LOCAL AND GENERAL.
Batter Up.
The ball is on tl ■: diamond and the yell is
in the air,
And the bases are located on the catawam
pas square;
The mob is on tho bleachers and the "ton"
are in tho stand,
And the pitcher stands a-posin' with the
white sphere in his hand !
The umpire is a squattin' and the catcher
stands far back.
And the batter with tho willow wants to
give the ball a whack;
The captian stands a-waitin' for a chance
to holler "slide !"
And the bets are going even at ten dollars
on a side.
\V e know that spring is with ns and the
"fans are fall of glee;
Aid the strikes are coming as regular as
one—two —three !
And the man who hits the other once too
often finds it "out!"

—Summer will soon be here; so get out
and get in yonr hammock; practice getting
in, lying in, and getting out of it that all
may ba done with grace. And be thank
ful you will not be compelled to wear
those big hoops. Just think how people
would stop and look, if you were reposed
in a hammock, enjoying a cool breeze, ar
rayed in crinoline.
—Some engineers in the employ of the
Penn'a K. It. were in town. Monday, sur
veying around the creek. It is thought
that this company is contemplating the
building of a road down the Connoque
nessing to the Beaver, to connect with it's
western lines, and thus make a throngh
route for freight via the Butler Branch,
and West Penn to the East.
—lf farmers had put their wheat into
market soon alter harvest, they would have
had better prices for it and saved all loss of
interest and shrinkage. As a rule the farm
er who sells his wheat without holding it
makes the most in the end. There are
thousands of bushels of wheat now held in
the central part of the state which will be
sold at much less than the price was just
after harvest.
—An exchange tells the story of a boy
who was sent to market with a sack of
roasting ears and after lingering around
town all day, came home without selling
them. When his mother asked him why
he had not sold the corn be said that no
one had asked him what was in the sack.
There are many merchant - like that boy.
They buy a stock of goods and never let
the public know that they have them or
that they wish to dispose of them.
—A pretty littlo ircident happened
when the Liberty Bell train stopped at
East Brady. A big policemen guarding
the bell saw a mother standing on the
depot platform with her baby in her arms.
He called for the baby to be brought to
bim and willing hands soon passed the
sweet little bundle of humanity up to him,
when he took it in his great brawny arms
and placed the smiling, crowing infant on
top of (he bell for a moment. Other babies
were handed up to be similarly honored,
and the kind-hearted policemen were kept
busy placing on the historic bell the
similing cherubs who gazed in innocent
wonderment on the scene transpiring
around them. — Review.

days unless it shelters a good wagon, bug
gy, carriage or cart. Of course it is not
necessary that the farmer should own one
of each, but he can hardly get along with
out one or the other. Vehicles of all kinds
arc much cheaper now tban they were
years ago, and they are much better too,
as far as that is concerned. When you
want to buy one you will of course want to
tako advantage of ull new stock and get
the best the market affords. To do this it
will be nem.-ary to call at Marticourt's
Jefferson Street Warehoii-e, where one of
the largest and most complete lines ever
brought to Butler will bo fouud. Seo

—One of the features of the train bear
ing the Liberty Bell from Philadelphia to
Chicago was the four giant reserves who are
to act as the guard for the bell while away
from home. Their instructions are not to
leave tho relic out of sight of more thau
two of their number at any time. Those
four strapping inon are proud of their post
ot honor. Thov, Thomas • Gillingham,
William Search, Georeo Matchner and
George T. Benners, were selected because
of their long service and bravery on the
police force. Chicago will undoubtedly
have her hands full to find four compli
ments to these stalward men in size,
weight, strength and personal appearanco.
If the four should he placed on top of one
another they would make a monolith near
ly twenty-five feet high. They weigh half
as much as the ponderous Liberty Bell,
which weighs over 2,000 pounds. They
can lift hundred-pound weights and toss
them about as they would dumb-hells, fn
fact, auy one of the four would probably
make it very unhappy for any relic hunter
or vandals who might bavo the impuden
j ce to attempt to chip off a bit of the old
Liberty Bell.
—A good-hearted preacher met with an
amusing adventure the other day that has
caused many a smile among his congrega
tion and other friends. Like all good domin
ies he is always willing to assist anybody in
distress. On this occasion he was walking
down street when he saw a small boy tug
ging at a door bell,and just around tho corn
a group'ofsmall boys, apparently in hiding,
watching their oompanion. Seoing that
efforts the boy was making to ring tho hell
were without result, the minister stepped
up to bim and said goodnaturedly: "Can't
you ring tho bell, little boy? Let me help
you," and grasping the handle he gave the
bell a pull that resounded all over the
neighborhood. • 'Now," said the boy with
a fiendish grin on his dirty face, "you've
got to t ,sdn like the devil; that's tho «-ay
we do, and he and his companions disap
peared around the corner. The minister
was too dazed to tako the boy's advice,and
a moment later when a very excited and
angry woman with a red face pulled the
door wido open and sailed oat like a cy
clone, all he could do was to explain aud
apologize—an apology that was received
with suspicion.
—The recent publishing of tho auditors'
report of the accounts of tho Overseers of
the Poor in the borough of Butler is excit
ing some discussion amony tho taxpayers.
According to the report the receipts from
the collector for the year just past are
about $5,000. Tho total expenses for the
same time were $2,800, leaving a cash
balance 0f52,200, or almost as much as
the total expences of the year. In addi
tion to this there is due from tho duplicate
of 1892 SI,OOO, 75 per cent, of which will
be collected. These figures leave in the
hands of the board $3,100, or about S3OO
more than last years expenses. There is a
general belief that there is little need of a
poor tax levy for this year or at best a half
mill tax would cover all the exigencies of
the year end leave SBOO to spare. There
may be reasons why there should be a sur
plus of $2,000 or more in the fund, but tho
average taxpayer cannot seo it, and to the
average taxpayer the reduction of a mill
in the taxation is an item to bo looked at.
It may be possible that the demands on
the Overseer the coming year will be great
er than last, but it is just as probable that
the demands will be less. The indigent
poor of the town are not increasing in
numbers to such an extent that a one and
a hall mill levy will be required.— Hcrtiltl.

week.
The Oil City Derrick's monthly report
summarises the Butler field as follows:
Butler and Armstrong is steadily gain
ing in activity. Fourteen wells were com
pleted in April against thirteen in March
and the new production was nearly threo
fold that of March. While tho March
wells averaged 20 bbls.,those of April were
good for fifty bbls. apieco. Five of the
April wells were unproductive of oil, leav
ing nine good wells with an aggregate out
put of 455 bbls. Eight productive wells
were completed in March with 160 bbls.
production, against eight in February
with 266 bbls. Five dry holes were di -
covered iu March with "only one for the
mouth preceding. Fourteen wells and six
dry holes were completed in January and
the new production was 442 bbls. It will
be seen that the April figures approximate
very closely thoso of January. New York
which had dropped to a very low ebb at
the close of January, has been steadily in
creasing. The figure for April 30th are 21
rigs and 43 wells drilling, an increase of
two rigs and .seven drilling wells over
March For the close of March, the count
was 19 rigs and 36 drilling wells, as com
pared with 17 rigs and 27 wells drilling at
the close of February and 12 rigs and 17
drilling wells at tho'close of January. The
new production for Butler and Armstrong
Ihe past month is small, compared with
the results of the u'ork of tUe drill last
July, when with IS productive wells, the
output of fresh crude amouted to 1.278
bbls.
There is a good deal of interest center
ed in two wells the Forest Oil company is
drilling near the top of the sand at Pierie's
Mills, southwe.-t of the old Brush Creek
developments. They were started, osten
sibly, for gassers, bnt not a few think oil
will bo found in one or both.
North Washington, Butler Co., is loom
ing up as a oil centre, having at present
two fairly good wells with sufficient gas as
the wells flow. It is supposed to bo a
continuation of the Byron field, the "sand"

The Complexion.
With a va.-t number of persons, and
more especially with the gentler sex, the
state of the skin of the face is a matter ol
profound importance, with all a clear pure
complexion is desirable as indicating sound
health and bright intellect. There may 00
pimples or actio of various forms, size or
color, or there aro freckels in blotches or
discrete, or there may be discoloration
from excess or imperfect elimination of
pigment, to say nothing of more decided
forms of disease. All these varied forms
fall directly within the curative action of
'•Humphries'Specific No. Fourteen." No
one can use this marvelously eflectivo Spe
cific for even a few week, without witness
ing the most surprising results in clearing
the complexion, dissipating tho cloudy or
swarthy appearance, and gradually giving
a better, brighter, healthier tone to the
entire face as well as to tho skin in goaer
al. Thousands, while using "Specific No.
Fourteen," for eruptive diseases without
even a thought of tho complexion have
been surprised und delighted beyond
measure at this unlooked for result, For

MAIN'S BIG SHOW.
Walter L. Main's big show pitched its
immense canvas in Superior yesterday
and gave the best circus that was ever
witnessed within the limits of the town.
It seemed to bo tho pride ot the managers
to give everythingjust as they had adver
tised it, and the result was the most satis
fied crowd that has ever attended an en
tertainment of this sort hero.
Their punctuality, too, was remarkable.
At precisely 10:10 tho parade formed. At
precisely l! the show commenced; 4 to the
minute it dismissed, aud at prompty
quarter to eight tho evening show opened.
The parade, like the rest of the show,
far surpassed anything that has ever be
fore been given here.
The afternoon attendance must have
been in tho neighborhood of 5000 people,
as even the standing room was occupied.
Most of the acts were new, and their
tight and slack rope performances, tum
bling, etc., were espociallv good. The
whole thing went off with only one slight
accident to one of the trapeze artists in
making an aerial leap.—Superior Daily

Found Dead in the Woods.
Last Thursday morning another dead
body was found in the McKeever woods in
Donegal twp.
Some one was going through the woods
that morning when they found the decom
posed body of a medium sized man, lying
with his face down, aud his arms doubled
under him, a messenger was sent to Butler
and Detective Allen went out and made
an examination and is convinced that the
body is that of Steflant, a little German
stone mason, who has been abont Butler
for the past 20 years.
The McKeever farm is becoming quite
notorius as this is the third mysterious
death that has taken place there, several
years ago a man whose identity was not
known was found dead there, and about
two years aeo another whose identity has
never been discovered, and now Steffant—
all in the same woods. Some timo ago a
gang broke into the McKeever home and
after paging and otherwise misusing them
made them tell whore they had their
money hid.
THE TALK OF THE TOWN.
Twenty Thousand Dollars Saved to the
People of Butler Next Year.
How's that? Klinglers have knocked
the bottom out of Flour and Feed. The
dealers persised in bringing Western
Flour and Feed to Butler, and now
Klinglers have at last concluded to sell to
the retail tiade. Flour and Feed goes
directly from the manufacturer to tho
consumer. No middleman's profits any
longer. One Hundred Thonsand Dollars
worth of Flour and Feed sold in Butler
last year. Klinglers will sell it for Eighty
Thousand Dollars and allow the consumers
to keep the other twenty thousand.
NOW EVERYBODY GET YOUR
SHARE.
TUB MORE VOtT BUY. THE MORE YOr MAKE.
This is an houest move in tho right
direction, is what our best citizens say.
We not only save you an immense sum of
money yearly, but we keep the money at
home, and give it to the Butler farmer
and the Butler wage-earner, aud not to
tho Western miller and We»t<rn farmer
and Western wage-earner, who keeps it all
out there. Yes, we have struck the popu
lar cord.
But more that all, we give you better
Flour and Feed than you ever had. All
of.it is made in our two mills rifjht here in
Butler. No cheap adulterations! We
warrant everything absolutely pure, aud
just as represented, or money refunded
Why, people come and tell us they never
had such bread in the house as they now
have with Klinglers' ilour. They say, it
it tastes different and makes them feel
better, than the bread made out of the
Western Flour. But how get advantage
of our new department!
COME AND «ET "A CARD."
Our retail prices are not changed:
Oriental, a warranted familv flour,
per sack $1 15
Snow Drift, an elegaut high grade,
per sack 1 1 20
Silver Foam, sold to finest trade in
tho U. S., per sack 1 40
4 But the prices on "the card'' are chang
ed. Got "a card"' at once and see for
yourself. Even after you have "a card"
you need not buy. We are obliged to sell
you at u certain special price, if you hold
"a card." That's all.
Onr scheme is a public benefaction.
We will save the citizens of Rutler
twenty thousand dollars a year. We will
keep eighty thousand and with the other
twenty saved, one hundred thousand
dollars here annually, to be distributed in
liutlcr. We will givo the consumer better
Flour and Feed and all kinds of cereal
goods thau he ever had bofore.
KLIXGLKRS WILL "BUST CP. "
selling Flour and Feed so cheap—some
merchants cry. Very well, the public
gets the beuelit,and that ■'•ill be a novel
kind of a failure. Everybody knows thero
is little money in selling goods upon our
new plan, bat never mind about that. We
have counted the cost, and as we have a
large and growing wholesale trade all
over the United States, we are willing to
serve tho people of Butler—our own
neighbors— at a small profit. Furthermore.
WB NEVER DO ANYTHING 11V HALVES,
and, therefore, depend upon it, we won't
sell you a few small lots at a reduced
figure tbis month, and then put the price
up on you next month. No, sir!
COMK AND GET "A CARD,"
IT IS GOOD FOR ONE YEAR.
If you don't uuderstand what it is, call
for one, and we will explain it fullv.
Benefit by the greatest reduction In
Flour and Feed Butler has ever witnessed.
Nobody it. barred. Every resident of
Butler can get "a card."
With our present facilities for delivering
goods, we have been unable to fully meet
the wants of the trade, but we will add
extra delivery wagons shortly aud clean
up all the orders daily.
The people of Butler have been fooled
long enough on the Flour and Feed
question. Wo will give you an "eye
opener." Don't hesitate to get "a card"
at once at any of the following places:
Oriental Roller Mills, Mifllin street;
West Penn Elevator, opposite I'enu'a
depot; main office, 139 East Jefferson
street. Telephone No. 10.

P. S.—We handle salt now, and by the
way, it's the "Winfield No. 1. Dairy Salt,"

on. Every family ought to have a barrel,
as it will keep indefinitely in a dry place.
This salt is made by the Rough Run Mfg.
Co., and is absolutely pure. With "a
card." you can buy a barrel for what you
will pay for a few large bags of table salt.

This new mral plav commenced a three days
engagement at tlie Park matinee yesterday and
drew Immense audiences, both matinee and
evening It is a very good tnd Interesting play
tilled with thrilling and realistic scenes.
Frank Jones as Sasou Wheatlev, the Country
Cousin, succeeded In keeplug the audience in
the very best of lmmor. The company is good
and the singing of the famous Farmer'Quarteite
was excellent and merited several well earned
encores. The railroad scene is the best we have
had this season, lteal switches, telegraph
poles, derricks and the flight of the midnight
express brought the audience to their feet.
The train ts.no feet long and crobses the stage
in six seconds. A genuine threshing machine
li. operation aided greatly In the realism of
the farm scene. The play is one that will
please all and the Park will certainly be packed
to-day and to-morrow matinee anil evening.
