I aladiug their story and garlands of glory, Their name and their fame with their breath did not cease When to the immortals they swept through the portals, And roar of the conflict became perfect peace. —The fragrant lilac is in bloom. —Tommy Miles has opened a barber shop at Mars. —Seaside resort people do not anticipate much opposition from the World's Fair. —The Standard Oil Company is erecting extensive refineries in France, it is said. —The man who owns a rich marble quarry may be said have a blasted for tune. —lt is now the fashion for swell young men to have their gloves made to meas ure.

A large farm with these trees set on the roadside, perhaps 30 leet from the centre of the road and 25 feet apart, would sell enough nuts annually to pay the taxes and leave a sur plus for each picker sufficient to pay for picking. Just why farmers should neglect to properly care for such trees and tufl'er loss thereby is strange. USE DANAS' SARSAPARILLA, ITS "THE KIND THAT CURES." LEGAL NEWS. KOTBS.

When a picnic was being arrainged for, tho custom origionally was that those who intended to be present should supply the eatables and drinkables. A list of those necessities haying been drawn up, it was passed around, and each person picked out the articles of food or drink that ho or she is willing to furnish, and the name of tho article was nicked or ticked off the list. The open air entertainment thus bo came known as "pick and nick." The cus tom is said to have dated from 1802, so that the picnic is wholly an institution of the nineteenth centnry. —The Citizens Natural Gas Company has recently secured territory about one mile and a half in length, and three fourths of a mile in width, along the Fifth Sand Gas Belt in Summit twp., northeast by north, from JJerman Station. This stretch ofland lieson a line between tho Fisher Fifth Sander,on the Eichenlaub and the Phillips Fifth Sander, on the Her old farms. Tho finding of the fifth sand in the above named wells, with such enorm ous rock-pressure, is the most significant discovery in the history of the Natural gas business in Butler county. The wells referred to are comparatively li;ht in vol umt; but it is only a question of open, porous sand, and wells will be struck of larger minute pressure than any ever drill ed within tho limits of the county. The Herold well has a pressure of S6O Ifcs. Let a gravel-bed bo found in the fifth sand, in that vicinity, and the result will be instan taneous rock-pressure, or a volume of 860,1bs asquickly as tho gate can be closed. That would give the owners a well near ly double in volume of that of the'largest well ever struck in tho county; and that is just what is going to happen some day in the near future. The Citizen's Gas Company is certainly to be congratulated upon its foresight, and characteristic push in securing tho farms that it has under lease in tho locality de signated; and in pushing its developments in the interest of its patrons, it is to be hoped that such an abundant supply of gas may be found as will induce manufactur ing industries to locate in our town. Tho said Company now has two fields—one on each side of town, comprising an area of two thousand acres, which will soon be feeding its plant from both sides; and it is its intention to offer special inducements* to manufacturers in the way of cheap fuel by and by.

The gas problem if Butler a condition of vital importance lo the peo ple of this town. Never before in the historv of frsel g.i* has such a question presented itself to the people. The citizen who indifferently stands by and watches the present con flict between the rival companies with a view of securing lhe*adt: i nta of on'-rates for thepr< f» rt is a blind victim of Lis own stnpidity. Those who suppo a the pri-.-ent condition of things to be simply a light. be tween the compa::' ;-.rid tuat they will reap the benelit of it. ar- blind to their own interest and the best i. terest ot <>ur town. The cut in rates is but the combin ed effort of the two old companies to pre vent consumers from patromziug the Citi zens Company with a view of driving it out of the field a" a competitor, and regaining tho opportunity of imposing on the people their former high rati" Batja short time ;.g" the people of this town were paying tribute in the shape ofhigh rates for gas to a for eign corporation whose head, body, soul breeches", pockets and all. are located in the city of Buffalo, and whoso only interest in the town was the amount of money that could be extracted from our citizens by piping gas, the natural product of our coun ty, into town, md furnishing it to the town lor light and fuel at exorbitant rates. This mercenary corporation which has fastened its deadly fangs on the vitals of tho financial interests of our town estab lished itseif among us by donating a share of stock each to two rf our citizens and engaging in its employ such persons as would best serve its interests in drrwing to itself patronage for tho purpose of extracting from the peoplo high prices lor gas, and transmitting to the city of Buffalo some $60,000 annually to fill the maw of their foreign mercenary master. To-day this same foreign power which so lately exercised autocratic independence, is, throueh its paid emmisaries, carrying mis sions of iis magnannity to the doors of its victims. The determination of a few of onr local citizens who compose the Citizens Gas Company to relieve the people from the necessity of paying tribute to foreign capi talists, pursuaded this warm hearted Buf falo corporation that it would be policy to furnish the people of But lei with cheap gas to warm themselves by during the summer? Such a selfish piece of generosi ty on the part of a foreign mercenary pow er which forced from the people exhorbi tant rates lor gas during the long winter months should be regarded with suspicion and deserves the eontempt of every good citizen of our town. The meji connected with this corporation knowing its highly de served unpopularity with the people, have drawn to its aid a local ally in its at tempt to drive the Citizens Gas Company from the lield in order that it may reg*ln its former prestige The Citizens Gas Com gany has established reasonable rates which it guarantees it will not exceed lor a period of ten years, thus giving the people the assurance of low rates of gas. Xeither of the old companies give any as surance that their present low rates will even continue lor a month. The people, now as never before; have an opportunity not only of proving their loyalty to home enterprize and capital, but securing for themselves -. easonablo rates for gas in the future, and by so doing keeping their capital at homo. Tho drain of foreign corporations upon this town is enormous. It is to the interest of every citizen to keep as much of his money .it home as possible, to aid in the building up of the town, and sustaining home interprize and industries. The Citizens Gas Company is assured of an abundant supply of gas. ' It is the purpose of tho Company to pipe the entire town and give every citizen an oppor tunity of making a choice of whether he will support the Company that has been tho means of reducing tho price of gas and se cure continued reduction or by paying their money to a foreign cor poration, the}- will again subject them selves to foreign capitalists and take their chances of paying high rates again in the future. This is a question tho people will be called on to decide. With the decision and financial support of the people in its favor the Citizens Gas Company will be an assured and permanent success. Will you continue to send your money off to Buffalo or will you keep it at hornet The old company may be generous in offering you cheap gas to warm yourself by in tho summer time,but tho money you send off to Buffalo brings no return.

About the tii!!" the i.i_ r ut uortii wa , due, several hall-drunken men were making a disturbance in the ladies' waiting room. Crawford went out and notified them to cease the anovunce or go away.

Leech, of the South Side went to Kramer's livery barn to hire a rig and displayed considerable money and counted out S3BO, and being tired sat down in a carriage to rest, when h-3 felt sleepy. John Gill, better known as "Pegleg Jack," sometimes loafed about the barn and frequently slept in the mow, and, he was in the mow at the time anil overheard Leech count his money, and when Leech fell asleep ho ca:ne down ont of the mow and took the money. When Leech awoke he missed the money and re ported to Kramer, who told him that "Peg leg Jack" had been in the mow. Ho went before Esq. McAboy and told the story, and the Squire issued a warrant and com mitment for Gill, and placed it in the hands of Constable Korn, who arrested him and searching him found S3O.

We aucounjed last week that we would publish the analysis of a Flour shipped in to Butler which "had nearly prostrated an entire family. We hope everyone will profit by the publication of tha facts, and buy only such Flour as is known be pure. We sell all the Fiour wo manufac ture uuder a guarantee of absolute purity, and everybody knows that we will not on ly stand by our agreements, bat that a for feit cil money can easily be ev'lcct d from ns. AS EXPLANATION. The price of wheat at the time we began to advertise our new departure(Get "A CARD") was just about as it is now. At any rate, no decline has taken place. How does it come, reader, that dealers are offering Flour so much lower now than several week ; ago and are rushing into print to tell everybody f That's easy, you answer, because Klinglers have initiated a revolu tion in the Flour business in Butler, and have brought down the price so low that no dealer in outside Flour can get near it. Why. wo will sell you Flour and Feed ami everything wo handle at the price the dealer pays. Do you understand now why no dealer can sell j-ou the same grade of Flour, or anything else, as low as we can? Klingler's are first hands, The dealers are second hands. JCST OKT "A CARD" AND SKK FOR YOUR SELF. We are sorry to make anyone uncom fortable with the following testimony. However, it is tho truth, and an old adage says, "The truth harms no man," After you read tho following, perhaps you will wonder who will lie the iirst'to plead inno cence and publish guarantees of purity and rewards for the (letectiou of adultera tion. Hero is the analysis made by one of the best chemists in the United States, and it is properly sworn to: "This is to certify that-I Lave made an analysis of Flour, submitted by Mr. Klingler. The ingredients with which I found tho above Flour adulturated are as follows: Sulphur ic acid, alumina, copper, (iron.) I consid er all of the above chemicals (esccpt per haps : -ou) injurious to tho human system if o; t..! occasionly, and if" used reguljiiy will bring about serious disorders of the stom.-.ch. The adulterations may be id<-d to the flour, to give the bread a betU; appearance, deceiving the consum er. , Ph. I!., Prof, of Chemistry College of Pharmacy, and Prof, of Chemistry at Medical College. Sworn aud subscribed before me a no tary public. JOHN REDMAN, Notary Public." We have the original of the above in our safe, and omit the name of the Flour and also of the chemist to not impose upon the latter with a correspondence which would thus bo inaugurated. We have some more tales to tell out of school, because they are, as the school girl says, too good to keep. But enough for this lime. Do yourself a lavor. Go to first hands. Get the purest aud best to be had. Buy at the bottom. Stand by the enterprises that help yonr town j our county aud yonr self. Get "A CARD," and buy your Flour and Feed, etc., where you can save your money, and tho health of your family and your stock. The "CARD" is a wonder worker on prices. It is free.

The old mother cat came in just a-; the last cat ■was disappear ing down the canine'* throat and jumped on the dog. A tierce combat ensued in ' which the dog wu terriblp scratched, flleeding and howling he ran from the room and has not since been seen. It H probably the first ca>e on record in which a dog has eaten kittens, and shows a very depmed appetite. There is now an underground passage way from the Westmoreland shaft, at Manor, to the Osceola mines on the Youghiogheny river, a distance of ten miles. The passage-way was completed Saturday by miners who have taken the coal out of'the earth for that distance. Fleas have driven the families of John Snyder and his -on David from their horfle near Ilinkletown, Lancaster County. It is a farm house, and the tlea.-. have taken absolute possession. Xeighbers are afraid to enter it. It is supposed that several tramps carried the pets to the residonce. Wilson Robinson, a farmer of Edenburg. had a terrible experience with a vicious horse at his farm Monday. He was driv ing the animal in company with several more into the barn. He struck it with a whip, and the lierce brnte at once attack ed him, kicking him with both fret. He was hurled several feet, and as he arose was attacked again, receiving a kick that fractured his jaw. The animal seemed content alter this, and Mr. Robinson stag gered toward his house. He had nearly reached it when the horse rushed at him again and kicked nim through the kitchen door, fracturing his skull. He will prob ably die as a result. The horse was shot. A terrible storm of wind and rain pass ed over Clarion, Tuesday. Telephone poles were blown down in the streets, and | a bridge across the Clarion river near Toby j creek was flown into the river. Loss to the county, $2,000. The recent floods at Xew Castle, and re sults developing from investigations made in the interval, are resnlting in the move ment to compel the removal of all dams and other artificial obstructions from the Shenango river and other water courses in tha* section. A ri.-e of an additional six ir.ches to the latest high water mark would have involved an appealing disaster. It Rained Ice. At 3:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon the sky was bright and clear at Pittsburg. The sun seemed even more radiant than usual and Pittsburg was enjoying the most pleasant spell of weather had in many weeks. The! principal avenues were thronged with people, hurrying to and fro and the scene was as delightful as it was inspiring. At 3:40 o'clock there was a complete change. Dark looking clouds began to form, the atmosphere grow heavy, sonor ous peals of thunder, as if foretelling d». struotion, sh~ok the picturesque hills that envelop the city, and then there was a calm, but only "tor an instant. Darkness likened unto that which prevails at the still hour of the night came on, flashes of lightning leaned forth from the heavens, and it seemed an though a battle lor su premacy was on between the elements that reign in the upper regions. Suddenly there was a sharp report and the storm broke forth in its fury. Tt was exactly 3:45 i*. si. What a change in fifteen minutes' time! Hail stones the size of which were never equaled iu that section of the county exce;it perhaps in 1850. de scended with a lightning-like rapidity, causing ruin in almost every part of the two cities. It lairly rained ice, and as thousands ofter thousands of ice pebbles fell trom the heavens the sound of break ing glass could be heard in every quarter. The streets that were so crowded with pedestrians were now deserted, and the multitude of people hurriedly sought shelter in door-ways and under protecting awnings. The fusilade, for such it was, lasted only fiye minutes, but in that short space of time it is estimated that damage was done to the extent of $200,000. One boy was fatally injured, mauy persons seriously and at least twenty horses killed. Nine thousand panes of glass were shattered at tho Schenley park conservatory, Nevillo island farmers suffered a loss of over $50,- 000 and the destruction caused in Alle gheny as well as in Pittsburg and vicinity is placed at SIOO,OOO. Business was para! ised, people were dismayed and elements had full control. Examinations for Princeton University. Entrance and I'lelimlnary for Freshman .also entrance for Sophomore Classes.
