Tne Ferris Wheel is not on its *ay to Butler, as reported, and the big Krupp Gnn will remain in Chicago; bat some of the best stock in the country will be on exhibition; all the departments will be fall; and all the preminms will be paid on the grounds. —The postoffice department at Wash ington baa raled that the writer has a right to gain possession of a letter provid ing he can prove to the satisfaction ofthe postmaster at the office from which it was sent that he was the writer of it. Even if the letter ha* arrived at its destination and before it has been delivered to the person to whom it is addressed it may be recalled by the writer by a telegram through the mailing office. The reason assigned is that the United States is only the agent of the writer while the letter is in transit. This decision is important to business men and to private individuals. —ln the hope that onr citizens would not lose their interest in the County Fair, the nanagement decided to hold their an naal fair this year while many other So ciety'* in the state refused to hold a Fair, on account of the World's Fair being held this year. No better mark of the prosper ity of the farmers of our county can b9 noted than the interest they take in the County Fair. The Batler Fair has a wide reputation as one of the best held any where. Its prudent management in the interests of all classes, together with the marked attention as well as attendance it has received from those directly in terested in agriculture and stock rais ing hae given it mach of its prominence. Let the interest not abate. Don't stay away from the fair and give your money to Barnum to be carried oat of your county and state, keep your quarters at home; by coming to the Fair your show your interest in home institutions, you help the management out, you show your interest in keeping up the reputation of your county in holding good Fairs, yon increase your stock of agricultural knowledge, you help your county seat by spending a few dollars there, you meet your friends and neigh bors, yoa become more social, in short you will be better in many ways for hav ing thus spent a day in.the cause of ag ricultural display. Come, bring your neighbors and children. Don't forget the days, next Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurs day and Friday, September 5, C, 7 and 8. —Quite a camber of our country sub scribers are back with us in subscription for two or more years We never ask for money except when we need it; and we hope that all these who attend the Fair or Court, next week will remember us. and that those who do not come will send us something with a neighbor. —An Englishman recently had his life stved by a SSOO wad of greenbacks which warded off a bullet aimed at him. With such simple mean - of precaution as this, at our very elbow, everybody should be prepared for an emergency. —Under the new sheep law the owners of dogs are liable for damages done by them, provided, after an investigation by the town-hip authorities,they refuse to kill the dog or dogs which did the damage. Killing the dogs will relieve him. Dogs under the age of four months are not to be taxed. —Recently a New Jersey farmer, while passing along the street in New York, heard the well known "neigh" of his good old horse, which had been stolen from his barn last winter, six months having elaps ed. The farmer turned, and there, .sure enough, was the affectionate old animal, hitched to a butcher'.- wapon. The horse tad reconized his rraster.and gave him the accustoir.ed signal. • The farmer recovered his property and the thief was arrested. —Some of our people residing on paved streets give as a reascn for allowing their "idewalk- to remain above or below grade, that the walks are now on the grade given them by the City Engineer years ago, be fore the street was paved. That may be the case,but everybody or nearly everybody living on a paved street has bad the grade of his sidewalk changed one or more times. The grade of any street cannot be deter mined until the street is paved. Poveriy, alone,is a gi*>d excuse for not putting your tidcwal'i ft grade. Stubbornness no ex cuse whatever. See to it that your side walk ceases to be a nuisance to your neighbors. —Here is some excellent advice from an unknown source: ''Keep clear of person alities in general conversation. Talk of things, objects and thoughts. Do cot needlessly report iil of others. The small est minds occupy themselves with person alities. There are family boards where a constant process of depreciating, assigning motives and cutting up of character goes I forward. These are not pleasant places • One who is healthy does not wish to dine at such a dissecting table. There is evil enough in man, God know.; but it is no the mi=sion of every youug man or to detail and report it. Keep the atmos phere as pure as pos.-ible, and fragrant with gentleness and charity. —A good many people get "stranded" in Pittsburg and when they come to pur chase tickets for home, find themselves short. The other day a lady approached one of the station officials and told him she needed a (juarter to pnrchase her ticket, lie had invested many quarters in this way and never got a return, but this lady looked so honest and so earnest, he gave her the required twenty five cents. The lady took his name: which he supposed was only for effect. But that is where he wa3 mistaken. The next day he received a letter, dated Indiana, Pa., enclosing a dollar "from the lady you gave the quarter to yesterday." That was all, but it nearly knocked the official off his feet .Messenger. —Notwithstanding the rain, some sixty of our citizens left town at 5 A. M. last Tuesday morning on the excursion train for Niagara. They arrived at Niagara at 3 P. M. just two hours later than schedule, time, which was not so bad. That night however, the first section of the excursion train left the Falls at 'J P. H. was doubled up with the second section at Buffalo, and the train was stopped at Greenville, where the excursionist waited two hours for a regu lar train. In all they were thirteen hours on the road. Everybody should see Niaga ra, which is one of the grandest and most beautiful sights of the earth, and these excursions to it would, we think, be more popular if better time were made. A new feature at the Fall -s is the Observation Tower over 300 feet high and from which one can trace the course of the river from Buffalo to the Whirlpool. Accidents. Thos. B. Smith of Butier had his sboal der broken by the fall of a screw, at the Smith & Leidecker well on the Crooks farm in Middlesex twp. last Satur day morning Dr. McCandless set the broken bone.

Henry of Buttercup, died, Fri j day evening. ; Though solicited to do so by several per sons, he would divulge nothing a- to his home or the whereabouts of his relations.

Half Rates and Fast Trains to Chicago Fair via Pennsylvania Railroad. The popular excursions to Chicago which am being run by the Pennsylvania Kail r >ad -'-em to furnish exactly what the people want. The first two trains were well patronized, and as the vacation season is now well advanced tho remaining excur sions will undoubtedly attract a much larger number of passengers. A decided improvement in train sched ule which accelerates it so as to deliver the passengers in Chicago at an early hour the following afternoon, places the tpecial train almost on an equality in the matter of speeil with the best express trains. The special trains are composed of the standard coaches for which tbe Pennsylva nia Kailroad is famous. Only one night is passed on the road, and the arrival in Chi cago in so timed as to give abundant oppor tunity for engaging quarters before night fall. The dates of the next excursions are \ugnst 23d, Sedtembcr 4th. 10th, 18th, 25th, The special train will leave Wash ington 10.1.1 a. m , Baltimore 11.10 a. rn., -topping at York, Harrisburg, Lewi.-town "Junction, and Tyrone, arriving in Chicago early the next afternoon. The excursion rate good only on tbe special train and valid for return within ten days, is fl7 from Washington and Baltimore, and pro portionately low from other stations. This arrangement also applies to all principal stations on the Baltimore and Potomac Kailroad. and Northern Central Railway between Baltimore and Clmira, Philadelphia and Krie Kailroad between Williamsport and Kenovo, and principal stations on the main line and branches between Harrisburg and Pittsburg. No one should fail to visit the Fair with such facilities at hand. How is This ?

Several thousand persons assembled at the Prett office in Pittsburg. Sunday | night at midnight, at which time and place the start was made, ane the twenty one contestants in lino started up Penn Ave. together, but one of them collided with a cable car, while trying to pass an other, and was badly injured.

Ily his pains taking efforts and scholarly work, Thomas Keene has reached that height!) in the dramatic World to which all actors aspire, but few attain. Mr Keene is deservedly the grea'est tragedian on the American stage, a position which he has attained ouly alter long aud tedious labor. His appearance at Armory Opera House on next Friday evening on which occurence ho will l» seen in Richard should draw out a picked amlince. In the various cbang ■ia entertainments that a dramatic i-eason brings forth one is always glad to welcome the recurrence of a season of tho legitimate drama. There are many hundreds of people who do not visit tho theatre- .; aay utUer time,and to-i.e most con.-tant patrons of comedy, opera, farce or spectacle, it is refreshing to turn to the deep and wholesomo lives of Shakespeare and other writers of the legi timate drama. While it cannot be denied that the pop ular taste in theatricals runs largely to the lighter form of entertainments, it is cheer ing to know that there stili remairn a very large, influential and paying patronage Air higher grade of plays. Men may come and men may go, but the love for the works ol Shakespeare, of Massouger, of Bulwer and other great dramatists, lies on, and when ever they are adequately presented they not only attract the highest grade o! audi ences, but vcrv remunerative ones as well. EAGLE'S SEST, SATURDAY, BKI'TEMBKR 2J "One touch of nature makes the whole world akin" we are told by the master and this perhaps is the groat secret of the phenomenal success of this play. A newspaper reporter has called the piece "An Idyl of the West." Poetical and pretty. It is a story of the Sierras, but never descends to the sensational level of the impossible. It never leaves the realm of the probable and therefore trut h fnl, which is a strong reason for the favor it nas met with from the press everywhere Its story is grounded on motives which might govern man's action everywhere. It full of strong human interest, without which no play can succeed. The emotion al love of young miner, Jack Trail, for his mother, might be anywhere. The villianly Illaisedon till known, might esist in the clubs, or hide its hypocrisy under the sanc tion of the church." Eagle's Nest is a good pi a}; one of the very best of its class. It is one among the many pieces on tho road under the New York management of Mr. W. A. Edwards, is handsomely staged wit 1 ? nev.- scenery and effects, and Will be pLj td by the Edwin Arden Company. A SEW PRODUCTION. Madeline Merli who will be seen here on Bepi. sth, is one of the very few young act resses now before tho public who cau be said to have a great future belbro her. Last season was her first in this country, but her acting was received with enthasiam everywhere she appeared. She is ol Ital ian descent, and llko most Romans pos sesses a wonderful amount of fire and mag -111 ti.-m. She will appear hero in a new play, "The story of a Kiss," from the French of Emile 'A< la. The part is a very powerful one and will give her scope lor all her ability. '•A PAIR OK KIDS." The musical pantomine farce "A Pair of Kids," which under the direction of Ezra Kendall has had such a successful run, i» now in its its ninth season. The comical old hayseed Jilcs Hut ton with his funny whistle and "well I'll be darned" is as amusing as ever.

We offer the following priies for the best bread baked from KLISCLER'S SSOW DRIFT FLOCK: FIRST PREMIUM, FIKTKR.N DOLLAR?. SECOND i'BSUICM. SEVEN DOLLARS THIRD PREMIUM. THKEE DOLLARS. ; TERMS:— Bread must be baked from , Klingler » Snow Drift Flenr. Take one loaf the tir«t day ol the Fair. Xo charge for entry fee. but be sure to have your name entered and your loaf uambered. Kvery loal" must bear a lable onl marked "Snow Drift." If you call at any of our places of business you can obtain printed labels. N'o member and no em ployee ol the firm of H. J. Klingler £ Co.. will be permitted to enter the eonte.-t. The Fair judges will award the prizes, and we will require an affidavit Irom each prize winner, setting forth that Klingler's Snow Drift Flour was exclusively used in making the bread which won the prite. WHO TVtLL BE THE LUCKY OSKsf Surely, you cau get one of the prizes if you try hard enough. Look out for nice bread. Customers brought Snow Drift bread to us during the past week and any of it was fit to take a premium. The But ler Fair will prove that Klingler's Snow Drift is THB BEST liRBAI) FLOPS IS BUTLER. The fact that we sell Snow Drift Flour so cheap, and everything else we make and handle, has led unscrupulous dealers to say to their customers —"Klingler's goods are inferior and therefore low in price." This is A BRAZES FALSEHOOD. Stranger, when anyone tells you a story like that, just step around to Klingler's and see for yourself. The reason, and the only reason, why our goods are so remark ably cheap, is because we aro selling di rect to tbe consumer at manufacturer's wholesale prices. Don't von see that we are selling every "card" customer at ex actiy the price the dealer him.-clf psysf We knocked the bottom out of Timcthy and all kinds of grass seeds. Presently some dealer rai>ed the cry: "Klingler's seeds are no good." Gentlemen, just a word, We warrant all our seeds the best in every respect in Itntler. or ever brought to Butler, and we further guarantee that all of our Timothy Seed is new(this year's) and all other seed in Butler is old. We are tired of hearing these misrepre sentations, and we would saj' to every customer, if you buy your goods from "a dealer who must perpetrate a falsehood upon you to make a sale, you better invost in a scale and see whether you get what you pay for. Short weights are the new way of competing iu prices. We guaran tee every buyer full weight and the quali ty he pays for. Some say wo are • singing the same song" all the time. We don't deny it. If the gong is good, it will not wear out. Our song has left more money in the pockets of consumers in the past few month - than the whole chorus of "calamity howlers," and therefore we continue to s'ing: 'GET A CARD" ASD SAVE TOCU MONEY?, N'ew Timothy Seed—Prime still $1.85 per bushel to "card" customers , Call at Oriental Roller Mills, Mifllin street; West Penn Elevator, opposite Pennsylvania depot; Main Office, 139 East Jefferson street.
