—Killikinick, or kihikinick, which the
Indians are in the habit of mixing with
tobacco, is rapidly becoming extinct.
Several plants have received this name,
but they have no right to it. The true
herb is the inside bark of a young willow'
and, when smoked alone, makes a mild
and pleasant smoke.
—Within a short time the Pennsylvania
Railroad, from Pittsburg to New York,
will be equipped with the automatic
electropneumatic signal system. When

ployed to work the signals, will be no
longer needed.
—An observant drummer says he can
readily tell who is the boss on the farm he
passes, the farmer or his wife. If a farm

know that the woman has her own way.
"Where there is a new house and a good
barn, it may be taken for granted tbe man
and woman are equal in authority.

—Strange to say, there appear* to be a
greater demand for qualified person* to
serve as Patent Office examiner* than there
are applicants. This probably i* because
the position demands considerable scientif
ic knowledge, only to be acquired by
thorough study, and ability to make intel
ligent use of such knowledge in the per
formance of official duties. Applicant* for
examinerships in the Patent office must
pass examinaion before the Civil Service
Commission, Washington, D, C., who will
farnisb blank* and instructions. The *ub
jects of the examination are: Physic*,
technics, mathematics and chemi*try, and
mechanical drawing. The salary of the
position is $1,200 per annum.
—ln these times of financial depression
the prompt business method* of a great
institution are conspicuous. Recently the
death of Mr. David Go**er, formerly of
Duller, occnrred in Allegheuy City. In
November, '92, the New York Life lnsor
ance Company issued to him a policy for
$5,000, which amount was paid to Mrs. Go*-
ser four days after the necessary paper
were mailed to New York This company
began business nearly 50 years ago. To
day it is one ol the greatest in*titutions in
the world. With asset* of one hundred
and forty million* of dollars and a surplus
of seventeen millions of dollars, it offers
unquestioned protection to the people.
Each year it receives over $30,000,000 and
distribute* about half that amount.

LEGAL NEWS.
The September Quarter > —;t>n- com
menced Monday noon, with Judge Greer
presiding, and the Judge's new commis
sion as President Judge of the Seventeenth
Judicial District was read by the I'rothon
otary.
Several motions were heard, the reports
of the Constables were received and ex
amined, the Grand Jury was called and
=wom. and the balance of the week in
Court has been occupied in hearing argu
ments.
The Court instructed the Constables that
it was their duty to make a report of such
cross-roads in their districts as do not have
finger or direction beards up, and as the
Constables receive no pay for that, or for
trotting over the township looking at the
roads, under the old fee bill; it would be ,
a great scheme for all the to re- 1
sign and be reappointed or elected: fro as
to come under the new fee-bill which gives j
them fair pay.
The findings of the Grand Jury up to the ;
time of our going to press are as follows:

Comparatively few understand why a
person in charge of an estate is styled an
administrator in one cane and an executor
in another, although their duties are pre
cisely the same, said an old attorney. An
executor is named in the will to administer
the estate. An executrix is a female. If
there in no will the female who closes the
estate is called the administratrix. If the
person named in the will as an executor re
fuses to serve, the court appoint* another
pernon and he is styled the administrator
with the will annexed. If a pernon in
charge of an estate die* or default* and i*
removed, his successor is called an admin
istrator de bonus non, or an administrator
of the remaining assets.

The Fair.
! This is the week selected in this county
j for the usual combination of animal and
vegetable life, farm machinery, out-door
; and in-tent amusements, eating and drink
ing booths, horse racing, advertising
I schemes, quilt and fancy work displays,
i etc.. commonly called the Agricultural
I Fair; and all the departments are as full
, and complete as usual.
The attendance, Wednesday, consider
ing the threatened rain was very good,
aud to-<'. »y, (Thursday; the grounds are
crowded.
Floral Hail with its heaven ofqniits—all
patches and several yard wide—with
fancy work for stars and pictures for a
rainbow, was, as n-ual the centre of at
traction for the women; and it this year
contained an unu-ual attraction in tiio shape
of several hundred loaves jf bread, all
baked,by different persons, from Klicgler's
85 cent, "Snow Drill'' flonr. Each and
every loaf there looked good and sweet,and
tender enough to melt in one's mouth, aud
woe unto the Judges who do not award a
World's Fair premium to each and every
one. 'Twere better that they go up in the
Ferris Wheel, and stay there
Campbeli <fc Templetun displayed some
beautitul furniture; Deuthe'.t & Graham
some elegant clothing and gents furnish,
ing goods; liardman. Zuver, and Wertz
many life like pictures and photo*; Ciricb
<fc Lamb and the Music Co. some beautiful
instruments—and then there was gla-s
--cutting, and model-, and drawings, and
paintings, and etchings and tim many
other things made by local and other ta!
ent that goto fill up Floral ilali.
Vegetable Hall was arrayed in ail it
glory with Heck' flowers on top, and
Pierce's trees around them, and a gor.d
display < 1 potatoes, ai.d moderate i::splay
of other things.
Then came the cattle which, we are sor
ry to say, seemed to be mostly from ad-
joining counties and other states, but there
were some good herds from Butlf-r county,
no lafojy W. C. Barren's Bolsteit- —all line
looking animal:,—and L. H. Campbell's
Jerneys. Harry Fauble of the Hotel But
ler had a herd of fourteen Bolsteins from
his West Virginia farm <>n exhibition.
The sheep pen: were well filled with
sheep of all grades of wool, and tit- pig
pees with pigs of all sizes and colors.
There were little pi.L's weighing not more
than ten pounds, nnd one immense white
boar owner put i.: weight at 700
pounds.
The hor?e show was, as usual, equal to
that of any county fair in the the r antry.
Thei e were one hundred tnd eighteen
splendid anin-.ais on exhibition, and nearly
a? many were entered for the races.
In the open S. B.Martincourt A Co. hare
as line a display of carriage.--, wagons, bug
gies, etc. as you will gee anywhere; Harry
McXees had one of his excellent .stone
pumps on exhibition, and other firms had
farm machinery, etc.
"The "Midway Plaisance" contained its
usual assortment of sideshows, gia ware,
snake den?, Patent Medicine, pop-corn and
drinking booths.
The display of poultry is the largest ever
known here there being several large dis
plays, and this department attracted a
great deal of interest.
THP. RACES.
The two-year-old trot or pac« did not
fill, and in the three-year-old trot Wanita,
owned by Bowser, Bros., of Kittanning,
won in straight beats without being
pressed to her limit.
The three-year-old pace wan equal
ly one sided and wa won by Daisy Bop
kins, owned by Anderson.
On Wednesday they were late getting
off and only two ot the three races on
the card were started.
Lady Walker, driven by 11. A. Moore
head won the 2:50 trot, and Common
wealth driven by the same driver won
the 2:40 pace in straight heat.-.
—The following information may lie u e
fal: Sprinach has a direct effect upon tlx;
kidneys. The common dandelion, used a.
greens is excellent for the same trouble.
Asparagus purges the blood. Celery acts
admirably upon the nervous system, and i.-
a cure for rheumatism and nearagia. To
matoes act upon the liver. Beets and
turnips are excellent appetizers. Bettnce
and cucumbers are cooling in their effects
upon the system. Onion-, garlic, leeks,
olives and shallots,all of which are similar,
possess medicinal virtue of a marked
character, stimulating the circulatory
system, and the consequent increase in the
saliva and the ga-tric juice promote di
gestion. The onions are an excellent
diuretic, and the white ones are recom
mended to be eaten raw as a remedy for
insomnia. A juice made from onions is
regarded by the French as an excellent
restorative lor weakness of the digestive
organs.
Sujigestions Contained in the Popular
Summer Ouhb 1 Hook of the /'<.•/><• «/?<■/<« in
Railroad Compai j.
Complimented by the pres ami indorsed
by tourists and practical travelers, the
Summer Excursion book of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company f'fthis year'- has
become, in consequence of these recom
mendations and its own real worth, a most
highly-prized complication. The many
and deversified routes, including every
road of prominence within the great Ham
mer belt of Eastern I'nited Strt.es, offer
those contemplating an early fall trip an
opportunity of choosing new and interest
ing means of reaching their destinations.
A list of hotels is appended to each resort,
which it is self-evident adds materially to
the value.
The month of September being probably
the finest month in the year in which to
travel, an increased demand for this graph
tc production has become noticeable, an d
that all may avail themselves of the mani
fold advantages to be derived from an
inspection of :ts plain and concise yet
elegant and complete descriptions of a
thousand places within a radius of a thou
sand miles, the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company's Pi -enger Department will
mail the bock mentioned to any address
upon receipt of 20 cents in stamp*. A
nominal sum merely, with cot t of postage
added. Copies may also be obtained from
Ticket Agents of the company.

Half Kates and Fast Trains to Chicago
Fair via Pennsylvania Railroad.
The popular excursions to Chicago which
are being run by the Pennsylvania Hail
road seem to furnish exactly what the
people want. The first two trains were
well patronized, and as the vacation season
is now well advanced the 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 speoial
train almost on an equality in the matter
of speed with the best express trains.

The General Health.
At the meeting of Council, Tuesday even
ing. Metsers Gibson and Bell of the Board
of Health handed in a report criticizing
the condition of two drains in the East
End, one of which is made filthy by the
sewerage of the Orphans Home, and the
other (the Monroe .--treet drain) by the
J general filth of the neighborhood. Both
i these drains were pronounced to be dan
gerous to the health ol the community;
and as the Council cannot extend the pub
lie sewer up Monroe street without a pe
tition of the property owners there; all the
Health Board can do is to force the peo
ple to abate the nuisances. People should
bear in mind that the Healtn Board, under
the new law, is under oath to do their
duty; and that they have full power to en
force thtir j-ist deuiaiiJs. Therefore take
heed t-j their notices. In the Monroe St.
district there are at present five cases of
typhoid fever within a radius of a hundred
yards.
Thirty-eight citizens of South Main St"
petitioned for the removal of the porch
across the sidewalk in front of Mrs. Sloan's
property. This has long been an eyesore
to the public and should be removed, and
jwu will receive sixty days notice.
Some citizens ol" the town appeared and
"kicked'' on having their eaye pipes dis
connected from the sewers. This was
done on account of the raia-water flooding
some cellars on the flat, and the parties
whose pipes have been torn out, think it
would be better to shut off the cellars.
The Solicitor was directed to enter ap
peals from the awards of the viewers in the
Smith and Clark cases—the bills of the
Board of Health amounting to SOO were
ordered paid—some board walks were
ordered advertised—some petitions referred
to committees, the usual monthly bills
ordered paid, and Council adjourned till
October 7th.
Fires.
The home of Patrick Walsh on the east
end of Z«igler Ave., was discovered to be
on fire at midnight of last Thursday night;
and the flames had already made such
progress, that neither it or any of the fur
niture could le paitil. Mr. Walsh and
his tamily were at the home of a sick rela
tive at the time He lost everything, and
the officials of the Plate Glass Co. are
raising a fund for him. The house of
Martin Ileim. standing near Walsh's, was
also partially burned. The properties arc
in Sumit twp. but the Butler Fire Compa
nies coupled a .string of hose about thirteen
hundred feet long, and dd the best they
could.
The barn of Findlay Surrena of near
Clintonville was destroyed by fire, a tew
days ago. Mr. Surrena lost bis crops,
farming implements, two cows and one
horse, llis loss is estimated at $2,500,
with SI,OOO insurance.
Oil Notes.
Field <fc Canning drilled their well on
the James Parks farm into the sand last
week and have a good pumper.
The Gibson <fc Gahegan well on the
Anderson, south of Butler, was drilled to
the 3d sand.
P. C. Fredericks No. 3 on the Goehring,
and Brown and Sutton's No. 2 on the
I)avis are rated at 200 bbls. each.
In Winfield township,on the McLaugbin
heirs farm, and a mile south of develop
nients, W. A. Hennison is building a rig
for an important test well. There have
been many test wells drilled by T. W.
Phillips and others in an effort to find an
out to the Coylesville & Logue larm de
velopments, but thus far they have been
ur ncsessful. Should this last venture fail
to t.ud oil in the third sand, it will no
doubt develop a good gas pressure in that
formation.
Armory Opera House.
"THE BCSGLAK," THURSDAY SBI'T. 7th.
it is seldom that a Troy audience mami
fests coldness when artistically entertain
ed, but when at Rand's Opera House last
Thursday evening it was finally inspirited
by the thrilling third act climax in "The
Burglar" and demanded the appearance ol
the gifted actor who had so successfully
interpreted the titular role, lie for some
time refused to respond. It may have
been because be was exhausted by
the difficult work of the scene just
concluded, or it may have been
that he was not erraptured at the
stolidity with which the finely presented
preceding acts had been received. But
this as it may, it is true that one of the
most successful of recent local dramatic
productions was not eniouraged.as it plain
ly deserved. Since its pesentation here
last year, "The Burglar" has been over
hauled in cast and brightened in text.
Both have been appreciable ;strengthened,
and now combine to furnish forth an even
ing of genuine dramatic enjoyment.—Troy

Sensitive People.
It is well known that many people are
so sensitive that they are unwilling to
make known their ailments or infirmities,
and that this fact alone prevents them
from receiving proper medical treatment.
Dr. Humphreys' Series of Specifics
being designated by numbers, entirely
overcomes this difficulty. There are thirty
five (35) numbers covering the range of
every disease that it is proper for a layman
to treat, and you have but to ask your
druggist for the needful numbers, be it
Specific .No, 7, Specific No. 10, Specific
No. 30 etc.. and bo will at once hand you
the proper Specific with full directions lor
use, without question or without intima
tion of the disease for which it is a cure.
Apply to your druggist, or send to the
•Humphreys' Company, New York, for a
copy of their Manual.

Made Maps of Pulp.
Dr. Maltby, of the Slipperyrock Xormal [
was on the programme of the Allegheny j
County Institute, held last week, for an I
address on "Pulp Modeling in Geography."
He turned the place into a veritable pulp ,
mill, affording an entertainment of the I
instructive and interesting kind.
'•I think I have a plan which solves the
problem of mating pulp at a minimum'
cost," he said. '-It is simple, and within
the comprehension of all. Take a news
paper and tear it into peices about an inch
square—no smaller. Place the biu in a
bucket and pour boiling water over them.
Just enough water to cover the paper and
allow it to stand not less than six honrs.'
He then illustrated his plan by making
maps on cardboard with the pulp. The
maps were perfect. Mountains, rivers and
towns standing out in little mounds.
