"There was a young girl in the choir,
Whose voice arose hoir and hoir,
Till it reached such a height
It was clear out of seight,
And they found it next day in thespoir.'*

the remark of a Pittsburg newspaper that
Mangtlwas fined $5,000 for not reading

—See that your cows are under shelter
daring frosty nights, and they will not be

—Coming home from the agricultural
f air, where he had been awarded all of the
prizes, "the old farmer complacently re
marked: "Yes, the judges were good men
and their decisions gave gineral satisfac
tion."
—The fire of Sunday night showed the
necessity for a system of fire alarms in this
town. The Campbell Hose Co.'s bell was
the first to be rung, and strange to say
the next was the Springdale bell; the First
Ward Co. heard the Springdale bell first
and ran their cart to the Willard House
before discovering their mistake. Butler
is spread oyer too much and too uneven
ground for the fireman to know where to
start for promptly; particularly on a foggy
night.
—Physical training is engaging the
attention of young women everywhere,
and the New York Sun says the following
is one of the latest and best exercises used
by young women who aspire to a Delsarte
training: Fill a large basin with water
and placo obliquely in it, so
that the ower edge shall rest in
the bottom of the basin and the
upper one lean against the opposite side,
a corrugated piece of wood covered with
*ino. Then take some sort of cloth, souse
in water and rub briskly on the board. A
little soap will lessen the friction and
render the exercise mare gentle.
—On Friday last Mr. il ingel received a
letter, which had been mailed at Myoma,
Wednesday evening, enclosing the key for
the lock of tha tin box, and also another
letter of advice. Two men with a rig ar
rived at Myoma abont 6 o'clock that even
ing, and after a short rest drove on, and as
a rig hired ir<}m a livery hero by a stranger
Wednesday afternoon, was left at Beaver
Falls, Friday, it is supposed that the two
men who swindled Mangel drovo to Beaver
Falls by way of Myoma, '
—Here is some good seasonable advice
from the Jamestown,(Pa.) Sentinel: "Dur
ing the school days parents should be
very careful of how they speak of teachers
before children. If there is any fault to be
found with a teacher by parents, it should
be talked of in private and not in the hearing
of the children. They are wonderful imi
"tators, and if they hear anything of the
kind, they very naturally will do the same
many times, injuring both the teacher and
the pupils most. Teachers, as a rule are
competent, or they would not be employed.
They have a great responsibility on their
shoulders, and patents should do all in
their power to help them, instead of to
hinder. The school year has just begun,
and it would be well to weigh these sub
jects carefully, co-operate with the teach
ers, visit the schools, and encourage both
teachers and pupils in their work. Tho
result will bo good work and better pro
gress.
—The season is now hero when tho trac
tion engine will be on our roads day and
night and it is well to remind owners and
others of tho law governing them on the
roads. "Every engine propolled by steam
must have a man at least 300 yards ahead
of the engine to warn persons riding or
driving upon any public road of tho fact
that the engine is coming, and also to
'assist' in the 'management' of any horse
or horses that may require his assistance to
control. It also requires the engine to run
"as far as practicable to tho side of the
road and to remain stationary until said
horse or horses have passed to a safe
distance, m the meantime making as little
noiso as possible with the steam. Tho
penalty of failing to comply with tho law
is a tine of ton dollars and costs. TUo law
further requires tho man in charge of the
engine to have a printed copy postod on
his engine under fino of ten dollars. —
Vindicator.
—A youug Butler man before he left for
the World's Fair went to a bank and got
some change, including a number of silver
quartern. When he got back he went to
the bank and said .to the teller, "That
change you gave me was all good with
the exception of one silver quarter. I
could uot puss it at all in Chicago, and
whenever I offered it I was looked upon
with suspicion." The teller took the
quarter, applied the usual tests and then
said, "That quarter's good; the only thing
wrong is that it has lost its ring," and he
showed a faint crack in the edge, scarcely
discernable under the milling. Asked to
explain how a coin loses its ring, the
teller said: A coin loses its ring frcrn
being imperfectly stamped. That is, the
die does not strike it squarely. As a con
sequence the edge splits, but you cannot
see the crack because of the milling. It
may ring all right for a time, when thrown
down, but by and by the crack begins to
assert itself, to show that it is thero, so to
speak, and the coin loses its ring and many
refuse to take it, Relieving it to be counter
fit. We often got them, both iu gold and
silver." This is a uew idea. Hereafter do
not condemn a coin as counterfeit until you
are sure of it.

—At 4 o'clock last Friday afternoon,
sixty-throe men on bicycles left Buffalo, X.
Y. with the intention of riding to Pitts
burg, via Erie, Sharon, New Castle and
Beaver Falls; distance 242 miles, in com
petition for prizes offered by the Pittsburg
I'rvsn. A man named Bannister of Youngs
town, O. took tho lead from tho start, and
Paul Cronenwett of Butler, was among the
first frcm the start. Nineteen of tho rid
ers registered at Erie between 10 p. m. and
midnight; sixteen at New Castle towards
noon of noxt day, where several gavo up;
and but eight finished the race. Bannis
ter made his way up Fifth Ave., Pittsbnrg,
and registered at 3:03.30 p. in.; Williams
came in 50 minutes behind him and Paul
Crouenwott at 5:13.50. Bannister made
the distance, 242 miles, in a little less than
24 hours of almost continuous riding, and
Cronenwett ia a little more than 25 hours.
Cronenwett lost his way in the dark, be
tween Buffalo and "Erie, and also broke
his wheel, and had to push it for 13 imiles
to the next town, where he got another
one, and then got a better ono at Erie. By
these accidents he lost over ar. hours time,
and got behind all of the leaders, but ho
made the best time of all between Girard
and Pittsburg, and passed all those remain
ing in the race excepting Bannister and
Williams, who were too far ahead of him.
A strange incident of the race tvas that
Williams went to sleep on his bike, tum
bled off, slept 8 minutes, aud awakened to
find himself on one side of the road and
his tho other. He jumped up and
went on.
Cronenwett arrivedjia I'ittsburg in bet
ter condition physically than any of the
others, slept well that night, came home
next day, and was on duty an Mail Carrier

—The story of the man, the bar tender
and the $10 —$1 bill. The man was a well
dressed, respectable looking fellow, and
when he went into the bar to get a drink
and had with him several companions, all
jovial and hearty. When each had irri
gated his interior with his favorite liquid
tho man threw out a ten dollar bill in pay
ment to the bar tender, who laid it on tho
shelf back of the bar and carefully count
ed out the change which he handed tho
man. Then the party went out into tho
wide, wide world. An hour afterwards,
when the bar tender was closing up shop,
he counted his cash. He was $9 short.
He counted it again, lie was $9 short,
then bo reversed the pile of bilis ho had
and again counted. This time he was all
right. Strange that he should make amis
take twice and come out all right the third
time. He would count again, and he did.
Again he was short $9. But where was
that $lO bill T 110 examined each one care
fully and found the cause of his mystifica
tion. The man had given him a bill which
said $lO on one side and $1 on the other,

and asl bill and pasted half of each to
gether so adroitly that the trick could not
be detected except by the merest chance.
Ho had 99 out of 100 chances to win, and
he must have reaped a harvest. Experts

as clever a piece of work as ever came un

TUH WONDERFUL KELLER, FRIDAY, OCT 13.
As a drawing card there is no attraction
before the public to-day that ranks with
the clever Ki-ller. Aa<l he well deserves
his popularity. He never rests, always
endeavoring to give his patrons something
new, and constantly adding some novel
attraction to his list of wonders. The
latest addition to the mystic marvels given
by this clever conjuror is called "Caglios
tro." It was first produced in Philadelph
ia at Kellers Egyptian Hall and made
such a tremendous hit that the magician
was compelled to ratain it upon the pro
gramme for twenty weeks; it was retired
then in the heinht of its popularity, owing
to the increasing length of his programme.
From all accounts it is one af Keller's
cleaverest productions and must tie seen
to be appreciated, as no pea in description
can lend the charm that this prince of
magicians gives in production.

Thos. A. Edison, tho wizard inventor,
suggests a unixue solution of the money
question. He says why not throw away
gold and silver, take a bushel of wheat,
squeeze the water out of it, compress it in
to a bard cake the size of a silver dollar,
and stamp the Government mark upon it.
That would represent actual value and la
bor performed, and then yon could eat
your dollar, for when you wanted to use
the wheat all that would be necessary
would bo to put your money in soak. We
would then have the bushel of wheat as the
permanent unit of value, and both silver
and gold could be dispensed with.

To Relieve Hard Times.
A clinnce to earn SSOO in the next three
months is something worthy ofeveryboJy's
attention in snch a season as this. The
publishers of Farm Poultry, Boston, Mass.,
the best poultry paper published in the
world makes an offer to our readers afford
ing an opportunity for some one, if active,
to earn that amount or more. If interest
ed send at once to I. S. Johnson & Co., 22'
Custom House St., Bwston, Mass., a one
cent stamp for full particulars regarding
above.
Are you keeping poultry for profit,either
in large or small numbers? No matter if
you keep only a dozen hens; are they pay
ing you a profit over and above their keep
and eggs and poultry used in your family?
If can you explain why" not? For
poultry properly kept pays the best of any
domestic animals. Do you care to learn
how a man of experience does make his
hens pay bettor than $2.50 per year for
each hen, for eggs alone? In short, do
you desire to know how to make money,
with a few hens? If so, for the small sum
of fifty cents you can learn all of the
above and much more by subscribing for
one year to Farm-Poultry, if for no longer

" .lifopi —hiViti"~ this year
I > is of a character en
tirely new to the
city. To briefly mention some of the
prominent feature would occupy consider
able space. Suffice it that three rings, two
elevated stages a huge racing track, and
another stage 400 feet long are required to
show the varied entertainment comprising
this year's show. There are mauageries,
hippodromes, triple circus, horse fair, mys
tifying illusions, and other features, and in
addition the great historical spectacle of
Colambns and the Discovery ol America,
the later alone representing 1,200 charac
ters . all ol whom are on view at one time.
>"o other amusement enterprise carries so
many people and has »uch complete ar
rangements for their keeping. Of course
hundreds of people will bo there to see the
canvas go up, and get a free glimpse of
the elephant as he marches with a majestic
tread from the railwar tracks to the
grounds.
| The;e are many reasons why the exhibi
: bition this year is better than any other
that has preceded it, as the menageiie is
almost entirely new and boasts every
strange and curious zoological Ispecimen,
from the gawky camel to the only genuine
zebra that has ever basked beneath the |
stars and stripes. There is also in the col
lection the largest Bengal tiger evei seen
■n America, and he has been from his na
tive jungle less than seven months. The
cage of lions has three male specimens,
from the face of one of which Sir Alexan
der Pope made his painting, which is now (
on exhibition in the National Gallery of *
Art in London.
Of the circus performance there is also
mach to be said, and its strongest claim is
probably that the performers are all chain- *
pions. Among the artists that have been
brought over are the most dashing and ac- «
complished equestriennes ever seen in this J
country. \
The briliiunt harmony of colors and ar
tistic groupings in "Columbus" w ill cause t
the recur to the minds of the thousauds s
who witness the show pleasant memories
of the greatest triumph ot modern theatri- i
eal representations. When it is known
that I mre Kiralfy has trained the ballet it '
will be known that it is better done than
any other manager in the country conld
have done it There are crowds "of well
trained girls and men, presenting every
t\-pe of beauty, who perform graceful evo
lutions in dances. These are costumes
lhat have the look of the 15th century
about them and which, high authorities
have said, are duplicates of those worn
when Columbus was plcadiug before Fer
dinand and Isabella.
The Barnum & Bailey Show has come to
be one of Amerca's permanent institutions,
and merits more than the smiling reference
called out by the ordinary circus. It is
worthy of serious thought—not only for
itself, but more when one considers what
exceptional ability a man must possess who
controls the entire army of men and women
who give the exhibition.
Signs of the Times.
The leaves in the forests are beginning
to turn yeilow and brown, and to drop off
one by one, presaging the approach of Au
tumn and bringing with it many climatic
changes. It needs a very strong const itu
tion to withstand the sudden shocks of
cold and moisture. Unfortunately there
are very few so gifted, the majority of the
human race need to have their natures
strengthened and stimulated, and there is
no better remedical agent than a pure rye
whisky. Klein's Silver Age Rye has stoo l
the severest tests and has been found to
be absolutely perfect, being recommend
ed and prescribed by the highest medical
authorities. It is for sale by dealers gen
erally, at $1.50 per full quart, Duquesne
Kye at $1.25 per qnart, and Bear Creek
at SI,OO per quart are highly recommend
ed. Send for catalouge of all kinds of

RUPTURE
Cannot always be cured, a
, | properly fitting Truss will do
more toward curing you than any
| thing else. A small rupture is
| more dangerous than a large one
| but is more readily held in place.
Quite a number of persons who]
have been fitted by us have been
entirely cured, but this is not al
ways the case. The sooner we
have them visit us after finding
they are ruptured the more hope
of a complete cure. We make a
specialty of Trusses for both
| ladies and gentlemen, and give di
rections for private measurement
for the former. All cases consid
ered strictly private. Buying
Trusses by mail from some person
who says he can cure you is on a
paralell with the number of cures
there are for consumption. If you
have had trouble in being fitted
elesewhere let us try what we can
do for you.
