It is vouchsafed to but few of ns to break down the barrier between the seen and unseen world, and do before an audience in a brilliantly lighted room those feats of the marvelous which were in old times associated with d irkness and mystery, it not crime itself, and which have com manded the interest and fascinated the imagination of men, women and children, alike from the earliest times. Kellar, easily tbe first of modern magicians, is to appear on tbe 13th day of October fresh from a long and triumphant summer season in Daly's New York Theatre, and with the same performance and company which then and there won such hearty praises from the critical audiences. Con- I spicuous among the features which he will introduce here for the first time are to be these marvels of the :irt of the modern magician: "Flyto, "Astarte, the Maid of tbe Moon," who dances upon nothing; "Out of Sight, or the Phantom Bride:" "Cagliostro, or the Ca.-sadega Propaganda;" "Karmos,"in which Mrs. Kellar assists him in an absolutely unapproachable exhi bition of thought transmission; his own Davenport seance, which has never been equalled; his slight-of-hand tricks which are absolutely new, and last and most wouderful of all—as may well infer from its name—"Oh,"' in which without advan tageou aid Kellar causes a living, breath ing human being to disappear in a flash and lo vanish into thin air under the van eyes of the audience, and that too on a brilliantly lighted stage. ROBERT DOWRtSO —TUESDAY, OCT. 17th. Robert Downing, the American traged ian is one of the successful actors who maintain in private lite a popularity as emdearing as the esteem in whicn they are held as actors. In his own home, Wash ington, D.C., he is tho recipent of unusunl social honars, and throughout the country he has already taken a warm place in the hearts of those who are brought in contact with stage folks once occupied by John McCullough. Mr Downing is a gentleman of refined nature, scholary tastes, and has withal an innate amiability and compan lonableness ot temperment which attract to him the choice spirits of the Bohemian world—artists, writers, and professional men of education. In this connection ic is worthy of note that Mr. Browning is dis tinctively a man of the people. Llis career upon the stage has been t very vucceesful ono. He bos accumulate a handsome fortune from h'u business, which must be tuken as an evidence that the people ap preciate him and that the si- uard drama has not deteriorated. Mr. Browning is a inafi very domestic in his tastes and habits He has an interesting family, and one of the most beautiful country places on the hills overlooking the Potomac, surround ing the Capital of the nation. His wife, know to the stage as Eugenie Blair, is a handsome and attractive woman, highly cultivated, a southern girl by birth, and is an actress of extraordinary ability. She has supported somo of the best tragedians in America. Mr. Downing's play in Butler will be the Gladiator, in which he has been the most succes>ful since John McCullough. To Relieve Hard Times.

NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES. Owing to the low price of wheat, several ' persons in Berks county who can afford j the outlay of money have put up ware ' houses for the storage ot grain, which they : are buying up at the prevailing price, ex- I peeling an advance liter. Instances have J come to light where farmers have stored i up and have stUl on hand the wheat crops | of '9l, '92 and '93. i A carious incident transpired some time since at Harrisburg, in connection with ! the renewal of the charter of the Indiana i Deposit Bank, of Indiana, in which Judge ! Harry "White is largely interested. Among J the different departments which have to approve the extension of a bank charter is I the auditor general's. When Judge White | presented his application to Auditor Gen eral Gregg, that official caused an examin ation of the records of the department to lie made, and found that the second in stalluient or bonus, which was due almost nineteen years, had nsfer been paid. Be fore General Gregg would approve the ap plication. this amount, with interest for nearly nineteen years—about S4O0 —had to bt iiuiu Uii.o Luc stale Treasury by Judge White. A wonderful spring is said to have been discovered in the mountains about three miles from Conneilsville, I'ayette county. The effect of the water when drank is to make one act as though under the influence of liquor, except that instead of being quarrelsome and in a fighting humor, one feels happy and inclined to laugh, sing and dance. A sportsman found a crowd of hilarious Hungarians about the wonderful spring. They let him drink of the waters, but swore him to secrecy as to its loca tion. Another death from eatihg toadstools in mistake for mushrooms is reported. This time it is W. A. Van Brunt, ticket agent of the P. A X. R.

Albert George, a restaurant keeper of Kittanning, fired his revolver to trighten some young men who were rolling empt/ oyster tubs against the door of his place. One of the shots struck Ralph Crum in the back and he nearlv bled to deatn. James Goss, of Punx*utawney, has a dog that does not expire for acy slight or in sufficient causes. One day about three weeks ago this canine, whose name is Bob, was run over by a locomotive and appar ently killed. He was crushed and broken almost beyond recognition. Life, however was not extinct, for the automatic action of the sensory ganglia commonly called "breathing" was still kept up. But the dog's friends pittied him, and believing that ho conld not live, resolved to put him out of his misery. Two executioners were accordingly appointed, who took Bob to the fair grounds, and shot him full of holes. Th'jn they started home, but they had gone only a short distance when one of them happened to look around, and to their in tense surprise, Bob was jogging along after them. Having used all their car tridges, a club was procured and poor Bob's head was boatenjinto a jelly. He was dead this time, sure. And they left him there alone and went their way. Two days later, however. Bob turned up again, and there was great rejoicing in the house hold. lie is living still and doing well, and it would take a good deal of money to buy that dog. Th-> skeleton of an unknown man was four;.. ,n the woods near Sharpsburg, Mon day. F .%*wall J.

Some dealers sold their custom ers Winlield Xo. 1 Dairy Salt, and when the salt barrel was opened, it proved to be only common Pittsburg salt. For once and for all, let us tell yon that Klinglers have the exclusive control ot Winlield No. 1 Dairy Salt, made by the Konph Kun Manufacturing Company. So if you want the finest table and deiry salt ever brought to Butler, yon can get it nowhere else than at Klinglers. One barrel is worth two of any other salt sold in Butler. Many ol" the best families have bought a barrel for familiy use. because it is superior to any table salt sold in bags. If you have "a card" a barrel costs you no more than a barrel of coarse common salt. Don't take our word for it, but investigate. Yon will be surprised. BUCKWHEAT KLOCR FOR THK MILLIONS Wo still continue to .-ell our absolutely pure, unexcelled Buckwheat Flour, made of new grain, as follows: sack ...2S cents 244 pound sack 56 cents 100 pounds $2.25 We have been running our mills night and day since the season opened, and have not yet caught up with our orders. Onr Buckwheat Flour has already gone into ten states. If yon want the best Buck wheat Flour made, go to Klingler9 and get "a card," and then pay wholesale prices only. Some Butler dealers still continue to fell their trade that Klinglers' Buck wheat is mixed, etc. Sow we wish to re mind everybody that we effer a stand ing REWARD OF 1000 DOLLARS if any one can show that we have adulter ated any of our Hour. No one can make SI,OOO easier, if we adulterate. Xow's your chance to act. If you can't prove what you say yonr argument is worthies?, SNOWDRIFT FLOCR was just as much misrepresented by some dealers, and to-day it has superseded every oth< r flour. It is the favorite flour of the entire community. One day last week we were unable to meet the extra ordinary demand. Some consumers took iia high 40 i-barrel sacks, thinking, no doubt, that flour would soon be higher We delivered to one small family 1,000 pounds of assorted articles, Flour, Feed, Salt, etc. The "card'' has won the day. It has re moved the prejudice against a flour uie merit of which was not known to the con sumers of Butler. We have put the price where the dealer can not reach it. We will sell you at wholesale, or at th>• j>riee the dealer pays, just as soon as you get "a card." We are gathering data to show yon soon, how the people are being humbugged on the flour question. Look out for our ad vertisement. In the meantime don't neglect to ,; «ET A CARD AND SAVE YOFR MONEY." KLINGLERS. —The central figure of the new novel, "Tanis, the Sang-Digger," by Amelie Hives, is another of those strange, high etrnng and passionate females that the author is so fond of representing as hero ines, and after a reader has followed Tunis through her love adventures, the verdict must be that this low-born and wretched "poor white," this long-limbed, handsome digger of ginseng root, is a creature of intense facination and remarkable charact eristics. Tunis is a big, fresh and lusty young savage of the Virginia moutnains, with the figure of a goddest, which when we first meet her is screened from the breezes and the gaze of man by a single garment. Iler long hair sweeps about her like a veil, and she roams the woods in the wild and vigorous manner of the antelope. She is beloved by a young giant of her own class, a mammoth brute, possessing a splendid physical beauty, and " who exerj cises an almost inresistable spell over her. Her battle against tbo passion and tyranny of this man is the motive ol the story. She knows him for a haertless be trayer of girls, and the one shining quality of her character is her virtue, which sus tains her at all times, which teaches her to despise the character of men liko him. and to demand from a lover deep respect and constancy as well as passion. The big brute that worships her is mentally and morally unable to comprehend this part of Tunis' nature, and wo find them opposed to each other in a most savage and interesting battle. Sam, the reckless lover is bound to gain full control of Tanis without going into any argument over the matter, while Tunis, although on fire with love for him, sees him in all his weakness and wickedness, and knows that if he gets her he will love her for a day and a night and afterward loathe her. And it is only by a wretched scheme on the part of .S'a in that Tanis is driven into marrying him. She becomes a martyr to save the friends that have been kind to her, and at the end she bows to fate and yiolds herself np to Sam, because she is powerless to fight him longer. The story is told in the sharp, aggressive and often dazzling stvle peculiar to Miss Hives. She describes the scenes in which her characters move with her customery poetic facility, and probably the most dramatic dialogue that she has ever written is that which passes between her hero and heroine in this book. A large element of the public will not accept Miss Hives as representative of that which is healthy *nd excellent in litcra ure, but the number is small that will argue against her ability to attract "and hold tho attention by" inventing strong characters and putting them through an absorbing series of emotions aud adven tures. "Tanis, tho Sang-Digger'' will surely bo regarded with interest by the reading public. Town Topics Publishing Company, 21 West 23d street, New York. Cloth, $1.50.

RUPTURE Cannot always be cured, but a I 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.
