Suicide of W. E. Reed.
■Worry over financial troubles canned
Wilson E. Reed to take his own life, Wed
i nesday evening.
He ate a hearty supper, then went up

evening, and Council meeting Tuesday,
and, as usual, took an active part at both
places.
He was to meet bi.< partners in bnsiness,
Charley Boyle and Joseph Colestock, at

probable that tbe failure of their last well
is what made him desperate as, we under
stand, he bad given his notes for his in
terest, and the propo.-ed meeting was for
the purpose of arranging regarding them.
He was a member of <>uc or more socie
ties in which he was insured: and he also
carried some policies in tbe regular com
panies. His total insurance, we under
stand. will aggrefrat-j a large sum.
Wilson E. Reed was born in or about
Harrisville; he was a member of the "fa
mous "Roundhead" regiment during the
war; bejeame to Butler abont 15 years ago,
has been engaged in the oil producing
business, and was considered by his neigh
bors to be a respectable and responsible
citizen.

Burning of the Bottle Works.
i j The building surrounding the twelve
- | pot farnace of the buttle factory war: de
stroked by fire Saturday night. Tht
watchman at the works discovered the fire
• sometime after 10 o'clock and tried to ex
i | tinguish it. and failing to do so gave the
• alarm. The wind was blowing stiffly and
j the fire spread over the buildiDg almost in
j stantly. and it seemed bat a short time
I' after the alarm was given until the roof
was falling in. Great clonds of burning
embers rose from the fire and set fire to a
haystack half a mile away.
The hose and hook and ladder companies
responded promptly to the alarms, and did
good work in saving the adjoining build
ings.
The building wa~ iusured for {'2,500, and
the contents for ?1.500, all in outside com
panies. This will be paid promptly, through
the McJnnkin agency, and it will go far
towards repairing the damages; but quite
a number of teen will be temporarily
thrown out of work.
The new building over the the S-pot
furnace was not injured, and work will
probably be tesumed in it.
The unplersi-t feature of this lire was
the fact that there was no pressure on the
water pipes; and though there were plenty
of plugs on the grounds and in the vicinity
the streams from the|| nozzles fell short.
The firemen did remarkably well in saving
the adjoining buildings under the circum
stances.
SOMETHING ABOUT SALT.
Do vou have salt that gets damp—so wet
that water is constantly running from the
barrel, and when you have used about two
thirds of it the balance is so wet and lime
smeary that it is unfit f.ir anything—in
salting your meats do you find that it gets
slimy—looks tike lime mortar and unless
you wa.-h olf this so called salt, and salt
and resalt, your meat is spoiled* Xow to
overcome all this you need and must have
A. pure salt and this you can have if you
buy the —
STAR BRAND.
Made by the United Sta'.es Salt Company.
The extreme purity of this salt is proven
by the fact that it does not gather mois
ture and always remains froc and dry and
every pound can be jsed.
TUB PRICE IS 85 CK.VTS PER BARREL.
If you n*ed a barrel of salt come to onr
store and see for yourself—Remember
what we say—This salt is absolutely pure
and just as clean and white as granulated
sugar —

Oil Notes.
The oil fields are being very closely
i- watched at preoent. The rise in the mar
e ket and its continued firmness for th«
9 greater part of last week has caused «
- goo J many operators to begin to casi
? , around for new fields to conquer. Ther«
I ' are not a few who stand ready to invest ir
new diggiugs that will hold oat any en
s couragement for producing walls, no wat
r ter it very small affairs.
The average oil operator is as restless a*
, a hen with a large brood ot little chieks
when the market begins to move np. lie
jsgoiug to drill if he can find a place to
.-ink a hole, and just now conducting
a sort of still hunt, but it is a very earnest
oie, and it would nol be surprising if ha
should be suecesslul. Ordinarily, the
wildcatter who discovers the new pools is
the one who secures a lease and peddles
jt out and winds up by retaining an eighth
and more frequently a sixteenth. At pres
ent, however, many of the larger compa
nies are taking a hand at drilling test wells
■n the hope of finding some new territory
that will bring some lair returns. Some o)
thern have been holdiug leases and paving
rcaui on iargo blocks of territory for sev
eral years, or since the depression of the
market. The old fields having been drill
ed over and having an accumulation of junk
that can be ';« ed, they will test the terri
tory they Lave been holding and if iound
worthless -top the outlay of rental.
The new fourth sand discovery near
Bridgeville is the leading attraction in the
southwest, and has beau to the exclu
sion of all others for the past two weeks.
The well when drilled in two weeks ago
started at 500 barrels a day or better. The
latest gauges place its daily production at
little more than 200 barrels. Standing
alone as it does, it would naturally have
been expected to hold up much better than
it is showing. Past experience has made
a good many operators very skeptical of
fourth sand territory, but as one expressed
it, the other day: "It doe.u't matter much
what sand we find it in, so we get the oil."
The Butler county operator has been
quite active all through the long depres
sion, bat just us* hj does not show his
accustomed energy. That old reliable
county is about due with a new third sand
or hundred-foot pool, if it expects to keep
up with the procession.
Howard Thompson, Patterson <t Tait
Pat Golden, C. I). Greenlee and a number
of others, are trying their luck in the Hos
ier fields. There is quite a diversity ol
opinion AS to the inducements held out
by the western fields to the eastern opera
tor, but the one most trequeatly presented
is that it don't cost much to drill a dry
hole. To use the strictly orthodox ex
pression, "It don't cost much to play, and
the limit is low."— Derrick.
Phillips completed a well on the Camp
bell heirs in Penn twp., last Saturday,
which started ofl at 80 bbls. from eight
feet of sand and is expected to do better
when drilled deeper. He is drilling on the
Martin and other larrna in that vacinity,
and the Campbell heirs are drilling on a
piece of their farm that they reserved.
Charley Johnson completed his well on
the widow Byerly farm,east of Millers town
last week, and has a rank duster.
Perrine <fc Co. got another good well on
the Samuel Shira farm in Washington twp.
last Monday.

RUPTURE
1 Cannot always be cured, but a
properly fitting Truss will do
, more toward curing you than any
thing else. A small rupture is
more dangerous than a large one
j 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. AI! cases consid
ered strictly private. Buying
Trusses by mail from some person
who says he can cure you is o« 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.
