Evans City was the scene of a terrible accident last Thursday aftercoon, wbi.h resulted in tbe death of Mrs. Alfred Cook son of Cranberry twp. and her son. aged thirteen years. Cookson and her * n came driving into town by the n aJ. in a sleigh. She ,<>T gome freight cars mo ving on the railroad track and stopped her horse, then the track seeming clear she drove >m, but it happened that the car - -the sa *" pass were part of a freight train being 8 a itched upon one track, while the balance of tho train kept on moving backwards upon another. These cars she did not sje on account of a freight car standing r.n a switch and the train truck them just as the sleigh was in the middle of the track. and she was thrown upon the track and instantly Killed, and her sou's legs were thrown across one rail and crushed, and he died a few hcurs after. The bodies were taken to an undertak ers, and an inquest was held by Coroner Graham and a jury of six; tbe verdict being tnat Airs. Cookson and her <n caine to their deaths by beine run over by the ours of the P. & W. R. R. at the crossing by ihe backing of a freight train without proper warning. Mrs. Cookson was an estimable woman, a daughter of John Gearing, of Cranberry twp. Her husband became temporarily insane when he learned of her sad death, and worse results were feared when be learned of his son's death. Some days ago Mr. Jacob Albert of (Jniouvitle bought some ar.-enic.with which to kill rats. He put it in the cupboard, and on Saturday last Mrs.Albert Used it by mistake for soda or baking powder in mak ing some cakes. The children ate ol the caKee that evening, and became violently ill, and vomiteu freely. Then a physician Wits called, who prescribed fur theui ana "ttiey will all recover—but it was a close call. When people are poisoned by ar-etiic tbe thing to do is to drink freely ol milk, and swallow raw egtfs, as both liiitK <*uu eggs absorb ihe poison; and then an emetic should follow to get it all out of the stomach. Mustard,nati-wutcr. alum-wale, or lamp oil will make a person vomit, and the sooner they are used in such cases the better. Mrs. John Glass of M illerstown wa» nearly suffocated by the fumes of burning gas a few days ago. Personal.

Ajf.ao FUia-i | RUPTURE 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 lage 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 nave had trouble in being fitted elescwhere let us try what we can do lor you. C. N. BOYD, Pharmacist, Diamond Block, Butler, Pa. JMIE BCTLKR OOUHTY NATIONAL BANK, Ht.TLFR.IFA.

There is a clique of advertisers wbo are continually fooling the people. They have tooled them ODce too often with a pretense to give something for nothing. You may fool some of the people all the time—and all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time. In looking over the advertisement* in the papers nowaday, I find I have lost my laurels. Now I will tell you the truth. Yon will see hundreds of ench baits fluag out for Buckers to bite at, such as, "We can save you 25 |er cent by trading with us," aud some even no so far as to say 50 per cent. Men's fine suits worth $25.00 for only $9 99 Pants worth $8 00 only $3 99, Bankrupt Sales, Sheriff 8»les, Assignees Sale, Ac. Now we ask yon can didly. Can these concerns doing business at fabulous expense, sacrifice profits as a great many advertise to do f Are they as liberal as they propose to be ? We answer no. The enormous sums required to meet current ex penses must be met by liberal and in most cases by heavy margins. Profitß they must have and trade tbey must get or sink in the whirlpool they have created by their own bands There is no alternative, get the profit and get the trade, but how ? In no other war than working on the weak minds of the people by flaming adveitisements. They boldly and shamelessly claim to actually give the aear people $3 00 in value for one invested. Such un principled actions are becoming not only ilresome, but positively dangerous to the welfare and interest of the buying public. On careful inspection you will find these $25.00 suits reduced to only $9 99 are dear at eight dollars. I saw an ad stating men's fine worsted suits reduced from SIO.OO to $6..00 I called to see them aud found our $3.75 cotton suit. When we offer you a suit for SIO.OO that is all it is worth or ever was worth Wo just give you one dollar's worth of goods for 100 cents You want to see our immense stock of overcoats and suits for men, boys and children. Hats and caps in endless variety, shirts, collars and cuffs, and ties, any and every style to suit even the most fastidious; under wear, hosiery, overalls, jackets, gloves, mittens, umbrellas, suspenders, in fact anything in the furnishing line; also a fine line of ladies and gents gold and silver watches, chains, charms, pins, rings, collar and cuff buttons, scarf pins, initial pins, all at the very lowest cash prices. All we ask is an in npection of our goods and prices bef ire purchasing. We have always done you good and feel confident we can do so again. To those who have been trading with us, we tender our most heaitfelt thanks, and to those wbo never have, we would say, try us once and you will never regret :t. Ve„ Respectfully .
