The Fourth.
The glorious Fourth was celebrated in
Butler this year in fitting style. The prin
cipal event wa< the unveiling of the mon
ument but other minor outbursts of patri
otism were not wanting.
The parade moved at 2 o'clock and was
witnessed by many thousands of people
who lined all the principal streets The
order of the procession was as follows:
Germania Band,
Chief Marshall Newton Black and staff,
Co. E, 15th Regt.. N. G. P.,
National co'ors of U. V. L., borne by
National Ensign R. S. Nichols, accom
panied by Adj. Gen. Geo. Schaffacr
and aide E. P. Shetter.
I'nion Veteran Legion.
G. A R.
Old Soldiers.
Directors of Monument Association.
County Officials.
Borough Officials
Butler School Board.
Citizens in Carriages.
At the Court House a platform had been
erected where the speakers and guests
were seated. Mr. 0. D. 3wain. of Har
mony, President of the Monument Asso
ciation, called the assemblage to order,
and Rev. John McKee offered a short pray
er -
Pres. Swain, in an eloquent address,
tendered the monument to the people of
Butler county. Among other good things
he said:—
"As we celebrate the birthday ofonr be
loved bountry we also love to relate the
unselfish devotion of those who fought and
died to uphold the Union and sustain
the liberty so dearly bought by the heroism
of our forefathers. Soon after the war
closed the thought of erecting a monument
to the memory of those who gave their
lives in defense of home and of country
was entertained by some of the patriotic
citizens of Butler county, but owing to a
want of organized effort the project failed
to succeed. At different times since other
efforts were made to enlist the interest of
the public in this praiseworthy enterprise
but each was doomed to failure. Col.
Sullivan, that noble patriot who never
tires when t!~e interest of the soldier come
up tor consideration, called a meeting ol
soldiers and citizens to meet Sept. 15th,
1892, at Butler to make one more deter
mined effort in behalf of the long-neglect
ed monument. At this meeting the pres
ent board of directors was appointed. In
order to give this board the proper author
ity an application was made and the court
granted a charter incorporating the board
as the 'Butler Ceunty Monument Associa
tion.' The board felt the necessity of com
bined action and vigorous work.
At a meeting held in December, 1893,
collections had so far advanced that it was
deemed safe to advertise for bids and the
presentation of designs. The contract was
awarded to Campbell <t Horrigan and the
result ol their labor stands before you to
day. Let me say that in raising this shaft
we awaken a deeper interest in the mind
of the young of this country in their
country's welfare and its free institutions,
and as they pass under the shadow of the
monument they will he strengthened in
their respect and devotion for the flag and
all that it represents, and as they grow to
manhood and womanhood they will up
hold its principle, perpetuate its glory and
hand it down to future generations more
bright and more glorious as the centuries
grow old."
Mr. Swain then formally tendered the
monument to the people and Miss Nora
Cratty unveiled the work of art amid the
applause of the assemblage.
The address of the day was then deliver
ed by Capt. George W. Fleeger. He made
a most excellent and instructive speech
and we hope to publish it in full next
week.
At the conclusion of the address Alex.
Russell, Esq. read a dedicatory ode writ
ten by Leander M. Wise, of lowa, from
which we take the following:
And now to-day; 'neath Heaven's blue
dome.
O'ershadowed by the Almighty hand,
We rear this shaft in memory of
Those gallant saviors of onr land,
Who for the right gave up their lives,
In sanguinary sacrifice;
Nor stopped to couut the awful cost
Of battles won or battles lost;
Bat plowing in the crimson tide
Of battle strife, they bled and died;
They fell as fall the harvest sheaves,
They fell as fall the forest leaves,
Nipped by untimely frost.
They fell throughout the sunny South.
From rolling sea to sea,
In death they found a gory bed.
On every lield of strife made red
By deeds of chivalry.
On mountain top, on hill or plain,
By brook and river, lake and rill,
And by the roaring main,
O'er ail that historic ground,
Our fathers in their prime.
Laid down their lives in freedoms
cause,
In old colonial times.
0, Liberty! by all that's dear,
By all the rtiemories we revere,
By hearth and home free,
By all the prayers and all the tears
Shed through those long and bloody
years,
By the remembrance of our slain,
By all the joys that love imparts,
By all that's sacred to our parts,
We dedicate this shaft to thee.
In memory of onr soldiers slain,
In many a bloody battle plain,
Who fought in freedom's holy cause.
And died to vindicate her laws,
0, silent dead! 0, sacred dust!
This monument reveres
The memory of your valiant deeds*
The hope of coming years.

Regarding costs, a recent decision by
the Court of Armstrong Co., closes as fol
lows. "The act of 1887 was intended to
remedy the hardships of that of 1860. It
changed the position of the county from
that ol ultimate guarantor liable only alter
all the proper legal remedies had been
used against the party on whom the costs
had been imposed to that of liability in the
first instance, and charged it with the duty
of using all the legal means of collection
from the proper party to reimburse itself
The act provides that the county shall be
liable at once on the termination of the
prosecution by the bill of indictment being
ignored by the grand jury or by a verdict
of a traverse jury and sentence of the
court therein."
The court concludes: "In this case wh
have a verdict of guilty, a motion for a
new trial heard and refused, and a
suspension of sentence.'' The court held
that this was an end of the case, and that
the county was at once liable.

Two Games.
Two games of ball were played on the

was the pitching of O'Brien and Johnston's

was improved and good fielding plays
were not wanting O'Brieu struck out 19

2627(Hi
A Handsome Drugstore.
We were shown, the other day, through
Mr. Jos L Wnller's Drugstore which has
recently been completely remodelled.
The new front with handsome plate glass
windows of large size attracts the atten
tion on entering The windows were
i beautifully arranged, though with the
greatest simplicity. On the left was a
j collection of sponges, and it made a
i unique and vety pretty display On the
j right toilet soaps and accessaries were
numerous and attractive. Above hung
the familiar globes of colored liquid, with
lights behind, but these globes were "f
ui-usual size aud of an elegant patc-ru.
They were suspended from fi«av'\ t>r*.»-
tirackets
I tVe found, on entering, the h tiuNo.n •-
; Drugstore 111 the SUte Not lhat we h tVe
seen all the handsome stores ••! that ord»r
in Pennsylvania, but we kivw that neither
Pittsburg n«T Philadelphia has a drug
store as ileally and finely furnished and
titled
As we enter, mirrors everywhere A
beauty to the right, its counterpart to the
lelt to the front another just as large and
just as finely bordered with polished in i
hi'gany: wi'h just the same ornament of
stained tflass and electric Hell's playing
through its different colors. On all sides
counters, cases, drawers and cabinets of
solid mahogany lurnished iu the most ele
gant manner and with fine carvings pro
fusely present On the right i* the soda
water fountain—the largest and finest in
the town. It stands on a base of Mexican
Oo\x and above rises a large plate glass
inirr- r with wood work finished in wb'te
and gold There are two draught tubes
for soda water, and one each for Vichy,
Congress, Ginger Ale, and Star Spring.
There are eighteen syrup draughts. A
handsome little bar of marble with the
usual fountain stands in front of the Foun
tain, which is certainly a thing of beauty
and a joy forever.
Running back from the fountain is a
counter with cases above, filled with drug
gists supplies. The glass is heavy bevel
ed plate and the wood is all mahogany.
Back of this is found cabinets or shelves
with bottles of the different colored liquids
and liquors we find >o indispen-ible when
sick or indisposed. That tired feeling
should quickly vanish before this array
Below ir well fitted and finished drawers
with oxidized silver handles are kept the
roots, herbs, etc., etc.
In the rear of the room is a partition
« hich contains the mirror alluded to be
fore The partition is of panelled mahog
any and is replete with carved lancy fig
ures and beads The other side of the
store is arranged in much the same inau
ner except opposite 'he Fountain where
a large case is seem containing trusses
etc. aud, behind glass doors, is a pretty
' lot of sponges of different colors and tex
tures
The store is owned by M. Jos. L Wul
ler and is managed by Dr. J. F. McClaraa.
Mr. McClaran came to Butler Irom Pitts
burg last Fall and has been in the busi
ness 14 years. He holds a certificate from
the State Board and is a reliable man.
Mr. Jos. L Wuller is well known as a
member of a family of druggists
While averse to much publicity. Mr.
Wuller gave us a few interesting tacts
about bis store. The wood work was fin
ished in Boston by C H. Bangs and was
placed in position by special men sent
here by the firm. The Fountain was
made by the firm of J. W. Tufts A Co.
Altogether the cost of fitting up has been
between $5,000 and SIO,OOO.
The Parlor Pharmacy, as it has been
named, will be open day and night and
will make a speciality of toilet accessories
and perfumes, though in all drug requi
sites it will be found among the van.
NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES.

The farmers in some of the neighboring
counties report that a new pest has made
its appearance in the wheat, rye and oat
fields of that section. It is of a species of
vermin which is designated as the green
louse, which is of the color of the cereal,
and requires the sharpest eye of the clos
est observer to distinguish it.

MR. A. J. MCCANDLKSS:
On the 2nd day of April, 1892, I com
menced to use your new cure for one of
my horses that had the heaves very bad,
and continued to use the medicine for
about forty days and the horse did not
show any signs of a return of them. It is
now about a year siuce I quit givin the
mud \c'\ue and the horse has never sowed
any signs of heaves, and I feel stiafied
that he is properly cured.

I have used your Heave Cure and found
it will do the work if used according to di
rections. Youre truly,
