at some points in the west, it was hotter.
At Kansas City the mercury registered 98
last Thursday, at St. Joseph, Mo. 100, in
the shade; at Sioux City 107; at Omaha
106, eto. The intense heat scorched the
crops, and caused prairie and forest fires.
—One of the weapons nsed by the Chi
nese in war, is the "stink pot." It is ar
earthen vessel containing sulphur and
fonl.smelling substances. It is very ef
fective against wooden ships. An improv
ed form of this missile is likely to be intro

proof cuirass comes into general nse.

—To clean lamp chimneys rub them

will also be less liable to crack.
—James Williams, who cultivates a
small fruit farm a short distance south of
Mercer, picked one hundred bashels of
raspberries on a patch of five acres, at one
picking. This is better than raiding wheat
or corn.
—The business man who brings people
to Butler to trade is, in one sense, a pub
lic benefactor. He is thereby doing some
thing towards bringing about better times.
"It is the nimble penny that brings the
profit," and the man who persistently acts
upon that theory is sure to win success in
the end. Such men are the salt of the
community in which they reside and do
business. Butler has a fair representation
of them.
—Another counterfeit $2 United States
silver certificate has turned up. The
spurious bill is of the series of 1891, with
a portrait of William Windom, aud a
small scalloped seal. The note appears
to have been printed from a wood-cut
plate. The Treasury numbers are heavier
than the genuine, poorly formed, and are
green instead of blue. The seal is brick
red instead of pink, and the color shows
on the back ot the note. The portrait
of Windom is very poor, having a distort
ed appearance. The note is altogether
bad.
—lt is not generally known that the
nickel-in-the-slot machine, though to us
moderns a new idea, was in reality in use
before the Christian era. Yet more than
two thousand years ago, in the country of
the Nile, temples were provided with ves
sels from which perfumed water would
run when a coin was dropped through an
opening or slot. They were described by
Hero, of Alexandria, who lived about
117-81 B. C., in his "Pneuinatios," from
which we quote: "When the ooin was
dropped through jbe slit it fell on one end
of a balanced, horizontal lever, which be
ing depressed, opened a valve, suspended
by a chain at the other end, and the water
began to flow. When tho lever was de
pressed to a certain angle the coin fell off,
and the lever being weighted, returned to
its seat and cul off the supply.
—Patrick Flynn, a well known broom
manufacturer, resi.liug near Marriottsville,
Maryland, vouches for a novel way of get
ting rid of the destructive English spar
rows, which had been accustomed to de
vour his broom corn seed, and destroy
his patches of barley, which grow so lux
uriantly on his farm along the Patapsco
bottoms. He had been informed that the
pests had a strong propensity for alcoholic
tastes, so he procured a gallon of whiskey,
in which he soaked a peck of wheat. He
scattered the wheat aboat in the field
where the birds were in the habit of feed
ing and soon hundreds of them were eager
ly feasting on the favored food. In a
short time the sparrows began to show
signs of hilarity by jumping and fighting,
and in a few minutes soores had tumbled
over on the ground in a drunken stupor.
Mr. Flynn says that he and a neighbor
picked up over a hundred birds, and took
home a number sufficient to make pot-pie
for dinner. While some of the birds would
recover, if undisturbed, most of them
wonld be killed outright from the affects
of the strong liqnid. He did not, however,
allow many of them the chance of regain
ing consciousness.
—"lt is a great wonder to me," said
the "Old Salt," "that more people do
not take what I oonsider to be the pleas
antest outing that man ever indulged in
—a oruise among the islands of the Soath
Pacific ocean. There are more types of
humanity, more interesting and singular
things, to be seen, more enjoyment to be
found, and more to be learned in such a
trip than you can get in a year's travel
anywhere else. How do you get there!
Easy enongh. Go to San Franoisco aud
get on one of the schooners in the coast
trade. The cost ol passage will be very
small, and very often the captain is will
ing to take a passenger along for oompany,
provided 'he passenger will bay his own
provisions. The trip lasts about three
months, and the plaoes visited are simply
paradisaical spots on earth—or rather in
the ocean. The coasting schooners take
out goods to trade with the natives and in
return take back all sorts of native pro
ducts, fruit, nuts, feathers, aud all sorts of
things cn which a prefit can be turned
and you may be sure the profit i< not
small. It is the trip of a man's li! t ime>
safe and healthy, unattended by a r article
of danger. I have been tnroug it and
know what I am saying. Juit think of
going to San Francisco, takiig a cruise
through the South Pacific and seeing the
wonderful islands, and comiDg back home
at the end of three months, all for about
S2OO. Why, it's a dream."
We have seen a number of watch chains
ornamented with a pretty charm in the
shape of a watob case opener, which obvi
ates the ase of a knife or fingernail to
open the watch. They are sent .free on
reqnest by the Keystone Watch Case Com
pany, of Philadelphia, Pa. Your jeweler
here may have one for you; if not, send to
Philadelphia.
The Keystone Watch Case Company is
the largest concern of its kind in the
world. Its capacity is 2,500 watch cases
per day. It manufactures every descrip
tion of case, but its great specialty is that
most popular of all watch cases, the Jas.
Boss gold filled. These are equal in
beauty and wear to solid gold—while they
cost only about one-half as much. Boss
and other Keystone cares are the only
cases that have the lamous Non-pull-out
bow or ring, which saves the watch from
theft and accident. The Keystone Com
pany does not retail, bat our local jewelers
handle the cases and swear by the thief
proof qualities of the ring.

The Grove City Strike.
There is probably trouble at Grove City
to-day. The following was sent from there
yesterday: Evictions at Filer, SutlifF &
Co.'s mines will begin to-morrow. The
whistle was blown at the mines this even
ing as a signal for work to begin in the

will not return, and it is not known what
this sudden move by the operators means.
Rumors are afloat that negroes are to be
imported, and to-night great crowds of
miners are gathering at every train. The
operators have posted trespass notices on
their grounds and deputies have been
sworn in.

In the Pittsburg exchange wheat is
quoted at 52 to 54, and in the Chicago mar
ket at 50cts. per bushel of 60 lbs.
"Wheat at the present prices," says a
Chicago paper, "means that, according to
his distance from market and the quality ot
his grain, the western farmer may receive
from less than 30 up to barely 45 cents per
bushel. At these "prices wheat on the
farm or near it is much cheaper than corn
or oats for the feeding of live stock."

No man ever came to Butler who

hundred per cent better, has got
more benefit in one week from Veno's
Remedies than he has in 5 years by
any other Medicine. He can now raise
his arms and take off his hat for tbe
first in 3 years and improving every
day.
Mrs S. Rapp of Wbitestown has
been helpless for one year, not able to
raise his arms or use her hands After
one weeks treatment with Veno's
Curative Syrup and Electric Fluid

arms quite well. The Veno Rem

A BAD BREAK.
Klinglerß lower on Flour. Oats and Chop.
Wheat is down. Then why not tlourT
That's what we think, and suiting the
action to the word, have to day reduced
all our brands of flour
TWBSTT CENTS PER BARREL.
Usually the consumer does not get the
benefit ot a decline in wheat, tbe dealer
absorbing that as extra profit. Not »o
with us. We are not speculating with the
wants of the^breail-winner.
Flour was never so cheap in the history
of Butler. Deduct 20 cents per barrel
from our former low prices of KLIN'.LBRS
EXTRA, ORIENTAL, SNOW DRIKT, PATENT
FANCY AND SILVER FOAM, and you will
wonder how we can sell at such figures
and still have a profit left. We will ac
knowledge the profit is very small. But
this is not a time for big margins. It is
infinitely belter to keep our mills running,
even if we barely make expenses, as to
shut down, throw our men out of employ
ment, close Butler as a pram market and
make hard times still harder.
In v'ew of this fact we have also con
cluded to continue our
SNOW DRIFT PREMIUMS.
That is to say, we have made a reduct
ion of 20 cents per barrel on Snow Drift
Flour, and in addition will give the pre
miums we offered before we made this de
cline in price. We ask. where can you
buy pure, high grade, family flour at our
prices, and besides receive the followiug
premiums:
WITH 1 sack-2 pound packago Oranello.
2 sacks-5 pound package Gracello.
Fancy Yellow Corn Meal.
4 Whole Wheat Flour
ssacks-24i fancy Yellow Corn Meal.
6 sackf-24J Snow Drift Flour.
10 sacks-1 sack Snow Drift Flo«r.
Other Flours will not secure you any
premiums. You may take your choice,
if you buy more than one sack.
Remember we are not offering you
Flour made out of new wheat, which will
run all over fie kitchen and yields any
thing but good bread. We have not ground
a kernel of new wheat and will not for
months to come. Our flours are all war
ranted made out of OLD WHEAT. The
good house-keeper knows the difference
between new and old wheat flour. Now's
YOUR CHANCE TO BUY THE BEST AT BOT
TOM PRICES.
Everybody ktows that Klingler took the
wind out of the Oats boom in Butler. Yes,
we are really selling OATS 20 CBNTS PER
BUSHEL CHEAPER to-day than some Butler
dealers sold them during the Chicago riots.
Our stock of NEW AND OLD OATS is now
complete. In fact, we have the finest lot
of Oats ever brought into this county. Our
old Oats are old Oats. They were bought
and loaded before new Oats were in the
market, and their arrival has been delayed
by the late R. R. strike.
WHEAT CHOP, RYE CHOP AND GLUTEN
FEED.
have the call now. With corn advancing
there is no chopped Fe°J which is as cheap
as any of these. For a while our supply
was exhausted, but now we can fill orders.
If you want a substitute for Oats, or some
thing to mix with them, here we have it
for you. Gluten Feed goes well dry with
Oats. You can cut down your feed bill by
using any ol the above-named feeds.
Make Ite test for yourself.

case of heaves in horses in forty days, il
used according to directions, and if it does
not do what I claim for it, I will refund
the amount paid and no charges will be

A. J. MCCANDLESS,
Butler, Pa., 1893.
MA. A. J. MCCANDLESS:
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 since I quit givin the
med\c\ne and the horse has never sowed
any signs of heaves, and I feel stisfied
that he is properly cured.
W. C. CRISWBLL,

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

Did it ever occur to you tnat there are

positively bad if it is'nt just of the best.
Our policy has always been to have noth
