Our Water Supply.
Council held a special meeting on Wed
nesday of last week at which the com
mittee appointed lo investigate the water
question reported as follows:
Ist. That we examined the Butler
Water Company's reservoir and find it
in a dirty, filthy condition with but a
few feet of dirty, stinking, filthy water
therein, wholy unfit for use aud insuf
ficient in quantity to supply the people
of said borough, and that said water
company have in a manner no supply of
water for fire protection, and in the op
inion of your committee have not had for
months, but violated their contract with
the boroueh in this regard and have been
rendering bills for such protection with
out furnishing said water protection, and
the pretense of said water company to be
furni-hing such water supply is in our
opinion a fraud upon the tax payers of
this borough.
2nd. We further report that said
Water Company has not and is not now
furnishing water for flushing sewers as
per contract and there is not sufficient
pressure, and that part of the time water
is shut off altogether from sewers as well
as consumers, and also that the quality of
the water is such that it is scarcely fit to
flush the sewers with.
3rd. We also examined the creek
from which said company gets its wat. r
supplv and find it in u dirty, filthy con
dition with not sufficient water therein
to supply the towu nad its people.
The creek" bottom is for several miles
above the place where said company gets
its water, muddy, swampy and in warm
weather and during low water wholly an
unfit place to pump water from for domes
tic use.
4th. We also find the place where
said company pumps its from to
be a hole in the'ground a few fee? from
the Connoquenes-ing creek walled up
with stone into which the water runs
from the creek, which hole is filled up
several feet with mud, filth and dirt,
and t ere seems to be no measures tak
en to clean the same other than when it
accumlates aud when there is sufficient
water to thin it the pumps would keep
lifting it with the water and conveying
it into the reservoir thence through its
mains and pipes to the consumers. We
are also of the opinion that the borough
of Butler and the people therein are pair
ing at least one-half too much for water
Irom said company, and that the borouuh
of Butler should no longer pay said com
pany the full contract price, but should
either declare the contract broken on
part of said company, or requiro it to
refund and return the money drawn by
it for the time it has failed to furnish
water for fire protection and sewer pur
poses.
sth. We also report that the Butler
Water Company is incorporated under
the act of the 29th of April, 1874, P. L
page 852, and we are of opinion that
said company has so acted in violation
of its charter and the laws of this Com
monwealth that it has forfeited its ex
clusive rights under its cUsrtor, and the
borough should take such steps as it may
deem most expedient to supply water at
least for flushing sewers and fire protec
tion.
6th. That said company certainly has
violated its charter to such an extent
that a proceeding in quo warranto, if
properly instituted and prosocuted, would
be one remedy to wind up said company
and forfeit its francuiss to the Slate, a?
it certainly has earned and divided at least
eight per cent in dividends among its
stockholders for five years or at least
should have done so.
7th. In the opinion of your commit
tee the borough should not permit itself
to be robbed in tlii* manner; neither
shonld its citizens. That under the law
the people as well as the borough have
the risiht to go into court and hare the
court lix the rate and price ol water.
Bth. This company under its charter
is bound to furnish at all times a suffi
cient supply of pure water, which it is
not now doing and never has done so
in our opinion. We therefore recom
mend that the citizen* be consulted and
that proper papers with proofs be pre
pared for instituting quo warranto pro
ceedings to forfeit said franchise and
charter to tne State, and that their return
be examined and investigated, and that
all necessary steps be taken to forfeit said
franchise, and in the meantime that a
potition be prepared for the people using
said water to sign to the court to fix tho
price lor the same pending farther pro
ceedings.
The report was acceptod after some dis
cussion, and council adjourned, having set
the following Tuesday for a special meet
ing of council and interested citizens to
consider what action shonld be taken.
The special maetiug of Council, Tuesday
night, was well attended by councilman
and citizens. Tbe room* of council were
fonud too small and adjournment was
made to Senaca llall. when an enthusiastic
and determined body of men took action
on this most vital question.
After the reading of the report above
given, Walter L. Graham suggested that
pure water in abundant quantity could bo
found within 3 miles of Batler. lie refer
red to the Thompson property east of town,
where he said the water was pure and
cold.
R. P. Scott, who has given the matter
much study, thought pare water in suf
ficient quantity could uot be found nearer
than the Allegheny river. He thought
a line to Emlenton, 28 miles distant,
would provide a solution of the whole
question. Had prepared papers last year
for fighting company but let things go on,
the Water Company promising to reduce
rates. It was said the Company had taken
a half million dollars out ol the town since
its incorporation.
A. G. Williams then took the floor, and
moved that the citizens assembled adopt
the report as read. It was also moved and
carried that a suitable petition to Caurt be
presented to the citizens for signature,
beginning with those present. The peti
tion was read and should be signed by all
of Butler's tax payers. It will be present
ed to Court on Monday by City Solicitor
Forquer.
Clarence Walker wanted every man
present to pledge himself to stay in the
light until the company is wiped out of
existence. He told of an Indiana town of
4,000 inhabitants which has a pUnt con
sisting of drilled wells aud pumping appa
ratus, where the water is pure, cold and
abundant for every purpose, ineludiig firo
protection, and where .although ihoir rates
are considered high by themselves and
others, they pay only two-thirds as much
for water as we do. Mr. Walker said that
the Water Company had taken water from
the creek and shortened the supply of the
Standard Plate Glass Co. He thought the
citizens should do sometbiug in this mat
ter.
R. P. Soott objected to the citizens
fathering the troubles of the Glass Com
pany.
H. A. Tilton, of the Standard Plate
Glass Co., then spoke on the importance
to the town of the Glass CO. and thought
the people should make a fight for it also.
Robert Fowser, a member of tho Board
of Health, then told of the report of tbe
member of the State Board who was here
last summer. He said there was no ar
rangement whatsoever for flushing and
cleaning tho mains of the Water Co.
W. A. Forquer said the town had a con
tract with the Water Co. for fire protection
at $367 per quarter. He thought there
were two means of relief. One was to in
stitute quo warranto proceedings against
the company.- This would, if successfully
carried through, annul their charter, but
it would take time. The second way is to
petition Court to adjust the rates, and en
join the Water Co. to furnish a sufficient
quantity of pure water. The following at
tornies were then selected to assist Mr.
Forquer: R. P. Scott,2 Clarence Wnlker,
S. F. Bowser, T. C. Campbell and A. G.
Williams. The meeting then adjourned
sine die.

Why Klinglers Do The Business.
Flour, grain and feed is our legitimate
line. We d« no', follow these lines as a
sort ot side issue to our regular business.
We are first hands. We are man
ufacturers. Therefore, we can furnish
gootls and can make prices which can not
be duplicated. Our
SEPTEMBER PRICK LIST
will be out in a few days. It will contain
some eye openers We propose to show
in it where we out-distance all would-be
rivals.
OLD AND NEW OATS
will come in for a share of your attention
Our prices will surprise yon We will sell
at the prices other dealers buy See for
yourself. Besides, we will gelt you oats
that &re all recleaned All the oats that
are unloaded at our Elevator are refanned,
and the dust and dirt are ail taken our.
Some feeders tell us that this is worth
several cents per bushel When you bay
oats ot Klinglers. you pay for and get oats. I
but when you buy theui elsewheie you pay
for and all the dust and dirt which get in
to the oats in course of threshing and
handling A word to the wise is sufficient
—SEE OCE OATS AND OAT PRICES.
FEED ! FEED ! !
Who does the Feed trade? When all
others are out, where can you still get
Feed by the hundred, by the ton and by
the car loadf Of course at Klinglers
Everybody on the street can give you that
information. We are making prices on
Feed that are bringing the trade to Butler
from al l directions, and then oar Feed is
Feed. We manufacture it ouMelyes. It
is a good reliable article. No mix--d up
stuff like the Western Feed which comes
into this market. Would you believe it?
We have ground every bushel of new
wheat which farmers have delivered to our
Mills and Elevator into Chop. That's why
our Wheat Chop is Wheat Chop and gives
such general satisfaction. Look at the
price and then get some of our
WITEAT CHOP.
Now is the. time to buy salt. The de
mand is incteasing daily We have a Salt
that will answer your every purpose. It
is a pure Salt Not only that, it is a fine
Salt, suitable for family use and dairy pur
poses. Best of all, it sells at the price of
poor, common, course Salt. Do you re
cognize it ? It is the
WISFIELD NO. 1 DAIRY SALT.
Supply yourself before it is all gone.
When our present stock is sold there will
be no more Dairy Salt at onr remarkably
low price. This i • your last opporlnnity to
bay this Sait cheap.
FLOUR, FLOCR.
Who sells the Flour? Just look around
and notice if you can't see more Snow
Drift Sacks than you do of all the other
brands combined. Ever since the last
Butler Fair when Snow Drift Bread won
such admiration, has Snow Drift Floor
enjoyed a boom The boom is up higher
uow than ever. We sold more iu the
last week than we generally sell in two
weekt>. Everybody, it seems,is after Snow
Drift. Now, remember, we won't disap
point you with it. To avoid any possible
trouble which new wheat is sure to give,
we are grinding only strictly old wheat.
We have said nothing about
SILVER FOAM FLOUR
recently This flour has no equal at any
price. We challenge any flour made any
where to equal it in all the points necessa
ry to make psrfocc bread aud pastries. Wj
have testimonials !rom the largest cities ot
the United States as to the merits of this
flour, and they all unite in one expression
—"there is no flour like Silver Foam.''
Right here in Butlor there are families who
have not had any other flour in their homes
for years and who wonld wait weeks iu or
der to get it.
Iu addition to the superior quality of our
flours, and also of our feed, grain, etc., our
prices will astonish you. Yes, they will
captivate you. Everybody likes to buy at
rock-botto'm. We will tell you how to do
it. Get one of our "cards." Then you will
get in on the ground floor. Go to Head
quarters, and if you will do that you will
gO to KLIXGLKRB.

The Siege Of Vicksburg In Pittsburg.
Cheap rates and special trains to Pitts
burg for 'he big fireworks production "The
Siege of Vicksburg" to be produced near
the Jentrance of Schenley Park, just off
Forbes St , Pittsburg, Sept. 1, 3, 6, 8, 10,
11, 12, 13, 14, and 15. Thousands of per
sons will visit Pittsburg during the Grand
Army Reunion, and thousands of people
are expected to go on there to see this, the
greatest of all pyrotechnic spectacles.
The cost of those colossal exhibitions av
erage nearly $2,000 nightly, aud words
fail to describo the grandenr and historical
importance of the undertaking. Over 10,-
000 square yards of beautiful scenery are
used to picture with accurateness the
famous town of Vicksburg It is a history
written in flames and sounded in powder.
The admission including good seat has
been set at 50 cents; while the reserved
seats are 75 cents, and box seats $1
It is the most realistic war spectacle that
it has been Pittsburg's pleasure to see. It
is almost terrifying in its vividness. All
the realism of war is there, and in the
lierce bombardment, the desperate charges
repulses and rallies, the blowing up of
mines, the hand to hand combats, the
fierce gallop of artillery, it reproducts
intense excitement, the frenzy and the
horror of war also. You can get a more
truthful and vivid idea of a battle from the
thrilling hour which sees the storming and
capture of Vicksburg, than iu a lifetime
spent in reading the most graphic psa
pictures ever written.
