THE SIGN OF
THE FOUR.<
4*4*4*4*4*4*4*4*4*4*4*4*4*
Here is a combination of
words that will be sure to ar
rest your attention. It is only
the title of a most interesting
story by
Dr. ft. 60NAN DOYLE
Everybody has heard of the
famous SHERLOCK HOLMES
STORIES, and
THE SIGN
OF THE FOUR
4*4*4*4*4*4*4*4*4* 4*4*4*4'
Is without doubt the best of
the series.
...THE OPENING INSTALLMENT...
Is given in another column.
Read it 1 The story is even
better than the title.
LOCAL AND GENERAL.
—There's a demand for soft hats.
—The new woman is Yery often old.
—The best oranges now oome from Cali
fornia.
—Tommy's pop—Well, my boy, what
are yon going to give up during LentT
Tommy—Skate.
—The Prohibitionists will have a conven
tion in Meadville on Thursday the 21st
inst.
—We begin this week, the publication
of one of Conan Doyle's stories, entitled
"The Sign of Four," and our readers will
find in both interesting and instructive.
—lf you are hankering for strawberries,
and must have strawberries at any price,
your desire can be gratified in New York,
■where the berries are selling at 25 cents
each.
—At the late election both A.R.Thomp
son and Al. Meehling, of West Snnbury,
were elected Justice* of the Peace. There
were two vacancies and Thompson and
Meehling were elected to succeed them"
selves.
—The entertainment given by the W.
0 T. U. orowded the D. P. church Tues
day evening, and was a very eojoyable
one. All the participants acquitted them
selves handsomely. Mrs. C. D. Greenlee
was awarded the medal for best essay on
temperance.
—At the meeting of Council Monday
evening, the new members, H. A. Tilton
A. A. Irvine, Jos. Manny, B. Kemper and
J. A Grobman, were swom in. George
Stamm was re-elected President; Solicitor
Forquer was continued at S3OO, a year;
Cle'k Conlter at $230, a year; and Treas
nrer Lawall at one per cent.
—J. S. AJ. P. Young, the tailors and
furnishers, have opened their establish
ment at corner of Main and Jefferson Sts.
opposite Lowry House, with a full stock
of foreign aud domestic goods, and a line
of gent's furnishing goods of celebrated
make They have engaged Mr. G. Wilde
Lloyd, late of Punxsutawncy, as cutter,
and guarantee satisfaction in evorj partic
ular.
—There is a bill before the Legi*lature
which is going to hurt some of the smaller
oolleges in this State if it becomes a 1 aw.
It provides that only colleges and institu
tions of learning with an endowment fund
of $500,000 or more shall be empowered to
confer degrees. We doubt very much if
there are two oolleges in the State outside
of Philadelphia that have an endowment
fund of $500,000 or more, BO that if this
bill passes, old-established institutions of
learning from which it is an honor to re
ceive a degree will be robbed of the privi
lege of conlering that honor upon their
graduates.
—Of all the schemes for the betterment
of oar common school that passed by the
Senate last week, and now in the House
takes the belt. It proposes to oompel
every school board in the State to purchase
a panorama on card board for the purpose
of acquainting the pupils of the public
schools with the beauties of art and nature
and science. In other words, it is propos
ed to teaob art, nature and science with
photographs. This fad, if adopted, is like
ly to prove a very costly one. Tlio worst
of it is '.hat unless school boards introduce
this scheme of instruction they will forfeit
the State appropriation. This is a good
bill to kill. School boards need their mon
ey for other things now, such as building
new houses to accommodate the rapidly
inocreasing array of scholars, arid illusiou
ary fads should not be forced upon them.
Piotures are for the kintergarten sohools,
whore the little ones get their first ideas
of eduWtftftf.
March came in like a lamb, you know.
And it gave its tail a toss;
But still, you see, it'll likely be
A lamb with blizzard sauce.
—When a girl turns her best young man
down, she usually turns the gas up.
—lf there is anything new regarding the
Brady's Bend railway project we have not
beard of it.
—The snow drifts in Clearfield twp. are
holding out in great shape, the Constable
ot -that iwp. reports all roads running Xorth
and South impassible on account of drifts.
—The musical and literary entertainment
given by the students of Butler High
School, in the M. E. church last Thursday
evening was well attended, and was
good all through.
—Mrs Mountford's illustrated lectures
on life in and near Jerusalem, delighted all
the women and most of the men. Her de
scription of the customs and habits of the
people there, explain many expressions
atid sayings in the Bible which are mis
interpreted and misunderstood.
—Cyrus Campbell of Parker twp. will
have a sale of personal property, stock,
grain, household effects, etc. See bills
posted. He intends moving to Peddler's
Run, Monongalia Co. West Virginia,
where the South Penn Oil Co. of which he
is an employee, has developed an oil fieH
a mile or so wide and about twenty five
miles long.
—The ice gorge at Ford City below Kit
tanning moved out last Sunday and for a
while the river channel was a surging,
heaving, grinding mass of ice, a sight wit
nessed by everybody who conld get to the
river. The ice broke away to within a
a mile of the town: but from Kittaning t<.
near Parker, a distance of 35 miles, tb>
river remains one unbroken pack of ice,
and rivermen say that twenty feet of water
will be needed to start it.
—A Philadelphia paper tells of an old
woman who was known to have amassed
considerable wealth, but who refused to
intrust it to any bank. Where she kept
her money was a mystery, until she came
to die a few days ago. Then a thorough
search was made ol the premises without
disclosing the hiding place. Finally, when
the body was being prepared for burial, a
porous plaster on the old woman's side wa
noticed, which did not lie as closa to the
skin as such plasters generally do. When
the plaster was removed a number of gov
ernment bonds, representing the old wo
man's entire fortune, were found between
it and the skin.
—People who began clipping the cou
pons from the Pittsburg limes last Friday,
must remember to send them in by next
Thursday, the 14th, or else the first one
will not count. The votes must go in- every
two weeks;and, as we said before, if any
Butler Co. teacher intends making an ef
fort for the trip, he or she, must organize
county immediately. The prize is a big
one, and will not easily be secured.
About 280 copies of the paper
come into Butler, and perhaps 1,000 in all
into the connty, daily; there will be 92 is
sues from March Ito June 15th; so you
see that about 00,000 coupons will come in
to this county and it will take them all
and probably as many more to insure a win
ner. Since writing the above we under
stand that the teachers ol Butler have set
tled upon Miss Annie Cummiugs as their
candidate.
f —lt is saul that no class of people sulfur
more wiih rheumatism than the farmers,
aud jet the remedy for this dread disease
is, or should be, right at hand. If celery
were eaten mure freely sufferers from
rheumatism would be comparatively few. It
is a mistaken idea that cold and damp pro
duce the disease; they simply develop it
When celery is eaten largely an alkaline
blood is the result, and where this exists
there can neither rheumatism nor gout. It
should not only be eaten raw, but cooked.
Cut it into small pieces and boil till soft
in as little water as possible Add to this
a little rich milk, thicken slightly with
flour and season with butter, pepper and
salt. The tender leaves and small ends of
the stalk, which are usually thrown away,
should be used for soups; cut fine and use
for vegetable soup, or dry the large leaves
orumble them to powder and use for sea
oning other soups. And no part of the
oelery may be wasted.
—Circumstances have very little to do
with human happiness. We labor under
the impression that if we could have our
own way and create our own environment
we should be continuously contented, but
the impression bus no basis in fact. In
deed, the plainest of all truths —if we
think seriously on Uie subject—is that we
are independent of everything except our
own Bonis, [t the soul is bright and
cheery, a single geranium on the window
sill will give us pleasure, whereas to the
soul that has formed the habit of fault
finding a whole conservatory can fnrnish
no enjoyment. In the last analysis, there
fore, neither wealth or poverty has very
mnch to do with your happiness or misery,
because the source of both lies in yourself
There are people who would not be satis
fied it they were seated next to the Throne
in heaven, and there are others who have
that within them which would make even
a corner in purgatory comfortable.

ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS.
That, a man is known was amply veri
fied here last month on .the occasion
of the visit to Butler of Levin, the
Optician of Pittsburg, who examines
eyes free of charge. The record of
the gentleman has evidently preced
ed him for he found it next to impos
fcible to attend to half those who call
ed. Mr. Levin makes no charge for
examination and advice, and in case
he cannot help you he will tell you
so at once In this respect as in
many others he differs from most
Opticians, as be will not touch a case
for any consideration that he does
no; feel morally certain that be can
help. Mr. Levin was so taken with
the reception that be received on his
last visit that be ha-- determined to
visit Butler again on Thursday and
Friday, March 14th and 15th on
which dates he will be at the Lowry
House, as before Mr Leyin has
made the eye his special study and
can refer to any number of well known
people in Butler and vicinity whom
he has benefited. Numerous com
plaints such as Nausea, Shooting
trains in tbe bead, Vertigo, Violent
Headaches, Drowsiness after eating,
aud many others which are generally
attributed to some remote cause are
directly tracable to the eyes If you
are troubled in any way with your
head you may rest assured that the
eyes are the cause Remember the
dates Thursday and Friday, March
14th aud 15tb, aud also the fact that
there is no charge for examination
and advice, aud in ease you cannot
be beueftted Mr Levin will tell you
so at once. The clerk at the Lowry
House will direct you.

the best scbool-bo>k for vour children
