State Teachers' Association.
The State Teachors' Association which
wet at Bloomsburg State Normal School
on Tuesday of last week was one of the
most successful in the histnrv of our state
conventions, although tho local enrollment
was not up to the average.
Gov. Hastings addressed the assembly
on Wodnesday evening,speaking of schools
and of school legislation.
Dr. D. J. Waller, Principal ot Indiana
State Normal School was chosen to preside
over the convention to be held at Xew
Castle next summer.
A woven souvenir, "The School Ma'am
Abroad," was probably the most interest
ing of the mementos received by t*ie visi
tor?, and the mountain excursion up the
Fishing Creek R. R. was participated m
by about four hundred visitors.
With few excisions (aside form those
engaged in summer school work) the rep
resentative school men of the State were
at the convention.
The State Xormal School, How to Im
prove Teachers already in the Profession,
aud The Teaching of Primary Reading,
were the most interesting and saggestive
subjects discussed by the convention.
Butler county ought to be well represen
ted at the meeting in New Castle next sum
mer for as iron doth sharpen iron so doth
oje I etcher the tcoi'enneo another.
These conventions surely combine both
p leisure and profit.

physician came In in Mi rcersburg eight
miles distant, bat his skill was of no avail,
both children one aged 6 and the other 3
dying within a short time and no hopes
are entertained for the recovery of the

snakes escaped into the cellar of the bouse.
Harry .Adams, of Sugar Grove Mercer

who was charged with a mnrder and rob
bery which was commited in Kansas some

and in order to efCape Ihe detective le
jumped into the lake and swam under the
docks, and e< the detective did not see

urday by taking a largo (iose of laudanum
She took the poison about midnight, but
her husband did not send lor a physician
until after dinner next day thinking that
her long sleep was caused by some whisky
she had taken during the night. When
the physician arrived she was past recovery
and she died at 4:30 that afternoon.
It seems that »he 'audanuin bottle was
handed her by her husband, who believed
she was when she said she wanted

One man was stationed picket on tho side
walk in front of the hotel. They poured
some powder down a hole they drilled
through the top of the safe and blew the

'«i .
Many of the bjildings for the great in
•r .iu-to-.- at Zelienople are now under roof
h an I itluiost ready for the machinery equip
uieijr. b.ll there are no homes to live IU.
The Zelienople Extension Company was
1- anxions to make some practical, eye con
ir vincing showing of wha' would be the
actual industrial magnitude ot the new
is town that it permitted all its- energies to
is go in this one direction «o the extent that
«t the first public sale of lots for dwellings
J c'id not take place till July lotb. There
y fore the building of homes has been thrown
A so much backward that there will not be
it residences sufficient to house a very small
1. proportion ot the workmen who will find j
3 employ meet in the new town's manufac
is tories earlv iu autumn. To rush the
ie planting of dwelling*, another big sale will
h be held on Saturday, July 25th, when the
a. lots will be sold at auction. Every lot
put np will go to the highest bidder, no
r matter "That the bid.
re Lots will bo delivered on the most liber
»- al easy payment terms—you may pay just
ie aoout a;- you please pro\ ided you will
build.
io So. the man or woman who is enterpris
-51 ing—who scrutinizes for facts; evidence
:o H-JO opportunities to put in a dollar and
d turn out two, three, lour or five—will, on
e July 25th, have such a chance a* ha- never
:e been recorded in real estate annals,
•e The Pittsburg A Westeru railroad will
3. continue .selling excar.-ion ronnd-trip
ie tickets from Allegheny, Foxburg, Xew
je Castle and all intermediate points, good
id going on all trains during present month,
at the usual late one way. Trains stop at
the Pitti-burgA We-tern's handsome new
depot, in the n<>w town, the station in the
old town having been abandoned.
Visitors a r e amazed at the grandeur ol
tin- scenery which clothes the new town in
natural beauty. Butler county and West
< iii Pennsylvania does not contain a more
healthful or pleasant spot for home life.
Living is cheap, and everything is being
planned with a view to metropolitan im
ptovements. The streets are level, the
drainage perfect and there are sanitary
provisions in accord with every fancy
which is the outgrowth of modern civiliza
tion. All the lots are 40x120 feet, and in
the rear are 20-foot alleys. Zeigler, the
main street, is IH> leet wide, while the
other thoroughfares are CO feet. Xo in
dustrial town was even built upon a safer
foundation. Xo location was ever secured
where homes could be built in the midst
of such picturesque surroundings. No
lavd company has ever put lots upon the
market at such piiccs and on such terms
an ruled for the 101 sites which have thus
far b;'en sold iu the new /Celienople, and,
during tho balance of thn month this great
sacrilice in lot selling will be continued
with bnt one object in view—to net the
people to buy lots quitkly and put dwel
lings on them so that 700 workmen (which
means about 3,000 people) may have some
place to eat, sleep and enjoy the blessings
ol a life of prosperity in a section more
suited for it than any anywhere
