Administrator.' and Executor* of estates c*u secure their receipt books at the CiT xis office LOCAL AND GENERAL. The Unsealed Return. The attention of all election boards in the county is called to the fact that the law requires tliern to send two returns to the Prothonotary of the County—one seale<l for use by the Court, anil one unsealed for general inspection. We hope that all the boards will not forget this —the un sea'ed return—as it is from them that the newspaper men aecure their news of the election. hen a boy meets a body, On the way to vote, And a body hands a body A two dollar note. And that body, like a body Full of scurvy tricks, Votes the other ticket, why, That is politics. "—Ex. Pious girU only play on upright pianos. —Tailors say knickerbockers are boun.: to come. —T Tuxedo coat will bo much worn this w '.er. 'j;-. aro UoOd as a substitute for Ui.-pin. —Special train from Allegheny Satur day night, at 12. —Telephone companies don't believe that silence is golden. —Tne Popourat tells bis girl she is worth 16 times her weight in silver. —Tbe humorous sido of a banana peel is the side some other fellow steps on. —Tbe shade trees are now lurnisbing lots of excerci'e with rake ana broom. A woman feels surest that smoking is hurting her husband's health right after she has cleaned her lace curtains. The height J( economy is reached when a wouiau puts her wedding gown away thinking she may use it for a second marri gt. "Tnere is as inujh difference between a politician aa.l a statesman, says the Philosopher, ' as there is between a sueak thief ana a btnk looter." —Halt the people of Butler visited the scene ot the accident Sunday alternjon. That bridge should be made widei. There iB nothing to prevent the recurrence of this accident. —Tbe Treasurer ot the Butler School Board received bat $7,155:43, from tho State this year, though the enrollment of oTJr sobools is larger than last year when our check was for $9,036:58. —The Atlantis Club will receive the re turns on ibe night of election by private wire, at their clnb rooms, S. Main St. A limited number of the 'riends of the club have been invited. —We are pleased to note thi»t some of oar citizens are repairing their dilapidated sidewalks. A worn out walk is dangerous at night. A plank walk is the best of walks in Winter timo if it is kept in re pair. Supreme Court oi Pennsylvania has decided recently that a stockholder in a water, gas or electric company, that has a contract with a city or borough for the products of his company, cannot hold a position in the Councils ol such city or borough. —The largest and handsomest sign in town is that of the BUTLER BUSINESS COLLEGE, just erected over the windows of the col lege rooms on Main St. It is 50 feet long by about three feet in height, and was built of Cheny that has been in stock in Batler for 20 years. The letters were cut ont of the same wood, are raised abont an inch and are painted in silver white, while the background is sand black. It is a very large and attractive sign, and is indicative of the prosperity of one of the beat institu tions in Butler. —A visitor who has just returned from Canton, says he walked up to the residonce of Major McKinley to see it it was true that all the glass in the yard had been tramped out of existence, and he found it oorrect. He says if an animal that could live a yoar on a single blade of grass was turned into that yard to hint an existence it wonld die of starvation. The lawn in front of Mr. McKinley's residence was at one time one of tho handsomest in the oity, bat not oniy has it been destroyed bat shrubbery and fence has been torn away and carried off by relic hunters. —Penna. lovers who hie themselves to Jamestown or other points across the York State border, in ordor to obtain the ceremony whweby theii two hearts may beat their way through life as one, will be interested to learn that anew law went into effect in th>,t State on the Ist of Oct ober. It requires that the marriage no tices shall be filed with city or town olerk, who shall enter on a book kept for that purpose the nama of oach party, place of residence, time an~ place of marriage, and name and official station ol the person signing the crtificate. This service re quires a 25 cont fee. —The effort to show that tho Licycle is immoral revives the proposition that im morality is the result ol bad persons rathei than bad vehicles or bad anything else. There are bad church members; wherefore should we abolish the church f There is immorality in some schools; must we therefore abolish education T And thero are wimen who ache for notoriety; must we therefore banish from the road all modest women who use the wheel for pleasure or exercise!—' Thero is a tendency in opposing some new things to raise the ory of immorality. To the puro all things are pure.—lmmorality comes from tho heart, not from using any of the good gifts of nature, art or invention. —Young men who prepose practicine throwing a ball all winter in the bam shall heed the warning of an eminent phy •ioian regarding the "Oat Carve." He says th»> the effort to put (hat particular twist on the ball strains the poctoralist major and the coraco-brach (a small at tachment of the muscular process operat ing the acapnia or shoulder blade, in giv ing the arm the wide swing this curve re quires), the infraspinatus (muscles lying beneath the thorny protrusions of the lat ter bono and affected by a necessary twist of the full ;srm) and the ulnir (muscla which operates the under and larger of the two bones of the forearm) in its special application to this effective delivery. So don't do it. Confine yourself to the in curvo and the drop. A little work, a little play To keep u.< going—and so good day ; A little warmth, a little light Of loves bestowing—and so good night ! A little fan to m**<!h the sorrow Of ea< h day's growing—and sogooi mor row ! A little trust that 7ri,«n we die We reap our sowing !Aud so good-bye ! LEGAI. NEWS. NOTES.

The men were taking Molina away when a UOO-pound bear dashed out from the underbrush. After a desperate struggle the beast was killed with axes. Fritz Vanseer's right arm was terribly lacer ated by the animal's teeth and claws, and they may have to amputate it. Mrs. Ursler was almost insane when the child was returned.
