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.

—Tne Popourat tells bis girl she is worth

"Tnere is as inujh difference between

—Halt the people of Butler visited the

—Tbe Treasurer ot the Butler School
Board received bat $7,155:43, from tho

—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 !

gma hed at Larkin «fc Co's shop, !a--1

While picking apples last Friday. Xick

One of the most remarkable accidents
that has ever happened in Butler occmred
last Satnrday evening. Al. Morrison, who
lives on Thorn Creek, and who had been
doing s.,me shopping in Butler that day
tarted home about 7 o'clock. The street
from the Campbell residences down t > the
Lridgo is steep and at that titno it was
muddy and slippery. Morrison must
have gone down on a trot, and pulled to
the right to avoid a rig euerging from the
bridge, for hi- horse went right on, over
the board-walk, through the railing across
the offset from the board-walk to the

Two men wore killed and five persons
injured, three seriously, by an explosion
oi 1,800 pounds of nitro-glycerine, Mon
day morning at the Acme Dynamite com
pany's works, near Hulton, Pa. Tho dead
are: Janes La Dree, chiel mixer and
Jo.»eph Ku>sie, engineer. The injured
were: James Singholder. Robert Sing
holder, Emma Johnston, two unknown
boy>. Tho injured were all employes en
gaged at aork in another department, 3'JO
feet away from the scene of the explosion,
which wan iu the mixing department.
The cause of the explosion is not known,
but it is supposed that La Dree and Kussie
were thawing glyce'iae Tno building
was completely demolished and the bodies
•if (he two men were mangled beyond re
cognition. The loss was about $.">,000.
Windows were shattered and houses
shaken for a distanca ol more than a mile.
Several months ago the remains of a
young man killed by a Lake Shore train
near Duukirk were identified as those of
Samuel a machinist of Erie.
The body was brought to Erio and the
parents buried the remains in the family
burial lot. The identification was com
plete because of the inarKs on tho face,
together with clothes, jewelry and other
corroboratijg circumstances. On Friday
ia»t the real and original Samuel Lehman
walked in upon his parents. The surpris •
came nearly causing tho young man's
mother's death. Lehman had been on a
tour of the country aud had carelessly cut,
himself off from communication with his
friends, and had heard nothing of his sup
posed death.

Strange to say, tnongn her clothes were
torn, she was uninjured excopt by briar
scratches. 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. It i.j a trait of the bears in
that vicinity that they never harm little
children.

Your self interest
when rightly considered, never
fails to put you in the way of
gain, that is, to decide whether
doing this or that will pay
best, whether buying there or
here will get you the nice choice
Dry Goods at the least prices.
You'd naturally expect us to say
this was the best store to buy at,
but when we gather together such
large collections of
FINE DRESS GOODS,
SILKS and cold weather wraps
as you'll find here this 1896, and
submit them all to your self inter
est for consideration, and only ex
pect your business when you're
satisfied you'll actually, save
money by buying here, you'll soon
be convinced that there's an un
usual earnestness about merchan
dising at this store that's bound
to interest you, that business is
sought not by talk, argument or
big store statistics, but by the
fairest test, as concerns your self
interest, that's possible, and
what's more, we're not seeking it
that way in vain, as the business
doing here now and the goods and
prices with which we're after more,
will abundantly prove.
And now, this Dry Goods buy
ing time of the year, there's not a
tiling in this store but what it's to
your personal concern to find out
about and test as to advantage at
the prices.
HUNDREDS OF STYLES
American dress goods 15c to 45c a

ens at sf>c, 75c, 85c, SI.OO than we ever

inches. Samples of any of these, or of
new Black Goods or Silks, sent free if
you ask. The new Catalogue is ready,
goes free also, will tell about the
WINTER WRAPS.
Hardly i« v_luU of gaiu.t.'iit Tor lauies,
Misses or childrens but what's here, the
best of the kind to be had, and all
bought well and sold at fair small profit
prices that are convincing.

Why He Figures
it takes figuring just at this time
to make both ends meet, and now
winter is almost here and you
must be prepared for bad weather.
You Must Have Good Footwear
you want to buy it cheap, not too
cheap for at this time of the year
it tnusv be good. We can't praise
our fall stock too highly for never
before have we been in shape to
offer high grade footwear at such
low prices as we are now.
