The interest taken by the Japanese government in the production of oil is shown by sending agents, to this conn try to investigate One of them Mr. Ki Takano Kagaoka was in Butler last week, the guest of the Oil \\ ell Supply Co. Everybody is invited and urged to attend the Alumni address to be de livered by Prof. Thomas in the Park Theatre, Friday evening, and every Alunmis o£ Butler's schools should 1* out for the annual celebration. We are in receipt of an invitation to the commencement exercises of tin class of It? of Lima College, Lima. ' 1 to be held June 16. Miss Gertmde A feiebert, daughter oi Wm Sieb»-rt, o f W. Wayne St., is a member of the graduating class. —The "slickest gas range in Butler is now on exhibition in O Brien & Sou - Store-room on Jefferson street. It cooks, bakes, broils, heats water, etc.—seven or eight different thing- all with sepa rate burners. And the price is from *lO to <3O lower than some ol tiie fancy gas-ranges now in use. —A serious case is rejM.rted from Mar ion twp. A worthless fellow named Worst is said to have struck his wife last Sunday and she is reported to have died yesterday. Her maiden name was Barber, and her first husband's name was Rosenberry. —The contract for N. McKean St. calls for a 30-foot street from Jefferson to North, and 24-foot from North to Fulton; but Sim Nixon wants the foot width extended to the alley below his house, and the matter was referred to the Paving Committee with power to act. - A false alarm of lire in the Opera House last Sunday niglit. while Rev. Ferguson was talking, very nearly caused a atampede. The house was crowded and a stampede would proba bly have resulted in some fatalities. Some side exits would perhaps be a good improvement to the Opera House. —The large "hundred pound" railK will soon be placed on the old P. S. & L. E., now part of the P. B. & L. E. and the rails at present in nse on the main line will be placed on the Milliards Branch, which is badly in need of new rails. A stormy sea can hardly be any rougher riding than the Hilliard tfranch at present.

Mathers and Korn stopped the bunco game i n the side show that night, and arrested one man and attempted to arrest another but the circus men j'athtred around and relet.sed him. County supervisors should be advis ed and instructed to scrape all roads in their respective townships at least thriv times a year spring, summer and au tumn, particularly the latter time, then roll down the surface of I fie road after each scraping by heavy rollers. This will protect the road bed at all times and give with a,very littTrexpen.se, just wiiat we want. -Good Roads. —Here is a good suggestion from ft Memphis newspaper that ought to-be adopted in Butler: "A paragraph in the Commercial Appeal yesterday stated that 'Carse cards are being nsed in Switzerland and Germany to check pro fanity. People go about with the cards in their jiockets. and whenever they hear bad language present one to the swearer to sign. The card has printed on it a pledge to abstain from swearing for a specified time or to pay a pfennig an oath to soi ae charity. Nearly 40,(SI0 cards have been distributed in Switzer land, where there are three languages to swear in. —The mee„ting of the Board of Trade, Monday eviyning. was a very interesting one. A Dr. Yates of Pittsburg, who with one or two others now have a small factory for the manufacture of electrical devices up Penn Ave., was present ami offered to bring his plant here and increase its capacity, if given a plot of ten acres and a two story building with a floor space of 5000 square fert. He had with him, and ex hibited n surgeon's instrument and soineotlier things that, he said, were good sellers nt an immense jirofit Tl:c inemliers of the firm control 27 patents, have applied for a charter and intend selling stock. The story is told of a sweet English mother who, giving her pair of sturdy lmys » party of their especial l>oy friends exerted herself for the two hours before «upper in directing various amusements for theni. As the meal was finished and before the boys had left the table, sho secured silence and said: After sup per you may amuse yourselves iti any way you wish. Now what, my loves, wonld you like to do best? With a •single roar tho answer came, "Fight" all of which is a text for a little preach ment on the necessity to curb this com mon tendency of the healthy boy to pitch into some other boy. The mother of three wrestling boys whose united ages barely make twenty, has watched them in their rough play, disturbed lest they should hurt each other, but unable to cope with their delight in pnmmeling. Lately one of the boys has develo[M*l "a sore place" just lie tween the shoulders in the back. Its contiAiance finally decided themother, thongh with no misgivings, to consult a physician. Hie finds the most serious condition existing, and it will take he roic measures, if any. indeed, will avail, to pri vn! <;rv r-irt of th<' -Nine Th> physician is positive the injury came from a blow and feels pretty sure tho blow was given in one of th" family, good natured but all too rough wrest ling Ijotj' llorj.e Stolen.

The town rapidly grew in popn I lation. until to-day it has over 10,«» jieople. The water works were con stantly enlarged to meet the inereaseed requirements. Aliout two years ago great difficulties to the progress of the water plant arose owing to the pollution of Connoqnenes sinj; creek, and, although the other stockholders were interested financially in the preservation and prosperity of | the institution, yet the responsibility fell onto the original prospectors, who, with remarkable energy promptly pro ceeded to make such improvements as would ena: le the plant to furnish a snf ficent quantity of reasonably pur water to the citizens of Butler, invest iug a large amount of money jn the same. The same parties erected a water plant at Warren, Pa., al>ont 15 years ago, which they have successfully op er-ited ever since. It has greatly con duced to the growth and prosperity of that thriving, progressive city. Both plants have now reached a largi capitalization and are principally own ed by Me.«.«rs. Neale.
