Millers Association meets in Pliil'ia. Sept. 7th. and H. S. Klingler of Butler will make one of the addresses. —' The Evans City Globe' of last week was a very (Teditable "boom" nnmber. Voting and Miekley are to be congratulated. —The ideal vacation is the one that adds to a man's health and strength,and at the same time it does not substrac* too much from his pocket-book Part of the water-dam at Boyds town gave way early Tuesday morning, and an immense quanity of water came rushing down the creek, but no great damage was done. —What's the use of going to Alaska? They say they have eight feet of pay— pay gold strata in Parker twp., and that the company is advertising for bids for a sliaft 200 feet deep. —The merchants of the Connoqne nessing vallev and their friends will picnic at Cascade Park, near New Cas tie, next Thursday, August. sth. The fare from Zelienople will lie but 40 cents. —lt will be three or fonr months be fore the snow flies again, and people liying along the newly paved streets have that time to bring their sidewalks to grade and pave them but the soon er it is done the better. Monday evening while the First Ward Running Team was practicing at the Fair Grounds some light fingered individual entered their dressing room and rifled their pockets. A gold watch, money and other valuables were secur ed by the thief. —The bills for the Bntler General Hospital were opened Tuesday evening. Those of Geo. Schenck and Fred Rauscher. of Butler, and A. B. Moon, of Beaver Falls, are the lowest, and are close to each other. The contract was not, awarded. —Last Sunday was a dry day. and down near Beaver some farmers took advantage of it to haul in their wheat. Lots of musty wheat and hay will be put up this year, and the Beaver farm ers did right in saving what they could. We once heard of an old fanner in this county who did the same thing, and then reported himself to the Church Council. —At the meeting of Council, Thurs iay evening, it was decided to pave Fair- view Ave., and the contract was award Ed to Peter Schenck. If the contract had been awarded for a square or two of the street adjoining Centre Ave; or if the j>eople of that part of the town had succeeded in adding to its general Value by securing the paving of Look out Ave., there would be ' 'no kick coming," bnt the paving of the steep part of Fairview Ave. will not only be entirely ornamental, but will also in crease the danger of passing over it on wheels. It is a waste of resources to pave a steep hillside. The money could l>c put to a letter use in a dozen different places in the town. —Quite a numf>er of feutler people went to Evans City, with the band and hose companies last Friday evening, and upon their arrival there a proces sion headed by the Germania, and com posed of the Bntler hose companies and the Evans City company paraded the streets; and afterwards enjoyed a ban quet at the new, handsome and conven ient hose house. During the evening the Germania gave a concert in the supper room. It wa«i a great day for Evans City. That afternoon speeches were made by Col. Thompson of Butler, and John A. Irwin of Evans City, who has materially aided the fire depart nient there, and these dedication ser vices were followed by a ball game. The officers of the fire company are; President. Wm. C. Howard; Vice Presi ent, Charles L. Wise; Secretary, C. F. ileyl; Treasurer, George Fehl; Chief, Joseph E. Holbein; Assistant Chief, Al bert V. Johnston; Captain, Frank A. Graham; Drill Master, Lieut E- S. Con kle. An exceedingly interesting thing consenting the Klondike is how to get there. To with, the faro from this section over the Northern Paciffic ie $65.00. A tourist sleej)er will cost s.l and a pullman fIH; meals in dining car, $18; meals at stations,s9. From Bntler to Seattle is about 8,000 miles and it will take seven days to get there.

The cost of living in Juneau per day is $2. Up Lynn Canal by steamUmt to Healey's store is 100 miles and the trip can be made | in a day. The cost of a complete outfit, with provisions for a year, will be S6OO, anil the price of dog and sled outfit SSOO. The total distance in miles from this point is 5,000 and it will require 00 days to make the journey. For those who do not care to make the start at once it might be well to state that the best time to start is April 15th. The St. Michael's and Yukon river route is several hundred miles longer than the one given above. LKGAL >K\VS. —Butler Fair - Sept. 7, 8.!) and 10t!: SUPERIOR COURT DECISIONS The St»i>erior Conrt sitting at Phila delphia made a number of decisions la.«t week, and among them ones on Butler county cat** as follows: Judge Beaver affirmed the low. r court in the case of Ferguson and wife against Moore et al. The ease involved the ijue-tion a- to whether or not prop ertv belonging to the wife can be levit 1 upon for taxes owed by the husband. Mrs. Ferguson owned a cow. upon which the tax collector of Clinton township levied. She recovered the value of tlie cow in a suit for damag- - In the case of the Capital City Mntu al Fire Insurance Co. vs H C. Bogg- JndgeWilliawl wrote she opinion In this case Boggs secured a judg ment against the company in the lower court, the trial judge stating that the appellee never was a member of the company because he was induced to en ter into the contract by the false and frandnlent representations of its agent. S. S. Woods. Boggs had testified that the agent had represented to him that the com pany was a good one and that the as sessiiifiits would not exceed *ls per year He understood that when lie paid £7.50 down on the application thai the policy would require no rnort monev for the first year. The appel lee's application however, agreed that he would pay the company such money as the board of directors of the com pany might assess, and if any such a* ■cessment was not paid to the company at its office in Harrisburg or to a duly authorized agent after thirty day- after notice of the same, he would pay 25 per cent, thereon for expenses of collection The trial judge under the head of findings of facts, stated that the defen dant was induced by Woods to sign the application and accept the policy by Woods falsely and fraudulently repre senting to him that the assessments could not exceed 90 cents on the SIOO for any one year; that there could be no other assessments until the expirn tion of the year: that he paid *7.50 as his proportion of any loss that might occur (luring that year. The finding of facts is not supported by the testimony. The Court says: "The witness denied that anything was said al>ont a !)0-cent assessment per SIOO. He said that he considered the company financially good, but there is no evidence that it was not good at that time nor is there evidence that he said that the company was a first-class one. What he said about future assessments was but opin ion and the appellee could not have been misled thereby. '"He knew by the terms of his agree ment that he was liable to pay such as sessments as the directors should make and that he was liable to a 25 per cent, penalty for non-payment. Further than that he received and retained the policy with the application printed upon it and if he found that he had l>een de frauded it was his duty to repudiate the transaction promptly upon examin ation. This he never did and we sari not agree with the learned judge that the non-payment of assessments was a recission 01 contract. 'Tf obligations can be successfully repudiated and set aside by the non payment on demand, an easy way of payment and of discharge from liabili ty is thereby afforded. The judgment is reversed and procedendo is award ed." NOTES. The will of Mariana Koehler. late of Jackson twp., was probated, no letters. John D.

It not only reversed the Philadelphia license court, which 1 for cause had refused a license to Jere miah G. Donohne, of Philadelphia, but itself granted hixn the license, without remanding the matter, as is customary to the licensing tribunal. The license had been refused by Philadelphia judges, because of Donohue's failure to al»ide by a promise made the year be fore, not to apply again for the same place." LATE PROPERTY TRANSFERS.
