Miss Barbara Geible of Summit twp.

feed their cattle on it after it has flow
ered. The State Board of Agriculture

to stock after the seed matures it often
proves fatal.—Ex.
—A woman who knows says that
there is absolutely no use in heating
the glass jars before pouring hot
fruit into them. Simply tie a twine
string to a silver-plated spoon or knife
and place in the cold jar and pour in
your fruit,'draw out your spoon and seal
at once. You won't break a single jar
by this method, while many jars are
broken by the old way: If you have
never tried the above plan, do so and
yon will be agreeably surprised at the
result.

At the trial of Dr. W R. Badger in
New Castle, last week for practicing
dentistry without having attended a,
dental college, it was discovered that j
the new law regulating dental practice. !
passed by the Legislature July 9, repeals
all former laws on the subject, and as
the new law does not go into effect until i
October 1 Badger was released. The 1
local dentists paid the costs of prosecu |
tion.
The law recently passed by the legis
lature relating to the payment of <K:CU !
pation or voting tax by non property j
holders, will prove a great inconven- j
ience to collectors of taxes in rural dis
tricts. The law was made to prevent
politicans from paying the taxes of
voters in order to receive their votes.
It has been the custom for ward politi
cians to secure the names of large num
bers, of voters who were likely not to
attend to their taxes in time to secure
a vote, and on the last day for the pay
ment of taxes to pay for all whom he
believed he would be able to handle.
The new law will compel the collector
to refnse payment from any but the
taxable without a written order from
the same, which other order must be
kept ou file. This applies to taxes of
non property holders only.—Ex.

Bntler Fair —Sept. 7, 8. 9 and 10th.
I
" 1 At the fourth annual convention of
the Western Pennsylvania Firemen's
f Association held at Beaver Falls last
; week Butler county's representatives
1 were the bright particular stars in
,! every line. Our fire laddies captured
' 1 all the races, all the prizes, all the fair
| ones, all the town, in fact, everything
tJ in sight. On Wednesday, August 11,
1 the regular annual session of the con
. ' vention met and selected McKees
, | Rocks Pa. as convention town for 1898
' and elected officer- H. D. Heineman
[ I of Butler was a candidate for president
> of the Association, but Harry will have
i to try for that honor again next year.
I Thursday morning a special train
' of seven coaches left Butler for Beaver
Falls. On board were the delegations
of tin First Ward, (iood will. Camp
bell and Springdale Hose companies
! and the Rescue Hook and Ladder Co.,
also the Springdale hose cart, the First
Ward racing cart and the Rescue H. &
iL. truck. At E .»n City the new J. A.
j Irwin Co. in their fine new white and ,
! maroon suits boarded the train.
1 Arrived at Beaver Falls, the Butler
I firemen were wet by a band and recep
J tion committee and conducted to their
j hotels. Thursday afternoon every
1 person turned ont for the big parade.
The Springdale Co. got a $5 prize for
I the finest appearing hose-cart in the
parade and the J. A. Irwins the prize
j for the best look:' g company.
After the parade Butler went right
| after more prizes an<i the Rescues beat
j out the Homestead and Bellevue Co. s
in the hook-and-ladder race, making
the fast time of 2-5 seconds and
capturing $75, first money, Home
steads time was 42 2-5 seconds and
Bellevue 45 seconds.

seconds, Homestead 594 seconds. First
money was SIOO, and second $25. Fri
day afternoon the First Wards won
the State hose race and another SIOO. in
the fast time of 39i seconds, the
Rescues were second, time 524 seconds.
The First Wards also won the great
free-for-all, prize S2OO, their time being
38 1-5 seconds. The Rescue and Home
stead teams were entered in this race
but withdrew, and the First Wards
only competitor was the Salem O. team
whose time was 49 seconds. Butler
went to the tournament with the hojie
os meeting and defeating the Martins
Ferry team which beat Bntler at Atlan
ta Ga., bnt the Ohio team proclaimed
their cowardice to the world by failing
to appear.
In a regulation hook-and-ladder race
the truck is pulled 200 yards, a ladder
pnlled off and raised and a man climbs
to the top. In a hose race, the cart is
pulled 250 yards. 50 yards of hose laid,
attached to a plug, and nozzle coupled
on ready to throw water.
Friday evening the Butler boys
formed a pleasant trolly-car party, rid
ing down to Beaver and back, and then
started for Butler again with lots of
glory and over $.500 in prize moneys.
T'ne boys cannot speak too highly of
their treatment by the Beaver Falls
people.
Delegations from all the local fire
companies and the First Ward and
Rescue running teams left for Mead
ville this morninu' to attend the North
Western Pennsylvania Firemen's Con
vention.
The Salem running team were not
satisfied by defeat that the First
Ward is the faster team and negotia
tions are now pending which may bring
these two teams together at the But
ler Fair, September 7-10.
After practice on Monday evening
the First Ward running team hied
themselves to T. A. Morrison's catering
house and partook of ice cream, cake
and cigars at the bidding of Mr. Morri
son. After the refreshments the boys
all voted Tom a mighty good fellow.
Nothing is said in the above of the
Germania band, but they were there
with plenty of good music and all Bea
ver Falls listened to it.

Hit the Preacher.
While preparations for a labor demon
stration were being made at Leechlnirg
Maj. Beale met R«v. L. M. McDer
mott of the Baptist church and asked
him if he was satisfied with what he
was doing. The minister replied that he
was more than satisfied to defend the
down trodden miners. One word led to
another, and finally Mr. McDermott
stated that it was his pleasure to defend
the laboring people from the
operators, who were simply robbing
them and would continue to do so.
Beale demanded to know if he was to
be called a thief.and Mr. McDermott re
plied: "if yon are taking from your mi
ners without a fair recompense, yes."
Maj. Beale immediately struck McDer
mott a stinging blow on the side of the
face, and the minister, without offering
to lift his hand, asked him to "smite
the other cheek."
Maj. Beale went before a justice of
the peace at once and paid his fine.
A large and enthusiastic parade, fol
lowed by a mass meeting- which was
addressed by Rev. Mr. McDermott of
the Baptist church, was held there

Butler County Agricultural Association

The grounds have been enlarged so that
they contain almost sixty acres, all of
which has been made available by the
liberal use of drain tile The manage
ment have in view the constant increase
in attendance and have added new
accommodations, new amusements anil
ample room for all. The wonderful
high wire walker, A- hose pefonnance
will be given in front of the grand stand
each day. and the gnidelesa racing horee
on the track even* afternoon without
rider or driver, scoring at the word and
returning at the ringing of the liell, and
starting at the word "go." are aiming
; the new attractions. There will also
! be several bands, it is expected that at
: least four brass bands will lie on the
grounds on Thursday. The new county
bridge below the fair grounds over the
j Connoquenessing creek, affords the peo
| pie in the southern portion of the county
jan opportunity to reach the grounds
j without driving through the town
| thus avoiding the crowd, and enables
j them to enter the grounds conveniently
;to the hiching places. Much additional
j room has l>een provided for hicthing.
i The management is building a sixty
j foot addition to the grand stand. Good
j purses have been offered and the races
j have 1 ieen so arranged as to afford fine
' entertainment. While the attendance
t has always been good, the management
j are ijnite sure the attendance this year
I will be grater than ever. The Carnegie
j road rnns right by the gate and will
carry its passengers direct to the
j grounds, and will also run trains from
Main street every fifteen minutes. The
Pittsburg <X- Western will also stop all
trains at the grounds, and run a train
from their depot to fair grounds every
fifteen minutes. The people of Butler
! county have always been liberal insend-
I ing good exhibits in all the departments,
but are manifesting a greater interest
this year than ever before. The oppor
tunity thus afforded of getting the peo
ele of the county together only once a
year, and it is to their credit that they
"have always sought to make their fair
the greatest and best in Western Penn
sylvania. Let this be the big year for
the Butler fair.
