ized for the second time this vear. one

—The woman who wishes to look her
best should never blindly follow any
and every new caprice of fashion, but
should aim to adapt fashion to her own
special style and needs. The rules of
fashion may be applicable ta the mass
of women, but are not suited to all. In
many cases some prevailing style of hat,
bonnet, neckwear or of dressing the
hair makes a lady look like a freak
in a show; and yet, if she exercises
individual taste and good sense, she
might challenge any in her circle for
comely and attractive appearance.
OIL, XOTEs!
The Standard is paying (51) cents, this
morning.
The drop of ten cents a bbl. in the
market last Thursday was an unpleas
ant surprise to the producers who wore

BH; DEAL OFF.
A deal, involving the purchase of a
vast amount of Pennsylvania and West
Virginia producing property and tinde
veloyed territory in the two states, in
which English capital was to have been
invested, have been quietly discussed
by the inner circle of oil men for some
time, but it is now stated upon good
authority that the deal as off. A little
mort> than £2,(MM),000 was the basis on
which the sale was to have been made.
Early last spring some Pittsuag brokers,
aided by Butler and Olean talent, open
ed negotiations with English represen
tativis in London with a view to un
loading the Hartman Oil company prop
erty in West Virginia and Allghenny
county and the Tidal Oil company
property at McDonald and the hold
ings of several other companies, in
cluding a part of the Eastern .Oil
property.
/ ~ last week, satisfactory pro
j
though nothing remained but making
out the papers and the closing up of a
few minor detail?. It is now stated
that the reason for calling a halt by
the would-be purchasers, is the existing
depression in the oil business. Had the
big deal gone through, it would have
absorbed the Hartman Oil company's
interest, and its large production in
West Virginia. Of late this company
has been getting some very large wells
in the Gordon sand territory north of
Mannington. It has been some time
since a deal in oil property of any mag
nitude has been negotiated. The Stand
ard is not considering any purchases
and the brokers say will not entertain
any projiositions at this time and it is
! next to impossible to interest outside
capital in an investment in oil property.
Those who might be induced to part
with their holdings, tix the prices high
er than conservative investors care to
entertain.

I >isgr.ue UIHI lleiltli,
Wi'iian? L *VH>k was born in Worth
twp . fifty ye.irs ago, and moved to A 1
legheny twp . where he engaged in ♦he
oil-producing business some fifteen
years ago.
His family consisted of his wife nee
Xel- m aad two lUiighUii. ti..- eldest
of whom is married to Mr Dunkle, of
Emlenton. His wife died last winter.
His youngest daughter. Blanche, was
inclined to be wayward and though he
was kind to and affectionate with her
lie threatened to send her to the Re
form School, as she persisted in run
ning out nights and keeping company
that he disapproved of.
During the latter part of May last,
Blanche left her home and went to live
with James Shaffer of that township
and shortly after appeared before Esq
Lindsev and charged her father with
attempting to rape her. She went
back next day and withdrew the
charge, and made excuses for making it .
but about two weeks afterwards she
catne to Butler and made the same in
formation before Esq. Anderson, who
returned the case to Court, she ap
peared before the Grand Jury last week
and told what was apparently a
straightforward story, and the Grand
Jury found a true bill against her
father.
The case was on the trial list for this
week, and a number of the people of
that neighborhood were here as wit
nesses.
On Tuesday morning of this week
Mr. Book told his brother that be had
passed a horrible night, worrying over
His troubles. 110 entered the Court
room and took a seat, perhaps by acci
dent. behind his daughter and near to
lier and had been t here but a short
time when he got up and remarked to
his brother that' he had a notion to
make short work of this thing or
words to that effect. His brother
reasoned with him. and William left
the room. ;*ml shortly afterwards word
came back that he had shot himself.
He went directly to his room in the
Xixon House, and there, with a pistol
which he seems to have previously pos
sessed sent a bullet through his head.
The ball entered his right temple just
above the ear and lodged in his left
eye, forcing the eye from its socket,
and it was found lodged in the bones
there and taken out. He lingered in
great agony till two o'clock that after
noon, when death released him from
pain. His daughter ,'efused to see him.
His body was taken to Roessing's un
dertaking room, and after being proper
ly prepared was taken to Lower Zion
church in Worth twp., for burial.
The defense in this case is said to
have been a perfect one. and would
have completely exonerated Mr. Book,
but on the other hand would have dis
graced the daughter, and seeing noth
ing but disgrace at either end of the
dilemma in which she had placed him.
he brooded over his troubles until his
mind gave away and the pistol did the
rest.
William Book hail the goodwill and
respect of his neighbors, and was
known as a thoroughly honest and de
cent man, and his death under these
circumstances is as sad a one as has
ever happened in the county.
An inquest was held by the Coroner
with a jury and the verdict was sui
cide. Book said, after he shot himself
that he had done it on account of his
trouble, and at the same time ho as
serted his innocence of the charge
his daughter had made against him.
When the shot was heard in the
hotel, a rush was made for the room.
Book was found lying on the floor, his
head was covered with blood, and his
left eye protruded from its socket. He
was placed on the bed, and asked where
the pistol was, and he motioned to the
floor, but the pistol had disappeared
and has not yet been found.
It is said that Shaffer offered to set
tle the case for SIOOO.
Fires.
R. J. Miller's large barn in Middle
sex twp. near Glade Mills was destroy
ed by fire last Saturday night. Almost
everything in it (including 250 bushels
of oats, 40 tons of hay, implements and
a sow and ten pigs) was burned. The
Miller family knew nothing of the fire
until awakened by the neighbors. The
loss is put at $1,500, with SBOO insur
ance in the Glade Mill Mutual.
ACCIDENTS.
Mrs. James Sellers was knocked
down by a horse on Centre Ave., Satur
day evening, and badly cut about the
head.
Miss Jean Henry fell from the trestle
of the P.. B. & L. E. at the Pittsburg
or Main street bridge, last Thursday,
and though she turned a somersault in
going down, she alighted upon a sand
bank and was not seriously injured.
