Our Jim says that the young men of this section generally do not seem to appreciate to any very great extent Chrietain Associations. These institu tions are especially inlended for their good; at least, that is the design for which they are established. The reading rooms which these places have are fur nished with suitable publications from which young men might improve their minds if they had a mind to; but they appear to prefer other places of resort, from which nothing elevating can possi bly be derived. It is true that there are many other places of a moral tendency which young men might attend, but the characters here alluded to keep aloof from them, which should not be the case Opportunities to improve and edify the mind when neglected are sure to prove baneful in the long run. Young men who prefer pernicious ways to moral rectitude are not the charac ters likely to lie found in Christian Association rooms. Their ideas run counter to such places, morally and in tellectually. Oil. NOTES. The Standard is paying 65c this morning. EVANS CITY—John A. Irvin struck a cood gasser on the Geo Manbnrger ast week. , The Gold Standard Oil Co s No. > on the A. C. Ramsey sv.;j completed last week ar.il is good for 20 to 30 barrels. RKIHOLD—Last Thursday night about 11:80 W. L Curtis' well No 3 on the John Felil farm, which was ln-ing drili ed to lower sands, unexpectedly made a | flow of oil and caught fire, which con sumed the rig. and the ttxils. which were within 50 feet of the fop, went to the bottom. A new rig will be im mediately built. The well has been flowing aliont every two honrs since struck and is estimated te be good for 125 to 150 bbls. per day. It is located three-fourths of a mile northwest of the Reibold railroad station, and as no wells of this size has been found in that vicinity it looks very much as though some new terrritory was in sight. Mr. Cnrtis was at the well when it took fire and he and the drilling crew had a very close call, but luckily escaped all right. A Letter For You.

In calling for thesil caused a tremendous boom, has been a wonderful ltoon, and for fifteen • years past l*>en the real driving force of j the town. But now West Virginia j claims the attention of most of the oil ' men. and as to our local fields we can't ' look half a mile down into the bowels of ; the earth and see how long they will j continue their production and assure j Butler's maintenance, j Our town ha.-- unusually convenient railroad facilities, lately incren-kd by j th. new I'.. &L M line and soon to Ibe incre: -til again by ih* "r.:?aio. j Rochester iV Pittsburg road, which will [ connect the eastern Vonderbilt system I with tlie Brice system of Ohio. The lo cal Kc.s well.- furni«h abnndawe of the l best fuel on earth. There is plenty of I available ground for manufacturing i sites. There is a great open market for | almost everything close at hand But j the one drawback which outweighs all the good points is we have scarcely enough water to supply our own pres ent needs, and here is the weak rung in the ladder of Butler's prosperity. As someone lately remarked, "You can't show manufacturers a dry creek and j then expect them to locate here.'' And so it is obvious to all that Butler's greatest need is an increased and suffi cient water supply. This problem outweighs the sc-hool building, fire-alarm and other present questions as lead outweighs chaff. We can't get along without more water, more water! And it would be accepta ble to have an improved quality as well as an increased quantity. Now, how can Butler get more and better water, sufficient not only for ourselves, but to warrant a supply for any factory that chooses to locate here? It is a well known fact that a vein of soft water lays one hundred feet, more or less, under the town Many local households and establishments draw their supply from this Why not find oat if enough for general use could be obtained from this vein? The South Side has a splendid water supply, obtained from wells drilled on the range of hills south of town. There are also many large springs of excellent water on these hills. We might men tion the Boyd. Muntz and McClymonds springs. These facts lead us to believe 'hat wells drilled on the l»it? south hills would send up enough water to settle the question locally forever. Besides, the hills are so high that a reservoir on top of them would force the water to every part of town and to the tops of the highest buildings. If there was an other reservoir as large as the present one. always full of water and ready to be drawn on for every need we believe there would be a veritable stampede of manufacturers to locate in Butler, for our town would then be an industrial ideal. We don't think our local Board of Trade would have to give any facto ry seeking a biding place more than one invitation, if in addition to Butler's other inducements, tho Board could of fer them plenty of water. Could the Board of Trade fulfill its mission in any lietter way than by seeking and finding more water? These few opinions and suggestions are humbly given in hope that in some way they may have some little to do with procuring an ample water supply. We will be devoutly thankful if such i.-> the case. Happy the day when, instead of the mud-flavored, yellow beverage we are now forced to use, we can go to the spicket and draw forth a glass of clear, pare and palatable water E. PUBLIC SALES. John I>.
