work.
—White, Walter & Co.'s bicycle store
was handsomely decorated on Monday
and the posies and bikes made a hand
some display.
—"Spanish 4's aTo weaker," say the
foreign dispatches. What's the differ
ence? Wheeling stogies keep up their
strength right along.
—Dr. Byron Clark will wait on his
numerous patients, and ?ny others who
may call at the Lowry House, Butler,
cn Saturday, March 26, 18118.
—"The prodigal sons of modern
times," says the Philosopher, "probably
patronize "the ballet because there are
so many fatted calves there."
—There is no law in this country re
quiring any one to attend divine wor
ship but there is a law requiring those
who do to behave themselves in a proper
manner.
/
—An accident by fire is always start
ling and conf using, and that must be
the reason the victims forget to lay
down and roll. They always run, and
that costs them their lives.
—A big rock slid down on the "'Bes
sie" road in the cnt near MacAlmont
Station last Saturday, and they blasted
it that night, and early Sunday morn
ing. Hence the explosions heard here.
—The Butler Gun Club has procured
a Magar trap from which to throw blue

nople boro. with all its contents, in
cluding two horses and a row, was de
stroyed by fire, yesterday evening.

the fire was discovered.
—The new comedy sensation "Mc-
Fadden's Row of Flats" will be seen
here tonight in its entirety, with a
company of twenty people, and with its
motte "Novelty," there is little doubt
but that this splendid organization. will
easily hold the pennant over all
farce comedy companies.
—The values of the printing offices of
the country have been increased from
10 to 15 per cent, during the past
month, on acconnt of the drop in dis
counts from the list price of type, all
occasioned by the recent rise in the
price of antimony, one of the principal
ingredients used in the manufacture of
type,
—When a horse runs off he goes it
blind. Last Saturday evening Geo.
Schenck's horae ran up Jefferson street,
and at the crossing of Main he ran in
to D. B. Campbells rig and laid down
between the horse and buggy. Camp
bell's horse was unhitched and then
Schenck's horse got up, somewhat
bruised. Both buggies were broken.
—An ordinance has been passed in
Lancaster making it a misdemeanor,
pnnishable by a fine of £">, to litter the
streetj with handbills or any waste
paper That's good legislation, and
should be general. The innumerable
scraps of paper, swirled around by every
breeze, frighten horses, disfigure the
streets and spoil the lawns and parks.
—The big city is the place to get in
formation and to acquire a sharp edge
on the eye-teeth. A country paper cites
the case of a maiden lady who was too
thin in flesh to please herself. She sent
a half dollar to an Eastern advertiser
who promised for that sum to impart
trustworthy information as to "How to
get fat," and received the information
on a postal card: "Buy it of the
butcher."
—lf all the tracks of the Pennsylva
nia railroad were laid in a straight line
thev would reach from San Francisco
to London. The total length is 15,766
miles. In Pennsylvania the company
has 3,839 miles of track. The growth
of the system was less last year than it
has been for any similar period in its
histoiy. Sixty-eight miles east of Pitts
burg and 36 miles west, is the amount
of new track constructed.
—At the meeting of the Butler County
Hospital Association on Monday after
noon, the matter of selecting a superin
tendent was referred to a committee of
three, J. V. Ritts. Mrs. Dr. Hoover and
Mrs. Rev. McKee. The contract for
grading, etc. was let to Samuel Kidd.
It is proposed to hold an opening recep
tion at which donations for the hospital
will be received, but owing to the un
certainty as to when the building will
be completed, this has not been defi
nitely arranged. The Association meets
again in the Y. M. C. A. at 4p. m. on
Monday at which time the superinten
dent will be selected.
—Our readers are entirely too prone
to forget that resolutions of respect are
not printed in the CITIZEN free of
charge. Our rate for that sort of mat
ter is half price -five cents per line. A
society that wishes to have a series of
resolutions on the death of a member
printed in the newspapers, ought to be
willing to pay for them. Newspaper
space is the newspaper man's capital.
He can not afford to give it away.
Resolutions of respect are all well
enough, but it they are printed free of
charge, it is the newspaper, and not the
society that passes them, that is con
ferring the favor. When contemplating
the publication of resolutions of respect
in the CITIZEN yon can form a pretty
correct idea of what it will cost by
counting the words, dividing the total
number by seven, the average number
of words in a line of minion, and mul
tiplying the result by five.
Opera singers and public speakers can
keep their voices clear and strong with
the family remedy, Dr. Bull's Cough
Syrup,

and raised a window, when the man
who was prying at the window below

When a house »s painted it is safe to estimate that a value has been added to it, which
is never less and sometimes more than double the cost of painting.
GOING DOWN HILL
Vour house may not be doing this, but it may be decreasing in value for lack Of paint.
This is just the same as losing money.
