"A wild youth and a wild horse,"

.l.e Klondike shaft in Piirlter twp , j
was completed last week and the own-j
ers consider the test a success and will j
make the shaft ten feet deeper and stare i
mining the rock.
—The P.-& W. R. R. Co. intends
changing the road near North Oakland
.station, running the road around the
hill and discontinuing the use of the
overheat bridge. This would make a
very dangerous crossing and the people
of the twp. are objecting to the change
—The County Commissioners and
John Watters had a joke on an Evans
City man last Friday. He came here
and fought the assessment for that
town and had $125. added to his own
valuation. That's what comes of being
a talkative "gentleman".
—Oil Friday last Edward Goss, after
a career of abont three years,
as a caterer in Butler, dnring which he
secured a reputation second to

his departnre.
Our boys will march through Cu
ba (if it comes to that) wearing shoc-a
furnished by the splendid l>oot and
■hoe house of John Bickel. The shot s
were of double calf, low heeled, wide
toed and in everyway suitable for long
marching. They are strong enough to
wade through mud and turn water;
and springy enough to make the boys
want to jump over all the cocoannt
trees they come to.
—Simple language is preferable to
high sounding words when ordinary
matters are discussed. It does not add
a foot to the statute of a house to call it
a "residence;" a church, or even a meet
ing ho ise is as venerable as "the sacred
edifice;" it is no more genteel to say
"retire" than go to bed, and no more
polite to say limb than leg, when leg is
meant Hainan beings have four limbs,
»wo arm limbs, and two leg limbs. To
which do yon refer when yon say limb?
—The building of the Pittsburg,
Bessemer & Lake Erie railroad has been
of more benefit to the Carnegie Steel
Company than wa.i at first anticipated.
In the beginning it was never dreamed
that the newf e.nturprise, which was
in the nature of an innova
tion in railroad affairs, would revolu
tionize prevailing systems of railroad
ing and ioman 1 clnuge* of the mat
radical nature. It has turned out, how
ever, that the Carnegie railroad was
one of the greatest innovations in th->
history af Amerioin railroads. It has
compelled the older roads to remodel
taeir bridges track i and cars, and pro-
Tide better loading and unloading facil-

Steal Company has profited through
these change.?, having been called npon

A Common Mistake.
It is a common mistake people make
in sujjjxjsing that the only object of the
lUisisi'-. > College is to grind out l>r>ok
keepcrs and stenographers. Business
College education is useful to everybody.
The man of wealth cannot tell if his txxjk
keeper docs his work properly unless he
himself understands the science of ac
. -count?. lust as the best housekeeper
i 'need not do the work herself but she
knows how, anil hence knows when it is
properly done. The j»>or man needs
xisiness education to be able to manage
ri.s 'esources to tlie best advantage.
The moial is plain, attend the Butler

« Ul lU H NOTES
Bessie J. Agnew. of Parker, defends 1
herself against tbe late action of Pres '
bvtery and writes as follows :
■' I was never legally cited to appear |
before the session and conseijuently did .
not appear. In a sermon preached in
First Presbyterian Church by Rev. J. I
Walker "Miller he - lid that if we j
. thought it was not wrong to dance thai '
l it was not wrong for us. "That our
; conscience should be our guide." This
is the instruction we leceived from our .
I pastor. This statement I can subs tan
! tiate by both young and old in the con
gregatiou, including certain members 1
jof the session. And now. for reasons j
i that would not be wise for me to give
publicity to. 1 have become the one en •
j whom they our pouring out their vials
of \> rstb. After h-nring the al»>ve ser- j
j mon 1 did not think I was doing wrong. '
Had the minister called and convince- 1
iue i: was doins wrong i would will I
inglv have given it Bp, rtther than
leave the church. lie did not call an-'!
I did not mention d.tneing to me individ i
! ually, but took the unfair ;iu-ans or" say ;
! ing I'roui the pulpit Sabbarh evening
I ■ 1 was surprised to hear that I made I
} the iilove statement in regard to danc
j ing. If I said so"—-doubting my word j
| when I had proof that he did say so- "1 .
said what was wrong."
As to the prominent members ane !
majority • f y-nng ; eople. they not only ;
indulge bui give dau- - - and canl p:-.rtie
in public places. Some of the elders .
dsn enters at'- nd dances in public halls.
It is not wrong for them, but a scandal '
for me to conduct a refined dancing |
class for children in the afternoon. I i
am very sorry this has caused so much j
notoriety, b it on account of misrepre- ;
s.ntatioa am justified in defending my- j
self."
La." Friday nigh: iiev. Trupp, for- !
merly of Braddoek, was formally in'-j
stalled as pastor of iiie First Baptist!

beautifully decorated and the services j

■ 3 Good shoes need no praise, The right shoes sell themselves if i
FA they have a chance to speak for themselves. It's just as easy to f
kl use big words and make extravagant claim? for poor shoes as for <
A goo«l shoes. Rut the selling of the shoes is rather different.
People know good shoes when they sec them. They know poor
A shoes, too the second time, if not the first. Our meth- *
w ods are simplicity itself—square and straightfor- >
► J ward. We take the ground that you are the best" jndge of the <
i shoe you want and the price you ought to pay. Vou tell us
what you want—we show you whit we have and what the price ,
y is. We leave the decision solely to you. If it weren't for help
ing people try on shoes, answering guestious and making
' change, we wouldn't need any salesmen at all. We only ask
i you to come here before you buy—that's all. Come here first or ►
come here last, its all one to its. But if you buy before you come 4
here, it won't be all the same to jou.
