Kathryn Webster of "A Breezy

i here shortly, came near loosing one of
> her many diamond rings the other

During the progress of the play she
made a forward jesture with her hand,
and as she did so a beautiful sapphire
ring, surrounded with diamonds, flew
from her finger into the audience, as she
1 had neglected to put on lier guard ring.
the ripg fell into the parquette, a few
1 rows from the stage, between two
young men. who it had been noticed
were in a way flirting with the pretty
' girls in "A Breezy Timak" They both
| immediately scrambled under their
seats for it. thinking, perhaps, aside
from the ring there-might be a note at
tached, but there wasn't.
The Company's leader :it once noticed
the accident and was a little ahead of
them ill securing the gem.
The em harassed "Johnnies" stared at
each other, the leader took his seat, and
the "band played on"

GRAND OPERA HOUSE, PITTSHUKG
One of the most powerful comedies
ever written by Dion Boucicault is
"The Jilt", which will be performed at
the Grand Opera House all next week
by the splendid Comedy Company of
that theatre. Like most of Boucicalt s
plays, the scene is laid in Ireland with
a cluster of those bright, amusing Irish
personages who are always so welcome
on the stage. It was for his wife, the
beautiful Louisa Thorndyke, that the
veteran playright wrote "The Jilt ", and
it was the last stage work he did, of
any account. It was at the same time
one of the most successful. It contains
humor, pathos, sentiment, romanticism
all the elements of a great comedy.
Lizzie Hudson Collier will play the
dashing young woman who is known as
"Jilt", and the other members of the,
company, including James E. Wilson,
' Hugh J. Ward (who will have one of
those devil-may-care Irish parts in
which he is so good), Thomas Ross, Jes
sie Izette, etc., will be well cast.

that can be seen, is likely to continue
to do so. The big, tender hearted Joe

he cannot win at lirst makes him de-
I mand of his partner. Ned Singleton,
that he shall act the part of a true man
to tlie girl he has wronged, is one of the
classics of the stage. How well Mr
Walter Edwards will play the part can
be conjectured from his work in other
plays that have demanded the extremes
of generosity and deep emotion. Miss
Selene Johnson will of course be
"Mary", the girl for love of whom so
much tragedy is found in this wonder
ful play.

With a circulation showing a grati
fying increase as compared with a year
ago, with a more extensive advertising
patronage than ever before, with added
press facilities which permit of enlar
ged editions whenever necessary, The
Pittsburg Times comes to the public
for ls'JS). it modestly claims to be a
good, all-round newspaper, neglecting
no opportunity to entertain its readers
and sparing no effort or expense to get
the news accurately and promptly.
While it is Republican in politics it
endeavors to be fair in discussion.
Overlooking no field of human interest,
it is carefully edited and courts the fa
vor of the fireside rather than fhe ap
plause of sensation mongers. For ref
erence it submits to the unbiased judg
ment of newspaper men anywhere in
the territory in which it circulates.

AH Item of Special Interest
To Farn»ei*s.
It will not be necessary for us to tell
you of the immense amount of money
spent in improving onr property during
the past year, but especially in re
modeling our "FLOUR MILLS" to the
very latest "up-to-date system," for
most of you are aware of the fact.
But after getting everything in good
working order we began a series of tests
and experiments by which we found
that we are NOW making MORE and
BETTER flour out of a bushel of wheat
than we have ever been able to do be
fore. This fact will be specially inter
esting when we tell you that we pur
pose SHARINO OUR SUCCESS with you,
for on and after January 1, 1H99, we
will give besides bran and shorts :-iti
pounds of HIGH GRADE flour per bushel
of wheat testing 00 pounds. The flour
we will give is our celebrated* "EAGLE
BRAND. We wish you would COM
PARE this flour with any winter wheat
flour made IN or OUT of Butler
county. If yon do so we have 110 fe.tr
of the results A tiial grist will con
vince you of the superiority of this
flour. Yon will tind your bread whi
ter, lighter and more wholesome.
These are very important points and
you might just as well be getting the
best.
Your gristing, wheat or buckwheat,
we can exchange so that you can take
it home with you. We are also pre
pared to chop your own grain on short
notice. We are also in the market for
all kinds of grain, paying the highest
market price for the same, as you will
find out if yon call on us.
The time is about at hand when most
of you will require more or less feed for
your stock. When in with your grist
just ask to see ou> - goods. They are
very superior to ranch of the trashy
Western stuff.
In the feed line we carry the follow
ing: Wheat bran and shorts, rye bran
and shorts, buckwheat shorts, ear corn,
shelled corn, corn chop, corn and oats
chop, rye and oats chop, gluten feed,
oil meal. hay. straw,oyster shells, etc.
