While filling a shell in the derrick, the well flowed and McCleary ran The column of oil threw the shell out of the hole and it exploded, wrecking the der rick and tossing McCleary to the jgrowud. As he arose, four cans on the Serrtek floor exploded. The force of tb& «econd explosion sent the shooter fifty feet through the air, filling his back with pieces of tin and splinters. He fell stunned and bleeding but sur vived the injuries sustained." Jack was afterwards blown to atoms in Ohio. Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup will cure a cough or cold at once.

A sheet iron mill •» is askiug for propositions for locating here. —Local men in probably the best position to know say there is no foun dation for the report of the removal of Westminster college of the U. P church from New Wilmington, Law rence Co. If however such a move is contemplated by the college people, Butler should make a strong bid for it and would no doubt be successful in bringing the college here. Dr. Fergu son, the president, is a former pastor oi. the local U. P. church and there is no> stionger United Presbyterian commun ity in Western Pennsylvania, than But ler. There is every reason to believe,, that if Dr Ferguson moves his college' at all, the proper effort would induce him to bring it to Butler. —They hanged a man in Moatana the other day, who was a philanthropist. They didn't hang him for being a phi lanthropist, but because he killed an other man, and he really deserved hang ing. But before they swung him off he made a few remarks.

THE AVENUE THEATRE. PITTSBURG J Melodrama of the most thrilling na- ' ture will reign at the Avenue Theatre 1 next week. "The Fatal Card," by 1 Haddon Chambers and B. C. Stephen- • son, is to be put on as a massive scenic \ production. Each oue of the five acts is a marvel of dramatic construction ; and teems with sensational interest. ' The story is that of a gang of thieves in the west under the lead of Frank For- J rester, who is about to be banged by 1 vigilantes, when he is rescued by a young man named Gerald Austin. For this service Forrester tears a card, "the Jack of clubs," in half, gives one half ( to Austin and keeps the other himself, with the remark thai whenever Austin , requires his (Forrester's) help, he has enly *0 present the scrap of card. How Austin does present the half of the fa tal card to Forrester in London, after ward, and how it is the means of sav ing Austin's life, is interestingly told by the dramatists. GRAND OPERA HOUSE, PITTSBURG. There will be a week of screaming comedy at the grand, beginning next Monday. "Jane," one of the funniest and most cleverly constructed comedies that ever made people's sides ache with laughter, will be put on with the mag netic Grand Comedy Company playing the various parts. Clean, wholsome and excruciatingly comical in every one of its three acts, the story is con sistent and perfectly clear. Every character is a laughable type, Whim sicle situations follow each other thick and fast, and there is absolutely no cessation of the fun while the curtain is up Something for Nothing. We have heard of the boy who want ed to eat his cake and keep it too, but never before of a business man who sold his goods and then gaye the purchaser credit for the amount paid.

Due Bill for 25 cents worth of seeds for only 15 cents. Another new feature is r the doing away with the old packet of Vegetable Seeds and stating the quan ' tity in each '•ase, the buyer getting ' more for his money. FLORIDA.
