—Joseph Fisher of Penn twp. lately
found a large turtle on bis place, with
the mark "F. M., 1861" cut in its shell;
and he cnt his own initials and 1898,
upon it. In tbe course of time that
turtle will become a travelling tomb
stone.
—No man baa any business to get
married in 1899 unless he is able to
shave with one hand, rock the cradle
with tbe other and listen to what his
-wife is trying to tell him about the
sewing society proceedings, at the same
time.—Ex.
—Farmers in some parte of tbe State
have been victimized in a new way,
says an exchange. Agents secure per
mission to tack np signs, then get the
fanner to sign an agreement not to tear
the sign down for 90 days. These agree
ments subsequently turn up as 90-day
notes for S3OO each.
—A certain paper, in an obituary of
a man who bad died in the comunity,
said. "A long procession followed the re
mains to its last roasting place." Of
course the family rushed to the "print
shop" to have the "error" corrected.
The editor explained that he could not
do it until the seven years back sub
scription the deceased owed had been
paid.
—Ore taken from the newly discover
ed gold mines at Cripple Creek. Colora
do. is in some cases 80 per cent pure
gold and is worth $200,000 per ton, and
there seems to be an immense quantity
of it. Besides this vein of almost pure
gold there is a six-foot vein of quartz
which assays SIOOO to the ton. This
great body of hidden treasure is found
820 feet below tbe snrface. It is the
richest gold mine over discovered.
—Hot lemonade before retiring is good
for the grip. The perspiration caused
thereby is in most cases sufficient to re
lieve the patient from severe colds and
consequent complications, doing away
with qninine or other drugs, which of
ten leave unpleasant results. In bron
chial troubles tbe acid of lemons re
lieves the irritation of tbe throat, act
ing at the same time as a natural disin
fectant. Fresh lemon juice will kill
cholera bacillis in water, hence it is
not surprising that it will destroy the
so-called influenza bacillus.
—A man who knows the value o
property in and around Butler, said on
hearing of the purchase of the Doerr
farm by the County Commissioners,
that had he known it could have been
bought for $14,000, the county would
neyer had a chance at it. Many have
expressed the opinion that at $14,000,
the farm was cheap as an investment
<only,and when its admirable location and
.adaption for a popr farm is considered,
the county is to be congratulated, and
the Commissioners to be commended
on its selection. W hen first offered for
sale, S2OO an acre was asked, but the
p-Ice was finally brought down to S7O.
—Severa.' men living in this county
have had ali^ 09t miraculous escapes
from instant deJ th while handling
nitroglycerine We heard an old
"moon-lighter" telling, t^ l ® other day.
how a can of the stuff had been jerked
out of his hands one night by a spy run
ning against the lowering line, which
had been tied to a tree. It was a close
call.
A Pittsburg paper of last Sunday
narrates an escape of Jack McCleary.
as follows: "There is no man alive to
day who had a more exciting experience
than a shooter named John McCleary.
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.

- -George .Scheni'k had just finished
putting nji two new smoke stacks at the
Plate Glass works last Thursday after
noon when the blizzard struck tcwn and
in a short time tbe new snioke stacks

—There are 2,557 school children in
Butler and not a single rase of contag
ions disease among them— which speaks
well for our Board of Health. How
ever as scarlet fever and small pox are
reported in neighboring towns it is well
to take the usual piecautions.
—Tuesday night was our coldest
night, and next morning the mercery
stood at 8 to 11 belcw zero in Butler.
The "blizzard" extended all over the
great West and as far South as Fort
Worth, Texas, where a ranchman was
frozen to death. A number of deaths
from freezing were reported in the
Western states.
—At the meeting held in the Court
House last Thursday evening: new direc
tors for the Board of Trade were elect
ed as follows: J. W. Brown. T. W.

W. Z. Mnrrin, W. F. Rumberger. W.

—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>

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. It is always ;
customary to give the condemned man
the last word, and on this occasion his ,
last word was a bit of advice and cau
tion. He told bis listeners that if t here :
were any friends of his present on th;s '
momentous (to him; occasion, and taey
proposed following his remains to the
grave, he would suggest that during
the services at the grave-side they
would not remove their hats for fear of
tbe danger of catching pneumonia, j
Wasn't that a philanthropist*

PARK THEATRE.
KATIE ROONEY, THIS EVENING, (
In "The Girl from Ireland," a musi
cal farce comedy. Lots of fun and ;
frolic.
THE ELEVATOR—FEB. 14. 1
For the proper equipment of the But- e
ler County General Hospital an elevator f
has been found to be a necessity, and to
assist in raising the fund requisite for i
its construction, the Ladies' Hospital
Association will give an entertainment
in the Park Theatre on Tuesday, Feb
ruary 14. The laughable farce, "The <
Elevator," will be presented by some of
our best local talent. This will be fol- ,
lowed by the famous Cake Walk, as ]
produced on a former occasion under j
the management of Mr. Will Keene. t
The assurance is given that an enter- '
tainment will be presented that will J
fully compensate its patrons, who in
addition will have the satisfaction of
haying contributed to the furtherance
of a most worthy cause.
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. To learn
about this send to JAMES VICKS SONS,
of Rochester, N. Y., who agree to do
this in their Guide. The Golden
' Wedding edition of Vick's Garden and
1 Floral Guide is certainly an artistic
. work, with its twenty-four pages litho
! graphed in colors, and nearly one hun
-1 drad more pages filled with handsome
half-tone illustrations, photographed
from Flowers, Fruits, Vegetables and
homes
While this Guide is really too expen
sive to give away, they give it with a
! 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.
