The Poor Farm Hearing:.
The Court Room was crowded Tuesday
morning when Court was called to or
tier to hear the objections of Commission
er Harper Sutton to the purchase of the
Doerr farm by Commissioners Seaton
anil MiU-hell for the establishment of
connty poor farm. Mr Sntton recom
mends the purchase of the Younkins
| ami R Stevenson farms in Sammit
j twp. and prays the Conrt not to ratify
the purchase of the Doerr farm. At
torneys Ralston and Robinson appeared
for the Connty. and Goacher. Williams
& Mitchell, and Lowry for Mr. Sutton.
The burden of proof to show that the
purchase should nor be approved was :
on the objectors, hence Mr. Sntton was j
the first witness called. His objections j
were that the Doerr farm is too near i
town, but a few hundred feet away
from the southern limits of Butler boro
ugh: inmates would slip away and go
down town, and town boys and men
would go up and greatly annoy the
steward and inmates. The farm is on
a bill between 300 and 300 feet higher
than the creek and at its highest point
25 feet higher than the Butler reservoir.
It is a mile away from the railroad, with
a steep wagon road leading up to it, and
ten percent would l>e added to the cost
of any buildings erected because of hav
ing to haul materials up this hill.
There is one rnn and several springs on
the fariii, but 200 barrels of water per
day would be necessary for the poor
farm, which is more than the supply.
The Springdale Water Co, had four
water wells drilled on adjacent land,
none of them large and from 200 to 25<»
feet. it would cost SI3OO to sewer
through the borough sewers and S2V)O
to sewer into the Mile Run which
rises on the farm. The Doerr farm will
cost to much money for the amount of
land acquired. The Stevenson and
Younkins farms, more than 300 acrf s
could be bought at an average cost of
s•">7 an acre. They are touched bv the
P. & W. and B. R and P railroads, are
on Bonnvbrook and can be reached by
the Kittanning and Millerstown roads.
Webb Murray, Commissioner of Al
legheny Co. and formerly superintend
ent of the county Poor Farm, had been
taken out to see the Doerr farm and did
not think it desirable for the purpose.
Frank Torrens of Allegheny member
of the State Board of Charities, had
been taken out to see both farms in
He said that under the "Care Act" the
State allows $1.50 per week for the
maintenance of each insane inmate.
Water is the vital question in selecting
a poor farm, then sewerage, fuel, qnal
ity of land and location in order
Should be at least one acre for each ini
mate. Under new act electric light and
fire proof is required in insane depart
ment. The cottage system of buildings
is preferable but not so cheap as one
large building, An administration
connected with smaller ones by covered
passage ways is best. Should be on a
railroad and have siding to bring in
building materials, but if contractor
would agree to build as cheaply on the
Doerr farm as any, that eliminates the
siding question. There should be a 500
barrel daily water supply; sewerage
should be used to fertilize land, farm
should not be near town. The Beaver
connty poor farm is three miles away
from the Court House, in Venango
county it fs four miles away;in Alleghe
ny fifteen, in Mercer four, in Dauphin
four, in Huntington two, in Washing
ton two and Westmoreland two.
Barton Grnbbs, Director of the de
partment of charities of Allegheny city,
said the city farm is at Montrose station
on tne West Penn, beside the county
workhouse, only 96 acres in it and 850
inmates. Have two double and one
single team, and thirty cows. General
groceries cost about $3,500, besides this
2200 bushels of potatoes are used yearly
and 'ls barrels monthly. The number
of attendants is one to every sixteen im
mates. Isolation is best for a poor farm
to keep tbe immates away from outsid
ers.
A. G. Loveland, commissioner of
Mercer county, said they had 115 in
mates on about 200 acres, a few miles
away from town.
George Schenk, contractor, thought
it would cost ten percent additional to
build up on the hill.
George Pliiow, ciyil engineer, said
Doerr farm line is 2(W feet from bor
ough line and 250 higher than the creek.
Squire Fleming helped to test a wat
er well nearby for the Springdale Wat
er Co, which he thought was a failure.
Joseph Clinton,formerly Commission
er of Warren comity and had charge of
hospital as such, said it was not desira
ble to have a charitable institution near
town. Warren hospital is seven miles
from the Court honse and on a railroad.
This about completed the objecting
testimony, and for the Commissioners,
James Smith, Superintendent of the
Springdale Water Co. testified that HO
barrels produced from the three wells
near the Doerr farm supplied 115 fami
lies daily. The well which Esq Fleui
ing thought, a failure had been re-test
ed and would produce about 500 barrels
of water daily.
Henry Doerr said there were six nev
er-failing springs and a run on the farm
and the land was yery fertile and pro
ductive.
Hindman McQnistion testified to the
same effect.
Fin Mexhalation, C. E., testified that
it would cost fIu,OIK) to sewer from the
Yonnkins and Stephenson farms down
past Butler borough, as would be neces
sary, whereas the Doerr farm sewerage
would not cost more than *B,OOO
L. C. Wick and Geo. Stauitn said lo
cal contractors would make no <1 ravage
charges for delivering material to the
Doerr farm.
Wednesday morning the counsel made
their arguments and the fate of the
Doerr farm now rests in the hands of the
Court
There is no goal t.>o far away—
No summit too sublime,
For earnest effort to essay
Or industry to climb.
Then do not dawdle in the race,
But hamp your back and try.
Get up and dust! But do not chase
The gilded butterfly.
—Election of borough and township
officers next Tuesday.
—The "Elevator" was played by home
talent to a crowded house at the Park
Theatre, Tnesday evening, for the ben
efit of the hospital. It was a great suc
cess both as a play and financially.
—Some ashes were recently found un
der the column iu the Roman forum
which marks the spot where the body
of Julius Ciesar was buried. They are
believed to be the ashes of the i mmortal
Ciesar himself. Shakespeare says:
"Imperial Ciesar dead and turned to
clay
Might stop a hole to keep the wind
away.
But it appears from this that Shakes
peare was not properly informed as to
the disposition of Caesar's remains. He
was not turned to clay at all. Shake
spear should have written:
Impwrial Ciesar, bnrn'd uj>on the
pyre,
Ascends in smoke, and thus goes up
higher.
Midnight Marauders
When Henry Miller and son arrived
at their grocery store a few mornings
ago they found some men sitting
around the stove, and upon expressing
surprise, were told that the door was
unlocked . They investigated the mat
ter and found that some party had
helped themselves to provisions and
change during the night That same
morning Frank McCrea found his shop
unlocked, and the change in the money
drawer taken, except a lot of nickles in
the back part. A couple of razors were
also gone.

weather calls for a notice. Thursday

registering 'M below zero. Deaths
I from freezing were reported from all
I the northern states.
Saturday morning the mercury stood
25 below on Main St. ind many people
were burning wood in their stoves to
make up for the short supply of Kan.
It looked odd to see the white smoke
curling from the chimneys.
Saturday and Sunday the mercury
hovered about Zero. The supply of K aM
was increased by cutting off the Plate
glass and Electric! ight works. Several
western cities were cut off from com
munication with the rest of the world
by the prevailing bliz/.artl, and even on
the main line of the Penn'a. some of
the trains were taken off.
Since then the weather has been

About £7.000 insurance was carried
by different parties in Butler, on the
buildings, anil about sfc'-'.OlHt with Mercer
and Franklin agencies.
That same night or morning Hoover
A: Davis machine shop at Brniu was
destroyed. The citizens turned out and
fought the lire by a bucket brigade
while the thermometer was registering
30 degrees below zero. The machine
shop was in an old church building,
which was used as a school building be
fore the present mnch-litigated-aboiit
brick house was built. The lois is
about s'-,500.

the washhouse was badly scorched be
fore the flames were extinguished. The
First Ward and Campbells had streams
playing on the fire.
ACCIDENTS.
Harvey Hindman, of Washington
twp , was so badly burned some days
ago that his life was dispaired of. Dur
ing the night his sister stepped upon a
match, which ignited and set fire to her
dress; Harvey ran to her aid and in try
ing to save her was himself badly burn
ed. A farm hand put out the fire with
a pail of water.
The breaking of a flange on the wheel
of a freight engine, ditched an entire
train near Grove City, Monday, and
caused the death of Engineer Millias of
Greenville, whose head was crushed.
Fireman McGrauahan and Brakeman
Sullivan of Greenville were injured.
Earl Glenn, a son of S. W. Glenn, of
Centre twp., had his leg broken a few
days ago, while chopping in the woods,
by a tree falling upon him. Both bones
of his right leg below the knee were
broken.
J'AltK THEATRIC.
THE FAMOUS "PASSION PLAY.'' FRI
DAY NIGHT.
The above world widely advertised
and much talked about exhibition
conies to this city at last and
no donbt, will be welcomed by
a throng The famous "Passion Play',
with the curious ceremonies and scenes
with overy ten years attracts thousands
of zelous pilgrims to Ober-Amergau in
Europe, hos been reproduced in a tnas
terfnl style and is row touring the
country." The film which shows this re
markable production is 6,300 feet in
length and there are in all 1,240,000
separate pictures on it, which, when
they flash past the lens of the project
ing machine at the speed at which the
human eye photographs objects', will
form a consecutive moving picture of
the beautiful story, which depicts the
life and suffering of the Savior, from
the time of his birth to the time of his
Ascension. The production from
which these pictures were taken, was
presented not so long ago in Philadel
phia. by a carefully selected company
of capable actors and actresses, ur.der
the direction of Prof. Alexis, of Ober
Auiergau, who was imported for this
sole purpose, and with the aid of sever
al ministers and positive authorities on
Biblical lore, all the minute details ap
pertaining to the paraphernalia, envir
onments and wardrobe were very care
full picked out. The reproduction is
truly remarkable and a masterpiece
and will be seen here for the first time
on Friday night. Popular prices will
prevail. Seats are now an sale. .
THE OPEKA— SHORTLY TO I V PRE
SENTED BY LOCAL TAT-KNT.
Of all the benefit performances to he
given this season the East End Hose Co.
promise the very hest entertainment.
Everyone patronizing the opera will not
only aid this Hose Co., but the fire de
partment as well, and will receive a n
entertainment worth the prices asked.
The best opera talent in the city is in
the caste. Particular attention has
been paid to casting the primcipal parts
properly and in such a manner and with
talent that will insure the audience an
enjoyable evening.
This Comic Opera is ostensably
"comic" and the comedy roles are in
hands of those who particularly under
stand this kind of business.
New talent (and "good" talent) that
have never been before a Hutler audi
ence will be another feature of this pro
duction and ihe management assures
the public that they are a number one
and will be a happy surprise. It has
been finally decided that the perform
ance will be given but one night and
the boys expect our citizens to patron
ize the benefit to the extent of a packed
house. Weather permitting, a big
street parade will be given the day of
the performance.
GRANIJ OPEKA HOUSE, PITTSHURG.
"The Master of Wood Barrow" will
be produced at the Grand Opera House
next week in such a sumptions style
that it would doubtless surprise the
author, Jeromedf. Jerome, to see the
magnificence of his own play. The
scene is laid in an English county and
the flavor of the downs permeates the
whole comedy. The story is deeply
interesting, being that of an untutored
country l>oy who becomes rich and
finds himself out of place amid his new
aristocratic surroundings. His per
plexities and love affairs are the main
thread. The cast is carefully selected,
as is always the case at the Grand.
(treat preparations are being made
for the coming production of "Aristo
cracy." which is expected to far exceed
in beauty and expensiyeness that orig
ionally made by 'Charles Frohman.
It will cost a small fortune to stage it
at the Grand, and it will yrobably be
an even bigger production than was
"Cyrano de Bergerac."

February SHOE SALE.
This is u case of force—
must have room.
This will be your month at our store.
If you need Shoes or Rubbers, you can
have things pretty much your own way.
We have too many goods in the house,
and just a short month to sell them—we
must reduce our stock; there is no other
way out of it. Our spring goods will be
here March ist, and this sale is to empty
our shelves of winter footwear AT ANY
PRICE to make room for new goods.
We Want to be Understood
We are not in business for our health,
and it is not often we sell shoes withjMt
profit. This is oue of the times we do,
anil we consider it good policy to close
out all our winter goods even if we do so
at a loss. We then get the much-needed
room and can buy an entire new stock in
the fall.
Our Prices This /Month
Will be Record Qrecl<ers.
We canuot go into detail regarding
prices, but we promise ycu to meet and
better any prices you cm get in Butter.
