A remarkable incident is reported
from I'enn twp. When Newton Ma
harg went to bis pastnre field, Tuesday
morning, he found two of his Jersey
cows lying dead, three more were stag
gering around and five more were bad
ly swollen. A veterinarian was sent
for and he first administered stimulants
and afterwards salts. Crude oil was
runuing from the nostrils of the dead
cattle. The pipe line crowing the
field had bnrsted during the night, the
ruu had filled with oil and the cattle
had gorged themselves with it.
Vuite a number of people walked
and drove down to the Lead Works, last
Sunday, to see how the work was pro
gressing. The outside, stone, founda
tion walls of the corroding house were
ationt completed. The building covers
a large plot of ground, about 200 feet by
140, and the interior is divided by brick
walls into forty rooms abont 20 feet
square, with two large passage ways be
tween them. The excavation for the
factory, which will be abont 120 feet
square, and four stories high, had been
made; and great piles of stone, brick,
sand, lime, cement and lumber were in
evidence. A great deal of the material
is coming in on the cars.

-—The new well on the Reiber place
east of town is doing about TOO barrels
of salt water "highly colored with oil.
The well promises to be a paying one.
—An odd tombstone can be seen in
the Catholic part of the North cemetery.
It looks like black glass on the polished
side, and the letters are indented and
gilded. It is pretty, and it is the work
of Philip Tack.
There are several places in Butler
county where young doctors of fair ed
ucation, good character, and stamina
enough to work up a practice and stick
to it.are needed. There is no physician
in the string of villiages from Middle
town to Bntler -viz. Trontman. Greece
City and Boydstown. A good d-x-tor
located at any one of them would find
plenty to do, and a Mt. Chestnut citizen
speaks of the need of a doctor there. A
sick man at Ivy wood must send to Sax
onburg or Glade Mills, each five miles
away. At West Snnbury, Dr. Hocken
berry, one of the best of men and phy
sicians, is constantly overworked and.
though he never said so to us. we would
judge that he would welcome a young
doctor into that town to help him out.
Centennial.
If any town or township has failed to
receive bills for calling meetings to send
delegates to the proposed County Con
vention November 21, for fixing date of
having the Centennial Celebration, they
will please Fend word to the Chairman
of the Central Committee.
At the convention Nov. 21, the date
for holding the celebration will be fixed
and it is desirable that every town and
township be t-epresented in it by its del
egates. The date is one of innch inter
ne to us all.

PARK THEATRE.
THE HUSTLER—OCT. 28TH.
It is not likely that any other comic
entertainment on the stage at the pres
ent time brings forth quite as loud or as
much laughter as is evoked by ' The
Hustler." It is prominent among those
attractions which seem never to grow
tedious. The piece has held a yery im
portant place among all big productions
for several seasons, and this year is
making a strong bid for the top seat.
It has been refreshened, rejuvenated.and
rendered up to date, and yet retains all
the hilarity and highly meritorious fea
tures wh ; .ch originally attracted theatre
goers of all classes. For its new produc
tion a notable company of eminent and
versatile entertainers has been secured.
In plot episodes and dialogue, "The
Hustler" is a perfect specimen of that
sort of entertainent which is made "for
l laughing purposes only" It's special
ties this season are new, and a glance at
the list of the company promises that
they are of the most diverting order.
Grand Opera House Pittsburg
Four eventful weeks are approaching
at the Grand Opera House, Pittsburg.
The first of these weeks will begin next

great success, "LordChumley." "Lord
Chumley" is one of Sothern's earliest
plays, and is in a great measure respons
ible for that star's ]>osition to day.
The second of the four eventful weeks
will mark the first production in Pitts
burg of Carmen. Mr, J. C. Huffman's
version will be used. The third week
will see the revival of the stock com
pany in "The Senator", last season's
greatest success, and during the last of
the four eventful weeks announced now,
Ada Rehan's triumph, "The Last Word"
will be produced.

Rupture!
Trusses for Rupture are
necessary. The only ques
tion to consider is "where
can I get the trus» for
the least money?" We sell
trusses on the "no charge for
fitting" plar. We charge yon
simply for the truss. We go
further, we guarantee a lit
and satisfaction.
There arc many different
kind of trusses, and one
great thing is to know what
kind is best to use. We
have had enough truss sell
ing experience to find that
out. Our stock of trusses is
not excelled in this vicinity,
hut that is not the point for
vou to consider. Your con
sideration as we said before,
is stated above. .Men we fit
here. We give direction
for self measurement to
