LOCAL AND GENERAL,
"Precisely 12o'clock last night
The 18th century took its flight.
Full many a calculating head
Has racked its brains: its ink has shed
To prove by metaphysics fine
A hundred.meaus but ninety-nine.
While at their wisdom others won
dered.
But took one more to make a hundred.
Strange at the l*th century's close
While light in beams effulgent glows.
When bright illumination's raj-
Has chased the darkness far away.
Heads filled with mathematics lore
Dispute if two and two make four.
Go on. ye scientific sages.
Collect your light a few more ages.
Perhaps as swells the vast amount
A century hence you'll learn tocount.

The iron ore that passes through
Butler on its way to the Carnegie iron
mills in Pittsbnrg and vicinity is now
taken from the boats at Conneant Har
bor and placed in the steel carH by a big
machine called the "l*n loader.' In
the first place it is scooped out of the
hill or mine in the upper country and
loaded in cars, then run to the lakes and
dmnped into the l»oats, which steam
through the lakes to the great docks
that have been built at Conneant Har
bor; and now the invention of this big
"nn-loader" almost does away with
matin il labor in the handling of the ore.
The s.»ft, red ore, which is the l<est for
making Bessemer steel, is from the
Mcsaba range of hills in northern Min
nesota and these hills are masses of the
stnff with a thin covering of clay and
earth It is said that the ore was dis
covered by two prospectors, who came
across a large tree, blown down by the
wind, with the red stuff sticking to its
roots They knew its value; bought up
the hills, and afterwards sold out to
Rockefeller and others for twenty mil
■ lion dollars.

have gone very hard with him had not

Edgar Mela, former editor of a
Johannesburg paper Hays that there are
hundreds of different breeds of colored
people in South Africa, of which .the
Kafirs and Zulus of the east coast are
the highest type and the Hottentots of
the west coast the lowest. As for the
morality of the Kalir he Hays "that dif
fecri according to the tribe and its prox
imity to civilization. The Zulu is emi
nently virtuous. Infraction of the
law of morality is by
death. The culprits arc placed on the
ground with their respective heads rest
ing upon a flat stone Then their
heads are crushed with another stone.
On the other hand, the Hottentot, hav
ing been a close companion of the white
man, is the most immoral and deprav
ed human lieings perhaps in existence.
The Matabeles are moral, so are the Ba
sutos and the Mashonas. The Bcchna
nas arc less so, and tin- Bushmen rank
next to the despised Hottentots. That
the latter are as bad as stated is evident
when the Zulus will not work in the
same mine with one nor sleep in the
same room or kraal.

have the sympathy of the community

of the best mode to secure the funds |
necessary to have a successful celebra- |
tion. Various ways were discussed. j
The Committee agreed with the views !
of the Executive Committee that SSOOO
might be needed and on motion it was
resolved to endeavor to raise that sura.
It was also on motion, resolved that the i
Borough of Butler secure, by subscrip- |
tions, S3OOO of the si id sum, and S2OOO
to be secured in similar way from other
parts of the county, and if any part re
mains unexpended the same to be do
nated to the Butler County General
Hospital.
The Chairman and the Secretary of
the Finance Committee were, on mo
tion, authorized, to prepare subscrip
tions papers for the carrying out of the
above work, and to make all possible
effort to have the sum subscribed by the
tirst of March, and report to be then
made.
On motion the Finance Committee
adjoined to meet at the call of the
Chairman.
County Centennials.
It begins to look as if all the neigh
boring counties, that were created by
the same law that created Butler coun
ty, would also have centennials this
year. Armstrong, Venango and Craw
ford counties are beginning to move in
the matter. Mercer is soon to follow
and Beaver is well on the way We are
pleased to notice these movements.
Better late than never. But they all
will find plenty of work to do. It
opens up a wide field. But it conies
but on?e in a life time as the saying '3.
>7o child living now will likely be liv
ing a hundred years hence We are
however making history lor those fol
lowing us.

"The production of "Faust" by Por
ter .1. White and company, at the Opera
House, Tuesday evening, was by far the
verv best attraction of the kind that lias
come to the Hudson Opera House in
several years. The scenery and scenic
effects were the best ever witnessed in
this city. Mr. Porter White as Meph
isto, was ever interesting and impres
sive. Hie intellectual penetration of
the exacting part and his easy, graceful
and pleasing acting at once won the
favor of the audience and lie was re
peatedly encored. Miss < )lga Verne
made a handsome and pleasing Margue
rite, and Mr. Stanley Jones, with good
voice and acting, sustained the difficult
character of Valentine in a manner
which readily convinced the audience
that he was an actor of unusual ability
and force. The balance of the cast was
most satisfactory. The audience • was
appreciative and demonstrative. Mr.
White ond his excellent company may >
feel assured of a crowded house it they
should ever play a return date in this

The Blondells.Ed ward and Libliie, wil'
the present season star uhder the; direc
tion of Wm. T. Fennessy in the new
farcical absurdity the "Katzenjammer
Kids". The Blondells rank foremost
among the laugh producers of the
American stage and as the "Katzen
jainmer Kids" should be seen at then
best, for the roles certainly afford ample
scope for their abilities in the comedy
line That the comedy will be irresis
tably funny is an assured fact. The
"Katzenjammer Kids" have already
established themselves in the good
graces of the public and have been
made famous through the laughable
cartoons that appear weekly in the
Sunday edition of the New Vork Jour
nal.
It has always been the aim of Mana
ger Fennessy to surround the Blondells
with the best comedians and singers
that could be obtained, and hisconipaio*
this season will eclipse all his former
efforts.

Alexander 13 Murphy, shooter for the I
Pennsylvania Torpedo Co. at Mars, was
blown to atoms. Mondav morning,
while going to the Trotter farm near
Valencia to shoot a well Murphy,
Supt. Rodgers and Thomas Ritchey
started out from Mars with a two horse
team and eight cans of nitro-glycerine
to make the shot. Near their destina
tion the road got so bad that they feared
to drive further and stopping, they de -j
cided to carry the stuff the rest of the
way. Rodgers and Ritchey went ahead
a short distance with the tin tnbes, etc.,
while Murphy was unloading the cans,
when about seventy feet from the
wagon Rodgers turned and saw Murphy
lifting out a can. A second later the
two men were thrown on their faces by
a terrific explosion. <letting up they
found the team comparatively unharm
ed. the wagon demolished, a hole in the
road where it had stood and fragments
of poor Murphy scattered around. Four
of the cans had exploded and four had
not, one of the freaksof the treacherous
stuff. The glycerine in the nnexploded
cans was frozen solid and the explosion
had ripped the tin partly away leaving
the stuff the shape of the cans. Three
of them were hurled oyer a hill and in
to a deep gully. Mr. Murphy had fol
lowed the torpedo business for more
than twenty years. Fragments of his
body weighing in all about twenty
pounds were gathered up and burial,
lie leaves a wife and three children.
Tie was an active worker in Republican
politics and was well liked by all who
knew him. The horses were wounded
by splinters from the wagon, and seem
10 have been paralyzed,for since the ex
plosion they will neither eat, drink nor
pull.

What kind of weather comes at this season of the year
we are liable to have blizzards, extreme cold and
sudden changes of temperature. Do you know that a
little good whiskey is the best medicine to fortify the
system against such changes? Ask Any Physician
and if he is honest he will tell you that pure whiskey
is the best preventative against Colds, Chills and like
ailments.
Our Cabinet Rye Whiskey at $3.00 a gallon
is guaranteed to be absolutely pure and four years old.
There is 110 whiskey in the county for the same money
that can compare with it. We pay the expressage
too, and make 110 charge whatever for boxing and
shipping. When a transfer from one express company
to another is necessary, we prepay charges to point of
transfer.
Send us $3.00 for a sample gallon.
We know it will please you.
