Postmaster John Walters, though al
ways attentive to business, has found
time to design and have made a device
for holding his money order book which

is thick and clumsy, making it trouble
some to write in on account of its thick
ness. John set himself to devise a hold
er and the result is marvelous. Every
postmaster in the country should have
one and steps have already len taken to
secure a patent on the invention making
it applicable to any book.—Evans City

Mart Gibson tnakei a good sngge.ition.
It is, that the old Wigton house, yet
standing in Slipperyrock township, near
the Park, he brought to Butler, erected
on the Diamond, and fitted up as in
days of yore. There is probably no
more historical house in the county
than the Wigton. It is built of logs
and ran be taken down, brought to But
ler and rebuilt,and made the receptacle
of all the curios in the county. Doing
these things, however, will take l>oth
money and time, so be as generous as
possible with the Finance Committee,
when it calls upon you.
P. S. Since the above was put in type'
W. H. Wigton informs us that the old
log house referred to was taken down
some years ago. However there are
other old log houses in the conntv, or a
new one would do nearly as well.

To the qualified elector- of Untie
Borough School District.
In accordance with action of ti:i
Board at its last regular meeting. th<
; Butler School Board dlifW to dire<-
public attention to the necessities whicl
| confront the Board.
We now have schools in five <•">) room
j entirely unfit for that purpose and sad
jly needed for the uses for whict
i they were originally intended. The-'
areas follows' Two recitation room:
in tbe Springdale building one n- it:i
ration room in Jefferson street building,
and two rooms in the Jefferson strei
annex. The above recitation rooms now
being nsed as s -hool rooms, withoul
proper ventilation, lighting or equi;
uient, violate the simplest hygienic r.
(jairements and render satisfactory
school work impossible. The Jefferso i
annex was built as a janitor's resides ••
and serves school purposes as illy a
such a structure would he expected t
do. It is poorly ventilated, can not b •
prcperlv heated, affords bad lighting,
and its floors are not muffled so that it
is almost impossible to conduct a re.-:
tation in one room while a class is uiov
ing in the other.
These facts disclose the immediate
imperative need of five additional s -hool
rooms. In addition to this the U.trd
has nnder consideration the addition of
a business course to the High School
cirriculum. This with the incre:- fl
enrollment in High School next ye*r
will render necessary an additional two
rooms for High School purposes.
To sum up then, without providing
for the inevitable growth of onr school
population and without providing for a
relief ->f the crowded condition 111 some
of our schools at present, we are in need
of seven additional rooms It is pro
posed to secure this needed room in the
following manner. On account of the
lack of room in Springdale :t is nee -.-
sury to bring the pupils from th.it ;ar
of the town to the McKeau street build
ing when they have completed b.it little
more than half of their work below the
High School. As u result of this COTJ.II
tion there are near l lO Springdale pupils
in the McKean street building at tin
present time. By building an addition
of four rooms to the Spri.igdale b
intj. it -.vill be possible to retain th> -e
pupils on the South Side and also do
away with the schools in the recitation
rooms there. The removal of the
Springdale pupils from the McKean
street building will give the High
School opportunity to expand and take
on a business course. The erection of a
four-room building on Institute Hill
will make it possible to do away with
the Jefferson annex, which can be de
voted to its designed use. the janitor's
residence: also to abandon the school in
the Jefferson recitation room, and pro
vide one room for the reception of the
increasing s -hool population of this
portion of the city.
To look at the matter from another
piint of view, with an enrollment of
IO.V) below the High School, we have
school rooms constructed tor tlint pin*
pose, thus giving an average of over .">2
pupils to a room. True, we are cou
dtu-tiug school in live rooms entirely
unfit for such a purpose ami at the ex
Dense of the health and the future wel
fare of the children. And while con
sidering facts we must bear in
mind that all educators agree that no
teacher can do justice to more than 40
pupils under the most favorable cir
cumstances. Taking this basis as a
standard we are in present need of 10
additional school rooms, not taking iuto
consideration the pressing needs of the
High School and the contemplated busi
ness course.
The bare recital of these facts is cer
tainlv sufficient to show that the School
Board lias deferred action as long as
possible and now comes before the peo
pie with the only feasible proposition to
make it possible to maintain the high
standard of our schools.
Now, the situation, financially, that
confronts the Board is briefly as f it
lows: Additional school facilities are
demanded by the crowded ani improper
condition of present accommodations
Under these circumstances, aside from
the Director doing their sworn duty,
the residents >f the district can compel
the Board to provide further accom
modations. The Board, having
gated these matters and recognizing
their necessity, have bnt two courses of
action open to them.
In order tocomplete and add to pres
ent buildings and erect a ne%v one,
which will be imperative in the near
future and to fund the floating indebt
edness wilich was incnrred i" building
an addition to the McKean street build
ing, the Board must, by the first course,
levy a special building tax during the
next fiscal year of sufficient millage
probably 10 mills—jn conjunction witli
th< regular school tax which now is 10
mills. Thus the necessary funds could
U> provided, but the raising of such an
additional school tax in one year, must
of necessity,in most cases,prove burden
some. And it. must be in one year ai
the present indebtedness is up to the
legal limit and cannot be further in
creased except by a vote of the district.
The other course is indicated by the
action of the Board leading up to the
submission of this question to the peo
ple. The Board does not deem it wise
or best to raise the necessary funds in
the first way, believing that, because!
these improvements, etc., ate perman
ent. future residents and the coming
generation, for whose especial benefit
these improvements are made, should
also help to pay them. The Board,
therefore, proposes, as it has advertised
in the election notice, to take the only
other way of accomplishing the high
ends for which our schools exist. The
Board asks the electors of this district
to authorize by their ballots a two per
centum increase of the bonded indebt
edness. This will raise in round figure-,
JS-VI.OOO. Taking from chat amount the
SIO,OOO of floating debt which will lie
wiped out bv bonds of like amount,
there will remain fl">,000 for building
purposes. With that sum at the dis
cretion of the Board, the school facili
ties of this district will be secured for a
number of years and payment for same
extended over a period of thirty years
instead of one.
The Board, most emphatically, does
not propose to issue bonds needlessly or
to the full amount of this increase at
present, but will issue as needed only
such amounts as are absolutely necces
sary and as future necessities demand.

Mr. Van Kinzie who plays the
i "Shadow" in the successful melodrama.
| "A Man of Mystery," had a laughable
experience in Philadelphia lately, lie
was the guest of a fashionable club one
afternoon, when the subject of hypno
tism came up. One of the members of
the club possessed mesmeric power, and
he offered to place Mr. Van Kinzie
under the influence, if he liked. "Cer
tainly. Oo ahead," said Mr. Kinzie.
lie sat in an arm chair, and the mes
merist began to make passes in the
usual way. He worked for several min
utes, and then said to Mr. Kinzie.
"You are asleep. Mr. Kinzie winked
quietly to the others, unseen by the
mesmerist, and kept still. "He is rather
| a hard subject," observed the mesmer
ist. "bnt I have put hitn to sleep."
He was so hot and fatigued by his ex
ertions that, he dropped wearily into
another chair by the side of the subject.
What was his astonishment, when ill •
Van Kinzie arose, and stood in front of
him, making passes in his turn. In
another moment, the mesmerist began
to droop, and soon Mr. Van Kinzie had
him in a hypnotic sleep.
