that town lately contained the follow
ing:
"The Alkaloidal Clinic, of Chicago,
one of the most prominent medical pub
lications of the day, in its September is
sue contains an exhaustive treatis on
membranous croup from the pen of Dr.
V. E. Lawrence or this city. Dr. Law
rence, as is well known, has taken ad
vanced ground in the treatment of this
disease, usually so greatly dreaded and
heretofore considered of so fatal charac
ter, and has made far more than local
fame in the great success which has at
tended his efforts. The present article
is largely descriptive of his progress,
step by step in the study of the disease
and the remedy for it; he also devotes a
considerable space to establish the fact
that membranous croup and diphtheria
are widely different diseases. The arti
cle is especially interesting to students
of therapeutics."

back to port, where they and most of

ture factories at Grand Rapids now

good and some very poor, but the But
ler county people were fortunate in se
curing some very good land and are
prospering. The boys enjoyed their
outing, which only cost them about $-10
each, ate fish three times a day and
came home "as brown as berries."

and Olean in the hub race.
Local runners who entered the foot
races were beaten by John Batson, the
negro flyer.
Thursday the Rescues returned home,
having had very poor luck in the races,
and the First Wards went on to James
town, N. Y., where they found a town
of 35000 people at the outlet of Chau
tauqua lake and all were taking a day
off to entertain the firemen. The But
ler boys stopped at the New Sherman

to their lot. That afternoon there was

little the fastest in the runs. First and
second moneys in the hose race were
divided between Butler and the Acmes.
The First Wards' winnings for the trip
were $443.50 and expenses $335.
Saturday night the First Wards Hose

brooms and Chinese lanterns. Later
they were sumptuously banqueted by

tournament.
Later this bet was called off.

PARR THEATRE.
THE "POOK RELATION." FRIDAY,
SEPT. 21.
"While the large advance sale of seats
for the single performance to be given
at the Park Opera House to-morrow
night betokens a most fashionable
gathering, they are many good and
desirable locations yet to be had.
Mr. Fred G. Berger, for this the sec
ond season, of Mr. Bass in Sol Smith
Russel's funniest of all his plays ' A
Poor Relation" carries new and special
scenery, drapings, models, properties,
<fce., making a production picturesque
and complete in all details.
Alden Bass, though a young actor for
so successful a star, has had a very long
and varied experience, having played
most of the leading parts, and been the
producer of many of the greatest suc
cesses of New York and Boston.
Two LITTLE VAGRANTS— 29th.
Edward C. White's highly successful
and delightful melodrama. "Two Little
Vagrants," which has taken a first place
in its own class as an instructive and
thoroughly entertaining play. The
story it extremely interesting, appealing
as it does to the tender sympathies of the
human heart and presenting throughout
the entire four acts a remarkable con
centration of dramatic vigor and strong
sentiment.
HENRIETTA GROSSMAN—SEPT. 25th.
In "Mistress Nell," the merry play
that Henrietta Grossman will bring to
the Park Theatre on Tuesday night, this
charming player is said to have made
the greatest success of her life, both
from financial and artistic standpoint,
and everywhere the play and players art)
referred to as the sensation of the sea
son. "Mistress Nell" is a comedy in
which the central figure is Nell Owyn,
the famous English actress, so that it is
historic and all the characters are, in
fact, taken from English history. It
seems strange, but at the same time
there is a general interest in Nell Owyn,
not alone in tnis country, but also in
Europe, and since Miss Crossman first
produced "Mistress Nell" in Denver last
Spring, there has been two plays in
which Nell Gwyn figured presented in
London showing that in the English
capital the fact is recognized that Hen
rietta Crossman has a great success in
her new play in America.
Granil Opera House, Pittsburg.
The Grand Opera House, Pittsburg, is
this week running one of the biggest
productions ever attempted in the
country. The play is David Balasco's
"Men and Women." and it is having the
best production that was ever given it.
The stock company is playing the piece
splendidly, and the large houses that
greet it are evidence that the production
is highly appreciated.
Next week the versa tile stock company
will change from heavy society drama
to farce comedy, presenting that most
laughable of farces. "All the Comforts
of Home." This is a Gillette play, the
funniest that William Gillette ever
wrote. It is funny from start to finish,
a perfect rush of laughter.

At Rimerton. Armstrong Co.. last
( Saturday. Mrs. Wm. Flick, and her son
i and daughter, were overcome by black- j
! damp, in a coal mine, and died shortly: j
1 and John Wilson, a miner, was not ex- ,
pected to live. The story of the death
of the three members is a peculiar one. j
Early in the morning John Flick went j
into the mine. He was to have returned
at noon. The family waited dinner on i
him for some time, and then thinking 1
that he had forgotten the time of day,
sent Nellie into the mine to ask him to
come home for dinner. Nellie had gone
into the mine but a short distance when
she was overcome by blackdamp. The
frmily waited some time for the son and
daughter to return, and then fearing
that something had happened to the son
and daughter. Mrs. Flick started in
search qf her two children. Sometime
elapsed and she did not return when 1
the alarm was given. Miners flocked (
to the mine from all around, and volun-,
teers were easily found to enter and j
search for the lost members of the j
family. John Wilson, who belonged to j
the rescuing party, was overcome by the j
deadly blackdamp, and is in a serious j
condition. The 1 todies of the three
members of the Flick family were re- j
moved from the mine, and taken to i
their home. The bodies were found
only a short distance apart, all having
been overcome by the blackdamp.

OWN AN
APOLLO
With one you can play on the Piano
at any time the music you desire. The
Apollo is a wonder. You roll it to your
piano in a moment, sit down before it,
put in the music, start it, and by means
of small keys control the expression and
tempo perfectly. The playing of the
Apollo is so perfect, as not to I*> distin
guished from that of a human being.
All effects possible on the piano can be
rendered with the Apollo. With an
Apollo you are master of your own
piano and are able to play perfectly all
the most difficult works of Wagner,
Liszt, Beethoven, etc., as well as the
light and popular marches, coon songs,
etc.
Call at my wareroom and hear one of
the world-renowned Chase Bros. Pianos
