—Chioonludihe hottest bit of munic
ipal politics in its history last week
The regular Republican and Democrat
ic ticket* wete both defeated by a» In
dependent ticket pat np by the younger
voter* of toe town. Jame* Bell. Rep.,
for school director, being the only regu
lar to win There were 212 votes polled,

—Little Marion McCandless of Frank
lin twp. has a novel way of going to and
eooiing from school, while the snow is
on the ground She lives about two
miles from the school house and has a
Shepherd dog which she harnesses and
hiU-bes to a hand sled and he draws her
to school in about 15 minutes: he is then
unharnessed and remains under the
school house until school is out when he
hauls her home. She also drives him to

drives without lines and "Shep" appears
to enjoy it. He also does all the churn

—The P. & W R. R. Co. will not al
low the Butler Street Car Co. to cross
its tracks on Centre Ave. near the Sta
tion —and the R. R. Co. seems to have
the law on its side. The R. R. Co.
claims that fifty-five trains cross the
street there every twenty-four hours,
and that should an accident occur, no
matter from what cause or by whose
fault, it would be the R. R. Co. and
not the Street Car Co. that would be
sudd: that they will be put to the troub
le and expense of looking out for the
street cais, day and night, with no cor
responding: benefit, and also that tb«
Street Car Co. can easily go over their
tracks (88 feet) by a bridge or elevatrd
track from McKean St. to a point on
Centre Are . near Gibson & Weibe s.
On the other hand the people of the
First Ward and the employees of the
Plate Glass Co. are load in their de
mands tor the street cars, and the mat
ter will probably land in Court.

Dear Sir: One coat cf Devoe is better
than two of mixed paint
Tbe Allien can House, at Taonersville
•Catskill Mts. i, X Y Cfcaa. L Wiltse.
had two coats of Mixed Paints five Tear
ago: last spring had two more coats of
the same.
Owner was awing to use Devoe but
got his Mixed Paint a f*w <-ents leas.
Bight across the street, Charles Hacer
painted one coat of Devoe at the same
time—last spring.
Tbe Haner house is the better job;
but wait five years.
Tbe point of the story is that Wiltse
is sorry already. He has learned some
thing that not one man in a thousand
knows—that a gallon of one kind of
paint can contain twice as much paint
as a gallon of another kind of paint.
Tours truly.

! Hon. John Hippie Mitchell, formerly J
of this county, has again been elected to I
tbe United Slates Senate by the Legis- I
lature of Oregon. This event took place
last Saturday after a lonz struggle be-1
tween various other candidates. Mr. J
Mitchell had been elected Senator frr»m
Oregon and would have been re-elect- I
ed soiiit- three or four years ago but for i
the unfair proceedings on the part of his
opponents He has now triumphed over j
them. While Mr Mitchell was born in
W ashmgton county, yet his parents re
moved to this county wibec he was I
quite young. He was therefore raised I
in Bnt'er county and went from here
to Oregon. His niaay friends here are |
jrreatly pleased at his success and heart
ily congratulate him on bis return to
public life.
A man in Hasliugdean. England, who j
recently applied for a certificate exempt- j
ing his child frem vaccination, quite j
staggered the clerk with the Christian j
name of the child, whereupon be ex-1
plained that the name would be found
in "Hisahi." eighth chapter, second I
verse. The clerk looked up the Old
Testament and in Isaiah found the name j
Maher-shalal-hash-baz. "•That's it. " j
said the applicant. aDd thoughtfully ex- j
plained that be and his wife had come I
across it in the Bible, and thought it '
aristocratic and therefore chose it. The <
clerk suggested that John was a more
popular name among the aristocracy,
and the applicant accepted tbe sugges
tion so far as to sav that "their next"
should be named John, but this wou'd
have to be Maher-sbalal-hash-baz.

We have made deep cuts that will please shallow parses,
and a proper respect for your parses should lead you at least
to investigate our

LEADIN6 CLOTHIERS AND FURNISHERS,
137 South Mam St, Butler.
ANOTHER BIG CUT!
On January 10th we had more OVERCOATS in our store than
we ever had at that season of the year. We set about to sell these
Overcoats by reducing the price, and our sale has been a wonderful
success. We have today less Overcoats and heavy goods in our store
than we ever had in our past experience.
We have decided this morning to CUT THE PRICE still more
in order to dean up the store, if possible, of every O/ercoat and
\\ inter Suit. We are now selling Overcoats and heavy stuff cheaper
than we ever sold them since we started in business.
If you want good goods cheap, come quick.
Our new spring line jrill be ready by March ist.
