Charles M. Schwab, President of the

was criticized at the second annual
dinner of the Cornell Club of Western
Pennsylvania, held at the Hotel Henry,
a few nights ago for his utterances
against a college training by Attorney
W S. Dalzell, son of Congressman
John Dalzell. Deafening cheers and
applause followed his remarks. Dal
zell said in part:
"The great battles of life are success
fully fought by college men; the great
est problems of the Government de
volve upon educated men; the Declara
tion of Independence and the Constitu
tion were drawn and signed by the wise
men of that age, and educated men are
now needed more than before. We
have come to lead other nations in
many things. We have greater politi
cal problems to face now than ever be
fore. We should see to it by any means
in our power that higher education is
advanced. Give education our moral
and financial support. Education i%
the enemy of political corruption: it is
the destroyer of the dishonorable, cor
rupt political machine.
"The unsound doctrine of Mr. Schwab
that the four years spent at college are
lost does not gain ground. College men
have been successful in every walk of
life. From the counting table to the
Chief Magistracy of the United States
the college educated man is found.
The college man has taken the lead in
the battles of war as well as the battles
of life. His collegiate education has
always stood him good, and the college
bred youth in the Spanish-American
conflict fought just as bravely and died
ae game as the dare-devil of the plains."

Dear Sir: There are two sorts of farm

nobody, thank you"; the other don't
care. The paint for the thrifty one is

Mr. Thriftless, no matter one paint is
as good as another for him. Any white
wash stuff will do. His clapboards are
loose and windows out.
man can't look thrifty, unless he is

his property. Look at his horses

The Easter Storm.
Easter Sunday of this year, March
30th, will be remembered for its fierce
storm which toppled over hundreds of
derricks and trees in this county; anil
blew the roofs off some churches in
' Pittsburg and vicinity —killing some
people in their seats The most inter
esting incidents in this vicinity were the
j blowing over of a tree, three feet in di
i ameter. in the Pearce Grove near the
j Fair Grounds; the demolition of the
buildings of Stamm's brick yard;
the breaking of some telephone wires
which fell across the trolley and sent a
current into the central office that burn
ed the switchboard. The storm came
up very suddenly, and lasted but a few
minutes, but it made things interesting.
In Clinton twp Wm Walker's barn
was cracked and a horse killed in it and
the barns of Wm. Snyder, Geo. Henry
and W. Gibson were unroofed; and in
Buffalo twp. P. Drain's horse, standing j
in front of a church was killed by a tree j
falling upon it
Last week a field fire, started by a i
spark from a vYest Penn freight engine
spread to the farm house on the Firtch
farm north of Delano and destroyed it.
Sunday the big wind blew the barn
down and the property is now without
buildings.
The big stained glas.4 window in the
west side of the South Side church
wavered in a dangerous manner during i
the big wind storm last Sunday. Had 1
it gone in fatalities would doubtless 1
have resulted.
A horse belonging to Henry Zimmer- |
man of the Plank Road, which was
hitched in the yard, pulled up its hitch- J
ing post ami started to run away, but j
was stopped and caught by Miss Annie i
Kalb
In the Montgomery oil field Eisler :
& O'Brien had 14 out of a total of 10 j
derricks blown down. Iu that field the j
storm made an almost clean sweep. T. j
W. Phillips has 64 rigs down in the
county and the Forest over 300.
At Coylesville, Abe Flick's barn was
blown down and Thomas Leech's house
unroofed.
John W. Coulter and wife of Butler
were visiting friends residing in South
Side, Pittsburg, last week, and on Sun
day attended the Knoxville Presbyterian
church. The storm came, the roof of
the church collapsed, and a section of
the hard-wood ceiling (about 20x40 feet)
fell. Then the high chimney fell upon
the roof, some of the bricks cutting
through and striking the many
of v/honi received face and' scalp
wounds, while a few had bones broken.
The large congregation escaped through
doors and windows, a-? best they eon Id

When I Say That
The Davis Sewing Machine leads all
others, it is not merely to fill a column
with an advertisement I mean that no
other machine is so simple' I mean
that no other machine is so finely made!
And that no other machine is so easily
run! The "Davis" is polished like a
watch; it will not kill a woman to run
it; it will do more than double the
variety of work, without basting, than
any other machine can do. All other
sewing-machine men acknowledge this,
but says, "Our's is the cheapest." But
1 say that to buy a cheap sewing ma
chine is not economy. The best is al
ways the cheapest. I also sell Behr
Bros' Matchless Pianos. For further

ACCIDENTS.
Mrs P. H. Sechler, wife of County
Auditor Sechler, was the victim of a
peculiar accident a few days ago, while
sitting at a southern window on a sunny
day, rocking her child, a celluloid comb
fastened in her hair, exploded and Mrs
Sechler received a slight scorching and
a bad scaring. Part of her hair was
bnraed off. The heat of the sun's rays
coming through the window glass
caused the comb to go up with a noise
like a pistol shot

iyOUR CLOTHES MAY BE
A shabby and look badly worn,
but perhaps you haven't tine to
bother about them and perhaps nc
one will notice your clothes any
way, so you forget about them.
But this forgetting is a mighty big
task when your mother, wile or
bister presists in reminding you c>f
your seedy appearance; you'll be
gin to believe she's about right,
but before you rush off to buy
another suit which is quickly
jnade and quickly worn out, take
a little time to see our showing of

jSHOES
Luxury made Possible
FOR
Modest Pocket-books.
This is the season when everybody wants the most stylish
shoes that can be made. That is the kind we have in our new
Spring stock, and they are as graceful as a, spray of Spring
flowers and as tough as a Bowery kid. Beauty, ease and
service are the distinguishing features in this wonderlul line of
shoes. They combine the height of fashion with absolute
ease and comfort and,the prices are right,
We Don't Want to Keep Them;
We're Not Selfish.
We want every man, women and child in Butler to enjoy
them so we have put the price within reach of all by giving a
very large order and having goods made early while the
factories' business was slack we saved from io to 20 per cent
on the goods, and at the same time had first choice of stock.
This enables us to give our customers greater values than ever
before, and the prices are rock bottom.
Walkover Shoes for Women.
Our great success in handling the men's Walkover shoe
and the frequent calls for ladies' Walkover shoes has led us to
put in connection with our other well-known makes of ladies'
fine shoes a complete line of this very popular make of ladies'
fine shoes and oxfords. You should see them. They are
beauties, made over the very swellest new Spring lasts and
come in all the different materials all sizes and widths.
Fine Shoes for Men.
Never in the history of the shoe business has there been
shown so large and pretty assortment of men's fine shoes and
oxfords. They come in all the different materials, all sizes
and widths, and are made by some of the foremost manu
facturers of men's fine shoes in the country, including the fol
lowing well known makes:
Walkover, Douglass and Builtwell,
which are conceded by leading shoe men all over the country
to be the best goods on the market for the money. We can
show you three times the variety this year that we have ever
shown before. Come in and see them whether you buy or not.
Shoes for the Youngsters.
While we have lavishly provided for the men and ladies,
we have not forgotten the little folks and can show you the
snappiest and most np-to-date lines of boys', girls', children's
and infants' fine shoes and oxfords ever shown in Butler.
They are made after the patterns of the larger ones and the
prices are always the lowest.
All Winter Goods Go Eegardless of Cost.
We need the room and have filled our bargain counters to
overloading with good, serviceable footwear at a fraction of
their real worth. See the lot of Ladies' $2 50, $3 and $3.50
fine shoes we are closing out at $1.24. A lot of Men's fine
shoes, were $3, $4 and $5, going at $1.69. Women's every
day shoes at 59c. Men's good solid tap sole working shoes
at 95c. School shoes lor the beys and girls, Gum boots, Felt
boots and everything in winter goods go at a great sacrifice.
It will pay you big interest on your money to buy your entire
footwear now for next winter. When in need of anything in
the line of footwear, give us a call.
