pher who never attempts to argue with

ed to Butler.
—Mrs. Zimmerman is refitting the
basement of bar building for a carpet
and curtain room.
—Mr. Steele has moved into the store
room iu the Berg building, two doors
below his old location.
—D.*n Wuller has rented his vacant
store room to a man named Turner, of
Allegheny, for a shoe store.
—Onions are said to be good to
sfreugthen the serves, but we know
they are good to strengthen the breath.
—Appomattox Day was celebrated by
the U. V. L. last evening and was fol
lowed with a box social by the Electric
Assembly.
—G W. Campbell of Grove City has
purchased the Sutton drug store; and
there are rumors of another drug store
for Butler.
—The strenuous writers on the stren
uous papers in the strenuous cities say
tbis is a strenuous age of strenuous ac
tivity, etc.
—Four young ladies of Marion, Del.,
all intimate friends, lately beoame rav
ing maniacs, and were taken to the in
sane asylum.
—This will be a good year to become
a vegetarian Hogs haye gone out of
sight, and beef is as high as when the
cow jumped moon.
—The house of ex-County Treasurer
Joseph T. Campbell, east of Petrolia,
was burned last week by a fire which
started from a defective flue. The loss
is about #2,000.
—W. E. Moore, who has purchased
from J. L. Walker the Model Cigar
Store, 326 S. Main, is selling off a line
of meerschaum pipes that is scarcely
equalled any place in city or town. Give
him a call.
—There is a general sentiment that
the County Commissioners should oSer
a reward for the arrest and conyiction
of the murderers of Henry Smith who
was murdered at Carbon Black on the
night of March. 6th "Murder will out'
and should be followed by hanging for
the three brutes.
—Something to remember with house
cleaning day is that a teaspoonful of
turpentine in two quarts of hot water
makes the best solution in which to
wash glass or windows. And do all
housekeepers know that kerosene will
take finger marks from doors without
removing paint or varnish?
—Fire broke out in Newell's hotel,
Pittsburg, late last Saturday night, on
the sixth floor in the two front rooms.
The rooms were unoccupied, but every
other room on the floor was engaged for
• the night The fire was extinguished
in 15 minutes and was all confined to
the rooms in which it originated. None
of the guests were hurt. #
—About one-fifth of the cattle receiv
ed at Central stockyards, at East Liberty
last Monday were shipped to London,
and as a.result many city retailers were
unable t» supply customers. The decid
ed increase in the demand for live stock
from the English markets and the pro
portionate decrease in the production in
the United States will, it is predicted by
stockmen, cause a serious meat famine
in this country.
—lt is notorious that the confirmed
practical joker is the least tolerant of
jokes at his own expense. He is never
able to see any fnn in being duped.
This adds much to the enjoyment of
those who manage to trick him. On
one of the big days at the Buffalo Ex
position the hctels were forced tc make
new arrivals double up. A drummer
who was an inveterate practical joker
proposed to have a room and bed to
himself. He suggested to his friend the
clerk that should any applicant lor half
his bed prove persistent, he should be
told that the drummer was just con
valescent from small-pox. The drum
mer was aroused from the first deep
sleep by a man getting into the bed.
"Hold on there!" he cried; "didn't the
clerk tell you I have smallpox?" "Yes,"
. replied the new comer, drawing up the
covers, "hut that's all right—l've got it
myself !" With a yell the drummer
leaped from the bed, seized his clothes,
dressed in the hall and spent the night
in a chair, longing for the morning so
he could get himself disinfected. In
the morning he discovered that the
other man was a joker himself. The
drummer was infuriated by such shabby
treatment.

Letter to Hamilton Bottle Works
Butler, Pa
Dear Sir: Devoe lead and zinc not
only goes further than Mixed Paints
except lead and oil, the only paint that
covers as well—but is full measure.
Few paints, that are sold by the can,
are full measure: generally they are
about ten per cent short. The same
is true of almost everything—factory
weights and measures are almost always
short.
Lead and oil is an honest paint; the
only objection to it is its chalking off in
three years.
Devoe lead and zinc neither chalks
nor peels, but lasts twice as long as lead
and oil.
Yours truly,
74 F. W. DEVOE & Co.
P. S.—Patterson Bros, sell our paint
in Butler.
PARK THEATRE.
MATINEE AND NIGIIT—SATURDAY,
APRIL 12.
Farce comedies are seldom 9taged
with any attention to scenic details..
An exception is, however, in the new
three act piece ' 'The Irish Pawnbrokers"
which Manager Joe W. Spears will offer
at the Park Theatre, April 12th. lie
spent a large sum on special scenery and
costumes for each act and announces a
production of commanding interest in
farce comedy life. He has not only
equipped the piece with great cast and
care but has provided a company com
posed of the headliners and stars of
comic works.
Matinee prices 10 and 25 cts, night 25
85, 50 and 75 cents.
KATZENJAMMER KIDS—TUES. APR. 15.
That solid enduring comedy success,
"The Katzenjammer Kids" will occupy
the stage at the Park Theatre, Tuesday
April 15. The Katzenjammer Kids is a
bright and breezy entertainment and
has been endorsed by the leading critics
thronghcfnt the country. The company
is headed by the famous Blondells, the
leaders of juvenile character delineators.
THE HEART OF MARYLAND—THURS
DAY, APRIL 17.
David Belasco's romantic and realis
tic drama, ''The Heart of Maryland,"
holds a foremost place in the list of
dramatic attractions of the present
season. It is an American play in
locale, story, sentiment, scene and
characters. Its most thrilling climaxes
alike with the pronounced individuality
of its personages bear no suggestion of
exaggeration to mar the force of their
dramatic expression. The scenic illus
trations are realistic and impressive,
and the company included in the cast
are artistically representative of the
higher quality of acting.
Grand Opera House, Pittsburg.
No funnier or livelier farce comedies
of modern origin excel those for which
George Broadhurst stands sponsor. His
"What Happened to Jones" and "Why
Smith Left Home'' were among the
most successful farces produced a few
years ago. The announcement that
Manager Davis at the Grand Opera
House will follow "The Christian" with
one of the best Broadhurst concoctions,
"The House That Jack Built," will
therefore be received with unusual
Pleasure by the theatre-going public of
'ttteburg. »

Grand Opera iu Pittsburg.
The fourth season of Grand Opera '
in Pittsburg by the eutire company 1
from the New York Metropolitan ope
r i house is fixed for the four evenings i
of April 14th. 15th, Kith and 17th and 1
the afternoon of Wednesday. April
16. The entire company of artists, the t
full chorus and orchestra and the J
scenery used in New York, in fact ev- j
erything will be transferred to Pitts- (
burg for the>e five performances.
The Pittsburg season of opera is now
the most brilliant one outside of New
York although short. The reason of
this is that Mr. (J fir Wilson,
of the Pittsburg orchestra, who under-'
takes the opera season more for the ]
love of it than for any other reason,
guarantees the Maurice Grau Opera
company its highest figure and in re
turn he selects the operas to be given •
and the artists to be heard. The re
sult is the best list of operas possible
aud such an array of artists for each as
is not heard out of New York.
Fully 200 people will take part in the
Pittsburg performances; the scheme of
operas is as follows:
Monday evening, April 14th: Ver
di's "Aida,"
Tuesday evening, April 15th: Padere
wski's new opera of "Manrn."
Wednesday afternoon, April 16th:
"Carmen."
Wednesday evening, April 16th: "Lo
hengrin."
Thursday evening, April 17th: Mo
zart's "Marriage of Figaro."
The single seats for any opera are as
follows: $1.50, $2, $3, $4, $5 and $6.
The management assures this paper
that fully oae-third of the seats in Du
qnesne Garden will be open to single
sale buyers beginning on Thursday,
April 10th, at Mellor's store, 319 Fifth
Ave., Pittsburg. Written orders will
be received from outside of Pittabartr
and if accompanied by cheque the
tickets will bo reserved in any envelope
with the name of the buyer. No more
than five seats for a given performance
will be sold on any one order.
The patronage from places outside of
Pittsburg is likely to be very large and
because of this all the railroads will
make special preparation and will hold
their late trains until after the opera
performances.

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 SP 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
I 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

Y OUR CLOTHES MAY BE
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.
Hut this forgetting is a mighty big
task when your mother, wife or
S"ter prcsists in reminding you of
your seedy appearance; you'll be
gin to believe she's about right,
but before you rush off to buv
another suit which is quickly
made and quickly worn out, take
i little lime to see our showing oi
new importations (exclusive styles)
and learn for what little money
you can acquire the habit of wear
ing clothes made for you; made
by hand in our tailor shop in
Butler.
We take the pains to fit you.

A Beautiful Array of
SPRINGIFOOTWEARISUMMER
Miller's Shoe Store.
Unquestionably the largest and
and prettiest line of fine Shoes and
Oxfords ever shown in Butler, and
back of the pretty appearance is
good, honest wearing quality.
It is worth the while of every prospective buyer; yes,
every resident of this town, to inspect this handsome line of
footwear. All the new, stylish shapes and popular leathers
are shown in this immense line, and the prices are rock
bottom.
Our line of ladies' fine shoes and oxfords
has never been so complete. It comprises all the new swell
styles in heels and toes in hand turns and welted soles, with
close or extended edges, and come in all the different materi
als; all sizes and widths. In fact there is nothing in the line
of ladies' fine footwear you will not find in this immense stock.
The new three-button oxford for ladies.
This new design is a most effective foot fashion made of
the new soft patent leather with medium or heavy extension
soles. We have them in all sizes and widths. Oxford ties
will be more extensively worn this Spring and Summer than
ever before. We have made our preparations accordingly, as
you can see from the immense stock and great variety we now
show.
Men's shoes and oxfords in endless variety
We are showing the swellest line of men's fine shoes and
oxfords ever shown in this town. All the new designs from
the best Eastern makers. They come in handsome combina
tions of all the new heels and toes; made in all the new ma
terials; all sizes and widths. This line will put anything in
the shade ever shown in Butler, and the prices you will find
are from 25 to 50 cents a pair cheaper than you will find else
where, while you have twice the variety to select from. They
are the product of the famous WALKOVER, BUILTWELL,
DOUGLASS and many other strictly up to-date factories.
SHOES FOR THE BOYS AND GIRLS
Space will not permit us to give in detail all the different
new styles in boys', girls' and infants' fine shoes and slippers.
No effort has been spared to make this line one of the strong
est and handsomest lines ever shown in Butler, and there is
nothing you could desire in strictly up-to-date fine shoes for
the boys and girls that you will not find in this wonderful line.
When in need of footwear, give us a call.
