GOOD ADVICE.
"Would you still possess yon lover,
Would yon still his love retain,
Never let him much discover."
Looping the Loop.
Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brothers'
united shows arc exploiting a feature
this season which eclipses in point of
sheer daring anything ever attempted in
any arena. It is the famous Dia valo in
' 'his looping the loop" on a bicycle, an
act which created the profonndest sensa
tion in New York city and Philadelphia
and elicted more praise and was given
more space in the metropolitan press
than any single act ever presented to
the public.
Looping the loop is described as danger
deriding and death defying, which is as
near correct as words can make it. From
the extreme height of the canvas dome
Diavalo makes a thrilling decent down
the narrow plane on a bicycle and the
momentum thns gained carries him
around the loop at a terrific rate of
speed. At the top of the loop both
rider and wheel are upside down a::d
j going at the rate of 40 miles an hour.
It is a hair raising act and one that all
should see, as it gives a practical dem
i onstraticn of the first scientific lesson
of youth—the swinging in a circle of a
bucket full of water without spilling.
The dale of the show here is Saturday,
' I August 2.

Smallpox in West En<l Boarding:
House.
A small but exceedingly lively panic
was created at the home of John B.
I Fleming, 216 New Castle St., Wednes
day afternoon, when it was discovered
! that a structural steel man, employed
at the car worts and boarding at Flem
ing's, was snffeiing from smallpox in a
mild form. When the announcement
was made the twenty-three other board
ers all steel workers grabbed their
clothes arid hiked for the woods nor
cast one lingering glance behind. Health
officer McQuistion was at once notified
and the Flemintr residence was quar
antined.
Wednesday evening a joint meeting
at the Board of Health and the Town
Council was held and it was decided to
build a temporary frame hospital on the
car works grounds where any invalids
and those quarantined would be kept
until danger is past.
Our Water Supply.
The American Water Co. for which
Mr. Wright is agent ami manager in
Bntler, is at present spending considera
ble money in the town. The new line
from the power house to the reservoir,
and from the reservoir through Elm,
Penn, Bluff, W. Clay, Chestnut, Race.
Willow, Fairground ami Pierce streets,
to a point opposite the new Ferguson or
Geis hotel, will be throe miles long,'and
all of 12 inch pipe, excepting down Elm
street, where it will be 16 inches: (all
buried four feet): and it will furnish all
the water needed at the Car Works, or
could furnish enruah for a town of 50,-
000 people. (The line down sth avenue
in Pittsburg is only 10 inches).
From the hotel a 6-inc-h 1ine.7,400 feet
long, will be run through Lyndora. the
new town now beiDg built below the
Cat Works, and outside the borough
limits.
The pipe was purchased in Cleveland.
The Co's first order was for 16,000 feet
of 12-inch, and it will take 25 tons of
lend to cement the joints.
The 12-inch line has already been laid
frcrn the hotel to the foot of Chestnut
street, and work was stopped for a day
or two this week by a strike—the men
asking an advance of from §1.75 to $2 00
a da)-.
The entire cost of the improvement
will be from forty to fifty thousand dol
lars.
The dam or reservoir at Boydstown
holds 200-millions of callous: the res
ervoil on the hill in Bntler holds 2-mil
lions gallons: the filter has a capacity of
2\ millious and has been running 1-J
millions since put in: the tile from
Boydstown to Butler is 16 and 18 inch,
and the fall 62 feet.
This new line will be conuected with
the old system through the town, and
will not only make our supply more se
cure. but also tr.ake the plant one of the
best in the countv, while the filter
makes the quality all that could be de
sired.

Washington the Most Appropri
ate City for a Re-union of tlie
ti. A. K-
How many of the grizzled and gray
haired veterans will he able to answer
the bugle call to the Nation's Capital
and once more pass in grand review
down Pennsylvania Avenue? How
many are there, alas, who, since the
last encampment at Washington ten
years ago, have been borne to their last
bivouac with muffled drums and laid to
rest under the Stars and Stripes, while
the bugle sounded taps!
Once more, and probably for the last
time, comes the call: "On to Washing
ton. " The beautiful city extends the
invitation :'.t a seasonable time—Octo
ber—when the harvesting is done and
the days are cool and crisp.
The call will be responded to with un
usual enerj-y by every veteran who can
possibly travel. What memories will
be revived what stirring scenes re
called, when their journey is via the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad—the same
old "B. & O." But it will be an easier
journey now than then, and it would be
a harder task for the "Johnnies" to
make "neckties" out of the heavy 85-lb.
steel rails than it was in '6l, to prevent
the "Yanks" from getting together.

A Nice Kitlc.
The nicest way for Butler people to
go to and come from Cambridge Springs
at present is by way of Erie and the
trolley from there to the springs town.
At Lock port on the "Bessie' the con
ductor will point oat the stone walls of
the reservoir for the old slate canal, yet
standing; and at Erie it is bur a short
walk up Myrtle street to the trolley
station. The ride through Edinboro is ;
a pleasant one, and when yon arrive at !
the station at Cambridge Springs, go '
across the way to the R. R. station and
got into the 'bus of the Kelly House,
the best resting place in the town.

RUNNING CHANCES
is the man who buys the cheap and
poorly made clothing simply because it
is cheap. There are just as good bar
gains to be had in good grades of goods,
such for instance as our S2O suits.
Running Chances is the man *ho
rushes from this "alteration sale" to
that "closing out bargains." The safe
way is to patronize the firm that does
business on the same principles you do.
You know what you have to deal with
then. You get honest goods for honest
prices, and don't save twenty-five cents
here to throw away seventy-five cents
there.
Chances are Not Running away from
you, but yon are running away from
the chances for the best bargains of the
year in suits, when you fail to look at
our suitings.
