tion of the issue, reaches the following
conclusion: ''Corns are inconvenient,
but are seldom incapacitating, and when
they are the remedy is simple and with
in the reach of anyone. The soldier's
patriotism ought not to terminate with
bis military service. It should prompt
him to go to a chiropodist rather than
to the Pension Bureau."

A Spree Ends in Murder.
Some coal miners of the Mizner mint
n-ar Hilliardu had an all day drinking
bout Sunday, which ended in a drunken
br.iwl about four in the afternoon, aui]
the brawl ended in the murder of Elmei
Christie. Joseph McKean is accused.
From accounts given of the affair it i*
understood Christie and a miner named
Glad were fighting viciously when
McKean rushed in between to separate
them, pushing the combatants aside.
Christie then attacked McKean, slashed
him twice across the breast and arm.
and then walked away. McKean stood
looking at the blood gushing from his
wounds for a mouu-nr and then is said
to have exclaimed, "Just look how he
cut me. I've a notion to kill him for
that."
Some time later Christie was found
lying unconscious. His skull had been
! crushed by a blow from a rock or clnb,
J and it was apparent that he could not
; recover. Monday afteru<xm he died
McKean was then arrested by Con
stable S. C Moore and committed to
jail for trial by Justice Philip Hilliard
McKean had made 'no effort to escape
and is said to have confessed striking
the fatal blow.
Coroner Atwell was notified Monday
i afternoon ;tnd held an inquest. finding
| the facts to b- about as above given
• McKean was brought to jail by Con
: stable Moore in a bnggy Tuesday, ar
1 riving about noon. At nearly the same
i time Deputy Rainev HOOD arrived at
the j-sil with James McKean, a brother
of Joseph, whom he had arrested in the
woods of Armstrong conntv near
Yandergrift oa a charge of stezling a
cow and heifer five years ago.
The two brothers met for the first
I time in fonr • ears within the walls of
; the Bntler j iii. Jamc-s is wanted in
Mercer oui:(j al-o on a charge of horse
stealing. Joseph McKean has liirherto
borne a good reputation.

NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES.
For some days past the Pittsburg
papers have contained acconnts of the
mysterious shooting of a man named
Bruce Head, a book-kteper at the
Wabash tunnel, by a Dr. Duncan of
Louisville
Head and Duncan and his wife were
neighbors and old friends and school
mates in Lonisyille. Head came to
Pittsburg some months a«o and lived
at Greentree, south of Pittsburg Mis.
Duncan visited a female friend named
Anthony in the Enst End a month or so
aiio. Head called upon Mrs Duncan at
M:s Anthony's. Mrs. Duncan went
home and somebody (said to be a jealous
young woman) wrote Dr. Duncan a
letter. Dr. Duncan came on to Pitts
burg, during the fore part of last week,
went out to see Head, greeted him
cordially, induced him to walk to the
Crt station with him and on thp way
suddenly pulled out a pistol and shot
him. He intended shooting him in the
breast but Head caught the pistol and
the ball entered his month, cutting his
tongue. The Dr was arrested and jailed;
Head was first expected to die, but
seems to be recovering Nobody con
nected with the affair will give any
reasons for the shooting. The Gov
ernor of Kentucky wired Duncan his
sympathy and offered aid, Mrs. An
thony is said to pet a pug dog. etc. and
it looks as though the facts of the case
would ndf come out till the trial.
On the farm of J. L. Knnkle in West
moreland Co., Nature is "slipping a
cog" to repair the ruin she wrought
over three months ago.
On July 17 a heavy hailstorm passed
over the western porti >n of Westmore
land county. Fields were denuded of
their crops aud orchards were stripped
of their fruits. Mr. Knnkle's orchard
met the same fate as others within the
storm belt
The snmmer sun shone on the naked
branches anil his rays brought forth a
new blossoming. A fortnight later the
orchard was in bloom that exceeded
that of May. Little apples succeeded
the blossoms. To-day they are more
than half the normal size. There are
at least 100 bushels.

Tlieir Diamond Anniversary.
i <Treat crowds of the good people of
Butler surged through the clothing
store of Douthett & Grahaiu.last Tliurs
; day evening, admiring the beanty of
i its appointments; wondering at the im
mensity of its stock, and congratulating
the proprietors on their nnparalleled
i success. And each visitor carried away
J a carnation, as sweet to his sense of
' smell as has betn Messrs Douthett and
Graham's success to their other senses
Ten years ago. W. G. Donthett and H.
W. F. Graham formed a partnership in
the clothing business: they started in a
small way. gave close attention to their
business, have prospered amazingly,
and now have two stons. one in Butler
and one in Youngstown, in each of
which they carry a stock, worth about
$50,000.
To celebrate their Tenth or Diamond
anniversary they decided to enlarge
their store here and have an opening or
celebration, and for this their splendid
store room was brilliantly lighted, the
spacious windows were tastefully tilled
with fall clothing and gents furnish
ing, representing the latest and best
things in each line.
Within, the splendid stock was nettly
arranged upon tables and in beautiful
glass cases- The room was handsomely
decorated with plants and flowers. An
orchestra furnished music at inter
vals during the evening and thousands
of souvenirs were given away Over
fonr thousand people visited she store
during the evening Mr. Douthett stood
near the entrance aud greeted hi"
guests, shaking bands with uiost of
them. It was a notable event in But
ler's mercantile history as well HS in this
aggressi\*e clorhing house
William G. Douthett and Hart V. F
Graham, are the individual members of
this firm. Both of these gentlemen are
Butler county boys, and today stand in
the front rank in mercantile lines.
Mr Douthett was born m Forward
township in and is the son of
David and Jane E. Douthett. For some
years he had charge of his father s farm
until 1891, when he engaged in the
livery business. Two years later he
formed a partnership with Mr Graham,
established the business which has
grown from a small beginning to its
present extensive proportions.
The other member of the firm, Mr.
Graham, was born in 1860 in this city.
He brought to the present venture, a
ripe experience. First, having been em
ployed iu the Union Mills where he gain
ed a full knowledge of the details in the
manufacture of woolen goods of all
kinds, and later on was salesman for
H. Schneideman. the Clothier, and at
present has an experience which covers
1!) years.
Realizing that there was great ad
vantage in bnying in large quantities,
securing the best of terms thereby, to
the benefit of their customers, these pro
gressive and wide awake gentlemen
established in 1888 a branch store at
Youngstown. Ohio, under the personal
charge of Mr. Graham, aud the success
of this latter undertaking has been as
phenomenal and gratifying as that ot
the home store. A force of ten com
petent and courteous assistants in
Youngstown, and the same number in
the store here, attend to the various
wants of the numerous patrons of these
popular stores.
Two cardinal regulate the
business of this
to everybody, plainly marked on every
article; second, to' mate good to their
customers every garment or article, or
cheerfully refund the money if goods
should be returned. It is by fair deal
ing that their present large trade has
been established. It is a gratifying ex
emplification of the fact that integrity,
industry, aud upright dealing, directed
by gbod judgment and common sense,
compel success. With the enlarged and
handsome new store rooms, thyre will
be added facilities for their continuous
ly increasing trade.
He was Forgetful.
A well known business man in the
Third ward is noted for hisabsentiniud
edness. For several years it has caused
him a great deal of annoyance, bat on
Tuesday it capped the climax when he
went up to Oil City to make a purchase
and was about to write a check in pay
ment for the same. He forgot his name.
Think as hard as he could, he could not
think of his cognomen. He looked to
see if he had any letters addressed to
himself in his pocket. There \*ere none
He was in a quandry Finally he man
aged to remember that he had a friend
living on the South Side. He made an
excuse, went over to that part of the
town, found out who he was, returned
and filled out the check and signed it
It is needless to say that as soon as he
arrived in Franklin he had a 1000 busi
ness cards printed, and now he always
carries a pocket full of them. —Franklin
News.
Butler county, like most counties, has
its absent minded man too. He is a
well-to-do farmer, and on one occasion
rode horseback to the station, two miles
from home. When he had transacted
his business at the station he started
homo atoot, and when he reached his
home and set about putting his horse
away he remembered that he left it tied
to a hitching post at the station —Daily
Eagle.
And he is quite famous as a politician,
too.
