Senator Grady, th<* author of the ob

ently. But the bill was passed and be

dy has been trying to undo what was
accomplished It is really astonishing
that a rn*n with such apparent con
tempt for enlightened public sentiment

Indian Hill's Wild West.
The time has come when civilization
and the inarch of progress, led bv the
great motors, steam and electricity have
nearly obliterated from tho face of
nature and this continent those features
which were its distinct characteristics
and furnished employment for a fast
expiring race the Red Man of North
America.
The Indians are disappearing;the Buf
falo has almost entirely departed; the
Prairie have become farm lands fenced
in by the hands of wire workers and
Agriculturists.
The Cowlx>y is a little more than a
common herder.
The Vacqtiero of Mexico is no longer
the symbol of splendor and Indian Po
nies, Mexican burros and other creatnres
once numerous in the Wild West are as
scarce as Bear in Massachusetts—of all
these Indian Bill has secured at gr»at
expense and trouble the best.

Dear Sir : You are interested in the
prosperity of your town, and everv dol
lar anybody saves adds to the wealth of
the place.
People can save half their money on
paint—more than half. Devoe Lead and
Zinc takes fewer gallons than mixed
paints to cover a house, and lasts twice
or three times as long as lead anl oil.
Paint is saved; labor is saved; and the
"painting nuumncy" is made half as fre
quent.
When De'oe Lead and Zinc is estah
lished in Butler Patterson Bros, will get
more out of it than we shall.
Yonrs truly,
F. W. DEVOE dfc Co.,
New York.
P. S. Patterson Bros, sell our paint.

An Object Lesson
Indian Bill's Wild West & Mexican
Hippodrome is designed to a great
purpose, namely to familiarize those
who knew them only through book-* and
papers with the factors and animals
that dwelt in the West and South His
Indians are genuine celebrities well
known through their deeds and com
plaints to Congress from time to time.
The trappers and frontiersmen will l.e
recognized as the pioneers of civilization
who with unerring skill and fortitude
unrivalled, pierced the heart of nature
and wrenched from its grasp the fertile
lands and magnificent country which
has since been spanned by great rail
way systems and converted into cities.
Tn Indian Bill's Wild West will be
phown how the settlers navigated the
vast and rolling sea of verdure in what
was known as the prairie schooner.
Will exhibit at Butler on Wednesday

WHITEHILL. Plumber.
Pupils Gave a Fine liecital.
The recital given in Y. M. C A. Hall
last Friday evening by the pupils of the
New York School of Music was a decid
ed success, the capacity of the hall he
irs; taxed to the utmost. T. H. Nichols,
the director and teacher desened the
highest praise for the good results
shown by the performers. In his solo
work, Mr. Nichols held his audience iu
breathless anticipation and at the end
of each number was compelled to re
spond to a double encore. His master
ly handling of the banjo and mandolin
was a revelation of the possibilities of
these instruments.
Miss Marguerite Rudolph and Miss
Stella Armstrong were the vocal so!o : .sts
of the evening, and as usual delighted
their hearers with the fine rendition of
several numbers. They were greeted
with a storm of applame and were oblig
ed to respond to encores
The programs throughout was most
enjoyable, and it is hoped that another
opportunity to hear Mr. Nichols will be
given to the Butler people in the near
future.
A ticket contest was held among the
pupils of the class, for which a fine
mandolin was given to the one selling
the most tickets. W. P. Welshons won
the mandolin for selling 155 tickets.
