POLITICAL.
The conferees of the Washington,
Beaver, Lawrence Congressional dis
trict met in Pittsburg again, last Sat
urday, and again failed to agree upon a
method of nominating a congressman
Washington insists upon the popular
vote, while the gang which controls
Beaver and Lawrence insist upon the
conferee sybtem. In snch conference
9 Lawrence and Beaver together would
have six votes and Washington five,
and that would down Acheson, who
imam* he can poll some votes in Law
rence and Beaver, if given the chance
to do so.
The Butler and Westmoreland Con
gressional conferees will meet in Greens
bnrg, today.
THE Kearsarge steamed from a point
on the English coast to a point on the
ot Main, a distance of about 3000
miles in 9 days, which was pretty good
for a heavy battle ship. She burned
1206 tons of coal, and had 400 left. Dur
ing the trip she kept up a steady gait of
abont 14 knots, or 16 miles, an hour,
excepting when delayed by fogs and
icebergs. _ H*
AMID great excitement on the floor of
the New York stock exchange last Fri
day. the failures of two large commis
slon firms were announced. These
failures were due to the decline in the
values of railroad and other shares in
which the firms were speculating, and
flan to the fight being made on Keene
* by the Goulds and Rockefellers.
THE special value of hickory, chest
nut and walnut lumber leads a writer
in A recent number of the Nut Grower
to urge the planting of nut trees for
their timber value, which same will in-
produce a valuable by product
In the nuts grown, thus making such
- a plantation a valuable property years
before its maturity for lumber. This
i harvesting of annual nut crops obviates
to a-great extent the impediment in the
way of planting for lumber only, which
in the nature of things is a long time
investment. One who plants and cares
for his nut grove is rewarded during
his own day by the annual nut crops,
and his children have a valuable herit
age in the lumber. The present is none
too toon to begin planting for such pur
poses. The consumption of lumber of
all kinds is increasing much more
{ rapidly than in proportion to the in
' nrnasn of population. In fifty years the
. United States may have double its
present population, and who can predict
whaft the demand for black walnnt,
chestnut or hickory lumber may be by
that timet All this has been sung more
or less in every paper in the land for
mars, and yet without effect. There
I I* one influence at work which prevents
I* mat from being in earnest about tree
planting and that is the feeling that it
taksa a tree so long a time to grow that
4' the planter will be dead before it comes
to maturity. But this is no excuse for
the young farmer who has un till able
Ina. Ten years go very quickly,
ir Sf«xt vear we will be electing another
President Think how quickly four
i years pass away T The best investment
I any young man can make who either ex
p pects to hve on the old homestead or
•suit is to plant walnut, hickory, beech
or oak cm any land he has or hillside
* which cannot be cultivated. A forest

Hay and Snakes
The mowing machines have been go
v in* -at a lively clip, this week, and
thousands of tons of the best of hay has
- A Utile of it was caught in the show
' er of yesterday noon, but as a rule the'
Ittif wentinasdry ancr sweet as could
There have been no fatalities in the
<ui<u of the county this year, and the
" only thing remarkable, as reported, is
the itunber of biacksnakes, some of
them several feet long, that were cut
" to pieces by the machines.
Blacksnakes are harmless reptiles, and
t.» their principal diet is field mice, some
fi' mere avoid killing them if possible.
... ta the days of the rattlers it was dif
ferent, everybody killed a rattlesnake
..aright, and looked for more.
The greatest slaughter of rattlers we
• rer heard of in this county, happened
| in Penn twp. quite a number of years
Fred Winters had a ten-acre field of
T. grasa, and as he was away from home
: it was allowed to stand till August.
' ™ The ground was low-lying and some
what awampy, and the rattlers of the
I whole township, with representatives
from adjoining townships gathered
' there to hold a convention; and just
*"1 about that time Fred camt home, and
1 got Win Dixon to mow it.
Win went in and went aroqnd the
field once and then thinking something
, was the matter with his cutter, lifted it
nod tound it hanging full of snakes,
rnttlers, cat to pieces, while thousands
Of others had their heads up in the
grass seeing what waa going on. But
Win was a brave boy and he went ahead
and mowed that field, killing ten-thous
; and snakes as he went along—each six
- ieet long— at least that was his count—
' and there were no licensed houses in
Butler then, while Zelienople was a
dozen miles away.
Next day Win and Fred went into
c the field to load the hay. Fred pitched
- it on and Win laid it, and things went
•long all right until a rattler who had
uiissed the cutter dropped from a fork
full and Fred killed him. Then Win
hen rd one hissing at the front end of
the load and killed it, and another hiss
iit« at the rear end of the load and kill
ed it, and then discovered that he was
Matding on a bunch of them. That
tritred him and he leaped over the front
et'tl of the load to the horses, unhitched
hli t went home. His hair has been
white ever since.
Winters quit too. but he bundled up
his feet and legs next day, and went out
and saved that hay.
Swindled School Teachers.
One of the latest and meanest schemes
of t'ct-rich-quick concerns has recently
be*-h exposed in New York. It was lo
cated at No. 12 Wall Street, and bore
the title ofthe "American Finance an d
Mortgage Co. " Miss De Grato. a Cleve
land school teacher, was the first to file
a specific complaint against the concern.
Sh- said she began to receive circulars
from these swindlers last October. They
represented that they bought stocks
out right and not on margin and that
S ' hev had a recarve fund of #131,000 with
\ which to meet losses. After a time
M s*" De Grate sent on a small sum for
inv* stment. In due time she received
a"<iividend" of a handsome percentage
on lier investment She was induced to
let ■ he original amount advanced lie for
reinvestments. Then she received an
other handsome "dividend. " Itseemed
to ie a pretty good thing She told her
friends about It until at the end there
w»re forty or fifty Cleveland school
teachers with money put up with the
"American Finance and Mortgage C 0.,"
Amounting in all to about $20,000.
When the scheme"blew up'' she came to
New York and learned, too late of the ;
manner in which she had been swindled, j
The N. Y. police advanced her money i
with which to return to Cleveland.—
TlAwfolr I
Explosion ;it Brewery.
One of the most dtetres*rag accidents
in the history of Butler occurred at the
new brewery about five o'clock last
Thursday evening. Three men, Euiil
Yoist. aged 35 years, boss painter, of
New York City, George Freil, aged 40
years, cooper at the Brewery, and
Julius Finn, a yonng Jew of Buffalo,
N. Y., were engaged at painting the
interior of one of the big vats in the
stock cellar into which the beer, after
brewing, is run to cooL
The material used in painting was a
«hellac or varnish, commonly used to
paint the interior of beer vats. One of
the principal ingredients is wood alcohol
which is highly volatile and combust
able- On this account the vat was full
of the vapors of the paint and the men
could not use an open light at their
work, but an electric lieht on a loose
wire was earned into the vat to enable
them to see.
In some way the glass bulb of the
electric light was broken, a terrible t
plosion occurred and the men found
themselves at the Iwttoin of a furnace
of seething flames. Finn climbed out
first and was least burned. As fast as
they could the others followed. Out
side John Zeigler, William Neidell and
others who were about cut and tore the
burning clothes from the unfortunate
men. Ambulances and doctors were
sawmoDed and the men taken to the
Hospital. Strips of flesh pealed from
their bodies with their clothes.
At 8 a. m. Friday morning Fnel died
being smothered to death by dropsy of
the larnyx, -caused by inhaling the
flames. Two hours later \oist died.
He also had breathed in the flames into
his lungs. .
Friel and his wife and daughter lived
in one of the Zahradneck houses on the
Three Degree road. He moyed from
Pittsburg to Butler but a few months
ago and his remains were taken to
Pittsbutg by his brother for bnnal.
Yoist was to have finished his work
and left Butler Friday evening for
New York City where he expected to
meet his family on their arrival home
from Germany where they have been
visiting. Hia body was shipped to
New York, Saturday.
Julius Finn, the last of the three
men bnrned, died in the Hospital, Sat
urday night. A stronger yitality en
abled him to fight off death longer than
the other men.
The tank in which the horror oc
curred is one of the worst death traps
imaginable. It and ten others similar
occupy the stock cellar. They are
simply big wooden barrels or tanks,
about 20 feet in length, 12 or 15 in
diameter and lying on their sides. In
the end and near the floor is an oval
hole 12x18 inches, about as large in re
lation to the tank as a bung hole is to a
barrel. Into this hole the men had to
crawl and drag their materials, ladders
and lights after them and through it
they had to crawl after the explosion.
The light was absolutely necessary
to enable the men to see what they
were doing as the interior of the tanks
are as dark as Egypt.

OIL NOTES.
The Market—For Pennsylvania got
another boost of 3 cents last Thursday
noon, and the price was $1.56.
Clearfield—The Forest Oil Cos No. 1,
on the James McAvov, a wildcat, came
in last Thursday and was reported at
100 barrels at 1000 feet. The farm is
located in the Southern part of the
township, and the reported strike
caused a rnste for leases on that vicinity,
but the Forest, and Phillips got nearly
everything, and Phillips made locations
on the Nugent and Berg. Phillips drill
ed a well within a stone-throw of this
new well, a dozen years ago The well
was reported as doing 2J barrels per
hour or about 50 a day. yesterday.
Speechley—Near Magic Nickels &
McGill during the past week have
brought in two good Speechley wells on
the Emery and on the Presley Murtland.
They have wells drilling on the Murt
land and R. P. Black, and the Southern
is drilling two on the Roxberry which
are nearly down and one each on the
Balsiger and Reed heirs.
Texas—Oil at ten cents a barrel has
been offered at Sour Lake, and a price
of five cents is generally predicted. It
is not believed however, that the pro
ducers are willing to repeat the follv of
Spindle Top operators and make long
time contracts for the delivery of oil at
two and three cents a barrel. Beaumont
is likewise passing through an era of
depressed prices and the bottom of the
fuel oil market appears not yet to have
been reached. —Derrick.
CHURCH NOTES.
The "Ring of the Fisherman," a very
old signet ring, used by the popes, for
centuries, to seal Papal "Bulls,'' and
also one of the outwaid signs of his
authority, was stolen from the dead
Pope's hand, by an unknown person
The members of the U. P. church of
Butler, entertained their new pastor.
Rev. Robinson, at a lunch and reception
at the church, last Friday evening.
The death of a somewhat celebrated
clergyman, E. Walpole Warren, of New
York, but formerly of England, calls to
mind the fact that some twenty years
ago he was a great issue in the country.
It was just after the passage of the the
contract-labor law that he was called to
the pulpit of a leading church in New
York, and the effort was made to keep
him out on the ground his selection
was in violation of the Federal statute
Strange as such a claim seems, it is a
fact that the lower courts sustained the
contention, and for a time there was
a lively prospect that Dr. Warren
would have to go home or pay a great
fine, or perhaps do both. The Supreme
Court, however, decided that the law
did not cover clergymen, and so he re
mained and became a popular pastor.
Three More Airships for the ST
Louis Contest
Three more airships have been invent
ed and will be entered in the World's
Fair aerial tournament to compete for
the grand prize of SIOO,OOO.
W. M. Morris, a Monte Vista, Col,
mining engineer, is one of the contest
ants. His machine will be 30 feet in
diameter and 150 feet long when fully
rigged. Aluminum will be the mater
ial used in its construction, but no gas
bag will be used as in other flying ma
chines.
E. A Kindler, a Denver Col., man has
completed a model for an airship and
conducted a satisfactory test. He will
enter it in the contest for the SIOO,OOO
prize at the Fair. Safety appliances
are a feature of the airship. Canvas
flaps three feet wide extetnd entirely
around the balloon as on Stevens' air
ship. These are limp except in case of
sudden descent, when they open out
like umbrellas or parachutes and are
large enough to check descent to a gen
tleness devoid of danger should the gas
bags fail completely. Motive power is
furnished by a storage battery. The
framework, which is made of aluminum
and light steel tubbng, with the moior,
battery and propellor, which is six feet
from tip to tip and has four blades, will
weigh about three hundred pounds. A
test was made recently of the mode!.
The machine is said to have described :v
circle about fifty feet in diameter, ris
ing, dipping, and finally descending to
its moorings without a hitch in it*
mechanism.
Streator, 111., will be represented in
the aerial tournament by an airship
planned by Mr. Reiferscheid, of that
town. Reiferscheid's machine consists
of a balloon pointed at both ends and
lying in a horizontal position. Around
ttlta "balloon mo ntilps of aluminum
strong enough to make a substantial
framework. At each end are the pro
pellors, six in all. to be used in raising
and lowering the machine and to assise
in guideing it. A six horse-power gas
oline motor will provide the power
and the balloon will be filled with hydro
gen gas and hermetically sealed.
Large fans will provide a safety device
which will permit the ship to slowly
descend in case the balloon collapses. [J

Frank W. Holls. who was liorn in
Zelienople in 1857, was found dead in
his bath-tub, at his home in Youker -.
X. Y., last Thursday morning. He was
first Secretary, and afterwards a mem
ber of the U. S representation on the

1). H. WTJL.LER.
Word was recived in Butler, yester
day. of the death of I). H. Wuller, at a
private sanatarium at Cuyahoga Fall-,
0., at an early hour that morning, of
paralysis, and Mr. Roessing, the under
taker, went on to take charge of the
body.
Dan. was born in Butler, was the
eldest son of the old music teacher and
has been in tbe drug bnsiness here since
boyhood, but he made the bulk of his
fortune by a lucky oil strike at Coopers
town.
A year or so ago he became erratic in
his action, and speech, and was sent to
Warren Asylum, when he remained for
several months. After his release he made
a will, which wiil lead to further litiga
rion regarding his estate. Becoming
affected again, he, upon the advice of
his attorneys, went to this sanatorium,
leaving his store in charge of his
brother.
His wife secured a divorce some years
ago, and remarried, but he leaves two
children—a son and a daughter. He
was about 53 years of age.
i'ain's "Last Days OJ Pompeii".
Pain's gorgeous pyrotechnic spectacle
'Last days of Pompeii," which is being
presented in Pittsburg at Exposition
Park, under the auspices of Pittsbur?
Lodge No. 11. B. P. O. Elks, for twelve
nights, commencing Monday, July 27th.
and following so quickly on the heels
of the more recent catastrophe of Saint
Pierre, Martinique by the eruption of
Mount Pelee, will make the Pompeiau
spectacle all the more interesting. One
sensation follows another so qnickly in
this stirring open-air exhibition that in
terest is kept up at the highest pitch
until 'the final tragic culmination
which depicts in a startling manner
t; e awful catastrophe of ancient time*
when by volcano and earthquakes tbe
proud city of Pompeii went down ia
ruins and total destruction. This
scene is a triumph of pyrotechnic art,
and so thrilhngly realastic in its execu
tion that the spectator finds it difficult
to realize for the time being
that he is not gazing upon
a terrible reality, instead of a
mimic catatrophe As the scenes of
festivity near an end, in the more gayer
portion of the spectacle, low but distant
and awe-inspiring rumblings are heard,
and a column of black smoke appears
from the treacherous mountain-top of
Vesuvius that looms high above the set
nic city in the background. These rum
blings increase until they become a ser
ies of tremendous internal explosions
and soon the volcano emits a cat
clysm of real fire and lava, th;it
rushes down the mountain side in tor*
rents and engulfs that fated city and its
helpless people, who are seen flocking to
places of safety. Massive triumphal
arches, temples and palaces topple ai: 1
fall with a crash and where but a few
moments before all was life and gaiety,
is now a smoldering mass of chaos and
ruins. The ingennity of the skilled
pyrotechnist and electrician is combin
ed in this startling scene and the result
is certainly "vividly realistic" enough
to more than satisfy the most enthusi
astic lover of the sensational. The spec
tacle is followed nightly by Pain's sl,-
000 fireworks display of many new feat
ures and innovations never seen before.

LIARS
OF co^P6TITORS
If they told the truth con
cerning my pianos, myself, and
my way of doing business I
would sell all of the pianos
that are sold in Butler.
When a party comes to you with a
story concerning my business, ask them
to call at my store with you and repeat
it in iny presence.
I am here for business, and I am hap
uy to say I have lots of it. My patrons
are my friends, I always refer to
them. Ask them.
I can give yon a list of over 'IOO
patrons to whom I have sold pianos
since I came here four years ago.
And if you will find any of them who
will say that I have not been honorable
in all my dealings with them. I will
present you with a piano.
Trusting to have my just share of your
patronage, I am yours for business.
Your credit is good at
