—The human race will never get over
a liking for contests in which mere
physical prowesss takes a leadiDg part,
but it has lost all interest in a system
of putting up men like gladiators to
fight when the scheme is not one to glo
rify human muscle, but to make a lot of
money for promoters. That is the con
dition of ''the ring" today. There is
little regret that the contests are becom
ing so few and that the results are so
unsatisfactory to those who put up and
get fooled.
An Alleged Murder.
Last Wednesday on the Kumbaugh
farm near Anandale station. Newton

der and Rnmbaugh and Hall, both un
der twenty years of age, were released

Letter to L. Stein ami Hon.
flutter, Pa.
Dear Sir; "Three ouarter paint" in a
good phrase for the best outside of De
von.
Devoe in the standard; mark it I'M)
The next-best—there are several not far
apart—are three-quarter paints; you
may mark them 75 to Devoe's 100.
The bnlk of the pain to in market are
40 or BO or 60; a few are better than 90;
a few are worse than 40.
How do they act? They cover from
one to three-quarters as much an Devoe;
and they last from one to three-quarters
as long as Devoe.
What are they worth? The same
rule dont hold; it coeta more to put-on
me paints than they are worth; they
are not worth anything; the "put on"
cost* two or three times as much as
the paint.
Yours truly
24 F W Devoe & Co

Doings <>f Council.
At the meeting of Council. Tuesday
evening, an ordinance opening Frank
lin St. through the Baldauf property,
fronting on Locust St was adopted.
quarterly bills aggregating nearly six
thousand dollars were approved, that
of the Water Co. being $90(5 50 and
Light Co $732.21; a great number of
sidewalks were reported iu bad condi
tion, and ordered advertised. a 24-inch
sewer is to be built from Chestnut St.
to Main and if necessary extended to
Franklin: the garbage matter is yet un
settled, and no dogs are to be allowed

A Terrible Nuisance.
The constable of Butler twp has re
turned a man named Byers for having
eighty live pius and three dead ones in
a pen. up Sullivan (or the old distillery)
run. northwest of town; and the Graud
Jury will probably return a true bill.
For some days past the people of the
western part of the town have been an
noyed by a terrible stench, the cause of
which they could not account for, but
this return probably solves the mystery.
Another way of polluting the air is by
throwing fruit parings into ontside
closets. That is done by some people
every year, and they should know bet
ter, and should be prosecuted The
sooner people learn that pofsoned air is
just as dangerous as poisoned water
the better for all

Alleged llol<l-up.
While a Baltimore travelling-man
named Dekee was lounging around the
B. & O. station here at 10 o'clock of last
Thursday night, a stranger ran up to
him and asked him to help with a wo
man who had been hurt by an accident
up the track. Dekee went with the
stranger to the overhead bridge where
hi- was held up. shot in the hand, and
robbed of his watch and $l9O. That is
his story, but it looks fishy.

A SICKLY CHILD.
A delicate constitution exposes a
:liild to all sorts of ailments. Do not
.vaste any more time and money trying
'o doctor each complaint separately.
Doctor the Constitution.
Vtn-Tone takes right hold of any
sveak system and builds a g'ood
iiealthy foundation.
It puts life and vigor into the body
and mind. *
That is what the child needs, that is
•rhat any person who is weak and
sickly needs. Vitality.
People grow thin, pale, even become
so ill they are obliged to give up their
Dccupation, when there is nothing
tyrong with them excepting they are so
tired, so weak, their vitality is so low.
To say that Vin-Tone is worth its
weight in gold to those suffering from
a lack of energy is to speak lightly of
it. It is invaluable as it begins its
work with the first dose and in a
remarkably short space of time the
patient is restored to a healthy, vigor
ous condition.
Many miserable wrecks have been
transformed into strong happy men
and women by this marvel of recent
medical discoveries, Vin-Tone.
Good for little folks and big folka
too. Pleasant to take.
