Missionary Institute.
When the Y. M. C. A. of Butler an
nounced that under its auspices, with
the indorsement of the Ministerial As
sociation, a Missionary Institute would
be held it was quite hard to convince
the people of Butier that this institute
was to be a thing of much importance.
But the persons who heard the men
who presented this great cause are most
enthusiastic about it and its influence
Men of the ability of J. Campbell
White, E. T. Colton and A. F Hoff
somtner are very seldom gotten to a

China, as well as some of tho principal

sition at the request of the chnrch at

MAJESTIC I'HKATKE.
Lafayette—January 20th.
Among the many novel features that
will be introduced by The Great Lafay
ette, daring his engagement at the Ma
jestic Theatre, Friday, January 20th,
will be his latest conception ' 'The Peari
of Bhutan" in which he introduces
Grand Opera, Comic jOpera, Circus,
Vaudeville, Burlesque, Pantomiue and
Extravaganza, in which a large number
of handsome young women are intro
duced in songs and dances. The costum
ing alone has cost many thousand dol
lars.
Under Southern Skies—January 21.
One of the unusual features of Lottie
Blair Parker's play of Southern life is
that the women of the cast outnumber
the men. As a rule the reverse is the
cose in dramatic offerings. The presence
of so many women upon the scene is
one of the attractions of the play,
especially as many of them are young
and pretty. The birthday party of the
youthful heroine, and the Hallowe'en
festivities, which include the carrying
out of some amusing Hallowe'en tricks
and a Jack-o-lantern dance, give fine
scope for showing the feminine mem
bers of the company to advantage.
Manager Burkhalter has secured this
very successful play and it will be seen
at Majestic, matinee and night, on
Saturday, Jan. 21st.
"The Mummy and the Hamming
Bird," which will be presented here
soon conveys no idea of its character by
its title. It is an absorbingly human
play with a high moral to it.
The Oayety—Pittsburg.
The Volunteer Organist—Next Week.
Harry Martell'o big dramatic su cceas,
"The VolunteerOrga«ist"will be heat
traction at the Gayety Theatre, next
week. It is of pastoral order and an
idyll in its way. The story is simple,
and is blended with genuine comedy
and exceptional pathos

Benjamin W. Breriiii, Esq.
The Franklin, Venango County, Pa.,
News, of January 9, inst., contains an
article concerning the above gentleman
that we take pleasure in noticing. Mr
Bredin was born and raised in Butler
and went to Franklin when a young
man, about 40 years ago. His integrity
and usefulness as a citizen were soon
recognized there and he was elected
to the Council of that town, and re
elected and kept in the Council for
abont 30 years. Duriog his services in
that body he helped to drive out the
boodler and to detect the unjust jobs in
troduced by the speculators. From the
account given of his services as a
Councilman by the News, a paper pub
lished there, he was the foe of all cor
rnption and the supporter of "a square
deal" to all, nothing more and nothing
less. There are probably other towns
not for distant that need just such
Councilmen &.s Benjamin W. Bredin
and we feel pride in learning of the suc
cess of our former Butler boy.

Oil anil Gas Notes.
The Market—On Thursday last, and
for the third time within a month the
Standard made another cnt of 5 cents
in the price of erode, and the price was
#1.45 for the Penn'a product. The
cheaper grades suffered a redaction of
8 cents each, making the quotation for
North Lima 98 cents and South Lima
:.nd Indiana, 03 cents. Kansas and
Indian Territory %vere reduced a like
amount. South Neodesha and Dartles
ville, the better grades of the Middle
West fields, are quoted at 77 cents, and
Kansas heavy at 36 cents.
A year ago the price was $1.85 and
these reductions will probably cause a
suspension of all drilling.
Yesterday another cut of 3 cents was
made and the price is $1.42.
Kansas—Smith & Dean, the success
ful female operating firm in the Kansas
oil field, have made another good strike
aud the Coffeyville Record rises to re
mark that the stories sent out picturing
them as two young and beautiful misses
with money to burn, who havo come
west in the hope of recuperating their
health, are all bosh. Instead they are
both married and neither is very yonng.
Mrs. Dean of New York and Mrs.
Smith of Kansas City, rre each in tht;
neighborhood of foity years of age.
Texas Mr. Holland S. Reavis, editor
of the Oil Investors' Journal of Beau
mont, Texas, has prepared a careful
and exhaustive articte oa the situation
in the Texas and Louisiana oil fields for
the past year. The total production of
Texas for 1904 is placed at 19,444,300
barrels and of Louisiana at 9.608.661
barrels. This makes the total yield of
feel oil in the Gulf region fields for
1904, 26,053,044 barrels. The stock on
hand at the close of the year are esti
mated at 7,500,000 barrels in Texas and
4,1)00,000 barrels in Louisiana. The
Texas-Louisiana oil beit extends from
Jennings, Louisiana, to Batson, Texas,
a distance of 125 miles, but the total oil
yield of over 26,000,000 barrels for the
year came from an area of less than 700
acres.
