—Nine new freight cars were demol
ished in a West Pen wreck at Dilks
last evening.
Tinntfrn mpeclvl for Kisfcer i
are set forth in this paper, and should

—The tri-ennial election of a County
Superintendent of Public Schools will
occur in this town on Tuesday, May
2nd.
—Puddles after a rain indict the
highways they are found in. Good
roads, such as the State makes for those
who have them, have no puddles.
—Dirty streets, filthy alleys, old and
disinfected water-closets, decaying gar
bage, etc., pollute the air and spread
disease. All these things should be
looked after immediately; as this com
paratively new disease called cerebro
spinal-meningitis or spotted fever is
rapidly spreading over the entire coun
try.
—The storm of Monday noon was the
cause of a remarkable occurrence in
Butler. The wind got in behind the
large pine door that comprises the
greater part of the front of the shed of
the Nace livery stable on Clay street;
lifted it up, tore it from its binges and
carried it diagonally across the street to
the rear end of the Kirkpatrick grocery,
where it hit a telephone post and de
scended. grazing the head of a school
girl as it did so. Mr. Nace, at first,
thought of using his unpatented air
ship for atrial excursions, this summer,
but on second thought resolved to stick
to his livery business, which is one of
the bast in Butler.
—Some years ago'some of the young
men of this town got iu tbe habit of
taking a "cannibal sandwich" with
their beer, of an evening. These sand
wiches consist of a layer of Hamburger
steak (raw meat) covered with mustard,
between two slices of bread or biscuit;
and shortly after this habit became
common, about a hundred cases of tape
worm appeared in the town, which, the
doctors traced to the rare and raw meat
eaten. A tape-worm does the victim no
harm, but it increases the appetite so
inordinately as to become an expensive
nuisance; and then a little fasting and
one dose of the proper medicine—pow
dered pomegranate bark—followed by a
dose of salt 9 causes it to disappear. But
an Italian medical man has lately made
the discovery—or rather claims to have
made it—that a tape-worm in the sys
tem is a sure cure for tuberculosis,com
monly called consumption, and if this
proves true there will probably be a
boom in tape-worms.

Letter to Dr. ilulin C. Aber
llutlcr Pa.
Dear Sir. A big mill-owner, Spartans
burg. S C, wanted 5,000 gallons of paint,
and bought by price; paid 5 cents less
than ours; got a "lead and zinc" paint;
but the lead was sulphate of lead, not
carbonate. Sulphate costs about half;
and covers aljout half.
That paint was adulterated al>out six
times as much as the 5 cents paid for.
He "saved" Scents; and it cost him 30.
Oh no; it cost hitn more than that; we
forgot the lalior. Can't work it out ex
actly; don't know how long it'll wear.
Short-measure besides; that alone was
twice as much as his "saving" 5 cents.
It was thin, too; some loss there;
don't know how much.
There was too much drier in it. The
maker made something on that; he
didn't.
Taking it altogether, he didu't make
much on that 5 cents.
Go by the name: the name is Devoe
lead-and-zinc.
Yours truly
F W Devoe & Co

P. S. Patterson Bros, sell our paint.

This preparation is famous as a sys
tem builder and general tonic. Our
preparation differs from all others of
the same name, bet ause we use pre
digested beef, the best sherry wine, and
the iron is in such form that it is quick
ly taken into the system. It is pleasant
to take and prompt in action, making
rich, red blood.
Do You Require a Tonic?
Are you weak, worn out, tnn down
»nd nervous? Is your blood thin and
impure? Are you pale and haggard,
lips white? Do you become exhausted
from every little effort, your sleep rest
less, your appetite poor? If you have
any of these symptoms use our Beef,
Iron and Wine. If the result is not
satisfactory we will gladly return your
money. Price. 50 cents a pint-
