* City bocame so confused on our streets,
Tuesday night, that be could not find

taking business."
—Members of the Rescue Hook and
Ladder Co. who attended the Bradford

—Are you troubled with flies? Twen
ty drops of carbolic acid evaporated
from a hot shovel will banish flies
from a room quicker than all the sticky
fly paper ever manufactured. But I
be careful of the carbolic acid and don't
let the children get at it. A small piece
of camphor gum held over a lamp will
do the work equally as well.
—The grape crop along the Lake
Shore district promises to be the largest
in years; the vines are simply loaded
and the clusters are large and splendid
ly formed. Very little disease of the
yine and fruit has been reported thus
far, and unless some uuforseen damage
occurs the grape crop for 1905 will be a
record-smasher both in quantity and
quality.
—Conneaut Lake has become a very
popular place with Butlerites. About
five hundred of our people went there
with the Mason's excursion last Thurs

consisted of seven coaches, all filled.

AmusemeDt and Instruction for the
thousands who will throng the grounds.
You can't afford to miss this Fair. Make
your plans now to attend.
—The Pennsylvania experiment sta
tion at State College has examined a
sample of bran submitted by a West
moreland county farmer with a state
ment that cattle refuse to eat it, and
when they do eat it are purged, and
that hogs eating it sicken and die, one
farmer in that county having lost six
hogs in this way. Upon examination
the bran was found to contain rice
hulls.
—People who were puzzled as to the
meaning of the bill-board standing
against the front porch of the Court
House, with the figures "21" in large
red letters upon it, are informed that
it refers to the age of the building. The
old Court House was destroyed by fire
in Dec. of 1883; and the work of rebuild
)ng was begun in 1884, henoe the pres
ent building can be said to be of age,
and a voter, sometime this year. Very
few people would have remembered this
important fact had not our kind-hearted
and patriotic County Commissioners
gone to the expense and trouble of re
minding them of it in this startling
fashion, and now that the rain has
washed off the figures and pictures, the
unsightly boards should be removed.

$3 50 for a court crier is pretty good
wages for a light job.

EVERYBODY'S PICNIC,
The Big Butler Fair—August
92-25.
The Growers had their picnij, the
, Merchants had theirs, this, that anil the
' other lodge hail theirs, and now comes
| the Peoples Picnic. The Bntler
I Fair has long been recognized as the
i picniciknd rennion of all the people of
Bntler county and their friends of ad
joining counties.
There it is that you meet old friends,
many you haven't seen for years.and you
always make new ones. Besides it is
an elegant place to hold family reun
ions -the grounds are large and in fine
shape -green, with plenty of shade and
! an abundance of pure water, from drill
ed wells. Yoa can pack a basket, bring
the entire family and eat your dinter
in the pretty grove, or if you don t want
to bother with a basket you can get
meals or lunch on the grounds at a very
moderate cost. The ladies of the Grace
Lutheran church will have charge of
the large dining hall this year, and will
serve meals and lunches, commencing
today. Aug. 17 and continuing until the
Saturday following the Fair
Now, that harvest is over and the
crops, for the most part, good, every
body wants to take a holiday, and where
can you spend it with so much pleasure
and profit, and at so little cost as at the
Butler Fair.
It has long been the pride and boast
of the Butler County Agricultural As
sociation. and of all our people for that
matter, that the Butler Fair is just
what it purports to be —a grand agri
cultural exhibition, a farmers' and
stockraisers' normal school, where the
tuition is next to nothing—and not a
gambling, catch-penny device.
There will be plenty of cleaD, moral
amusement—entertaining and educa
tional -for all. young or old. In addi
tion to the fourteen classes of horses,
ten of cattle, fourteen of sheep, seven of
swine, and the numbers ia poultry,
farm implements, farm and garden pro
ducts, canned and preserved fruits,
plants and {lowers, (including a special
exhibit of rare gladiolis by Mr. Jes e
Heydrick). fine art and fancy work.
fi7 classes in all as enumerated in their
annual catalogue, there will be the fol
lowing specials— all free to everybody—
some of which cost big money to secure:
The Baruey Demarest Equestrienne
Combination, a fine, unique attraction:
the celebrated 16th Regiment Band will
fnrnish the music all four days: the
American Jubilee Singers, a company
of educated colored jubilee singers will
entertain you at various times and
places on the grounds; a large herd of
Angora goats, and otbt>r specials are be
ing negotiated for—all for 25 cents,
making it by far the biggest show you
ever saw for double the amount. And
besides you are always assured of cour
teous treatment at the Butler Fair, no
rowdyism being tolerated. ,
There will be excursions on all rail
roads and the street car people have
made a 10-foot cut in their grade to the
grounds, which will add wonderfully to
the service and safety.
Every day will be good and there
should be the largpst gathering of
friends and neighbors on the hill west
of town next week that ever assembled
in this county, which is saying a good
deal.
Entries in the stocU department are
very heavy and promise to eclipse any
former year.
The track is one of the best half-mile
tracks in the country, and the reports
from Kittauning and other places indi

them. Mamie was knocked down and
trampled on, Margaret went to her res
