Every cell in the Allegheny county jail is occupied and almost every male prisoner is just now heaving sighs cf re lief because of the near approach of that time when he will not have to look all day upon a guard armed with one of those terrible riot gnus. The new jail is fast approaching completion, but until the last stone is laid Warden Edward Lewis will maintain the un usual guard he has had over the prisoners during the construction ot the annex. It will probably surprise even the all knowing prisoners to learn that the dreadful riot gun. whose muzzle points their way, was the famous weapon which dealt death to the Biddies near Butler. The gun is really a repeating rifle carrying four shells, eacfi shell being loaded with eight buckshot, any one of which is sufficient to kill. In Africa and India they call them ele phant guns because of their ability to destroy the largest game. —Ex At Chicago, Monday, in the longest indictment kuown to the history of the world, the Standard Oil Company was charged by two Federal grand juries with accepting rebates from seven rail way companies. The charges are con tained in ten indictments, comprising 0,428 separate offenses. The charges are brought under the in terstate commerce law and the compa ny is liable to be fined from #6.428,000 to $128,500,000 if convicted of all the of fenses. The statute fixes the punish ment for each offense at a fine of from SI,OOO to $20,000. Added to the indict ments returned at Jamestown, N. Y., the oil trnst faces the possibility of pay ing the United States the vast sum of $131,080,000, as punishment for the of fense of monopolizing the oil industry, by means of rebates secured from rail road companies "Whenever two trains crash into each other the way those two did on the Bessemer & Lake Erie, Saturday, some one is responsible," declared Coroner Joseph G. Armstrong, of Pittsburg, Monday, "and we propose to find out who it is. Following the coroner's firm stand on ttie question Deputies Harry Lowe, Ainbos and Kennedy, of Allegheny, who investigat ed the wreck on Saturday in which Fireman Brady E. Cole and O. A. Deemer were killed, reported Monday that it was due without doubt to the negligence of a tramp operator em ployed'as a towerman near the scene of the rvrecfe. This man haR disappeared.

The coroner will also make a thorough inquiry into the employment of transient operators in such re sponsible positions. PROPERTY TRANSFERS. Jos B Bredin to Wm Koslowskv lot in Butler twp for £3OO.

Letter to J E White, Butler, Pa. Dear Sir: Here's a tale with three or four tails to it. Professor Irvine has an Academy, Mercersburg, Penn. He paints the floors in summer vacation. It used to take 90 gallons of paint. There were two paint-stores there, and he used to buy (one year of one, next year of the other) 90 gallons year after year. Now he paints Devoe; 60 gallons; and the difference is a saving of $l5O a year. H C Fajlon was one of those dealers, good man; but he wouldn't take-up Devoe; so we turned to the other, J A Boyd. But Fallon has found it neces sary to get a good paint to compete with Devoe. He got one of the eight honest painta. He has a big hardware store and is doing an excellent hardware business; but Boyd, of course, has the run on paint—he's a little hardware man. We don't care how little or big a man is, if he wants good paint and is active and sound. Yours truly 10 F W DEVOE & CO P. S The Butler Decorating Co. sells j our paint. : I have moved my dental parlors trom the Miller building to the second floor of the new Odd Fellows' Temple, where my patrons and friends will be welcome. FORD H HAYS, Doctor of Dentistry. Echoes of tlif Fair. The success of the Bntler Fairs, so far ! as attendance 'sconcerned is remarkable ' —no matter what the weather, the peo ple come. ; Last Thursday they came to Butler j "in great gangs from all directions," 1 and crowded the town, the majority i taking their dinners in town thongh j many passed right through to the Grounds, where they fared better so far as waiting for their meals was concern ! | The train from Foxburg consisted of ! two engines and ten crowded coaches, that morning, and part of it had to go ; back to Chicora for thos" left at the sta ! tion there. The crowd that passed down Main | street were, as a rule, as good looking | and well dressed people as there are in I this world. But there were some odd specimens—one youDg tellow wore u neck tie bnt no collar, anil two girls had their hair blonded in front but not be hind. The heat of day was intense and the people suffered from it—also the ani mals One race horse fell, and soon after died. A collision marred one of the races, and a driver was hurt. An automobile hauled people from Butler to the grounds at 50 cents each. Jennings auto run around the track twice, making a mile, iu 1 minute and 36 seconds. Ruby's horses were a novelty, and he sold three of them. There was some bunkoing done dur ing the week, but not much. The bird man did a good business. TOO BIG TO I'AKADIv A circus that is "too big to give a street parade" is a novelty even in these days of colossal enterprises and mam moth amusement institutions. But that is the announcement of the Barnum & Bailey circus, which exhibits in But ler. Monday, Sept. 10th. In speaking of the reasons for this striking innovation, a representative of the big show, said recently: "The Barnum <Sr Bailey circus has become so large that a parade is no longer possible or even desirable. If we could be abso lutely sure of getting into town by day break, the parade would etill be feasible, but with our five long traios of cars, this is tx> much to expect of the rail road companies. In many instances it is 8 or 9 o'clock before the Li*r section arrives, and 10 o'clock before it is un loaded and the paraphernalia trans ferred to the show grounds. This leaves just sufficient time to erect the big tents and prepare for the afternoon perform ance. To take several hundred men away from the show grounds at the mo6t critical time in the morning, iu order to give a parade, would mean de lay to opening, and consequent discom fort to the public. To compel thous ands of people to stand out in front of the entrancs, in the hot sun or rain, be cause the giving of the parade has de layed the opening for an hour or more, is positively cruel; but there is frequent ly no help for it when parades are given. By eliminating the parade the public is also saved a long and often uncomfort able wait on the streets pending the al ways more or less delayed procession, which at best has nothing new to offer, to say nothing of the interference with public traffic and the business of the city's merchants. Many municipal gov ernments have recognized the later facts by either refusing to give licenses for parades, or by making the tax so high as to be prohibitive. Street parades were all right when circuses were small, and were necessary from an advertising standpoint. The Barnaul & Bailey show is too well-known to need advertising of this character, and instead of wasting time and energy on a conventional street display, every effort is concen trated upon the performance.'' The Barnum & Bailey circus is the only one that has had the courage to cut out the parade. Another veil-known showman, when asked if his show would follow suit, replied: "I would like to, but I can't. The Barnum & Bailey circus is the only one that is big enough to do it. j And it is evident that it has introduced this innovation in the circus world because the show nives popular satisfaction without ihe aid of what is at best a conventional display of so-called pageantry. The absence of the parade is more than compensated for by this year's big arenic acts and "thrillers." There are a number of big sensations, and the structural steel used in these startling acts alone utilizes the carrying capacity of several railroad cars. Incidentally, it is announced that a splendid free show will be given on the exhibition grounds daily at 11 and 3 o'clock, by Prince Youturkey, a remarkable per former on an elevated wire-cable.
