Every cell in the Allegheny county

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

prisoners during the construction ot the

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

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.

that it was due without doubt to the
negligence of a tramp operator em

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

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

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.
