valued very highly. This has been
found in his possession, and he has been
induced to surrender it to the public

Butter BUYERS

everywhere are refusing to take white,
lardy looking butter except at grease"
prices. Consumers want nothing but gilt
edged butter, and buyers therefore recon-
mend their patrons to keep uniform color
throughout the year by using the Improved
Butter Color made by Wells, Richardson
g. Co., Burlington, VT. 1t is the only color
thai can be relied on to never injure the

BUNGLlNG BURGLARY.
Forest cOuuty's Safe Attacked.

Last Friday morning our communi
ty was considerably stirred up ovel
the discovery that during the night
an attempt had been made to burglar.
ize the safe in the Treasurer's office
The discovery was made by officials
who came TO the court house carly in
the morning and found in passing
through the hall that the door of the
Treasurer's office had been forced
open and 10y the smell Of burnt pow.
der. Entering the room a glance at
the surroundings was sufficient to
show what had happened. The
thieves had pried the office door open,
drilled a hole through the outside safe
door close to the combination lock
and evidently exploded a quantity of
powder on the inside, but not suffi-
cient to blow the safe open, although
there were signs that the shot had
bulged the door sufficiently to break
the varnish around the rivets. Both
door.haudles and the knob which
turns the combination we're knocked
off In this condition the safe re.
mained until yesterday morning when
an expert from Pittsburgh arrived and
opened 1T. 1t was found the burglars
got no farther, for the inner doors,
made of iron about three eights of an
inch thick were unmolested, and the
books, protected by these doors, we're
rot damaged or disturbed in the
least. Having very little money in
the safe, perhaps not to exceed SIS,
Mr. Smearbaugb, the Treasurer, felt
no uneasiness except for the condition
his books and papers might be in; he
was considerably relieved to find
them all right.
As to the robbers, there is no clue.
A compass saw, screw. driver, and
piece of iron used for a punch, belong.
ing to Mr.. j. B, Eden, were found at
the entrance to The office door. No
other instruments were found, except a
drill on the platform at the depot.
Mr.. Eden's tool chest, which stood in
the Mabie building that was being
moved, was bursted open and brace
and bit taken besides the tools above
mentioned also a sledge.hammer that
had been used about the building :;
Mr.. Bennett, the wagon maker, also
finds two Of his braces missing, and
evidences that some one was in his
shop on that night.
Marks were left on the door.jam Of
the Commissioners office, indicating
that an attempt was made to get in
there. No damage was done except
to the safe, which will amount, all told,
to about $90
Our citizens should be ever on the
alert for these depredations, as there
is hardly day but we hear and read
of robbers, and many of them Of the
boldest character. Only u day or two
ago masked men entered a house
near Sligo, Clarion county, and com.
PEELED the owner to open up his safe
from which ihay stole over $4,000.
And on Monday evening last, as
family near Emlenton were seated at
the supper table. four masked men en-
tered, tied and gagged the inmates,
ransacked the house and secured about
$4,000.
