Found Dead.

While working in a grain field on the
Slater place, near Carbon Centre last Mon
day morning, man discovered the body
Of woman lying in the swamp. He went
to the pump station of the Transit Co. and
made known his discovery and word of il
was sent To Sheriff Rcdic, who in turn in
formed the Coroner, and he Immediately
went out and held an inquest.
The body was in too advanced "A stage OF
decomposition to allow of an examination,
but the clothing was identified as that OF
Mrs. Biddy Whelan, daughter of John
McGrady of the vicinity, and who for some
time had been living in Pittsburg When
last seen alive she had just left the ears al
the station and had started TO walk across
the fields to her parents residence on the
Slater farm. This was on the evening OF
the 25th of July, and nothing being known
Of the circumstances of her death the jury
so state in their report. Esq. Keck took
a coffin out and buried the body next day.
We are sorry that the hustle is going
out of fashion, AS a moderate sized one
adds much to the appearance of the aver
age woman. The hustle should stay, but
should go.-BuTLER CITIZEN We are
willing to defer To the Judgment of brother
Negley, yet to use homely expression, we
are inclined to think that some women
xx-;tI n
like the devil in brush heap" The
ladies can safely be depended on to look
after these side issues for themselves
Mercer Press The hustle is not ''side
issue" it's a back issue, being worn by
the ladies of Butler some distance below
the backs of their nccks If the ladies oI
Mercer wear their bustleS on their Sides OF

Now that nearly all the men are wear
ing flannel shirts, and as soon as the
weather gets colder the women will be do
ing tho same, it might be well TO know
how flannel should be washed. OF course
some women will turn up their noses and
say "What do editors know about wash.
ingf" But some editors are smarter than
they look. 1t is discouraging for man to
put on flannel SHIRT, after it has been
washed the first time and find the affair
too short, by three or four inches; aud ev-
cry time il is improperly washed it get
shorter till it is only fit to send to the hea-
then who wear nothing but a shirt and tho
shorter it j. the better they like it #
flannel is properly washed the first time
it will not afterwards shrink. The proper
way is to souce the garment into hot SOAP
5uds-ncyer rubbing it-put it repeatedly
through wringer. The garment should
never be wrung with the hands and should
never be put in cold water.

The Firennen.

The parade of the Hose Companies last
Thursday night was one of the prettiest
sights ever seen in Butler, and the sturdy
appearance of the firemen themselves,
combined with their record, give the citi-
zens of this town as full sense of security
against fire as is probably held by the citi-
zens Of any town in the country. We all
feel proud of onr Fire Departmental can't
be beat in the United States, either foI
appearance or work.
Their festival was a great success, and
with the money made in the bicycle contest
netted the new organization the handsome
sum OF $6s7l4
Mr.. Bailey's friends collected the most
money and the bicycle was awarded to
him.
At meeting of the J. 5. Campbell Hose
Co, Tuesday evening the following reso-
luton was passed.
