Group can be prevented. True, Group never
appears without warning. The first
symptom is hoarsenesss; then the child
appears to haye taken oold or cold may
have accompanied the hoarseness from the
start. After that peculiar rough cough
is developed, which is followed by the
Group. The time to act is when the child
first becomes hoarse; few doses of

the attack. Even after rough cough has
appeared, the disease may be prevented by
using this remedy as directed. For sale by

On Tuesday evening of this week three
Pittsburg business men-a Wholesale IL
quor man, a wholesale clothing man land a
wholesale grocer-arrived in Butler by the
last train. They We're in jolly good hu-
NOR, and they wended their way up street,
gripsaoks in hand, joking and laughing, to
the hall of certain business building and
started in. The owner of the building hap
pened to be standing in the doorway, and
he asked them if they had not made mis-
take, but they guessed not and went on,
and he, having heard some compla ints re-
garding the doings in one of his rooms,
which he had rented TO a dressmaker, fol-
| lowed them and saw them enter the room
| Then he called the Chief of Police. and
told him to go to that room and arrest
everybody in it, and the Chief did So and
! a few minutes after the whole crowd
| three men and two women were i'll the
/ Justices office, and an information was
made against the dressmaker, who gives
her name as r. n. Thompson, for disorder
| ly conduct and she was fined sl3. The
A4HVl man pdlu tHc liilef anu Tue NoLudu
| promised to vacate the premises. The
| name of the other woman who was arrest
ed is Mcdowell, but no charge was made
against her.
\ third woman arrived on the scene just
too late too be arrested, and stood outside
the Justices Office during the hearing, and
the grocer said he could not see why he
should have been arrested when his girl
had not come yet.
By the way Esq. MeAboy had an unusu-
ally busy day, Tuesday:-Early in the
morning married woman of Butler made
information against her husband for deser-
tion, and a warrant was issued for him;
next young widow of the west end, NAM

and held for court; then came the wedding
of an Allegheny county couple; then two
hearings in collection cases;t then a charge of
