To Hog Breeders and RaiSCrS:
We have been solicited by the publishers OF
THE ADVOCATE to write series OF articles on
the above subject.
We do not propose to tire our readers with
long-winded essay on the subject Of "What Hog
Cholera Is" We leave that for the learned doc
tors to dispute about.
We will rather devote our time to "What
Causes Cholera, and How to Cure It."
If were to say what we believe Hog Cholera
to be, we would say that primarily 1t Is disease
OF the stomach and bowels; that ir is TO the hog
what typhoid fever Is to man; that as typhoid fe-
yer Is often complicated by other diseases, par
tlcularly pneumonia, the same Is true Of Hog
Cholera. Some hogs will only show symptoms
Of bowel trouble, while others will show by
coughing and "thumping" that the lungs are az
fected. Some VIII die very soon after being at
tackled, while others will Enger for several days;
the reason Is the acuteness OF the attack. We
believe that the principal cause Is indigestion,
and could give a number OF reasons for this be-
lief II space permitted. We viii give one or two:
First, Cholera seldom attacks herd Of hogs
that are fed carefully and with view to making
them valuable as breeders; that ls we rarely
hear OF breeders herd getting Cholera, and II
1t does it can be accounted for by the intrOduc-
tiOn OF diseased purchase, or by going to the
fairs, etc. Second, the new plan Of feeding OF
our pigs at eight months does not conduce to
digestion. II you ask anyone about his hogs
that have Cholera, ne VIII say that they have
been doing no good for some time; this shows
II our hogs had Cholera we would stop feeding
them for forty-eight hours and then begin q
treatment with Halls Hog and Poultry ChOl-
era Cure fOlOCing directions closely, and II part
Of those that so sick they did not eat did not
get well, and all the well ones stay well, we
would go back TO the dealer and get our money,
aS the medicine Is guaranteed.
To show our faith by our works, We will send
enough medicine free to one person In each
neighbOrhOOd In Kansas to cure their hogs.
HyOur hogs have Cholera, write TO US.

Sand Bagged and Robbed

John Cubbage, who resides just on the
edge OF Butler county, came to Tarentum
last Saturday!to take part in Memorial ex-
ercises. He spent the day in various ways
and about ten o'clock that evening wander

enjoy the river breeze. After several
minutes he was startled by hearing
footsteps approaching and upon turning
round to see what the intruder might be he
he was dealt heavy blow on the side
Of the head with what he thought was a
sand bag, which knocked him senseless.
Upon regaining consciousness he found
his pockets had been riaed of watch and
chain and eighty dollars in cash. He inn
mediately reported bis loss to Constable

description Of the thieves or any clew that
would lead to their arrest the guilty parties
were not apprehended.- d.-Tarentum Snn.

Tin Wedding.

'Mr. and Mrs. George W Hines, of
Slipperyrock township, celebrated the tenth
anniversary of their marriage on Tuesday
last, June 2nd. They live on the old
homestead of William Hines, about three
miles south Of Centerville. About o'clock
the friends and relatives of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hines began to arrive and Judging from the
well filled baskets OF provision which they
brought with them, they intended to stay
day or two. The time was spent IN
friendly chat until dinner was ready. The
invitation to dinner was promptly respond
ed to and the table was soon relieved OF
part of the weight which it sustained. More
than two hundred people partook. After
grace was said all eyes were turned to-
ward the bride and groom. The bride
succeeded in cutting her cake, but the
groom failed to make any impression on his
and gave up the attempt amid the laughter
of the guests 1t was tin cake made to
keep till he got a silver one. After dinner
the time was spent as usual on such oc-
casionS.
When the afternoon was well spent, Mr..
20. N. Cooper called the people to order and
nominated Mr. A. G. Black for President.
On taking the char Mr.. Black made few
appropriate remark and introduced Rev. j.
L. Cotton of the Presbyterian Church OF
Centerville lie made a few well chosen
remarks and concluded by presenting a
number of fine gifts to Mr.. and Mrs. Hines.
Rev j. Q. Womer of the NJ. E. Church oi
Harlansburg, in his usual modest manner,
responded in behalf of the recipients. a
fine rocking, chair, large lamp, and an
agate teapot were among the numerous
gifts presented.
After the benediction by Rev. Cotton the
meeting adioursed and all returned to
their homes well pleased with the
occasion"

The Producers Organization.


The oil producers have organized com
pany to transport, store, refine and market
their production. It is strictly business
project, looking to the betterment of their
interests.
They believe that in the years past, tax
ing into consideration the many and great
risks Of their occupation, they have not re-
ceiyed, in the distribution Of profits arising
from the oil business as o whole, their fair
and just share.
They have certainly legal right to take
this step There Is nothing in it to invite
ridicule or condemnation. There is reason
able probability the venture can be made
successful; and, considering the situation 1t
is surely worth the trial.
1t is nItled to the favor of all who sym
pathize with efforts at self-help; all who be-
lieve in commercial freedom, and hold that
the fields of labor and trade should be open
to every one to enter. 1t is even deserv-
ing of respectful treatment by that power
full company which to-day holds the issues
of life and death of the oil producing bust
ness in its hands.
To be sure, this or ganization Will have
to run the gauntlet of the vicissitudes
which all business enterprises encounter,
and take its chances of success or failure
as any other, but to no greater extent
No one can forecast the future. But here
at the threshold Of its existence, proper
and commendable in its design, seriously
and deliberately entered into by large
body Of earnest and hopeful men, it appeals
to the sense of Justice and fair play every
where for candid consideration. On every
hand it deserves good word and "God
speed"
1t is conceived in no spirit ofhostility to
any one. 1t will be unfriendly to no inter
est save incidentally in the way OF legiti-
mate competition and fair business rivalry.
There is no resentful, malicious, vindictive
feeling to be gratifed. The sole purpose
is to better and build up depressed IN
dustry.
OF course, the newspapers that are the
recognized mouthpieces of the Standard Oh
company, whose interests will be thought
to be effected thereby, will see no good in
this organization of the producers. They
win see nothing but selfish motives in Its
promoters, and incapacity, in its managers
They will be full of pretended concern
for the welfare of the small producer, and
the general investors in the company
And their columns will resound with walls
OF dismal prophecy. They will labor in
sidiously to foment jealousies, and prejudi-
cies, arouse envy, and SOW the seeds of
discord in the new company.
But the oil producers know who are and
who are not their friends. They are not
children to be deceived or influenced by
the artful arguments of their adversaries.
And the outside public will have decern-
ment enough to realize the situation, and
place the rightful value on such utter

brief struggle the bird finally succeeded
in killing the snake. which it carried

Change Demanded

The Butler Republicans, at their late
County Convention, deprecated the pres
ent delegate system of nominating Con
gressmen and State Senators, and demanded
the popular vote system, and call upon the
other counties Of the district to move in
the same direction. After the experience
we have Lad under the present delegate
system, almost any other that could be
thought of would be preferable. As this
county has had the popular vote plan in its
county nominations for years past, its ap-
plication to Congressional and Senatorial
nominations, would be simple, easy and
natural We apprehend there will be little
or no opposition to such change in this
county Beaver Times.

ONE WHO WAS TIL,
Eloped to Butler.

The Pittsburg Times of last Monday told
the following story. LawreHceville is all
agog over an elopement story which has onit
elements of the ludicrous as well as OF the
romantic. Last Monday forenoon Miss
Nellie Joyce, daughtor Of John. J.
Joyce, well known ex-grocer and
politician Of the district, left her home at
321 Forty-third street, in company with
Richard Kelly. an employe of the Black
Diamond Steel Works. Kelly had hired a
buggy, and stated that he was going to
take Miss Joyce to Schenley Park. Instead
of doing so, the pair drove to Alleg beny
and took Pittsburg and Western train
for Butler. They were under the impress
ion that they could be married if they left
Allegheny county, although Miss Joyes
was only 10 years OF age. Their hopes
were dashed to the ground, however when
all the Catholic elergymen and all the
justices in Butler refused to tie the nuptial
knot without the consent of Miss Joyce,s
parents Kelly left his lady-love at a
hotel while he went forth to find a means
to get welded. When alone Miss Joyce
conscience began to twit her, and she sent
the following telegram to her father: Gran
away Dick Am very sorry. Please come
and take me home. ION receipt of the
telegram Mr.. Joyce at once started for
Butler, when he arrived late Monday night
Meanwhile ''Dick" returned to the hotel
and Miss Joyce had experienced a renewal
of affection. The result was that when
the angry parent reached Butler he found
not the penitent child he looked for, but
two very resolute young people who de-
clared their intention of getting married or
dying together. Mr.. Joyce finding that
argument was wasted, yielded like a sensi-
BILE man to the inevitable. On Tuesday
- 7. L
ding and the blushing Nellie was united
to her Dick in St MarY's Church.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Excursion
Route Book for the season of 1891, just
