The 4th was great day in Butler
there were plenty of strangers in town
the races and athletic exercises were in
teresting. The First Warders won the
hose race, time 274 seconds; the Markhams
won the hook and ladder race, time 80
seconds; John Graham won the so yard
dash-and best of all the home base ball
club won two games from the Home
steaders. That evening the town was a
blaze of fireworks.
This is the season of the year when
some misguided advertisers cut down their
space because business is dull. If adver-
tisements are business-b -bringers, and they
must be or merchants would not pay for
them, the dull season is a good time to
double the space. 1t would be poor loco
motive engineer who let the steam pres
sure run down on up grades. Shrewd
m erchants are coming to see this, and
when the people seem reluctant to buy
give them double dose Of urging. g.-PhiPa

The mysterious death of Mrs. Jennie
Merchon, wife of DR.. Ii. l.. Merchon of
Penn Ave and 10th st. Pittsburg, was for
several days the talk Of that neighborhood,
and Coroner Mcdonnell was criticized for
not m aking fuller investigation. Mrs.
Oscar Taylor, or Cornwall on the Hudson,
a sister of the dead woman, who arrived in
Pittsburg after the dead body of her sister
had been taken to Saxonburg for burial,
made many ugly charges against the dead
woman's hus band. She told of letters re-
ceyed from her sister in which she com
planned of being cruelty treated by her hus-
band. She said the letters did not lndi-
cate any intention on the part of her sister
to commit suicide. When Mrs. Taylor
came to Pittsburg she stopped next door to
DR.. Mercbon's When she left that place
to go to Saxonburg she promised to return
before she went back to her home. She
did not keep her promise, and the neigh
bors are exercised to know why the woman
went away so suddenly and in the middle
Of the night.
