Our Great Fair.

The Butler Agricultural Association h. 5
been in existence Tor ;be past nineteen
years, has given nineteen fairs or exhibit
ions; has paid every premium adjndged
il fall; owns its own grounds and dom,
owe dollar. II IS the only Agricultural
o. Fair Association in the state with such
a record. It's grounds now consist OF six
ty-tour acres ot suissb'e ground, wiki
buildings aud track that will compare fay
orably with any in the state. Some years
il makes money and some years it loses.
This year it made some money, while q
year or two ago it lost and its reserve fund
came down TO S33.
With the money made this year it in
tends to enlarge Floral Hall and the Grand
stand and improve the grounds and ac-
commodations The stock holders of the
association have never yet received a
cent Of dividends or interest.
Thursday last was perhapes the great.
est day the association has vet had The
weather WAS propitious that morning and
about third OF the entire county came
to Butler and went to the grounds. To-
wards noon the sky clouded; during the
afternoon the rain fell in torrents and
thousands of people were soaked although
they crowded in:O everything that had
roof over it. Ii was rare piece of luck
for the side shows. some of the races
were postponed, and Friday was Gu un-
usually good day for the association.
Altogether it was the greatest and
best Fair Butler has ever seen.

the century. This remarkable, clever and
courageous young lady permits herself tn

she is caught by the hands OF her sister,
who hangs head downward from trapeza.
In her perilous flight she strikes a target.

the force with which she is shot into the

clever aud startingly executed, demand-
ing b th great Dervc and the incest calcu.
lation, as the smallest defect in the appa-
ra:us or the sighting of the crossbow
would be attended by serious consequences.
II is one OF the many new and marvellous
feats to be seen this year in the show
when it comes here on Saturday, Oct, 3D.

PARK THEATRE.
MONDAY SEPT IA

The amusing musical farce comedy "The
Gilhoolya Abroad" is of nature calculat-
ed to bring ont to perfection tho comicsl
abilities of the Brothers German who in
every act introduce new specialties, and
songs which keep the audience in roar
of applause and laughter, from the rise of
the curtain to its fall. The singing of the
Company is especially fine as is the dane.
ing; in the latter line, John and George
German introduce a novelty in their dance
of the Broad way Swells, which is execut-
cd to tuneful ulmedley arrangement of pop
ular songs; it ID one of the prettiest things
in the amusement line produced this sea
son. All the members of the company
are good performers; every part is in pro-
per hands, and there is not q weak place
from start to finish.

The house OF Robert Anderson in
Middlesex twp, was destroyed by fire,
Tuesday morning There is some insur-
ance.
The Town Council hearing in Court
this nor ming practically amounted to
nothing. The borough has no money with
which to grade the streets; the correct
grade will not and cannot be known until
a permanent improy ement is made, and
the improve ment cannot be made until
the money is voted for and borrowed for
that purpose.
1t is rumored at Harrisburg that the
State license law is TO be changed like the
Raine's liquor law in New York State
The issuing Of licenses is to be taken out
of the hands OF the judges in Philadelphia
but to remain as it now is elsewhere in the
State. Another feature of the proposed
law is to break up the ownership or,control
OF retail houses by distillers, brewers and
wholesalers. One CT the attorneys for the
organization states that a very large pro-
portion of the retail saloons are simply
commission houses, selling spirits and beer
for manufacturers or wholesalers. The
now law will provide such restrictions as
will prevent this, and send many of those
now conducting saloons into other business
or compel them to look for new sources OF
capital A thorough protective system is
to be provided for.
This rage for buttons is getting to be
ridiculous. The campaign button has Civ
en- place to some Of the most absurd mon
strosities that were ever fastened to the
lapel Of coat. 1t is not calculated to in
crease a mans good humor to see starin :
him in the face after he has made state
ment a button with the words 'I'm some
what of liar myself" and he looks silly
when he reads on another button that he
shall "Ge. off the earth, your time is up"
There are buttons that say ''if you love me
grin, and Lets get married" and "Are
you handing ont kisses now2" There are
gold and silver bug buttons, and buttons
that say boldly az am Democrat, but I'll
vote for Mckinley" And every day the
variety increases. A prominent cigarette
firm has about q hundred different kinds
and every purchaser of pack of cigarettes
gets button. Some men who are con-
frmed cigarette smokers have made collec-
lions of buttons that will certainly be OF
interest twenty years from now as showing
how many kinds of fool man can make
Of himself.
