PARK THEATRE.

JOSHUA SINPKINS AT PARK THEATRE
FRIDAY, APRIL %.
The attraction at Park Theatre Fri
day, April %, will be the Joshua Simp-
kins Company. 1t is a strong rural
comedy drama, opening with a realistic
scene of rural life, showing Skinner
Tavern with Uncle Josh's Wild Briar
farm in the distance. The play pro-
gres ses, abounding with interesting stu
ations, until the climax is reached, in
the third act, when a human being is
helplessly bound to log to be cut in
twain by mammoth buzz saw, and is
only saved by the timely asrival of
Uncle Josh Joshua Simpkins" was
written with the view of keeping an
audience thoroughly amused and it
fully carries out the authors intention.
The plot is not allowed to interfere with
the comedy parts to any great extent,
thus producing play that is not only
thrillingly interesting, but is said to
contain as many laughs as there are
grains in a ''heaped up" bushel of
wheat.

Your Stationary.

1t is getting to be the proper thing
for farmers as well as merchants and
other business men TO have printed sta
tionary And we can see no reason
WHY they should not take their proper
place among business men by adopting
business methods in as many ways as
possible There Is n combination OF
business and sentiment in giving your
farm name like Valley View Place,
Maple Spring Farm" Maple Dale. or
something of the kind, as ii lends a Ger
tain dignity and individuality to the
place. an increaseds sense of pride in the
proprietorship thereof, as well as addi-
tnnal Importance in the eyes of produce
dealers or commission merchants with
whom you are dealing. \ small invest
ment in printed stationary giving your
residence and business, such as breed
ing of thoroughbred stock, the maniac
ture of dairy produce, etc, might prove
of no slight advantage to You, as well
as giving a certain degree OF satisfac-
tion And when you conclude to have
some note heads and envelopes printed
remember that the same can be had at
the CITIZEN Office as cheap and good as
anywhere

A Common Mistake.

1t is common mistake people make
in supposng that the only object of the
Business College is to grind out book
keepers and stenographers. Business
College education is useful to everybody.
The man of wealth cannot tell if his book
keeper does his work properly unless be
himself understands the science of ac-
counts. Just as the best housekeeper
need not do the work herself but She
knows how, and hence knows when it is
properly done. The poor man needs
business education to be able to manage
his resources to the best advantage
The moral is plain, attend the Butler
Business Coll ,ge and School of Shor.-
hand 3Io-327 SoitiI Main St, where the
best methods of accoantins and s;cno-
graphy are taught.

Principles of the Republican
Party

From the National Republican plat
form adopted at st. Louis June Is,
1896, nearly two years ago,
From the hour of achievement their
own independence the people of the
United States have regarded with
sympathy the struggles of other Ameri-
can people to free themselves from Eu-
ropean domination We watch with
deep and abiding interest the heroic
battle of the Cuban patriots against
cruelty and oppression, and our best
hopes go out for the full success of
their determined contest for liberty.
The government of Spain having lost
control of Cuba and being unable to
protect the property or lives of resident
American citizens. or to comply with
its treaty obligations, we believe that
the government of the United States
should actively use its influence and
good offices to restore peace and give
independence the island.
