DR.. Lusk. of Nvhart. was in the
city Saturday and informed us of a
severe loss which he sustained by the
wind storm which passed over this
section Wednesday night of last
week. 4 new store building 22XJ4
feet which he was erecting at the
above place was totally destroyed.
With the exception of putting in the
glass front the building was just
about completed and his loss will be
several hundred dollars. as he had
no insurance. Another small build
ing near by was also wrecked The
doctor said the two buildings were
piled in heaps in opposite directions
by the wind and he was unable to ac-
count for this unless he was visited
by a small sized twistPr. He said he
had been quite unfortunate since his
residence at Nyhart in the past four
years, as this is the second house he
has lost by wind and one by fire The
storm was quite severe in Butler but
only the shade trees suffered, many
limbs being broken eff all a bout town.

NEW ENTERPRISE.
A Furniture Factory to Be Established
in Butler.


Messrs. b. NJ. Small and q. ..
Blocher propose starting a furniture
factory III our city with "A - 600
capital stock. They have already
contracted for expensive machinery,
but have not Yet determined on the
exact location. They require of the
citizens of Butler donation of ST.
600 Then a stock company will be
formed, the greater part of the stock
having already been spoken for.
These gentlemen have made a verv
careful investigation OF the timber of
this county and have sent samples TO
eastern manufacturers to have them
thoroughly tested and they pro-
nounce our timber of the very best
for the manufacture of furniture. Mr.
Small served his apprenticeship and
worked for number of years in fur
niture factories in the east and knows
the business, while Mr.. Blocker has
been dealing in furniture for num-
Der OF years. Mr.. Small informs Us
that they expect to work at least 30
men from the beginning and that the
capacity of the factory will be 100
hands. An institution giving EN-
ployment TO 30 hands with a pay
roll of $500 per week. is certainly
worth an effort on the part of the
city to secure. and we trust our citi-
zens will cooperate with these gen
tlement to that end.
