More Burglars.

The house of VIM. Kesselman of
Brown ave-, Butler, was entered, ran
sacked and robbed of money, watches
and other valuables, last Thursday
night
On Friday night two men tried to get
into DR.. Neeley's house but were scared
off by passer-by.
John w Bortmas and his family OF
CLAY twp. and a boarder, Richord Van
dyke, were chloroformed and robbed,
Tuesday night When they aw akened
next morning they were all sick, and
windows that they had left up weIe
closed. The robbers got 800 from Mr..
Bortmas, $40 from Mrs. B. two rings. a
gold watch. and two certificates of de
post: and also some money f1om Mr..
Vandyke and left no clue behind.
Four young fellows out near Du Bois
undertook to do a little in the burglary
line. the other night They entered the
house of a man named Leah. and he
put up 2 fight, and they shot him, but
did not kill him; and then, though the
neighborhood had been aroused by the
shooting, they attempted TO enter the
house of a preacher, nearby. But the
preacher was awake and heard them,
and he got shot at them, sending a
bullet through the breast of young
man named German. The quartettC
ran away, taking the wounded boy with
them, but he was found in the board
ward and first taken to Jail, and after
wards to the Hospital, and he will
probably die; and at the Hospital ht
save his right name, and had then
send for his father. Two more of the
gang were surrounded in a swamp and
are now in Jail.
Bows burgling don't pay.

As to Licenses.
Butler, Pa, June 6, 1904

DubitI, u. u, lJVt
MIR. EDITOR
AS the License Court is approaching
the people are beginning to inquire as to
what we may expect as the outcome.
Some seem to have lost faith in our
present Court, because of the present
condition of the liquor trade in the
county. Having given the matter some
consideration / wish to say to the pub
lie, through your columns. that they
ought not to be alarmed nor deceived
by the general outlook. | know that
the sentiment OF our Court is now, as il
always has been, unfriendly to the lib
eral use of intoxicants; but it must be
remembered that the conditions in and
around Butler are abnormal
A large foreign population have come
in here, habitual drinkers The only
question is whether they shall be allow
ed to get their liquor here or have il
shipped to them from the city For the
present they will doubtless get it here,
and this being the case the sentiment il
general that there is no temperance in
allowing a few to make fortune 0ut of
this business in few years Let a lib.
eral policy be pursued in this regard
and then if any one is found to be vio-
isting the laws let him be punished
While these are the conditions bere
in the centre would say to our country
friends, let no inroads be made i'll other
parts of the county Let the temper
ance people keep up their lines; let nc
new point be gained by the liquor
interests. A licensed hotel in a country
village is a nuisance. Let them be re
sisted wherever they present themselves
the conflict will have the active sympa-
thy of the temperance people here and
we live in hope that we may yet be in
shape to renew theassault on the liquor
business even here. A

PUNS AND PROMOTIONS.
CIergymen Who Have Been Reward
ed For Their Facetiousness.

CIergymen Who Have Been Reward
ed For Their FacetiOusness.
Canon Melville owed his earliest pro-
motion to a pun, says London jour
nal When the late Earl of Dudley,
who knew Mr.. Melville sufficiently to
remember that his Christian name was
David. had a living at his disposal he
received letter containing only the
words, Lord, remember David" The
earrs reply was no less terse and Scrip
tural: Thou art the man,
Perhaps the earliest instance Of &C.
cIesIasr1aT prOinotlon Won Dy pun Is
that of curate named Joseph, who
was prompted by Swift to take this
text for a sermon preached in st. Pat
rick's cathedral, Dublin, before the
viceroy, "ButIer," the Duke of Or
mond. "Yet did not the chief Butler
remember Joseph, but forgat him."
The Rev. Dr. Mountain, who was the
son of a beggar, owed nearly every
step of his successive promotions in
great part to his righteousness and
won the last step of all by single
Jest. When he was consulted as bishop
Of Durham by George II. as to the fit-
test person to fill the vacant archiepis-
copal see Of York he replied: ''Sir,
hadst thou faith as a grain of mustard
seed thou wouldst say TO this Noun
tain dramatically striking his breasD,
BE thou removed and cast into this
sea (see).'" That George H. should
SO understand and appreciate the joke
as to accept it's suggestion is perhaps
the strangest part of the story.
Apropos Of puns, promotion and the
see of York, here is a good story of a
living given by an archbishop of York
in reward for an impertinent personal
pun. The archbishop, Sir William
Dawes, entertained his clergy at din
ner shortly after the death of his wife,
Mary, who appears to have been a reg
ular Mrs. Proudie at once to his grace
and to the diocese. At dinner the arch
bishop apologized, with a sigh, for
things not being in the apple pie order
that prevailed when his dear, dead
wife, Mary, was alive. Being himself an
inveterate punster, he added, with
sad shake of his head, "She, indeed, was
Mare Pacifcum-' A curate who knew
too well what a tartar the deceased
lady was rejoined, AYE, my lord, but
she was first Mare Mortuum!' and was
absolutely and Immediately rewarded
by the archbishop for this impertinent
pun with living Of E500 year.

CHURCH NOTES.

At Wheeling last Friday, after a day
devoted to the discussion of the future OF
Thiel college, almost to the exclusion OF
all other business, the Pittsburg synod
of the English Lutheran church decided
by an overwhelming majority, to re-
move the institution from Greenville to
Greensburg, provided it can legally be
done. The doubt is created by the in
junction granted by the Supreme court
at the instance of the people of Green
vile, but the delegates were convinced
that an amendment to the charter OF
the college will remove all legal diff
culties.
Sunday was rally day at the Lyndo
ra Mission. The children of the Butler
u. P Sunday School were guests Of the
Mission school. Next Sunday will be
rally day for the Butler school.

opened fire, their shot falling all over
our boat. We were below reading
and writing, and Etzel. looking out re-
ceived fearful wound in the back of
his head and expired in few mo-
ments.
The soldiers, who were dressed like
pirates, said they mistook us for a pi-

More Violence i'm Colorado.


Twelve non-union miners were blown
to pieces, and seven others were mangled
at railroad station in Colorado, near
Cripple Greek, early Monday morning.
just after they had left the night-turn
of the mine, and were about taking the
train for their homes, by the explosion
of dynamite under the platform on
which they were standing
The Internal machine consisted OF a
quantity Of dynamite, probably BOG
pounds, loaded revolver and a long,
fine steel wire attached to the trigger.
The revolver was fastened so that the
pulling of the trigger would not draw
it way. The wire ran from under the
station platform to the cribbing Of the
Delmonico property, about 400 feet
away, where its end was fastened to q
rung of chair.
The dynamite was placed close to the
muzzle Of the revolver, which was dis
charged by pulling the wire. The bal
from the revolver and the resultant
conclusion exploded the dynamite.
