Fire Alarm Station

The new owners of the water
works have already started some Of
their contemplated Improvements.
They have moved their office for the
payment of bills and for answering
inquiries for general information to
the lobby of the Fraternal Inn. They
have also ordered installed fire
alarm system so that it is accessible
to the people of Butler at all times,
day or night. There will always be
of the hotel to convey fire signals.
The general public seem to appreci-
ate the removal of the office, as they
are now no longer compelled to climb
numerous steps to reach it as they
had to do at the old location of the
office. git

William w. Ross

William w. Ross, aged 70 years
and Is days, departed this life at his
home on Mechanic street in this city
Monday, October q, 1918, at l o'clock
a. M, after an illness of several
months.
William w. Ross was born in Glas-

the age of ten years he came to
America becoming a citizen of the
United States and making his home
in this country since that time. He
was united in marriage to Sarah |.

February 18th, 1860, and this union
was blessed with ten children, four
of whom, Mrs. j. w. Rock, Mrs. C.
A. Miller, Mrs. Lete Sackett and Miss
Lizzie Ross, together with his widow
survive to mourn the loss of a kind
and affectionate father and loving
husband.
He moved to Butler together with
his family in 1871 and since that time
he has been one of this city's most
valued and respected citizens.
He was a Mason and a member of
the l. o. 0. F. of long standing and
probably no man ever more consist
entity lived up to the letter of his OBJ
legations than did 'Uncle Bill" Ross.
A devout Baptist, he followed his
creed and lived his life as he saw it,
The world is poorer today by one
Christian gentleman who was a friend
to his fellow man.
Funeral services, conducted by
Rev. L. R. Elliott were held at the
Baptist church Tuesday afternoon
and interment was made in Oak Hill
cemetery. Services by the Masons

Nothing can be good for every

Doan's Kidney Pills are for one

For weak or disordered kidneys.
Here is Butler evidence to prove
their worth.
Mrs. George Bailey, $40 Maple ST.,
Butler, NO., says: "When suffering
from a dull, heavy backache and
pains through my sides and hips, l
used Doan's Kidney Pills and was
cured. There has not been any
trouble since"
The above statement must carry
conviction to the mind of every read

Bailey had-the remedy backed by

cording to a statement just issued
by the Bureau of Foreign and Do
nestle Commerce, Department. OF
Commerce, boots and shoes exported
from the United States in the fiscal
year, which ends with the current
month, will aggregate 20 million dol
lars in value, against 5 million dol
lars in 1900, and less than l mil
lion dollars in 1890. This total
for 1913 includes about Is million
dollars worth of leather boots and
shoes, one-third of a million dol
lars worth Of slippers, and approx
mately million dollars worth OF

dition to this, nearly million dol
lars worth of leather boots and
shoes went to Porto Rico and Ha-
wall. Meantime the importation OF
boots and shoes into the United
States during the current fiscal
year will amount to about $250,000.
The average value per pair of leath-
er boots and shoes exported during
the fiscal year 1912 was: Those
for mems wear, s2.11; women's,
$1.72; children's, 78c.; and slip
pers, $1.05. The average import
price of boots and shoes imported
was about S5c. per pair.
All the world takes American
boots and shoes. The number of
countries, colonies and dependencies
to which the exports went last year
aggregated approximately 100. Cuba
is the largest buyer of this class of
merchandise. The value of boots
and shoes exported to that island
from the United States during the
fiscal year 1912, the latest period
for which details of distribution to
all countries are available, was prac
tically million dollars out of
total of 16 million dollars worth of
leather boots and shoes exported in
that year. To Canada the exports
in that year amounted to two and
a half million dollars; England, one
and half million; Germany, prac-
tically one million; Panama, three
quarters of million; France, Aus
tra-Hungary, the Philippine Islands,
and the British West Indies, each
about a half million dollars; Argen-
tina and Italy, each one-third of a
million, and Brazil, quarter of a
million dollars. To all Europe the

dollars; to North America, 9 mil
Lion; to South America, one and
quarter million; to Oceanic 2eariy
one million; to Africa. quarter of
million dollars ald to Asia, $S5,

The wide extent of distribution
Is shown by the fact that the list
of countries named by the Bureau CT
Foreign and Domestic Commerce as
the destinations of the 16 million
dollars worth of leather boots and
shoes exported in 1912 was,as above
indicated, nearly 100, and among

Both city and temple continued to fall more and
