Cold Day Co. tonight at the opera house. If you want to see the best show that has appeared in Butler this season, go to-night. A letter from Mrs. Kennett who is now sojourning in the west bears the good news than she and her daughter Ida are improving in health. Casper Stammons has had three or four teams hauling ice from the depot the past week. The iee was shipped in from the lakes and looks tine This is the night for laughing. Secure your tickets before they are all taken. Cal Fisk has decided to return to Butler. He is now at Spokane Falls, Washington, and his health has not been good since his residence there. The opera house company has sold more than twice as many reserv- ed seats to the show to-night than has been since the opening of the house. From the time the curtain goes up till it goes down on the last act, it is laugh, laughter, yell. “Cold Day” is all fun. Dr. J. M. Christy spent last week in Kansas City, having his eye treat ed. He has been practically blind in this eye since his mishap of sev eral i ago. He received little or no relief from his treatment and will return to Kansas City this week. A negro woman was found dead by Dr. O. Y. Warren, in Bob Robin- sons’ pasture, two miles east of Walker station. The verdict of the coroner's jury was that she had epi- leptic convulsions and froze to death. Bro. Austin has no doubt settled that seck question to his own satis- faction. Mr. Carrithers quotes the tariff echedule from the McKinley list published in his trades journal, Aus. quotes his figures from a schedule manufactured in the Rec- ord office for use in case of emergen- eres. Rich Hill is doing her best tokeep abreast with the sporting world. Ev- ery shaft glove match is on the boards. ednesday evening W. J.

The bank will open with a capital stock of one hundrod thousand dollars, and will have the best financial backing of any bank in the state. It isthe intention of the institution to make our former fellow-townsman, J. M. Tucker, cashier of the institution. This speaks well for Mr. Tucker's ability as a shrewd business man and the Times congratulates him on his good fortune. N. M. Nestlerode, of Virginia, in- forms us that his store was robbed last week, the thief carrying offabout $28 in cash, a check for $6.50 and notes to the amount of about $300, besides some valuable receipts. En- trance was gained to the store through a rear window, by breaking the glass and losening the catches. He says the notes and receipts can not be of any value to the parties, and if they will place them where he ean get them, he will be inclined to let the money go without further in vestigation. Later: Mr. Nestlerode was in the city Monday and informed us that his papers had been returned. He found them on top of his cheese case where some one had thrown them. For Sale.

Handsome Trimmings. Mrs. Kennett desires us to express sincere thanks to the ladies of this city and vicinity for their past pat ronage, friendship and good wishes. She also wishes us to notify the pub- lic that she is now receiving her spring stock of millinery which is be ing opened for inspection and sale. A Tiugs reporter dropped in the store Monday and took a bird's eye view of her stock, consisting ef pat- tern hats, bonnets, children’s caps jand hoods and the elegant line of trimmings, &c., and we can truth fully say to the ladies that her stock comprises the very latest patterns and styles ir headwear, and that the trimmings are just as pretty as they can be manufactured. The hats are mostly of small pattern this season. very stylish, and flowers have taken the place of other trimmings. Be- ing’a judge and admirer of nice mil- linery we do not believe that Mrs. Kennett's stock is surpassed byany store in this section of the country. Her prices will be at bottom figures, in short she will not be undersold by any store in the county. Before you buy call and see her new goods and you will find that you will not have to pass her door either for style, quality or low prices. West side square. The city council ougkt to begin right away to make some arrange- ments toward purchasing hose and a hose cart, to be ready on the com- pletion of the waterworks. Water without these appliances for pro- tection would be of little value to the city. They should investigate the number of feet of hose necessary for Butler and also the cost. A fire cempany should also be supplied with ladders. these things,the 4th will soon be here. John Vancamp has rented the Pyle brick just in the rear of the brick building on the southwest corner of the square, and will ina day or so open out his restaurant and boarding house.

Fonr Buildinzs Succumb to the Flames A fire Wednesday night on the south side of the square blotted out in a very sbort time the four frame store buildings which were old land- marks of the city, having been built wany years ago. The buildings were not only old but had become dilapi dated and have for a long time been considered an-eye sore aud a tire brand. Their removal is not detri-/ mental in the least to the south side, and were it not forthe losses of the occupants of the same the fire would be hailed rather as a bevefit than a detriment to the interests of the city. | Asitisthe ground has now been; cleared off and made ready for hand- some bricks which we hope will soon take the place of those burned. The buildings burned were occu- | pied by the following persons. Duncan & Duvall, general stock | of groceries and provisions, insured for $1,000. About one fourth ofthe stock was saved | Jay Gordinier, barber shop, no in- | surance, saved two chairs and ene or two mirrors. T D. Rafter, dry goods aud gro | |ceries, stock all burned, fully insur ed. John Vancamp, restaurant, loss | jabout $800, insurance S290. The fire originated in the store! room of T. D. Rafter about one | oclock at night and before discover- ed the interior of the building was a seething mass of fire and noth- | ing could be done to save any of the buildings, and in fact the time was} very limited tosave goods. Jobln j Vaneamp and his family and board. | ers living over his restaurant had scant time to saye themselves, and | his two daughters, Miss Hattie and Nettie were not given time to dress and made their escape from the | burning building by jumping from | the second story window to the | ground, a distance of 15 feet. | | The night was very cold and the | wind was blowing quite hard and the saving of the frame buildings in close proximity was considered al- most a miracle. i When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoris. | When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria.
