As tbe resultof engaging inadrunken row
at West Salisbury, last Tuesday afternoon,
Simon Hammer is hammering away at pris
on fare in the county jail. Simon went into
Williams' hotel with bis pockets filled with
stones and immediately began to hammer
down tbe house. In a few minutes land
lord Williams was hammering Hammer, as
be had a light to do in order to protect his
household goods, and in a short time had
hammered him into a state of unconscious
ness. Simon recovered sufficiently after a

lord's son but got hammered in return nntil
be was again on tbe floor. At this juncture
tbe borough policeman appeared and ham
mered Mr. Hammer from the hotel to tbe
lockup. He was given a bearing tbe follow

If current reports are true Meyesdale bas
been buying oleomargarine for butter. The
law holds dealers to strict account, and in
formations, we understand, have been made
by revenue official against several of our
dealers. We know nothing of tbe facts, but
presume it is only justice to the dealers to
say tbat they have been victimized by the
creamery sharks. It takes an expert to dis
tinguish the product of the oleomargarine
factory from the poor quality of butter now
too commonly made and sold hereabouts.
In some instances tbe former is decidedly
preferable, and dealer wbo desire to do so
can handle it, provided they comply with
the law aod sell it for what it really is. Tbe
public have a right to complain if a ten-cent
compound is foisted upon them for Z' cent
butter. Tbe best safeguard for dealers ia to
steer clear of tbe "creameries" that flood tbe
market with tbe artificial stuff under the
guise of gilt-edged butter. One of these con
cerns, if we remember aright, was prosecut
ed a year or two ago, bat its profits are enor
mous and it can well afford to pay a heavy
fine now and then. 3le?cmtale liegittrr.

Sol Uhl'e Contest for the Office of
Justice of the Peace Falls Flat.
As forecast in the Hcbald at tbe time at
torneys for Solomon Ubl presented a petition
to tbe Court praying that an order be served
on Oliver Knepper to show miss why the
certificate issued to bim as Justice of tbe
Peace in and for the borough of Somerset
for a ti rm of live years by virtue of an elec
tion held on tbe ?ltday of February should
not be cancelled and a certificate issue to
Solomon Ubl instead. Judge Longenecker
decides that Mr. Uhl doe not bave a peg
on which to bang bis claim of hi own
election or grounds sufficient upon which
to base a contest.
The opinion was received by Prothonota
ry San ner Thursday evening and as soon as
its contents became known there was great
rtjoicing among certain citizens of both polit
ical parties who feared tbat the prayer of
the petitioners might be granted and tbat a
contest would ensue, and tbat by this means
the ballots tbey voted at tbe February elec
tion would be exposed to public view.
Following is Judge Longenecker' answer
to tbe petition of Mr. Uhl -
Solomon Uhl ) In tbe Quarter Sesa
vs. ions Court of Somerset
Oliver Knepper. j County.
No. February Term, lSOi.
Tbe prayer of tbe petitioner in this case is
tbat the Court shall " make a decree that the
oertiGcale of election issued to Oliver Knep
per be cancelled and that Solomon Ubl be
declared elected' Justice of the Peace, and
that a certificate be issued to bim according
ly." Numerous grounds ate assigned as thu
foundation for this prayer. Down to " D."
on tbe third page of tbe complaint relates
to the action of tbe Borough Auditor in
refusing to allow certain nomination call
ed tbe "Citizens Ticket" to be placed upon
tbe official ballot. W cannot review tbe
action of tbe Auditors. Their determina
tion was fins), being tbe tribunal named by
tbe Act of ltK'l for that purpose.
Tbe remaining specifications, except per
hatis No. C, are not available to sustain the
prayer of tbe petition. They might furnish
ground, if supported by proof, to set aside
the entire election, but not to make tbe de
cree asked foi in this proceeding.
From 7 to 10 inclusive, the specifications
are of the drag-net character which usually
accompany some real, tangible charge or
specific ground, which would, upon the
proof thereof, change the result aa between
the contesting candidates. Standing alone
they do not present a case lor a romest.
Looking then at No. C. we Hud tbat it al
leges tbat 17 persons named and ?J others
Dot named " voted an illegal and invalid bal
lot for Justice of the Peace, which votes
were counted for Oliver Knepper, and if the
election board had not counted said invalid
and illegal ballots, Solomon Ubl would
have been declared elected Justice of the
Peace."
Manifestly this must be based on mere
conjecture. It is not possible tbat any one
Could know certainly bow any of tbe per
sons named voted. Under tbe present sys
tem tbe election officers themselves could
not know without a flagrant violation of
their duties. Besides it does not state in
wbat respect tbeir ballots were illegal or in
valid, or whether all were so for the same
reason. It i too indefinite and uncertain to
furnish tbe vehicle for an election contest.
On tbe whole, we deem tbe petition insuffi
cient and refuse to permit it to be filed un
der tbe provisions of the Act of Assembly
for the purpose of instituting a contest.

The First of April.
Different business methods prevail in Som
erset connty to-day from those in vogue ten
or twelve years ago, when all accounts and
debts become due and payable April 1st.
Then every farmer who was owing a pay
ment on bis farm, and every business man
who bad local obligations to meet, was ex
pected to come to time, aud woe betide bim
if he did not have the "guelt" on tbe first
day of April. All notes and mortgages giv
en during the year fell due on April 1st, in
fact all business whatsoever dated from
tbat day in the year, and it was recognized
throughout our local world as " settle day."
The butcher, tbe baker, tbe candlestick mak
er looked forward to April 1st with the great
est interest, for on that day they canceled
their books and began business anew. Usu
ally tbe same pocket that carried money in
the morning held it again at night, but not
until after it bad paid the debts of a half
dozen or more persons. Lawyers prepared
tor April 1st as tbey now do for an import
ant session of court, for on that day tbey
drew np all tbe deeds and mortgages, enter
ed and satisfied ail tbe judgments of tbe bus
iness year. The Clerk of the Courts was
made tbe custodian of large amounts placed
in bis bands to satisfy judgments. Curb
stone brokers loaned out tbeir money on ap
proved security at way beyond the legal rate
of interest and then quietly waited until
April 1st, when tbey demanded the princi
pal only to reinvest it.
Street were crowded on April 1st as
tbey never were on any other day of the
year. Farmers from ail sections of the coun
ty were drawn here on that day if they want
ed to pay or burrow money, or if tbey bad
any business outside of the daily routine to
transact.
Then, too, April 1st was moving day for ail
families wbo made a change of residence
during tbe year, and men, women and chil
dren were on tbe go with tbeir household
goods and live stock. In short April 1st
commenced tbe year throughout Somerset
county in both business and social affair.
Tbe first day of April was regarded in other
counties of the Slate where the, German ele
ment predominate, in much tbe same man
ner. But, "the wheels of progress never turn
back," and all this is rapidly changing al
though it was kept op to some extent Satur
day, when our local bank did the la rgest
business in tbeir history, and the afreets
were crowded with people Money can now
be borrowed on any business day and for al
most any length of time at the legal rate of
interest. Merchanta do a cash business, or
demand monthly or quarterly settlements.
Lawyers find little if any more to do on
AprU 1st than on other days of tbe year,
while curb-stone brokers are willing to loan
oat their money without the stipulation
that it falls due on April 1st.

County Centennial.
Time to Prepare for Its Observation.
If tbe citizens of this county projoee to
celebrate tbe centennial anniversary of it
formation it is high time that tbey were
taking the preliminary steps looking to
wards that end. But a little more than two
years remain in which to prepare for it- If
the occasion ia to be made a memorable one
no time is It be lost. In view of tbe day be
ing observed by tbe people of the entire
county it should be made an historical event.
Many ronntbs will be required to collect the
data of a hundred years.
By an act of tbe State legislature approved
April 17, 171V entitled " an act forerectiDg
part of the County of Bedford into a separate
County," Somerset was ushered into exist
ence. Tbe same act provided that tbe courta
of tbe said county "shall be opened and held
on tbe Mondays next following the courts of
SS'estmore'and county at Brunerstown, in
the said county of Somerset, until a Court
House and goal shall be erected, Ac" It fur
ther provided "tbat tbe Governor of the
Commonwealth should appoint five commis
sioners, non residents of the county, to meet
at Berlin on the first Monday of September
next, and proceed to view and determine up
on the most eligible situation for erecting tbe
county buildings for the said county."
Tbe commissioners appointed by the Gov
ernor met on the day named and after view
ing the different sites proposed for the coun
ty seat sent forward the following report to
tbe Secretary of the Commonwealth :
"Summerset Town ( formerly ca! led Brun
erstown!, Sept. Ii, 175.

On Ibe same day, S-pt. 12. 17:T, the town
Of Somerset was plotted, when the grounds
now ocrupitd by the court bouse and county
jail were donated for tbat purpose by Adam
Schneider, one cf the two owners of the
ground upon which Somerset is now built.
The patriotism of the res;d-nts of Somer
set county is second to that of noothercoun
ly of Pennsylvania and we do not believe
that tbey will let thisocca-ion pass without
paying it loyal rec-OTiition. There is some
thing peculiarly fascinating about our rug
ged mountain homes that endear Somerset
county to all ber sons and daughters tbat
time and long residence elsewhere bas nev
er been able to erase. She has given birth to
and nurtured many men wbo have been
prominent in religions, governmental and
social affairs, and whose fame is as broad and
enduring as the Nation. No county in tbe
State has made more marked progress in tbe
pursuits to which she is limited by reason of
ber surroundings and no county bas a
brighter future than hers.
It is only proper, therefore, that the people
of Somerset county sbotild onite in making
her centennial anniversary a memorable oc
casion, and that this end may be accom
plished we invite tbe co-operation of our
brethren of tbe county press in ktepingthe
matter before the public and encouraging it
to take such action as wiil redown to the
glory of the pioneers who established this
beautiful heritage, to those who bave made
it famous among the counties of the Com
monwealth and to those who will further
develop its rich resources and add to tbe
splendor of its proud record.
A Rare Native Tipple.
' Talking about whiskey,'' said a mild
mannered gentleman, who take his "tod"
only npon perscription of bid physician, one
evening recently in tbe presence of a Hcbald
reporter, "it is generally known that intoxi
cants can be manufactured out of anything
from rye to the printed labels on tomato cans,
but it remained for a citizen of Someret coun -ty
to distill whiskey from huckleberries. A
good many years ago there lived in the
mountain above Salisbury a German named
Miller, who following tbe custom of those
degenerate days built a small distillery close
by his home. It happened one season tbat
tbere iu an abundant crop of huckleberries
and Miller's wife an J children gathered a
number of bashe s of ths little bl'ie, woody
fruit. The economical housewife carefully
placed the bjrries in the old fashioned bake
oven to dry, thinking to convert them into
pies during the' winter mouths. H-.r bus
band came across tbe dried fruit one day aud
conceived tbe idea of distilling it Into " the
stuJ tbat cheers." Accordingly tbe dried
huckleberries were "ma bed" and, after being
put through the ferro.-n-.ing proceis, in d je
time produced a half-barrel of huckleberry
wbiikey. About this time Miller was ar
rested by levtnue twicers, charged with
illicit distilling. I was concerned in the
case aud on one of the visits bis wile paid me
in regard to securing ber husband's release
from jail, sbe presented me with a jug filled
with the huckleberry whiskey. Well, it set
around my bouse for several years when one
day my wife called my attention to it. Court
was in session at tin time an 1 remembering
His Honor's wt is not necessary to name
him; fonJaees for a "wes; nip 'o tbe creeier."
I filled a vial and presented it to bim at bis
hotel. The Judges' benignant face beamed
with satisfaction upon tasting it, and he af
terwards declared it to oj the c.T-st beverage
tbat bad ever passed his lips. It is needless
to add that His Honor was supplied with a
"small bottle" on bis repeatel visits to
Somerset until the supply was exhausted.
In color the buckleb;rry liquor was a deep
purple, its bonnet was exceedingly rich and
pleasant, and its strength was ol tbe " tan
glefoot " variety. I never heard of buckle
berrr whiskey before and bave not heard of
any since.''
How to Obtain Long Life.
Take lile easy. Nothing prolong life like
a cheerful disposition.
Make haste slowly. The snail outran the

Avoid ail worry. Care wrinkles tbe brow

Don't get angry, livery burst of passion
shortens life's span one inch.
Be moderate in all things and temperate

kind restorer," and if you would lire long,
