FBOKISED ET&BTLIRG SISCLOSU&IS
DESTROYED BT T&UXK.
Tho objwtions tiled by Adam H. Miller
and John 11. ShaHer to the certilicale of
nomination filed by the Republican
County Committee, declaring Manasses
Shoemaker b s the duly and properly
nominated candidate of Iho party for tho
ofllce of DirecUir of tho Poor and
F.phraim Coleman fir the office of Jury
Commissioner, aud the objuctiona filed
by Messrs. Shoemaker aud Coleman to
the certificate filed by tho "fake" candi
dates for the same positions, were aired
la-fore Judge Barker on Friday and Sat
urday. M illcr and Shatter were represented by
KiNiiii. .V 1(, K-siser t Kv.ur and J.
A. Herkey, K-uis.aud it was manifest to
all of the few ersons who listened to tho
long drawn out pnx-nodings that they
were the parlies principally interested in
the case from a political as well as a pro
fessional standpoint.
Shoemaker and Coleman were rep re
Rented by A. C Hollwrt, Colliorn A Col
born, Klward B. and t.eorgo R. Scull,
Kps. As is well kn vn tho conduct of
the case was entrusted to Mr. Holbcrt,
who cou ducted it with great skill, and af
terwards prewntod tho legal aspects of
tho matter at issue to the (Mirt In an un
answerable argument and with remarka
ble clearness and force.
It is to be regretted that every Repub
lican in the county, especially those who
were mislead by the gang of disorganiz
es in Somerset to participate in the
"fake" primary, could uot have been
present and witnessed the remarkable
action of counsel tr the "fake" candi
dates in shifting their position from that
held before and immediately after tho
"fake" primary. Lightning change ar
tists have posed iu -public for lo! those
many years bef.ire the "Combine Circus"
exhibited in tho court house, on June
2J:h. ls.it all hitherto unparalleled feats
were discounted .by these executed bo
fore the Court last week.
As an illustration; every Republican
v er in the county remembers with what
audacity and vohemence the "fake"
leaders declared a primary election
would le held without the consent of the
Chairman; how their organ hysterically
proclaimed in glaring headlines that a
primary would le held, and bow a bogus
call signed by a number of committee
men finally appeared in it stating that a
primary would be held, and that tickets
would tie forwarded to all of the election
districts. When the matter got into court
eminent counsel had the effrontry to
take tho position that tho "fake" prima
ry was held in response to a call issued
by Chairman Berkley and was therefore
legal. It is a matter of grave doubt
whether tbo counsel who argued so earn
estly liefore the Court really believed
w hat they said, or if they did, how will
they explain their conduct before tho
"fake" primary to the public?
An effort was made to prove by a num
lier of witnesses, all of whom were can
didates at the "fake" primary, that they
had not lieen notified by Chairman Berk
ley that he proposed levying an assess
ment upon them for proportionate shares
of the expense to be incurred iu holding
a primary election, whilo on the other
hand Chairman Berkley declared posi
tively that ho had notified every man
who desired to announce as a candidate
that he would prepare a statement of the
probable deficit and would submit it for
their inspection on Saturday, June 5th,
the last day on whL-h announcements
could be received. Mr. Berkley's decla
rations were corrolioratoJ by the testimo
ny of Josiah Swank, and by receipts giv
en to David Cover and I. J. Iiaer.
Chairman Berkley was subjected toau
examination extending throughout two
or throe hours, aud all of his answers
were clear and positive.
Kx-Chairmen Keller, Scott and Bio
secker testified that assessments had
been levied iu previous years, and James
L. Pugh, Kv., averred that he had paid
an assessment of l(K) for the purpose of
helping to defray the expenseof conduct
ing a primary in lvs, as did others in
other years.
J. A. Berkey, Chairman of the "fake"
county committee, testified that be had
caused the names of the fifteen candi
dates to lie announced iu the columns of
the "fake" organ, that he had had
"fake" tickets printed and distributed
on his own authority.
AH of the testimony was In when court
adjourned at noon Saturday. At the af
ternoon session F. J. Kooser argued in
behalf of tho "fakin" for a period of
thirty minutes. The gist of his argument
was that Chairman Berkley had acted iu
an arbitrary manner, had labored to de
ceive candidates who were anxious to an
nounce, and had finally Issen forced to
call a primary election, which he had no
power to cancel.
Mr. Holbert. followed for his clients,
submitting a number of points and quot
ing authorities to sustain them. He laid
particular stress upon rule l.'S, which em
powers the Chairman to assess candi
dates for nomination, and upon the rule
requiring the tickets and blanks to be
furnished by the Chairman, and tho ad
ditional rule which requires returns to lie
made to the Chairman, as well as several
others.
Hon. A. J. Colborn made a telling ar
gument in behalf of sustaining the certif
icates of Messrs. Shoemaker and Cole
nun, and paid his respects to the leaders
of the "fake" primary who for tho past
twenty years have been engaged iu sow
ing discord in the ranks of the R?publi
can party.
Edward B. Scull argued that the reme
dy of the "fakirs" before they sot up an
oiganization for themselves was in court,
where a mandamus could have l;n se
cured compelling the Chairman to an
nounce the names of the "fake" candi
dates and place their names upon the
tickets providing they had complied
with the party rules. He also argued iu
belialf or rule 13 and Insisted that liecause
the rule had not been called into requisi
tion and enforced in other years was no
reason why it should not be sustained
and enforced at this time. He also took
the view that the certificate of Shoemak
er and Coleman was regular aud in con
formity with the act of Assembly em
powering the ollhwrs of political parties
to certify nominations where there are uo
opposing candidates.
The argument iu behalf of Messrs.
Shoemaker and Coleman was closed by
L. C. C.ilbirn, Esq., who presented the
rules governing the Republican party in
he light of the interpretation placed up
on them by Chairman Berkley and upon
which his clients hope to have their cer
tificate of nomination sustained.
W. II. KoanU mule tho closing ad
dress and Uking advantage of his oppor
tunity viciously assailed gentlemen
identified with tho party organisation
who were powerless to make reply in
opsu court. From the tenor of the t.en
eral's remarks it was clear that he still
labors under the delusion that the party
he organized and led in 188. is the Re
publican party of Somerset county. He
was unable to cite any authorities show
ing that he was in the right at that time
or that his clients have any reason to ex
pect t hat their names will appear in the
Republican column on the ballot to be
voted in November next.
Judge Barker directed the court sten
ographer to transcribe certain portions of
the testimony at an early day and took
the papers iu the case with him to
Ebenshurg. I( is not known when the
Court will hand down an opinion.

Charles II. Dickey, a well known and
leading eilizm of (iiemahuiug town
ship, died at bis home near Friedens on
Friday afternoon, under circumstances
of a peculiarly distressing character.
Monday morning after a shower of rain
had passed over that section Mr. Dickey
deemed it a proper time to repair bis
barn roof, inasmuch as it was au easy
matter to locale the leaks by the water
dripping on the grain and bay stored on
tho various mows. Wilh this object in
view ho climbed onto the roof, moss
grown and soaked with water. Ho pro
ewedod alstut half-way up to the crow n
when he slipped and fell to the ground, a
distance of 1- feet, breaking bis right leg
olfa few inches ab ve the ankle. Tho
bones pierced tho llexh aid lodged in the
ground. 11 is cries for help attracted the
attention of his venerable father, now
past eighty-four years of age, who sought
to alleviate his son's sufferings by forcing
the broken bonns into their natural posi
tion. . The iiijtmxl man was carried to
his homo and Dr. J.S. Louthor.of Stoyos
town, was called up in to dress tho Inju
ry. Several days later blood poisoning
developed and, after a consultation of
physicians, it was decided that tho only
hope of saving the sufferer's life rested iu
amputating his leg aUive the knee. The
amputation was performed Friday morn
ing by Dr. J. M. Ixnither, of Somerset, as
sisted by his son. Dr. Ixiuther, of Stoyes
towu. The shock proved too great for
the patient aud he died about three
o'clock the same afternoon.
Deceased was born on the farm on
which ho died and resided there contin
uously. He was aged 55 years, 8 months
aud 15 days. He is survived by his wife
and one daughter. The latter returned
home from a visit to friends in the state
of Indiana on Saturday afternoon, after
her father's death. From early manhood
Mr. Dickey was a devout member of tho
Lutheran church. No mau in the coun
ty enjoyed the esteem and confidence of
his friends to a higher degree, and
his untimely end his caused sorrow
throughout the neighborhood iu w liich
he lived. The funeral took place Sunday
morning at Friedens, the olaiequie lie
ing ..inducted by Rev. J. J. Welch. Tho
funeral is said to have beou the largest
ever wituesscd at Friedens.

prived of the advantages of the best
schools of his day, ho applied himself
dilligently to such liook as came into his

well trained mind and was looked upon
as a man of much more than average in
telligence. In addition to the qualifica
tions mentioned it should be added that
ho possessed a inarvelously retentive
memory which enabled him to recall
dates and incidents at will aud to the
amazoment of those who had occasion to
call upon him to exercise his remarka
ble faculty. For a period of perhaps
thirty years he bad served the people of
his community iu the capacity of Justice

What Do the Children Drink!
Don't give them tea or coffee. Have you
tried the new food drink called Grain-O?
It is delicious and nourishing and takes
the place of coffee. The more Grain-O
you give the children the more health
you distribute through their systems.
Grain-O is made of pure grains.and when
properly prepared tastes like the choice
grades of coffee but costs about Jas much.
All grocers sell it. 15c and 25c.

What Will He Now Uo With Mi "Fake"
County Oranlialloa ?
Tho attempt of tho well-known band of
kickers, disorganizes and party wreck
ers to disrupt the organization of the Re
publican party in this county culminated
at Harrixburg on Thursday, when the
pretentious claims of the delegates rep
resenting this chosen liand were laughed
at by the State Committee, were uncere
moniously kicked out of the Convention
and the seats they laid claim to were
awarded to the duly elected delegates,
the loyal Republicans, the true and intel
ligent representatives of the party,
Ephraim D. Miller. John W. Mostoller
and James M. Cover.
No Republican of judgmont In the
county ever doubted but that this would
lie the final result, and how the leaders
of the "late relieilinu" will explain their
lack of political sagacity, if it was that
only, to their credulous confiding, but
misguided followers, we leave them to
say.
The committee befire which the con
test was heard was composed entirely of
gentlemen of State reputation in politics,
a majority of them lawyers of recognized
ability, at least two of them having
graced the bench of their respective judi
cial districts. That body so coinHsed,
after a full and careful hearing of the
questions in controversy should, without
a dissenting voice, decide that Chairman
Berkley's course was right aud honest
and fair and just, that his interpretation
of tho party rules was correct, and his
enforcement of them proper and legal,
must bo indeed gratifying to every sin
cere Republican in the county, and it
must follow as a natural sequence that in
the future they will more gladly follow
his leadership and will more earnestly
uphold his hands when the party integ
rity and party organization are assaulted
by traitors and ouspiratora within and
without tho party ranks.
The report of the committee follows:

And now that the highest political au
thority in the State has sustaiued Chair
man Berkley, and his control of the party
organization is assured for the next two
years what will Mr. Kooser do with his
"fake" County Chairman one J. A. Her
key and his "fake" Couuly Committee,
to say nothing of his fke" "Vice
Cbairman," the one ofucM of his own
creation, and so dear to his heart ? Will
he retain his organization to make a fight
for his "fake" CouDty ticket this fall after
it has beeu given a brain-clout by the
Court? Will he disband it, retiring the
officer ou halt-pay, or will he inarch it
over, bag and baggage, aud surrender it to
the real leader of this entire "fake"
movement, Geueral Coll'roth. It is a
matter of some curiosity but no conse
quence to the loyal Republicans of the
county and the members of the regular
organization,
'.
Hon. E. P. Mille.-, John W. Mostoller
aud James M. Cover, the three duly elect
ed delegates from this county to the Re
publican State Convention, held in Har
risburg, on Thursday, discharged their
duty iu a manner that will meet with the
approval of a large majority of the Re
publican voters of the county. Mr. Mos
toller was elected one of the Vice Presi
dents of the Convention and Mr. Cover
served on the Committee on Resolutions
As was anticipated, the right oft Messrs.
Miller, Mostoller and Cover t'i sit in the
Convention was contested by Messrs.
Chas. F. Cook, II. F. Barron and Isaiah
Good, who claimed to have been elected
delegatus at the "fake" primary election,
held on June 2r.hu It is neediess to add
that their claims were laughed at by the
highest representative body of Republl
cans in the State, although their spokes
man, F. J. Kooser, Esq , who perhaps
enjoys a greater share of responsibility
for their making a contest than any one
else, was given a respectful hearing.
Mr. Kooser went lo Harrisburg the
previous Sunday night, presumably for
the purpose of getting the lay of the laud
and consulting with the Wanamaker
agents. It is further presumed that be
met with a chilly reception, since he re
turned home on the morning train, Tues
day, and immediately went into caucus
with his local followers at tho "Take" pri
mary. As a result of the caucus, Messrs.
Kooser, Cook, Barron and Good left for
the Stale capital the same evening "for the
purpose of keeping up the show of
tight," as one of the "fakirs" put it.
. Arriving at Harrisburg they filed no
tice of contest with the Chairman of the
State Committee. The State Central Com
mittee met at 2 o'clock Wednesday af
ternoon when sub-committee on con
tested seats ' wis, appointed. The sub
committee met in- one of the parlors of
the Iiochiel Hotel, the same afternoon.
When the Somerset county case was call
ed, Geo. R. Scull, Esn,.,presented the facts
to the Committee briefly as they are fa
miliar to readers of the llKRAi.naud the
Republicans voters of the county. Mr.
Kooser followed in an hour's argument
in behalf of the delegates elected at the
"fake" primary. No outsiders were ad
mitted to the committee room, but there
is every reason to believe that Mr. Koos
er used many of the same arguments
brought into play at the "fake" conven
tion, such as claiming that because he
had carried the county for the noiuin
tiou for Congress, he should be permitted
to dictate to the party hereafter, and that
the primary was properly called by a
majority of the Committeemen, and that
a tremendous vote was polled at it, con
sidering it was an "off" year.
The sub-committee submitted their re
port to the State Committee at 10 o'clock
Wednesday night, in which they unani
inously reported in favor of awarding the
seats to Messrs. Miller, Mostoller and
Cover.
When the report of the Committee had
I een read by the Secretary, Dave Martin,
the eminent Philadelphia "Combine"
leader, was recognized by the Chairman
and made a rattling speech against the
adoption of that portion of the report
which awarded a half-vote each to the
contestants and eon tes tees from Martiu's
ward in Philadelphia. He was followed
by Frank Willing Ieae.h, who had charge
of the Wanamaker bureau during the
late Senatorial campaign, aud was re
plied to by Senator Penrose. At this
juncture Mr. Kooser arose from his seat
near the middle of the hall aud called
out;
"Mr. Chairman?"
" For what purpose does the gentleman
arise?" inquired Chairman Elkin.
" I arise in Ix half of my discredited I
delegates from Somerset County," said
Kooser. I
" Are yon a member of the State Com
mittee?'' asked Elkin. I
" I am not," was ihe reply. I
"The Secretary will proceed with the
roll call," fa id the Chairman. '
"Am I to understand that I have no
voice iu this meeting," plead Mr. KnoKer. I
"The Secretary w ill prtx-ecd with the
roll call," repeated Chairman Elkin, rap- j
ping for order.
Mr. Kooser has been mi long accustom
ed to addressing political bodies of which
he Is not a memlier, such as meetings of
Republican return judges, that he was
apparently amazed at the action of the
Republican State Chairman in declining
lo violate parliamentary rules in order
to permit him hi deliver au hysterical
harangue on the w holesome influence of
"fake" primaries, an, I dropped into his
seat in a dazed condition.
Resident, of Harrisburg rrported next
morning that at a lato hour the preced
ing night the voices of a discordant
quartette was heard along the Imuks f
tho Susquehanna singing in Kiilslued
tones, the chorus :
1 am n icsl old kicker
An' tlml'ajtist what I am,
I hate all rules and regulations.
An' defy Vm all I can,
I never puld an axucFMiiicnt,
An d -in meif I do,
I've not been reconstructed,
I'm a kicker thr.mli and through."
County Treasurer's Per Centals Fixed by
the Court.
The pow er of fixing the per ceutage to
lie retained by the Treasurer of Somerset
county on public money pissing through
his hands as compensation for his services
is vested in the several members of the
boards of Commissioners and Auditors,
by Act of Assembly, and under the con
stitution must Iss agreed upon before the
officer is inducted into cilice. For many
years prior to lf-M the i-r rentage allow-
ed the various Treasurers ranged from
two and one-half to four tier cent, but
during the term of E. E. Pugh as Treas
urer the per ceutage was two per cent.
One of the last official acts of the Commis
sioners and Auditors lfore retiring from
ollice iu the early part of January was to
reduce the percentage of the Treasurer to
one and one-half per cent, or the mini
mum per cenL allowed by law, and also
depiiving the Treasurer of percentage) on
the State property tax. Treasurer Wint
ers, believing that the action of the au
thorities having power to regulate his
compensation was prompted by other
than economic motives and likewise
being anxious to know what peicentage
he was entitled to, had the matter
brought to the attention of the Court,
with the result that oh Thursday the
Court handed down an opinion fixing his
compensation at two per cenL, the samo
as that of his immediate predecessors.

Threatened to Call Oat the Bute Militia.
There was much excitement on the
public square FnJ.iy m , ruing wheu tho
borough authorities attempted to inter
cept workmen engaged at laying a pave
ment ana making other improvements in
front of Hotel Vannear. It seems tint
Mr. C. S. Vaunear had constructed a nlat
rrm eight feet iu length in front of his
property in a Iditiou to putting down a
ten fo.it side walk. Hitherto projierty
owners have been conceded the privi
lege to utilize from three to six feet of the
space reserved for side walks, and w hen
Mr. annear took eiirht feet, vorv vigor
ous kicking was iudulged in. Tho result
was that the Street Commissioner tender
ed his resignation rather than enforce the
views of certain member, of the town
council, who directed him to tear up the
work executed by the hotel man. Al
though Mr. Vannear can not be justified
lor disregarding the orders ol the munici
pal authorities, at the same lime he is en
title- to the thanks of the Denote of Som
erset for making a badly ueeded audsub
tantial improvement.
Biker Heirs Hike a Start.
Decisive steps were taken at the meet
ing of the Executive Committee of the
Biker Heirs' Association at Braddock
last week.
There are now about twenty associa
tions of these heirs, scattered throughout
Western Pennsylvania, Western N'ew
York, and Eastern bio, all claiming di
rect descendance from Peter Baker, the
wealthy Philadelphian, w ho is supposed
to have left an estate ou a ninety-nine-
year lease, now reputed to be wortn fx).
ow.UOO, including the rent from the prop
erty.
It was found at the meeting that enough
money can lie raised to prosecute this
case, and a sub committee was appointed
to gut figures aud engage an attorney,
Irwin M. Hoover, of ilooversville was
named as a member nl this committee.
The sum of foot) was fixed as the limit to
be paid for an investigation. One firm
of attorneys, who want a fee of fTOO,
promise that if, after an investigation,
they discovered that the estate was what
the heirs claim, and that it could be re
covered they would take the case on a
contingent fee of thirtja-tbree per cent ,
spending their own money to fight it
through tho courts if ne,-essary.
Only those who contribute to pay the
expenses of the investigatiou will have
their claim fought by the Association's
attorney. All who do uot will have to
start individual cases to establish their
right to any of the money.
The Committee of the Baker Heirs'
Association which has the authority of
hiring attorneys to push the matter, on
Wednesday engaged F. R. Stouer and R.
M. Ewiug, two Pittsburg lawyers, who
will go to Philadelphia and luake an in
vestigalion at once.
Counterfeit Mileage Tickets, B. A 0. E. B,
Recently there appeared in Pittsburg, a
man giving the name of R. C. Lucas, ac
companied by a woman calling herself
May Anderson, who attempted to dispose
of counterfeit B. . O. Mileage Books.
They did succeed iu selling some to the
broker, and then departed Kir Cleveland!
where they registered at the American
House as R. C. Lucas and wife.
In their efforts to dispose of the spurt
ous tickets, they aroused suspicious,
which were at once communicated to tho
B. A O. Agent, who immediately took
such action as led to the arrest and con
viction of the woman, who was found
guilty of selling counterfeit tickets, and
sentenced to six months in the work
bouse, and to pay a fine of falO and costs.
The man succeeded in making his es
cape, but as he is known to the railroad
people and the police, his arrest is ouly a
question of time.
The B. Jt O. officials have taken every
precaution to prevent the sale or use of
these spurious tickets, and have express
ed a determination lo prosecute to the
fullest extect of the law anyone caught
attempting to use counterfeit mileage or
other bogus forms of transportation, and
will be especially vigorous against brok
era found offeiing them for sale.
