The epidemic of measles that has pre
vailed in Somerset and surrounding
country during the past month has about
d;ed out. Very few families escaped the
disease, and in many instances entire
families were afflicted. The old theory
that me isles cannot be contracted more
than once by the same person was ex
ploded, as hundreds of children and
grown persons w ho had previously suf
fered from the disease were attacked a
second, and in several instances, a third
time.

weeks before he wa arrested and brought

How, in response to the above invita
iou some forty trusted frieuds of t.e
bosses'' met with them in caucus on the
evening of May 21, and after diligeutly
comparing notes" proceeded to ilre B. T.
Pullin, N. E. Berkey and other candi
dates for Prothonotary from the field in
order that John O. Emert, who has held
the lucrative post of clerk to the Com
missioners for the past six years, might
have a clear track ; how "boss" Shober
forced all other aspirants to quit the race
for Register and Recorder, as he proposed
to nominate his man Kimmel for that
position; how a "committee" was ap
pointed to fix np candidates for County
Commissioner, aid hovv thit otnrnitte
met and at the dictation of "boss" Shober,
after, we presume a brief season of fast
ing and prayer, solemnly concluded it
would never do to run counter to the
wishes of so powerful a "boss" as "boss"
Shober, and forthwith proceeded to in
form Joseph Horner and Poter Bowman
that when they were distributing cards
and electioneering for the office of County
Commissioner they were only dreaming,
and to proclaim W. X. Moser and U. D.
Braucher, the slated and "endorsed" can
didates for that position, is now a matter
of ancient history. The selection of can
didates for Delegates to tbe State Conven
tion was the Paal work of tbe "com
mittees" appointed by the "comparti
notes" meeting, and now, having them
selves decided ou candidates for every
position to be filled at the coming Re
publican primary, considerately reliev
ing the common voter of the labor of
selecting or choosing his own candidates,
they, in the classic language of Candi
date Horner, propose to spend the re
mainder of the campaign in an effort "to
'learn' tbe people how to vote intelligent
ly," that is, to vote without a scratch the
ticket, the-, the "bosses," have selected.
These lessons ou ''intelligent voting"
are given in secret, behind closed doors,
and by such past-masters iu the art of
"intelligent voting" as D. J. Horner, W.
H. Kooutx, J. A. Berkey, and a limited
number of their talented and experienced
instructors. We presume tbe questions
treated include such subjects as "How to
Scratch a Ticket," "The Advantages of
Minority Rule." "How to Intelligently
Vote tbe Democratic Ticket at the Gen
eral Election if the Man of Your Choice
is not Successful at the Primaries," "The
Best Method of Bolting Party Caucuses
and Defeating Party Nominees," and
other kiudrfd topics.
True, the discussion of such topics at
tbe organization of a "McKinley League"
would seem to be out of place. President
McKinley has always been known as a
firm believer in party regularity, organ
ization, majority rule, and unalterably
opposed to "kicking." "bolting." or
"scratching" a regularly nominated tick
et, so that tbe name is apparently a mis
nomer, and, we are informed that the
'McKinley League" scheme has already
been abandoned as it was considered too
dangerous a "fake," it being dlfllciult to
make voters believe that it was necessary
to hold secret meetings, where none but
the truly good ould he admitted, for the
innocent purpose of organising a "Mc
Kinley League."
The Gr.-.t lessons in "intelligent voting"
were given at Jenners some ten days
since, but the doctrine attempted to be
taught does not aeem to have been ac
ceptable to the Republican voters of that
township, who naturally think them
selves aufficieutly intelligent to do their
own voting without instructions from
Assemblyman Koontz, his side-partner
and ubiquitous shadow, D. J. Horner, J.
A. Berkey, et. al , and they rightfully re
sented the insult attempted to be placed
upon them, and to such an extent that
the "Uisvea" reodived word from oue of
their "sub-bosses" at Jenners a few days
after the meeting to the effect that "that
meetin' had stirred up tuullin in Jenner
township, and that .inless the slated can
didates could get In there and stem the
tide, Jenners could be counted as lost to
the causa of 'Ihtss dictation and minori
ty rule."
Stonycreek township Republicans were
given their first lea-ton in "intelligent
voting" last week, as were the Republi
cans of Meyersdale, and. now that the
last "committee" has made iu report the
"Instructors" will have time to visit tbe
remaining precincts of the county in rapid
auooession.
It has been suggested that a number of
changes In the curriculum will have to be
made or the slated ticket will surely suf
fer defeat. The people are demanding
that Assemblyman Koontz, instead of
telling tbeut bow he helped "lick"Quay,
and bow to vote the ticket he assisted in
slating, explain why he did not oppose
the passage of the seven month school
tetn bill, why be remained dumb as an
oyster while this measure was before the
House, why it was that he could find
time and voice to go up and down tbe
State making political speeches iu an ef
fort to sow dissension and discord within
his party, yet could not find timeor voice
to serve his constituents by opposing this
measure so distasteful to a large majority
of them. They would also like bim to
explain bis course in bolting the Republi
can caucus, refusing to vole for the party
nominee for United States Senator, block
ing needed legislation, and preventing
the pssaagii of measures providing suffi
cient revenue to meet tbe demands on the
Treasury and necessitating the reduction
of the public school appropriation. They
are also anxious to have bim explain why
be and his colleague, Kendall delayed tbe
Introduction of the bill propoeiug to
salary certain county officials until the
time for advertising it so that it could be
properly introduced had gone by, and
then attempted to sell their constituents
a "gold brick" by introducing it when
every Intelligent schoolboy in thecounty
knew that it could not be oonsidered, and
that Its attempted Introduction was a
fake" of the rankest kind.
When these and a few other matters
that the people are interested In have
hwm fully explained by Assemblyman
Koonts, they will still have other matter
to be explaiued by bis fellow "bosses" be
fore th6y conclude to "vote intelligently,"
or to vot the "boss" dictated ticket.
The "Republican voters cf the county
had au Ificient confidence in Assembly-rof-n
Kooulx and Kendall to elect them
last yesr. end how they betisyed thut
lriit and tet tbe w ishes if their contit
ueuts at dt fiance, eveiy oue who is fa
miliar with thbir record at Harrisburg
!st winter knows. They new ask tbe
Republican voters of tbe county to en
dornc their action and to elect a ticket
they and their fellow "bosses" have
named for them.
The "bosses" have completed tbr
ticket; will thi people nominate it, or
w ill llu-y el-t candidates of their own
choosing
The choice is with them.
Crooked Should Be Straightsaed.
The crooked eye loses its sharp vision,
lesidos, the deformity. There is no dan
ger or paiu iu the operation. Consult Dr.
Sadler, the Oculist, of Penn Ave.,

'FAZE" EEF0SKEE3 AT THEIS OLD
OAMX.-TEYIKO TO "JAKE" THE
PEOPLE.
The hypocrisy of the so called reformers
was never more strikingly illustrated
than the present attempt to dev-eive the
voters of the county by charging the reg
ular Republican organization of the State
with being repousible for the increase of
the minimu'ii school term, and for clip
ping 1 ,0u0,G00 from the school appropria
tion. So far as Governor Stone's action in
cutting down the public school appropri
ation is concerned there Is not a citizen of
Pennsylvania, except the hypocritical re
formers who are seeking to gain a fac
tional advantage, who does not regret
that he was compelled to do so but,
when tbe bolting members of the Legis
lature refused to provide sufficient reve
nue to defray the current expenses of the
Sute government, the Governor was left
no alternative.
The enliie question is a very simple
oue. I tie State revenues had to be In
creased or the expenditures cut down,
and we venture to assert that there is not
an honest taxpayer in Somerset county
who does not believe that it is far wiser to
curtail expenditures than to build up a
debt that must ultimately be paid by tax
ation. Representatives Koontz and Kendall
were, we believe, the only two members
of the Flinn-Martin faction who voted
against increasing the minimum school
term and tbe extent of their influence, if
they had any and exerted it, must be
judged by the vote cast against the bill in
the House, a total of forty-one, while one
hundred and forty-one votes were cast in
favor of tbe bill. In order to escape
further censure for their inactivity and
lukewarmness to the interests of their
constituents they now attempt to hold
the regular Rfpublicans responsible for
the sii cccs8 of the measu re. w h icb wag su p
ported by nearly every bolting Republi
can and their Democratic allies. It would
be equally unfair for the friends of Repre
sentatives Koontz and Kendall to shift
tbe responsibility for the failure of tbe
bill to salary certain ounly officials, or
the bill to make wholesalers retailers of
whisky, as to charge Governor Stone
with protecting the brewery interests to
the detriment of the public schools of the
State.
Not satisfied with misrepresenting tbe
facts in onnedion with the passage of
the school bill, against which Representa
tive Koontz failed to utter a word, the
fake" organ in its last l-isue and by
printed circulars scattered throughout
tbe county falsifies the report of tbe
Superintendent of Public Instruction,
hoping to thereby divert the attention of
tbe Republican voters of the county from
tbe record made by their Representatives
st Harrisburg.
The voters of the county know where
to place the responsibility for the cut iu
tbe school appropriation and they are not
going to be deceived by the hypocritical
vaporings of the tools of Bosses Flinn
and Martin into supporting a county
ticket dictated by a few would-be bosses
in Somerset at a midnight caucus, called
for the purpose of "comparing note"
with sub-bosses from a number of tbe
election districts who were invited to be
present.
Diicharg e from the Ear, Dsafneis
Neglected, are certain to grow worse.
Scientifically treated, every case can be

Jfiw Olte Law la Fores.
Anxiously waited by the dairymen.
and equally feared by tbe olej dealers,
tbe new law respecting the silo of oleo
margarine went into effect June 1st,
The law, which will be particularly hard
on tmall dealers and the proprietors of
boarding houses, provides that
"Every person who shall sell or have in
his or her posession oleomargarine, but-
terine or auy similar substance shall first
olitaia from the department of Agricul-
tuie, through its agent, the dairy and food
commissioner, a license authorizing him
or her to engage in the sale of oleomarga
rine, for which license he or she shall pay.
i retailer, the annual sum of $100; if a
hotel proprietor or restaurant keeper,
and if a boarding house keeper, the an
nual sum of f 10. Before any person shall
aell or have in hia or her possession oleo
margarine he or she shall be required to
procure a sign or signs clearly setting
forth that he or she is engaged in the sale
of oleomargarine; these signs shall be
hung in a conspicuous place."
A violation in the smallest letter of
thia law may result In the trial of the of
fender in either tbe civil or criminal
courts.
Three deputies, under dairy and food
Commissioner Levi Wells, are busy ar
ranging to enforce the statute against
those dealers who have not as yet paid
the fee required by the law and provided
themselves with signs. It is likely that
s'.Ill more men will have to be employed
if a bouse to house inspection ia to be
made.

CAN'T HANG A MAN TWICE,
XTaiqns Position of Samuel FUr Xtytri,
Twice CoavisUd of Harder in th
First Degr.
CASE WITHOUT A FAEAtLEL.
At 4:15 o'clock Wednesday afternoon
the jury returned a verdict of murder in
the first degree ia the case uf Samuel Pe
ter Meyers for tbe killing of John Len-
hart. The jury retired shortly before
o'cl'x-k and their deliberations occupied
two hour. Tbe solemn countenances of
the juror when they Clod Into the box
boded ill for tbe defendant and no sur
prise was expressed when their verdict
was announced. The defendant was
noticeably affected during the formalities
of taking the verdict, and once resumed
his seat, but quickly arose to bis feet
when Attorney Holbert tcld him to do so.
His face was ashen white aud he shifted
uneasily from one foot to tbe other.
When the verdh-t had een recorded At
torney Holbert asked that the jury be
polled aud as each juror arose to his feet
Meyers elevated his eyes and looked
straight into tbe face of the juror. Mr.
Holbert received permission from the
Court to file motions for a new trial and
In arrest of judgment within four days
after the stenographer has filed a tran
script of the evidence.
The Meyers case is said to be unique in
tbe history of criminal jurisprudence.
So far as is known Samuel Peter Meyers
is tbe first man in Pennsylvania, or in the
country, who has been twice convicted of
murder in the first degree, only three
days intervening between the findings of
the two juries, as he may be tbe first man
in the State to be sentenced to death twice
on the same day. Anticipating that the
application for new trials will be denied
and that the two eases will be taken up
for review by the Supreme Court, and
that the verdicts will be affirmed by that
body, his counsel may still have recourse
to the Board of Pardons. Should the
Board of Pardons refuse a pardon or
commutation ot sentonce it will then de
volve upon the Governor to Issue two
death warrants to the Sheriff of the coun
ty, one directing the execution of Meyers
for the murder of Michael Karney and
the other directing his execution for the
murder of John Leu hart. The Sheriff
will make return to the court of the exe
cution of tbe condemned man on the first
warrant, thus completing the record in
the Karney case, and tbe warrant in the
Lenhart case will be endorsed "for exe
cution of this warrant see warrant in
Commonwealth vs. Meyers, No. 8, Sept.
term, 118, O. & T. of Somerset couuty,
Pa.," which will also close the record in
the Lenhart case.
Strange as It may appear the finding of
the jury in the case against Meyers for
the murder of Karney did not reach tbe
ears of the jurors in the case against
Meyers for the murder of Lenhart until
after they returned their verdict, and it is
needless to add that each one of the
twelve men drew a long sigh of relief
when they learned that tbe two verdicts
were the same and that the prisoner, if
executed, will be executed iu consequence
of the verdict returned by the first jury.
The various phases and complications
growing out of Samuel Peter Meyers'
willful murder of two men will furnish
food for conversation throughout the
county for a long time.
Should counsel for the defendant carry
the cases to the Supreme Court it is more
than likely that they will ask to have tbe
cases sent back for retrial on tbe grouud
that the defendant is a paranoiac, the
mo t dangerous class of lunatics known,
being able to distinguish perfectly be
tween abstract right and wrong, but una
ble to control his will and actions in cer
tain cases. Counsel for defendant made
their arguments to tbe juries along tbst
line.
Constable Nelson Lenhart, of Summit
township, a brother of John Lenhart,one
of the men murdered by Meyers, was un
tiring iu his efforts to work up the Com
monwealth's case, aud the result of his
labors was shown in both trials, the
Commonwealth presenting its side in
both Instances clearly and forcibly, zeal
ously guarding agaiust the introduction
of extraneous mutter that might tend to
perplex the minds of the jurors.
The Meyers case adds another to the
notable murder trials In the Somerset
county court during the past ten years.
If the Meyers case is without a parallel,
the same can be said of tbe Nicely and
Roddy cases. In each of which two
brothers were found guilty of murder in
the first degree and were executed on the
same scaffold for almost a similar crime.
Headache, Weak Zyet, Eye-Strain.
Often those who see sharply suffer se
verely from headache, after even moder
ate use of their eyes, but, seeing so well,
attribute tbe pains to othor causes; and
yet, medicine fail to cure. The Iron hie
is in irregulir refraction, and can only be
relieved by the most skillful adjustment
of glasses.

Co-Operative Mutual Fire Iaiurance Co.,
Berlin, Fenn'a,
The only Fire Insurance Company in
four counties that insures stores, merch
andise, town and farm property ; aud of
this class of insurance it Is the only
known Fire Insurance Company thai is
sues policies for five years, aud allows tbe
assured to withdraw any time by giving
five days' notice, when the premium note
will be returned with the full amount of
cash deposit, without auy extra charge
for short-rate insu ranee. The total assess
ments in five years can not exceed the
amount of tbe note.
The opponents of Mutual Insurance
won Id have the insured believe that a
Mutual Company can only exist a few
years. Let ns see. There are more than
two hundred and fifty Mutual Fire Insu
rance Companies in this State, and more
than one hundred have been In business,
03 an average, over thirty years, and
more than thirty have been in business,
oa average, over fifty years. Some long
winded Mutuals and it seems they have
come to stay.
The Insurance Commissioner, in his re
port, says: "The honestly-managed Mu
tual Companies afford the best class of
protection at the least possible cost, while
those organized for the benefit of specu
lative managers are simply worse swlo
dlers than tbe rightly-abused lotteries."
Opponents of Mutual Insurance would
have the insured believe that all Mutuals
are of the latter class, but try the Co-operative
with at least part of your insu
rance, and be convinced (bat we are of
the former, that affords the best class cf
protection at the least possible cost.
