The editor of this paper is not a prophet: nor the son of a prophet, venture the assertion that in six months from now TRE STAR will be the only Somerset county paper that will have a cirenlation in this vicinity worth speak- jug of.

We believe the miners are gbout right and we believe if they get up a petition for a county bridge it will win. * The Junior Order of United American Mechanics is voting on a change of name, the new name proposed being “Order of United Americans.” Each council will continue to ballot for several weeks, and then the result will he made known. Elk Lick council is largely in favor of the new name, and in The STAR's opinion that should be the case in every council. The present name of the order is both bunglesome and misleading. We have an excellent write-up of the Christiias services held in the Reformed church, which was handed tous bv a friend, but awing toa rush in ‘our job department this week, the report, with other matter, will not appear until next week. Perhaps by that time some one could write up the services held at the other churches. We would like to have a write-up of them all, and not being able to attend any of the services, we will have to depend on others for reports. George Lowry, another of the promi- nent farmers uf this locality, called at our den the other day to subscribe. He remarks that THE STAR not only contains more home news than any of the other county papers, but is also well loaded with interesting news from nearly all parts of the world. Mr. Lowry is one of those considerate sort of men that never say a grest deal, but always knows what he is talking about when he does say something. We appreciate compliments from such men. Your attention is called to the excellent article in this issue from the pen of H. A. Reitz, the popular miller of West Salis- bury. Mr. Reitz brings ont some excel- lent points that are well worth reading and considering... He. i8 in favor of changing the name of our town, post: office, telegraph office and railway station, which is right and proper, hut we can not quite agree with him on ‘a name so short ss to require bnt three letters to spell it.

While here he remarked that he is red hot in favor of changing the name of this town, postoffice and railway station.

Fortunately Willie held the gun with muzzle down- ward and nothing more serious than ® hole in ithe floor resulted. HORRIBLE CRIME. A Dastardly Attempt at Murder Near Hooversville, this County. At an early hour last Thursday morn- ing a horrible crime wag committed near Hooversville, which for brutality and cowardice could hardly be excelled. Two young miners, one by the name of Turner, an Irishman, and Salmon, an Englishman, entered the shanty of an old miner named Bittner and fried to} murder him. They left him for dead with something like fourteen ugly wounds about his person. Salmon held the old man while Turner ripped the victim's jaws and cut his tongue nearly out, He also made an attempt to cot the old man 8 throat. but made a poor job of it. How- over. after they thought they had about finished Bittner, they returned to their hoarding place and related what they had done and seemed to be little con- cerned about the matter. Mr. Rodgers, the man with whom the villains boarded, then investigated the matter and found that tke report was but too true. He found Bittner lying in a pool of blood, nearly dend, but he was still conscious and able to relate the tragedy. Rodgers | then made arrangements for the care of Bittner and had the would-be murderers placed under arrest and lodged in the Somerset jnil. Bittner was still living at last reports, and it is sald that he will likely recover. Turner and Salmon will likely be tried at the February term of court, ‘The murderous scoundrels onght to be lynched. ————— A PATRIOTIC WORK, Every person who is opposed to Free Trade Slavery and favors American Industrial Inde- pendence secured through the policy of Pro- . tection, should read the documents published by the American Protective Tariff League.
