Archie Cochrane, who for some time resided at Bloomington, Md., has again brought his family back to this town. Glad to get Archie back; he isa good citizen. Down at the Boynton sawmill they re- cently sawed 5,092 feet of stnck lumber, consisting of 2x8. 2x6 and inch boards, in two hours. What mill in this vicinity can heat that? If the sons of men don’t soon quit ask- ing us whether it is hot enough for us, some of them will learn that man was not only made to mourn, but to groan, bleed and die as well. The Meversdale Register thinks J. M. Hay onght to become a resident of Mey- ersdale. 'I'HE STAR would rather see him locate in Salisbury, which 1s a much prettier and better town.

The Mineral City cornet band and the choir of the First Lutheran church, of Johnstown, will furnish the music for the Lutheran reunion, at Friedens, Sept. 1st. This Reunion promises to be a very enjoyable affair. The Reformed church. was very gayly decorated last Sunday, when Harvest Home services were held. The services are highly spoken of. The Reforms have church decoration down to a fine art up- on such occasions. \ Don’t forget the Catholic picnic, on Bat- urday, in the. K. of L. grove. You will have a dandy, good time, if you attend this picnic. as the Catholics always treat their patrons very courteously and spare no pains to give them a good time. Quite a number of people from this place attended the big picnic, at Frost- burg, Saturday last. All report a big time. Our band, however. did no go, owing to the fact that some of the boys had work and could not get away. Harvey Heinbaugh, who used to attend normal school in this town, but who is now running a wholesale liquor store in Cumberland, Md., was here on business this week. Harvey has got to be quite a giant; he tips the beam at 230 pounds. Miss Emma Livengood was unable to act as organist, last Sunday, in the Luth- eran church. on account of a sore finger. We hope that she has fully recovered from all inconvenience from the offend- ing digit. Mrs. Dr. Speicher, however, makes a good substitute ‘for Miss Liven- good. It seems that nearly all the boys in this town born of Democratic parents are turning out to be Republicans. One of E Statler's young sons got very cross the other day when we called him a Dem: ocrat. He said he wouldn’t belong to that party for anything. J.C. Balliet's young son also dons a Harrison cap. Last week one day Mr. Milton Miller tested his steam carriage for the first time. The test was fairly satisfactory, and only some slight modifications are needed to make it a success. These will be made at the inventor's leisure. The carriage including the engine, is the handiwork of Mr. Miller.—Meyersdale Register. We had the pleasure on monday of making the acquaintance of Rev. John E. Bushnell, A. M., Professor of Philoso- phy and Catechetics, or Kee Mar College. Hagerstown, Md.

We are informed that a staunch Dem- ocrat of Elk Lick recently got-a pension and turned Republican. He is reported to have said that he will help the party that has helped him—that if Cleveland had been President his pension would likely have been added to the hundreds of pensions vetoed by that noted substi- tute hirer. The man takes the right view of it. The Berlin marble works is having some fine job work done at this office, this week. As soon as you die, go to Berlin and order yourself a fine monn- ment or get of tomb stones. This works turng out the best marble and granite work in the country, and at the most reasonable prices. Somerset county has reason to be proud of the Berlin marble works. I. D. Leydig teels sure of a sweeping Republican victory, this fall, and he un- doubtedly hus good ground for his belief. He says while coming to town, the other day, he was sifting in his buggy, think- ing of Ben Harrison, and while he was thus absorbed in thought he say three racoons cross the road in front of him. This, Mr. Leydig thinks, is a sure omen of Republican victory, and it undoubted- ly is. An effort is being made to organize a lodge of Knights of Pythias in Somerset. A charter application is now in the hands of a member of the order and it is thought the lodge will be organized within a month. Meyersdale, Addison and Salis- bury have flourishing lodges of this grow- ing order. The Knights of Pythias ranks third among secret societies in point of numbers in the United States, the Masons and Odd Fellows leading them.—Stand- ard. Not long ago Milt Beachy stopped to get a drink at the big spring at the Find- lay limestone quarry, and he found that a man is in danger of snakes, even if he drinks nothing but water. While stoop- ing over'to get a drink at the aforesaid spring, a huge snake of some kind sprang viciously at him and caught his arm. The bite drew no blood, but it left a mark on hisarm. No bad effect followed, however, but Milt has no use for snakes ever since. W. A.

They came overland, in a buggy. and had the misfortune of having a wreck. the horse falling down and breaking the shafts of the vehicle. Mr. Leydig ac- cordingly acted as horse himself, part of the way. and pulled the buggy toa farm house, where he left it and procured an- other one. Mr. L. says the weather is verv dry down about Glencoe, but thinks their crop of buckwheat cakes will be all right, if they get rain soon. Daniel 'Karns, of Meyersdale. met with quite a serions accident on Tuesday while driving along the road leading to the Findlay bridge, east of Salisbury.

We should try the new plan before we have to vote for “keeps.” There is noth- ing like being posted. Lije Livengood's sugar bounty this year amounted to over $200.

K. WALKER, Salisbury, Pa. WE notice in a western exchange an article setting forth that the Republican and Democratic parties have outlived their usefulness and that thinking voters should vote the People’s party ticket. The article sets forth that the two'old parties are dominated by corrupt and self-secking politicians, who have only in view the emoluments of office and are insensible to the exegencies of the day. The writer further states that the People’s party is composed of dissatisfied farmers, who have borne the yoke of oppression as long as human nature can endure; of trade unionists, who represent the most advanced thought in political economy; of socialists or nationalists and all man- ner of progressive thinkers; the bones, sinew and brains of the American nation. Now, all this would be startling, if true, but it is not true. We know a great deal about the People’s party, having lived in the west, where it is the strongest, and our observation revealed the fact that the thinking, industrious and most intel- ligent farmers could not be found in the new party. On the other hand, we no- ticed that the lazy, ignorant class who spend most of their time at the village groceries, whittling merchandise boxes, were in almost every instance members of the People’s party. It is also plain to any observing man that the leaders of the new party are political soreheads and constitute, in the main, the most corrupt political outcasts that ever disgraced the ranks of the two old parties—men who clung to the two old parties as long as they held fat offices therein, but cutloose from them as soon as the people had enough of them and relegated them to the rear. They now want to pose as great political reformers and by that means again get into office. For exam- ple. we will take C. H.

Think of it, a man worth several millions of dollars, who owns section after section of land in the west, and kept out of the reach of actual set- tlers—think of such. a man expecting tus be elected Governor of Nebraska by the votes of oppressed farmers and laborers! The People’s party is not the poor man’s party. It is the party of political trick: sters, idle dreamers and ignorant dupe Mr. Van Wyck in a recent speech likened the People’s party to the Republican par- ty at time of its birth, and the leaders of this new party to the leaders of the Re- publican party at that time. But alas, what a contrast! The Rupublican party at the time of its birth had men like the immortal Lincoln, John C. Fremont and many other acknowledged greatand pure men. The People’s party has Calamity Weaver, Crazy Horse Van Wyck, Soc less Simpson and a horde of other equall corrupt and professional office-seeke The comparison is about the same an a comparison of Jesus Christ and.
