Quite a number of Salisbury folks at- tended the bush-meeting, at New Ger- many, last Sunday. All report a good time. : The Arkansaw Thomas Cat is run on this unique platform: ‘Our principle— the elevation of horse thieves and public morals.” THERE are Cubans in this country who appear to think that country can be made into a republic by holding mass meetings over here. Lutheran reunion today. Lots of peo- ple going from here. Reformed reunion tomorrow, which will also be largely at- tended from here. Quite a number. of our X. P. men went to Meyersdale, Friday, to attend the fu- neral of Bro. Austin, late clarionet play- er of the Meyersdale band. Will Fair has been keeping ‘‘bach” this week, his wife having gone away ona visit. Will says it doesn’t seem much like home without his wife. It is stated that wasps’ nests often take fire. supposed to be caused by the chemi- cal action of the wax upon the paper ma- terial of the nest itself. —Ex. The W.C.T. U. has selected a bad time for the convention, owing to the numerous reunions, picnics, etc.. that take place about the same time. Miss Annie Lichty arrived safely at Carleton, Neb., and writes home that she would not be afraid to travel to Califor- nia alone. Glad to hear of her safe ar- rival. THE STAR's U. 8. flag envelopes are great sellers—going like ‘‘hot cakes” all the time. Call and see them and trv a pack. Every patriotic citizen should use ‘them. C. R. Haselbarth & Son have lately _ been doing a great deal of roofing work in Garrett county. They are the fellows to do it right, every time, and don’t you forget it An Iowa publisher acknowledges the receipt of an egg which “was laid on our table by the Rev. Mr. Smith.” Mr. Smith seems to be a layman as well as a minister. ft is reported here that H. J. Riblet, ; the journeyman sign painter, who was . doing work in this town, last spring, was recently killed by the cars, at Hyndman, while on a spree. The Cumberland and Same coke ovens will be charged this week, and will . run full. This would seem to be an indi- cation of an improvement in the coke market.—Register. Commissioner Casteel sold to, Bilas Beachy, of Accident district, two bun- dred and seventy head of sheep, which were shinped to Philadelphia, Wednes- day.—Oakland Republican. Mrs. 8. C. Keim went to Elkins, W. Va.. Inst Friday, having received word that her son. Louis, was afflicted with a severe case of rheumatism. We hope the young man will soon recover. Voters of this borough will do well to go to the Hay house and examine the registry list to see whether they are en- rolled and assessed. If not registered be- fore Sept. 8th’ you can not vote. That was an excellent sermon that Rev. Kribbs preached last Sunday evening, on “One Thing.” Mr. Kribbs preach- es very practical sermons, and they are the kind that are most in demand. Milton L. Baer, a former resident of this place, has been nominated by the Democrats of Seattle, Washington, for the office of Municipal Judge—the best gift of the city.—Somerset Herald. Mrs. 8. C.

Tell your friends that Stewart’s head- ache powders are a positive cure, a harm- less remedy. containing soda and char- coal. unlike any other. Only 10 and 25 cents a box. Ask J.L. Barchus about them. tf. Sunday evening Dr. George Brallier’s bay horse, known as ‘old Tom,” was stolen from his owner's stable at Berlin. The Dr. offers a liberal reward for the return of the horse and the capture of the thief.—Herald. There are prospects of the establish- ment of another Democratic paper in Bomerset. Major J. B. Tredwell and Will Kimmell are negotiating for the pur- chase of the plant of the Highland Farm- er with this object in view.—Standard. Mr. Ross, of Bedford, Mr. Hanna. of Confluence, Mr. Kemp, of Confluence, Mr. Kemp, of Meyersdale, Lumber In- spector Decker, of Philadelphia and 8. A. Kendall, of Rockwood, were among the numerous guests at the Valley house this week. It is rumored that a petition is in cir- culation in this Congressional district for the purpose of having the name of an Al- liance candidate placed on the tickets to be voted in November. It is said that the petition favors Mr. E. H. Werner as the candidate.—Somerset Standard. Lt. Samuel Kephhart, recently gradu- ated from the U. 8. Military Academy at West Point, was in Somerset last Thurs- day for the purpose of ealling upon Con- gressman Scull, whose appointee he was. Lt. Kephhart has been assigned to the artillery arm of the service.—Herald. 8. Lowry & Son have purchased what is known as the Wm. 8. Lichty furniture building.

The Jr. O. U. A. M. will have a grand picnic at Cumberland. Md., Saturday, Sept. 24th. No less than fifty of the Jun- iors from this place will attend, and they will be accompanied by the Salisbury Silver Cornet Band. A big time is an- ticipated, and all who want to have a rattling good time on that day should go to Cumberland. We acknowledge with thanks the re- ceipt of a pass good until Dec. 81st, 1892. on the steamer. City of Lincoln, which plys regularly on Salt Lake, at Lincoln, Neb. This lakeis two miles long and one mile wide, and the steamer, City of Lincoln, is capable of carrying 500 pas- sengers. The lake is getting to be a fam- ous pleasure resort. Mr. George B. Baer, eldest son of our fellow townsman H. L. Baer, Esg., has recently been appointed official gauger of Sonoma county, one of the greatest California. Mr. Baer has been a resident of the Golden state for the past seven years and is the editor of the Cloverdale, Cal., Sentinel.—Somerset Herald. Mr. Jonas M. Cook has a corn stalk in his garden that is drawing forth the ad- miration of all who see it. ‘‘Jumbo,” as Mr. Cook calls it, is a volunteer, and stands 18 feet and eight inches from the ground to top'of tassel. It bears two ears of corn each 15 inches in length— one 7 feet and the other 7} feet from the ground. ‘‘How’s that for high?”’—S8om- erset Standard. Just what was done at the oil meeting, Tuesday, is pretty hard to find out, as those who attended tell different stories about it. Sam Mier says the well isn’t in as bad a condition as reported, and he further says that it shall not be aban- doned. as he proposes to soon have a man on hand to clean it out and again be ready for boring. We will know more about the oil enterprise in the near future. Dr. Livengood, of Elizabeth, N. J., is in town shaking hands with his numer- ous friends here.. He thinks of returning to Elizabeth next Monday. The doctor is looking hale and is as genial as ever. He thinks our climate is delightful at present, much more so than that of Eliz. abeth. He says the thermometer regis- tered 95 in-doors, at mid-night, in that wine producing districts in the state of. were overcome by the extreme heat. last Spring, returned to this part of the country ngain, last week. He spent his time in Kansas and Nebraska, and he brings excellent crop reports with him, but says the corn crop in some sec- tions of those states will be a partial fail- ure. He says most of the Somerset coun- ty folks are doing well, and next spring he will move west again himself, for the reason that his health is better there than here. Somerset people would do well to look to their water supply. Kimberly Run is loaded, or at least a gun was found in it, Friday of last week. It has not vet been decided whether thé gun belonged to one Hiram Fisher, who claims he had it stol- en from him six years ago, or to Rip Van Winkle. who mislaid it in his squirrel hunt, one afternoon, when he partook two freely of “moonshine flagon” for which Somerset county has been so famous. — Hyndman Bulletin. ‘“Those who failed to attend the lecture of Rev. Anna 8haw missed a rare oppor- tunity, as it is not often that we have a speaker of such ability among us. She delivered one of the most eloquent and powerful addresses ever pronounced upon that platform. The address lasted about an hour and a half, and was full of sound logic and interspersed with anecdotes. The bearing of the speaker is that of a refined and cultivated lady, and it is quite safe to say that if she comes 10 Newtown again, as it is hoped she may, she will be greeted by a full house. —Newtown En- terprise. Everybody in this and adjoining coun- ties knows “Old Tice.” the clock mender. He was “Old Tice” fifty years ago. and looks as though he might be “Old Tice” for fifty more. Tice is a philosopher and a theologian, as well as an expert in clocks. Talking about heaven the other day, he said that when he got there he expected to meet three surprises. The first would be tkat some people he ex- pected to find there were not on hand; the second that some people he didn’t expect to see would be there; but the third, and greatest surprise, would be to find himself there.—Somerset Democrat. The figures furnished from the Collect- or of Internal Revenues office for this district estimating the number of pounds of maple sugar produced in this county on which no bounty was claimed are very misleading. Bounty was paid on 225.872 pounds, and the Collector esti- mates that 112,936 pounds were manufac- tured by unlicensed producers. It is be- lieved that Elk Lick township alone pro- duced more than the entire amount on which bounty was paid and the number of estimated pounds. In 1889 the asses- sors of the county returned over 800,000 pounds of maple sugar produced the pre- ceding year.—Somerset Herald. Itis the desire of the Chief of the Weather Bureau to extend as widely as possible the dissemination of the ecold- wave and frost warnings in districts where such warnings will be of value. Any community or pérson desirious of having a display station established should address H. L. Ball, Assistant Di- rector State Weather Service, Philadel- phia, as soon as possible. Flags for dis- play will be furnished by the Weather Burean and the telegrams will be sent at Government expense. It will not be practicable to establish more than one station at a place nor at inland towns cut off from direct telegraphic communica- tion, R. P. Kennedy. Esq., the Tall Syca- more of the Fayette bar, was in town, Tuesday evening, enroute for Baltimore where he will argue the claim of Michael Nilan d of this place, father of young Niland who was murdered on his engine at Yoder this springby Florenee Fuhrer, before the officers of the B. & O. Relief Association. Fireman Niland was a member of the association, and under its rules hig next of kin, which in this case, are his parents, are entitled to $1,000, in case of accidental death or $500 in case of natural death. Niland demands $1.000, and the association offers $500. The question is rather a nice one. Ni- land the younger died in the line of duty, but his death was not ‘‘accidental” nor was it strictly a ‘‘natural” death. Attor- ney Kennedy argues that his client is en- titled to $1,000 or nothing.—Connellsville Courier, We have beard ' and read a good many snake stories, but none more remarkable than one related by Robert Hannah, the ice man. Mr. Hannah handles the Con- neaut Lake ice in this city. It is shipped in cakes from nine to fourteen inches thick, and weighing about two hundred pounds. While handling one of these large cakes a couple of days ago, Mr. Hannah was surprised to observe directly in the center of the cake a large water snake, artistically coiled and apparently frozen solid. The cake of ice was split open and the snake removed, a work which required careful management, as the reptile was frozen fast to the ice. After inspecting the snake to their satis- faction, it was thrown out on a pile of sawdust in the sun, and in less than an hour it began to show signs of life, final- ly uncoiling itself and crawling awav. The cake of ice in which the snake was discovered was cut last January, hence the reptile was frozen solid for a period of about seven months.—Hyndman Bul- letin. This paper has spoken before of care- less shooting and cautioned people to be careful in handling fire arms, but we are city, recently, and says many people Rev. Jonathan Kelso, who went west subject, another instance of careless shooting having ocenrred in this vicinity a few weeks ngo. 8B. A. Beachy brought a bullet to this office which came very near striking his wife’s head, and had it struck her would in all probability have killed her instantly. Mr. Beachy says the circumstances were as follows: Sev eral persons were down at the river, just west of his house, supposed to have been shooting mark. The shots were evident- ly fired in the direction of the house, for a bullet came whizzing past Mrs. Beachy’s face, very narrowly missing her, and passing through an inch door. striking a second door, where it stopped and was imbedded in the wood. “It will thus be seen that the bullet came with a great deal of force, although the persons doing the shooting doubtless thought the house was away beyond the range of the gun. The moral of this is, be careful how you shoot and where you shoot, for “Many a shaft at random sent Finds mark the archer little meant.” Some of the respectable citizens living out in the south part of town request THE BTAR to state thata certain young married man in that portion of the town has been treating his wife so shamefully that they can tolerate his brutal conduct no 'onger. These citizens sav that they propose to take him from his home. one of these nights, tie him to a tree, bare his back and lash him until there isn't a square inch of unlashed hide left on his worthless carcass, unless he stops short in hig brutal career and treats his wife with the respect she deserves. It pains us to learn of the conduct of the young man referred to, and we regret that such severe remedies sometimes be- come necessary in such cases as this; but if all reports are trne, and many good men say they are true, we say go on with the lashing. for hy what we can learn from others, every respectable citi- zen in town would rejoice over it. Tae citizens say they do not want to resort to such severe punishment without giving fair warning, but if the warning is not heeded, they say that there will be wail ing and gnashing of teeth that will not soon be forgotten. And judging from the look of determination that was seen in the faces of the enraged men who ordered the notice, they mean business with a big B. There are also a few other aases in this vicinity that will be attended “to by these men and others, if occasion re- quires it. Grand Picnic on Labor Day. The Salisbury band and the Knights of Labor, of this place, will have a grand picnic on Labor day, Monday, Sept. 5th. The Citizens’ band, of Lonaconing, will be here. There will be a grand parade at 10 o’clock A. M. There will be danc- ing and other amusements, also all kinds of refreshments. This picnic will be held in the K. of L. grove, in Salisbury borough. It promises to bea big affair—the best picnic held here for venrs. By all. means attend it, if you want to have a good time. See bills. " An Error and Two Omissions. Last week, by oversight, an error and two omissions were made in the business directory published in connection with our article on the early history of Salis: bury. We should have had 8. A. Lich liter, dealer in flour, feed and sugar, in- stendof 8. A. Lichliter Justice of ‘the Pence. Levi Lichliter is the Justice of the Peace and Conveyancer, instead of 8. A. Lichliter. Dr. Speicher, Physician and Surgeon, was omitted. This was purely accidental, however. Mr. Speich- er is the oldest doctor in the town, and a very good one, too. He deservedly en- joys a large practice, as does also our other doctor. Stabbing Affray. Last Saturday evening a fight occurred between F. 8. Enos and Chas. R. Snyder. which resulted in two badly spoiled eyes for Snyder and a stab in the left side for Enos. The melee grew out of a few trivial remarks made by the two young men, and Snyder finding that Enos was too much for him with his fists, drew a knife and made a vicious thrust at him, striking Enos in the region of the heart. Luckily, however, for both, the knife struck a rib and inflicted nothing but a painful flesh wound. Snyder then took to his heels and Enos was brought to Dr. Speicher, who dressed the wound. Just what the outcome of this affair will be, we do not know; but Enos says he does not want Snyder arrested. In the mean- time let us wait and see what we shall see. Couldn't Prove ie Was Living. Bt. Peter (on a summer vacation, but looking after business on the side)—See here! why haven’t you been up my way? Surprised Denizen of Earth—Why, I'm not dead yet! Bt. Peter—You deceive yourself; you've been dead some time, and you are very much in the way here. Surprised Denizen—I'll call in the neighbors to prove I'm alive and in busi- ness. St. Peter—That’s too much trouble. Here's your local paper, show me your advertisement.—Ex. Salisbury, too. Somerset, if she desires to get manu- facturers to come here, must reach out; and the only way in which she can do this is through organization.

QUESTIONS KOR FREE-TRADERS. Ir Protection does not maintain Amer- ican wages, why are they about twice as high as in any other country under the sun? If Free-Trade would benefit American agriculture, why has it impoverished the farmers of England, Ireland, India, and wherever it has been tried? If Free-Trade would help this country generally, why did it plunge us into bank- ruptcy and misery every single time it has been tried here? 1f Free-Trade elevates labor, why were the slave holders Free-Traders? If the adoption of Cleveland’s Tariff policy in this country would not benefit Eagland, why are the English press and public so earnest in their advocacy of his election? If the McKinley act raises prices of manufactures, why are they lower now than before it became a law? If Protection oppresses farmers, why were they the ones to vote its inaugura- tion, and why have they more steadfast- ly than any other class of citizens voted to maintain it? If a nation must buy in order to sell, why was the balance of trade in our fa- vor more than- $202,000,000 in the past year? If strikes are due to the Tariff, why land to every one in the United States? If Protection is. unconstitutional, why were tne framers of the Constitution Protectionists? If Free-Traders are really the friends of the farmers, why did they abolish the duty on the farmers’ wool? hal If free raw materials would give us the ‘markets of the world.” why are our im- ports of cotton goods far in excess of the exports? ; 1f the protected United States is not prosperous, why are we the only nation in the wide world to which people Rock from all other nations? ; If the Tariff is a “tax,” why can: you buy numberless articles for less than the very duty which is itnposed on them? a If Protectection is opposed on the ground that our industries are no lohger “infants.” ‘why don't the Cobdenite sup- port the tin-plate duty? ; If our higher wages are due to (he great er efficiency of American workingmen, why do foreigners who come here recef¢e two and three times as much as is paid for the same work in their own country? If the House of Representutives was: not laboring in the interests of the Brit- ish Cordage Trusts, why did it pass the Free Binding Twine bill? : If Free-Trade is patriotic, why do Free- Traders always sneer at everything Amer- can? . ; are there two strikes in Free: Trade Eng- dis
