Gray squirrels are said to be very nu- merous this fall. ~ It is said that the new 1892 quarter is being counterfeited. Charley Walker is suffering with a fel- on on one of his fingers. Why is it that we have no Grand Army post here? We ought to have one. The Corning Journal advertises for “an honest boy to make a devil of.” Rev. Kribbs and H. A. Reitz attended the Lutheran synod at Holidaysburg. Geo. W. Miller. of New Germany, Md., was a caller at THE STAR office on Wed- nesday. Mrs. President Harrison is very ill and her physicians have about despaired of her recovery. The new Democratic newspaper, the Somerset Vidette, will make its appear- ance Oct. 1st. Some one out West advertises for ‘a house girl to assist in the washing of a small family.” Read Wm. Petry’s new ‘“ad” in this is- sue. He has another lot of great bar- gains to offer you. “Soldier Billy” has already commenced to serve up oysters in that elegant style for which he is noted. The political articles on 5th page of this issue should be read by every think: ing and fair-minded voter. Rev. J. D. Domer, of the Somerset cir- cuit, will preach in the Evangelical church on Sunday, at 10:30 A. M. : H. H. Smith, the well-known wool man, was in town this week. He does a big business in this neck of the woods. Dennis DeHaven has the boss rifle of the town. It beheads, skins and takes the entrails out of squirrels all in one shot. Read C. R. Haselbarth & Son’s new ‘‘ad” in this issue. This firm is still in the ring and offering some rare bargains. Rev. M. L. Young, President of the Allegheny synod, will preach in the Luth- eran church, Sunday evening, Sept. 18th. Read Benjamin Harrison’s letter of ac- ceptance in this issue. It is an able doc- ument and has a true American ring to it. C. C. Welfley has returned home from Connellsville and intends to teach school somewhere in the county this coming winter. A Tennessee merchant, being asked how large his advertisement should be, replied: “Well put in about three pints of type.” Labor day was not celebrated with a picnic at West Salisbury, as the Commer- cial has it. The picnic was in Salisbury borough. The Register says efforts are being made to organize a new band in Meyers- dale. That's business; the town needs a new band. Tariff Bill McKinley is expected in Somerset this week. His wife is there now and is the guest of Dr. A. J. Endsley and family. For ‘two thousand carloads of cats gone East,” as stated in our last week’s issue, please read oats instead of cats.— Illinois Paper. F. O. Livehgood and wife are again rusticating in this vicinity.

Quite a number of our people atténded the big “hop” in Meyersdale, Saturday evening, at the opening of the Mountain Electrical Co.’s works. A good time is reported. : Dick Beachy, of Carleton, Neb., ar- rived in town yesterday. He is looking as fat and full of life as ever, and his nu- merous friends here welcome him to this his native town. G. J. and C. Gnagey, of Garrett coun- ty, Md., were in town on Monday. The latter is a Pittsburg street car conductor, and was on his way to the city, after a visit at the old home. oR Western editor met a well-educated farmer recently and said to him that he would like to have something from his pen. The farmer sent him a pig and charged him $9.75 for it. : Harry Sanner and John Clouse, two Confluence young men, have been ar- rested and bound over for trial at court, on the charge of robbing the Confluence depot, last Thursday night. ~~ The dreaded cholera has at last ap- peared in New York City.

Harry Sheets, the Berlin boy who stole Dr. Brallier’s horse, has been acquitted, as no one appeared against him at the time of his hearing. | It is said it was out of respect for the lad’s parents that no one appeared against him. Edward Penrod and Robt. Harding. two Somerset young men, were caught in the act of robbing the store of Cook & Beerits. early last Sunday morning. They were captured and at once jailed, where they will await their trial at court. Sam Kimmel came home from Pitts- burg, Monday evening, looking some- what thin and pale.

Truman Maust raised 264 bushels of wheat on eight acres of ground, an-aver- age of 83 bushels to the acre. Truman is one of our best farmers, and if there ida farmer in this locality that can this year beat this yield of wheat, let him be heard from. Bro. Smith’s “*old gal” hasn’t material- ized to any alarming extent. Water is still scarce and will no doubt remain so for some time to come. Talk is cheap, Mr. Commercial, but it don’t supply the Metropolis with the desired amount of Sand Spring.—Register. “Columbus discovered America on the 12th of October, 1492. The 400th anni- versary of that event is to be celebrated on the 21st of October, 1892. The change of dav in the month is owing to the change from the old style to new style time, which took place in 1582. The law requires that Canada thistles be cut in time to prevent them from go- ing to seed, and thereby spreading toa greater extent. The constables of the townships are ‘requiréd to see that the thistles are cut and must give notice by printed circulars posted prominently.— Somerset Herald. From 40 acres J. R. Lichty threshed over 38 bushels of wheat per acre. He says had it all been sowed at the same time and all put in with press drill the average would have been at least 5 bushels more per acre. He sold the same to the Carle- ton Grain Co. for 55 cents per bushel. — Carleton (Neb.) Reporter. Messrs. D. H., Vought and D. R. Cra- mer cut a bee tree on the farm of Free- man Broucher, in Upper Turkeyfoot township, recently, from which they took 180 pounds of honey. They found in the tree three combs 6 feet long, two combs 4 feet long, and several shorter combs. How's that for honey *—Standard. According to our exchanges several farmers have been swindled by sbarpers who propose to leave a piano every six miles. which the farmer is to exhibit and have $100 on each thus sold. The paper he signs turns out to be an agreement to pay $450 for the instrument. Don’t sign any agreement with a stranger.—Qak- land Republican. Mrs. W. H. Sarver’s little four-months- old child was sitting on its mother’s lap, last Monday, when the latter was cutting some dress material with 4 pair of scis- sors, and getting its hands in the way, had the little finger of one of them clipped off at the first joint. The mother did not discover what she had done until the child began to scream.—Berlin Record. We were in error last week in stating that R. C. Fuller was fined on account of his fight with Geo. Walker. We have learned since that no basis for a fine could be found in Fuller's case, he having been in the act of making peace between other persons when Walker assaulted him. He was therefore not fined, and it is with pleasure that we make this correction. of this place, shot and &illed fifty gray squirrels, Friday and Saturday. A num- ber of other parties from town have killed large numbers of squirrels sinee the sea- son opened last Wednesday. Squirrels, pheasants, partridges, wild turkeys and ‘other game are reportéd to be unusually abundant this season.—Somerset Herald. THE STAR is the best advertising medi- um in this part of the county, as it reach- es a great many people that are not reached by any other Somerset county paper. From Meyersdale southward it has at least ten times the circulation of any other Somerset county paper. Is list is composed, too, of actual subscrib- ers, persons who have ordered the paper sent to them; not ‘‘deadheads.” “Young man,” said a stern parent, with the accent on the young, “‘do you intend to stay here all night holding my daugh- ter’s hand and looking her in the eyes like a sick calf?” ‘No, sir.” “What do you intend to do, then?” “Well, I had thought that when you did us” the kind- ness to retire I would put my arms around her waist, and if she did not resist too forcibly I might risk a kiss.”—Ex. The bunco people have put in an ap- pearance at or near Hyndman, and tried to fleece Mr. Wm. Colvin, of near Schells- burg. The game was practically the same as that attempted on Mr. Hiram P. Walker, of near Garrett, last week, and the buncouers are undoubtedly the same individuals. Everyone will do well to keep a sharp lookout for the man with three cards and a fake story about being fleeced himself. —Register. A statement made at the Treasury De- partment shows that there have heen filed 6.763 applications for licenses of sugar producers during the fiscal year 1893 under the law paying a bounty for its productions. They were made up as follows: Cane sugar, 649; beet, 8; sor- ghum, 2, and maple, 6,106. Last year the applications ageregated 4.980. The increase in the number of applications is in those for prodacing map'e sugar. A Pittsburg man writes to ThE STAR as follows: *‘I trequently get to see your bright, newsy paper, and jndging from the number of advertisements von carry, I naturally take Salisbury to be a very progressive town, one made up of live and enterprising people. However, I see no baker's advertisement in your pa- per, and the object of this letter is to in- quire what kind of an opening there is in your town for a first-class bakery. Please let me hear from youn.” A few davs ago we formed the ac- guaintance of Rufus Beachy, the veteri- nary surgeon of near Salisbury, and were shown his office and drug supplies, also his library treating on all ailments known to the domestic animals; his surgical in- struments comprise every instrument needed in his wide practice and are worth about five hundred dollars. Mr. Beachy has saved the life of a good many useful horses in his practice.—Berkley Corre- spondent to Commercial. The Meyersdale Commercial calls the Hyndman Bulletin’s attention to the fact that Hyndman was recently referred to in a late Associated Press item as “a small settlement on the B. & O. railroad.” That's pretty tough on Hyndman, but we are just in receipt of a late B. & O. map on which Hyndman, Salisbury, Berlin, Somerset and Confluence are prominent- ly marked, but the little Hamlets of Mey- ersdale, Sand Patch, Williams Station and other obscure villages of that class do not appear thereon. Some one entered our sanctum during our absence and helped himself 10 a large supply of high“priced smoking tobacco, which the editor had bought for the ex- press purpose of loading nis peace pipe. By the Great Horn Spoon! if we find out who did .this knavish act there will be whipping and whaling and snatching-out of teeth. Just a few weeks ago a cow devoured part of our sauerkrout crop, and now to have our Lone Jack smoking tobacco stolen, is more than we ean stand. Verily, afflictions do not come singly. County Superintendent Berkey has en- tered into an arrangement with Superin- tendent Leech, of Cambria county, where- by they will secure the services of John B. DeMott, of DuPaw University, Green- castle, Indiana. His lectures un science and general talks are very instructive, as he carries over $5,000 worth of apparatus with him. DeMott is a high priced man, and for this reason his services have heen engaged jointly by the two Superintend- ents. The institute will be held the week beginning November 28.—Somerset Her- ald. The borough schools open on Monday. next, and as usual, there will be many people who will not send their children to school, on account of part of the school building not being fit to have pupils housed in it. Every child of school age should be in school, but nevertheless a healthy ignoramus is better than an edu. cated invalid, and unless we erect a better school building soon, one with room enough init for the pupils, lots of our brightest boys and girls are going to be- come invalids or else grow up in ignor- ance. We need at least two more schools in this town, and we need them badly. J. J. Miller, Esq., who for several months has been over the briny deep on a tour of Europe. returned to his home in Pittsburg on Monday. He was fortunate in taking passage on the English steamer New York on the return trip, and thus he escaped the long quarantine in the New York bay, which is imposed upon all ves- sels from Hamburg, Germany, During Mr. Frank Cooper and his son Russel, .{and the largest Democratic convocation THE ELDREDS A strictly high-grade family sewing machine. possessing all modern - improvements.

The Elk Lick schools were let on Mon- dav, as follows: West Salisbury, Grammar, Fred Rupp; Primary, Adela McKenzie; Chestnut Springs, D. H. Bender; Sawmill, C. C. Streng; D. Hay, Harvey Boose; Lichty, A. L. Mauet; Lowry, H. G. Lepley; Pleasant Hill, P. J. Blake; Thomas, An- nie O. McKinley; Cross Roads, Ida Beachy; 8t. Paul, W. W. Nicholson; Peck, E. K. Blauch; Haysville, M. H. Fike. Hicks Nominated. At the Republican Congressional con- ference, held at Bedford, J. D. Hicks was nominated, Tuesday afternoon. It is believed by some that the nomination was made too late for tiling the certificate and that a nomination at this stage is not worth munch. However, the Somerset Herald says that eminent lawyers give it as their opinion that the certificate of nomination can be filed at the State de- partment and still come under the re- quirements of the Baker ballot law, pro- viding that the matter is attended to no later than Wednesday evening of this] week. The nomination of Mr. Hicks seems to give general satisfaction to the Republi- cans in this part of the county. It seems but just that Blair county should have the nominee, as it casts a larger Republi- can vote than any: other county in the district. There seems to be a general feeling here that Somerset has had honor enough for a while, and -that Mr. Hicks is an excellent man is generally conceded. Hurrah for the nominee! - The Democratic Central Society. At the last meeting of the above named society, the President of the same, Chas. H. Fisher, and the Treasurer, A. L. G. Hay. were elected delegates to the Annu- al meeting of the National Association of Democratic Clubs, to be held in New York, Oct. 4th and 5th. This gathering of prominent Democrat- ic leaders is expected by** our friends, the enemy.” to be the greatest political dem- onstration of this Presidential campaign, that has yet assembled. The Annual State meeting of Demo- cratic societies of Pennsylvania meets in Scranton. on the 20th. To this meeting the society has elected as delegates the following named well-known and promi- nent Democrats: F. B. Collins, Berlin: Henry Rauch, Jenner; C. W. Walker, Somerset; Norman D, Hay, Summit Mills; L. W. Weakland, Confluence; W. C. Kurtz, Berlin; C. G. McCauliff, Davids- ville. As the Central Democratic Society has a good many members in this part of the county, we have no doubt that this item will interest them. COLUMBUS DAY.
