pleasure that we make this correction.

The bunco people have put in an ap-

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.

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! -

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

onstration of this Presidential campaign,
that has yet assembled.
The Annual State meeting of Demo-
cratic societies of Pennsylvania meets in

a good many members in this part of the
county, we have no doubt that this item
will interest them.
