If this town had a live board of trade, one that wounld have the advantage of our town as a manufacturing place put in print and circulated, a vast deal of good would result therefrom. Why not try it? Harry Wagner, while fooling with a 22-calibre pistol, today, accidentally dis- charged the weapon and shot himself. The hall entered his left side snd came out a few inches from where it entered. The wound is not dangerous, It is said upon gond authority that Dr. Speicher has leased part of the Oliver Boyer lot, fronting on Grant street. and that he will erect a drug store thereon, this fall. We hope the report is true, for ‘a drug store is very badly needed here. The present has been a very peculiar season in many respects. On Friday last, September 28, Thomas Nethkin. picked and brought to town seven bushels of blackberries. Suchea thing was never heard of before at this time in the “year. J. L. Barchus and his sister, Mrs. H_| Oakland Republican. Loechel, went to Pittsburg, Wednesday night. Miss Lydia Glotfelty has returned from Connellsville and thinks she will remain ‘here a while. On Monday last, Postmaster Welfley canceled 285 two-cend stamps. 59 ones, 2 fives and 2 tens. : Most of those who went to Cumberland to attend the Forepaugh show, pronounce the said show a snide. Rev. Wm. Rupp, of Meversdale, has heen elected Professor of Theology’ of the seminary at Lancaster. Jonas J. Beachy, one of Garrett coun- ty’s most respected citizens, was transact- ing business in our town today. Geo. Glotfelty was over from Witten- berg, the other day, shaking hands with his numerons Salisbury friends. Rev. 8. H. Bashor, of Illinois, the noted Brethren evangelist, is a candidate for Congressman, on the People’s ticket. Mrs. E. Droege and son, of Deer Park, Md., and Miss M. Dorsey, of near Grants- ville. were guests at the Hey house, this week. W. H. Fogle, of Berlin, Bis again come to Salisbury to work. Will knows where to find work in abundance, and don't you forget it. The new Valley house is nearing com- pletion. When finished it will be a cred- _itto its enterprising proprietor, also to the town. : Miss Pittman, of McConnellsburg, who for some time had been the guest of her friend Mrs. Ricuard Beachy, returned home this week. Casper Wall has fenced up the lot on the Northeast corner of Grant and Me- chanic streets, which makes quite an im- proved appearance. Five Commercial men helped to devour a large wild turkey, thise week, at the Valley house. They all pronounced it the best dinner of the season. Happy and content is a home with "he Rochester;” a lamp with the light of the morning. For catalogue. write Rochester Lamp Co., New York. 1-22 The Meversdale Commercial pronoun- ces A. P. Beachy the handsomest man in Salisbury. Bro. Smith is so near right that there isn’t much room for dispute. Bruce Snyder and wife have moved in- to the L. C. Boyer house, on the corner of Grant and Ord streets. That seems to be a favorite place for new house-keepers. Farmers had better look well to their turkeys, for at least three-fourths of the so-called wild turkeys brought in by the sporting fraternity are of the barnyard species. There is nothing the matter with that street railway train of John Folk’s that was seen going through town this week. It lookss like “biz” wien John holds the throttle. My. J. T. Shipley. the popular and well-known Meyersdale hardware man, makes frequent business trips up this way. He is always jovial and chuck full of business. The Somerset. County Medical Asso- ciation meets in Odd Fellows Hall, Confluence, Tnesday next. Annual elec- tion and other important business will be transacted. H. F. Schell, an old resident of Som- erget, has gone to Irvington, Ind., where he will reside with his son, H. 8., who is Professor of Language at Butler Univer- sity, at that place. You can see one of the new ballots at Toe STAR office and see how to mark it. The new system is very simple. Some people have an idea it is very complicated, but they are mistaken. Dr. Engle, the Piedmont dentist, was spinning around here: this week on his hieycle. He had been at Berlin and made the run from’ that place to this in'one hour and fifteen minutes. The State Sunday school convention “of the Brethren church, held in Meyers- dale, last week, is reported to have ‘been : a great success. The next Biate conven The Somerset Vedette. the new Demo- .cratic paper, made its appearance last week. Tt is bright and full.of news, and aside from ‘its horrible politics, is a real good paper. Tae STAR welcomes it to the journalistic field of Somerset county and wishes it a prosperous career. w=wThe old Bogz Pugh farm in Stonvereek township has been sold to parties whose purpose is, it is said, to develop the min- erals underlying it. J. O. Miller, of York, Pa., and Rev. C. U. Hileman, of Huntingdon, Pa., were the purchasers. paying for it $3,200 cash.—Berlin Record. "There will be a Republican meeting in Salisbury, Oect. 27th, at 1 o'clock P. M.

Election officers, post yourselves on the new ballot law. All persons living in this vicinity, who have estates ‘to settle up, should have their notices published in ‘THE STAR. which reaches ten people in this vicinity to every one reached here by any other paper. Never spend money away from home that should be kept here. It does not lovk right and it isn’t right. D. D. Hershberger this vear harvested 1,805 bushels of wheat on his Elk Lick farm. from 50 acres of ground. He sold the entire crop to Christian Yoder, Jr.. for 76 cents a bushel. Mr. Hershberger has always heen one of our best. farmers, and Mr. Yoder is one of the most enter- prising young speculators in this locality. When a man playfally points a pistol or a gun at you, knock him down; don’t stop to inquire whether it is loaded: or not; knock him down with an ax or any- thing you can get hold of, only see that he is thoroughly knocked down. Ifa coroner’s inquest must be held let it be on the other fellow, He won’t be missed. —Ex. The crop of fools is evidently smaller during this campaignthan in former years. All the political discussions seem to be carried on in good humor, which is right. Any man who will lose his temper be- canse some one else assails the doctrine of his party, makes a’ fool of himself and shows that his brain is of very shallow calibre. Prof. A. L. Smith, of the Washington observatory. and W. C. Powell, recently visited Pine Hill, this county, to ascer- tain’ whether it would be suitable for the erection of a National observatory. The Government is. seeking a location for such an observatory, says the Somerset Democrat. THE STAR would suggest Sal- isbury for a location. Thus far John J. Livengood, the great ‘coon hunter has brought in four ’coons and two ‘possums. « That will do first-rate to begin the season with, but old Johnny looks rather crestfallen, owing to the fact that his faithful old dog, ‘Piper’, was crushed to death the other night under a tree that was felled for a ‘coon. Old ‘“Iige,” however, *‘is still in the ring.” An apple more than a foot in circum- ference and more than a pound in weight is somewhat of a rarity, but.we saw such a one last Tuesday. It belonged to Mr. Jacob Heffley and grew upon an apple tree in his lot in Berlin. It was of the King of Thompkins county variety and measured 12} inches in circumference and weighed 16} ounces. The tree hore a great many more nearly as large, —Ber- lin Record. John Wanamaker whose name stands foremost in the commercial world, says: “I would as soon think of doing business without clerks as without advertising,” and A. T. Stewart, who from a small be- ginning built up the greatest dry goods house in his time, said. ‘Frequent and constant advertising brought me all I own. He who invests one dollar in busi- ness should invest one dollar in advertis- ing that business.” Geo. Coleman, youngest son of jack- son Coleman, a former resident of this town, is gettity great reputation as runner. . A few weeks ago he defeated Michael Creegan, of Midland, Md., ina youd race for a purse of $300 and gate receipts... The race came off at Frost- burg, Coleman winning tiie race by ! 8 feet. able betting was done and’ that about $1000 changed hands, © For some time there has been bad, feel- ing between two West Salisbury young men, and it is reported that they settled thie thing, the other night, according to prize ring rules. It is said tbat both stripped to the waist and fought like de mons. One of them was knocked out in the 5th round, which ended the fight. Bad business, boys, and very hdrd on eyes. Peter Pritts, the well-known farmer of Somerset township, brought to the Stan- dard office this week an egg of unusual size and shape. It is the product of a common, barn-yard hen and is pot a se lected one, but is a fair sample of all the eggs laid by this particular fowl The egg does not taper at one end, as .does the ordinary egg. it measures 9 inches around the long way and 7 inches around the short way. Who can beat that?— Somerset Standard. Sheriff Good killed two birds with one stone last Friday. He took “Bobbie” Harding and Ed. Penrod to the Reforma- tory at Huntingdon, and after handing them over to the authorities of that insti- tution he visited Alexandrian, Huntingdon county, and arrested Charles Rosebor- ough, who is wanted by the aathorities of this county to answer a charge pre- ferred against him by Miss Emma Spang- ler, of Stovestown. Roseborough was brought to Somerset and is now in jail.— Herald. * A gay party of Meyersdale young folks took supper last Saturday evening at the Hay house and remained there until a late hour, returning home by moonlight. The party consisted of the following named persons: Misses Mary Olinger, Emma Rupr. Emma Olinger, Mintie Farner.

While girls reach full height in their 15th vear they acquire full weight at the age of 20. Boys are stronger than girls from birth to the 11th vear; then girls become su- perior physically to the 17th year. the tables are again turned and remain so. From November to April children grow very little and gain no weight; from April, to July they gain in height. hut lose in weight, and from July to Novem- ber they increase greatly in weight, but not in height. —Bzitish Medical Monthly. when Cumberland has its quack doctors well as other places. ‘One, “Dr.” Hoovér, of that city, is under arrest charged wi th causing a little girl’s death by burning its mouth and throat with caustic. The child had been suffering from diphtheria, and its death was hastened by Hoover's mal-treatment. This Hoover is the man who stated before a court and jurvin Bedford, Pa., some vears since. when asked by an attorney whether he had ev- er treated a case of aurora borealis. replied he had seven cases on his hands at one time. six of whom lived and one died.— Ex. Tae WorrLD Grows.—Noah Webster would not kpow his old dictionary in the perfection it has attained in the hands of modern scholars. The world grows, however, and dictionaries with it, soth at a cheap reprint of the 44 years old *‘orig- inal” Webster is worth about as much as an old almanac. WEBSTER'S INTERN\- TIONAL DICTIONARY, the recent successor of the latest and still’ copyrighted *‘Una- bridged.” is the Best work of its kind ever published, and, well used in a family, will be of more valne to the members thereof than many times its cost laid up in money. A representative of R. G. Dunn’s Mer- cantile Agency was in Somerset some time ago, and, talking about the business of the country generally, said that Som- erset was one of the safest and most con- servative counties in the State in a busi- ness point of view; and that city mer- chants had less hesitation in giving credit to Somerset county merchants than those of almost any other county in the Com- monwealth, Itis to be hoped the mer- chants of Somerset county will keep up their reputation for honesty and integrity, and proudly hold the head of the column. —Somerset Vedette. Mr. W. P. Humes. of Bellefonte, Pa., was in this vicinity this week looking af- ter his mineral interests. Mr. Humes owns abont 6000 acres of mountain land, a few miles west ot town, which J. N. Davis. his right bauer, says is underlaid with valuable deposits of coal and fire several large veins of coal on this tract, which he says will be shafted in the near future, in the vicinity of the Jacob Mc- Closkey homestead, which place we un- derstood him to say was recently pur- chased. We hope this tract of land will prove as valuable as it is believed to be, and the chances are that it will, for Mr. Davis usually knows what he is talking about. The Johnstown Tribune says. ‘Mr. T. Z. Ringler, of near Stoystown, has picked up, coins om several occasions while plowing in a meadow near his home. One coin is of the reign of Charles the 111, (1792) of Spain. Itis of silver and The Lonaooning Review says consider- | clay. Mr. Davis reports the finding of | probably equivalent to ey. ‘The other coins are copper pennies. one of date 1772, during the reign of George III. The dates and names on the remaining pieces could not be distin- guished. Mr. Ringler states that pieces of nld gan barrels, bavouets and other implements of warfare have been found on his farm, indicating that soldiers once encamped here, probably during the struggle for independence or during con- | flicts with Indians.” Edward Hoye, of Oakland, executor of the will of John Hoye. has instituted an action of trespass in the Cireait court for Alleghany county, against the George's Creek Coal and Iron Company, claiming $450,000 damages for coal mined and shipped by the defendant from the plain- tiff's land. near Lonaconing, called “Friendship,” containing 1,600F acres of big vein (14 feet) coal, "This tract of coal adjoins the coal of the defendant, and it is claimed by the plaintiffs that a large proportion of it has been mined and sold. The heirs of Dr. S8aiith join with Mr. Hoye in the suit. , The suit is attracting a great deal of attention’ amongst the coal operators on the cresk.—Oakland Republican. This is an age of stir. Men must move, and they must make their business move. The man: who doesn’t advertise in the newspapers is a back number. Men re- gard him as a curiosity—a relic, and the boys ask him where he got his hat, He is behind the times. The race to which he belongs is nearly extinct, The adver- tiser has most of the business the relic nsed to have, and will soon have the rest. And where will the relic be then? What can he do but to retire from the unequal | struggle. and join his ancesters in that silent city where nobody advertises—that place whose inhabitants are noted for be- ing ““unanimons” and for letting well enough alone?” Na tiade revolution is more complete—none better established —than the change which has heen worked in the matter of newspaper advertising. The merchant who doesn’t nse the news: paper advertising columns freely is doomed. The merchant who nses them freely and judiciously must reap erent re- wards —Ex. Joseph Hofecker and Josiah Allwine, two farmers living near the line between Somerset and. Cambria counties, were taken in this.summear by a new lightning- rod swindle and did net discover the fact until a short time ago. when suits. were entered at Johnstown for the collection of notes given hy the gnileless farmers. One day during the summer two stran- gers drove up to. Hofecker's place, and just as they came to the barn thevalighted and looked at an instrument they had in the wagon. They then said to Mr. Ho- fecker, “You're in luck,” and then ex- nlained that they were putting up light- ning rods free at all residences five miles anart, and that Mr. Hofecker’s place was exactly that far from the last one of the kind. After making various inquiries abont his neighbors, the two men placed the rods on Mr. Hofecker’s residence, saying they did so as an advertisement, as it gave them possession of all the inter- vening territory. Before leaving they asked Mr. Hofecker, asa mere matter of form. to sign a paper showing the rods had been put up. This paper now turns ont to he a judgment note for five times the value of the rods. The same game was played on Mr. Allwine.—Somerset Standard. : Salisbury Will Celebrate Columbian Day. _ Columbian day will be appropriately observed in Salisbury and the following program will be carried out: MORNING, Grand March.
