We think, however, it is for the ‘‘Demmies.” The election register shows that Salis- bury has a population of about 1,000, an increase of 311 since the census of 1890. This shows that the town is prospering. Meyersdale had two fires last week. The first destroyed a large tenement house occupied by six families. The sec- ond did slight damage to the electric light plant. It is reported that would-be Detective Fisher last week captured Bill Pritts. but that the Pritts family attacked the would- be detective and Wm. escaped. The re- port is likely a fake. Why do we receive fewer immigrants from France than from any other coun- try? Because France has a protective tariff, which gives Frenchmen prosperous times in their own country. Forest fires have recently been getting in their destructive work in this vicinity. It is said that Tom Broadstock’s place was in great danger of being licked up by the flames during the past week. Republicans, every mother’sson of you, he sure to come to the polls next Tuesday and vote. Don’t stay at home on account of the new hallot law. Voting the new way is just as easy as rolling off of a log.

The Republican club meeting, Tuesday evening, was very enthusiastic. It was decided, however, to have no demon- _ stration of any kind before the election, “as the time is too short to do the thing : justice. HA The Democrats will be at the. polls ‘in full force. They always are. Meet them there. Republicans, and knock them high- er than Gilderoy’s kite. We've got the votes to-do it, but we must see to getting them out. A full-blooded Apache Indian is work- ing for Wm. Burnett, at Lambertsville, this county, doing farm labor. He is in- telligent and attends Sunday school and praver meeting. He was educated at the Carlisle Indian school. Meyersdale is in holy dread of winter setting in. They do not have water enough to get up steam for their houses. Only one way out the dilemma, friends. Tap the “Commercial” and use natural gas.—Hyndman Bulletin. James Matheny came home from Fay- ette county last week and brought with him a wife, whose former name was Miss Yoder. We are informed that Mr. and Mrs. Matheny will make this town their home. Tae STAR extends its con- gratulations. leninh Wechtenheiser and Abraham Musser, who were sentenced to the peni- tentiary from this county ip 1888, fora term of eleven and a half years, have re- gained their liberty. Good behavior re- duced the legth of their term of imprison- ment.—Herald. An exchane advises farmers who use steam engines for threshing to examine their insurance policies and see if the nec- essary permit, or license, is attached to or written thereon. Nearly all the in- surance companies grant a threshing priv- ilege under certrin conditions, R. B. Sheppard dined on ’possum, one day this week, and he reports it a dish good enough for President Harrison. Our Democratic friends think a dish of crow would be good enough for Harrison, but the mischief of it isthat they are rove afraid that the crow will be eaten by Cleveland. : The New York Central railway ha just put on its lines the largest and Tast- est locomotive in the world. Tits drive wheels are 7 feet high, and the entire lo- comotive is 60 feet long, 15 feet high and weighs 230.000 pounds. It recently made a continnous run of 76 miles an hour with a heavy train. Rev. Baumgardner has decided to take a rest and remain at home 2 few days with his family. . Mr. Baumgardner has been kept very busy preaching for various congregations of the Evangelical Associ: ation. in Bedford. Somerset, Westmore- land and Cambria counties, Pa., and Pres- ton county. W. Va.. The Meyersdale Commercial and Hynd- man Bulletin are having a fight to a fin ish over the question as to which of those two towns has the better water works. So far, the Commercial hasn't been half a matéh for the Bulletin, but neither of them will be apt to find a watery grave, unless they move to other towns. John Reese and Wesley Miller, the two citizens of Jefferson township, this coun- ty, who were convicted in the United States District Court of Pittsburg last week of making moonshine whisky, were sentenced on Wednesday to pay a fine of $500 each and undergo an imprisonment in the Allegheny county jail for a period of six months. The comet now approaching the earth, it is said, will almost equal in brilliancy the celestial wonder. that illuminated the heavens in the winter 1858. It ean now be seen in the eastern sky early in the morning, and is growing in brilliancy un- til it will soon be a magnificent sight. Old-timers say they conld read by the light of the one of '58.—Ex. It has been claimed here that the elec- tion officers will not be allowed to eat from 7 o’clock in the morning until after the votes are counted at night. Section 29 of the law forbids any member of the election Board communicating with out- siders until the counting shall have heen completed. This means they will either have to carry a luncheon with them or fast.—Herald. . A STAR reporter recently heard a verv earnest conversation betwéen a young couple in this town who supposed no one wag in hearing distance. The young man talked matrimony, but the blushing maiden talked only of the weather. She said she didn’t know whether she would have him or not. The young man said that if in his case she would only (K)not, he would be satisfied and look around for some one to lie it. A humble boy with a shining pail went gaily singing dawn the dale, to where the cow with the brindle tail on the clover pasture did regale. A bumble bee did gaily sail over the soft and shady vale. to where the boy with the shining pail was milking the cow with the brindle tail. The bee lit down on the cow's left ear, her heels flew through the atmosphere, and through the leaves of the chestnut tree the boy soared to eternity.—Ex. Every time a cvigar-dealer takes a hand- ful of cigars from a box and spreads them out on the top of the showcase for a pur- chaser to select from, he violates one of tke most stringent laws of the United States. The internal revenue law has a rigid provision to the effect that a retail er must not také cigars from the box af- ter it has been packed and stamped. He should always’ hand out the box to his | customers and let them select from it.— Onkland Repnblican. On Monday night some person or per- sons broke open the school building, car- ried nearly all the coal out of the coal house, scattered it over one of the school room floors, lifted off some of the win- dow Shutters, etc. Beveral small lads | were arrested on Tuesday, charged with doing the before Squire Lowry. The boys stoutly denied that they were guilty and claim to be able to prove their innocence. will have a hearing on Saturduy at one o'clock. George F. Fisher, a self-styled. one- armed detective, who took an active part in the search after ‘‘moonshiners” last winter, during the Miller-Hochstetter troubles, was, on Monday last, arrested at Rockwood, by Constable Fleck. of this place, at the instance of Chief of Po- lice Gilbert, from whom he had borrowed money; and Charles F. ‘Rhoads, with whom he contracted alivery bill. The cases were settled for the time by taking Fisher's o wn recognizance.—Somerset Vedette. ] The following bit of news is taken from the Baltimore Sun, of Monday: Efforts are being made to extend the Oak- | land electric light system to Mounfain Lake Park. Deer Park Hotel grounds] and cottages are lighted with electricity, and the Park will endeavor to secure electric-light service from one of these places, as it lies between them. There is talk also of building an electric ear road from Oakland to Mountain Lake Park, a distance of two miles. Such a road would be a great convenience and would pay handsomely. Charles Ringler. of Addison township, an inmate of the Poor House. became violently insane one day early last week and on Thursday was removed to the Dixmont Insane Assylum. at Pittsburg. It required three men to put Ringler on board the train, even after his hands and legs had been pinioned. At Rockwood he became so violent that it was necessa- ry to have a physician administer a hy- podermic injection of morphine hefore the journey could be continued. Ringler had attempted self-destruction before he was removed to Dixmont.—Herald. There is a good joke out on several Grassy Run men. who recently supposed that they had discovered an Indian grave. We have forgotten who all the fellows are, but Captain Paul Hoffman is one of them. They were greatly excited over some bones which they dug out of the earth, and they expected to find all the bones of a full grown “big Injun.” These they were going to put on’ exhibi- tion and all make a fortune. But imag- ine their chagrin, when after digging sev- eral hours for the skull and finding it, they found that it was that of a cow. Joseph Wright. who was one of the mail carriers from Ebensburg to Camber: land over the route passing through this county in 1814. when he was a hoy of 12 years, is still living in Summer hill township, Cambria county. at “the ‘ad- vanced age of 90 years. When mail- -car- rier, Mr. Wright resided with his parents, who were residents of this county. His term of mail-boy extended over a ‘peribd of two years and three montlis, his route extending north from Stoystown to Eb ensburg and south through Somerset to Cumberland. The round trip occupied a full week, and the mail went on Sundays as well as on week days. 1t was chrried in the regulation government saddle bags strapped on a horse and was never very heavy.—Somerset Standard. Hiawatha” Lodge. No. 441, 1. 0. O. F., dedicated their new hall at Andison last Friday. and they are now housed in one of the finest secret society buildings in western Pennsylvania. Every lodge in the county was represented at the ded- ication and a number of visiting Odd Fel- lows were present from other counties. Dr. Hikok. of Bedford, Past Grand Mas- ter of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, delivered the dedicatory address at an open meeting held in the afternoon, to an audience that crowded the hall to its full capacity. In the evening the Dr. exemplified the unwritten work of the order, after which a grand banquet was served in the Jodge room. The new building is 40x80 feet, two stories high. The first floor will be nsed as a town hall. —Herald. The Somerset papers have it that the Republican meeting held here last: week was attended by a large and enthusiastic audience. Nothing could be farther from the truth, for the meeting came nearer being a total failure than any held here for years. This, however, was not be- cause the Republicans have lost intesest in politics, but because our people wanted the meeting held in. the evening instead of the afternoon. The County Chairman did not seem to care to respect the wishes of the community, and the Republicans just came to the conclusion that they wonldn’t attend, if their wishes were not to be taken into consideration. However, when it comes to voting, this locality will roll up the biggest Republican vote ever polled here. When it comes to vot- ing, Salisbury Republicans always do their duty; but in the matter of attending meetings, they will not turn out at a time when it suits no one but Fred Biesecker. During the past year the following buildings have been erected in Salisbury: The M. E. church, the elegant new Val- ley house, Peter Vogel's wagon and black- ischief. and were arraigned smith shop, H. H. Reitz's dwelling house, Mrs. Meager's millinery store, John Hut- zel’s dwelling house, Charles “Lung’s dwelling house, Fd Engle's dwelling house, Wm. Powell's dwelling house, Frank Petry’s dwelling honse, John Fresh’s dwelling house, John Tedrow’s dwelling house, Lou Brown’s dwelling house, Ellis Wagner's dwelling ‘house, Beachy Bros’. mammoth hardware store and a fine new dwelling house erected by E. Statler. Besides these buildings, there are others to go up yet this fall, as fol- lows: Dr. Speicher, drug store; Wm. Petry, building for general store; Mrs. They | {whole thing in a nutshell is just this: hor as we have alwavs done, Josephns Broadwater, dwelling house: Robt. Cochirane, dwelling house; Thomas Davis, dwelling house. With these there will be 21 new buildings for the year, and in West Salisbury, which really ought to be a part of this borough, a foundry and about a half-dozen new dwellings have gone up during. the same period. This is a pretty good record, but next year promises to be much better. Salisbury; is getting there in good shape. To the Local Assembly, K. of L. : We understand that some of the Knights of Labor took offense hecause can club of this place was not made up of deadbeas. Some of them took this to mean that they (the Knights) were made. up of deadbeats. How any intelligent man eould extract such a meaning from what we said is’ past finding out. The the matter of renting -their hall, Knights treated the Republican clob as people would treat deadbeats, and THE STAR in speaking of the matter tried to ‘make the Knights understand that the club was not made up of that kind of people. The Knights were in no way ‘accused of being deadheats themselves, nor wag anything of the kind insinuated. They were merely accused of treating the club as only deadbeats should be treated. and that ie exactly what they did do. and they can not deny it. If they have anv good reason to offer for the unkind treat- ment they showed us, we have not yet heard it. If the Knights wil! be as fair with THe STAR, and the Republican club as THE STAR has always been with them, upholding and advoeating organized la- make a public apology for their disre- spectful treatment shown the ciuh. To Philip H. Walker. I notice in the Somerset Demoerat of recent date that vou did some wholesale whining becanse Tue STAR gave n cer- tain grand jury. of which yon happened to be a member. a deserved ‘raking.’ Most of yon ridiotic gush was hogwash of the vilest kind, amply-illustrating that the hog will occasionally return to its wallow. Your whole grist of grimy rot would made it appear that veu had your mind make up to defeat that bridge project, regardless of what evidence there would be in favor of it. It is strange indeed that you know so much more about that. bridge site than the intelligent gentlemen who viewed it, and where you show your ears most and give the public an oppor- tunity to see what a narrow-minded ig-- noramus of an ass you are, is when yon speak of a bridge that was erected near ‘Meversdale, over which you say not one team a day crosses, on an average. +: Now, what we want to know is this: What has that bridge down there got: to do with our case? If a bridge was erected |, where it-is nat needed, that i is no reason why the coanty shoutd® not erect one where it'is needed. The bridge which one team a day, is a bridge that was erected mainly for the benefit of a few wealthy farmers; but when it comes to erecting a bridge principally for the ben- efit of two flourishing towns. then such farmers as yon are, objeet. That is just what we accused you of, for such fellows gs you are all imagine that the farmers pay all the taxes. If the farmers were all of your kind, other people could scarely exist. But you say that vou-have letters in your possession from some of the heav- fest tax payers in this neighborhood, suring you that ‘‘the grand jurv did right in denying the bridge.” 1f you have such letters, which is very doubtful, why did not the writers of those letters fight the bridge project openly, by getting out a comyger petition? That is, where we have you, for when men are afraid to fight a thing, openly and manly, it shows that they aren the wrong and are afraid of public sentiment. The people here would like to know who wrote you those letters. ‘The substance of your language is about the same as calling some of our most respected citizens purjurers, fora nmmber of them went before the grand jury and made oath to the great necessi- ty of the bridge petioned for. Then, to top off your vile slanders, you advise us to go to a place near Pitts- burg, called Dixmont. Well, we went there: but found that there was but one vacant cell, andi that was reserved for Philip H. Walker. There may also be a cell reserved for you in Allegheny, for some people inform me that they are not yet satisfied in regard to a certain homi- cide that vet looks dark to them. : But lét the county give us the county taxes that Salisbury and Elk Lick paid in the past few years, and we will build the finest bridge in this part of the state and not ask the county a cent. It is not right to make us ford the river and use our money to build bridges in the north of the county, where there are fewer people to use them. - a8s- The mammoth steer of William M. 8in- gerly of Philadelphia has found a rival in this state.
