Fellow Republicans. ‘where are we ary’ Do not be discouraged for Jesus is your friend. Everybody seems to like the new way of voting. Typhoid fever is raging in Somerset and vicinity. THE STAR is very glad that it did not bet on the election. The political fiend who says *‘I told you 80,” is on deck, as usual. Defeated politicians usually die hard, but not as hasd as Lot’s wife. Our little dish of crow is very bitter, but we guess we'll have to eat it. The report that Harrison was running for President is probably untrue. It is said that the long-cat cigarette of this world is a short eut to the next. “Flirting with truth” is a latter day definition of plain, old-fashioned lying. There are some poor men who have no desire to be rich, but they are also liars. My love is founded upon the “rocks,” remarked a man who married for riches. The election being over. silver-tongued orators and their hearers can take a rest. Some men wed the leading women of the community, consequently. are always led.

There are dark tricks in. politics. Gro- ver, whom we thought dead all over, will live in clover. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. DHL. of Meyers: dale, were the guests of THE STAR fami ly, Sunday last. The Republic party is a lively. corpse yet, ‘und don’t you forget it. Just wait until the next time. The average Prohibitionist would not kiss a body, should he meet a body cowmn- ing through the rye. The Republican party just let go its hold to spit on its bands. We will get there next time, sure. What has struck ns, a landslide ora Hurricane? Guess ‘twas Cleveland hur- ryin’ to the White House,” a The report that the Democratic majori- ties uave smashed down the telegraph wires, is donbtless correct, The wan who lost his money is now thoroughly ‘convinced that it is very wicked to bet on elections. "Tis well, or ’tis—a word that rhymes with *‘well”’—, just according to which side of the fence you belong: The Intest is that Mort Welfley is go- ing to start a poultry yard and use the postoffice boxes for incubators, Everybody can be thankful for some- thing; the victors for having won, and = the vanguished that it is no worse. The woman who weass the trousers is the one who gets the most new dresses. This may be strange, but it is true. The cabinet makers are already hard at work. They do more work for less pay than any other men in this country, A friend in peed is sometimes a friend indeed. but in most eases he is the fellow who asks you 10 loan him a quarter. The man who sits on the fence during the entire campaign is invariably the loudest shouter for the ticket elected. If any old soldier wants a pension, he had better hustle and get it before “King Veto” occupies the Presidential chair. Thanksgiving day comes on the 24th, but turkeys and Republicans can’t see what in blazes there is to be thankful for.

We missed the Reg- ister, as itis one of our best exchanges. Grandmother Nathan, mother of Squire Nathan, of Grantsville. died Inst week. Mrs. Nathan was a wery estimable lady and a life-long member of the Catholic church. In our estimation it ia more honorable to share defeat with the Republicans than victory with the Democrats. But we will admit that eating “‘crow” is far from being pleasant. C. 8. Livengood came home on a viait last Sunday and returned the same day.

Sonie Prohibitionists act too much like Demuoerats, thereby keeping other people out of the Prohibition party.

The school ma'am is the guiding star of the repuhlic. She takes the little hant: ling fresh from the home nest, full of pouts and passions, ungovernable little wretch, whose own mother often admits that she sends him fo school to gat rid of him. | The school ma'am takes whole car- loads of these little anarchists and puts them in a way to become useful citizens. At what expense of patient toil and soul wenriness? Do you imagine she is ever compensated by the salary received? Here is a stork story from Germany. For several years a pair of storks built their nest annually in the park of the Castle Ruheleben, in Berlin. A few years ago one of the servants placed a ring with the name of the place and the date on the leg of the male bird, in order to be cer- tain that the same bird returned each year. Last spring the stork came back to its customary place, the bearer of two rings.: The second one bore the inscrip- tion:? “India sends greetings to Ger- many.” During the rennion of the Fifty-fourth regiment at Johnstown on the 19th inst. a regimental organization was affected with the following officers: President, Captain P. Graham, of Johnstown; Vice President. €aptain J. H. Hite, of Stoys- town; Treasurer, Captain J. L. Decker, of Johnstown. It was also determined to hold annual reunions and the next one ‘will be held at Somerset, on the 19th of next September. Every member of the regiment is entitled to membership in this organization on the payment of a fee of one dollar, and the widows of deceased members will be enrolled as honorary members of the organization. An accident happened at Berlin Pulley works about noon on Wednesday by. which Mr. Franklin Forney was seriously injured. He was working on’ the eleva-. tor, when if8 supports broke and it drop- ped, Mr. Forney going with it; a distance of 25 feet. Mr. Forney’s skull was frac- tured above his left temple, several teeth were knocked out, his left shoulder and ankle badly sprained, and his entire left side severely bruised. He was carried 10 his home where he has since been suffer- ing greatly from his injuries. While the full.extent of his internal injuries has not yet been learned it is believed that he will recover; and his many friefids through- out the county sincerely hope that he will. —Standurd We all “Yemember that at a depth of ninety feet on the: poor: farm, oil was | found in such quantities as to make the well useless as a source of supply for drinking water.

He then announced that he was ready. His arms were pinioned, the black cap was drawn over his head and the trap sprung. The rape broke, and after being carried back on the scaffold more dead than alive he asked how long it would take to procure another one. = He was told about 10 min. nites, ‘Waell, give me my old fiddle while I'm waiting,’ hesaid.
