Henry Loechel has moved into his new hotel building at Salisbury and it is now ready for the accommodation of the pub- lic.

It is a credit to Salisbury and the county.—Somerset Democrat. S. L. Livengood was in Meyersdale all last week, helping to furnish music for the Catholic tair. He reports a very well conducted and well patronized fair, and say8 he is under many obligations to Father McKenna for kind and courteous treatment received from the popular priest and his people. Father McKenna is said to be a very myrthful gentleman, one that never fails to make his friends feel perfectly at home with him. In many towns throughout the county a general cleaning up is the order of the day. The idea of it all isto be prepared to battle with cholera. Salisbury, while being cleaner than most towns, neverthe- less has some filthy alleys, gutters and cess pools that need prompt attention. Clean up the town in time; even if cholera does not visit us, a general cleaning-up will do a vast amount of good and add greatly to the good appearance of our hastling little city. John M. Topper, of New Baltimore, is the owner of a horse that enjoys a chew of tobacco as much as any curb-stone loafer in the land. The animal has been known to devour a ten-cent plug in the course of a day, without suffering any ill effects, and on numerous occasions he hag been caught in the act of rubbing his nose against the cheek of a tobacco chew- er in a manner that was interpreted to say, “let me have a chew off your plug.” —Somerset Herald. Mrs. Arthur McKinley died of lung fever, Wednesday night. Funeral Fri- day at2 o'clock. The deceased was a very highly respected lady and for many years a faithful member of the Reformed church. She was about 78 years old and was the mother of Dr. D. O. McKinley, Dr. H. C. McKinley, S. R. McKinley, Miss Jenet McKinley, Mrs. E. McDowell, Mrs. C. Wahl and Mrs. Elijah Fuller. THE STAR extends its sympathy to the be- reaved family and friends. The school directors of this county will meet at the Court house, first Tnes- day in May, to elect a County Snperin- tendent. They ought to elect a new man. Not that Supt. Berkey has not been a good officer, but because there are other men in the county that could fill the office just as well, and some that would fill it better. It is nearly always a mistake to give an officer a third term. especially when he uses nearly all of a second term to ‘‘farm” a third. We wish to caution our readers against answering Canadian advertisements offer- ing prizes for centests of various kinds. Nearly all the newspapers in the country have been flooded with these advertise- ments, and they have about all discov- ered, to their sorrow, that they have been advertising the business of some of the worst swindlers and charlatans in the world. It is safe to steer clear of abont all Canadian advertisements. We know that the newspapers will steer clear of them, anyway. One of the latest swindles practiced in this part of the country is an advertise- ment of a steel engraving. It reads like this: “‘Cut this out and send $2.50 and you will receive a beautiful steel engrav- ing, ‘The Landing of Columbus.” This engraving is authorized by the govern- ment and an exact copy of the work of one of the great masters.” Some man answered it, and received in return a Co- lumbian postage stamp. A great many people have been victimized in this way. Look out for this. On April 1st Lou Brown killed the first snake of the season. Mr. Brown says it was a real, live snake, not an imaginary one. He declares that he can prove by “jim jams” at the time. and furthermore, says he is willing to be sworn to the fact { as stated. As this is undoubtedly a true bill, it is safe to say that very few fellows | . . . . i will venture out on a fishing trip without | bite remedy, which it is needless to say is | always taken internally. | On Monday there was a bad wreck on several witnesses that he did not have the | tibn that ought to render all its services train men jumped in time to save their lives. but Engineer Meyers had a very narrow escape. In jumping be sprained his ankle severely, but was very glad to escape without receiving more serious in- juries. The wreck train was soon on the sceneand cleared up the wreck, which required a good deal of time and labor. R. M. Beachy, the popular veterinary surgeon, who knows a good thing when he sees it. bought a Webster's Interna- tional Dictionary at THE STAR office. this week. Mr. Beachy is fond of useful books and aims to get the best. We sell the aforesaid dictionary at this office. If you don’t want to be humbugged by cheap reprint editions that are 40 years behind the times, then buy your diction- aries at THE STAR office. We have the sole agency for this town for the only genuine Webster's dictionary. Bear this in mind, and also remember that we sell them as low as you can buy them any- where. Genial Mart Hartzell, of Rockwood, was in town this week shaking hands with his numerous friends. Mr. Hart- zellis one of those honorable, whole- souled men that Salisbury people always like to meet. He is the popular wool and fur buyer that has been making his rounds here for years—popular heéause of his gentlemanly bearing and honor- able dealing with. all who have ever done business with him. Mart Hartzell is one of the few men whom we have never heard an evil word spoken of. Everybody seems to be his friend. The only thing we dislike about him is the fact that he is not a citizen of this town, but we hope he will pardon our dislike. Another scheme for catching the loose change of honest people is disclosed in a recent issue of the Jamestown Journal, as follows: A Jamestown lady received an express package from Chicago containing’ a small “*diamond” ring, with a note that the ring had been purchased there for her, but the jeweler had forgotten to charge for resetting the diamond, which was worth $1.50. As the purchaser was not known, this amount was to be collected on delivery of the ring by the express messenger. The lady, of course, paid the 1.50, and also thirty-five cents express charges. Becoming suspicious that all was wot right, she took the ring. toa jeweler in the evening, and he informed ber that it was not worth three cents. Supt. Cutter, of the Pittsburg division of the B. & O. railroad, made a tour over the Salisbuiy branch, Wednesday, in his special car. He was here, we are in- formed, to look into our demand for bet- ter passenger service. It is earnestly hoped that he will see fit to grant our re- guest, for we need better passenger ser- vice very, much. The Salisbury branch is one of the best paying branch roads in the state, and as there are several thout sand people in this vicinity that desire and badly need better passenger service, we can not see why it should not be granted. The people ‘here have done a greal deal for the benefit of the railroad, and it is therefore natural for them to feel that they should receive better pas- senger accommodations. ‘Country publishers who received city subscriptions from people who cannot feel any interest in its local news, may be will find an explanation in this paragraph from the New York Times: A wholesale grocer in this city, who has become rich at the business. says his rule is that when he sells a bill of goods on credit, to im- mediately snbseribe for the local paper of his debtor. So long as bis customer ad vertised liberally he rested, but as soon as he began to contract his advertising space, he took the fact as evident that there was trouble ahead and invaribly went for the debtor. Said he: ‘The man who is 100 poor to make his business known is too poor to do business. The withdrawal of an advertisement is evi- dence of weakness that business men are: not slow to act upon. There's nothing like it.” 8. L. Livengood last week sized up the Meyersdale cornet band in good shape, and says honesty and candor compel him to give credit to whom credit is due. He says while the Salisbury band is still considerably In the lead, he must admit that the Meyersdale band has improved wonderfully in the past few months and that he can see no reason why it should not become the best band in the county, in course of time. Meygrsdale has the finest set of instruments in this part of the country, and the boys will soon be equipped with uniforms that will be out of sight. With theequipments they have; and the large number of members, it ought to be the best band in the county. The citizens down there take a great in- terest in it, well knowing that a good band is a great benefit to a town, and under such circumstances it may turn out that our bovs will some time have to take second place among the bands of the county. The people here do not take enough interest in the band; they look upon it too much as a charitable institu- > Copland’s 19-cent Condition Powder is equally adopted for Horses, Cows, Hogs and Poultry.
