The Meyersdale Independent Band has done gone died, says the Commercial. When you want to see the crooked made straight, look at a railroad map.— Ex. Bob Showalter, of Meyersdale, made this, his old native town, a visit, this week. Mrs. John J. Keim went to Uniontown, last week, to visit her daughter, Mrs. A. D. Johnson. Abram Williams has broken ground for a new house in the Stutzman addition to this borough. J. B. Engle has sold his farm to Mr. Humes, of Bellefonte. We haven'tlearn- _ed for what consideration. A. O. Mc Kinley has, returned from the Baltimore Medical College and will remain at home until next fall. Mr. and Mrs. Henry De Haven have moved back to Salisbury, from Meyers- dale. Salisbury is the best place yet. Only fifty cases of cerebro spinal men- ingitis in Frostburg and vicinity, say the papers. That means about fifty deaths. Frank Folk has moved to Shade Hol- low, west of Grantsville. Over this way we are sorry to lose Frank as a cittzen. J. L. Barchus will sell at auction, on Saturday afternoon and evening, 2 large 1t. The Chesapeake & Ohio canal, which bad been taking a sort of Rip Van Winkle | snooze, is again doing a booming busi- ness. Peter S. Hay, we are informed, will have steam heat put into his residence and store. Steam is the proper thing for heating. John White, the veteran peddler, was in town last week. Thus it seems that John wasn’t frozen to death, after all, last winter. A large concourse of people attended Samuel Folk’s funeral, last week. The funeral sermon was preached at the Mennonite church. E. L. Shoemaker, who was arrested in Meyersdale, some time ago, for rape, and escaped from the lockup, has been captured in Cumberland. Harry, son of Dr. G. J. Beachy, the dent- ist, was married at Duquesne, Pa., by Rev. O. F. Harshman, to Miss Florence R. Dickerson, of Monongahela City, on April 10th. Dr. Lichty has put up a good street lamp in front of his residence. Oil lamps for street lighting are better than nothing, but this town ought to have electric light, by al! means. There seems to be a growing senti- ment in favor of celebrating Somerset county’s 100th birthday, which will occur in 1895. Tue STAR would be most heart- ily in favor of the celebration. The Vedette boasts of having 160 sub- scribers in Somerset. THE STAR has about double that number right here in Elk Lick. which has a much smaller pop- ulation than Somerset. Anyone doubt- ing this statement can come in and ex- amine the books. J. J. Reitz. who lost his building by fire at Berkley’s Mills, has purchased a store at Downey, this county. However, W. W. Shumaker still holds the fort in the mercantile business at Berkley’s Mills and intends to enlarge his building and increase his stock of goods. R. B. Sheppard has moved into his new barber shop in the basement of the Valley house. He now has very cozy quarters and feels as proud as Lucifer. “Shep” is a good barber and has long needed a better place of business than the one he had. Success to him. Chris Lichty, the veteran drover, is visiting his brother, “Soldier Billy,” this week. Chris says he has made in al forty-one trips east with cattle. Chris was always considered the best cattle driver in the country, and whenever a drove was to be taken east, his services were always in active demand. Sam Mier is evidently a candidate for some office. At any rate he was seen carrying a gallon can with a strange look- ing combination top to it, the other day, and he seemed to be interviewing a great many voters, for some reason or other. Of course Sam can’t tell what he was try- ing to accomplish, but perhaps the gallon can. Last Friday our band went to Rock- wood to give a concert for the henefit of the Rockwood band. They had a large audience and are loud in their praise of the courtesy and hospitality of the Rock- wood people. From Rockwood they went to Confluence, where they also gave a concert and were greeted and applauded by a good audience. The Amish brethren recently presented Simon Lichty a spring wagon that cost $85. for which they deserve much credit. Mr. Licbty some time ago had a run- away, and at the same time was hadly hurt himself, in the wreck. The Amish are a charitable people, and when they pity a man they usually pity him in a way that benefis him. C. 8B. Livengood came home from Scottdale, the other day, for a visit with his parents. And what is more, he brought a handsome bride with him. We welcome our new cousin and are proud to have her numbered with the Livengood family. THE STAR extends its most hearty congratulations to the newly wedded couple. Long may they live and prosper. Editor Tredwell, of the Somerset Ve- dette, accuses us of referring to him as being bald-headed. Our erring brother is mistaken. It was his paper that we referred to as being bald-lieaded, and we were lead to that conclusion on aceonnt of the Vedette being covered with flies. The editor of that journalistic upstart | seems to be empty-headed, but as to bald- ness, it was his paper that we referred to. The spinal disease which is so preva- {lent in the Georges Creek coal region. is said to be epidemic hut not contagious. It is supposed that there is something in the air or water of that locality that causes the disease. In some cases per- sons apparently in the best of health have suddenly taken this disease and died in a very short time. It is said that beer drinkers who become afflicted with this malady never recover, C. F. Winter. of the firm of Ellen & Rees, arrived here last week from Balti- more, looking thin and delicate as ever. We fear. that poor Charles has the con- sumption, judging from the way he can | consnme all manner of things good to eat | He has wasted away until there is but 250 {pounds of him left, but his numerous | friends here all hope that he will present { a stouter appearance by the next time he | makes Salisbury a visit. | The Meyersdale Commercial has elec- | tricity on the brain, as usual, and pre- | dicts that the time will come when the | country highway will be a thing of the | portion of his immense stock of goods. | past, electrie roads taking its place. We do not doubt it in that time will or later. All that is necessary is cheapness of system, the least; surely come, sooner and when that is acquired, we will soon have that electric road. In other words, we will have it when the proper time comes. Mrs. Christian Bower died last Satur- day morning of spinal meningitis. She was afflicted but a few days with the terrible disease which for the past few months has been claiming so many vic- tims in Frostburg and Lonaconing. Nearly all who get this spinal disease die in afew days, and it is getting to be feared almost as much as cholera, This is the first case in this vicinity and we hope it will be the last, Mr. Bower and family have the sympathy of the com- munity. If yon are getting lazy, watch James. If your faith is below par, read Paul. If you are impatient, sit down quietly and have a talk with Job. If you are just a little strong-headed, go and see Moses. If you are getting weak-kneed, take a look at Elijah. If there is no song in your heart, listen to David. If you feel chilly, get the Beloved Disciple to put his arms around you. If you are losing sight of the future, climb up to Revelation and get a glimpse of the prom- ised land. The handsome portico which so long graced the brick strircture now known as THE STAR building. was. torn down this week, which makes the building look rather strange. The plank pavement was also removed, and Tom Broadstock, who is an expert in his line, will replace it with a handsome flagstone pavement. The portico will not be replaced, and we are glad of it. We have also removed our handsome Brussells carpet from our sanctum and made numerous other changes about the place. A prominent physician says that the average cook is absolutely ignorant ot sanitary cause and effect, and that the kitchen processes are sources of illness more often than imagined by placing milk, jelley. butter and other absorbents in the open air without covering them up. If a medical man wants to secure organisms for investigation he will ex- pose gelatine to the air where malignant germs are confined, and the gelatine quickly attracts and holds them, which is the same thing that the food will do. David Sheppard. the popular Meyers- dale barber, and Bert Bolden, a Meyers: dale plumber, were welcome guests at Tne Star office, this week. Plumbers are usually looked upon as skinners, and if Mr, Bolden belonged to the skinning class of plumbers, we might say that we were visited by a shaver and a skinner. But Mr. B. isn’t that kind of a plumber, for he has the reputation of heing a good workman and honest in his dealings. And Dave Sheppard—well, everybody knows Davie, and a better fellow can’t be found. The new Valley house at Salishury, Henry Loechel. proprietor, has been formally opened to the public. Itisa handsome. three-story structure, beanti- fully finished and tastefully furnished throughout, heated with a hot air fur- nace. and supplied with every conveni- ence for the comfort of the traveling public. It used to be a reproach upon Salisbury that she had no edequate hotel facilities. This is no longer true, She has two good hotels where the transient or permanent guest will receive the best accommodations obtainable.—Meyersdale Register. : T. Glotfelty, who recently sold his residence to N. R. Newman for $2,200. has purchased the old brick hotel stand at the north end of Grant street, for §1,- 000. The old brick, while it is very much delapidated and almost beyond re- pair, nevertheless contains a great deal of good material that can be used in a new building. About three acres of val- uable ground belongs to this property, and taking that into. consideration, it is generally conceded that Mr. Glotfelty made a wise purchase. We understand he will pull down the old house and erect a handsome new one in its place. The Hoffman & Da Lou Comedy Co. has been playing in the Salisbury opera house, this week, and justice compels us to say that it is the best company that has ever played in this town. These people are all very courteous, and besides that, are all star actors. The company was somewhat broken up after arriving here, owing to sickness; but the vacancies are expected to be filled by Saturday eve- ning, when they will show again, with a full company. The performances will be much better than heretofore. All who enjoy a good show should attend. Tick- ets on sale at Beachy’s hardware store. As a rule the man who writes his sale bills instead of getting them printed, does not gain much. People think the man who is too stingy to spend a dollar or two with the printer, either hasn't much to sell. or what he has isn’t very valuable. To show how people miss'it by what they consider a little economy, some written sales bills were posted in Somerset this week, in which it was announced that the property would be disposed of *‘at 10 ” He will hardly have a very large attendance at this sale at that late hour of the night—two hours before the advent of Sunday o'clock, p. m. morning.

It is proposed to manufacture armor plate, structuarl steel, ‘machinery, etc. ‘I'he projectors are looking for a site and will perhaps choose a location near Mo- nongahela City. ‘With ber immense de- posits of cheap fuel and fire-clay, Somer- set county could offer better inducements than the Monongahela Valley for such an enterprise. Here is a pointer for the board of trade. With such an industry assured, competing transportation facili- ties would soon come.—Meyersdale Reg- eter. . Last Sundav C. F. Winter, John Rees, Stewart Smith, C. ». .acnliter, W. E. Mier and the editor of THE STAR spent the day in the country, at the hospitable home of Elijah Livengood. That we had a most excellent time, goes without say- ing it. We were treated to a dinner fit for the gods, and the way in vhich that man Winter succeeded in getting on the outside of all manner of good things was a caution. However, the whole party did their whole duty at the table, and all agree that no woman in the country isa better cook than Mrs. I. Both Mr. and Mrs. Livengood were in their usual merry mood, and if there are any people in this neck of the woods that know how to make guests feel at home with them, they are the ones that do. Fond recollec- tions of the day will long be cherished by the visiting delegation, and the good host and hostess have a standing invita- tion to call on any of the party, at any time and all times, and receive return courtesies and the best treatment we can give them. The next triennial assessment will be the most important in the history of the county, Within the last year at least two-thirds of the mineral in Somerset county has been purchased by capitalists and syndicates from abroad. If these minerals are properly assessed, (as they should be), the owners of real estates in Somerset county will experience a great relief by way of taxes. These outside capitalists do not expect to develop their minerals probably for many years to come, and, no doubt, they count on dodging their taxes, as they have done heretofore; but thie should not be per- mitted in the future. The county treas- ury and the local school and township treasuries have been swelled to the ex: tent of at least $18,080 within the past two years from taxes of minerals in Som- e1set county, and so far the work in this direction has been confined to five town- ships. This serves to give something of an idea of what is to come’ if the great bodies of minerals since purchased are intelligently assessed. —Standard. There are several things that make a newspaper reporter weary and cause him to go into the press room, sit down on the ink keg and commune with the printer's devil. Amid the hissing sfeam from the engine and the lurid surround- ings when the: dexil, wraps up a roller in a paper, and only half of the edition is off, the resorter finds rest from the enemy of the person whom he has given a little puff, and safety from the person who is looking for him with a stuffed club on account of a fancied injurv. It is here, also, that the reporter tries in vain to solve the enigma: Why is it that people of even ordinary intelligence do not know that in the writing of an article the re- porter's personal opinion does not enter into i1? Why will they never, never learn that he dishes out news of an ene- my’s triumphs withont regard to his own feelings in the matter, just as he records a friend's misfortune? In either case he stands in the frving pan. and jumps into the fire or remains in the pan; it depends entirely on which touches the bottom, friend or foe.—Ex. : Owing to a lack of funds, our band* hoys are feeling very much discouraged. They say that unless the citizens come to their rescue with a necessary amount of financial aid, the band will have to he abandoned. We are sorry to hear this, as our band is a musical organization that any town of 10.000 inhabitants could well be proud of, and we would hate very much to see it die. A good band isa great benefit to a town in more ways than most people think of. It livens up a place most wonderfully. and on more oc- casions than one is the means of bring- ing many people to town that otherwise would remain at home. As citizens of the hastling borough of Salisbury. we should not Jet our band go to pieces. It is the best musical organization in Som- erset county, and we should feel proud enough of that honor to do our part toward keeping it together. And right here a few timely remarks are in order. Some of the citizens complain of the band, because they think the boys do not come out often enough to give the town some music. That is very true: the boys sel- dom play on the street: but on the other hand, they claim that they play enough for the small support that the citizens have been giving them. This is also true, and THE STAR does not believe that the fault is all on one side. We are all linble to make mistakes, and we must say that on several occasions the band did not treat THE STAR exactly right, not- withstanding the fact that we have al- ways done our full share towards its sup- port and keeping up its reputation. But we are of a forgiving nature, and know- ing that all persons have their faults and short-comings, we think it best to drop | all grievances and let by-gones be by- | gones. We shouid all work. together for [ the good of the town, and learn to under- | stand each other better. We have this | suggestion to make: If more money is i | | * Copland’s 19-cent Condition Powder is equally adopted for Horses, Cows, Hogs and Poultry.

It should also be stated on the subscription paper that the band will at all times be ready and willing to play for the citizens, free of charge, whenever they desire to have any kind of public meeting or demonstration that is noy in- tended to make money out of. By this, we mean all meetings held for the public good, not political, partisan or other meetings held for individual glorification or financial gain, We believe if the boys start out on this line they will succeed.

Next year will be Salisbury’s 100th anniversary, and it should be celebrated amid the beating of drums ‘and the blare of trumpets. Therefore, we can not afford to let our band go to pieces, but all of us, the band and the citizens, must do our duty toward one another. . A Million Friends.

As long atime as David reigned, so long has the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway run trains westward from Chicago. The Rock Island is foremost in adopting any advantage ealenlated to improve speed and give that luxury, safety and eomfort that popular patronage demnnds. Its equipment is thorough- v complete with vestibu'ed traning, magnificent dining ears, sleepers and chair coaches, all the most elegant, and of recently imnroved patterns. Faithful and enpable management and polite, honest service from employes are important items. They are a double duty—to the Com- pany and to travelers—and it is sometimes a task difficult of accomplishment. Passengers on this line will find little cause for complaint on that ground. The importance of this Line can be better un- derstood if a short lesson in geography be now recited. What is the great Eastern termini of the Roek Island RouteY—Chicago.
