Lutheran services at 7:30 p. m ., next Sunday. Dr. Bruce Lichty, of Grantsville, was a Sunday visitor in Salisbury. Somerset has the itch. Well, it will not hurt the town to do a little scratch- ing. Harvev Lichty has secured a clerkship with Ehlen & Rees, in the Company store. Peter Auman. the father of Rev. Silas Hoover's wife, died last Sunday evening, at his home near Somerset. David Lichty has sold the Henry Smith farm, fomerly known as the N. Keim farm, to Daniel Augustine. Charles Snyder has purchased a prop- erty of J. M. Hay, in West Salisbury, and has moved to that town. I. D. Leydig, of Glencoe, was in town last Friday. As usual, his numerous friends here were glad to see him. The summer schedule will go into ef- fect on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and branches, Sunday, the 14th inst. We are sorry to say that Geo. K. Walk- er, the well known merchant, is very ill. We hope to see Mr. Walker out again, soon. Jonas E. Gnagey, the good-looking proprietor of the Farmers’ hotel, of Grantsville, was seen on our streets last Friday. Mr. Fred Anspach is one of the dandi- est best city gentlemen that ever visit this town. Everybody here seems to be : i his friend. k io The Reformed church has a tabernacle § : at the World's Fair for the accommoda- ga tion of the members of that church and | iti their friends. i Charley Walker is rejoicing over the i arrival of another boy. He says the pop- | 4 ulation of Boynton must yet come up to . that of Chicago. It will be noticed among our Grants | ville items that Garrett county had a big | hail storm, on Monday. We had noth- ing of that sort here. The old brick hotel stand at the north lena of Grant street is being torn down. {T. Glotfelty will erect a handsome new | brick cottage to take its place. { Irven Beals, who for the past few | | months instructed the Salisbury band, has, we are informed, been hired to teach | the Euterpean band, at Somerset. Our friend D. L. Stanton, of near Grantsville, made Tae STAR a short but | pleasant call, last week. He was accom- panied by a bright little daughter of his. Postmaster Welfley is all smiles, ow- ing to the arrival of a new boy at his house. It is said that the young fellow is a Democrat and intends to apply for the postoffice. Four applications for license to sell liguor at wholesale have been filed in the Prothonotary’s office. They will be acted upon at the next term of court.—Somer- | set Democrat. A. B. Newman and Albert Lowry are building Mrs. Broadwater’s new house. These two enterprising mechanics are good workmen and their services are in constant demand. There is a Pennsylvania Dutch parody on Shakespeare's “Hamlet.” Can anv of our readers tell us where a copy of it can be obtained? We would like very much to have a copy of it. Elijah Livengood again made more maple sugar than any other man in Penn- sylvania. He reports 8,794 pounds of sugar and 40 gallons of syrup for 1893, and it was a poor season, too. Silas Livengood has sold, at a hand- some advance, the hotel which he recent- ly bought in Los Angeles, Cal. He ex- pects to remain in Los Angeles, however, and will invest in something else. George Yinkey was instantly killed in a coal mine, near Woy station, on the S. & C. branch, April 21st. Andrew Miller, who was working with him at the time, had an arm borken in two places. John Brallier, of Berlin, a student at the Gettysburg College, has carried off the highest honors of the graduating class, this year, and will deliver the Latin salutatory at the college commencement in June. The effort to secure a pardon for Ed- mund Cummins, who is serving out a 10- year sentence in the penitentiary for set- ting fire to the Glade house, in Somerset, has failed. “Squire” will have to serve out his term. The Hoffman & Da Lou Comedy Co. play this week in Confluence. We hope they will have good audiences there, for they give good shows and are a very nice set of people. We hope they will come this way again. A very fine cow owned by Squire Lich- liter was killed on Monday, by a train on the Salisbury railroad. We sympa- thize with Mr. Lichliter in his misfortune. The cow is said to have been one of the most valuable in this part of the country. David Stripe, of "Allegheny township, recently celebrated his 94th birthday. Mr. Stripe is of the stripe of old men that can yet get around at a lively rate; but just how many cords of wood he can chop before breakfast. deponent sayeth not. > Our brother W. S., who has long been on the editorial staff of the Los Angeles Baily Herald, has become strongly at- tached to Southern California. He has bought a lot in Los Angeles, on which ke will build, this summer, and settle down for good. The violin solo rendered by 8. L. Liv- engood. at the time of the Salisbury band’s concert in Confluence, is very highly spoken of by a Confluence cor- respondent to the Somerset Standard. Sam is hard to beat when it comes to violin music. The report of the Rev. Benjamin Waugh, president of the English Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, says that charity has received ‘‘more money from theaters, music and concert halls than from all the churches and chapels in the kingdom.” Both the Republican and Democratic candidates for county offices are having large orders for cards filled at THE STAR office. About all of them seem to he onto the fact that we do the neatest work in that line. also that we use the best card board and charge the lowest prices. The Governor has appointed Dr. N. C. Shaeffer, of the Kutztown Normal School, State Superintendent of Public Instruc- tion. Dr. Shaeffer is well known in this county, having once resided in Somerset, during which time he tought a select school. He is said to be a very able man. S. P. Poorbaugh, of Chicago, formerly a resident of Glencoe. was visiting his Somerset county friends, this week. Mr. Poorbaugh is president and general man- ager of the Jasper hotel, at Chicago. one of the hotels erected for the accommoda- tion of World’s Fair visitors.—Standard. Dr. Jacobs, of Frostburg, was in town this week. and while here stated that the spinal disease in and about Frostburg is not as prevalent as reported. According to his statement the disease did not claim more than about one-tenth as many vie- toms as was reported here. We are glad | to hear this. William Boose, now of Nebraska, not | long since severely injured his side and as a result had a delicate surgical opera- | tion performed. He is still suffering from the wounds caused by the surgeon’s | knife, but it is hoped that he will soon be | | restored to his accustomed vigor.--Mey- | ergaale Register. sioner, subject to the decision of the Democratic primary election. Mr. Wag- | aman is one of the best men for that of- | fice that the Democrats can trot ont. Our friends in Northampton tell us that be | is i an exceptionally fine man. Charles Williams of Schellsburg, Bed- ford county, has in his possession the sword of Commodore O. H. Perry, the victor of Lake Erie. The sword was presented to his ancestor, James Wil- liams, a relative of Perry, and has been handed down from generation to genera- tion to the youngest son of the family. Somerset county farmers must look out for the hay-fork man. He has been in Westmoreland and adjoining counties. He gets you to sign an order for hay- forks, carriers, etc., for which von are not to pay until sold at a certain price. Of course the order turns out to be a promissory note, from the payment of which there is no escape.—Somerset Ve- dette, Ed Haselbarth is suffering somewhat with rheumatism, but yet he is able to attend to business. Ed informs us that his sister Jennie, who recently went to Washington, D. C.. for the benefit of her health, will soon return, owing to a re- lapse that she has taken. We are sorry to hear this, as Miss Haselbarth has suf- fered terribly with Fiieamatisim during the past year. Among the leading attorneys of Chica- go, none are perhaps better known than dohn F. Geeting, a native of Berlin, this county. Mr. Geeting is only forty-one years of age, but his success at the bar has been such that he on'y appears as counsel in cases of great importance. Mr. Geeting has als) become prominent- ly identified with Chicago city politics.— Senierset Herald. A pengnin, like the prodigal son, aim- lessly wandered off into the mountain and was caught last week hy Joseph Ho- stetler, while in the pine making sawlogs. Mr. Hostetler brought the fowl home, clipped the end of one wing and placed it on Chauncey Yutzy's fish pond. Here it seems perfectly satisfied, devouring the fish with great relish.—Buffalo Cor- respondent 10 Berlin R cord. Informations have been made against Peter Heffley, the well known stockman and politician of Somerset, charging him with secreting goods to prevent a levy and sale. with intent to defraud creditors. Heflley failed a few months ago, his debts amounting to several thousand dollars. Similar informations have been made against G. W. Heffley and Harry Heffley, both sons of Peter Heffley.—Berlin Rec- ord. We are in receipt of a marked copy of the Johnstown Daily Herald, which con- tains an article to the effect that County Supt. Berkey’s election to a third term was accomplished by fraud and bribery. It goes on to state that the election will likely be contested by the friends of Prof. Pritts. If everything set forth in the Herald istrue, there are sufficient grounds for a contest. Let the affair be investi- gated. John H. Werhtenheiser brought into the office, Wednesday, a limestone con- taining a perfect imprint of a horse's foot. He took it from the lime quarry on the railroad track south of the Berlin depot. It was thirty feet under the surface and indicates that the horse or some other anima! with similar pedal extremities pastured in these regions a few hundred thousand vears ago, possibly prior to the existence of the range of mountains now known as the Alleghenies.—Berlin Rec- ord. This town ought to have several more men like E. Statler. When Mr. Statler buys land ata good price there are al- ways lots of calamity howlers making a fuss about the “poor purchase he made.” But all the same, we notice that when Statler lays out lots they are soon covered with buildings and that he has ahout doubled or more than doubled his money in a very short time. Statler can shut one eve and see further ahead than some would-be smart men could see with a dozen eyes wide open. Following is the county ticket nomina- ted by the Prohibition county convention, which was held at Berlin, April 24th: Associate Judge, C. D. Spangler, of Shanksville; Sheriff, C. F. Zimmerman. of Quemahoning township; Prothono- tary. Eug. R. Floto, of Meyersdale; Coun- ty Commissioners, Levi Lichliter, of Sal- isbury, and John Speicher. Sr., of Stony- creek township; Auditor, D. W. Sorber, of Lambertsville; Poor House Director, Wm. Bowers, of Somerset: County Sur- veyor, Daniel Miller, of Meyersdale. Eugene R. Floto, of Meyersdale, was chosen as County Chairman. Tom Broadstock, while being an un- pretentious man, is nevertheless some- what of a sage, and many a wise saying falls from his lips. Not long ago a young man approached him and asked him for a chew of tobacco. Tom at once drew out his plug, wereupon the youth threw away his old quid and extended his hand for a fresh cut. But imagine his chagrin when Thomas. the sage, remarked: “Young man, never throw away an old friend until you have secured a new one.” He then poked his tobacco down deep into his pocket and walked away. The | youth, of course, didn’t get the chew, but he got what was more valuable—a piece of advice with a moral to it as long | right arm is still very tired. John Wagaman, of Northampton town- | { ship, is a candidate for County Commis- | as a fence rail. There were only nineteen candidates {in town, last Friday. and the editor's We had piles of cards here awaiting their arrival, and we received some additional orders before the boys all left. Many candidates had not been in Salisbury for | several years, and they expressed them- | selves agreeably surprised at the great advancement the town made during their | absence and at the rate it is still building up and improving. M. H. Hartzell, one ot the popular candidates for Sheriff, was hy all odds the finest appearing man among them, but they are all handsome and pleasant fellows. Call again. gentle- men, all of you; yon are ever welcome within our gates. and may the best men among you get the most votes. Two gentlemen were here from Daw- son, Pa., on Tuesday. trying to get a suitable room to put in a large stock of clothing and gents’ furnishing goods. They also wanted a residence property, but were unable to secure anything in that line. However, some arrangement will likely be made to get the new firm here, but no time should be lost in doing so. It seems to us that it is ahout time for the moneyed nfen of this town to get a move on them and quit standing in their own light. If they want this town to prosper and hnild up. thereby bring- ing more money and business into the town, why don’t the men who own good building lots build on_ them? There isn’t a week that some one isn’t scouring the town either looking for a dwelling house or a business house that can be rented. Rents are almost out of sight, yet people have to be turned away every week on account of not being able to se- cure huildings to move into. The mon- ey that the land owners of this town have lost by not erecting buildings would foot up to a very large sum. They have been holding back the progress of the town and losing money for themselves and nearly evervhody else in the com- munity. Fellow citizens. it is a shame. This town would donble itself in business and population in a very few years, if our land owners would only give it half of a chance. We are in receipt of a lengthy com- munication from Grassy Run, telling all about a marvelons piece of surgery per- formed on a horse of his by a veterinary surgeon of this loeality. We refuse to publish it for several reasons. First. be- cause the public is not interested in it to the extent that the owner of said horse imagines. Second, the surgeon men- tioned was probably paid in the coin of the realm for the services he rendered. and if he was paid. that out to be suffi- cient. If he was not paid. alenghty ha rangue and profuse thanks expressed through the paper will be very little con- solation to him. Third, Tor STAR has no mission fulfill in the way of allowing its columns to he used as a medium to advertise anv man’s business or profes- sion, free of charge. It costs money to have type set and no publisher can af- ford to run a paper for sweet charity's sake. Fourth, the communication in question would be more apt to fill any respectable and dignified man with chagrin than with a feeling of gratitude. Fifth, whenever persons want to write testimonials that are intended to benefit some one, they should hand them to the person to be benefited. Then. if the person to whom they are handed thinks they would benefit him if printed in a newspaper, he can get them printed at advertising rates. If he thinks other- wise, and is a man of good sense, he will not want them published, even though their publication would cost him nothing. But some people can’t getit through their craniums that a newspaper isn't a chari- table institution. professional Specimen Cases. S. H. Clifford, New Cassel, Wis., was troubled with Neuralgia and Rheuma- tism, his Stomach was disordered, bis Liver was affected to an alarming degree. appetite fell away, and be was terribly reduced in flesh and strength. Three bottles of Electric Bitters cured him. Edward Shepherd, Harrisburg, TI11.. had a running sore on his leg of eight vears’ standing. Used three bottles of Electric Bitters and seven hoxes of Buck- len’s Arnica Salve, and his leg is sound and well. John Speaker, Catawba, O.. had five large Fever sores on hisleg, |g doctors said he was incurable. One bot- tle Electric Bitters and one box Bucklen’s Arnica Salve cured him entirely. Sold at A. F. Speicher’s drug store. ’ The Elk Lick Oil Co. The Elk Lick Oil Co. had a meeting at Hay’s hotel, on Monday, and re-elected the old board of officers, witn the excep- tion of H. A. Reitz. who was elected to fill the vacancy left in the directorship by Geo. S. Young. All the officers will have to do is to settle up the business of the company, as the well has been abandoned and the engine, cable and other drilling apparatus sold by the Sheriff. W. N. Moser bought the engine. THE STAR is sorry indeed that the pro- ject had to be abandoned, for the opinion still exists here that there is oil in this re- gion. The test was far from being a thorough one, and in a community where there are as many wealthy men as there are here, it looks like a shame thata more thorough test was not made. How- ever, we are of the opinion that the well will prove a great benefit to this region, even if it wasn't put down as deep as it should have been. It has confirmed the opinion that several large veins of coal lie beneath the bed of the river, and the time will undoubtedly come when the great coal veins that the drill passed through will give this locality a great boom. Therefore, to the enterprising men who aroused public interest sufficiently | to sink a test well, { even though their fondest hopes were { of the much credit is due, not realized.

Mr. Hile- man and his efficient deputy, Joe Levy, are accustomed to such matters, but when the couple asked J. A. Berkev and A. I. G. Hay.
