TO CONSUMPTIVES.
The undersigned having been restored to
health by simple means, after suffering for sev-
eral vears with a severe lung affection, and that
dread disease CONSUMPTION, is anxi8us to make
known to his fellow sufferers the means of cure.
To those who desire it, he will cheerfully send
(free of charge) a copy of the prescription used,
which they will find a sure cure for CONSUMPTION,
AsTaMA, CATARRH, BroncHiTis and all throat
and lung MarLAapies. He hopes all sufferers will
try his remedy, as it is invaluable. Those desir-
ing the prescription, which will cost them noth-
ing, and may prove a blessing, will please ad-
dress.

WHATEVER else may be dragged into
partisan politics, there are two things
which should never be—pensions, and
the financial system of the country.

seems to be downed in this state.
OWING to a late act of the Legislature,
burgesses in this state can no longer be
elected for two terms of office in succes:
sion. The same act gives them the pow-

and their term of office has been increased
to thrée years.

THE Meyersdale Register is for the

that is on account of their patronage,

whether the Register man will vote for
them, but of course on account of patron-

them, which he well knows they do not
deserve. Such is life.
GENERAL GRANT was born and raised
a Democrat, but during the war he be-
came a Republican, and immediately
thereafter he was elected President of
the United States. He was a good Presi-
dent and a faithful Republican to the
end. Yet, because M. H. Hartzell was a
Democrat away back, thirteen years or
more ago, some fellows who are paid for
electioneering against him are trving to
make people believe that they should not
vote for him. Shame on such tactics!
Hartzell is all ‘OG. K. and don’t you for-
get it.
AvcusTus Davis, in the presence of S.
J. Lichty, the editor and others, remarked
that if he does not get a good vote in Sal-
isbury he will feed Salisbury people on
stale oysters when they come to Somer-
set. He further said that he never stole
anything from Salisbury people, hence
ought to get a big vote here. Now,
Gustie, dear, let us whisper a word in
your ear. Remember you cannot compel
people to vote for vou by using rudeness
and bad manners. You can lead a bull
to water, but you cannot make him drink.
You never stole anything of us, ’tis true,
but that may be because you never had a
chance. But be that as it may, the other
candidates never stole anything from us,
either, as Samuel J. Lichty told vou. Seo,
Gustie, dear, when you come over here,
don’t bowl up with beer, and snarl and
sneer, and get on your ear, or you'll be
scalped clean and clear; for we're full of
good cheer, none of us “skeer,” and we
know no fear, says THE STAR with a lear.
Do you hear?
Pur on thy working garments, O, Sal-

TEE Baker ballot law, as finally
amended and passed, is decreased to one-
half its present size. Onlv one set of
ballots and sample ballots is necessary;
reduces the percentage for party nomina-
tions from three to two; increases time
allowed for printing the ballots. pro-
vides that the printing of ballots for
spring elections shall be under the super-
vision of the County Commissioners;
certificates of nominations for members
of the House of Representatives shall be
filed with the County Commissioners in-
stead of the Secretary of the Common-
wealth; provides that one mark in a cir-
cle at the top of a column of candidates
shall be a vote for every one in that col-
umn. Where the circle is not marked, a
mark for every candidate voted for is then
required; a screen or door must be placed
on the front of each booth, thereby bet-
ter securing privacy; provides for greater
thickness of paper for ballots and the
corner of the ballot folded over shall be
printed black so that the number cannot
be seen through the paper; in case a per-
son votes for more persons than he is en-
titled to, the ballot shall not be entirely
thrown out, but so much of the ballot as
is properly marked shall be counted.
The disability clause of the act of 18938 is

Coneerning M, H, Hartzell.
Of all the nonsensical campaign rot
that is going the rounds, the most fool-
ish and contemptible is the story circu-
lated concerning M. H. Hartzell, the sum
and substance of which is to the effect
that he used to be a Democrat. Some of
the Hoover men are trying to make it ap-
pear that he flopped over, recently, with
no other end in view than to be elected
to office. The statement is a campaign
lie of the first water. It is true that Mr.
Hartzell was born and reared a Demo-
crat, but he showed his superior good
sense, years ago, by coming over to the
Republicans. For the last thirteen years,
Mr. Hartzell has been a staunch advocate
of Republican principles, and a more en-
ergetic, ceaseless and fearless worker than
he has been in the Republican party since
coming into it, never existed in Somerset
county. He has been one of the wheel
horses ever since he came from the Dem-
ocratic ranks and has done much effective
Republican work in many hotly contested
campaigns, Besides that, Mr. Hartzell is
a man of strict business integrity, manly
principles and generous-hearted in the
highest degree. He is one of nature's
noblemen—kind and sympathetie, yet
courageous and brave as a knight of old.
If elected, he will be a sheriff excelled by
none in the state as a competent and re-
liable officer. No better reasons can be
given for voting for any man than can be
given for voting for Mr. Hartzell.
There are especial good reasons why
the people of this locality should vote |
for him. Coupled with his excellent
qualifications for the office are several
deeds of valor that have bound him to
many of our best citizens with ties of
gratitude and respect that can not be
severed. It will be remembered by many
that some years ago, in Uniontown, he
saved the life of the nobiest, the grand-
est, the most philonthropic man that
ever resided in Salisbury. The life he
saved was that of Dr. C. G. Stutzman,
who was about to be shot down like a
dog by an English nobleman, who was
rebuked by the doctor for denouncing our
American free school system. Had it
not been for the speedy interference of
M. H. Hartzell, who interfered when
most men would have fled. the noble,
generous doctor so much beloved by all
his fellow citizens, for his good deeds,
would have heen converted into a corpse
then and there.
back on Mr. Hartzell at the coming elec-
tion? Tae STAR hopes not. Another
thing, Mr. Hartzell is a worthy hero of
the Johnstown flood. He was there at
the time the awful event occurred: and
when he saw men,
Can any of us then go
and found mothers
with their little babes strugeling in the
angry waters, did he do as some men did
—stand and look on? No: he imperiled
his life. time after time, and rescued the
drowning ones until hie was himself com-
pletely exhausted. He is accredited with
rescuing more people from the Johns-
town flood than any other one man.
We do not publish these things at the
solicitation of Mr. Hartzell or any of his
friends. It is done unknown to them,
and solely because we feel it our duty
since his record has been assailed in so
unjust and utterly false a manner, bv
some of the opposition, We have no ill
will toward Edward Hoover, Mr. Hart-
zell’s opponent, but some of the Hoover
boomers ought to be ashamed of the will-
fully malicious and untruthful campaign
thunder they are making use of. Either
of the two men may be well qualified to
officiate as Sheriff. out in the estimation
of Tne Star, Mr. Hartzell has the best
claim on it this round, and we hope there
will be enough Republicans of this opin-
ion to elect him, He was the next high-
est man the last time, and in justice to
him in that as well as in other respects,
we believe he should have the preterence
this time.
Fowls, when allowed their liberty, fix d
many articles of a spicy nature upon
which they feed. In confinement they
cannot furnish themselves with such ar-
ticles, but must be provided with them
by their keeper. By the use of them
their health is promoted—and healthy
fowls are equivalent to profitable fowls.

need and is easy to get and convenient to
