The people of this community are un-

for the substantial aid he extended to us
in the matter of getting two daily mails
from Meyersdale. Our congressman is

Mr. and Mrs. Letsworth’s little babe
died in Meyersdale, last Sunday, where
its mother had been visiting with her sis-
ter, Mrs. Samuel Gipe. The remains
were brought to Salisbury, on Tuesday,
for burial. Tare STAR extends its sym-

If Salisbury had electric light, it is not
likely that Beachy’s glass front wonld
have been battered in with a club. Dev-
iltry and darkness are twins. Let us
have electric light. It may make prom-
enading less pleasant for the young folks,
but it will also cause less devilment.
Mr. H. C. White. of Messrs. A. J.

The contract to put a steam heating
plant into the Salisbury school building,
has been awarded to Mr. Bolden. of Mey-
ersdale, for $575. We believe the Board
did a wise piece of business by deciding
on steam heat. Old-fogy notions have
got to give way to modern improvements.

There will be another mammoth pic-
nic at the Big Spring, on Negro moun-
tain, Saturday, Sept. 16th, It promises
tp be a greater affair than the picnic held
there a few weeks ago, which is saying a
greal deal; but we do not think we are
over-estimating it. Nobody can afford
to miss this picnic, as it will likely be the
Jast as well as the best of the season.
Mr. Hiller will be at Hay’s hotel, Sat-
nrday, Sept. 9th. and Monday, Sept. 11th,
with a complete line of fall and winter
samples, and will take orders for suits
and trowsers. Our prices are lower than
the lowest and we guarantee a perfect
fit. Call and see him, examine his sam-
ples and get his prices.

The band boys report a most excellent
time at the big wedding, down at 8. P.
Maust’s, Tuesday evening. They say
they were never better treated in all
their lives. They also report the wed-
ding a very nicely arranged affair and
wish the happy couple a long and pros-
perous life. The contracting parties
were Mr. Daniel Meyers, of near Berlin,
and Mr. Maust’s accomplished daughter
Lizzie.
Some few months ago, two men visited
our town, putting lightning rods on dif-
ferent houses with the following terms:

whatever. And if not taken down, the
sum of $30.00 was to be paid, which in- |
cluded a $500 insurance policy. Shortly
after the departure of our two friends,
the victims of said two, each received a
bill for $54, which they had to pay.

Nothing else is missed, hut the loss as it |
is amounts to about $110. It is plain to
see that whoever did the low-lived deed
had no other object in view than to take
guns, as a heavy cudeel was found out-
side the window, and the same was stick-
ing full of small pieces of glass, showing
at a glance that it was the instrument
used to make the opening. The cudgel
was a large piece of an old wooden sled
sole, which was shaved round at one end,
evidently to enable the user of it to get a
firm grasp on the same.
Nearly everybody in the vicinity heard
the broken glass jingle, and those who
rushed hastily to their windows and doors
saw two men running north, turn west
at the next corner, run down Union street
and disappear in the darkness.
The general opinion is that the deed
was committed by two strangers that
were seen loitering about town during
the afternoon and evening. We hope
the identity of the vagabonds will be dis-
covered and that justice will be dealt out
to them.
Strength and Health,
If vou are not feeling strong and
healthy, try Electric Bitters. If “La
Grippe” has left you weak and weary,
use Electric Bitters. This remedy acts
directly on Liver, Stomach and Kidneys,
cently aiding those organs to perform
their functions. If vou are afflicted with
Sick Headache, vou will find speedv and
permanent relief hy taking Electric Bit-
ters. One trial will convince you that
this is the remedv von need. Large bot-

Garrett,
This is onr first attempt in contribut-
ing a few items for the newsy SOMERSET
Couxty STAR. and should our first issue
escape the cruel waste basket, we may
muster up sufficient courage to continue
the same. It will not be necessary to
describe our already well-known, thrifty
and popular little burg. To those not
familiar with our town, we will simply
say she is a ‘“‘snorter,” and don’t yor for-
get it.
The good, refreshing rain, of late, has
been a God-send to our town as well as
all over the land. The sultriness and
overwhelming heat, so prevalent a week
ago, has subsided, and instead. we have
the pure, unadulterated air. which cannot
be excelled anywhere for its purity, sur-
rounded as we are by the bright glisten-
ing mountains, which can only be ex-
celled for grandeur by the snow-capped
Pikes Peak. And talk about health! I
believe we can proudly say what no oth-
er town in the county dare say, and that
is, that there is not one single case of
sickness in our town at present, to our
knowledge; but of course we have the
same trouble to contend with that Jurks
in every hamlet in our glorious union,
the cause of which can be better con-
jectured than explained—so at least say
the Democrats, while with the Republi-
cans it’s quite different.

Mrs. Mans. Baughman met with a very
painful and serious accident, whiie out
| driving, last week, with her husband.
The horse became unmanageable going
down a very steep grade, upsetting the |
vehicle and throwing Mrs. Baughman on |
a barbed wire fence, cutting a deep and
dangerous gash under her right arm and
bruising her otherwise. Our efficient Dr.
Pollard is in attendance.
Mr. K. Kimmel's new house is com-

suitable building for hotel purposes and
adds a very important feature to our
town.
Our genial mining boss at Casselman

Talking about hard times—well, don’t
mention it. We ask no whys and where-
fors. It is entirely unnecessary—a plain
case. Our Democratic friends dare not
kick, and the Republicans, who were so
smitten, last fall, will not kick, bnt just
quietly chuckle to themselves and ‘let
her go calico.”
Garrett was well revoresented at the

veyance, the next day. One young man
in particular, who apparently had imbibed
too freely in the use of ‘‘iced tea,” and
becoming very exhausted after attempt-
ing very faithfully in the “tripping of
the fantastic toe.” took refuge in some
farmer’s two-horse wagon. The farmer
in the dark overlooked this piece of hu-
man freight and journeyed homeward,
while “Hons” imagined himself tucked
away snugly in the Berlin buffet sleeper;
but to his surprise he woke up at half
past nine, the next morning, in a very
rackety looking wagon shed, in New
Baltimore. This looks very suspicions,

As to how? enquired the hotel clerk.
Well, this is how, continued the book
agent. Two weeks ago I went into Bos-

he tackled a hack driver.

me to Parker’s.
No damage at all, sir, replied the hack-
man, with a Harvard accent.

Quite sure, sir, if you go with me.
Then I'll go with you, and he piled in
and I took a street car.
At Parker's the driver opened the door
politely and handed him out.
