in the future to catch up to a living price;

WANTICID?! One hundred of
our subscribers to pay their subscription
to Tur STAR as soon as possible.
We want to buy an engine for.
our printing office. and to buy an engine
we will need considerable money; hut ifg
100 of our subscribers pay up promptly,
we ean get an engine on short order.
Several hundred of our patrons are ow-
ing us amounts ranging from $1.50 to
£3 00. and nearly all of them can easily
pay the small individual amounts they
owe us. By paving these small amounts
they will not bankrupt themselves, but
collectively they ean raise enough money
in a few days to buy the engine so badly
needed.
We must have it, asit is al-
most impossible for us to get along with-
out steam power any longer. Therefore,
do your Christian duty by paying what
vou owe ns. As soon as we get that en-
gine there will be no more delays in get:
ting out the paper, and the paper will al-
so be better in every way. Besides that,
it will be a great credit to Salisbury to
have a large steam printing office. Join
the procession of progress and help us to
boom the town. You can help us great-
iv by paying. what yon owe us. Don’t
delay in the matter, for the money is due |
ns; pav up at once.

The Hyndman Bulletin and Meversdale

lat each other until each of them got a
new head put on it.
It is reported that Rev. A. D. Gnagey,
of Meversdale, has secured the Mever:-

THE STAR is under obligations to David
Lichty for several news items which he
sent to the office, this week. We are al-
ways glad to receive items of news.
We are under obligations to John R.

We doubt whether there is a county in
the state that has more substantial banks
than those of Somerset county, and the
Valley Bank of Elk Lick is as solid as
any of them.
The Somerset Herald is anthority for
it that the store of G. W. Phillippi, at
Rockwood, has gone Democratic, having
been closed by the Sheriff. We are sor-
ry to hear this.
J. L. Barchus, after spending several

Savs the Somerset Vedette: “One of
the pathetic things in these stringent
times is that the Hyndman Bulletin is
still being published and is dreavier than
ever.” That is the unkindest ent of all.
Mrs. Geo. H. Suhrie is taking lessons
in banking, at the Farmers’ bank, in

It is reported that Simon Glotfelty’s
private carp pond was recently blasted
and that hundreds of fish were killed.
This is one of the worst outrages we have
heard of for a long time. The Commer-
| cial says the blame is laid to: men that
pass themselves off as pious and reform-
ers of Meyersdale.
The following named Democrats have

| that an apple was recently handed to its
| editor, by Casper Wahl, that weighed
{one pound. It was of the Monster Ram-
| bo variety and grew on one of Mr. Wahl’s
own trees. That was a good apple, for
| a dry season, and we have read of no
| larger ones this year.
The boiler of the steam heating plant
{ at the school house, today sprung a leak
and no steam could be raised to heat the |
| building. This will no doubt be joyful
news to the mossbacks who were opposed
to putting in the steam plant, but their joy
| will soon be at an end; for the hoiler will
soon be repaired and heating will go on
| as smoothly as before.
| Pittsburg papers of last week state that
Adam Nicholson, August Sellers and
Alex. Nicklow, all of Somerset county, |
blew out the gas at the Merchants’ hotel
in that city, when they went to bed, and |
that their mistake was discovered by the
hotel clerk, just in time to save their
lives. Thev had a narrow escape and
were unconscious for three hours.
Jonas J. Beachy called at TrAr STAR
office. this week, and gave us a full ac-
count of the robbery that recentlv oc-
curred at his home in Garrett county,
Md. His report differs very little from
that given by our Grantsville correspond-
ent. last weck. Mr. Beachy takes his |
misfortune very calmly, but he feels his
loss, nevertheless, and we sympathize
with him.
A. O. McKinley writes from Baltimore,
as follows: *‘I am now located and down
to hard work; but I must have Ting STAR
as a letter from home to keep me posted.
If I take three years in medicine and two
in the hospital, I think I ought to equal
at least the average M. D.” THE STAR
just wishes to add that our friend Me-
Kinley is bound to succeed. He has grit
as well as brains.
The big extract factory at Salisbury,
the largest manufacturing establishment
in Somerset county, is still doing business
at the old stand, and its wheels are rumb-
ling dav and night. But where, oh
where are the great wooden pin and elec- |
trical supply factories of Meyersdale? |
They are “up the stump,” the fate of all |
concerns of that kind that try to exist in
a quiet residence town like Meyersdale.
We notice that some of the preachers
of the waring factions of the Evangelical
Association are boring the public by re-
viewing their church fight through the
columns of several newspapers. They
should not do so, as the general public
has long ago grown tired of their unholy
warfare. There are men in both factions
that have been making fools of them-
selves in ways that are neither creditable
to their church nor to thems@lves.
The Herald says an average of 80 men
are steadily employed at the Listie coal
mine, near Somerset, and that the mine's
shipments average 12 carloads of coal
per day. That is an average of about
140 tons per day, or 1% tons per day for
each man employed. Great Caesar! but
the Listie miners must make money.
Here in the Elk Lick region there are
scores of miners that will each dig 10
tons of coal per day, as regular as clock
work, and some days some of them will
dig a great deal more. The Herald also
says that the Listie Co. will likely erect a
lot of coke ovens.
The elocutionary entertainment given
in the Opera house. last Saturday eve-
ning, bv Byron W. King, was indeed a
grand treat for the people of this town.
Mr. King understands his business, but
there is one thing he can not do worth a
cent, and that is impersonate the Irish.
At least that seems to be the general
opinion of those who heard him last Sat-
urday evening. However, he is a great
all-round impersonator and elocutionist
and pleases his audiences wherever he
goes. Tur STAR hopes he will visit Sal
ishury again. We are glad to note that
Mr. King was greeted by a large audience
here.
The other day we heard a Salisbury
man remark that he can’t see why so
many women of this town always go to
Meversdale to buy their coats of 8. C.
Hartley & Co. The answer is easy.
When Hartley & Co. get anything new,
they are not afraid to invest in enough
printers’ ink to let the public know it.
Every lady in Salisbury will read their
“ad” in this issue, and a good many of
them will zo there and buy new coats.
We can prove this by the ladies them-
selves. The merchant that whines and
says he is too poor to advertise, is usual-
ly too stingy to advertise, and people do
not like to deal with a stingy merchant.
The grand jury of the United States
court at Pittsburg yesterday returned a
true bill against P. A. johns, ex deputy
collector of internal revenue in this dis-
trict: for embezzlement. There are re-
ported to be six counts in the indictment.
The prosecution of Johns is but a contin-
uation of that of Jast spring, which re-
sulted in such a triumphant vindication
of the late deputy collector. It is being
engineered by the same gang, and is like-
lv toresultasthe former trial did. Johns’
friends in Uniontown say they feel no
alarm whatever and that when the prop-
er time comes they will proceed to make
it interesting for the unscrupulous gang
that defeated Johns for Sheriff, and not
satisfied with that, have kept hounding
him ever since.—Uniontown News.

The Somerset Standard last week con-
tained an excellent biographical sketch
of Hon. W. H. Koontz, in which much
is said of his ability as a public speaker
and his excellent gunalifications as a law-
yer. And every word of the sketch is
true. Somerset is full of political up:
starts, walking vest-pocket editions of
Blackstone, nonentities that think thev
can make political speeches, numbskulls
filling public offices, ete... but the Hon.
W. H. Koontz does not belong to that
class. He is no sputtering pettifoguer.
but an able, learned, eloquent lawver—a
man of originality and brains. He does
not ape after others, and any intelligent
person hearing him speak will at once
recognize his superior abilitv. He is as
far above some other men who have of
late vears heen prominently identified
with Somerset county politics, and who
by the way have been trying to pose as
great men, as heaven is above earth.
Mr. Koontz’s record in Congress is es-
pecially good. He was not a mere figure-
head there, but served on some very im-
portant committees and made some speech-
es while there that were read and admired
by the whole nation. Some of his speech-
es are recorded on the pages of history.

That the editor and delinquent are in life in-

But at death they must each take a different

Last Friday evening Milton J. Beachy’s
hay shed, which has long been known as
“the tobacco stable.” was consumed by
fire. The building contained about 12
tons of hay, all of which was burned.
No insurance. .
The stable having been situated a re-
mote distance from Mr. Beachy’s house,
and near the railroad, it had become
noted as a harbor for tramps and women
of the ‘‘Soiled Dove” fraternity. It is
supposed, therefore, that the fire was
either of incendiary origin or was caused
by the carelessness of tramps. Mr.
Beachy has the sympathy of the com-
munity in his misfortune.
