struck on the head by a piece of a

Wé have often wondered why so
many people throughout Somerset
county sign liquor license petitions. In
spite of the publication of the names in
the Prohibition Era, the lists seem to be
longer every year. A citizen of Salis-
bury explainsit in this way: “People
are so fond of seeing their names in
print that they will sign anything to
have their names published in a news-
paper.” There may be something in
this.

funnel shape, and in one side is located
4 steam jet nozzle, while in the flue,
behind the nozzl®, is a mixer cousist-
ing of three windwheels turned by
means of the jet of steam ; these wheels
draw in the air and mix it with the
steam prior to passing to the fire.
Last week’s issue of Tne STAR seems

trom alt pares of the county. ‘Many of
| these calls are accompanied by remit-
tances for subscription and also contain
words of cheer and many fine comph-
ments. The people of Somerset county
were never before so thoroughly arous-
ed against arbitrary machine politics
as they are now. “Turn on the light,
we have been fooled and belied long
enough,” is the expression that comes
to us from all over the county.
One of our defeated candidates, and
one by the way who has always called
himself a “stalwart,” has threatened
never to vote another Republican
ticket, because he was defeated by
members of his own party. Come,
come, old man, Republicanism must be
‘made of sterner stuff. We have had
the same thing done unto us more than
once, but we will remain in the party,
just the same. The reason you were
defeated is because a whole lot of your
“stalwart” brethren voted just as you
have voted many times yourself—a
split ticket.
The record for long distance talking
at Bomerset. was: broken on Monday
evening, vhen Mr. W. D. Lichty at Iowa
City, Iowa, called two or three of his
Somerset friends to the phone in the
Bell Company’s office and chatted with
them for a few minutes. The distance
is probably in the neighborhood of 1,000
miles, yet the voice of Mr. Lichty came
from Iowa City to Somerset with as
much clearness and ease as though he
were only three feet away. Judging
from the number of minutes used, the
little diversion cost Mr. Lichty about
$12. —Standard.
It is rumored in railroad circles that
as soon as thedouble track on the Pitts-

is completed, which it is said will be
early in the spring, the: Berlin train is
to run through to Salisbury, several
times a day, thus giving the Salisbury
branch passenger service that will make
connections with passenger trains on
the main line. It is also said that as
soon as the Penmar Coal Company is
ready for coal shipments, there will be
three coal trains plying on the Salis-
bury road, two during the day and one

depot will be built about half way be-
tween here and Grantsville, Md., where
the Penmar Company will build a

Last Chance to Save 25 Cents.
Some of our subscribers who have
taken Tyre 8TAR from the time of its
first issue have not yet paid their sub-
scription. To all such we hereby give
notice that the 30 days in which they
can save 25 cents on the subscription
price will expire on Feb. 27th. After
that date the full price, $1.50, will be

days of grace and save the quarter, for
that amount will’ buy three. loaves of

Railroad Extension to Begin at
Once.
The contract for the extension of the

Mr. Keenan will be here this week and
work will begin at once. The exten-

miles long and will tap the coal owned
by the Penmar Coal Company, whose
mines are now being opened about half
way between Salisbury and Grants-
ville, Md., where a town is to be built.
The Penmar Company is now receiving
bids for the erection of a large number
of houses, which will be pushed to com-
pletion as rapidly as possible. The new
company will operate a large store in
the new town.

It is an actual shame—the way the
county worked poor old Gabe Good last
year. Ike was actually compelled to
put in $1108.88 worth of toil at the court
house. With Kimmel it wasn’t so bad.
He was only forced to labor $1,022.86
worth, and Kretchman—he just had a
picnic. Only $1,019.83 worth of service
was required of him.— Berlin Record.
This conveys a wrong impression.
The County Commissioners did not
present bills to the above amount.
Their bills were as follows: Kimmel,
$995.50 ; Good, $1,036; Kretchman, $952.

The “Standard” C Complimented.
The Scullpaper spends the greater
part of a column this week in trying to
make a point against the Standard, but
instead of accomplishing that purpose
it unconsciously pays the Standard a
high compliment.
The Standard aims to publish only
the truth, and when we find an error,
even in a piece of plate-matter, we cut
it out. Last weck we found an error
devotes much space in telling its read-
ers that we “sawed it out.”
Thanks for the compliment, but we
cannot so compliment the old dust-
kicker. If it had ‘sawed out” some of
the errors in the plate it used last week
from the Quay “literary bureau,” we
might have an opportunity to return
the compliment, but it didn’t. Yet
since we think of it, would the bosslets
dare to use the saw on Boss Quay’s
plate matter? Hardly.—Somerset Stan-
dard.

RODDY BOYS UNMOVED.
| Take the News of Their Sentence
Coolly—Atto:ney Ruppel says
They are Innoeent.,
Johnstown Democrat.
Lawyer \W. H. Ruppel of Somerset, a
member of the firm of Coffroth & Rup-
pel and counsel for John and James
Roddy the convicted murderers,isiuthe
city on legal business. He will be one
of the lawyers who will present to the
board of pardons the application of the
Roddy boys for a commutation of the
death sentence.
Lawyer Ruppel says that when the
Roddys were informed that Gov. Iast-
ings had set the date of their execution
they appeared perfectly reserved and
again declared that if they are hanged,
“There is a general desire on the part
of Johnstowners who are in doubt,”
said a reporter for the Democrat, “that
in the event that the men are hanged,
they should make a confession. Do you
believe they will?” Mr. Ruppel was
asked.
“If John and James Roddy ever con-
fess to the Berkey outrage,” stated Mr.
Ruppel, “they will have changed their
front considerably. They as stoutly as
ever maintain that they are innocent
of the erime.” ;
Have you any reason to believe that
they would keep the facts from you in
the event ef their guilt?”
“Emphatically I do not,” was the re-
ply. "I have every reason to believe
that thay are not the men w ho com-
mitted the outrage.”
“Will the board of pardons be your
last step in behalf of the men?”
“Yes, I believe it will,” was the reply.
Mr. Ruppel’s statements in regard to |
the manner in which the Roddys re-
ceived the news that the date of their
execution had been set by Gov. Hast-
ings might be construed to mean that
they are indifferent as to their fate.
This is not the case. Jobn and James
Roddy are confident that they will not
hang. There are many Johnstowners
who will be greatly surprised if the
men make a confession on the scaffold,
because they are convinced of their in-
nocence.

“Seeking Permission.”
Messrs. Bowman and Rhoads admit,
in “a card,” that there are several er-
rors in the Auditors’ report, which
they have certified as true and correct,
but hold that they are only clerical er-
rors. .
In other words these gentlemen, af-
ter deliberately using one month’s time
at the expense of the county, audited
nearly $20,000.00 out of the county’s
treasury, certified that the audit was
correct, and went home elated over
their splendid piece of work.
But the County Commissioners did
not approve of that sort of auditing and
asked the Court to require these audit-
ors to audit that nearly $20,000.00 back
into the county treasury.
Now these auditors come up smiling,
and “seek permission” to correct these |
Errors,
The truth is that Auditor Bowman
was gunning for the Commissioners
and spent too much time in loading his
blunderbuss. A little “clerical error”
of $20,000.00 against the county was a
small matter in comparison with a good
shot at the Commissioners. He shot,
but O, heavens, how that blunderbuss
did kick! and how quick !—Somerset

to the said Wm. Winters, Esq, county
treasurer, from the said county a bal-
ance of nine thousand and forty-seven
and 56-100 dollars ($9,047.56) and on
settlements of the accounts of Geo. TF.
Kimmel, Gabriel Good and IL. A.
Kretchman, county commissioners of
said county, with the said county, there
is due to the said county from the said
commissioners balances as follows, to-
wit: $67.36} each, and on settlement
of the accounts of H. F, Barnett and S.

pance due Wm. Winters, Esq., Co. treas.,
$9,047.56.” whereas in fact the balance is
$9,997.87, and is due from Wm. Winters,
treasurer, to the county of Somerset.
And the said Geo. ¥. Kimmel, Gabriel
and I. A, Kretechman, county
commissioners; being duly affirmed ac-
