L..Barchus, our banker, went to Pittsburg on business, yesterday. Dr. Brallier, of Berlin, arrived in our town yesterday, on business bent. II. G. Wilhelmi, who had been em- ployed in Uniontown for severel weeks, returned home, last week. . Mr. Peter Dumbauld, of near Somer- set, was in this vicinity, this week, for the purpose of buying horses. Mr. Herman Gardner and his sister, Miss Clara, of Pittsburg, came to Salis- bury, last Sunday, to visit friends and relatives. Dr. L. F. Miller, of Berlin, has been appointed District Grand Chief of the Knights of the Golden Eagle of Somer- set county. Stewart Simpkins and Phineas Christ- ner made a trip to Bear creek, in Gar- rett county, Md., last week, and report a good catch of fine trout. Whoop ’er up for the electric light. Of course thvere will be some kickers, but don’t mind them. Some men can’t help it that they were born kickers. The town council of Bedford has pass- ed an ordinance taxing electric light, telegraph and telephone poles one dol- | lar each year, and the wires fifty cents per mile. A pinic and dance, for the benefit of the Catholic church, will be held in West Salisbury, July 4th. A good time is arranged for and everybody is invited to attend. Always see our inside pages for war news. The inside pages of Tir Star always contain as late and complete | war news as can be found in any week- ly newspaper. Miss Annie Smith, Miss Cora Keim and Messrs. E. J. Egan, Albert Reitz and Abram Livengood have returned from Juniata College, at Huntingdon, Pa. Miss Smith graduated during the term just closed. Last Saturday was a very stormy day, and the wind did considerable damage in some localities. Up at the new town of Pen-Mar the frame work of two new houses was blown down- causing a great loss of work and lum- ber. Mr. S. A. Kendall, of Meyersdale,went to California, Pa., this week, where he was called to act as one of the judges to decide on the debate between two classes of State Normal students. Asa competent and impartial judge, Mr. Kendall was a good man to select. The iron on the Pen-Mar. extension of the Salisbury railroad, with the ex- ception of the switches, will likely all be laid by the end of this week. The gravel train crew are working Sundays and all, getting the road well ballasted and ready for heavy shipments of coal. Miss Lucy Beachy has returned from Elizabeth, N. J., where we understand she had been taking a thorough course in music. . During her absence from home Miss Lucy learned to master the wheel, but she will hardly find wheel- ing as smooth on our streets as in the city. The citizens of Addison and vicinity will celebrate the Fourth of July by raising the stars and stripes.

The citizens of Addison and vicinity will celebrate the Fourth of July by raising the stars and stripes. Several bands will be present, horse races and other amusements will be in progress during the day and a great and glor- ious patriotic time is promised all who attend. Esquire Lichliter and wife, who went west on a visit about a month ago, re- turned on Tuesday. They report hav- ing had a nice time, seeing many old- time friends and relatives. They also report a promising crop outlook in the states they visited—Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska. Those who owe TiE-Strar money will confer a great favor by paying up be- fore the end of the week. The Fourth is coming, you know, and the printers and their families like to celebrate as well as other people. We have been working hard and need our money, so please cash up this week. Aside from the large buildings now being erected in Salisbury, rumor has it that another fine building is to go up yet this summer. It is reported that the Odd Fellows will erect = large building on the Boyer lo:, adjoining the property of Dr. Speicher. The old town is enjoying a healthy growth. A number of Somerset people have forwarded money to Washington for the purchase of the new bonds. The First National Bank has sent a draft for $700 to the secretary of the treasury. It was sent for seven or eight different persons who subscribed for $5,000 each, and represented the first payment of 2 per cent. In an action brought by the Misses Jarbara and Ida Meyers against the Sand Spring Water Company, of Mey- ersdale, for the partial destruction of a water course that furnished power for the Meyersdale grist mill, the viewers on Monday returned a verdict for $1,- 300 in favor of the plaintiffs.—Somerset Standard. Persons who keep chickens and per- mit them to run at large will do well to remember a decision -of the supreme court which says that “fowls of any kind, when beyond the limits of the owner’s property, can be treated as wild game, and shot and killed in any way without being subject to penalty therefor.— Greensburg Argus. If we work on marble, it will perish; if we work upon brass, time will efface it; if we rear temples, they will crum- ble into dust; but if we work upon im- mortal minds,if we imbue them with principles, with the just fear of God and love of our fellowman, we engrave on those tablets something that will brighten to all eternity.—Daniel Web- ster. By an oYersight we omitted the name of Adam 8. Miller, candidate for Poor House Director, when we set up the Republican ticket which appears at the head of our editorial columns. Anoth- er error was made in the set-up by crediting R. E. Meyers to Somerset township instead of Somerset borough. The errors are corrected in this week’s paper. In the latter part of last January Dr. C.J. Hemminger of Somerset applied { day. ‘ent of the Johnstown ‘be found. for a position as Assistant Surgeon in the U. 8B.

A great deal of pavement repairing has been going on in this borough dur- ing the past few weeks. This is some- thing that has long been needed, and a great deal more of it should be done at once. Another step in the right direc- tion is the pavement that the Town Council has ordered to be extended to West Salisbury. The town has long needed this pavement, and our borough “dads” deserve credit for ordering it to be laid. The Pennsylvania Railroad company has ordered the construction 1,500 box cars of 80,000 pounds carrying capacity each. Of this number 500 will be built at the company’s shops at Altoona, 500 by Murray, Dugal & Co. of Milton, and 400 by the Jackson & Woodin Manu- facturing company of Berwick, Pa. These cars will be the largest box cars built for the company. The maximum capacity of such cars has heretofore been 60,000 pounds. Thirty new consolidated freight loco- motives have been ordered during the last ‘week by the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, and the order has been divid- ed as follows: The Baldwin Locomo- tive works, 16 with 21x26 inch cylinders and 5 with 22x28 inch cylinders; the Pittsburg Locomotive works, 10 with 22x28 inch cylinders. The large engines are for use on the mountain divisions. while the others are of ‘the same class that are being used between Cumber- land and Baltimore. Joseph Levy, a Somerset young man who has been studying law for some time, left here yesterday to join one of the companies being recruited for the Tenth regiment,and which will prob- ably form a part of the next expedition to the Philippines. Joe has been very anxious to join the troops being sent to Manila, and his desire has been gratified. He was accompanied to the station, yesterday afternoon, by the Somerset drum corps and a large num- ber of citizens, and given an enthusias- tic send-off —Standard. A Quemahoning township correspond- Tribune is respon- sible for the following: “People of this section complain bitterly of the Government establishing a postoffice at “Critchfield” and giving Pilltown the go by. There are forty families who would get their mail at Pilltown and only two at the imaginary town of “Critchfield”—those of Senator Critch- field and M. A. Zimmerman. There is no justice in such a deal,and it is prob- able the facts will be laid before the postoffice department, for it looks as if somebody’s word had been taken with- out an investigation as to the merits of the two places.” Mr. C.T. Hay, who has always been a public-spirited citizen, and who has done many a favor for this borough, complains bitterly of being compelled to pay too much borough license for concerts, entertainments, balls, etc. that are occasionally given in his opera house. He claims that he is often tax- ed for things going on in the opera house, the likes of which are not taxed at all in other boroughs. If this is the case, it is not right, and the unfairness of it should be abolished. Last Friday night when the citizens desired a pub- lic meeting, Ilay’s opera house was at their disposal, and not a cent was charged for the use of the hall, or the lighting of - it. Such generosity ought to be appreciated, and as Mr. Hay pays a heavy county license for his hall, the borough ought to let him off lightly. We do not think he should be required to pay any license for home entertain- ments, ete.; and very little for small concerts that pay very little at best. Our town ought to be as liberal with Mr. Hay as Mr. Hay is with the town. That would be fair, wouldn’t it? Mr. Ernest O. Kooser, of Somerset, last week wrote to Tue Star, saying: “Are there any good men about Salis- bury who desire to join the volunteer service? company, or part of a company, perhaps could make room for a few, We expect to be attached to the Fifth regiment, made up from adjoining counties and now at Chickamauga.” Af- ter receiving Mr. Kooser’s letter, the editor at once canvassed the town in search of volunteers, but not one could The people here are evi- dently all non-combatants. So far as we are able to learn, Howard Pile, a son of John W. Pile, of Coal Run, is the only man from this vicinity who has yet enlisted in the U. 8. army. Howard joined a Virginia regiment and last week wrote to his father, stating that his regiment would likely be sent to Santiaga, "Cuba, last Friday. Young Pile is about 21 years old and has a wife and child living at Coal Run. He was married only about a year ago,and while his wife and child are dear to him, he thought duty ealled him, and he wanted to be a soldier, as his father was before him. We all hope that af- ter serving his country faithfully he will return home to be welcomed by his family and friends. One Minute Cough Cure, cures. That is what i: was made for. We to-day have a call for a and | berry farm, we note Mr. and Mrs. John Josiah Beachy Dead. Josiah I.Beachy,of Somerset.who was well known in and around Salisbury, and who had many relatives in this vi- cinity, died at his home, last Friday morning. Deceased was 56 years old, was a soldier in the Union army during the Rebellion and lost an arm in bat- tle. He leaves a wife, a son and a daughter to mourn their loss. [funeral was conducted by the R. DP. Cummins Post, G. A. R., last Sunday afternoon. Deceased was the eldest son of the late Samuel Beachy, who used to re- side in Salisbury, but who died in Kan- sas a few years ago. ~~ —_ The editor of the Evans City, Pa., Globe, writes: “OneMinute Cough Cure is rightly named. It curedgmy children after all oth- er remedies failed.” Tt cures coughs, colds and all throat and lung troubles. P.S. Hay, Elk Lick. C. A. Bender & Bro. Grantsville. ——— A Practical Wom. A practical woman remarked the oth- er day that she read the advertisements in a newspaper more closely than any- thing else. “And long ago,” she said, “TI quit buying of those who do not ad- q . vertise. It always seems to me that the merchant who advertises invites me to trade with him, while the one who does not advertise, impresses me with the idea that he doesn’t care enough for my trade to ask for it. Then, too, T have found that the mer- chant who advertises has fresher goods, for the reason that he sells more.” “I think DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve is the finest preparation on the market for piles.” So writes John ¢. Dunn, of Wheel- ing, W. Va. Try it and you will think the same. It also cures eczema and all skin diseases. P.S. Hay, Elk Lick. C. A. Bender & Bro., Grantsville. HE Grantsville, Md. Juxk 28th.—The people of Grantsville held on Saturday, June 25th, a grand “Dewey Day” celebration in honor of the hero of Manila. The old village was gaily decorated, all business suspended, and the day was observed as a general holiday. At 10 a. m. a grand street parade took place in which delegations from Frost- burg, Accident, Elk Lick and Meyers- dale participated. The program was marshalled by Dr. J. H. McGann, with Howard Stanton and Dr. G. C. Keller as assistants. The proeession formed on Main street, in front of the Band hall, and marched through the princi- pal streets, and then to Ilershberger’s grove, where patriotic speeches were delivered by Dr.J.H. McGann and Hon. Wm. R. Getty, followed by patriotic music by the Grantsville band, singing National songs, the usual picnic sports and amusements. A noticeable feature in the parade was the elegant showing made by the Allegany tribe, No. 67, Im- proved Order of Red Men, from Frost- burg. Dancing was indulged in all day and evening, ending with a grand display of fire works. There was to be a flag 20x30 feet flung to the breeze at 7 a. m., but owing to the rain the flag was not raised. The flag will be raised on July 4th, with ap- propriate music and ceremonies. There will also be fire-works at night. The public is cordially invited. Bob Moore, of Lafayette, Ind. says that for constipation he has found DeWitt’s Lit- tle Early Risers to be perfect.

Grantsville, RA — — The Scientific American Navy Sup- pleme The Scientific American, which has al- ways been identified itself very closely with the interests of the Navy, is to be congratulated on the extremely hand- some and valuable “Navy Supplement” which it has lately put before the pub- lic. We think that, if tiée average read- er had been asked beforehand what kind of a work he would prefer upon the Navy, he would have asked for just such an issue as this. Both the illustrations and the read- ing matter are of the straightforward explanatory kind-Which is nec&ssary to put a technical subject clearly before the lay mind. It was a happy thought to preface the work with a chapter up- on the classification of warships and in- cert a few diagrams by way of explana- tion of the subtle differences between cruisers, monitors and battleships; for after digesting this chapter one is pre- pared to follow intelligently the detail- ed descriptions of the various ships which make up the bulk of the issue. One of the best things about this num- external illustration of each ship, but it takes the reader down below decks, and initiates him into the mysteries of the magazines, handling rooms, ammu- rition hoists and motive machinery. The sectional views of the interior of the turrets of the monitors are excep- tionally fine, as are the large wood en- gravings of the engines of the “Massa- chusettes.” The last page of the num- ber contains complete tables of the new Navy, the auxiliary fleet and the various naval guns. A handsome col- ored map of Cuba and the West Indies is furnished with this issue. We extend our congratulations to our contempo- rary on the production of a work which is well conceived and admirably car- ried out. This work is published by Munn & Co., of 381 Broadway, New York, for 25 cents. hea Sick headache, biliousness, constipation and all liver and stomach troubles can be quickly cured by using those famous little pills known as DeWitt’s Little Early Risers.
