Prostburg is about to have an ice manufacturing plant. La grippe prevails to an alarming ex- ‘tent in Somerset and Rockwood. Mrs. Jacob Glotfelty is seriously ill, being badly afflicted with dropsy. Mrs. 8. C. Keim went to Huntingdon, Pa., Monday morning, to attend a Bible -conference. Mrs. John Hawkins, of Frostburg, eloped with a medicine fakir,on Christ- mas eve, says the Lonaconing Review. Why is an old maid like the deputies employed hy the Merchants Coal Com- pany? Because she likes to have arms around her. The Baltimore & Ohio will rebuild fifty-one bridges, this year, between Benwood, W. Va.,, and Chicagos at a «cost of about $300,000. Mr. Charles 8. Beal, a driver employ- «ed at Tub Mill mines, had one of his fingers so badly smashed, a few days ago, as-to necessitate amputation. Mr. Charles Getty,formerly of Grants- ville, but now a citizen of Frostburg, is «exceedingly happy. His good wife re- cently presented him a pair of healthy .boy babies. : Married, at the Brethren parsonage, Meyersdale, Jan. 18th, 1899, by Rev. J. H. Knepper, Mr. Mahlon W. Werner of Meyersdale, and Miss Ada Miller, of Summit Mills, Pa. Last Wednesday night a smoke house ‘belonging to Henry Bodes. near Keim post-office, was destroyed by fire, to- .gether with a goodly supply of meat ‘which was being cured. Mr. Samuel M. Saylor recently sold ihis fine farm near’Meyersdale to Ehlen Bros., of Baltim ore, for a consideration -of $12,409. The purchasers will not get jpossession until April lst, 1902. THE STAR’s job printing department ‘is enjoying a boom. This week we are filling a great many orders, among which is included a nice order from a business man in Johnstown, Pa. Mr. Wm. H. Speicher, (*Rispah”) the entertaining Stoystown correspondent, sof the Somerset Standard, made a busi- ness trip to Salisbury, yesterday, and ‘was a very welcome caller at THE STAR «office. The business men of Irostburg are talking of organizing a board of trade. Every enterprising town should have an organization of that kind, and when we speak of enterprising towns we in- «clude Salisbury. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Leupert are the proud parents of a brand new boy. Henry says the youngster is evidently «cut out for a dairyman or a musician, as he puts in most of his time at sing- ing and milking. : Miss Eva Livengood returned from Roanoke, Va., recently, where she grad- uated in type-writing and stenography, at the Roanoke business college. Miss Livengood is a young lady of fine abili- ty and is a credit to herself, to her par- «nts and the comunity. Owing to the inclement weather of last Friday and Saturday, Tue Stan was unable to move into its new quar- ters. If the weather is favorable and our job printing trade will parmit it, we will try to move as soon as this issue is printed and mailed. Citizens of Allegany county, who re- side along the county line between this county and Garrett,and who were made residents of Garrett by the recent sur- vey, have protested against the transfer and will resort to legal proceedings in order to remain residents of Allegany. —Lonaconing Review. AlTthe docfors in Somerset county, together with ther wives and sweet- hearts, were invited to participate in a banquet for the medical fraternity, at the Markleton Sanitarium, on Tuesday last. No doubt many of them took ad- vantage of the occasion and had a gen- eral good time. Samuel Mossholder, of Meyersdale | preaching on while at” Niverton, on Monday last, | Dr. Mackey. ~ where he had marched with the strik- ing miners and their many sympathiz- ers, had his foot caught by the wheel of a wagon, which passed over his leg and broke it. This is bad luck for Mr. Moss- holder, and we sympathize with him. Mr. Harry 8S. Kifer, late in the em- ploy of Chas. H. Fisher, of Somerset, was in town yesterday. Mr. Kifer is now in the employ of Love, Sunshine & Co., wholesale grocers, of- Johnstown, Pa., and he reports excellent success in his new position. Mr. Kifer represents a first-class house, and he is a first- class salesman, as well as a very genial gentleman. The miners of this region owe a big debt of gratitude to Mr. t. T. Hay. With his usual courtesy and kindness he has tendered the miners the free use of his fine opera house during the strike, with full and free privilege to use the same for public meetings or anything else that may be of benefit or use to the strikers during the present crisis. The Co-operative Mutu:l Fire Insur- ance Co., on Jan. 11th, 1899, elected the following officers: President, W. H. Ruppel; Vice President, C. A. Floto; Secretary, Jacob J. Zorn; Treasurer, Fred Groff ; Directors, W. H. Kuppel, H. I. Sipe, Hon. Jeremiah Maurer, Aar- rison Snyder, J. B. Davis, G. G. Groff. E. D. Leonard, J. G. Gardill, C. A. Floto, I. C. Boyer and Josiah Specht. We sincerely thank those of our friends who have been renewing their subscriptions and paying in advance. We also thank the numerous new sub- scribers who have lately been adding their names to our list. Those who are in arrears for subscription will please pay up as rapidly as possible, as we have some heavy bills to meet by I'eb. 1st, and we will need all the money we can get. A young fellow named George loved a girl, but kept putting off asking her to marry him until a rival stepped in, ask- ed and was accepted. After two years the husband died. Meeting the widow at her home as she returned from. the funeral, George said: “Henrrietta, 1 have always loved you. I waited too long and lost you. Will you be my wife?’ “Oh, George,” she said, “you have waited too long again. The un- dertaker asked me at the grave.”—Ex. It is said that more than 2,000 em- ployes of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company are down with the grip. The clerks in the relief department have to work nights to keep up with the appli- cations made for relief. It is said that 3,000 members are drawing relief funds. Two-thirds of these are estimated to be suffering from the grip. There are about 45,000 members of the relief de- partment in Altoona and fully 600 men are suffering with the prevailing dis- ease. ; Our old friend Mr. Alfred Wagner has been granted an increase of pen- sion of $2.00 per month, with three years back pay at that rate. We con- gratulate Mr. Wagner on his good for- tune, but he should have been granted a larger increase. He was a good sol- dier, saw ‘long, hard service and was wounded in battle. Yet, with all this, he receives but $10 per month pension, which is less than is paid to lots of Sunday soldiers, who served but three "months, never smelled gun-powder and were never wounded or injured in the service. : Rev. E. 8. Hassler, of Keim, in writ- ing for extra copies of last week’s Star, took occasion to remark: “Your ar- ticle on the strike is just the thing.” In connection herewith we wish to say to the many persons who are writing for copies of last week’s issue, that we sold all the extra copies we had in about 15 minutes. Had we printed 200 extra copies more, we could have sold all of them at 5 cents per copy, in a very short time. Calls for extra copies are coming froin far and near, but we are sorry to say that we have no more papers of last week’s issue to supply. Over at Frostburg, Md., there is much trouble between the large and poorly printed paper called the Forum, and the small and neatly printed paper call: ed the Gleaner. Henry F. Cook, the publisher of the Gleaner, accuses the Forum of borrowing and failing to re- turn some of his material, and the Forum comes back at its competitor in this wise: “Somebody seems to have borrowed something from—Henry F. Cook’s printery, Henry F. Print’s cook- ery, or Printer F. Cook’s hennery. Now, we don’t know whether it is the paste from the printery, the pastry from the cookery, or the nest from the bhennery, eggs-actly.” Tne Star would suggest that Editor J. B. Oder, of the Journal, Frostburg’s only exclusively great vaper, render a decision in the case by bending the two scrapping edi- tors across his knee and gently caress- ing them with a barrel stave. ————— pf. S—————— La Grippe is again epidemic. Every pre- caution should be taken to avoid it. Its specific cure is One minute Cough Cure. A. J.

The general topics of the day are fully discussed. Short recesses are taken to munch de- fective apples, smoke tobies and look over newspaper headings for prize fights and Quay reports. The club pays no rent and is furnish- ed with coal and free electric light. The seating consists of a coal box, shoe and soap boxes and a few chairs which are always filled by members present. The club usually adjourns for dinner. It is then the proprietor of the estab- lishment has a chance to brush up a little. The membership has fallen off a lit- tle, on account of the seating not be- ing upholstered. No member is allowed to bet on the next potato crop. VOLUNTEER.

Hay, Elk Lick, Pa. an = ‘‘ The Star ’’ Demands Protection. It can be proven that Merchants Coal has threatened to do personal violence to the editor of Tne Star. Now, this being the case, why should the editor not be entitled to protection from the sheriff and a posse of armed deputies, the same as is furnished to the Mer- chants Coal Company on the same grounds? But Tie Star is not as easily frightened as the Merchants people pretend to be, and we have not decided to ask for the sheriff and a lot of armed thugs. The editor will act as sheriff in this case himself, and as for depu- ties, a few old grandmothers armed with knitting needles will answer the purpose as well as the windbags em- ployed as deputies at the said coal company’s mines. The smallest things may exert the great- est influence. De Witt’s Little Early Risers are unequaled for overcoming econstipa- tion and liver troubles. Small pill, best pill, safe pill. P. 8S. Hay, Elk Lick, Pa. i hg An Ex-Employe of W. K. Niver & Co. Talks. WEesT Marierry, O., Jan. 16, 1899. Eprror Star:—I see by Tne Star that the strike in the Elk Lick region is stil.in progress. Having worked in that region, and at mining, I fully understand the position that the men are in. Their cause is a just one and I hope to see them win. As far as the machines are concern- ed, I never could see that they lessen the work of the miner. If anything, they make more labor and less pay, and I think if the companies that have them in use had it to do over, they would leave them out. Most of the people in and about Sal- isbury are acquainted with the writer. I came to Elk Lick in January, 1898, and opened the new mine called Pen- Mar, but Iatercalled Niverton. I had charge of the work of building the tip- ple and opening the mine, and I was in- structed by the superintendent not to one of the | Company’s deputies | hire a foreigner, as not one of them! would get to stick his head into that | mine. But I guess it has turned out the other way, and it is not likely that you will now find many English-speak- ing people at work there. But such is life. I will close, hoping the miners will win the day, and wishing them every success, I remain, Respectfully, W. W.

Kooser, who has been having quite a tussle with fever contracted in the Sunny South, while in service, is round- ing up with an attack of grip. The captain has certainly had a rough time of it. Democrat, another victim of Southern camp hospitalities, has been taken to the -hospital in Johnstown. Although not considered dangerously ill, he has, it is stated, been advised to take a trip of two or three months to the south- west as soon as his condition has im- proved sufficiently to enable him to travel. On April 1st the Somerset post-office will be removed to th& rooms now oc- cupied by C. H. Fisher's extensive book st@re. Mr. Fisher removing his stock to rooms in the Vannear ho- tel. This will give more room for the post-office and more room for Mr. Fish- er. Both are needed. There is no better indication of the prosperity of a town than the want of business places. That is what is want- ed in Somerset, just now. Business rooms are wanted, but none are to be had at any price. Pernard Benford, n late company I man, has gone and enlisted in the reg- ular army. He is now at Jefferson Barracks, near St. Louis. know more atout service within the next six months than he ever dreamed of. The Somerset County National Bank last week declared its annual dividend to its stock-holders, of six per cent. and placed $7,000 to the reserve fund. Tt is said that there is not a share of eith- er of our banks that can be bought to- day at double the original cost, yet these banks have been in business only about 9 years. How is that? There is a- rumor afloat that in the near future a railroad will be construct- ed from Ligonier to Somerset. Such a road, if built, would go through im- mense timber belts and valuable min- eral lands would be developed in the Laurel Hill region. On last Friday evening R. P. Cum- mins Post, No. 210, G. A. R., installed the following officers for the ensuing year: Commander. A. H. Huston; Sr. Vice Commander, H. F. Barnett; Jr. Vice Commander, John C. Pile; Chap- lain, Rev. D. P. K. Lavan; Quarter- master, Jonas M. Cook ; Adjutant, Wm. M. Schrock ; Surgeon, Dr. J. M. Louth- er; Officer of the Day, WW. A. Barnhart; Officer of the Guard, John Peid. Mrs. Pile, wife of the late ex-Sheriff Teo. W. Pile, of this place, has under- G gone the painful surgical operation at | ® 5 : | charge of the fight in the absence of | one of the Pittsburg hospitals, of hav- ing a cancerous growth of the breast removed. The friends have been in- formed that the operation was entirely successful and that the patient is do- ing as well as could be expected." There is at the same hospital for treatment, we are informed, Mrs. TH. H. Mason. Mrs. Mason will be well re- membered by many citizens of this town Amanda Weimer. She was born and raised in this town, and was wedded to H. H. Mason, formerly of Milford township, but for some years a citizen of (Colorado, where he was elec- ted clerk of the court, in one of the new counties of that state, but died about a year ago, and before the expir- ation of his term of office. rE pe SF as Horrible agony is caused by Piles, Burns and Skin Diseases.

John Maust, who was confined to the house by an attack of rheumatism, is again at school. Joseph Johnson is driving team for A. D. Shoemaker. Joe is an expert driver and handles a rawhide with as much dexterity as his employer. We understand that rawhide has raised 25 per cent. in price. James Maust is laid up with an at- tack of la grippe. We are informed that the Thomas school had the honor of welcoming twenty-four visits during the past three weeks, and ail speak well of the school. Such are generally the reports from those who visit schools, but then there are those who can best be described as chronic grumblers, who never visit a school, consequently know nothing about the work, and yet are the first to set up a howl. They condemn the teacher and threaten to “lick” him for reporting the absence of their children to the truant officer, and they curse the directors for enforcing the law. This is done by persons who when they die no one will feel a loss, and no one feels a gain while they live. Richard Thomas, who had the mis- fortune of getting one of his toes smashed by a lump of coal, while work- ing in R. M. Beachy’s mine, is again at work. The retaliation of the ice mysteries spoken of Lije and Louie was hailed with general delight, and we believe that both scenes were tokens foretell- ing future events, which will probably be fulfilled in 1900. “ Republican?” solved both mysteries and may give in- terpretation thereof, some time.

[From our Regular Corréspondent.] Wasmixarox, Jan. 18, 1809. Senator Davis, this week, favorably reported the treaty of peace from the committee on Forejgn Regulations, and will push it toa vote at the earliest possible time. It is now admitted even by those who oppose the treaty that it will be ratified. Senator Foraker took up in detail the arguments advanced by Senators Hoar and Mason against the constitutional right of the United States to acquire territory and easily demolished them all. There has been much talk in the Sen- ate about the acquisition of the Philip- pires making this government a des- government is not a despotism is found in the fact that senators who have of- fered resolution such as that of Allen, of Nebraska, that any aggressive action of the United States against the Filipi- nos would be exceeding the constitu- tional authority of the government ,and that of Bacon, of Georgina, for the ree- ognition of the independence of the so- called Filipino republic—both closely bordering on treason—are still at large, with the privileges of continuing such talk. This sort of talk is adding to the danger of trouble, not only with the Filipinos, but with the nation that is secretly advising and aididg them. Representative Tawney. of Minn., is credited with having headed off a scheme, engineered by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the Canadian Premier, his Canadian . colleagues on the Anglo- American Commission, and the Ameri- cans who favor reducing the tariff on lumber from $2 a thousand feet to $1, to get the Anglo-American Commis- | sion, again in session at Washington, to provide fcr the reduction as a part of the reciprocity clause of the treaty the Commission hopes to negotiate. The tip was given the Canadian lumbermen and the Americans whose interests are identical to gather in Washington. Representative Tawney, who is one of Mr. Dingley’s. right hand men, took his sick leader, the moment he learned | what the other side was trying to do. The result was that when the Cana- dians and lower-duty Americans got to Washington, instead of having every- thing their own way, as they expected, | they found themselves confronted by a | delegation of the ablest lumbermen in | the couritry, who had been invited to | Washington by Mr. Tawney to assist | him in fighting for the retention of the | present duty on lumber. It looks as though the anti-expansion firm of Bryan & Carnegie was about to | dissolve, on account of disagreement between the partners, Mr. Bryan know- ing that the question of expansion is | not involved in the treaty of peace and | that our national honor is, has advoeat- ed the prompt ratification of the treaty by the Senate. Mr. Carnegie,.who has been ranting around Washington all the week, has been trying, by wire, to get Mr. Bryan to come to his assist- ance by turning a somersault and ad- vising democratic Senators to vote against the treaty, and Bryan has re- fused. Mr. Carnegie is using some queer arguments for an honest man to bring to bear upon honest senators. He admits in effect that the anti-expan- sionisfs cannot hope to secure a major- ity in Congress, and advocates that all. their strength be concentrated in an effort to secure votes enough to reject the treaty. The following language used by him in a published interview was an acknowledgement that he isen- gaged in trying to accomplish some- thing in the dark that he knows could not be done in the light of day: “Here- after we will not enjoy the advantage over our opponents that we now do, having then to meet them in the open field.” Executor’s Notice.
