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-

It is said that more than 2,000 em-

Company are down with the grip. The
clerks in the relief department have to
work nights to keep up with the appli-

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-

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.

‘‘ 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.

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. Simawiax.

COUNTY CAPITAL NEWS.
SoMERSET, Jan. 17th, 1899.
Very many of the Somerset people
are quite unwell with grip, a number
being confined to their rooms. Capt.
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.

man, has gone and enlisted in the reg-
ular army. He is now at Jefferson

next six months than he ever dreamed

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

master, Jonas M. Cook ; Adjutant, Wm.

G
gone the painful surgical operation at | ® 5 :

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-

There is at the same hospital for
treatment, we are informed, Mrs. TH.

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.

Such are generally the reports from
those who visit schools, but then there

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

is done by persons who when they die
no one will feel a loss, and no one feels

_ WASHINGTON LETTER.
[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.”
