Mrs. Annie Geisman, of Pittsburg, is this week the guest of Mr. and Mrs. N. Brandler. Mr. Ed. Reitz, of Confluence, was in town over Sunday, enjoying life at the old home. Mr. Daniel Barchus has been in very poor health for some time, we are sor- ry to note. You will never find any other pills so prompt and so pleasant as DeWitt’s Little Early Risers. Sold by medicine dealers. Mr. Clarence Sperry, of Wilmerding, Pa., spent last Sunday in Salisbury with his family, who are here visiting friends. Rev. Louis Keim, who is traveling in the interest of Juniata College, is in this vicinity this week in the interests of that institution. Read the new advertisements in this issue. Both of the Frostburg banks have something of interest for our readers, and the proprietor of Salis- bury’s new fruit store also has some- thing to say to the public. Mothers endorse it, children like it, old folks use it. We refer to One Min- ute Cough Cure. It will quickly cure all throat and lung troubles. Sold by medicine dealers. Mr. F. J. Anspach, who has been suf- fering greatly with gout and rhcuma- tism at his Philadelphia home, for some time, is again able to be about, but his recovery is slow. We hope he will soon be entirely well again. Hans Wilhelmi was very lame for a couple of days last week. Some mean people say his mattock handle broke while he was digging fish bait, throw- ing him violently tothe ground, but this not correct. He fell while going down the back steps of his house. The Pine Run blackberry erop prom- ises to be larger this year than ever: They are beginning to ripen now, and no finer blackberries grow anywhere than the wild blackberries of this vicin- ity. There will be thousands of bushels of them in this locality this year. Tonight and Saturday night Nature’s Remedy Company will give the best double shows of the season. Be sure to go both nights, for you will be delight- ed with the performances. In fact you can’t afford to miss all the fun that is to be seen in their tent on the nights mentioned. It will surprise you to experience the benefit obtained by usinz the dainty and famous little pills known as De- Witt’s Little Early Risers. Sold by medicine dealers. Mrs. B. W. Simmons, of Jacksonville, Ill, has been visiting in this vicinity for some time. Mrs. Simmons is a sis- ter of Mr. Samuel Compton. She is better known here as the wife of the late Dr. Stewart, who used to practice medicine in this vicinity, but who died some years ago. Mr. W. S. Easton, who has charge of the Merchants Coal Company’s core drill, and who is now prospecting in Washington county, Pa., came home on Monday for a short visit with his family, returning to his field of labor yester- day. “Scottie’s” numerous friends here were all glad to see him, The quicker you, stop a cough the less danger there will be of fatal lung trouble. One Minute Cough Cure is the only harmless remeday that gives immediate results. You will like it. Sold by medicine dealers. Dr. A. F. Speicher and family were visited during the past week by Mr. Eli McMillen, of Accident, Md., and Mrs. Annie Glotfelty, of Westminster, Md. They were alse visited by Miss Lizzie McMillen, of New Centerville, Pa., and several ladies from Johnstown and Kansas whose names we have not learned. Owing to the inclemency of the weather the W. C. T. U. did not meet at the home of Mrs. Sarah Faulkner as was announced several weeks ago, con- sequently the society will meet at the above named place next Monday even- ing. Let all, and especially the mem- bers that can possibly attend, be present In India, the land of famine, thou- sands die because they cannot obtain food. In America, the land of plenty many suffer and die because they can- not digest the food they eat. Kodol Dyspeysia Cure digests what you eat. It instantly relieves and radically cures all stomach troubles. Sold by medi- cine dealers. Charles Cochrane was thrown from his bicycle, last week and very serious- ly hurt about the head. His one eye is something frightful to behold, but he is able to be about, and it will take a harder bump than that to cure the bi- cycle fever in him. The accident was caused by riding over an abrupt break- er in the road, which caused the front wheel to collapse. Millions will be spent in polities this year. We can’t keep the campaign go- ing without money any more than we can keep the body vigorous without food. Dyspeptics used to starve them- selves. Now Kodol Dyspepsia Cure digests what you eat and allows you to eat all the good food you want. It radi- cally cures stomach troubles. Sold by medicine dealers. Mr. Edward Miller, the Duquesne druggist who was here some time ago ta look up a site for a drug store, has, we are informed, made a deal with M. J. Glotfelty, and will be here about Aug. 15th. Mr. Glotfelty will sell his stock of goods and rent his business room to the druggist. Tne Star feels sure that Mr. Miller will do a fine busi- ness here. Chinese are dangerous enemies, for they are treacherous. That’s why all counterfeits of DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve are dangerous. They look like DeWitt’s, but instead of the all-healing witch hazel they all contain ingredi- ents liable to irritate the skin and cause blood poisoning. For piles, in- juries and skin diseases use the origin- al and genuine DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve. Sold by medicine dealers. Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Kribbs and child, of Forest county, Pa., were visiting Salisbury friends several days during the past week. Mr. Kribbs used to preach for the Lutheran congregation of this place about seven years ago,and while here he made many friends who are always glad to welcome him to our town. He is now engaged in the cloth- ing business. The wolf in the fable put on sheep’s clothing because if he traveled on his own reputation he couldn’t accomplish his purpose. Counterfeiters of De- Witt’s Witch Hazel Salve couldn’t sell their worthless salve on their merits, so they put them in boxes and wrap- pers like DeWitt’s. Look out for them. Take only DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve. It cures piles and all skin diseases. Sold by medicine dealers. Mr. B. FF. Krausse and family are be- ing visited by Mrs. Krausse’s father, Mr. Adam Sipple, of Greenville town- ship. Mr. Sipple is one of the oldest men in the county, his age exceeding 90 years, but his mind is still quite clear, and his eyesight is sufficiently good to enable him to read page after page in his German bible every day, which with him is a favorite pastime. Judge Biggle not only knows a great deal about Horses, but what is more important, he knows how to impart his information in a way that will be un- derstood. One does not have to wade through a mass of undigested, unim- portant matter. Tee Biggle Books are models of clearness and conciseness. The price is 50 cents, by mail; address the publishers, Wilmer Atkinson Co., Philadelphia. E. E. Fair, of Braddock, Pa., was this week the guest of his brothers, William, John, Matthew and Frank. Mr. Fair is a blacksmith, and for a number of years he has been doing a prosperous business at Braddock. Some time ago he was kicked in the face by a horse and seriously injured, but we are glad to note that he has about recovered from his injuries, and his face is dis- figured but little. The Farm Journal is choke full of gumption and has the largest circula- tion of any farm paper in the world. It is good everywhere. We offer it in connection with our paper to advance paying subscribers, that is both papers at the price of Tue Star; our paper one year, and the Farm Journal nearly 5 years (remainder of 1900, and all of 1901, 1902, 1903 and 1904,) both for $1.25. Pay in advance—that’s all. “A woman will yank up the guy ropes of her corset until she almost squeezes her imortal soul out of place,” says an observant cynie, “and put a dead bird on her hat and go strutting around over town, selling tickets for an entertainment to raise money to help send missionaries to some foreign clime for the purpose of teaching civil- ization to the poor heathens, who have been struggling on in the ignorant be- lief that birds were created to sing in- stead of to be worn on a hat.” The Tedrow brothers now have their merry-go-round running full blast every night. They are doing a good business, affording fine amusement for both old and young, and all agree that the Tedrow boys treat their cus- tomers all right. Occasionally Simon Tedrow and the editor mount the wood- en steeds and have a race, and the general opinion is that Roosevelt’s rough riders were never “in it” with them. Simon is a gay old sport, and when he is astride of a fleet horse he is just as young and full of action as he eyer was, We visited the tent show of Nature's Remedy Company, Tuesday night, and we take pleasure in saying that these people give a very nice show in connec- tion with their medicine business. The managers are very genteel and cour- teous people, and there is nothing about the show that could offend any- one. Nature's Remedy Company is a respectable outfit, and they are show- ing every night to large and apprecia- tive audiences. If you know of an item tell us about it. Every week we will tell you what we know. Fvery week we know that you know things we don’t know. And we know that you know that we don’t know it, and still you don’t tell us. Now, if you tell us what you know, then we will tell you what we know and also what you know, and then our readers will know what they know and what we know, and also what we know that you know that you know we know you know.— Windber Journal. Last Saturday the graders on the Salisbury railroad extension quit work- ing for $1.35 per day and struck for $1.50. The advance was promptly paid, and work has resumed. A prominent farmer of this vicinity informs Tue Star that Jennings Brothers, the con- tractors, are the best set of railroad contractors that ever did business in this locality. He says they treat the people of this vicinity right, buying their supplies right here, as far as it is possible to do so. Mr. and Mrs. David Harris, who for several years have been residing on the Eastern shore of Maryland, arrived here one day last week to renew old acquaintances. Mr. Harris owns a fine farm on the Eastern Shore, which he bought with money earned in the mines of this vicinity. Mr. Harris wouldn’t own a fine farm if he had spent the most of his money for beer and whisky as so many other men do. Men whodo not drink intoxicants usually accumu- late money and buy desirable homes. Mr. John H. Yost, of Roanoke, Va., in remitting for a year’s subscription to Tie STAR, takes occasion to remark: “The Roanoke business men all want ‘Billy’ McKinley back this fall. Can’t vou visit us this fall? I was down at the National Bridge a short time ago. It is grand. Come down and we will take in the sights.” Don’t know wheth- er we can come to visit you or not, John, but we expect to aid you in keep- ing McKinley in the White House four years longer. Even some of the Dem- ocrats around here will vote for Me- Kinley, for these times suit them. Last Saturday the Elk Lick school board hired the following corps of teachers for the coming school term: West Salisbury Grammar, Pius Speich- er; West Salisbury No. 2, Aleda Alex- ander; West Salisbury No. 3, Edith Lichliter; Boynton, Elizabeth Stein; Lichty, Wm. Engle ; Lowry, I. J. Engle ; Coal Run Grnmmar, H. G. Lepley; Coal Run Primary, Mary Hay; Pleas- anc Hill, Daniel R. Johnson; D. Hay, Lydia Moser; Mountain view, Walker; Cross Roads, E. J. Egan; Chestnut Spring Grammar, D. H. Bow- man ; Chestnut Spring Primary, Nellie Dom; Peck, E. E. Barclay; Thomas, J. P. Vogel; Sand Flat, Sue Engle; St. Paul, C. E. Butler. Mr. Lew 8. Keim, of Elkins, W. Va,, in remitting for another year’s sub scription in advance, takes occasion to say: “I want to go on your Farm Journal list. With Tne Star and the Farm Journal any old home ought to be happy. We are having very warm weather. In fact it is a hot time. Say, old boy, you cught to come up here and take a look at our country. She’s on the boom. We will have our fair and races early in October, and that would be a good time to come. Will and family expect to visit Salisbury next month. We are all well, and our boys are growing into Republican voters as fast as the wilds of West Virginia will allow. Kindest regards for yourself and all my friends.” Marshall Livengood, whose serious illness Tue Star mentioned last week, was operated on by a Cumberland sur- geon, last Thursday, for appendicitis. The operation was a very successful one and proved that Drs. Lichty and Speicher had correctly diagnosed the case. The appendix was removed, and in it two obstructions were found that closely resemble two small, smooth stones, one about the size of a small pea, and the other about as large as an ordinary bean. The operation was a very delicate one, attended with great danger, but we are glad to say that the patient is reported to be doing nicely, and it is believed that he will surely recover. We hope the excellent prog- ress Marshall is making toward recov- ery will continue until he is once more a thoroughly well man. A farmer near Salisbury has a son who is very hard to get out of bed ev- ery morning. When called, the boy has a habit of answering “yes, sir,” but instead of getting up he goes to sleep again. One morning last week the farmer called the boy and got the usual “yes,sir,” but as usual the boy did not get up. His father then stole quietly up stairs, turned down the covers and administered a lively spanking to the sleeper. After having nearly worn out his hand, he was greatly chagrined to learn that he had made a grievous mis- take. He had entered the wrong room and spanked a pretty young school- ma’am who had put up at his house for the night, with the intention of apply- ing for the school in that neighborhood, which was to be let the next day. The farmer at once went out behind the barn to study out a suitable apology to offer the girl, but the girl will always believe that the mistake was inten- tional. Everybody who is anybody, and that means all the nice people, are interested in the poster decorative idea. It hasso many forms that it would be almost an endless task to attempt a list, but the Great Philadelphia Sunday Press has taken hold of one possibility that is cer- tain to get everybody in this section talking. With every copy of the Phila- delphia Press of next Sunday (August 5) will be given free a beautiful picture size 20x28 inches entitled “The Maids of Fair Japan.” It is by Arter, and that guarantees its quality. As a pie- ture it is well worthy of framing, but if you wish to be in the swim you will take a pair of scissors, cut around the lines of the girl’s faces and the flowers, and then paste the picture ona dark background of any material. Try it and you will have the most striking poster effect of the year. It will be necessary to make certain early this week that you can get next Sunday’s Press, because the demand is certain to be tremendous and the supply will be limited. Teachers’ wages in Elk Lick town- ship this year range from $28 to $38 per month, and we are told that there are but few townships in the county that pay as much as this. God save the com- monwealth when school boards fix such beggarly wages for teachers. Ver- ily,it is no wonder that so many in- competent upstarts are hired forteach- ers, for few young men and women of brains and ability are going to sacrifice some of the best years of their lives at teaching school for such niggardlv wages. What is $38 per month for a good, competent teacher? It is praec- tically nothing. A Dago with a grind- ing organ and a monkey can make more money than that, and even an umbrella repairer can make more at his vocation. The competent teachers ought all to go on a strike, and the in- competent ones ought to get down to common manual labor, the only thing they were ever intended for. No school teacher in all this great republic should teach school for less than $40 per month, and the very best ones should receive from $75 to $100 per month. Last week Tie Star sent out a great many statements to persons indebted to us for subscription to this paper. Many have responded promptly and many have not. Now, gentlemen, we expect every one of you to pay at least a portion of what you owe us. We have been very patient with you and did not ask you for a cent duringstrikes and other periods of depression during the past two years, but now we expect you, one and all, to favor us with some cash. Times are gocd now, and we do not believe that there is a single one among you that cannot pay at least a portion of what you owe us. Infact we know that you can all pay usin part if not in full, and if you are men of hon- or, as we believe you are, for that’s why we trusted you, there will be no unnecessary delay on your part. Deal with others as you would like to have others deal with you, and you will then do the best you can, and that’s all we ask. Now cash up, gentlemen, for it isn’t right for you to be carrying money around that belongs to Tue Star. We are only asking for our own, without interest. Bank Pays 3 per cent. Interest. The First National Bank of Frost- burg, Maryland, which is a designated Depository of the United States Govern- ment, pays three (8) per cent. interest on money left with them for deposit. tf, Salisbury Teachers. The school board met last Friday evening and hired the following named corps of teachers: Principal, V. R. Saylor; assistants, Carrie Johnston, Annie Smith, Miss Harding, Jenet Me- Kinley and Myra Lichliter. The teachers’ wages will be the same as last year—from $32 to $60 per month. — a Walked Out of the Borough to Fight. One day last week Al Swartswelder and George Walker walked outside of the borough limits to do battle with each other, each claiming to be the bet- ter man. The battle was short and de- cisive, Walker coming out second best. For lack of space we are unable to re- port this fight by rounds or use illus- trations. Therefore, for further par- ticulars our sporting readers will have to send for the National Police Gazette, wherein all the battles of the great pugilists of the world are recorded in full detail. President McKinley as an Editor. One of the department heads at Washington recently wrote an article for The Ladies’ Home Journal which required the President’s approval for publication. The President asked that the article be given to him. At the end of a week the manuscript came back edited in a way which completely won editorial admiration. The Presi- dent was apparently thoroughly con- versant with all the marks which edi- tors use in making corrections. Every erasure and interlineation had its prop- er sign, and each was in the President’s own handw rising, Niverton and Vicinity. July 30th.—The last night’s rain has moistened to such an extent that the farmers can plow with perfect ease. The schools of Elk Lick township will open September 10th. E. J. Egan, who taught a very successful term at Cross Roads, last winter, has succeeded in getting the same school again. M. M. Beachy thresed his wheat last week ; his average yield was 29 bushels per acre. The once seemingly hopeful chance for the Quayites has become despar- ingly hopeless. Koontz and Kendall are the winners, and we trust that the “Old Oleo Bolting Gang” is beginning to realize the foolishness of its folly. Since the political death of old Matt Quay, the disastrous defeat of the bolt- ers in general, especiall the efforts of the distinguished deceivers, “Timmie” and “Scottie,” and even the journalistic doom of some of the machine’s blinded followers, including the Jack—com- biner known as Quay II, the well thinking people of the country are con- vinced that ignorance and deception no longer predominate. The grading of the new railroad is progressing rapidly. W. K. Niver & Co. are erecting a large ice house. Let us hear from the Sand Flat scribe occasionally. Par axp TEp. SE = Tuere were 59,142 tons of lead smelt- ed from the ore in Idaho in 1898, as compared with 31,638 tons in 1895. Miners should remember that General Prosperity has given them more work, and they have no reason to desert him for Boss Bryan. EE Ree Ture New York World (Dem.) asks if we are to have a more distinctively American financial system, why not also an American yardstick, an Ameri- can gallon, or an American pound weight—especially when selling the Tammany trust’s ice? Jolly Picnic Party. Last Saturday a jolly party of picnie- ers set out from Salisbury to have a good time, and if the editor is a judge, it was a good time they had. The par- ty consisted of Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Johns and daughter, Mr. Albert Lowry and family, Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Kann and son, Mrs. S. 8. Koontz and two daughters, Mrs. Annie Kretchman, Mrs. Elizabeth Brown, Mrs. M. Welfley,Miss Carrie Lowry, Mr. Oscar Wagner, Mr. Wm. Lowry and the editor of this paper. The party proceeded to the home of Mr. Urias McKenzie and family, who reside in a picturesque and pleasant nook in Garrett county, Md., about one mile beyond the Blue Jay lumber mills. It is an ideal spot for a picnic, and Mr. McKenzie and family are ideal people to entertain a picnic party. They treat- ed their guests handsomely, and all agree that it was a very pleasant ou!- ing. The day was spent in social converse, feasting and merry-making. Dinner and supper were spread under the thick branches of a few sugar trees not far from the house, and such an abund- ance of good eating and drinking as was here spread out could hardly be excelled. Did we enjoy it? Well, we just guess we did. A better time we are not look- ing for, and better people to visit than Mr. McKenzie and family do not exist. We can only add that the day was one of those bright spots in our lifetime that we will look back to with pleasant recollections during the remainder of our days. All went home feeling that they had a rare good time, and all were loud in their praise of the way they were entertained. Forty-Nine Feet of Tape Worm Ex- pelled from Fred B. Emerick. The people of Salisbury, Pa., (Elk Lick P. 0.) and vicinity, are loud in their praise and congratulations over the miraculous cures accomplished by the medicines sold by Nature’s Remedy Company. This company has been in Salisbury for a week or more, and will remain here for the balance of this week. Many who have daily walked our streets, suffering with long standing diseases, such as stomach trouble, rheu- matism, dyspepsia, catarrh, nervous- ness, and heart disease, are now enjoy- ing the greatest earthly blessing, good health, since using the medicines sold by this company. Following you will find a strong testimonial from one of the many who have been cured: Erk Lick, Pa., July 28, 1900. Narure’s Remepy Company :(—This is to certify that I have used your medi- cines with the most gratifying results, and I wish to recommend them to all who are in need of medical aid. Ihave found the medicines to be all that are claimed for them. I have suffered with stomach trouble for a long time, and have used many kinds of medicine without receiving any benefit until I used the medicines made by Nature’s Remedy Company, of Philadelphia, Pa., which cured me by expelling a tape worm complete, head and body, that measured 49 feet six inches in length. I can cheerfully recommend your medicines and tape worm remedy to be the best I ever used, as they cure when all others fail. Respectfully Yours, Frep B. EMERICK. (13 years old.) “Fewest Failures for Eighteen Years” is the headline on Bradstreets’ record for the first half of this year. That non-partisan business journal says: “The number of failures reported for the first six months of the calendar year 1900 is the smallest noted for 18 years past. Compared with a year ago, the falling off in number is 3.3 per cent, while compared with 1898 the de- crease is 25 per cent, and even larger decreases are noted when comparisons are made with the first half of the years 1897 and 1896. This year, in fact, for the first time in eighteen years, the six months’ failures have fallen below 5,000 in number.” Drossever of foatih. Runs so light. So easy to learn. Sews so fast.
