Gr, Wilhelmi are re- the arrival of a fine little Success to the 20th century Persons who ean not take ordinary pills find it a pleasure to take DeWitt’s Little Early Risers. They are the best little liver pills ever made. Miller & Shaler. Barchus & Livengood’s store room presents a very neat and attractive ap- pearance since it has been repainted and generally overhauled. Like bad dollars, all counterfeits of DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve are worth- less. The original quickly cures piles, sores and all skin diseases. Miller & Shaler. Soon the annual scramble for houses will begin, and the trouble that con- fronts Salisbury renters is the fact that there are not near enough houses to supply the demand. Pneumonia follows la gripge, but never follows the use of Ioley’s Honey and Tar, the great throat and lung remedy. Take no substitute. Miller & Shaler. Barchus & Livengood have sold 33 trunks since the 1st of last September. They keep in stock a good line of trunks and grips at their clothing store, and their prices are very reasonable. Millions of people are familiar with DeWitt’s Little Early Risers, and those who use them find them to be famous little liver pills. Never gripe. Miller & Shaler. Note the new advertisements of Dersch & Ringler, the Maust Lumber Company and II. C. White, the Cham- bersburg tailor. All of these people are “0. K.” to do business with. Fugene J. Hall, the poet and publish- er, says that one dose of I'oley’s Honey and Tar restored his voice when hoarse- ness threatened to prevent his lecture at Central Music Hall, Chicago. Noth- ing else as good. Miller & Shaler John Morton is a veritable Moses when it comes to leading the Children | of Israel through the wilderness of | Greenville township. Some of his par- ty also accuse him of being a Jonah. There is always danger in using counterfeits of DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve. The original is a safe and cer- tain cure for piles. It is a soothing and healing salve for sores and all skin diseases. Miller & Shaler. Mr. I. L. Milliron, of Rockwood, was in Salisbury several during the past week visiting his many old-time friends.

Forest, of Chippewa Falls; W “and spent hundreds of dollars in trying to get it healed. Two boxes of Banner Salve entirely cured it.” No other salve so healing. Miller & Shaler. Roscoe Welfley, the genial and popu- lar clerk of the Barchus & Livengood store, is having a hard tussle with la grippe, this week. Lots of other peo- ple of the town are having the same kind of experience. Reports show a greatly increased death rate from throat and lung trou- bles, due to the prevalence of croup, pneumonia and gri pe. We advise the use of One Sinite Cough Cure in all of these ditliculties. It is the only harmless remedy that gives immediate results. Children like it. Miller & Shaler. No better coal is shipped out of this region than that shipped by Operator John Meager, and we know that no handsomer shipping cards are used in the region than those we printed for Mr. Meager this week. For the weakness and prostration following grippe there is nothing so prompt and effective as One Minute Cough Cure. This preparation is high ly endorsed as an unfailing remedy for all throat and lung troutles and its early use prevents consumption. It was made to cure quickly. Miller & !

Beals. At a meeting of the State Camp, Modern Woodman of America, held in Harrisburg, recently, A. I. G. Hay, Esq., of Somerset, was elected a dele- gate to the Head Camp, which meets in St. Paul, Minn. in June. These Somerset county people have died recently: Urias Hochstetler, in Greenville township, aged 58 years; Simon Bauman, in Northampton town- ship, aged 70 years; James Miller, in Black township, aged about 60 years. We are very sorry to announce that a bright little 3-year-old son of our neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. C. A.

Word from Meyersdale says that Black & Hoblitzell, of that place, and John Fulton, of Johnstown, have sold three thousand acres of coal in Addi- son and Upper Turkeyfoot townships to Greensburg and eastern capitalists, who will soon commence developin, the same. Robert R. Watts, of Salem, Mo.. writes: —"*1 have been troubled with kidney disease for the last five years and have doctored with all the leading physicians and have tried all remedies suggested without any relief.

A tribe of the Improved Order of Red Men will be instituted in Meyers- dale, next Saturday evening. The ini tiating team of Quemahoning Tribe. No. 401, of Salisbury, will take an ac tive part in the institution of the new tribe. Brother Hl. H. Engle will have charge of the work. Several days ago Mr. David Durst had to kill his dog, the animal having shown all signs of being mad. After the dog had bitten a couple of eats and snapping at everything coming in his way, David thought it the proper thing to kill the animal and take nc chances. le acted wisely. Mr. J. W. Patterson, night police at Nashua, Ia, says: “In January I had a very bad cold on my lungs, and used half dozen different cough medicine: and perscriptions from two doctors, out grew worse all the time. I finally bought a bottle of Foley’s Honey and Tar and after using two-thirds ‘of it, I was entirely cured.

It will be bered that some time ago a rig belong- ing to him went he claimed that there was an obstruct ion in the road at which the team took fright. over “ITuntsrick,” and We are extremely sorry to announce that Mr. M. C. Lowry, son of Esquire Samuel Lowry, is quite ill. One lung is badly affected, and he is believed to have consumption. We still hope that the trouble will not prove to be con- sumption, but the outlook is not very favorable, which is very unwelcome news to Mr. Lowry’s many friends. A powerful engine cannot run with a weak boiler, and we can’t keep up the strain of an active life with a weak stomach ; neither can we stop the hu- man machine to make repairs. If the stomach cannot digest enough food to keep the body strong, such a prepara- tion as Kodol Dyspepsia Cure should be used. It digests what you cat and it simply can’t help but do you good. Miller & Shaler. Another drill, the fifth, arrived this week and was set to boring on the 8. W. Ilay lower farm, near the Berlin- Garrett road. The Anderson drill, on the Johnson farm east of town, was moved to the Alexander Musger farm north of town for new operations, and the Johanesen drill, at Pugh, was mov- ed to a new location about a mile west of Brotherton, on the Samuel Moshold- er farm. Another set of engineers ar- rived this week and are pushing the work of taking levels as fast as the rough weather will permit.—ZDerlin Ree- ord. “1 hobbled into Mr. Blackburn’s drug store one evening,” says Wesley Nelson of Hamilton, Ga., “and he asked me to try Chamberlain's Pain Balm for rheu- matism with which I had suffered for a long time.

Ile said: “Well, if Chamberlain’s Pain Balm does not help you, you need not pay for it.” I took a bottle of it home and used it according to the directions, and in one week 1 was cured, and have not since been troubled with rheuma- tism.” Sold by Miller & Shaler. 2-28 the old pair of over the Mey- a great deal of of Mugwumps elected to office However, It seems to afford drawers that presides ersdale Commercial satisfaction that a lot and Democrats were in this borough, last the old pair of drawers doesn’t say a word about the defeat of its two pets, Gabe Lichty and Squire Floto, in Mey- ersdale.

Deputy Revenue Collector Dickson, it is tated, is “hot on the trial” of some farmers aocnsed of “moonshiring” in mountains near Trent, Somerset coun- ty. It is said that a young man whose attentions to the daughter of one of the mooushiners were forcibly stopped, in revenge gave Dickson the facts now being utilized in raids. A Somerset newspaper, whose editor may speak by the card, says: “Those engaged in the manufacture of the illicit article have rarely made more than enough to sup- ply the demands of the neighborhood usually exchanging whisky for grain and household nece There is talk of building a trolley line from Rockwood to IHooversville, but the chances are that it will end in sities. talk, for the reason that such a road would hardly pay between the two towns mentioned. However, we be- lieve the time has come when an elec- tric road between Salisbury and Mey- ersdale would pay, and pay well, too. Meyersdale has over 3,000 people, and the surrounding country is thickly populated. At this end of the line there would also be about 3,000 people to draw patronage from, as and its immediate yieinity have easily Salisbury that many people. Furthermore, the population act each end and all through the Elk Lick coal region is increasing by rapid strides.” The elec’ric road is sure to come, and the business men of Salisbury and Meyersdale should do all in their power to hasten it. We need such a road, and now is the time to act. What wold you do if taken with colic or cholera morbus when your physician is away from home and the drug stores are closed? After one such emergency you will always keep Chamberlains’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy in your home; but why wait until the horse is stolen before you lock the sta- ble?

He told them that with faith enough they could fly. A good sister of the good man constructed a pair of wings, and after attaching them to her shoulders, jump- ed from a second-story window to take an acrial voyage. The result was a twenty-foot fall to the ground, and both arms were broken. The preacher rushed to her assistance and tenderly picked her up, remarking, “Susan, you have the right faith, but the wrong flop.” Mr. Eli Folk, one of the many good fellows over at the village of St. Paul, handed us a couple of dollars on sub- scription, Monday last, remarking as he did so that Tur Star is an all right paper, but that he thinks it is a little roo rough onthe Democrats sometimes. However, he likes the paper becaus speaks its sentiments, and he admits that its sentiments are generally on the right side. But politically he thinks we are all wrong, and that’s just what we think of a whole lot of zood fellows over at St. Paul—they are all right, only their poilities shoald be Republican, But it’s a free country, isn’t it, Eli? At a meeting of the Democratic mem- bers of the Somerset County Bar As- sociation, held in Somerset on Friday, February 8th, it was agreed that the Democratic lawyers should take no part in the appointment of a President Judge, in case Somerset county, is made a separate judicial district. The fact of the action taken was not an- nounced until last week, the current issue of the Somerset Democrat con- aining a brief statement of the meet- ing. Hl. L. Baer, Esq., made the mo- tion, which was adopted—the proposi- tion pledging the Democrats to sign no petitions circulated by Republican ap- for the Judgeship. t plicants A recruiting station will be opened in Connellsville March 4th. when re- cruits will be accepted for the United States army, in accordance with new irmy bill which provides for ten new regiments for the regular army. The recruits will be given the preference of foreign or home service. Sergeant Al- lison Binger was here Tuesday and made arrangements for examining re- cruits at the Smith House on March 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th. Capt. G. L. Scott of Pittsburg, will be here part of the time. Dr. L. P. McCormick, Assistant Surgeon of (he Tenth Regiment, will be the examining surgeon. The miui- mum weight is 118 pounds.—Connells- rille ( Talk of a trolley line from Rockwood to Hooversville is another indication of Somerset County’s booming conditions. During the coming summer coal opera- tions on an extensive scale will be opened at Wilson Creek, Milford, Sowm- erset,Mostollar, Kantner, Hooversvillee and numerous other points along the new spur the B. & O. will construct from Beck’s Cut into the coal fields of Jenner township. The two railroads cannot begin to handle this increased traflic, and so the talk of trolley trans- portation. It is asserted that the Johnstown Passenger Railway Compa- ny has in contemplation an extension of the line from Windber to llolsop- ple. Jourier. The claim of other cough medicines to be as good as Chamberlain’s are ef- fectually set at rest in the following testimonial of Mr. C. D. Glass, an em- ploye of Bartlett & Dennis Co., Gardi- ner, Me. He says: “I had kept add- ing to a cold and cough in the winter of 1897, trying every cough medicine I heard of without permanent help, until one day I was in the drug store of Mr. Houlehan, and he advised me to try Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, and of- fered to pay back not cured. My lungs and bronchial tubes were very sore at this time, but I was completely cured by this remedy, and have since always turned to it when I got a cold, and soon find relief. 1 also recommend it to my friends and am glad to say it is the best of all cough medicines.” For sale by Miller & Sha- ler. 2-28 A bill has been introduced into the Legislature providing for the centrali- zation of township schools, that is, for the abolishment of all sub-districts and the conveyance of pupils to one or more central schools. The act is not to be one making it obligatory upon town- ships to do so, but for the people of any township to adopt this plan if they so desire, acting on the matter by popular vote. The plan has been tried in some of the states, Ohio, for one, we believe, and is said to work with advantage. The children are hauled to the schools by conveyances employed for the pur- pose, and while there is some expense attached to this, it is said to be greatly overcome by the lessening in cost of teaching and superior advantages oc- curing from having the pupils classi- fied and the methods systematized, as is impossible under the present system. —DBerlin Record.
