L. Barchus, President; H. H, Maust, Vice A present duty: Subseribe for THE Ir is reported through the Fayette county papers that the delegates from that county, who touk part in the Re- publican conference at Pittsburg, last week, to fix a method for the nomina- tion of candidates for Congress in the new Twenty-third district, are dissatis- fied with the adoption of the resolution giving each of the three counties in the district representation in the district conference by three conferees. This means, of course, that the Fayette dele- gates want only such representation as will give Fayette the power to nominate, all Republican candidates for Con- gress. "If our new political relatives in Fayette have been indulging in any such pipe dream they ought to abate the indulgence promptly. Since the “Frosty Bons of Tunder” will be re- lied upon to furnish the Republican majorities for the district, they will demand their rights to furnish at least an occasional candidate.—Somerset Standard. Our dear old friend (?) Lou A. Smith announces in his last week’s Commer- cial that he is going to be on his good behavior during the present political campaign. He promises to do no mud- throwing, but will he keep his promise? In other words, can a hog forsake its filthy wallowings? Time will tell. In the same issue he makes such promises he publishes a whole column of hog- wash calculated for no other purpose than to bring about a campaign of per- sonalities, the very thing he pretends to seek relief from. The A in old “Lu- cifer’s” name stands for Ananias, and it is just as impossible for Lou Smith to go through a political campaign with- out opening his mud and filth batteries as it is for any other hog to be decent and cleanly. Imagine the anguish of a sow deprived of her wallow; think of the misery of a cat in hades without claws; think of the agony of a starving buzzard that hasn’t had a mess of car- rion for a week; think of the terrible condition of a fish out of water; then, after thinking of all these things, you may be able to form some idea of the misery Lou Smith will be in if he at- tempts to pass through a political cam- paign without indulging in his custom- ary mud-throwing and dirty personali- ties. He will be at his old pranks, as usual, for it is not natural for an old dog to acquire any more sense than he had during his prime or to learn new tricks in his old days. But all his rant- ing and raving will harm no one but himself, A man who has made a hog of himself as many years as Lou Smith has done, is not very apt to become de- cent in his dotage. But who cares what he does? He that is filthy, let him be filthy still, sayeth the Scrip- tures. On this We Agree With Our Adver- sary. General Koontz won the admiration of his political foes by his consistent course at Harrisburg, his courage and the manliness, honesty and purity of purpose he ever displayed. No bribe giver dared approach him and no taint of corruption smudged his garments.— Meyersdale Commercial. Bravo, bravo, old man! It does us much good to, agree with you on the above. Ior once you have made a statement that came straight from the heart. For once you have uttered a truth as firm as the everlasting hills. For once you have been honest enough to utter what you really think. But you are so weak, so vacillating, so wishy-washy, and so utterly, deplora- bly, pitifully, outrageously, lamentably and irredeemably politically depraved that you may go back on your own truthful statement before next week. At any rate you were singing quite a different tune when General Koontz was a candidate for office the last time. Because he was an honest, upright and fearless man, a man who would not sacrifice his honest convictions for po- litical gain, you even bolted your own party ticket to vote against him and advised others to do the same, and all because you sold your political birth- right for a promised mess of political pottage. You even went so far as to admonish young men not to follow in the footsteps of General Koontz. You advised them to sacrifice their man- hood and their honest convictions for political gain. Now, after seeing that General Koontz is admired by all hon- est men, in spite of all you could do against him to accomplish his down- fall, you give vent to your inward feel- ings and speak truthfully of the man, Well, truth is mighty and must pre- vail, and it is better late than never, It is also a truth that a deg will gener- ally return to his vomit and hie it up. TL en The Climax Brandy of 1878 Vint- age has proven to be a superior distillation by the Speer N. J. Wine Co., and with 22 years of ripening is put upon the ed by Rev. J. A.

Prof. Shaffer has proven himself a splendid principal. ability, and his deportment outside of the school room, as well as in it, has been very commendable ever since coming to our town. no matter how able an instructor he Salisbury High School Commence- ment and Alumni Banquet. Last Friday evening a large audience assembled in Hay’s opera house to wit- ness the rendition of the program pre- pared by the graduating class of 1902, of the Salisbury High School. Those who graduated this year are Mary Gaunt, Carmen Ringler, Marion Rees, Elizabeth Engle, Harriet Hay, Annie Radcliffe, Charlotte Boyer and Ellet S. Baumgardner, and we take pleasure in saying that all members of the class performed their respective parts very well. The exercises opened with the “Amer- ican Vietory March,” by a swell little orchestra composed of the following named persons and instrumentation: 8. L. Livengood, violin; Justice Hart- line, cornet; Chas. H. Lantz, flute: Alfred Ringler, trombone; Otto Petry, piano. With the exception of Mr. Lantz, the popular and efficient mu- sician and piano tuner, of Cumberland, Md., who is always ready to help our people out in any way he can be of service to them, the orchestra was all made up of home talent. The excel- lent music was a very greatly enjoyed part of the program and reflected great credit on the musicians. After a fervent prayer by Elder W. A. Gaunt, his daughter, Mary, deliver- ed the salutatory of the class. Her subject was “Vive la Republique,” and Miss Gaunt showed great ability and gracefulness in her rendition of the same. The salutatory, we are inform- ed, was Miss Gaunt’s own composition throughout, and if our information is correct, the young lady has originality enough ‘in her make-up, and of the proper kind, to become a woman of rare literary ability. Her production was extraordinarily meritorious. “Education—Its Object,” was the subject of a splendid oration delivered by Miss Carmen Ringler. The subject was well handled and reflected great credit upon the young lady. Next was a musical selection by the orchestra, after which Miss Marion Rees delivered a fine oration entitled “Blocks of Stone.” This was followed by a splendid essay entitled “Life—What We Make 1t,” by Miss Elizabeth Engle, which was fol- lowed by another excellent selection by the orchestra. Mies Harriet Hay then delivered a fine oration, entitled, America’s Trait- or” The)young lady ripped old Bene. dict Arnold up one side and down the other in such an earnest and eloquent way that it would have been little wonder if the arch traitor would have rolled over in his grave and startled the world with his groans. The class prophecy was rendered by Miss Charlotte Boyer. It was made up of a large number of humorous and appropriate remarks and happy hits. It is earnestly hoped that Miss Boyer’s dream concerning tke fine new school house she mentioned will be speedily realized. If it isn’t, some people in this town will have a whole lot to an- swer for when called before the Great Judge of the world. We ought to have a new school house this very summer, and to longer defer the matter is a very grave crime against the rising generation. Messrs. Directors, the friends of education expect much of you and should not be dispppointed. Will you act? After another fine selection by the orchestra, Miss Annie Radcliffe deliv- ered a very able oration on “Our Na- tion’s Need of Education.” Her dis- course was well composed, well render- ed and mach praised by the audience. The valedictory was delivered by Ellet S. Baumgardner. It was highly creditable and contained much to pon- der over with profit. After another selection by the or- chestra, Prof. F. B. Shaffer presented the diplomas to the graduates, with very approprite and impressive re- marks, and the truth and wisdom of his words should not soon be forgotten by those who were so ably taught un- der his tutorship. The class ode was a beautiful song in which all the graduates joined, Miss Della Brown presiding at the piano.

THE ALUMNI BAXQUET, After the commencement exercises, the Third Annual Banquet of the Salis- bury Public School Alumni was held at the residence of Rev. and Mrs. S. M. Baumgardner. The menu consisted of orange chips, turkey, cranberries, sand- wiches, olives, cellery, salted nuts, green peas, salad, wafers, ice cream, chocolate sauce, cake and coffee. The following program was rendered at the banquet: “The Value of Education”—Mrs. H. C. Shaw, Class of 1890. “The Old and the New”—George C. Hay, Class of 1893. “The Class”’—Ira A. Milliron, Class of 1895. “The Obligation of a Graduate to the Community”—Edith C. Livengood,Class of 1896. “The Ladies of the Alumni”’—Ernest Livengood, Class of 1898. “The Gentlemen of the Alumni’— Della Brown, Class of 1800. “Origin and Work of Alumni Associa- tions”—Sara Smith, Class of 1901. “The Class of 1902”—Prof. F. B. Shaf- fer. Almyra Lichliter acted as toastmis- tress, and the banquet wag a very pleasant affair. Traveling is Dangerous. Constant motion jars the kidneys which are kept in place in the y by delicate attachments. This is the reason that travelers, trainmen, street car men, teamsters and all who drive very much suffer from kidney disease in some form. Foley’s Kidney Cure strengthens the kidneys and cures all forms of kidney and bladder disease. Geo. H. Hausan, locomotive engineer, Lima, O., writes, “Constant vibration of the engine caused me a great deal of trouble with my kidneys, and I got no relief until I used Foley's idney Cure.” Sold by E. H. Miller. New Coal and Coke Company. The charter of the Pennsylvania, Maryland & West Virginia Coal & Coke Company, of Johnstown, with a nomi- nal capital of $1,000 has been granted by the State Department at Harris- burg. It arrived yesterday through Keim & Weimer, attorneys, and was delivered to the local stockholders. The incorporators are D. B. Zimmer- man and George H. Love, of Somerset, ‘and J. K. Love and W, H, Sunshine, of Johnstown, The Coinpay has options on large tracts of coal land in the three states covered by the charter, although it is not expected that the lands in West Virginia and Maryland will be operated at present. The Pennsylvania territory consists of over five thousand acres of fine coal in Allegheny county, lying between the Pittsburg & Western and the West Penn railroads, although it is the present intention to oper:‘eit from the former road, and after delivering the ore to the furnaces, cars have to re- turn empty, unless they can haul coal or the like for lake trade, and low rates are given to induce such back-haul. trade and will send most of the coal mined over the Bessemer, Gray's Mills is the nearest settlement to the property, which is as yet untouched, but a station, tipple and sidings will be built there and mines opened as soon as things get in proper shape to go ahead. The coal is in the Pittsburg vein and is eight to twelve feet thick. The corporation is not yet organized, but the prime movers and biggest stockholders are Messrs. Zimmerman and Love, of Somerset.—Johnstown Tri- bune. ——— Will Cure Consumption. A. A. Herren, Sinch, Ark., writes, “Foley’s Honey and Tar is the best pre- paration for coughs, colds and lung trouble. I know that it has cured consumption in the first stages.” Sold by E. H. Miller. A New Kind of Endless Chain. Monday morning. There were fifteen men to adopt the plan. Each man agreed to write four letters to four friends, with the request that each of these write four more letters with the same request, and so on. Each person receiving these letters will be asked to refrain from eating meat for the period of one week, be- ginning May 15. Wants Others to Know. “I have used DeWitt’s Little Early Risers for constipation and torpid liver, and they are all right. I am glad to indorse them, for I think when we find a good thing we ought to let others know it,” writes Alfred Heinze, Quincy. Ill. They never gripe or distress. Sure, safe pill. E. H. Miller.
