A few snow flakes were in the air on Wednes- day, and Tuesday morning the ground was perceptibly white on Negro moun- tain. Mr. Henry Yost, of Garrett county, Md., recently went to Baltimore, Md., to see the German Consul and identify himself as the rightful heir of some money that is coming to him from Ger- many. Mr. Wm. Criss. of West Newton, Pa., and Miss Lucy Mull, of Coal Run, Pa., were married in Cumberland, Md., last week. The bride is a daughter of Mr. Geo. Mull, a well known and respected citizen of Coal Run. Harry Smith, James Rice and John Williams, the three highwaymen who waylaid and robbed Scott Livengood near Rockwood two weeks ago, were found guilty of highway robbery and were sentenced to the county jail for four months. Tuesday and Wednesday, August 26 and 27, the dates selected by the Johns- town. members of the Fifty-fourth Pennsylvania volunteers for the annual reunion of that organization at Rom- ney, W. Va., have been approved by the regiment’s executive committee. We are somewhat short on local news, this week, owing to the demands on our space for political matter. We are glad that the campaign is almost ended. and after the primary we will again get down to the every-day af- fairs of our community and have more time to devote to local news. Republican candidates Freeman Hoff- man, Chas. C. Shafer, 8. 8. Crissman, Joseph Horner, J. W. Endsley, and bolter eandidate John C. Weller, were all in Salisbary this week. We ac- knowledge a very pleasant call from Endsley, Horner, Shafer, Crissman and some of Mr.Crissmman’s Windber friends. Wagner Bros..the enterprising livery- men, recently purchased a large new bus that comfori:bly seats 25 people. "Fhe vehicle is a very handsome one, and when their four handsome black herses are hooked to it, it is easily the finest turnout ever seen in this town. 1t is ene of the easiest riding vehicles we have ever enjoyed a ride in. Promoters of the Meyersdale & Sal- isbury electric railway have asked our Town Council to renew their franchise, which has expired, making a few changes from the old franchise. A . special meeting of the Council is called tor tonight, when action will be taken in the matter. The road is now prac- rically axsured, and it is believed that it will be completed before the sum- wer is ended. Last Saturday evening Policeman Joy had quite an encounter with a “bohunk” employed at the Merchants mines. The “hunk” was drunk and full of spunk, and when the officer attempt- ed to arrest him for disorderly con- duet on the street, he resisted and got a blow from the officer’s mace. Then he quietly submitted and walked along 10 the “cooler,” where he was locked up and Iater fined $5.00 and costs by Burgess Livengood. A mortgage for $1,000,000 given by the W. K. Niver Coal Company to the Paterson Safe Deposit and Trust! Com- pany, of Paterson, N. J,, to protect the holders of $1,000,000 worth of 5 per cent. interest bearing bonds issued by the coal company, was left at the Record- er’s office a few days ago to be tran- scribed on the county records. Thein- strument eovers some forty printed pages and recites the metes and bounds of the company’s coal acreage in this county.—Somerset Herald. Mine Accidents. On Monday Henry Patton, a son of J. N. Patton, of West Salisbury, was seriotisly injured at Merchants mine No-3. He was a driver, and in some way was thrown from a car, which re- sulted in facturing his skull and injur- ing him very badly otherwise. Dr. A. F. Speicher says he is in a serious condition and may or may not recover. Last week another aecident occurred at Merchants mines. A heavy fall of coal caught two Slavishmen, breaking a leg for one and slightly injuring the other. Don’t Start Wrong. Don’t start the summer with a lin- gering cough or cold. We all know what a “summer cold” is. It’s the hardest kind to cure. Often it “hangs on” through the entire season. Takeit in hand right now. A few doses of One Minute Cough Cure will set you right. Sure cure for eoughs, colds, croup, grip, bronchitis, all throat and lung troubles. Absolutely safe. Acts at once. Chil- dren like it. “One Minute Cough Cure is the best cough medicine I ever used,” says J. H. Bowles, Groveton, N. H. “I never found anything else that acted so safely and quickly.” E. H. Miller. GOV. STONE ON IMMERSION. Big Bill Tells Dunkards Some Need Long Dips. Harrisburg, May 19.—Gov. Stone ad- dressed the German Baptists in the nuditorium at Paxtang park. this after- noon, immediately before the regular religious service. The building, which seats, 6,000 persons, was filled entirely, and thousands of people on the out- side vressed around the sides to listen of the executive. He complimented the brethren upon the tremendous conven- tion which they have been conducting with such marked order and success. He referred to the fact that many of the German Baptists at the convention, who have come from all parts of the country, were originally Pennsylva- nians, and he extended to them a wel- come home. Speaking of immersions, whieh is the custom at the baptismal services of the German Baptist church, the governor raid he was heartily in favor of im- mersion and that it would not hurt some people to be dipped ten times in- stead of three times. lS Back Pay for Old Postmasters. It seems that a lot of old postmasters in Pennsylvania are entitled to back pay for services rendered during and since the War of the Rebellion. Sena- tor Penrose will introduce a bill provid- ing for a settlement of old accounts. It is estimated that the following amounts will be found due to the fol- lowing named ex-postmasters of Som- erset county: ’ Addison—C. R. Roberts, $491. Bakersville—David Gardner, $29. Berlin—J. Poorbaugh, $105; Emanuel Masters, $153. Davidsville—Samuel Shaffer, $68. Elk Lick—William Smith, $72; Ar- thur McKinley, $109 ; Samuel M. Sayler, $27; S. J. Lichty, $60. Jeoner—Edwin F. Earle, $149. Jennertown—Charles P. Craver, $36. Kingwood—John A. Shultz, $40; John A. Shultz, $5. New Lexington—J. 0. McMillen; $34; J. R. McMillen, $18. Shanksville—E. M. Schrock, $70; C. L. Baltzer, $23. Sipesville—Peter Sipe, $47. Somerset—Mrs. Harriet Ogle, $207, Mrs. Harriet Ogle, $220, Mrs. Harriet Ogle, $180. Summit Mills—E. Miller $10, E. Mill- er, $12, E. Miller, $13. Their Bluff is Called. The Somerset Herald and Meyers- dale Commercial have been making a great ado about the election of Prof. D. W. Seibert as County Superintendent of public schools. They have been al- leging that Mr. Seibert’s election was bought, that an effort would be made to have his election annulled, that cer- tain persons would be prosecuted for buying votes, etc., ete. Of course the Herald and Commer- cial have only been bluffing, as is their custom when they want to create political sympathy. But the Mey- ersdale Republican last week called their bluff and showed plainly that the real boodlers in the Super- intendency contest were Scull heel- ers who wanted to buy votes for Mr. Saylor, but who evidently failed to buy enough. Following are a few of the facts that the Republican hurls at the bluffers: ed in this county that years ago estab- lished a reputation for making state- ments that are false and at times ridic- ulous, and they are the Somerset Her- ald and the Meyersdale Commercial. Their latest escapade along this line is their long drawn out wail, last week, over the election of Mr. D. W. Seibert to the office of County Superintendent. They both make some very harsh state- ments, and come out boldly and say that the school directors of this county are a body of men that were for sale at so much a head, and that Mr. Seibert’s election was purchased. If these pa- pers have evidence that men were bought, as they insinuate, then why don’t they come out boldly and say who these men are? ILet them prove, or at least offer evidence, before they make such wholesale charges. It is nothing but a low down trick upon the part of these disreputable newspapers who have no standing, but who are against every man whom they can not use politically, and they hope to create sympathy for their ticket at the coming primaries by this move. They have no intention of appealing to State Superintendent Shaffer, for the friends of Mr. Seibert court such an investigation. In conclusion we have a few state- ments to make to our brethren of the press. We have the names of two di- rectors in Northampton township who were offered money by the friends of Mr. Saylor. One was offered $20 to stay at home, and the other a like sum to vote for Saylor. In Greenville town- ship we have the names of two directors, one of them was offered $15 if he would vote for Saylor, and the other a like sum to stay at home. The same thing occurred in Larimer and Southampton, and we not only have the names of the parties who were offered the money, but the names of the parties offering it. 1f these papers care to keep this mat- ter up, we will furnish the atfidavits of these parties. Gentlemen, do you want them? There are still other parts of the county where, we understand, that men stand ready to make affidavit to the same state of affairs, but we only speak of those places and men where we have their permission to make the statement above.” Tre Star just wishes to add that “Timmie” and “Lucifer” should now show up or shut up. It isa well known fact that the old Scull gang is made up of men who are past grand masters at the business of bribing and boodling. But when their bribing and boodling fails to win, then they make use of the “Stop Thief ” cry in order to cast the suspicion on others that has ever hov- ered over their own little clique. None but very dull people will be deceived by the policy wails of the Somerset Ierald and the Meyersdale Commer- cial. Most people are onto the old fakirs. A Lesson in Health. Healthy kidneys filter the impurities from the blood, and unless they do this good health is impossible. ‘Foley’s Kid- ney Cure makes sound kidneys and will positively cure all forms of kidney and bladder disease. It strengthens the whole system. Sold by E. H. Miller, “There are two newspapers publish- | CALL FOR REPUBLICAN PRIMARY.

DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve prevents such con- sequences. Even where delay has ag- gravated the injury, DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve effects a cure. “I had a running sore on my leg, thirty years” says H. C. Hartly, Yankeetown, Ind. “After using many remedies, I tried DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve. A few boxes healed the sore.” Cures all skin diseases. Piles yield to it at once. Be- ware of counterfeits. E. H. Miller. The man who has a good and indus- trious wife has reason to get down on his knees three times a day and thank God. A good woman can bring more sunshine and happiness into a family circle than a gold mine or a barrel of cider, and can make all around her happy and contented as well as being the same herself. The nearest to heaven a man ever gets on earth is when he comes home to the bosom of his family, where peace and happiness reign, and where discontent and tur- moil enter not.— Lanark (Iil.) Gazette. Traveling is Dangerous. Constant motion jars the kidneys which are kept in place in the body 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 Kidney Cure.” Sold by E. H. Miller. Why is it that a home-grown man never gets his just dues? People are always proud of the home-grown pump- kins, or the home-grown roasting ears, or the home-grown race horse, but when the home-grown man undertakes to attract attention, his neighbors go around to the hardware store and pur- chase the largest and heaviest hammer they can find.—Ex. New York and Washington Ladies in delicate condition use and derive great benefit from Speer’s Port Grape Wine. Also excellent for the aged and infirm and convalescents; if properly used it prolongs their lives. An exchange says well and wiseley: “If a person who neglects to pay his bills, only knew how often he is allud- ed to as a “deadbeat,” and how many times his name is exchanged in a course of a day’s conversation, he would certainly make an extra effort to pay what he owes. It must be very unpleasant for a person to be walking along the street and be spotted by the business men as a person who will not pay. This does not allude to persons who, through sickness or misfortune, are unable to pay.” What Is Foley’s Kidney Cure? Answer: It is made froma prescrip- tion of a leading Chicago physician,and one of the most eminent in the coun- try. The ingredients are the purest that money can buy, and are scientifi- cally combined to get their utmost val- ue. Sold by E. H. Miller. The Blairsville Courier says that Thomas MacArthur, a Bairdstown coal miner of many years’ experience both in Europe and in America, among many other curious finds, once dug out of a bed of coal, where it had lain for thousands of years, a strip of wood ex- actly thirty-six inches long and having every appearance of a modern yard- stick. Mr. MacArthur says he thinks probably the relic belonged to Noah, ‘who tucked it away in what he consid- ered a safe place just before the big shower. 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. The young man who, to use a popular phrase, “rides on the water wagon,” will find at the end of the year when the accounts are balanced that he has not only made money by so doing, but that he has made friends and health as well. It is all well enough to say that you can’t have a good time unless you go out with the “boys” occasionally and have a few drinks, but the Falls Creek Herald argues that the good time that a young man has in that manner draws on the bank account of his vitality and shortens his days here on earth. The man who thinks he is having a good time by drinking is decejving himself. No sane man can ever point to a good time that he had when he was drunk, and if you will notice we never hear the fellows who haye been having a good drunken time referring to the matter until they are drunk again. If you yalue your health, your peace of mind and days here on earth, my son, you will stick to the water wagon. It is only the man who has been down in the gutter who ean appreciate and envy the position of the man who sits up high on the seat along side of the driver of the water wagon. Stick to the sprinkler, my boy, and you will be wearing diamonds inst ead of hocking your watch for a drink. A Revelation. If you will make inquiry it will be a revelation to you how many succumb to kidney or bladder troubles in one form or another. if the patient is not beyond medical aid, Foley’s Kidney Cure will cure. It never disappoints. Sold by E. H.
