Well, really, we know little about the Decoration Day blow- out, and we hardly think the promoters want any publicity given to the affair.

Startling proof of a wonderful ad- vance in medicine is given by druggist G. W. Roberts, of Elizabeth, W. Va. An old man there had long suffered with what good doctors pronounced in- curable cancer. They believed his case hopeless till he used Electric Bitters and applied Bucklen’s Arnica Salve, which treatment completely cured him. When Electric Bitters are used to expel bilious, kidney and microbe poisons at the same time this salve exerts its matchless healing power, blood dis- eases, skin eruptions, ulcers and sores vanish.

Hoover. who last fall travel: ed all over the county and urged Republicans to vote the Democratic ticket, is now denying his acts to certain people, because he wants to be elected Chairman of the Repub- lican County Committee. His de- nial, however, won’t go, for here is a sworn st=tement made by D. M. Fike, one of Somerset county’s best citizens, and it completely puts a damper on Mr. Hoover’s denials. State of Pennsylvania, County of Somer- set, 83: ' D. M. Fike. being qualified according to law. says that he is well acquainted with Ed. Hoover. That on Friday, May 30th, 1902, the said Ed. Hoover in conversation with him on the streets of Meyersdale. said : “That he did vote against Francis J. Kooser, Republican eandidate for Pres- ident Judge at the last general election, and that he would do the same thing again against the same man.” Signed, D. M. FIKE. Subscribed and sworn to before me this 2nd of June, 1902. WW: B. Cooxr., J. P. It i= a ridiculous proposition to be asked to support Ed. Hoover for the otlice he seeks. When Hoover was the Republican nominee for Sheriff, Judge Kooser and all his friends gave their hearty support to Edward : but last fall. when Mr. Hoover’s Republican services were needed. he gave his vote, his time and his influence to the Democrats, Do the Republicans of Somerset coun- ty want a Democratic ally to act as Chairman of the Republican organiza- tion? We think not. ee Saved From an Awful Fate. “Everybody said I had consumption,” writes Mrs. A. AM.

Guaranteed bottles Trial bottles free at E. H. Miller’s drug store. ee OxE of the candidates for the Assem- bly is one John C. Weller, who prides himself upon being the Scull faction leader in Milford township. He dis- tinguished himself last fall by leading his followers in a bolt against the Re- publican ticket, and he now thinks that his service to the Democratic ticket entitles him to a Republican nomina- tion for the Legislature ; but John is at least entitled to another think. The Republicans of Milford also have a think in this matter, and it will be in- teresting to notice what they think. Mr. Weller’s running mate on the Bolt- ers’ slate is Frederick Rowe. We do not know what Mr. Rowe was doing about election time last year, but his eagerness for a place on the Bolters’ slate indicates his sympathies.—Som- erset Standard. Tivmir’s Herald says that Harvey A. Berkley has been a faithful worker in the party. Indeed he has—of the Scull party, no difference whether the orders of Timmie were to call off a pri- , organize a bolt or make a help- race. s a chance for his man to go to Con- his choice would be himself or a relative to himself than Mr. needed his services, “Johnny,” | took his little political gun and filled | his pockets with “field glasses,” then Now he comes sneaking back | If Timmie believed there | NO BOLTER FOR THEH. What They Think of Bolter Harvey M. Berkley in Fayette County. Republicans must not forget that | Fayette and Green counties are a part of our congressional district. In choos- ing a congressional candidate, we must therefore reckon with the other coun- ties of the district. The Fayette Re- publican, published at Connellsville, is one of the leading Republican journals | in the district, and it has already given notice that no bolter of Harvey M. Berkley’s stripe, even could get the support of the Republi- cans of Fayette county. In speaking of Harvey M. Berkley, the Fayette Re- publican of May 24th, says: “1f our Somerset county friends want such a Republican (?) sent to Congress, is it any wonder that Fayette county should object to their choice? Iayette county Republicans are true to the party and have no time for bolters and soreheads from Somerset county. No such person could have his candidacy cdousidered either by Fayette county Ilepublicans or Fayette county Demo- crats.” 1f Harvey M. Berkley should be the | district nominee, he could not get the support of. the Republican organiza- tion in Fayette county, where party- wreckers are held in bad repute. ette Republicans say they will support J. A. Berkey for Congress if he is nomi- nated, but Harvey M. Berkley, never! | | | i i Warning. | If you have kidney or bladder trou- ble and do not use Foley’s Kidney Cure. you will have only yoursely to blame | for results, as it positively cares all | forms of kidney and bladder diseases. 2. BH, Miller, > ——— —ulter Berkley Scored by One of His Former Pastors. In a recent letter from a former pas- tor of the Brethren congregation of Meyersdale, the good pastor says: “So H. M. Berkley wants 1o go to Congress? And he wants the Dunkard and Brethren votes? These bodies ought to remember that the said Berk- ley ignored the Dunkard call to the ministry and the Brethren’s later call to the deaconate, for fear of injuring his political chances.” ; Here, fellow citizens, you have the sublime spectacle of a man who pro- fesses Christianity, but who apparently professes it for revenue only. He hasre- tused to put on the gospel harness and work for the Lord, but he wants the Dunkards and the Brethren to elect him to a worldly office. What did Jesus say when here on earth? Didn’t lie say something like this: *‘He that is ashamed of Me, the same will I be ashamed of in my Father’s kingdom.” If Harvey M. Berkley isn’t ashamed of his Saviour, then why did he refuse the Dunkard call to the ministry? He said it would injure his political chances, and he refused, thus showing that he esteemed politics higher than his church, his Saviour and the Chris- tian religion. Thus would he sell his church and his Saviour for a political office. And this is not all. He foresook the cliurch he was born and reared in. He tied and got himself out after he was wanted to preach the gospel. He flopped over to the Progressive or Brethren church. He bolted, as it were, just ag he bolted from the Re- publican party, last fall. Then what? Why, the renegade and bolter was re- ceived with open arms and he was elected to the deaconate. But did he accept the call? No, nor he. He ugain declined on the ground that it would in- jure his political chances. Ile bolted ngain, and he has since shown that he would rather serve “Timmie” Scull and the devil than to serve the Lord. Last year Mr. Scull trotted him out for delegate to the Republican State Convention. Did he decline then? Oh, no: he accepted the eall, but the Re- publicans knocked him out by over 600 majority for his opponent. Then what did he do? Why, then he bolted the Republican party, just as he did his church. He canvassed the county, urging true Republicans to bolt their nominations, just as he bolted the will of his church on two occasions. And now what is he doing? Why, he is out ngain for office and asks the sup- port of the same loyal Republicans that he last fall urged to betray their party. Will he get it? Yes, we think he will get it where the chicken got the ax. Behold the traitor. Harvey M. Jerkley, the man who betrayed his party and ignored his church! Give nim the crushing defeat he deserves. He has been weighed in the balance and found wanting. . ~~ Toe Windber Era says: “No fool, no clown, ean run this town.” Cer- tainly not, Mr. Akin, and the failure of vour efforts in trying to run it are ap- parent to all. Your 50-cent paper isn’t the caper. > Tur Windber Era, the Copperhead sheet, is very sore because J. A, Berkey has a strong lead over Bolter Harvey M. Berkley in that town. The Era whiningly remarks: “It is said that a movement is under way to change the name of Windber to Berkeyville.” J. A. Berkey, of Somerset, who seeks the nomination for Congress, deserves recognition by the Republican party. He has always been loyal to party in- terests and should have the honor of its endorsement. Being a man of abili- y ty and experience, we believe he would represent his constituents with integri- ty and honor.— Windber Journal. i Tne Copperhead sheet, the Windber Era, last week endorsed Charles Weim- er for Sheriff and Daniel Keller for Re- corder. In the same paragraph it states its reason for endorsing them—both subscribed for the Era. That’s quite a weighty reason, isn’t it? its only natural for Copperhead Demo- crats to endorse Republican bolters and party-wreckers. a “Trans should have good memories,” says the Windber Era. Certainly they should, but the editor of the Era seems to have a very poor one. It is only a few months since he took charge of the Era, and then he announced that his would be non-partisan. in the county. his salutatory, was he only joking, or is his memory as weak as his paper? It may be a little of all three, if nominated, | Fay- | But after all, | 1 Already | it is the most virulent partisan organ | Did the Era man lie in | Wrnex Harvey M. Berkley was a can- didate for delegate to the State conven- tion, last year, he was defeated by over six hundred votes ; smarting under his defeat he worked and vot against a portion of the Republican ticket. True | Republicans will remember him at the primary election for his treachery to | the party by administering another de- feat.— Somerset Standard. eit lm - Hap it not been for the valiant and energetic work done last fall by J. A. Berkey, for the whole Republican tick- et, the Democrats and the Scull bolters would have defeated Judge Kooser. Every Republican who voted for Judge Kooser, and ever Republican who is Judge Kooser’s friend, owes his vote | and his influence to J. A. Berkey for Congress. Don’t forget that. If ever a man deserved office at the hands of the Republican party for valuable ser- vices rendered, that man is J. A. Berkey, and the time is now. —————— CnarLes WEIMER, who gave his vote and his influence to the Democrats at the last general election, now has the cheek to expect Republicans to elect him Sheriff. Charles looks rather sneaking when people ask him why he voted with the Democrats. and he feels so guilty that he can’t electioneer with very good grace. Ile didn’t have much | to say when he was here, except when | he was in Hay’s saloon slopping down whisky. and then he didn’t do anything but just blow about being able to shoe more horses in a ddy than any other man in Somerset county. But per- | haps it was only the whisky that was doing the blowing. There is little | doubt that he can drink more whisky | than any other blacksmith in Somer- {'set county, but when it comes to shoe- ing horses, there are others. - Acconrning to the Windber Era, the Copperhead sheet, one Daniel Kough, proprietor of the Halfway house ot Windber, had hired John E. Gasteiger to obtain a license for him. It further appears that J. A. Berkey was hired for associate counsel, and that after Mr. Kough got his license he refused to “cough” up the fee that had been agreed upon. And now Mr. Akin, the editor of the Era, appears to be achin’ to make people believe that Mr. Kough was im- posed upon because his attorneys want- ed him to “couzh” up what he owed them. But the people who read last week’s Era just came to the conclusion that Mr.-Kough, proprietor of the Half- way house, is only a halfway man and is simply making a halfway fool of him- self, while the editor of the Era is go- ing the other half. retell lp — Tue Democratic Meyersdale Com- mereial is sponsor for Bolter Harvey M. Berkley. In speaking of him, “Lu- cifer” says: “All know that he is an astute lawyer and balanced intellectu- ally.” Well, it is a good thing that he is balanced intellectually, but as a law- Ler who ever. knew. him to try a case efore a jury? A lawyer? Ye gods! ye gods! Alawyer? Somebody please hold our hat while we laugh. Why, its enough to make one roll on the ground when Harvey M. Berkley’s name is mentioned as a lawyer. Old John M. Smith could take the poor side of any case and win aguinst Harvey M. Berk- ley in any court and before any jury, and that, too, with liquor in him or out of him. Did you ever hear Harvey M. Berkley make a “spooch?” If you did, we know you felt charitable toward him and wished that for his own good he would go away back and be seated. Harvey isn’t mueh on making a “spooch,” but he is very clever at trav- eling over the county and urging his friends to vote the Democratic ticket, as he did last fall. Ir has leaked out through the town- ship Scull ring boss, who lives east of town, that one Stephen R.}McKinley has been turned down at Scull headquar- ters in Somerset. Stephen has. been posing as the Scull leader in Salisbury borough during the past few years, be- cause no better man wanted the empty ‘honor. Stephen did all he could for ‘the gang, but that was too little to fill the bill at headquarters. It gave Stephen an awful black eye with the Sculls when he was licked for school director on a fusion ticket, year before last. To redeem himself, he came out as a fusion candidate again at the last borough election, when he got his bumps worse than ever. That was the blow that almost killed “Father Tim- mie,” and it has since been decreed at headquarters that inasmuch as Stephen does not appear to cut much ice, he must be turned down. Virgil was over here last week, held a conference with Irving J. Engle and duly installed him as boss of Salisbury borough. But the Republicans will bow down to neither the new boss nor the old one. Scull ring bosses have outlived their useful- ness in Salisbury. The people know how to vote without a boss set over hem by the defunct Scull ring of Som- erset. ll a = Poor old Lucifer Ananias Smith la- ments the fact that true Republicans have black-listed the traitors within their ranks, and he now calls on the miners to come to the rescue. He says the miners know what black-listing means. Sure thing they do; and they also know what traitors are. The min- ers believe in organization, and they know how despisable a traitor to their organization is. They know how they hate a spy who pretends to be a good organization man, but who at the same time carries news and tells others how to break up their organization. There 1s a wide difference between a lot of black-listed party traitors and black- listed working mien, and the miners are not such fools as not to be able to com- prehend the difference. They also know old Lou Smith, and they know that in the great majority of times when there were labor troubles in this region, the Meyersdale Commercial was against the miners. Why, it was only last week that the Commercial called the editor of the Midland Press “the unregenerate son of Belial.” TIsn’t that a pretty epithet to apply to the editor of the miners’ official newspa- from the Commercial, the very paper which is now calling on the miners to support Harvey M. Berley, a renegade and traitor to his party! Ani think of | Harvey M. now begging for the votes of the party he so foully betrayed last fall! To black-list a laboring man and keep him out of work is all wrong; | but to black list a traitor to his party i or his organization is all right, and you | know it. per?
