Somerset county Republican news- papers—of which there are practically none other—are saying real mean things of each other these days. It seems strange that the Meyersdale Commercial and Somerset Herald have to be labeled each campaign in order to distinguish them from real Demo- crats.— Fayette Republican. The editor of the Johnstown Democrat refers to the editor of the Johnstown | Tribune as “The Hon. Gas and Water- snake and Waterdog and Lizzard and Dead Fish Editor Walters.” That is almost equal to some of the pet names NORTH DAKOTA LETTER. Ziox, N. D., May 6, 1902. Epiror Star:—Seeding is stiil on in full blast all along this northern tier of states and across the line. Our spring season was ushered in wet and has re- mained so until now. This past week weather has been very warm and pleasant. Everything is growing lux- uriantly, these long sunshiny days. We have daylight now from 3.30 to 9.30, and by the longest days from 3 a. m. to 10 p. m. The wheat and early sown oats and speltz look fine. From now on flax and barley will be sown until July. Seeding, however, has been very much retarded in the Red and Jim river val- leys. In fact much of the low lands all over the state won't be cropped this year at all; consequently, the acreage of spring wheat and corn will be cut down very materially, perhaps 50 per cent. in some localities. But most of Town er county is dry, rolling upland, and the acreage sown this year will rather exceed that of former years. This season will about finish the break- ing of raw sod in our locality. It would do some of your mountain farmers good to see some of our west- ern farmers plowing with steam gang- the editor of Tne Star and the Mey- ersdale Commercial sometimes hurl at each other. | The contract for the construction of a railroad, water works and sewer for | | the Ursina Coal Mining Company at | the new coal town of Humbert, near | Ursina, has been let to R. A. Reighard, | of Johnstown. The contract price is $21,000 and includes a mile of motor road and five railroad bridegs. For the improvements at Humbert the | company has made an appropriation of $150,000, says an exchange. Our genial friend Harry Kifer was a | welcome caller at Tune office, Tuesday afiernoon. Harry is now holding down a good job with the Na- tional Biscuit Company, of New York, as traveling He still his residence in Somerset, where he says there is much rejoicing among the better class of people over the com- | plete the Seull ring. | Harry is highly elated over the result of the last primary.

A mass meeting will be held in Gar- man’s hall in the evening.and an ad- dress will be made by Zon. lee L. Grumbine, Prohibition mneminee for Governor. It may be that Pr. Swallow will also address the audience. The Hyndman Bulletin says: “Would it not be a good plan to keep down | be found in such large quantities on the streets of our hustling town?” This paper would like to know what brand of hustle is to be found in Hyndman, where large quantities of weeds and grass can be found growing on the streets. But here’s hoping the hay crop in Hyndman will be guite good | this year. and if the place keeps on | “hustling,” it may soon have to enlarge | its cemetery, as the “booming” town of | Berlin did some time ago. | | Virulent Cancer Cured. 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 eancer. They believed his case | hopeless till he used Electric Bitters | and applied Bucklen’s Arnien 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.

Sturdevant, of Merry Oaks, N.C. “Af- ter I bad tried mamy doctors and medi- cines to no avail one of ny friends per- suaded me to try JKodol. It gave im- mediate relief. TI can eat almost any- thing I want now and my digestion is good. I cheerfully mecommend Kodol.” Don’t try to cure stomach trouble by dieting. That only further wesknes the system. You need wholesome, strengthening food. ¥odol enables you to assimilate what you eat by digesting it without the stomach’s aid. B. H. Miller. “The Cat Came Back.” In 1901 Gov. Smith, of Maryiand, called a special session of the Legisla- ture for the purpose of tampering with the election law. The work was done under the eyes of the Democratic bosses, and one of the most radical against whieh there was @a general protest, provided that the en- tire ballot should be void il there was the slightest error in murking any part of it. For instance, the candidares of | all the parties were grouped together in alphabetical order, and, supposing | there were twelve candidates for the Legislature and only four to be voted | for, if the voter happened by mistake to mark five names, the whole ticket was void, and could not be counted for At the recent municipal election in €um- berland the Democrats complain that this nature of the law lost them the majyerality, and they are a greatly dis- gusted lot. No permanent politieal ad- vantage was ever obtained by fraud.— Davis (W. Va.) Republican. Three Spicy Ones From the Queen City Courier. Mrs. C. M. Livengood, of Grantsville, has a boy 11 years old that weighs 150 pounds. Most any of us could weigh that if we were livin’good. The Danish West India islands seem to be going up, but not in price. Uncle Sam has no one bidding against him. Perhaps it is because of his bid that one or two of them have been “knock- ed off ” by a voleano. The Indiana Journal says, “a man who won't throw up his hat, whoop, hurrah and scrap, if necessary, for hi town, ain’t worth his salt as a citizen.” That isn’t bad advice for some people of Cumberland. There are people in this city who are forever grumbling about the town, and they won’t leave except when the grand jury is about to meet. —_———— more civilized | The Papers He Likes the Best.
