Wilt and family are being vis- jted by Mr. Wilt’s father, who resides at Westernport, Md. On the first indication of kidney trou- ble, stop it by taking Foley’s Kidney Cure. E. H. Miller. Pocahontas, as usual, will celebrate the glorious 4th with dancing, sparring, red fire and fire-water. No good health unless the kidneys are sound. Foley’s Kidney Cure makes the kidneys right. E. H. Miller. Mrs. H. G. Wilhelmi, who had been visiting friends in Addison for about two weeks, returned home last Sunday. Chronic bronchial troubles and sum- mer coughs can be quickly relieved and cured by Foley's Honey and Tar. E. H.. Miller. The Methodist people of Meyersdale have decided to erect a new church edifice in the near future. The new structure is to cost $30,000. Qur friend Dennis Stevanus went to Berlin, Tuesday morning, where he ex- pects to remain for some time, having secured employment there. During the summer kidney irregu- Iavities are often caused by excessive drinking or being overheated. Attend the kidneys at once by using Foley's Kidney Cure. E. H. Miller. Last week the Garrett base ball club came to Salisbury for a match game with our home team. The visitors were defeated by a score of 13 to 9. Prof. C. E. Dickey,and family, of Avi- lon, Pa. arrived here last week to spend their summer vacation with Mrs. Dickey’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Boyer. A business meeting of the W. C.T. U. will be held at the home of Mrs. Casper Wahl, Monday evening, June 30. All members are expected to be present at this meeting. Misses Delta and Grace Rowland, of Lanark, Ill, arrived here last week and will visit friends in Salisbury and vi- cinity for a month or more. They are granddaughters of Mr. and Mrs. 8. J. Lichty. . The Bessemer (Alabama) Workman says: If you go very far into the woods when the days are very hot, you will find that the chigger is no bigger than the point of a pin; but the lump he raises itches like blazes, and there’s where the rub comes in. The people of Confluence recently held an election to decide whether or not to bond the town in the sum of $8,000 for an electric light plant. The vote was 123 for light to 42 against. ©ontracts will be entered into at once for the construction of the plant. Coal Run, Meyersdale and Rock- wood will have 4th of July celebrations, - this year. At each place the American eagle will be made to scream in his most patriotic strain; but there will be no use in any of our home people go- ing any further than Coal Run for a good time. Mrs. Rev. Sanger, of South Bend, Ind., formerly Mrs. A. P. Beachy, made | Tur STAR a pleasant call on Monday,in company with Samuel A. Beachy. Mrs. | . Sanger has been visiting friends in this | vicinity for several*weeks, but will re- | turn to her home in a few days. The estimable wife of John Lentz, of | Brothersvalley township, died last week after a brief illness. She is survived by a husband and a large family of children. The Lentz family used to re- side in Elk Lick township, where they bave many friends who will read this item with much sorrow. The Frostburg Mining Journal is au- thority for it that one of Salisbury’s enterprising citizens has a hen that Jays two eggs a day. That’s pretty good for Salisbury, but Frostburg also has a freak in the person of an anti- guated journalistic relic that can hatch out a stale joke or two about once a week. Hay’s Hotel will change hands on July 1st, when Mrs. Drucilla Hay will retire from the hotel business and be succeeded by her son, Wm. N. Hay,wbo for the past few years has been a resi- dent of Cumberland, Md. Otto Petry recently went to Morgan- town, W. V., where he has secured profitable employment at his trade. Otto is a good workman, as are also his brothers, and why shouldn’t they be? Their father, Frank Petry, Sr, 1s one of the most skilled carpenters that ever landed in this town. Our old friend Casper Wahl says he had new peas and new potatoes for dinner, on June 22nd, that were grown in his own garden. That’s quite a rec- ord breaker, especially for a year that as yet has brought us no summer. It proves that Mr. and Mrs. Wahl are good gardeners and have a good garden. The editor's wife is still confined to her bed and continues to be dangerously ill. With a very sick wife and five little children to look af- ter, and no good nurse to be had at any price, we ask our readers to kindly overlook all shortcomings of the paper. Persons who are waiting for job print- ing, will also confer a favor by being patient with us. The parent who has no control over his children during their tender years does them irreparable harm by the gen- tleness of his conduct toward them. For it almost always happens that the boy who rides rough shod over the heart of his mother and who defies the law of the home comes to grief. And in the hour of his supreme misery he is apt to curse his indulgent parents.—Ex. While mining coal in the old Flog Hill country opening, Tuesday last, Luther Anderson and a young son had a narrow escape from being killed by a fall of breast coal. One of Mr. Ander- son’s feet was somewhat injured, and the boy’s face was considerably cut and skinned; but they were fortunate in getting far enough out of the way to avoid being killed. J.C. Begley, formerly editor of the Journal, and the unfortunate victim of the Johnstown railroad disaster, was in Windber Tuesday and Wednesday. Although under the care of physicians, Mr. Begley is much improved. He is making his home at the Connellsville hospital at present. Mr. Begley is not interested in newspaper business as was reported some weeks ago, as he says he is not yet strong enough to engage actively in anything.— Windber Journal. ! The meanest swindler heard of is a man who has been operating in neigh- boring counties. His game is a dental one. He goes to a house and extracts teeth without cost, provided a new set is to goin. He calls again in a few days, gots half the price for the plate, and fails to appear again, leaving his vie- tim minus teeth and cash. There is weeping and wailing, but owing to cir- cumstances no gnashing of teeth. There is, however, a terrible chewing of gum. —Rochelle (Ill.) Reg’ster. The lawn fete given at the hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. N. B. Keim, Thursday night of last week,by the 8.8. C.E. of the Brethren church,was a great success. Wagner Bros. were kept busy hauling people over from town, and the crowd was so large that Charles Lantz and his orchestra had to crawl up on the barn roof to find a suitable place to render their music. Every nook and corner in and about the house were jambed with people. All report an excellent time. Economy can be overdone. A fellow who works hard all his life can die owning broad acres, stocks and bonds, notes and cash for heirs to quarrel over. He can go without the comforts of life, denying himself all luxuries, be roundly hated by all he deals with for his close ways, may choose dollars in- stead of friends, and never see a day of rest, amassing wealth for those who never cared for him, and who have waited only for him to be out of the way to reap the reward of his skimp- ing and labors. Mrs. Norman Ringler, who resides on the Daniel Fike farm, about midway between Salisbury and ,Meyersdale, narrowly escaped being killed by light- ning, Wednesday evening. While a terrific thunder storm was in progress, a bolt of lightning struck the kitchen flue and ran down to the cooking stove. | Mrs. Ringler, who was in the kitchen doing her evening work, was knocked | over and rendered unconscious for | quite a while. Dr. Speicher was at once summoned, and we are glad to announce that he says the woman is not seriously injured. | For cool weather, this summer is surely remarkable. Thus far we have | had frost in every month, During the | last week we have had some very { heavy frosts in this locality, and on | Monday last a few snowflakes were no- | ticed in the air by several men who | were standing in front of C. A. Wilt’s { store. The men say that they were | looking across the street and could | plainly see snowflakes falling directly in front of 8. R. McKinley’s shop. We | have no reason to doubt it, for the men | who made the statement are truthful | men, and furthermore, we know that it | has snowed for Stephen’s special bene- | fit on several occasions during the last | two years. Frank Livengood, who was badly in- jured in the mines on Wednesday of last week. mention of which was made in last week’s Star, is now believed to be on a fair way to recovery. His head was so badly injured that it was feared for several days that he could not recover. However, Dr. Lichty, his attending physician, now thinks he will recover. The sufferer’s mind seems to be affected at intervals, but he is gradually becoming more rational, and it is believed that he will fully recover in due time. Those who saw the acci- dent happen, say ic is a miracle that he was not instantly killed. Notice has been received by the resi- dent manager of the big tannery locat- ed at Confluence to close down the finishing department at once and to hereafter ship all unfinished leather to Boston. Should the report prove true, it means that about one hundred skill- ed workmen residing at Confluence and Ursina will be thrown out of em- ployment. The announcement that the finishing department at the tan- nery was to close down indefinitely is said to have caused great uneasiness, as the residents, especially business men, regard it as the worst “black eye” they have received since the tannery was erected about ten years ago. A report is current at Confluence thai the tannery will be closed down in all de- partments in a short time. The owners of the tannery are Boston people. The U. 8. Civil Service Commission will hold examinations during Septem- ber and October, in several places in each state to secure young men and women for the government service. There are now 126,423 positions in the classified civil service,being an increase of 46,736 in six years. There were 7, 972 persons appointed between July 1, 1901, and April 15, 1902, beginning at the rate of 10,080 for the year. There will probably be 11,000 appointments next year. Salaries at appointment vary from $660 to $1,200 a year with liberal promotions afterward. All appoint- ments are for life, and for most posi- tions only a common school education is required. Politics or religion is not considered. Those desiring to take ex- aminations of this kind can get full in- formation about them, free, by writing to the Columbian Correspondence Col- lege, Washington, D. C., and asking for its Civil Service Catalogue for 1902. . PRE Two From the Berlin Record. Mr. W. D. Althouse, who sold his mining property along the Berlin branch to the Somerset Coal Company, is preparing to engage in the mining business near Mt. Savage, Md. He has purchased the Neff farm, consisting of 233 acres, paying $32,000 for the same, and will begin at once the erection of a mining plant. The union men employed at the Smokeless mines quit work Monday and have been off duty since. The trouble is on account of some non-un- ion men who are employed at the mines. President Daniel Young was here and held a conference with General Mana- ger Fisher, who came from Pittsburg, but no agreement was reached. The Smokeless is operating with a partial force. Ready to Yield. “T used DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve for piles and found it a certain cure,” says S. R. Meredith, Willow Grove, Del. Operations unnecessary to cure piles. They always yield to DeWitts Witch Hazel Salve. Cures skin diseases, all kinds of wounds. Accept no counter- feits. E. H. Miller. West Salisbury Grain Elevator Burned. The West Salisbury grain elevator building and nearly all its contents went up in smoke at an early hour this morning. It is not known how the fire originated, as nothing unusual was no- ticed when the owner, Mr. Joseph Pat- ton, went to the engine room at about 5 o'clock to start his fire under the boiler. While he was eating breakfast at about 6 o'clock, smoke was seen coming out of the building near the roof. The alarm was promptly given, but it was only an instant until the whole building was wreathed in flames. A large crowd soon assembled, and by heroic work, all the other buildings that stood near were saved, except Lewis Emrich’s stable, which was also consumed. In the elevator building was a large stock of hay, grain, flour and feed, salt, oil, ete., and Mr. Patton also kept a stock of groceries and the West: Salisbury postoffice in one corner of the building. The postoffice equip- ments and a portion of the groceries were saved; but Mr. Patton’s loss is nevertheless very heavy. He carried $3,500 insurance,but his loss'is estimat- ed at not less than $5,000. IHe has not vet decided whether he will rebuild or not, but we hope he will be able to do so. “Joe” is a popular, good-hearted fellow, and much sympathy is felt for him. tg Was Wasting Away. The following letter from Robert R. Watts, of Salem, Mo., is instructive. “I have been troubled with kidney dis- ease for the last five years. I lost flesh and never felt well and doctored with leading physicians and tried all reme- dies suggested without relief. Finally I tried Foley’s Kidney Cure and less than two bottles completely cured me and I am now sound and well” E. H. Miller. Headquarters United Mine Work- ers of Ameriea, Wilkes- Barre District. WILKES-BARRE, Pa,, June 20, 1902. To Tue Pusric:—The mineworkers of the Anthracite region of Pennsyl- vania went on strike on May 12, 1902, after months of tutile negotiations in an honorable endeavor to reach an amicable settlement with the million- aire coal barons; and only after every possible means of adjustment by con- ciliation had besn exhausted did they resort to a suspension of work to se- cure a living wage and conditions of employment that, as human beings and American citizens, they believe they are entitled to. Every man, only ex- cepting officials, has joined the ranks of the strikers; and the companies in a desperate effort to defeat them have employed an army of armed guards under pretense of protecting their prop- erties, and are offering high wages to men in various parts of the state to ac- cept this ignoble employment. Every man who at this time accepts a posi- tion with any anthracite coal company, is arraying himself against his brother and becoming a tool in the hands of the corporations to tighten the bonds of the toiling millions of our country whose only means of defense is by join- ing tdgether and demanding their rights by conciliation, arbitration or strikes. Therefore as peace-loying and law-abiding people they appeal to every man to remain away from the Anthra- cite coal region until they win their present battle and secure fer them- selves and their posterity the God- given rights warranted to all men, without regard to race, color or creed, by the laws of our beloved country. ‘Wy. CArNE, President. Ww. H. Evans, Secretary. Spring Fever. Spring fever is another name for biliousness. It is more serious than most people think. A torpid liver and inactive bowels mean a poisoned sys- tem. If neglected, serious illness may follow such symptoms. DeWitt’s Lit- tle Early Risers remove all danger by stimulating the liver, opening the bow- els and cleansing the system of impuri- ties. Safe pills. Nevergripe. “I have taken De Witt’s Little Early Risers for torpid liver every spring for years,” writes R. M. Everly, Moundsville, W. Va. “They do me more good than any- thing I have ever tried.” E. H. Miiler. ‘New Town in Garrett County, Md. Swallow Falls, about 9 miles north- west of Oakland, which has heretofore only been known as a point of interest for tourists, is now to become a real live town with stores, hotel and a large lumber mill. Kendall Bros., who re- cently purchased the Knabb & Co. mill and other properties, did not acquire this picturesque spot, and it is still the property of Knabb & Co. The owners have had a force of men at work cleaning up the surroundings of the Swallow Falls, and the Messrs. Kendall have extended their narrow guage railroad to the falls and erected a large mill, a store and other buildings nearby. There is now no doubt that the place will soon be a hustling town with a large number of inhabitants,and what a few years ago was a desolate spot will hum with the wheels. of in- dustry.— Oakland Journal. 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 cures all forms of kidney and bladder diseases. E. H. Miller. een en Hospital for Windber. Physicians and business men of Wind- ber and Scalp Level are agitating a project to have a general hospital built in the thriving coal town. Those in- terested think that the Berwind-White Company could be induced to provide a site for the institution, probably $50,- 000 could be raised, while it was also expected that state aid for the project could be secured. A prominent Windber physician said recently, however, that it is’ not likely that the scheme can be matured in the near future, unless it is done without state aid. “A hospital is .needed in Somerset county,” he said, “and there is little doubt that state aid could be secured for one, but it would have to be located nearer the center of the county, so as to be accessible to patients from the towns along the Somerset & Cambria branch.” fie A Peddler’s License. A buggy peddler was compelled to pay a city license in Colfax, the other day.—Exchange. Just it in a nutshell. The business men of Colfax, who pay the taxes and employ thousands of workmen, object to paying all the city expenses and then allowing outsiders to enjoy the privileges - without paying a cent. Nevertheless, some Free-Traders often tell us that we Americans ought to pay the whole cost of our government and allow foreign business firms all the benefits of our home market without money and without price. Their mot- to is: Charity should always begin abroad. et ctl meres Foley’s Honey and Tar heals lungs and stops the cough.
