Last Thursday afternoon this section of country was visited by quite a storm. A good many trees were blown down, but that was all the damage that was done. The richest joke of the season is the fact that there are a few Democrats who are foolish enough to believe that Pattison will be our next Governor. The idea! Five cases of smallpox are reported from Shamrock, the little mining vil- lage just north of Rockwood. The vie- tims are being treated by a Rockwood physician.

Some of our people went to Pitts- burg to spend the 4th, where they could see “Teddy” and hear him make a speech. All agree that Roosevelt is all right and that we never had a better President. Joseph F. Joy, who is holding down a good and responsible position with a big coal company at Shire Oaks, Pa., spent the glorious 4th with his parents in Salisbury, returning to his post of duty on Sunday morning. It is reported that several brutal fights took place at Rockwood on the 4th. With a sensation implicating a preacher in that town, a number of fights and other disturbances, Rock- wood is becoming notorious. The Shanksville correspondent of the Somerset Standard bemoans the fact that Shanksville is afflicted with “whis- kyanity, profanity and cigarette insan- ity.” Briefly, the disease, then, is trip- lettanity.—Jonhstown Democrat.

Engle, who became a moth- er one day last week, is dangerously ill, but we are glad to say that hopes are entertained for her recovery. Her babe, however, is dead, a fact which we are sorry to note. Much sympathy is felt for Mr. and Mrs. Engle. Our friend Israel Schrock informs us that he expects to sell his property east of town and move to Southern California before another winter comes.

He says he saw a man in the show biting the heads off of real, live rattlesnakes, then eating the snakes as a boy would eat bananas. Just what kind of red circus lemonade Elijah had been drinking, he did not say. Hon. B. Welfley, accompanied by his wife and daughter, visited their numer- ous Salisbury friends several days dur- ing the past week.

He is one of the most kind-hearted men we ever knew, and ‘to have a chat with the good old man always affords us much pleasure. May he and his estimable wife have all the comforts old age is entitled to and few of its attendant ills. Last Saturday night two miscreants who evidently were badly in need of a few pennies, or else very fond of petty thieving, loosened the chewing gum slot machine fastened on the outside of W. D. Thompson’s store front and were about to make away with 1t, when it tell and made enough noise to attract the attention of Policeman Joy. As the officer at once hastened to the scene, he saw two fellows take a rapid sneak. They did not take time to pick up the machine, and it was good for them that they didn’t. The officer has a clue to the crime and may yet arrest the guilty persons. Our good-natured friend * Bob” Walker, who is one of our most prompt paying subscribers. called at our sanc- tum on Monday evening to cash up for another year, and, incidentally, to apologize for not paying sooner.

Workmen emploved at lime- stone quarry, one-fourth of a mile | south of this place, last Thursday dis- covered a subterranean passage at | that place which is about eighty feet | deep. At the bottom is a stream of pure limestone water about twelve feet wide and eight feet deep. The sides | and floor of the cave contain some very pretty stalagmitic formations. Messrs. Bert. J. Crabbe and Dov. S. Mullin last | Friday explored the cave, going down | to the bottom with the aid of a rope. | They report the stream of water ice cold, but were not able to get across it on account of it being too cold to swim. I dman Bulletin. the W. S. Easton, who was away from home from about March 3d to July 4th, is here enjoying a short vacation. He is still holding a very responsible posi- tion with the Rand Drill Co., of New York City, and since leaving here in March he spent most of his time in New York, but was also down in the Southern states part of the time. He will return to his employment this week. “Seottie’s” numerous friends are all pleased to give him the glad hand and extend a royal welcome to him. He deserves much credit for what he is making of himself, and to have the “stand-in” he has with a large concern like the Rand Drill Co., re- quires brains and ability. More power to “Scottie” as the days go by. Saves a Woman's Life. To have given up would have meant death for Mrs. Lois Cragg, of Dorches- ter, Mass. For years she had endured untold misery from a severe lung trou- ble and obstinate cough. “Often,” she writes, “I could scarcely breathe and sometimes could not speak. All doc- tors and remedies failed till I used Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption and was completely cured.” Sufferers from Coughs, Colds, Throat and Lung Trouble need this grand remedy, for it never disappoints. Cure is guaranteed by E. H. Miller. Price, 50c. and $1.00. Trial bottles free. Notice to Cow Owners. We are requested to say to the own- ers of cows in this borough that they will do well to strictly obey the cow ordinance, which provides that all cows must be kept off the streets and alleys of this borough at night. The ordi- nance is not being observed by some people, and Officer Joy requests us to give warning to all such and say that if they want to keep from paying fines, they must keep their cows shut up at night. From this date the ordinance will be rigidly enforced. Mother Always Keeps It Handy. “My mother suffered a long time from distressing pains and general ill health due primarily to indigestion,” says L. W. Spalding, Verona, Mo., “Two years ago I got her to try Kodol. She grew better at once and now, at the age of seventy-six, eats anything she wants, remarking that she fears no bad effects as she has her bottle of Kodol handy.” Don’t waste time doctoring symptoms. Go after tke cause. If your stomach is sound your health will be good. Kodol rests the stomach and strengthens the body by digesting your food. It is nature’s own tonic. KE. H. Miller. Wabash Railroad Coming Our Way. George Gould is preparing to extend his Wabash system to the Atlantic sea- board and to establish a new deep wa- ter terminal at Drum Point, Md., ac- cording to information given out yes- terday by & competent local authority. The enterprise credited to Mr. Gould contemplates an extension of the Wa- bash eastward from Pittsburg via Greensburg Latrobe, Somerset, Bed- ford and Hustontown, to a connection with the Western Maryland and the Reading near Shippensburg in the Cumberland Valley.— Philadelphia Rec- ord. Don’t Fail to Try This. Whenever an honest trial is given to Electric Bitters for any trouble it is rec- ommended for, a permanent cure will surely be affected. It never fails to tone the stomach, regulate the kidneys and bowels, stimulate the liver, invig- orate the nerves and purify the blood. It’s a wonderful tonic for run-down systems. Electric Bitters positively cures Kidney and Liver Troubles, Stomach Dirorders, Nervousness, Neu- in New Eng- | ralgia, Sleeplessness, Rheumatism, and expels Malaria. Satisfaction guaran- teed by E. H. Miller. Only 50 cents. Tornado Strikes Somerset County. Last Thursday afternoon a regular tornado of no small magnitude swept over portions of Black, Milford and Middlecreek townships, doing thou- sands of dollars worth of damage. Large forest trees were up-rooted and twisted off, whole orchards were de- stroyed and no small amount of dam- age was done to buildings; but no loss of life}is reported. Among those who lost heavily are P. K. Moore, George and Edward Hay, Alex. Newman, Jacob H. Miller, Irvin J. Walker, Jacob N. Walter, John C. Weller, Bruce Dickey and Barney Walker. P. K. Moore is said to be the heaviest loser, his dam- age being estimated at $3,000. Hugh | Denison, the popular and well-known organ and piano agent who resides in ! New Centerville, was in Salisbury this week and said that the ravages of the storm are awful to behold, and that it is a great wonder that no lives were lost. — ————— Vaeation Days.
