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!

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

will endure no more of them.

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. Rest

for paying your debts that any man
may well feel proud of. If we had all
such patrons as you, we would never

grow smaller, old boy.
Judge and Mrs. F. J. Kooser return-
ed home on Monday. The Judge was
away about ten days. Mrs. Kooser
| had been visiting in New York City
for several weeks, where their daugh-
ter, Miss Mary, just graduated from an
art school. Mr. and Mrs. Kooser ac-
companied Miss Mary to Boston, where
‘she will take a further six-weeks’
| course in an art institution before re-
| turning home. While
| land they visited many of the points of
historic interest, and enjoyed several
| of the delightful ocean coast trips that
| may be indulged in in that vieinity.—

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.

the residence of John Swartzwelder, on

kitchen at the time, had a narrow es-
cape from being killed. The electric
fluid splintered the floor between her
feet, but we are glad to report that

few slight burns, the woman was not
injured.
