LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS. Bir. George Ruhl, of Meyersdale, was x business caller at Tur Star office, Wednesday. Avoid serious results of kidney or sadder disorder by taking Foley’s Kid- pey Cure. E. H. Miller. 9-25 Owing to the editor’s enforced ab- sence, this week, much local and gen- eral news must of necessity go by the beard. We regret this, but it can’t be helped. We this week reject a piece of manu- seript because the writer wrote on both sides of the paper. Life is too short to waste time in a print shop on esanuscript of that kind. Good morning, Mr. Voter! Have you paid your taxes yet? If you have not, gemember that you must have them paid not later than Oct. 4th, if you want 30 vote at the general election on Nov. 4h. Stewart Smith, who went out to the Pacific coast, some time ago, returned on Tuesday evening. We have not yet had the pleasure of an interview with bim,so can not tell what was the result of his western trip. Rev. J. H. Knepper, of Meyersdale, was a caller at Tae STAR office on Wed- mesday. He said he was holding meet- ings in Salisbury every night this week. Preparaty service on Sunday at 2p. m,, and Communion at 7 p. m. “I had a running sore on my leg for seven years,” writes Mrs. Jas. Forest of Chippewa Falls, Wis, “and spent hun- dreds of dollars in trying to get it heal- #4. Two boxes of Banner Salve entire- 1y cured it.” No other salve so heal- ing. E. H. Miller. 9-25 A picked nine of Rockwood boys went over to Salisbury, Monday, and were Beat by the baseball aggregation of that town by a score of 14 to 7. We arelsorry for “our boys”,but they should stay closer home,—Rockwood Gazette. W. 8. Easton came home on a vaca- tion, last Saturday, and will remain a short time with his family. “Scottie” 3s still in the employ of the Rand Drill Co., and since his July vacation has spent most of his time at Roseville, W.

Inst., Cedar Rap- ids, Ia. + 10-1 JA clergyman was much surprised one dny at receiving a basket of potatoes | from an old woman in his parish, with a message saying that as he had re- marked in his sermon on the previous Sanday that some “common taters” {eommentators) did not agree with him, she had sent him some real good ones. A preacher administered a rebuke recently to a member of his fiock who had the reputation of taking his little booze when he felt like it. The preach- er meeting the brother and getting on ihe windward side of his breath, said: “Aly brothrer, you may look like a chris- dian, and you may act like a christain, but your breath smells like hell.”—Ex. | Last Sunday we noticed a young guan just out of knee pants, escorting » young lady still in short dresses. As they strolled out on Bridge street, his smiles indicated that he felt like a tub of butter swimming in honey, cologne, putmeg and cranberries, while she Jpoked as though something was trav- geling through her nerves on feet of diamonds, escorted by several cupids in golden chariots drawn by angels shaded with honeysuckles, and the whole spread over with a melted rain- | bow. God bless the kids. Let them spark. Like chewing tobacco, it some- 3imes keeps them from practicing worse riges.—Ex. ee Ap If Banner Salv doesn’t cure your piles, your money will be returned. It is the most heal- ing salve. E. H. Miller. | | . Editor and Publisher. | An exchange says: “Reports are in | circulation that a movement is on foot | for the purchase of the Huntingdon & Broad Top Railroad and Coal Company by the New York Realty & Construe- tion Company (the reorganized George A. Fuller Company). The road ex- tends from Huntingdon to Mt. Dallas, Pa., a distance of forty-five miles. It is practically under the influence of the Pennsylvania.” As a rule a man will feel well satis- fied if he can hobble around on cruteh- es two or three weeks after spraining his ankle, and it is usually two or three months before he has fully recovered. This is an unnecessary loss of time, for in many cases in which Camberlain’s Pain Balm has been promptly and freely applied, a complete cure bas been effected in less than oné week’s time, and in some cases within three days.

Earlier in his course his father was somewhat anxious about him and wrote to an of- ficial of the academy, a contemporary of his own, asking how the lad was get- ting along. He received this reassur- ing, if somewhat dissembling reply: “You needn’t worry. The boy stands higher in everything than you did in anything.” The General tells this story himself. Mr. D. H. Daugherty, well known throughout Mercer and Sumner coun- ties, W. Va., most likely owes his life to the kindness of a neighbor. He was almost hopelessly afflicted with diar- rhoea; was attended by two physicians who gave him little, if any, relief, when | a neighbor learning of his serious con- | dition, brought him a bottle of Cham- t berlain’s Colic, Choelra and Diarrhoea Remedy, which cured him in less than | twenty-four hours. For sale by E. H. | Miller. 9-25 | | Our hustling Racket Store man, J. H. Zimmerman, has been looking up bargains for the benefit of the people of Salisbury and vicinity. We all know be is a wide-awake man and can tell a bargain at sight. He likes to buy in carload lots, hence can sell away down, He is a square and up- right man to do business. with, as his many customers will testify. This year his Holiday stock will be much better than it was last year, and everybody knows that his last year’s Holiday stock was the best stock of Racket goods in Somerset county. 1t David Blaine Miller arrived home from Philadelphia, Wednesday. Since commencement of Haverford college he has been filling the responsible posi- tion of assistant paymaster of the Pennsylvania railroad at the Broad street station. Dave bas won laurels as an author, some of his productions having found their way into the lead- ing literary periodicals. His language is chaste and clear and his thoughts comprehensive and: logical. He is also a singer of much talet, being employed at a good salary as tenor in the choir of the First Presbyterian church of Bryn Mawr, one of the richest churches in the vicinity of Philadelphia. He will return to Haverford about September 20 to begin his senior year.— Rockwood Gazette. The German Baptist Brethren Church of America has determined to establish and maintain an extensive hospital,and it is expected that the institution will be located at Elgin. The project has so far developed as the appointment of a committee in whose hands the work has been placed. The committe iscom- posed of C.\W.Lahman, Franklin Grove ; David Rowland, Lanark; I. B. Parker, North Manchester, Ind.; W. R. Miller and H. B. Albugh; Chicago; Galen B. Royer. Elgin. It is proposed by the church to raise $50,000 and make it im- mediately available for the purpose. A few years ago the Brethren publishing house was moved from Mt. Morris to Elgin and it is now one of the most ex- | tensive concerns of the kind in the state. Elgin will make a strong bid, and it is more than probable that the hospital will be located there.—Lanark [ (T11.) Gazatte. | The state game law provides that the | open season, i. e. the time when game | can be killed, is as follows: key. pheasants, grouse, quail, partridge, prairie chicken, October 15 to Decem- | | ber 15; web-footed wild fowl, such as ducks and geese, September 1 to May 1; ployer, July 15 to January 15; wood- | cock, during July and October 15 to [ Dee. 15; rail and reed birds, Septem- | ber 1 to December 1;elk and deer,dogs | must not be used, November 1 to De- | cember 1; squirrels, October 15 to De- cember 15; hares and rabbits, Novem- | ber 1 to December 15.

Bishop, of Agnew, Mich, | says, “I have used Foley’s Honey and { Tar in three very severe cases of pneu- | monia with good results in every case.” | Refuse substitutes. E. H. Miller. A Few Spicy Ones From the Cum- berland Courier. No matter how tight a girl’s shoes are she never likes to acknowledge the corn. If you wish to offend a child, under- take to wipe its nose. A child that don’t resent that won’t amount to corn- shucks. It seems the popular thing in many, many churches that bafore the sins of members are investigated their finan- cial standing is investigated. The man who is smart in a country community is the man the sharpers are looking for. When they see him and go for him they generally get him. American girls are the nicest, pout- iest, prettiest, stubbornest, most agree- able, most disagreeable creatures on earth. We can’t get along with them or without them. Some men are just a little too-too in bowing to some ladies, for when a man is standing on his feet and bends his head down to the ground to be polite 1t is difficult to tell which end is up. With a young man there is no place like the home of his best girl, be it ever so humble. Fact is, the more humble it is the more he loves it. love in a cottage beats it in a brick mansion ev- ery time. If you don’t believe, get a little gal-lan-try. A Cresaptown man came in Monday and paid four years of back subserip- tion, and never said a word about that he had ordered the paper stopped. This is rare; nine out of ten who get back on their subscriptions chew the rag about having ordered the paper stop- ped, but they never say a word about having settled up in full. There are some honest people yet. A Boy’s Wild Ride For Life. With family around expecting him to die, and a son riding for life. 18 miles, to get Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, W. H. Brown, of Leesville, Ind. endured death’s agonies from asthma, but this wonderful medicine gave instant relief and soon cured him. He writes: “I now sleep soundly every night.” Like mar- velous cures of Consumption, Pneu- monia, Bronchitis, Coughs, Colds and Grip prove its matchless merit for all Throat and Lung troubles. Guaranteed bottles 50c. and $1.00. Trial bottles free at E. H. Miller’s drug store. Taken From the Oakland, Md., Newspapers. The Bible tells us that the meek shall inherit the earth, but in these days the fellow who wants the earth isuv’t built on those lines. The Livengood Coal & Coke Co. has been incorporated, with authorized capital of $250,000, to mine coal and manufacture coke, at Kingwood, W.Va. Mr. Wm. White who lives a few miles south of Oakland and is one of the pro- gressive farmers of our section, raised this year from six acres of Fultz wheat, 243 bushels, or an average yield of 40% bushel to the acre. Mr. Jacob S. Miller, of Grantsville, who went over to the South Braneh of the Potomac, last week, with a party of friends to fish,passed through Oakland, Monday, on his return home, reporting that two hundred bass had been caught by the party. Ephriam Knox, of ner Beckman, who who was badly cut a at dance ten days ago by Solomon Bittinger, is recovering. Bittinger has not yet been arrested,the report coming to Oakland that he is in Wild tur- | elk, deer, fawn, wild turkey, pheasant, grouse, quail, partridge, or woodcock for the purpose of selling the same. It is also unlawful for any one person to | kill in any one day more than 10 ruf- fed grouse,commonly called pheasants, or more than 15 quail or more than 10 woodcock, or more than two wild tur- | keys, or to kill in any one season more hiding at some point over. the line in Pennsylvania. Isaac Thompson, Jr., of near Kear- ney, this county, reports an enormous | oats yield this year. He sowed nine | bushels by measure of the new Climax | variety trom which he reaped 132 dozen | sheaves out of which he tnreshed 230 bushels, by measure, they weighing 39 | | 1bs., to the bushel, showing a yield by weight of 280 bushels. ee. - A Parson’s Noble Act. “I want all the world to know,” writes Rev. C. J. Budlong, of Ashaway, R. I, “what a thoroughly good and reliable medicine I found in Electric Bitters. They cured me of jaundice and liver | troubles that had caused me great suf- fering for many years.For a genuine,all- round cure they excel anything I ever saw.” Electric Bitters are the surprise of all for their wonderful workin Liver, | Kindey and Stomach troubles. Don’t | fail to try them. Only 50 cts. Satis- | faction is guaranteed by E. H. Miller. | | | | | | Still a Few of the Didn’t-Know-It- Was-Loaded Fools Left. | Mr. Charles Beck, of Piedmont, while | handling a revolver, which he thought | was free of cartridges, pointed the same | several times at his sister Lizzie in a playful manner. After teasing his sis- ter he pointed the revolver at his faith- ful dog and told him “it was time for him to die.” Thinking the gun was not loaded, he pulled the trigger, and the bullet striking the dog in the head, in- stantly killed him, says the Oakland Republican. A New Jersey Editor’s Testimonial. M. T. Lynch, Editor of the Philips- burg, N. J., Daily Post, writes: “I have used many kinds of medicines for coughs and colds in my family, but never anything so good as Foley’s Hon- ey and Tar. 1 cannot say too much in + praise of it.” E. H. Miller. SOUTHERN INDUSTRIES. Great Growth in Financial and Manufacturing Affairs in Ten Years. Regarding the industrial growth of the South, the following figures com- piled by the Southern Railway Compa- ny, show the great upward movement in the financial and manufacturing af- fairs of that section of the Union: “The census bulletin shows,” says the compiler, “that while in 1880 the value of farm products in the South exceed the value of manufactured products by more than $200,000,000, in 1900 the value of the manufactured products exceeded the value of farm products by more than $190,000,000. During the same period the number of persons engaged in agriculture in the South increased 36 per cent. while the number of wage earners in manufacturing increased 157 per cent., both rates of increase in the South being larger than the rates in the country at large. “The increase of capital invested in the South was 348 per cent. in the whole United States 252 per cent. The increase in value of all products in the South was 220 per cent., in the United States at large 142 per cent. The in- crease in the value of farm property in the South was 92 per cent., in the Uni- ted States 67 per cent. Theincrease in the value of farm products in the South was 92 per cent., in the United States 113 per cent.” — ee Not Doomed For Life. “I was treated for three years by good doctors,” writes W. A. Greer, Mc- Connellsville, O., “for Piles and Fistula, but, when all failed, Bucklen’s Arnica Salve cured me in two weeks.” Cures Burns, Bruises, Cuts, Corns, Sores, Eruptions, Salt Rheum, Piles or no pay. 25¢. at E. H. Miller’s drug store. a A— Justices Liable to Fine. There was a law passed some years ago that is of special interest to Jus- tices of the Peace, and one not gener- ally understood. We refer to the-law of June 11, 1883, which requires Jus- tices of the Peace to make a true return of a transcript from their dockets to the clerk of the court of quarter sessions, where persons are bound over to court, within five days after the binding over. Their failure to make the return to the clerk of the court within the time speci- fied is declared a misdemeanor, and upon conviction the officer shall be fin- ed in a sum not exceeding three hun- dred dollars.—Somerset Standard. Cured Hemorrhages of the Lungs. “Several years since my lungs were so badly affected that I had many hemorrhages,” ‘writes A. M. Ake, of Wood, Ind. “J took treatment with several physicians without benefit. I then started to take Foley’s Honey and Tar and my lungs are now as sound as a bullet. I recommend it in advanced stages of .lung trouble.” E. H. Miller. From the Meyersdale Republican. The Bell Telephone Company will undoubtedly build into Meyersdale in the near future. Wm. G. Theurer, special agent for the company, has been in Meyersdale for the past week call- ing on our business men to get them interested in having the line built into Meyersdale. He has been meeting with good success, and we have but little doubt that it will be but a short time until we will have long distance telephone connection. J. W. Peck, W. H. Poorbaugh, of Meyersdale, and Louis and Jonas Peck, of Savage, departed on Tuesday eve- ning for Toronto, Canada, where they will attend the great Toronto fair and Exposition, and where they will also purchase some blooded stock to im- prove the standard of stock that the Peck Bros. are now noted for. Their trip will also include a visit to Niagara Falls and Buffalo. M. D. Miller, the weil known machin- ist, accompanied by his wife and chil- dren. arrived here on Friday evening from Los Angeles, Cal. Mr. Miller is looking a great deal better than he did when he went west, and is enjoying better health, but he is not stuck on southern California for a summer cli- mate, and he was glad to get back to old Pennsylvania once more. He will take charge of his old shop again and his many customers will be pleased to see him back once more. Wilson Bockes, of Summit township, was arrested on a charge of rape pre- ferred against him by Ida Shoemaker, of the same township, last week, and was taken to Somerset and lodged in jail. He was released on $500 bail on young lady asserts that he is guilty.
