May good luck attend him in his new location. Scott Hartline and wife have moved to Meyersdale. Tur Star will keep them posted on the doings in and about Salisbury. We wish them prosperity ih their new home. We forgot to mention in our issue of last week that W. B. Stevanus and Charles H. Beal, Jr., are setting up the eigars to the boys. Each is the proud father of a new boy. ®wr friend Tom Daugherty orders Tie Star sent to his father, J. W. Daugherty, at McClains, W. Va. This makes two “subs” Tom is paying for, and he has our thanks. “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- ed. Two boxes of Banner Salve entire- ly cured it.” No other salve so heal- ing. E. H. Miller. 9-25 Philip Rhoads, Jr., the deputy sheriff who shot and killed Robt. Maurer, near Sipesville, some time ago, has been found guilty of man-slaughter. - This news comes just as we go to press, and at this moment he has not yet been sentenced. Clayt. Stotler’s famous ‘“hoss,” Pal- estine, easily defeated Prince George in a running race at Frosburg, Md, one day last week. There was very little money bet on the race, hence the Salisbury sports were not much in pocket. Aessrs. Howard, George, Jonas and Tewis Keim were all visiting at their old home in this borough during the past week, but departed for their homes on Wednesday. They were all looking well and feeling well, except Lewis, who is just recovering from a seige of typhoid fever. . Miss Eva Livengood, after visiting a week or more with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John J. Livengood, returned to Lynchburg, Va., Wednesday, where she is holding a position as stenograph- er for a business firm. Miss Cochrane, 2 Virginia friend of Eva’s, was here visiting with her.

Gnagey, both of Garrett coun- ty, Md. The happy event is to take place at 7 o’clock, Wednesday evening, Sept. 24th, at the home of the groom’s parents, Mr and Mrs. 8. C. Loechel. "Phe bride is a daughter of Jonas E. Gnagey, late of Grantsville. We ac- knowledge receipt of an invitation to be present, but may not be able to go. in the meantime we extend our con- gratulations in advance. YOUNG MEN from- ocratic, but if any Republican can be elected in that county, Lew is the man. Here’s hoping for his election. Judge O. R. Keim, of Falls City, Neb., arrived in this locality recently to visit friends. He is one of the Republican leaders of Richardson county, Neb. and has twice been elected to the of- | fice of Probate Judge. His father, we believe, was Christian Keim, who was born and reared in Elk Lick township. When Judge F. J. Kooser opened court at Somerset, last week, be said a few things for the benefit of saloon- keepers, reading them a fiat regarding their having slot machines and other gambling devices in their bars. The Judge said that such conduct is likely to interfere with the granting of liquor licenses next year to parties convicted of maintaining such devices in a pub- lic house. Last week one of Salisbury’s attract- ive but.fickle girls wanted to commit suicide, or at least she pretended that she did. Some people who should have known better, actually tried to prevent her from doing the deed. If a’fool girl talks suicide she should always be en- couraged to carry out the threat. There | are a number of people in this town not capable of doing anything better than committing suicide. As a rule a man will feel well satis- fied if he can hobble around on crutch- 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 has been effected in less than one week’s time. and in some cases within three days. For sale by E. H. Miller. 9-25 Our sympathy is extended to Broth- er Henry P. Snyder, editor and pub- lisher of the Connellsville Courier, in the death of his estimable wife, who died in a Pittsburg hospitable, Wed- nesday of last week. A good wife is more to be desired than all the riches of the world, and by the death of Mrs. Snyder her husband has lost a most estimable and loving companion. Mrs. Snyder was a most noble woman, and, next to God’s angels, a good wife is the noblest of all His creation. 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- 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 worthy young triend Eli J. Egan, who for several years has been a promi- nent school teacher in Elk Lick town- ship, has gone to Union Bridge, Md. where he is taking a course in several branches at the Maryland Collegiate Institute, and at the same time teach- ing other branches in the said institu- tion. Eliis a young man who deserves the success he is achieving, as he stari- ed in life under very adverse circum- stances. He is rapidly passing many young men who have had better op- portunities. Grandmother Findlay, the aged wid- ow of the late Senator Hiram Findlay, died last Sunday morning at an early hour at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Lichty, on Gay street. Mrs. Findlay was the oldest lady in our town, being in her 91st year when death came. She was the mother of Mrs. W. J. Lichty and Mrs. Charles Kaufman, both of whom survive her. Deceased was high- ly esteemed in the community for her many good qualities. The funeral took place on Monday afternoon, conducted by Rev. H. 8S. May, of the Reformed church. Have you ever noticed that the fel- Jows who plead poverty when asked to pay their newspaper subscriptions, store bilis, meat bills, coal bills, ete., usually have considerable money to “hlow” for beer, booze, billards, ten pins, pool and chances of getting vic- timized at the slot machines? Some men are too infernal “onery” and un- principled to be fit companions for yel- low dogs. Some of these fellows allow their wives and children to go without sufficient food and clothing in order that their own foolish habits may be fostered. Hon. Wm. R. Getty, one of the most Md., died at his home in Grantsville, Md. last Friday. He served his peo- ple well as a member of the Maryland State Senate. several terms, as well as in other capacities. He was indeed a grand old man, generous and open- handed at all times, and greatly belov- ed by all who knew him. He was aged probably 75 years, and for the last ten years or more was in delicate health. Garrett county owes him a debt of gratitude she can never repay, as he was ever in the forefront of all move- ments pertaining to the welfare of Western Maryland and Garrett coun- ty in particular. He is survived by two daughters, four sons, and a wife | to whom we extend our sympathy.

Information has reached here from Fulton county, Pa, that George Me- chen, whose dog had contracted a dis- ease, decided to kill the animal with dynamite. He took him into the woods, tied two sticks of dynamite to his tail and lit the fuse. The fuse siz- zed and Mr. Mechen started for home on a dead run. He had failed to tie the dog to a tree, as intended, and the dog followed at his heels. Mechen bolted into the front door of his house, the dog running under the summer kitchen, and the next instant the building was blown into smithereens, as was also the dog. All the glass in the windows of the main building was shattered and one side of it badly damaged. The summer kitchen contained all the cook- ing utensils of the family. Mechen’s wife and baby happened to be in the garden when the explosion occured. They were thrown to the ground by force of the shock.—Baltimore Ameri- can. oe If Banner Salve doesn’t cure your piles, your money will be returned. It is the most heals ing salve. E._H. Miller. The Aged Made Younger. Feeble persons have found the use of Speer’s Port Wine and Burgundy a superior medicine, because it is the best restorative and blood making. Nothing equals it for old people. 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. Mr. J. J. Hoblitzell, of this city, and Mr. Oliver Hoblitzell, of Baltimore, Md., are still making big purchases of mineral rights in this county. Lately they have been operating in the Jen- ner field, and on last Saturday Mrs. Sarah J. Hoffman conveyed to them a tract of 401 acres in Lincoln and Jen- ner townships, for which she received $41,074.37 in cash. This land lies along the south fork of the Quemahoning creek, and is only about a mile from the line of the Quemahoning branch of the B. & O., and is easy of access. This land is underlaid by three or four viens of coal, and among them are the two veins that the Merchants Coal Compa- ny are now operating at Boswell. 1t is now said that the Hoblitzell’s own or control between 30.000 and 40,000 acres in the Jenner field that they have ac- quired in the last few months. There is no doubt that the rumor that the Somerset Coal Company would pur- chase 20,000 acres of coal lands is cor- rect.—Meyersdale Republican. — -— Used For Pneumonia. Dr. C. J. Bishop, of Agnew, Mich,, says, 1 have used Foley’s Honey and Tar iu three very seVere cases of pneu- monia with good results in every 2ase.” Refuse substitutes. KE. H. Miller. ee Rev. J. A. Hamilton, of Salisbury, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church in Rockwood, as well as three other stations in the charge, preached a strong sermon to his congregation here last Sunday evening. in which he made many lucid points on the derelic- tion of duty so apparent in the present- day Christianity, especially as to its habit of compromising with the devil in selling memberships to Mammon. He made clear what the world has ob- served and criticised for a number of years, that the man of wealth, be he dishonest, licentious and obscene, may be far more influential, and very often is so, than the unpretentious poor man who gives only what his small income and personal obligations will permit. It was a sermon calculated to open the eyes and quicken the consciences of those who heard it. Mr. Hamilton will preach his last sermon here on Sunday morning, September 28, before the an- nual conference. It is expected that the service in the Rockwood church will be largely increased next year, as the little congregation shows unmis- takable signs of growth and renewed activity. While Methodism has double the membership of any other protest- ant church in America, and exceeds in numbers that of any other protestant denomination in Pennsylvania, it is not so strong in Somerset county. Two church edifices of that denomination— one each at Windber and Coal Run— have been dedicated this summer, and the Meyersdale congregation has begun the erection of what will be much the finest church edifice in the county. So it would appear that Methodist stock is at par even among the hills of Somer- set, where it has had to make a strug- gle to get a foothold.—Rockwood Ga- zette. A Sad Disappointment. Ineffective liver medicine is a disap- pointment, but you don’t want to purge, strain and break the glands of the stomach and bowels. DeWitt’s Little Early Risers never disappoint. They cleanse the system of all poison and putrid matter and do it so gently that one enjoys the pleasant effects. They are a tonic to the liver. Cure bilious- ness, torpid liver and prevent fever. E. remains were laid to rest last Sunday. * H. Miller. At a meeting of the stockholders of the Manor Land and Oakland Railroad Company, held at Swallow Falls on Saturday last, the following officers | were elected: President, Jacob L. Kendall ; treasurer, S. A. Kendall ; sec- retary, N. N. Rosenburg, of Baltimore. The following were elected directors: Jacob L. Kendall, of Pittsburg; S. A, Kendall, of Meyersdale, Pa.; U. 8. Kendall, of Fairmont, W. Va.; Henry Krug, of Krug, Md.; Gilmore 8S. Hamill, of Oakland, Md.; H. E. Friend, of Friendsville, Md. The paid-up capital stock amounts to $50,000. There has been considerable talk of extending the road through from Swallow Falls, the terminus of the Confluence and Oakland railroad, to Oakland, a dis- tance of 12 miles, but this will not be done unless the railroad company can purchase some valuable timber lands between the two places, for which it 1s now negotiating.—Oakland Republi- can. 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. The Standard is Entitled to Anoth- er Guess. Somerset had an interesting visitor last Friday in the person of Levi Shoe- maker, of Berlin, who was here on legal matters. If Mr. Shoemaker should live until January—and he looks as if he might live for a number of years— he will celebrate his ninety-first birth day anniversary. Guessing at his age one would not take him to be over 75, for he is more active than a great ma- jority of persons at that age. He walks without the aid of a cane and does not wear glasses. He is probably the old- est person in Somerset county.—Som- erset Standard. When it comes to old men, Salisbury must not be overlooked. Adam Sipple, the father of Mrs. B. F. Krausse, who is a resident of this borough, is past 94 years of age and is still able to do con- siderable gardening and other work. Mr. Sipple bids fair to reach the 100 mark. Some of the old people who have recently died in this borough are Mrs. Hiram Findlay, who was in her 91st year, and Messrs. S. C. Livengood and John Wright, who were both past 92. Besides, we have some 18-year- olds who are much older and smarter than their fathers. The Standard is entitled to another guess. 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 work in Liver, Kindey and Stomach troubles. Dor’t fail to try them. Only 50 cts. Satis- faction is guaranteed by E. H. Miller. -——— Coal Run News.
