who shot and killed Robt. Maurer, near
Sipesville, some time ago, has been
found guilty of man-slaughter. - This

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

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.

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. His

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.

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.

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.
