Long before the last Republican primary it set np a howl and expressed grave fears that a deal was on thus early in the game that would select our next Congressman from Fayette county. However, as soon as Harvey M. Berk- ley, the bushwacker lawyer of Somer- get, failed to get the nomination in this county, then the old bladder who conducts the Commercial set up anoth- er howl and tried to give reasons why the district nomination should not come to the candidate who won out at And now the same old coyote is howling again. Why? Because the nominee is not a Somerset county man. It now charges that Somerset was sold out and refers to our county as the bargain counter. But nobody cares for old “Lucifer’s” howling and raving. A jackass in his death struggles is expected to kick and paw the air, so let “Lucifer” raise all the fuss he pleases. He is onlyshowing his ears and another portion of his an- atomy that some people may take for his ugly face, but which is not.” There are enough loyal Republicans in Som- erset county to give Cooper about 4,000 majority, and they will see that he gets it. In the meantime, let the Commer- cial continue to help itself to the snow- water. Doctors s Could Not Help Her. “I had kidney trouble for years,” writes Mrs. Raymond Conuer, of Shil- ton, Wash,, and the doctors could not help me. 1 tried Foley’s Kidney Cure and the very first dose gave me relief and I am now cured. I cannot say too much for Foley’s Kidney Cure. E. H. Miller. a Some Court Reforms. - Certain remarks dropped by Judge Kooser during the sessions of court last week ought to bring about an improve- ment in the conduct of the court’s business. One of these remarks referred to the unnecessary delay in getting witnesses before tne grand jury. This delay is not only expensive to the county, but annoying to the court and to all who are affected by it. It has frequently been necessary to send messengers through the town in search of witnesses who had been subpoenaed to attend court and the proceedings of the grand jury or the court have been delayed until such witnesses were found. This practice on the part of witnesses been so indulged in to look at it as a matter of course that that they would be rent for when want- ed and thus they loitered about town at their pleasure. But the Court very properly put its foot down upon | this practice and it will be discontinued, indulge in it will pay for { the indulgence. Judge rected the District that they had come has Kooser has di- Attorney to ask had had | ; | witness who is not in the court-room when called, and ordered that the cost | of issuing and serving such attachment | ! shall be paid by the recreant witness. | It is safe to assume that this form of | trifling with the Court will be broken up. as it should be. Another reform ordered by the Court | is one that will break up a practice of justices of the peace who multiply cases in order that they may multiply fees. Two cases hefore the court last week brought out this order. The charge in both cases was “resisting an officer.” The offenses, if any, grew out of the same transaction, or in other words, both offenders resisted the same arrest at the same time, and they should bave been jointly indicted; but the justice of the peace made separate returns and the affair came into court as two cases. Judge Kooser ordered that the two cases be combined and tried as one case, and that only costs for one case be paid. This reform is highly commendable, though it may not meet with the approval of justices who have found the practice profitable. —Somerset Standard, A Remarkable Record, Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy has a remarkable record. It bas been in use for over thirty years, during which time many million bottles have been sold and used. It has long been the standard and main reliance in the treat- ment of croup in thousands of homes, yet duriag all this time no case has ever been reported tothe manufactures in which it failed to effect a cure. When given as soon as the child be- comes hoarse or even as soon as the croupy cough appears, it will prevent the attack. It is pleasant to take, many children like it. It contains no opium or other harmful substance and may be given as confidently to a baby as to an adult. For sale by E. H. Miller. OBITUARY. Dearit oF Mrs. MAGDELANE SCHROCK. Mrs. Magdelane Schrock died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Christian Kreger, Thursday, Aug. 28th, aged 87 years, one month and four days. She suffered nearly two months from an in- ward paralytic stroke, her physician, Dr. Moore, of New Lexington, being unable to relieve her suffering. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Miller, of the Mennonite church, at the house, on Saturday morning. The in- terment was made in the cemetery on her old home place, as she requested. Her husband, David Schrock, and eight children, departed this life about 18 years ago. She is survived by four children, viz: Herman, of Wesley, Cal.; Barbary, wije of A. Kuhlman, of Ursina ; Catharine, wife of the deceas- ed Christian Kreger, of Kingwood ; and Malinda, wife of W. II. Kreger, of Kingwood. She was the grandmother of 28 grandchildren and 40 great grand- children. She was a good wife, a kind mother and was loved by all who knew her. She was a prominent member of the Mennonite church. 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. “I 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 lang trouble.” E. H. Miller. We believe there is some truth in the following utterance from Rev. J. D. McFaden, which recently appeared in the Carleton (Neb.) Leader: “When I was a boy they used to sing hymns that were hymns; nowadays in many churches they sing songs, they make a noise, they praise God with rag-time stuff, but I believe a new era is coming. The people are getting tired of these music excuses and are demanding a better class of hymns—the good old hymns that got you just a little nearer being good when you heard them.” ee A swindler, giving his name as George Brubaker, has been working an alto= gether new game on certain farmers in central Pennsylvania, says a dispatch from Altoona. He claims to own a sawmill at Kittanning Point and bays timber tracts. Ie spends money free- ly and nothing seems to be too good for his friends. When he secures an option on a tract he is careful about the details. The title and lines must be exact. Finally when everything is all ready he negotiates a loan to pay on the land, say $50, more or less, then he goes to an adjoining town on business, and never Brubaker was working in C recently in the vicinity of Lilly. He was there only a and when he took his depart- left bills to the amount of $100, to say nothing of the odd sums he bor- returns. ambria few days ure he makes kidneys and bladder right. | | promptly for an atttachment for any | rowed. | | | | | ‘Senator. BIG TIMBER TRACT SOLD. Ineludes Six Thousand Aeres in | Somerset and Cambria Counties. What is considered to be about the largest and best undeveloped tract of | 1ain’s timber Jand in Cambria or Somerset | was consummated in Johnstown sev- eral days ago. It includes some 6,000 acres, mostly underlaid with valuable coal, and the price was in the neigh- borhood of $100,000. The purchaser of this extensive lot of timber is George B. Breon, the well known lumberman of Williamsport, Pa.. who already has operations in Cambria and Clearfield counties. The land lies in Upper Yoder town- ship, Cambria county, and Conemaugh township, Somerset county, some 14 or 15 miles from Johnstown and near the new town of Boswell. The timber is largely oak, hemlock and poplar. Some 1,300 acres of the tract are pur- chased in fee simple, including surface, timber and coal, and of the latter there is said to be considerable of a good quality. Only the surface and timber of the balance of the land, consisting of some 4,700 acrces, haye been purchas- ed by Breon, the mineral rights being held by the Cambria Steel Company. It is the purpose of Breon, says the Tribune, to begin the development at once. He will build near Boswell a large band mill, which will have a ca- pacity of about 75,000 feet a day, and will, with the men necessary in the woods, give employment to about 100 hands. Boswell will be headquarters for the operations, which, however, Breon states, will have no connection with the Merchants Coal Company, founder of the town. The product of the mill will include almost every sort of lumber, railroad ties, telegraph poles, bill stuff, builders’ material, etc., while the smaller stuff will be worked up into lath and shin- gles, so that practically nothing may be wasted. A private railroad track will be built from the mill to the Que- mahoning extension of the Baltimore & Ohio recently completed to Boswell. All the land lies together, making it advantageous for working. ——— Fortune Favors a Texan. “Having distressing pains in head, back and stomach, and being without appetite, I began to use Dr. King’s New Life Pills,” writes W.

At the Democratic Senatorial con- ference for the 36th district, which was held at Bedford, last Thursday, Alex. Grof, editor of the Somerset Democrat, was nominated for the office of State Our Bedford reporter sends us the following, which he says was the speech of acceptance made by Editor Grof: “Feller Democrats and gentlemen of the conference, allow me fer to thank you fer the wise wisdom youse have showed in s’lecting me fer to reprysent youse in the United States Senate of Pennsylvany. I am quite shore youse couldn’t have thrusted the honor on a more worthier, more better or patryotic Democratic than me. I am a Demo- crat of the most pronounced Jefferson- ian, Jacksonian and Bryanitical stripe. I wus not only ,born a Democrat, but have been one of ’em ever since I wus so little an’ small that 1 had to stand on a brickbat fer to look over a duck’s back. Furthermore, feller citizens, I have been kept strong in the faith by hanging onto the coat tails fer the last 3 years of that grand old Democratic am, Hizzoner Aleck Coffroth. To be a good Democrat a man must be an Aleck first, last and all the time. That I will be ’lected at the November lex- ion there haint no manner of doubt or argyment. God is on our side, and with me an’ God on the side of Democ- racy, what in Helen blazes is goin’ fer to becum of old Quay an’ his Repub- licken party? Becaws of my nativity, I'll sweep old Scmerset county from the metropylis of Chestnut bur (I mean Windber) to the ex-metropylis of Mey- ers Mills. Then, there is ole Fulton county, state witch haint got a railroad—that state will go solidly fer the me, fer the reason that nothing but Aleck Democrats will ‘live in such a county. As fer ole Bedfurd county or state—well, she’s all right, too, as Doc Enfield or Bob MeNamara, either one or both, as the case may be, will testi- fy to with an oath or a whole parcel of | ’em if necessary.

The phenomenal activity of the whale country is illustrated by some figures. just prepared by the Treasury Bureaw of Statistics, showing the commerce an the Great Lakes during the month of July and the seven months ending with July. She chain of Great Lakes which stretches from New York at the east to Minnesota at the west transports a large proportion of the products of a dozen states which are included in the principal agricultural, mining, and for- estry sections of the country. The measurement of the commerce of the Lakes, therefore, is an important expo- nent of the business activities of the country. This is accomplished by the figures of the Treasury Bureau of Sta- tistics which show that the total freight receipts at 144 receiving ports on the Lakes were 25,718,826 net tons in the first seven months of the year, compar- ed with 18,891,257 net tons in the cor- responding months of last year. The statistical measurement of trade on the Great Lakes has been greatly developed by the Bureau of Statistics within the past few years. Under the system of reporting cargo by masters of vessels, which it established in the year 1900, an average of from 7,500 to 8,000 supplementary manifests is re- ceived at the Bureau each month dur- ing the season. These manifests are immediately tabulated in such a man- ner as to show the amount of business done by each Lake port throughout the month and year. July is the latest month for which figures have been published in the Summary of Internal Commerce, 144 receiving ports and 217 shipping ports being represented. The end of July usually marks the turning point in the open season of Lake navigation. This year. however, an earlier opening brought out a much heavier tonnage movement than last season. The total freight receipts for the first seven months of this year were 25,718,326 net tons, as against 18,891,257 net tons to the corresponding date last season. This increase is at the rate of 30.6 per cent. over the received tonnage last season. Shipments thus far this season have amounted to 26,876,006 net tons, those of last season being 19,653,- 334 net tons. The most conspicuous gains have been made in the shipment of ore and minerals not including coal, this season’s total amounting to 13.- 877,912 gross tons, against only 9,083,- 982 gross tons in 1901—a gain of 47.3 per cent. Coal shipments increased from 3,670,871 net tons last season to 4,652,323 net tons this season. Slightly less than half of the total freight ton- nage on the Lakes consists of iron ore. The movement of registered tonnage of vessels on these inland waters is re- ported for the first time this year. In these reports of internal commerce only the vessel movement between American ports is included. In seven months 37,413 vessels arrived with a tonnage of 35,087,876 tons registry, and 37,789 vessels cleared of 35,786,701 tons registry. This is more than twice the registered tonnage of both foreign and American vessels engaged in the for- eign trade of the country, for the same period of time. The foreign trade en- gaged 2,174,954 tons of sail, and 14,094,- 967 tons of steamships of all national- ities to July 31, 1902, making a total of 16,269,912 tons. The combined regis- tered tonnage in the foreign trade ak New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Balti- more, New Orleans, San Francisco, and Puget Sound for the entire year 190% was 18,868,808 tons entered, and 18,487 - 246 tons cleared, or somewhat more than half the total tonnage reported for the Great Lakes during the seven months of 1902. Further analysis of this enormous to- tal shows that 14 ports each report ar- rivals and clearances of a million tons and over. Five ports—Chicago, Mil- waukee, Duluth, Cleveland, and Buff: two n The combined se five ports was 11,421,099 and the clearances 11,455,544 tons. Wines and Brandy.
