You mustn’t think it strange of “Scottie” Easton if you see him sport- ing around town with his hair parted in the middle and trying to put on airs.

Burgess I. L. Milliron, of Rockwood, was renewing acquaintances with his many friends in Salisbury. last Satur- day evening. The people here are al- ways glad to see Ezra, for he carries sanshine with him wherever he goes. All agree on this except a certain very affectionate Rockwood parson. Whenever you hear a man finding fault with his local paper, you will be safe in betting ten to one that he hasn’t an “ad” in it, five to one that he never gives it a job of printing to do, three to one that he doesn’t take the paper, two to one that if he is a subscriber he #s a delinquent, even up that he never does anything to assist the editor, and forty to one that he is most eager to see the paper when it comes out.—Ex. 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.

Some time ago a man named Damm and another named Wagner had a fight in Cumberland and the Cumber- land newspapers wrote it up as “the Damm-Waguer scrap.” We have lots of Wagners here in Salisbury, but no Damms, and consequently never have any Damm-Wagner scraps; but the other day we heard a man say that he never saw a real good fight in Salis- bury. but lots of dirty,d n Seraps. Mr. Chas. H. Fisher, the well known stationer of Somerset, has our thanks for a copy of Schrock & Staniford’s new pocket map of Somerset county. This new map of Somerset county contains all the railroads. county roads, towns, villages, postotfices, streams, mountain ranges, ete., in the county, and is a very valuable work of reference to possess. It will be sent to any address for 50 cents in postage stamps, by Mr Fisher. C.

Mr. Statler owns a half section about four miles northeast of this place and various other tracts in this state and in Kansas. He is 78 years of age and has made the trip alone, and still attends to his business affairs quite fluently. He speaks highly of the de- velopment and flourishing condition of old Somerset county, and is more than well pleased with the progress Nebraska has made since his last visit here,which was twenty years ago.—Carleton (Neb.) Leader. The jury in the case of Common- wealth versus Philip Rhoads charged with the killing of Robert Maurer re- turned a verdict of “guilty of voluntary manslaughter and that the Court be as lenient as possible in passing sentence.” The verdict was announced last Thurs- day shortly before noon, after the jury had been out twenty-five hours. Coun- sel for Rhoads asked that the jury be polled, after which a motion was filed asking for an arrest of judgment and that a new trial be granted. This mo- tion will be disposed of at the next ses- sion of Argument court—Somerset Democrat. The Queen City Courier tells of a man in West Virginia who is the father of 23 children. The father, A. H. Dol- ly. was married three times. Wife No. 2 was the mother of 13 children, and following are their names: Vernie, Ralph, Friday, Monday, Sunday. Roxie, Sylvie, Flossie, Tuesday, Wedne=<day, Girtie, Thursday. and the youngest, which has not yet been named, will likely be called Saturday. That’s noth- ing, however, as Reuben Folk,who died in West Salisbury a few years ago, was only twice married and was the father of 25 children. And he didn’t give a single one of them a fool name, such as “Daddy” Dolly and his “Polly” did in their folly. It is rumored that quite a lot of men will be discharged at some of the mines in this vicinity in the near future. If this is correct, we hope none of the many good, steady and honest class of miners will be put off. However, there are some miners in this vicinity that the community would be well rid of. We refer to those who are neither true to their own fellow craftsmen nor to anyone else. We could name some fel- lows in this vicinity who are ingrates to their friends and benefactors and a drawback to their fellow workmen. Some of them whom THE Star has more than once aided and befriended have recently shown their dirty princi- ple by trying to beat us out of money they owe on newspaper subscription. | { PRN a Beware of the Knife. No profession has advanced more rapidly than surgery, but it should not be used except where absolutely neces- sary. In cases of piles for example, it is seldom needed.

The Baltimore & Ohio is now having delivered and is using a new and mod- ern style of coach made by the Harlan- Hollingsworth Company. Ffty of these coaches have been ordered and 25 are now being delivered. They are said to be among the handsomest day coaches constructed, with attractive interior trimmings. The wood work is of light oak, with the ceiling of the car and side panels painted a light greeen. The mode of ventilation is a departure in that the air is admitted from the sides, but by way of the roof, through the registers placed about four to six feet apart in the roof, which prevents the dust and cinders from entering the car, as heretofore. Each car is splen- didly equipped with modern conveni- ences.—Connellsville Courier. The streets were thronged Monday and Tuesday with people from all parts of the county called to Somerset to at- tend court, a majority of them as wit- nesses, says the Somerset Herald. The atmosphere of the court room was so hot Monday that only those who were obliged to remain in the court room did so, the rest loitering under the awn- ings of business housses or under the trees in the court yard. Many of those called to court on legal business have been unable to secure accommodations at hotels, but the overflow is being ae- commodated at boarding houses. There is a marked contrast between the erowd present this week and the crowd attending court in years past, when all conversation was carried on in English and Pennsylvania Dutch. Nowadays one can hear almost every civilized language on the streets during court week, a majority of those appearing in criminal court being foreigners. Our genial old friend John Walker, the gentleman who owns the fine little farm just east of the old Salisbury cemetery, brought an apple to Lichli- ter’s store, several days ago, that weighs 15 ounces. We do not know of what variety it is, but it is a most beau- tiful red apple and was plucked from a graft that Mr. Walker had put on a wild crabapple tree several years ago. Since writing the foregoing item, Mr. Walker called on the editor with two more apples of the same kind, one of which also weighs 15 ounces and meas- ures 14 inches in circumference the largest way. If we remember rightly, he said he took about a bushel of ap- ples from the same tree and that there is very little difference in. the size of any of them. Mr. Walker ought to take his prize apples to the Meyersdale fair. He may have those left with us at any time he calls for them, if he wants to take them to the fair. The apples are of the Red Beatinghammer variety. Captain Wm. M. Schrock, of Somer- set, was a welcome callar at Tur Star office last week. Captain Schrock has our thanks for a complimentary copy of a new map of Somerset county which was recently compiled and published by himself and Chas. W. Staniford, of New York. The new map is a beauty and is the only map of Somerset coun- ty published for years. It shows all the new townships, towns and post- oHices in the county, also the streams, railroads and county roads within our borders. It is a most valuable and at- tractive work of ready reference, and it is just what many of our people have long been wanting. While here Mr. Schrock appointed the editor of THE Star agent for the new map in this vi- cinity, and the town will be canvassed within a few days for orders for the same. The price of the map is $2.00, if mounied ready for hanging, or $1.00 if unmounted. Persons wanting a copy can leave orders at Tur Steer office or wait until we eall on them, which will be spon. On Tuesday evening quite an inter esting lawsuit was heard before Burgess Livengood. The plaintiffs were the Swartzwelder girls, and “Polly” Blough was defendant. As is usually the case when the beauty and chivalry of Salis- bury assemble before the August tri- bunal of Uncle Jerry’s trim shop, the irrepressible John M. Smith, lawyer, poet, statesman, orator and sage of Meyersdale, was there. In this in- stance he was attorney for Mrs.Blough, whom John says he knew from the time she was a foot long and always knew her to be a perfect lady. The charges against her consisted of as- sault and battery, chinmusical disturb- ances of the peace, and the Lord only knows what not. But Lawyer John was equal to the emergency and suc- ceeded in getting his ciient out of it with the small fine of $1.00 and half of the costs. The whole thing was a lu- dicrous affair and a big ado about noth- ing, but it created lots of fun for the spectators. There has for some time been much trouble between the liti- gants in this case, owing to the fact that Mrs. Blough charges the other women with alienating the affections of her dear “hubby,” Jacob Blough,who for some reason not known to us has lately decamped for parts unknown.

An ex- tensive and interesting program has been prepared, which will consist of vocal and instrumental music, devo- tional exercises, speeches, discussions, ete. The Somerset Orchestra will fur- nish much of the music, and all in all the session promises to be a very inter- esting one. The railroads will grant excursion rates, and there is no doubt that many people will be in attend- ance. On Thursday evening, Oct. 16th, a grand entertainment will be given at the Court house, which will be follow- ed by a reception and light refresh- ments. The County Home and Hospital will also be visited, where luncheon will be served and timely topics dis- cussed. The sessions will be held in the Court house, and the headquarters of the Association will be at the High- land Inn. 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.

One is a statement of the First National Bank of Salisbury and the other of the First National Bank of Frostburg, Md. The home institution ranks away up among the banking houses of Somerset coun- ty, and it affords us pleasure to say that no bank in the country is in the hands of more careful, competent and obliging gentlemen than the First National of Salisbury. The same can also be said of the First National Bank of Frostburg, which ranks second among the banks of Al- legany county, Md., for volume of busi- ness, deposits, ete. It is a United States depository and has over $100,000 of U. S. money on deposit. It also has a savings department and pays 3 per cent. interest on deposits. The officers in charge are all gentlemen of the high- est order and integrity, and as a good safe banking house, the First National of Frostburg has no superior. A Sad Disappointment.

H. Miller. Our uncle, Mr. Henry Yost, of Gar- rett county, Md., arrived in Salisbury last Saturday afternoon from the west. He had been visiting old acquaintances in Illinois, Jowa and North Dakota, and upon his return he stopped at THE Star office to tell us of the pleasant trip he had. Mr. Yost is a thrifty Ger- man American citizen and is one of the foremost farmers in the northern part of Garrett county, where he located about 30 years ago. He settled down on one of the roughest farms in his neighborhood, but today that farm is one of the most desirable ones in that locality. The many improvements show that it has been under the man- agement of a good husbandman, and on it Mr. Yost has acquired quite a competency. During the past few years the farm has been divided and is now owned by two of the sons and a son-in-law of the man who has made it what it is, and Mr. Yost is. now living at his ease after many years of hard labor. He has well earned a rest, and very sensibly he has decided to have some enjoyment during his declining days. Over a year ago he visited the scenes of his youth in Germany and re- ported: a very enjoyable time there when he returned ; but he says he en- joyed his western trip far more. Mr. Yost said to the editor: “Germany is a good country, but give me America He expressed some re- gret that he did not locate somewhere in the west when he began farming. He said his many old friends in the west treated him so handsomely that he can hardly find words to express his gratitude. “Out west,” he said, “isthe place for young men who want to farm,” and he added that if he had started there he could have done far better than here and with much less labor. Before leaving THE STAR office for his home, he cashed up for another year’s subscription for his favorite local paper and also paid for a year’s sub- scription for one of his western friends.
