If such were possible some people would en- gage in the one or the other the great- er part of the time. What would you do if you could do one or the other? Last week the Rockwood Gazette ebanged its form from a seven to an eight-column folio. The change is a eommendable one, and Editor Over- acker says the Gazette’s business is in- areasing by leaps and bounds, all of which we are glad to note. Rockwood is certainly giving its newspaper a Bandsome advertising patronage,which speaks well for that town its business men. ‘While opening a box, J. C. Mount, of “Three Mile Bay, N.

The farmers have request- ed that she withdraw her reward until after “hog-feeding” time is over, or the sorkers will never be ready for early winter market. Prof. Schaeffer, Superintendent of #ublic Instruction, issued an Arbor Way order, which sets out that, inas- much as it has become customary for achools to clebrate Autumn Arbor Day im addition to the Arbor Days that the Governor annually designates by proc- mation in the spring of the year, Fri- day, October 17th, is named as Autumn Arbor Day, aud the directors, teachers, and pupils of the public schools are re- amested to observe the day by planting grees, and other suitable exercises. It is not possible for the proprietors ro publish more than a very few of the mnmerous letters received in praise of @©hamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar- shoea Remedy and telling of its re- markable cures. They come from peo- gle in every walk in life and from ev- ary state in the Union. The following from Mr. T. W. Greathouse, of Practs- Borg, Ga., speaks for itself: “I would Bave been dead now but for the use of ©£hamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar- zhoae Remedy. It cured me of chronic diarrhoea after seven years of suffer- ing. I can never say too much in praise sf that remedy.” For sale by E. H.

We are glad to learn that he will continue to reside in our county. at pe —- Look Out For Fever. Billiousness and liver disorders at this season may be prevented by cleans- ing the system with DeWitt’s Little Early Risers. These famous little pills do not gripe. They move the bowels gently, but copiously, and by reason of the tonic properties, give tone and strength to the glands. E. H. Miller. The North Dakota letter which ap- pears in this issue will be read with much interest by those of our readers who are acquainted with the writer, M. P. Lichty. We think his letter is strong proof that the great West is the proper place for men who wish to get a start in life quickly. Especially is it the place for young, sble-bodied men. Mr. Lichty is a man at leastsixty years of age, and he has been badly crippled ever since he was a very young boy. He has a good brain, however, and lots of pluck, and his many friends here will be glad to learn of the success he has achieved in 5) years. What he has done could be done much easier by men who are younger and hive able bodies. “Young man. go west and grow up with the country,” was Horace Greeley’s advice many years ago. It was good advice then and is just as good now. ) 8 ow | ee Out of Death's Jaws, “When death seemed very near from a severe stomach and liver trouble,that I had suffered with for years,” writes P.

During the past week the editor of this paper had a terrible battle, or rath- er a series of them, with his old enemy, asthma. Once it came very near mak- ing a corpse of him, but Dr. A F. Speicher’s skill vanquished the disease just in time. He thought sure he would have to go the trip, and the only regrets he felt was leaving his family and the awful thought that he wouldn’t be here to vote the whole Republican ticket from top to bottom at the next election. He is again able to be about, but owing to his severe illness he has been unable to gather much local news this week. Do Good—It Pays. A Chicago man has observed that, “Good deeds are better than real estate deeds—some of the latter are worthless. Act kindly and gently, show sympathy and lend a helping hand. You cannot possibly lose by it.” Most men appre- ciate a kind word and encouragement more than substantial help. There are persons in this community who might truthfully say: “My good friend,cheer up. A few doses of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy will rid you of your cold, and there is no danger whatever from pneumonia when you use that medicine. It always cures. I know it for it has helped me out many a time.” Sold by E. H. Miller. The speakers were Judge Penny pack- | er, Senator Penrose, a Mr. Shaffer, of Delaware county, Allen ¥. Cooper, our next congressman, and Col. I'lood. The Court House could hold only a very small portion of the immense crowd, but the audience was very enthusiastie, and all the speakers were greeted with round after round of applause. All the | speakers urged the importance of Re- publicans doing their whole duty by voting the Republican ticket from top to bottom. Fusion was denounced in plain and positive language, and the few fusionists present looked like thir- ty cents. The big crowd was made up of large delegations from all parts of the coun- ty, and the indications are that fusion- ists of Somerset county will wonder what struck them, the morning after the election. J. A. Berkey was unanimously chosen as chairman of the meeting, and J. A. Lambert and G. E. Bishop asseretaries. The vice presidents consisted of one representative Republican from nearly every voting precinet of the county. eo His Life In Peril, “I just seemed to have gone all to pieces,” writes Alfred Bee, of Welfare, Tex., “billiousness and a lame back had made life a burden. 1 couldn’t eat or sleep and felt almost too worn out to work when I began to use Electric Bit- ters, but they worked wonders. Now I sleep like a top, can eat anything, have gained in strength and enjoy hard work.” They give vigorous health and new life to weak, sickly, run-down peo- ple. Try them. Only 50c. at E. H. Miller’s drug store. Amazed at the High Prices Paid for Elk Lick Coal. Tre Star recently made mention of the sale of the J. B. Keim coal for $1,- 000 per acre, tothe Somerset Coal Com- pany. Some of our county exchanges are nearly going wild over it, as such figures for coal have heretofore been unheard of in some of the other coal fields of the county. They should re- member, however ,that there is no other coalvein in Somerset county that will for a single moment compare with the big Elk Lick vein, neither in thickness, ease of mining nor quality of coal. The price paid for the Keim coal is not as high as that being paid by some of our other operators who pay from 15 to 18 cents per ton royalty, which foots up to more than $1,000 per acre. One acre of Elk Lick coal is worth from two to two dozen times as much as any other coal in Somerset county, and very well do all the coal men know it, too. In speaking of the Keim coal sale, the Berlin Record has this to say: “The Somerset Coal Company, which bas extensive operations in the Stony- creek valley, enjoys the reputation of paying the biggest price for mineral lands on record in the bituminous re- gions. Recently that company purchas- ed the coal under the farm of Jere B. Keim, near Salisbury, which has both the large vein and a 4-foot seam. The price of $1,000 an acre paid for this coal is only equaled in the state by transac- tions in the anthracite and Connells- ville fields. The land lies close to the railroad, which probably had consider- able to do with the enormous figures the coal commands.” — —— .

Some time ago we sent out some statements to subscribers in arrears on their subscription. Many of the recipi- ents of the statements evidently think we sent the statements for the mere fun of using postage stamps and sta- tionery; but there are some who be- lieve in doing to others as they would have others do to them. Mr. 8. S. For- ney, of Somerset, is classed with those who believe in doing the right thing. He not only remits the amount called for by the statement, but adds a little for payment in advance. In remitting e says: “I can hardly afford to take as many county papers as I do, but Tur STAR is such a good Republican and such a lively newspaper that I cannot part with it.” “Watch The Kidneys" “When they are affected, life 1s in | danger,” says Dr. Abernethy, the great | English physician.

The above is another instance where the old fool of the Commercial is blow- ing hot and cold with the same breath. In one editorial of his issue of Oct. 2nd he deplores the ‘fact that neither the Senatorial nor Congressional nomina- tion came to Somerset county. In an- other editorial in an adjoining column of the same issue he says it was wis- dom to make Cooper the Congressional nominee, as will be seen above. If it was wisdom to make Mr. Cooper the nominee, then why does the Commer- cial not give J. A. Berkey the credit due him? It is a well known fact that for the sake of party harmony Mr. Berkey withdrew from the race and in- structed his conferees to vote for Coop- er, which they did, and nominated that gentleman. Elsewhere in this issue we publish another “deadly parallel” article taken from the Meyersdale Republican. By reading it you will discover that the Commercial has securely hooked itself in another place. Last week, in commenting on what the county papers had to say concern- ing the candidacy of General «Koontz, old “Lucifer” made mention of the fact that some of the county papers did not say a word. It would be a good thing for the old fool of the Commercial to keep silent more than he does. If he would keep his mouth shut oftener, he wouldn’t be getting his old cloven hoof in it so often. ol ge Danger in Fall Colds.

The poor old man who is supposed to conduct the editorial page of the Mey- ersdale Commercial, is a badly rattled man these days. 1n proof of this as- sertion we quote from his own paper of two different issues: Meyersdale Commer- | cial, Sept. 11th. | Hon.

The ¢on- ferees who slaught- ered Endsley were tainted by fraud and their action has no moral nor political binding effect upon Somerset county Republicans. Brother Smiih, if Hon. W. C. Miller was your candidate on September 11th, and he would receive the vote of the Republican party, please explain to your readers what pressure Timmie brought to bear upon you to write the editorials that appeared on October 2nd?
