Notable for Their Durability.
A most important feature of the flat,
indestructable records used on the Co-
lumbia Disc Graphophone is their dura-
bility. The material used is a compo-
sition exclusively controlled by the Co-
lumbia Phonograph Company, pioneers
and leaders in the talking machine art.
While its peculiar character admits of
its receiving the most minute vibra-
| tions, the composition is hard enough
to resist wear. For this reason Colum-
bia Disc Records outlast all others
while they are vastly superior in qual-
ity. Instead of being of being scratchy
and muffled, they are smooth, clear,
resonant and possessed of a volume
that is truly marvelous. Only those
who own Columbia disc machines and
the perfected disc records of the Co-
lumbia Phonograph Company, have a
just conception of the progress that has
been made in bringing this type of ma-
chines and records to the highest possi-
ble point of desirability.
The Disc Graphophone is made in
three types, selling at $15, $20 and $30.
Seven inch records 50c each, $5 per
dozen ; 10 inch records $1 each, $10 per
dozen. The Graphophone and Colum-
bia Records were awarded the Grand
Prize at the Paris Exposition of 1900.

“Silver Plate
Somerset Herald Shows Its Hatred
for the Miners.
The Somerset Herald has once more
shown its hatred for the miners and
working men in general by sanctioning
the sending of all the State troops into
the Anthracite coal region. The Her-
ald says: “It seems to have been the
only way out of preventing a coal fam-
ine at the outstart of winter.”
A coal famine seems to be an awful
thing to some people, but starvation
wages for miners and a famine all the
year around for them of the necessar-
ies of life seems to be nothing worth
mentioning with such plutocratic jour-
nals as the Somerset Herald.
According to the best sources of in-
formation, a state of murder and riot-
ing has notbeen existing in the Anthra-
cite region, and so far as the strikers
are concerned, no troops are needed
there to keep them orderly. However,
the outlaw operators need them. They
want to import alot of ignorant cattle,
and through and by misrepresentation
get them to mine scab coal. Then these
poor ignorant scabs are to be kept
within military lines, so that no one
can converse with them and show them
the wrong they are committing. And
thus the strike is to be broken and the
famine among the miners continued.
A coal famine would be a terrible
thing, no doubt ; but it looks to us like
a far more terrible thing for men to be
compelled toirisk life and limb for a
compensation and a living worse than
the Southern negroes were given dur-
ing the old slavery days.
Nearly all the newspapers of the
country agree that the big operators in
the Anthracite region are the real out-
laws.
Section 5 of Article XVII of the Con-
stitution provides as follows: “No in-
corporated company doing the business
of a common carrier shall, directly or
indirectly, prosecute or engage in min-
ing or manufacturing articles for trans-
portation over its works ; norshall such
company directly or indirectly engage
in any other business than that of com-
mon carriers.”
Notwithstanding this plain probi-
bition of the Constitution, says the
Philadelphia North American, the
Reading Railroad has become the own-
er of all the shares of the Reading Coal
and Iron Company; has, by virtue of
such ownership, elected its president
the president of the mining company
and has, by this and similar ownership
in other companies, become the largest
anthracite mining corporation in the
world. The Constitution ‘prohibits the
Reading Railroad from engaging in
such mining, either “directly or indi-
rectly.” No language could be used to
make clearer the purpose of the people
to forbid by any subterfuge or indirec-
tion the roilroads from engaging in the
coal-mining business.
Mr. Baer is a lawbreaker, confessed
and flagrant, by his presence as a factor
in the present strike and coal-mining
dispute. The very potency of his voice
in the present controversy is the evi-
dence that the Reading Railroad presi-
dent is, through the ownership of the
railroad, the dominant coal-mining
company in the anthracite region.
Every time he appers in the present
controversy he appears as a defiant vio-
lator of the Constitution, treating its
provisions with insolent contempt and
threatening seventy millions of people
with disease, misery and death unless
he is permitted to continue his defiance
of law according to his own cruel will.
Mr. Baer is the arch-anarchist of the
country today. While he flings his in-
solent sneer at the President of the
United States and brands the toiling
thousands who are seeking more bread
for their children and better protection
in their employment as “anarchists”
and murderers, he is himself in rebell-
ion against the fundamental law and
setting at naught the government and
the lawfully expressed will of the peo-
ple of the State. Anarchist Baer is the
leviathan among all the law-defiers
within the bounds of the Common-
wealth.
We heartily concur in the remarks
of the North American on this subject,
and we resent the Somerset Herald's
views. The Herald seems to have a
mania not only for advocating fusion
politics, but also forcoming out square-
against the laboring men upon every
occasion that presents itself.
Political Truths From the Windber
Journal.
Good Republicans never bolt nomina-
tions.
Good Republicans will vote by mak-
ing a cross in the circle at the head of
the Republican column.
Party treachery failed in 1900 when
the Sculls ordered the scratching of
Koontz and Kendall. Fusion failed in
1901—Kooser was elected.
Fusion will fail in 1902. Our own
Barefoot wont help it. He will be in
the snow without shoes. Barefoot may
be all right in his place, but we will
leave it to the eitizens of Windber to
say if he is competent to fill the office
of sheriff. The entire Republican tick-
et was fairly nominated and we will
support it to the end.
Freeman Hoffman will be nominated
for County Treasurer in 1905. He is a
man of brains and refuses to be used
by the Scull gang as Democratic bal-
last. Some of the candidates who were
defeated at the last Republican pri-
mary election have shown their man-
hood and Republicanism by refusing to
be candidates on the Democratic and
Fusion tickets.
The Journal is for the straight Re-
publican ticket from Pennypacker for
Governor to Mosholder for Toor Di-
rector. Chas.’ Weimer, defeated for
sheriff at the Republican primaries, de-
serves honorable mention for refusing
to go on the Fusion ticket. Barefoot
will be minus the office and consider-
able boodle which will find its way into
the Scull gang coffers.’ .
The editor of the Journal is a Bed-
ford county boy, he is for pr.'w. C.
Miller, of Hyndman, for State Senator.
Dr. Miller is the regular Republican
nominee. No Thropp-Scullism in ours.
J. A. Berkey says that he yielded the
nomination to Cooper, of Fayette, for
the following reasons: First, Fayette
county was entitled to the first nomina-
tion in the new 23rd district because it
has more Republican voters than Som-
erset and Greene combined. Second,
that it was necessary to get the nomi-
nation of a candidate without an um-
pire, and that he sunk his personal am-
bitions because the interests of the
party are greater than that of the indi-
vidual. Berkey is a thorough Republi-
can. Third, Allen F. Cooper is an able
lawyer, a clean gentleman, and a man-
ly man. Berkey and Cooper were
schoolmates twenty years ago. Scull
is for himself, which means dollars and
cents. Harvey M. Berkley is for Fus-
ion. J. A. Berkey is for the Republi-
can party.
The good people of Windber need
consider the Citizens’ ticket a minute
only, which was so cleverly hatched
out by that ever persistent Scull, to un-
derstand why che names of two Wind-
ber gentlemen appear in the list of can-
didates. It’s a clever ruse to capture
unsuspecting Windber votes. It can’t
stand the test, however, and loyal as
our citizens are to the interests’ of
Windber, it can’t hope to find many
supporters. It’s a clear cut scheme for
“Timmie” Scull to lift himself into
power by the aid of Democratic votes,
for his following is growing slimmer
with each election. Good Democrats
will denounce the scheme as will also
Republicans. They won’t be found in
that kind of company. *
The Worst Form.
Multitudes are singing the praises of
Kodol, the new discovery which is
making so many sick people well and
weak people strong by digesting what
tehy eat, by cleansing and sweetening
the stomach and by transforming their
food into the kind of pure, rich, red
blood that makes you fell good all over.
Mrs. Cranfill, of Troy, I. T., writes: For
a nmber of years I was troubled with
indigestion and dyspepsia which grew
into the worst form. Finally I was in-
duced to use Kodol and after using
four bottles I am entirely cured. I
heartily recommend Kodol to all suffer-
ers from indigestion and dyspepsia.
Take a dose after meals. It digests
what you eat. KE. H. Miller.
True Democrats willbe Heard From.
The Coffroth-Scull combine has made
some very sore spots in the Democratic
party, and true Democrats are express-
ing their disapproval of being sold out.
A life-long Democrat was in conversa-
tion with Tue Star man only last week,
and he said:
“] have been a Democrat ever since
I am a voter, but T think 1 will vote
the Republican ticket this fall; not
that I am a full-fledged Republican
yet, but because there is no Democratic
ticket in Somerset county this year.
We had a Democratic county ticket in
nomination, but Uncle Alex. Coftroth
has kicked some of my Democratic
friends off and substituted in their
places a lot of sorehead Republicans.
If the Democratic party is to be man-
aged jointly by Mr. Coffroth and Geo.
R. Scull, the overthrown and repudiat-
ed Republican boss, I want to be count-
ed out. Here in Salisbury we have the
sublime spectacle of hearing Harvey
Hay sing the praises of Coffroth and
Scull, when but afew years ago he con-
tinually denounced both of them as be-
ing absolutely no good. But now he is
right with them. Why? Simply be-
cause Uncle Alex. has sold out the
Democratic party, just as Harvey Hay,
Chris. Lichliter and a few other Demo-
crats did with our party in this bor-
ough during the last two years. Last
spring they held a dark-lantern caucus
to which only a few trading Democrats
and a few sorehead Republicans were
invited. They parceled out the nomi-
nations to suit themselves, and every-
body knows what a sorry mess they
made of it. They got their bumps on
election day, and the straight Demo-
crats who were not invited to the cau-
cus helped to do the job. The selling-
out business will not work. A few
scheming Democrats may gain a tempo-
rary advantage by such’ sneaking tac-
tics, but the rank and file of our party
are in no way benefited. True Demo-
crats are voting for principle, and no
true Democrat wants to see his party
belittled by compromising with the
enemy for the spoils of office. Our
party is weak enough as it is, but the fu-
sion business will kill it entirely in the
county, just as it has done in Salisbury
borough. Coffroth and Scull have com-
pounded a lot of nauseating fusion
pills, but they cannot compel true
Democrats to swallow them. For my
part, I shall not do so, and there are
others. Some of us, at least, are not
going to be parties to a dirty scheme
intended only for the purpose of en-
abling Geo. R. Scull and the nonentity
who presides over the Somerset Demo-
crat to control the county printing at
hogish prices, which the tax-payers will
have to pay if the mongrel ticket wins.
‘We want no more $567 election procla-
mations and county annual statements
that cost nearly $200 in ours. That is
what we will have to pay if the mongrel
ticket set up by Scull and Coffroth
wins, but it’s not going to win.”
Natural Anxiety.
Mothers regard approaching winter
with uneasiness, children take cold so
easy. No disease costs more little
lives than croup. It’s attdck is so sud-
den that the sufferer is often beyond
human aid before the doctor arrives.
Such cases yield readily to One Minute
Cough Cure. Liquifies the mucus, al-
lays inflammation, removes danger.

hon, Hampton, Ga.: “A bad cold ren-
dered me voiceless just before an ora-
torical contest. I intended to with-
draw but took One Minute Cough
Cure. It restored my voice in time to
win the medal.” E. H. Miller.
NORTH DAKOTA LETTER.
Our Unele M. P. Lichty Again Heard
From—What He Accomplished
in a Few Years in the
Northwest.
Zion, N. D,, Oct. 3, 1902.
Epiror Star :—This is such a beauti-
ful October morning that I am inspired
to give your gentle readers a pen pic-
ture of our section of country as it ap-
pears at the present time. *Old Sol”
is out on his heavenly parade in all his
glory. His effulgent rays make the
dewdrops sparkle like fresh cut dia-
monds, although the grass is seared,
and mostly brown and yellow stubble
appears in the vast fields where beauti-
ful crops grow.
This morning that wonderful phe-
nomenon, the mysterious mirage, lifts
up the surrounding landscape iu the
distance to full view, which ordinarily
is shut out from one’s general range of
vision. All over, far and wide, tall
pillars of steam from the many thresh-
ing engines stand up perpendicular,
like so many monuments. Near by to
each is the busy crew at work, hauling
up the sheaves or bunches, while the
grain wagons go creaking towards the
bins or elevators. Indeed, we have
been blessed again with a hountiful
harvest. The yield is in most localities
about as good as last year. Prosperity
is still ascending the scale, the evi-
dences of which may be seen by the
many improvements going on every-
where, in every town and country dis-
trict.
eal estate is rapidly advancing, and
all the lands available for farming ani
ranching purposes are bought up by
adjoining owners, and much by East-
ern and Southern people. Some are
selling out to go into retirement, oth-
ers to follow other business, and some
move on further north or
land is yet cheaper and just as good as
here. There is still room for millions
more fo find homes.
I have now spent d'% years in this
state. I came here with $200. 1 went
in debt $300 I stuck to my claim,
broke it all out, and slightly improved
it. Last year I paid off all my debts
and laid $400 by. This year I raised a
big crop, and the other day I sold my
claim for a handsome cash considera-
tion. Luck and pluck made her win.

Now I am ready for another job. I]
presume next I'll go where the
“woodbine twineth.” Canada holds
out such good inducements that
one is almost tempted to step across |
the line and take up another home- |
stead on “Uncle John’s” domain, which |
only requires three years occupancy.
The land, the climate and seasons are
just about the same, and in some re-
speets better. They have more coal
and timber, and good railroad facilities.
But all patriotic, loyal Americans hate
to step from under the folds of “Old
Glory” and lose their citizenship; al-
though “the earth is the Lord’s, and
the fullness thereof,” and Christianity
should recognize no boundary lines,

of Light and Darkness. MP IL.

No orHeR family in Somerset county
owes the Republican party as much as
the Scull family owes it. No other
family in Somerset county profited half
as much financially at the hands of the
grand old party as the Scull family.
Yet, in the face of these facts,.the
Sculls are the first people to turn their
backs upon the party that has made
them rich, and they father a fusion
movement, a movement that puts them
in partnership with the - Democratic
party. Last year they did the same
thing, but their treachery failed of its
purpose, and this year they will get
their bumps worse than ever. “The
Frosty Sons of Thunder” are not’
yet ready to sell a half interest in the
political control of Somerset county to
the Democratic party,the common ene-
my of all true Republicans. “Timmie”
Scull and “Lucifer Ananias” Smith are
willing to go with any mongrel aggre-
gation for the loaves and fishes, but
true Republicans cannot see how they
are to be benefited by such a deal
The *“Timmiecrats” and *“Luciferists”
have a bad smell to them, and good
Republicans will just hold their noses
and walk by on the other side. No, no,
Messrs. Bolters, the Republicans are
not raking any chestnuts out of the fire
for you, this year. You may pile all
the fuel under your little political
stink pot you please, but with you it
will be only a case of
“Double, double, toil and trouble,
Fire burn and chaldron bubble.”
Why Country Editors Seldom Dis-
continue Subscriptions When
They Expire.
Some newspaper subscribers very
often wonder why 2 country pub-
lisher continues sending the paper
when the subscription has expir-
ed. When the subscription is paid
to a certain time, and the time
expires, and the paper is stopped, it
looks as if the editor doubted the in-
tegrity of the subscriber, and in nine
cases out of ten the subscriber will
give the publisher a censuring for in-
sinuating that his credit is not good,
Rather than to cast any reflection
against a neighbor’s honesty to pay a
small debt, it has become eustomary
for country newspapers to continue
sending the paper after the time has
expired. The city weeklies and dailies
do not generally follow this rule, as
their subscribers are at a distance, and
besides, they are not acquainted with
them and do not know their financial
standing. One should consider it an
honor to know that his credit is not
doubted when the publisher continues
to send the paper. Should the sub-
scriber desire to have his paper discon-
tinued, he should inform the publisher
and remit to date, if any amount is
owing. —Ex.
Mitchell and Baer.
Baltimore Herald.
The public has not the slighest diffi-
culty in determining which of the two
men—John Mitchell and George F.
Baer acted the gentleman and the man
of common sense in the conference at
Washington, which has done more to
turn the tide of public opinion in favor
of intelligent labor unionism than any
recent event. It is unnecessary to give
further expression to the widespread
contempt President Baer has aroused
by his assumption of divine authority
and his insolent attitude toward the
highest official representative of his
country.
Who brought into Pennsylvania the
element of foreign and ignorant popu-
lation, in number far greater than in-
dustrial demands warranted? Was it
Mr. Mitchell or those whom Mr. Baer
represents? Who is responsible for the
industrial nuisance in Pennsylvania's
borders—the map who used his influ-
ence to check the strike sentiment un-
til the operators announced their atti-
tude of “no arbitration and no conces-
sions,” or those who perversely provok-
ed the strike sentiment to further
selfish schemes? It must always be
borne in mind that Mr. Mitchell did not
| declare the strike, and that it was the
result of a majority vote among the
| miners.

family records for framing, size 18x22
inches. They are worth 75 cents apiece,
but while they last, from this date we
will present one to every subscriber
who calls at the office and pays at least
a dollar on his or her subscription. All
those who have favored us with cash on
| subscription on or before Jan. 1st, 1902,
are invited to call for records, but we
cannot send them by mail, as they can-
not be sent without being crushed.
You must call at the office if you want
one, and don’t wait until they are all
gone. : tf
There is no legerdemain about busi-
ness. People buy where they expect
their money to go fartherest and do
best for them. It is not won by senti-
ment, and very few spend it for senti-
ment. For a business firm, therefore.
to expect to get and hold trade on per-
sonal friendship, or because of long ex-
istence, is nonsese. Advertising, per-
sistent and comprehensive, will yield
dividends. If you want to strike oil,
you must dig a well; it won’t drop from
| the clouds for you. Business prosper-
| ity is the work of effect directed by in-
telligence. Failure to use modern
| methods is sheer business stupidity. —
