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. I 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. COMMITTEE. Miller’s drug store. Protection and Labor. For more than forty years the Re- publican party has made the protection of American labor a cardinal feature of its policy. Its greatest leaders have contended for this and the results have splendidly vindicated their wisdom. The United States has been made the paradise of the workingman, labor has been elevated and to-day the wage earners of this country are envied by those of other lands. The Republican party stands now where it has always stood in this respect. It proclaims through its distinguished leader con- tinued devotion to the interests and the welfare of the working classes an points to what it has accomplished in their behalf as giving it a just claim to the continued confidence and support of labor. There must be no lowering of the standard of living for the American workingman, says President Roosevelt. Moreover, he must be secured the full- est opportunity of employment. Ev- erybody should concur in this, yet the Democratic proposition to overthrow Protection would take employment from labor and necessarily lower the standard of living. Workingmen at least should give thoughful considera- tion to the words of President Roose- velt.—Omaha Bee. Forty Years’ Torture. To be relieved from a torturing dis- ease after 40 years’ torture might well cause the gratitude of anyone. That is what DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve did for C. Haney, Geneva, O. He says: “DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve cured me of piles after I had suffered 40 years.” Cures cuts, burns, wounds, skin dis- eases. Beware of counterfeits. E. H. Miller. The Democratie-Union Party Have a Hard Time Getting a Vietim. On account of General William *H. Koontz flatly refusing to become a can- didate for State Senator, the Demo- cratic conferees reassembled in Bedford again this week and endeavored to name a candidate for the empty honor. It was rumored that ex-Congressman Thropp could have it for the asking,bui for some unaccountable reason he didn’t accept. J.C. Lowry, of Somer- set, was given the nomination, but word comes to-day that he has about decid- ed that he don’t want it and may also withdraw as a candidate. In the meantime the sentiment for Hon. W. H. Miller, the Republican can- didate for State Senator, keeps grow- ing in the district, and his election is assured by a handsome majority.—Ev- erett Republican. Spent More Than $1,000. W. W. Baker, of Plainveiw, Neb, writes: “My wife suffered trom lung trouble for fifteen years. She tried a number of doctors and spent over $1,- 000 without relief. She became very low and lost all hope. A friend recom- mended Foley’s Honey and Tar and thanks to this great remedy. it saved her life. She enjoys better health than she has known in ten years.” Refuse substitutes. E. H. Miller. Looking for the End of the World. Considerable excitement prevails near the dividing line between Susque- hanna and Bedford counties, where a certain religious sect predict that the world will come to an end before the close of the coming month. A number of the farmers have left their homes, turned their stock out on the commons and are living in camp. Many will not SOW their fall grain and say they will not put a single grain of seed in the ground, as the Lord is certainly com- ing this year. A few of the most sang- uine have made ascension robes.— Windber Era, The above is an old yarn revamped. The Hoosier editor of the Era ought to post himself on the geography of Penn- sylvania, as well as on many other things he is ignorant of. The two coun- ties named are far apart and do not border on each other. “Lucifer,” Please Explain. General Koontz decided to withdraw from the contest for State Senator Sat- urday last. What his real reasons are for making this step we do not know, but certainly not the silly ones his re- puted friends assign. As soon as his withdrawal was definitely made steps were taken to fill the vacancy thus made on the ticket. His action does not in the least injure or affect the suc- cess of the Citizens’ ticket. We would very greatly liked to have seen the General in the State Senate.—Meyers- dale Commercial. * You don’t know why he withdrew, eh? Well, the General says it was be- cause he was induced to run through misrepresentation of your fool friends, and his word is as good as gold. And you say. “Lucifer,” that you would like to see the General in the State Senate. Well, if that’s the case, why did you bolt him the last time he ran for the Legislature? The General says he is just as solidly anti-Quay as ever, and two years ago you bolted his nomina- tion because he was an anti-Quay man. By the way, old man, what are you, anyway? Are you for Quay or against him? Your readers have a right to know, and you owe it to them to ex- plain. The fact is, old man, you are simply for the loaves and fishes, such as $567 election proclamations, ete. You are for any old mongrel politics that will land you at the public crib, and furthermore, you are an old blow- He Will Run Like a Snail. J. Cal. Lowry, of Somerset, was nomi- nated for the office of State Senator by the conferees of Somerset, Bedford and Fulton counties at Bedford on Tuesday last, in place of General Koontz who withdrew. Mr. Lowry is a well-known lawyer of the Somerset bar and will serve the people acceptably in that of- fice. His escutcheon will never be stained by accepting a bribe for his vote and influence. He was born and reared in Salisbury and will run ahead of his ticket in the south of the county shere he is best known. —Meyersdale Commercial. No such stuff, “Lucifer,” he was not nominated by the conferees of Somer- set, Bedford and Fulton, for the Ful- ton delegates became disgusted and never put in their appearance. They want none of the Calvin in theirs, even if they are Democrats. Fulton is go- ing to line up in the Repulican column this year. Yes, Calvin is a well known lawyer, but he is a little to well known. He is so well known that he has been completely wallopped every time he bobbed up for office, and that’s three times and out. The last time he got it the neck to the tune of almost three to one, and the South of the county turn- ed him clean inside out, just as it will do again. We are not here to discuss his escutcheou, but we know that the “scatehing” he got from Henry F. Bar- ron was a “beaut.” Yes, Calvin will run like a snail in the South of the county, just as he always did. Do Good—It Pays. A Chicago man has observed that, “Good deeds are better than real estate deeds—some ofthe 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. Texas Justice. A Texas Judge was robber of a horse not Jong ago, says the Chicago Journal, and the thief, being apprehended, was brought before him for trial. The judge eyed the prisoner with deep satisfaction for a minute or so and then delivered himself thus: “Owing to a personal prejudice, the court will not hear the case. It will be tried by the bailiff, who will find a ver- diet in accordance with the facts. In the meantime, “added his honor, impressively, the court will go outside and prepare a rope and pick out a good tree.” ee Tue kickers are howling, Your Un- cle Aleck’s” scowling, while little “Aleck’s” growling, and “Timmie” Scull is prowling round for whom he may devour. But as election day approaches, in spite of their encroaches, they're political slow coaches and fusionist cockroaches, and they’re growing weak- er every hour. By the way, how would it do for the “Mongrels” to hold another “Aleck” meeting in Salisbury? Several years ago, it willbe remembered, two “Alecks” were in Salisbury on a speech-making tour. That time “Your Uncle Aleck” Coffroth tried to get Republicans to vote the Democratic ticket by eulogiz- ing Abraham Lincoln, but the thing wouldn’t work, for in the audience there were some old citizens who heard “Your Uncle Aleck” make campaign speeches during the rebellion, and dur- ing those stormy days “Your Uncle Aleck” had his jacket off, going up and down the country comparing the im- mortal Lincoln to a dog, ete. But now that “Father Abraham” is dead and needs no eulogy or support, “Your Un- cle Aleck” can squeeze out a tear or two for him any time to touch the hearts of Republicans. But people take his pretended sympathy for what it is worth, and that doesn’t amount to a tinker's mill dam, whatever that is. The little green “Aleck” who presides over the Somerset Democrat, is mak- ing himself even more ridiculous than the other “Aleck.” He is trying to win Republican votes by defending the shattered reputation of such great (?) Republican statesmen as Harvey M. Berkley. Well, Harvey is much in need of defense, but when praise comes from such a source as Alex. Grof, it works the other way, as it should, and it disgusts even the Democrats. True Democrats who believe in the princi- ples of their party, can’t see why they should vote for such renegade Repub- lican rubbish as Harvey M. Berkley, Geo. R. Scull and the two ‘‘Alecks” have thrust upon them. iis i Danger in Fall Colds. Fall colds are liable to hang on all winter leaving the seeds of pneumonia, | bronehits or consumption.

Another Heavy Oats Yield. Jonas C. Beachy, Esq., of Bittinger, Md., says the Okland Republican, re- ports an exceptional yield of oats on a Labor Conditions in the United States as Compared with Condi- tions of Labor in Europe. Labor conditions in the United States is the subject of a chapter in the re- cently published report of the Com- mission from the British Iron Trade Association which visited the United States a few months since and reported upon industrial conditions,and especial- ly those relating to iron and steel. Dis- cussing this important guestion of the condition of labor in the United States viewed from the standpoint of the Eng- lish citizen and manufacturer, the re- port says: “The conditions of labor in the Uni- ted States is another matter that has received a good deal of attention, as being fundamental in the progress of American industries, if not also in the relative progress of some of our own. The influence of trade unionism is not nearly so strong nor so aggressive in the United States as in Great Britain. The reason is largely capable of mathe- matical demonstration. A recent re- port by the New York Department of Labor shows that while in Great Brit- ain at a recent date there were 1,905,000 trade unionists, there were only 1,600, 000 in the United States and Canada, for about twice the population, while Germany is credited with 995,000, or about one-half the British figure. The trade union is not generally recognized as a militant force in the United States, except now and again. Few employers are ready to ‘acknowledge that it has any influence worth naming. “The almost absolute freedom of la- bor has been the chief instrument whereby it has won such conquests in the field of industrial economy during the last quarter of a century. In all conutries industrial processes have been greatly cheapened during that pe- riod, but in America the cheapening appears to have been carried farther than anywhere else. According to fig- ures recently made public by Mr. Wil- liam Garrett. a rail roller in an up to date rail mill is paid less than one cent per ton for rolling, against 15 cents at a not very remote date. Within that time, again, a wire rod roller has seen his earnings per ton reduced from $2.12 to 10 cents per ton, and yet he earns larger wages at the lower figure, while five cents are paid today for heating billets to make wire rods, against 80 cents during the period referred to. ‘If rod rollers, says Mr. Garrett, ‘were to receive the same wages per ton that they did twenty years ago, they would earn $424.00 per day.’ “The average output per worker has in all cases increased enormously. At the nine Edgar-Thomson blast furnaces, I was told that 1,600 men are employed for an output of 24,500 tons per week, including all the hands employed in handling and stocking raw materials, transport, ete. This gives an average of 15.3 tons of pig per man per week, or 795.5 tons per man per annum. The minimum wage paid at the blast fur- naces is $1.50 per day of 12 hours. I did not get the average wage paid at these works, but Mr. A. C. Dinkey, the manager of the Homestead works, re- cently testified that the average earn- ings of the workmen, excluding officials, is $2.73 per day, while the earnings of rollers and beaters rise to $15 per day. Wages, in short, are generally so good. and the men have their futures so much in their own hands, that they have ev- ery encouragement to do the best they can for their employers and for them- selves. “The human factor and the personal equation appear-to count in the Uni- ted States for more than they general- ly do in Europe. Workmen appear to enjoy a larger measure of independ- ence, based on the knowledge of the fact that work is more easy to obtain thain in older countries; that they are able, as a rule, to save money, and are, therefore, less dependent than when living, as is not unusual in Europe, from hand to mouth. and that they are living under a political regime which is founded on democratic principles. “Two features of the relations of em- ployers and employed may be named as exercising a powerful influence on the amity of their connection—the first, the encouragement and reward of workmen’s inventions, and the sec- ond, the readiness with which workmen of exceptional capacity can themselves become emiployers and capitalists.” : A Dozen Times a Night. Mr. Owen Dann, of Benton Ferry, W. Va., writes: “I have had kidney and bladder trouble for years, and it be- | came so bad that I was obliged to get [up at least a dozen times a night. T | never received any permanent benefit from any medicine until I tried Foley's Kidney Cure. After using two bottles, I am cured.” E. H.
