Once finished the road will pro- vide a better outlet for coal from the Georges Creek and West Virginia re- gions than is available now by the Huntingdon and Broad Top, and it will also furnish new access to the Somer- set coal fields, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. We are glad to note that Mr. Q. A. McClure has decided to become a resi- dent of our town, having sold his fine farm near the Wilhelm church to Ross Sechler. He will erect a fine residence on Union street which will occupy a piece of ground on which is now stand- ing the house occupied by Port Hart- line and owned by J. L. Barchus. The small house will be moved onto a lot in the John Smith addition, in the northwest portion of the borough.

Krausse is suffering in- tensely this week with asthma and la grippe. J. Calvin Beal, of Meyersdale, was in Salisbury, Sunday last, visiting rela- tives and friends. Mrs. Elizabeth Brown, who had been yisiting friends in Virginia for some time, returned home on Tuesday eve- | ning. Mrs. W. B. Stevanus went to Brad-| dock, last Saturday, to visit her par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. 8. S. Koontz. We are informed that Mr. Koontz is very ill with inflammation of the bowels. We are sorry to announce that our old friend Jacob Emerick came home from Courtney, Pa., very ill, one day Yast week. He is suffering with accute rheumatism, a malady that he seems to be subject to. County Superintendent Seibert was in this vicinity last week, visiting schools. The new superintendent is very active in his duties, and it is gen- erally conceded that he is the right man in the right place. J. L. Barchus recently purchased from Wm. Smith a small tract of land lying between the north alley of Ord street, the south alley of Union street, Smith avenue and the S. J. Lichty meadow. The consideration was $500. IraD. Reckard, Duncombe, Ia. writes: “My little boy scalded his leg from the knee to the ankle. I used Banner Salve immediately and in three weeks time it was almost entirely healed. I want to recommend it to every family and advise them to keep Banner Salve on hand as it is a sure remedy for scalds or any other sores.” E.H. Mil- ler. Mr. M. P. Lichty, of North Dakota, who occasionally writes for THE STAR, has decided ‘to visit his native heath, Salisbury and vicinity, some time dur- ing the present fall or winter. Mr. Lichty went west from here in 1876 and has never been here since. When he returns his many old friends will ac- " eord him a hearty welcome. Lester Loechel complains to THE Star that Stephen R. McKinley has been tearing Republican campaign buttons off of his (Lester’s) coat. Well, that’s characteristic of Stephen and ether Democratic allies. Stephen has a sign right aside of the door of his work shop that shows his political com- plexion. It’s a portrait of Keunedy. Mrs. Mary Matheny, mother of Mrs. E. H. Lambert, Mrs. J. D. Miller and Mrs. Zach Wagner, died last Friday at the ripe age of about 83 years. De- eeased was a faithful member of the tterman Baptist church and was well xnown throughout this vicinity. where she lived for probably the last twenty years. Her husband, who was a veter- an of the Civil War, died many years ago. “Watch The Kidneys” “When they are affected, life 1s in danger,” says Dr. Abernethy, the great English physician. Foley’s Kidney Cure makes sound kidneys. E. H. Mil- Jer. Fowler (ind.) Leader: The printer of this paper is of the opinion that this life is too short to go once a week tothe store and stand on his toes, rub his hands and smile at the proprietor and Rumbly inquire if he wants any adver- tisement this week. The proprietor of the store does not come to our place and want to knw if we want any socks. Perhaps we think just as much of our dignity as he does of his. While opening a box, J. C. Mount, of Three Mile Bay, N. Y,, ran a ten penny mail through the fleshy part of his hand. «I thought at once of all the pain and goreness this would cause me,” he says, “and immediately applied Chamber- Jan's Pain Balm and occasionally after- wards. To my surprise it removed all pain and soreness and the injured parts were soon healed.” For sale by E. H. ed up and excited over it, it is better to reflect a little. Remember your |one or half-dozen cherubs drive you crazy about half the time, so bear with the teacher who is making for you in- telligent men and women of as un- promising material as you were 20 or 30 years ago. Remember, that togeth- | er with your own boy, who, of course everybody knows is an angel, the teach- | er has to contend with that awful bad boy of your peighbor, and you know full well what a terror he is. { | | Some time ago a popular young man | in Meyersdale was pretty sweet on a | certain fair damsel ani paid the house frequent visits. One day he called and inquired for the lady, but was informed by her mother that she was taking a bath and could not see him. Just then the young lady stuck her head out of the bathroom door at the head of the stairs and exchanged remarks with the young man. “I wanted to tell you something,” he said. “Well 1 can’t come down now,” she replied. “Slip on something and come down just a min- ute, can’t you?” he continued. So she slipped on the top stair and came down. Would-be Senator Grof, of the Som- erset Democrat, was in our city on Tuesday. “Aleck’ was dodging around in a rather mysterious way while here, and for some unaccountable reason he did not have sufficient editorial court- esy to call on Tue Star. It may be that he was over to arrange for an “Aleck” meeting, but we think not. Those who saw him say that his classic brow wore a troubled look and that his general appearance seemed to indicate that he did not know “where. he was at,” politically. It’s real mean of the little “Aleck” that he didn’t invite us around to a hotel and “set em up,” and owing to that we can’t vote for him. It is not possible for the proprietors to publish more than a very few of the numerous letters received in praise of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar- rhoea Remedy and telling of its re- markable cures. They come from peo- ple in every walk in life and from ev- ery state in the Union. The following from Mr. T. W. Greathouse, of Practs- burg, Ga., speaks for itself: “1 would have been dead now but for the use of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar- rhoae Remedy. It cured me of chronic diarrhoea after seven years of suffer- ing. I can never say too much in praise of that remedy.” For sale by E. H. Miller. 10-30 Complaint is frequently made at this season of the year that the mail order houses of the big cities are absorbing too much of the country merchant’s trade. You can’t stop people from buying where they think they buy the cheapest simply by holding the mail order houses up to ridicule. The only way the country merchants inany town can hope to compete with the mail or- der house is by meeting them on their own ground—by advertising. Adver- tising is simply telling what you have to sell and the price. The argument that you have been'in business a long time and that the people all knew you and know where to find you, does not suffice. The people care mighty little about you, personally, but it is your goods and the prices at which you sell them that interests them. Advertising will not sell your goods, either, but it will draw customers. to your store. It is then up to you to do the balance.— Lake Park News. 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.” Miller. 10-30 Sold by E. H. Miller. farm west of town to Charles R. Sny- der, who will move on the place April 1st, 1903. Mr. Keim will not move off of the farm when Mr. Snyder takes possession, but it is rumored that he may becoiie a citizen of our town a year or so later. We hope this is true, for he is a first rate man and our peo- ple would be glad to see him become a resident of this borough. Mr. Keim is one of the best farmers in Somerset county, and he has managed his farm so well that he has not only earned a rest, but can also well afford it. His tenant is somewhat of a hustler, and we think he is in Juek to get possession of such a fine farm. If pluck, hustle and hard work will win, Snyder will succeed well. We wish him good luck. The Salisbury Lutheran charch has been thoroughly overhauled and now presents a greatly improved appear- ance. A snug and commodious addi- tion has been built to the Sunday school room, and in the main audience room can aiso be seen some marked improvements. The floor is all nicely carpeted, and overhead the wood work is now handsomely finished in oak, while the walls have also been changed in color. The church had been closed while the repairs were being made, but will be reopened on Sunday, Nov. 2nd, when Rev. R. 8. Patterson, of Berlin, will preach. Rev. E. S. Johnston, D. D., the local pastor, informs us that the reopening services will be interesting and requests Tur STAR to extend a cor- dial invitation to the whole commun- ity to be present. Sunday school at 9 a. m., preaching at 10.30 a. m., and Christian Endeaver meeting at 6 p. m. Mr. John W. Coleman, who came here from Carleton, Neb. several months ago. is critically ill at the home of the editor since last Tuesday after- noon. He is suffering from paralysis and has poor chances for recovery. He had been suffering from a paralytic stroke received over five vears ago,and while at our home last week he was suddenly prostrated by another stroke. For several days his speech was entire- ly gone, but that has been partially re- covered. However, it is not likely that he will ever be able to walk, and his re- covery is considered impossible. His condition is indeed pitiable, and there is no doubt that death would be a wel- come relief to him. All that human hands can do is being done for him, but the fates seem to be against him. Mr. and Mrs. Coleman came here on a visit, and we are only too sorry that the circumstances are such that there can be no enjoyment in it for them. Mrs. Coleman is the mother of Mrs. P. L. and Mrs. 8S. L. Livengood, while Mr. Coleman is their stepfather. Rev. J. A. Hamilton and family have moved to Pleasant Unity, Pa., where Mr. Hamilton has been assigned to a new charge. By his removal the M. E. church of this place has lost a very competent and popular pastor. Rev. Hamilton is not only a very ex- cellent gentleman, but he is a very zealous worker in the Mas- ter’s cause as well. He resided in Salisbury about 22 months, and during that time the sum of about $2,400 was raised for church purposes. The Salis- bury church edifice was repaired inside and outside, and a new church was built at Coal Run during the time stated. During the same period the M. E. church membership of this vicinity had a very healthy growth, about 125 persons eaving embraced the Methodist faith, and about 12 or 13 new members were received on certificate. The new congregation at Coal Run has a mem- bership of 83 persons, and the Sunday school there consists of 168 scholars, of- ficers and teachers. Surely the M. E. church here has prospered under the able ministration of Rev. Hamilton, and it is with sincere regret that we note the departure of the reverend gen- tleman and his family. Tue Star will visit them in their new home, and we wish them much success in their new field. Rev. Hamilton’s successor at this place is Rev. W. H. White, who will be located here by next week. Our people bid him welcome and hope that he will meet with as much success as was achieved by his predecessor. A SURE GO. That is What the Meyersdale and Salisbury Proposed Trolley Line is Now Said to Be. There is now but little doubt as to the Meyersdale & Salisbury trolley line becoming a reality. It is a posi- tive fact, we are assured, that the bonds have been sold and that the road is to be built in the very near future. The contract for the grading was to have been let on Tuesday of last week, and it is ramored that Henry Wilmoth, of Meyersdale, is the contractor and will begin work this fall yet. This, how- ever, we cannot yet confirm, but that the road will be completed and put in operation next summer is considered certain. —_ America’s Famous Beauties.

The Improved Traction Engine Com- pany is the name of a new concern re- cenily incorporated with a capital of $25,000 The officers of the company are H H. Maust, President; Ernest Livengood, Vice President; Albert Reitz, Secretary and Treasurer. Other Salisbury capitalists are interested in the new enterprise, and the works will be located at Boynton, where the fac- tory will be erected this fall yet on ground owned by the Maust Lumber Company. The new company will manufacture an improved traction engine, of which Gideon Miller, of Elk Lick township, is the patentee and inventor. The Miller engine is not unknown in Somerset county, as Mr. Miller has a small ma- chine shop near his home, where he already built several of them. Practical men pronounce the Miller traction engine far ahead of any other traction engine on the market, and it is the purpose of the new company to erect a plant to start with that will turn out one complete engine per week and also enable them to do considera- ble other machine work. has A general opinion exists that a mam- moth enterprise will eventually devel- op out of the begining about to be made, and there is certainly good ground for the belief. Mr. Miller is a machinist and inventor of a high order, and we are indeed glad to note that our local capitalists have come to his assistance. With a little exertion, this community can be made quite a man- ufacturing ‘center, as we have an abundance of cheap fuel and all the resources needed. The more industries the more people there will be employ- ed here, and the more employment we have the more business and prosperity we will all have to enjoy. Here’s suc- cess to the Improved Traction Engine Company, and to the enterprising men composing it there is much credit due. 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. E. H. Miller. Meyersdale Republican Rally. Saturday evening, Nov. 1st, there will be a big Republican rally in Mey- ersdale. The speaking will take place in the new opera house, and Attorney General John P. Elkin and Hon. M. M. Garland, Surveyor of the Port of Pitts- burg, will address the meeting. The speakers have a wide reputation for their oratory and sound logic, and all who possibly can should attend. Mr. Elkin is the man who came very near landing the Republican nomination for Governor, but who refused to sulk in his tent when defeated. He has been working hard for his successful rival ever since, and he is the kind of a Re- publican men like to honor. Be sure to attend the big rally. _-— A Dozen Times a Night. Mr. Owen Dunn, 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. I never received any permanent benefit from any medicine until I tried Foley’s Kidney Cure. After using two bottles, I am cured.” E. H. Miller. —— ADDISON NEWS. Death of George Beitzel and Other Well Known People. Oct. 28th.—Mrs. Jerry Easter, of near Somerfield, died recently at the home of her son, James Easter. The de- ceased was aged over 70 years. Her husband died about 15 or 20 years ago. On Monday, Oct. 13th, Wm. Frantz died at an age exceeding more than 80 years.

A wife and several children mourn his death. Wm. Darr, who recently sold his ho- tel, will give possession of the same on Noy. 1st.
