A child of Mrs. Geo. T. Benson, when

burned him severely. The child was
in great agony and his mother could
do nothing to pacify him. Remember-

lain’s Pain Balm in the house, she
thought she would try it. In less than
half an hour after applying it the child
was quiet and asleep. and in less than
two weeks was well. Mrs. Benson is a
well known resident of Kellar, Va.

especially valuable for burns, cuts,
bruises and sprains. For sale by E. H.

Arthur Emerick, who some time ago
secured a job as brakeman with the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, had
the misfortune to get into a bad wreck
some time ago, but escaped injury.
Two freight.trains collided, which was
the result of the crew Emerick was
with being asleep in the caboose. The
boys had a long, hard run and were
supposed to get along without sleep for
about 48 hours. That is almost im-
possible to do, but when trainmen suc-
cumb to sleep, they usually get a lay-
off, which was the case with young Em-
erick, who has decided to quit railroad-
ing and has secured employment with
the W. K. Niver Coal Company at Don-
aldton.

Asleep Amid Flames.
Breaking into a blazzing home, some
firemen lately dragged the sleeping in-
mates from death. Fancied security,
and death near. I'ts that way when
you neglect coughs and colds. Don’t
do it. Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption gives perfect protection
against all throat, chest and lung trou-
bles. Keep it near, and avoid suffer-
ing, death, and doctor’s bills. A tea-
spoonful stops a late cough, persistent
use the most stobborn. Harmless and
nice tasting, it’s guaranteed to satisfy
by E. H. Miller. Price, 50 cents and
$1.00. Trial bottles free.
Boys Assault a Schoolma’am.
Miss Sue Engle, who is teaching
school in Meyersdale, met with very
rough treatment, last Friday evening,
at the hands of a number of Meyers-
dale boys. A day or two befqre, Miss
Engle had threatened to punish an un-
ruly schoolboy when he came to school
the next morning, but the boy failed to
put in his appearance. and the next
evening while Miss Engle and Miss
Nellie Dom were on their way to their
boarding house, a gang of boys sudden-
ly stepped up to Miss Engle and assailed
her with cabbage roots and other mis-
siles. They beat her shamefully and
also smeared her all over with flour
paste, which they had evidently pre-
pared for the occasion. One of the as-
sailants, we understand, was the boy
who had been schéduled for a whipping
in school, and itis likely that he was
the instigator of the assault upon the
teacher.
Miss Engle fell in a swoon when she
reached her boarding place, and for
several days was confined to her bed,
while a $20-suit she had worn was com-
pletely ruined.
On Monday morning Mrs. John J.
Engle, of Elk Lick township, who is
the mother of the teacher, appeared be-
fore Esquire Levi Lichliter and made
information against the following nam-
ed lads: Wm. and Allen Hocking,
Clare Finegan, Edgar Donges, Stanley
Stump, Lester Cover, Roy Stahl, Henry
Stemmler, Newton Miller, Earl Hinisb,
Bernard Cox and a son of H. J. Wil-
moth.
The information was sent to Esquire
Wm. B. Book, of Meyersdale, who was
authorized to issue warrents for the
arrest of the young fiends. ,
We have since heard nothing further
of the matter, and it is probable that
the parents of the young hopefuls have
made satisfaction with the school teach-
er, as some of them are among Meyers-
dale’s most prominent people.
The Best Remedy for Croup.
From the Atchison Kan., Daily Globe.
This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for croup
is in demand in every neighborhood.
One of the most terrible things in the
world is to be awakened in the middle
of the night by a whoop from one of the
children. The croup remedies are al-
most as sure to be lost, in case of croup,
as a revolver is sure to be lost, in case
of burglars. There used to be an old-
fashioned remedy for croup, known as
hive syrup and tolu, but some modern
mothers say that Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy is better, and does not cost so
much. It causes the patient to “throw
up the phlegm” quicker, and gives re-
lief in a shorter time. Give this reme-
dy as soon as the croupy cough appears
and it will prevent the attack. It never
fails and is pleasant and safe to take.

A Startling Surprise,
Very few could believe in looking at
A. T. Hoadley, a healthy. robust black-
smith of Tilden, Ind., that for ten years
he suffered such tortures from Rheu-
matism as few could endure and live.
But a wonderful change followed his
taking Electric Bitters. “Two bottles
wholly cured me,” he writes, “and I
have not felt a twinge in over a year.”
They regulate the Kidneys, purify the
blood and cure Rheumatism, Neural-
gia, Nervousness, improve indigestion
and give perfect health. Try them.

“Jake’’ Beal Offers a Soft Snap.
Jacob Beal, of Coal Run, who is one
of the most noted coon hunters in the
state, has a finely bred young ’coon dog
that he would like to have somé one
train for him. He says he hasn’t got
time to train the dog himself, but re-
quests THE STAR to announce that he
will furnish gun, ammunition, board,
lodging and three drinks of whiskey
per day, all free, for a month or two, to
any experienced ‘coon hunter who will
come to his house, take charge of the
dog and see that he gets a good, prac-
tical ’coon education. “Jake” is cer-
tainly offering a good lay-out, and we
would accept it ourself, but we are
afraid we couldn’t do anything but the
eating and drinking.
Physicians Prescribe It.
Many broad minded physicians pre-
scribe Foley’s Honey and Tar, as they
never found so safe and reliable a rem-
edy for throat and lung troubles as this
great medicine. E. H. Miller.
Officer Joy Scores Another Victory.
This week two Frostburg Jews came
to Salisbury and began selling rugs.
They carried their goods right with
them and sold as they went. They had
no license to sell their goods, and there-
fore were violating a state law.
Policeman Joy placed them under
arrest, but all of a sudden they leaped
into their buggy and went out of town
at a speed that would put the average
race horse to shame. The next day,
however, Mr. Joy got a warrant and
went after them. He caught up with
them near the Moser bridge, about two
miles north of town. He told them to
consider themselves under arrest, but
they gave their horse the whip and
tried to escape. Mr. Joy, who was also
driving a fast horse, started in pursuit,
calling upon them repeatedly to halt.
The race was fast and furious, but
the Jews refused to halt and submit to
arrest. As a last resort the officer shot
the horse the two men were driving,
che ball striking him in the thick flesh
of one of the hind legs. This took
place at the Moser cut, but even the
shooting did not stop the jews. They
urged their horse forward by vigorous-
ly applying the whip, crossing the S.
P. Maust bridge and making for Frost-
burg via the John J. Engle mill. Be-
yond Engle’s, however, they turned off
on a wrong road and ran into a rock
quarry where a lot of men were at
work. This brought the offenders to
bay and the officer did the rest.
Calvin Engle was deputized to help
bring them to town, which he did, and
the two men were lodged in the bor-
ough cooler. They were given a hear-
ing before Burgess Livengood for vio-
ly: Peddling without a license and
fast and furious dring in the borough.
They refused to pay their fine, saying
law. For the latter offense they were
required by Squire Lowry togive bond
in the sum of $300 for their appearance
at court. No one here would go on
their bond, but as we are about to go
to press we are informed that a bonds-
man is on his way from Frostburg to
help them out. We are also informed
that when the bondsman arrives here
Mr. Joy will bring two more charges
against the prisoners, one for resisting
arrest and one for cruelty to animals.
Next week we will publish the final out-
come of the affair.
It is exceedingly dangerous to monk-
ey with a buzz saw, and it is also dan-
gerous to defy the law when old Joe
Joy gets after a violator, as many
“smart alecks” and would-be bad men
have learned to their sorrow.
Cured of piles After 40 Years,
Mr. C. Haney, of Geneva, Ohio, had
the piles for forty years. Doctors and
dollars could do him no lasting good.
DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve cured him
permanently. Invalbiable for cuts,
burns, bruises, sprains, lacerations, ec-
zema, tetter, salt rheum, and all other
skin diseases. l.ook for the name of
DeWitt on the package—all others are
cheap, worthles counterfeits. E. H.
Miller.
World’s Production of Coal in 1901.
The forthcoming volume of Mineral
Resources of the United States for the
Calendar Year 1901, United States
Geological Survey, estimates the
world’s production of coal in 1901 at
866,165,540 short tons. The three great
coal-producing countries of the world
are the United States, Great Britain
and Germany. The output of these
three countries combined makes up
81.61 per cent. of the world’s total.
Austria-Hungary comes fourth, France
is fifth, Belgium sixth, and Russia
seventh. The last country, notwith-
standing its vast area, produces only
about 6 per cent. as much coal as the
United States. The three countries
which lead in the production of coal
are the three countries that lead in in-
dustrial development. Prior to 1899,
Great Britain led among the world’s
coal producers, but during 1899, 1900
and 1901 the United States has made
such remarkable increases in coal pro-
dented activity in the iron and steel
and in other metal trades, that we now
stand far in the lead of all competitors,
with a production in 1901 exceeding
that of Great Britain by 47,965,938 short
tons, or 19 per cent. Up to the close of
1900 the coal production of Great Brit-
ain and her colonies, if taken together,
still exceeded that of the United States,
the excess in'1900 being 3,368,825 short
tons ; but the enormous output of the
coal mines of this country last year ex-
ceeded by about 26,000,000 short tons
the entire output of Great Britain and
her dependencies, including India and
the Transvaal.
Of the output of coal in 1901, the
United States produced 33.86 per cent.,
Great Britain and her dependencies
30.86 per cent., and Germany 19.42 per
cent., or, combined, 84.14 per cent. of
the total production.
