We claim to be the Lowest PricEp WHiskey House. We really sell
whiskey as low as $1.10 per gallon, and mind you ; distilled whiskey—not a
decoction of chemicals—but of course it’s new and under proof.
“CaspER’s STANDARD” 10 Year old whiskey is a liquid joy! It is actu-
ally produced by honest Tar Heels in the Mountain Section of North Caro-
lina by the old time process. Every drop is boiled over open furnace wood
fires, in old style copper stills, in exactly the same way it was made by our
grandfathers a century ago. First rate whiskey is sold at $5 to $6 per gal-
Ion, but is not any better than “CAspER’s STANDARD.” It is the best produced
and must please every customer or we will buy it back with gold—we are
incorporated Under the Laws of N. C., with an authorized capital of $100.-
000.00 and the Peoples National Bank and Peidmont Savings Bank of Wins-
ton-Salem, N. C., will tell you our guarantee is good. This old honest,
mild and mellow whiskey is worth one dollar per quart, but to more fully
introduce “Casper’s Standard” we offer sample shipments of this brand at

Iowa has a law called “the old toper
law,” which provides for the confining
of habitual drunkards in insane asy-
lums. Its enforcement is reported to
be having a wonderful effect, and many
who for years clung regularly to their
drink have reformed and become more
or less useful citizens. If a sojourn of
a few months in an insane asylum will
cure a drunkard, it would be well to
enlarge the asylums at once in all the
states and have “old toper” laws adop-
ted everywhere.—Middletown Press.’
Never was the political strength of
the poor old decrepit Democratic Mey-
ersdale Commercial more fully shown
up than when the ballots were counted
on Tuesday night. It was then shown
that just eight voters followed the
leadership and advice of that paper,
and voted the state and district Repub-
lican ticket. and then went over and
voted the Demoratic county ticket.
That is a record that Lou “Anna-nias”
should be very proud of.—Meyersdule
Republican. : :
Last week after the election returns
were all in, the Meyersdale Commer-
cial said: “The Commercial congratu-
lates the Republicans upon their great
victory in county, district, state and
nation.” Old man, we do not need
your congratulations. Before the elec-
tion you advised Republicans to vote
the Republican state ticket, but to let
the county ticket strictly alone, adding
that better men could be found in the
Democratic and Prohibition columns.
But, as usual, the Republicans did not
take your advice, and your congratula-
tions, so far as the county ticket is con-
cerned, are very much out of place.
But you never did know when to talk
and when to say nothing and saw wood.
And farthermore, you are too stupid to
learn.
THe one distinguished Democrat,
Grover Cleveland, is once more to the
fore with his panacea for all ills—dis-
turbance of the tariff. Mr. Cleveland’s
previous calamitous monkeying with
prosperity, until there was no prosper-
ity left to monkey with, apparently
taught him nothing. He is as “sot in
his ways” as the burro on a thousand
hills. To him free trade, under anoth-
er name, will cure warts on man and
pip in chickens. To Grover, of whom
we had “four more years” mixed with
trouble of all sorts, there is nothing to
equal the destruction of the country’s
industries through experiments with
the nation’s revenues. To the sage of
Buzzard’s Bay, more recently of Prince-
ton, there is nothing to a nation so
dangerous as a surplus in the Treasury.
To this masterful fisherman, all actual
prosperity is merely a seeming so, and
even though the country be rolling in
wealth it is really in a horrible fix, and
doesn’t know it. Truly, and indeed,
there is but one of the great Grover’s
kind. He is sui generis. He stands
alone in his majesty as a destroyer of
industry, a creator of tramps and a
mobilizer of Coxey armies. The Amer-
‘| ican people, however, do not forget the
gray days when the duck hunter was
overflowing the Presidential chair, and
the policies he may choose to advocate
will be fought as shy of as bubonic
plague and other evils. The soup
kitchen has gone to stay, let us fondly
hope.—Los Angeles Times.

lands in this commonwealth, for the
purpose of hunting and trapping and
taking therefrom any game birds or

fense.”

| SOMERSET BOYS ARE WINNERS.
Three of Them Elected to Lucrative
Positions in Other Counties.
Somerset county’s sons seem to run
as successfully for office abroad as they
do at home. At -last Tuesday's elec-
tion Jacob J. Miller was elected Or-
phans’ Court Judge of Allegheny coun-
ty on the Citizens-Democratic ticket,
defeating Judge Gohen, the regular Re-
publican nominee by a large majority.
Mr. Miller is a son of the late Jacob D.
Miller, of Somerset township, and. is a
brother of Daniel S. and C. J. Miller, of
this place.
Judge-elect Miller is a graduate of
the Indiana Normal School and of the
law department of the University of
Virginia. He is 45 years of age.- When
14 years old he taught his first school
in Paint township, was principal of the
Somerset borough schools one term,
taught three terms in Washington
county, Md., one term as principal of
the Johnstown High School, and three
terms as principal of a ward school,
Pittsburg. He read law in the office of
W. J. and H. L. Baer in this place, hav-+
ing been admitted to the bar in 1882.
Shortly after his admission to the bar
he went to Pittsburg and soon took
high rank as a member of the bar of
Allegheny county. Mr. Miller is a
splendid example of what is generally
termed a “self-made man.” He was
never known to ask for assistance, but
relied upon his own ability to climbthe
ladder of fame. In 1894 he was mar-
ried to Miss Annie M. Clark, daughter
of Supreme Court, Judge Silas M.Clark,
deceased, of Indiana, Pa. His legion
of friends in Somerset county, irre-
spective of politics, are gratified at his
success.
Logan Rush, a son of Mr. and Mrs.
Jacob J. Rush, of Lower Turkeyfoot
township, was elected Register and Re-
corder of Fayette county on the Re-
publican ticket, and Harry B. Heflley,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Heffley, of
Somerset township, was elected Treas-
urer of Cambria county on the Demo-
cratic ticket.
Mr. Rush has been a resident of Fay-
ette county for a long time and is a
popular employee of the Union Supply
Company.
Mr. Heflley established a drug store
at Johnstown shortly after graduating
from a school of pharmacy at Philadel-
phia, some 15 years ago.—Somerset

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.

Matrimonial Tangle.
Richard. Coleman Massey, aged 71
years, was married one day last week
at Parkersburg, W. Va., to Miss Pearl
Odom, aged 19 years. The bride is the
step-granddaughter of the groom, Mr.
Massey’s son having married the bride’s
mother. As the bride was not of age,
it was necessary to secure the consent
of her parents, and Massey’s son had to
give his official consent before his fath-
er could marry. The groom’s son, by
virtue of being the girl's stepfather,
gave her away to his own father at
the wedding ceremony. The elder
Massey by marriage with Miss Odom
becomes the son-in-law of his own son,
and thus his own grandson, while the
younger Massey becomes his father-in-
law or his owngrandfather. The bride
becomes her own grandmother, and the
older woman is her own grand-daugh-
ter. Should children be born to both
couples, the tangle would be inextrica-
ble.—Ex.
A Thanksgiving Dinner.
Heavy eating is usually the first
cause of idigestion. Repeated attacks
inflame the mucuos membrances lining
the stomach, exposes the nerves of the
stomach, producing a swelling after
eating, heartburn, headache, sour ris-
ings and finally catarrh of the stomach.
Kodol relieves the inflammation, pro-
tects the nerves and cures the catarrh.
Kodol cures indigestion, dyspepsia, all
stomach troubles by cleansing and
sweetening the glands of the stomach.

Teachers’ Institute of Somerset
County, Term of 1902.
County Superintendent Seibert has
issued a 32-page pamphlet containing
the program for the 46th annual insti-
tute of the teachers of Somerset county
and the 13th annual convention of the
school directors of the county, togeth-
er with a report of the schools for the |
The institute |
year ending June 6th.
will convene on Monday, Nov. 24th and
continue in session until Friday noon.
The Superintendent says the instruec- |
tors and evening entertainers are
among the best talent obtainable,which
should insure a very full attendance of
teachers and others interested in the
cause of ‘education. The day sessions
of the institute will be devoted to in-
struction from foreign talent instead of
an exchange of ideas from the county
teachers, which is the mission of the
local institutes.
Two of the instructors, Profs. I. D.
Gresh and Theo. B. Noss, have appear-
ed before Somerset county institutes
on previous occasions, and therefore
need no introduction to oar people.
The other instructors will be Dr. Hen-
ry R. Pattengill; of Lansing, Mich.; Dr.
Sanford Bell, of Worcester, Mass. ; and
Dr. Edwin Chubb, of Athens, Ohio.
Vocal solos will be sung at intervals
during the progress of the institute by
Miss Louie M. Taylor. of St. Stephens,
New Brunswick, Canada, and Miss Rose
Constance Callaghan, of Somerset.
Miss Florence Taylor, of New Bruns-
wick, Canada, has been selected as the
pianist.
The evening entertainments will be
divided between two lecturers—one of
them with a national reputation—and
two musical companies. The enter-
tainments will be given in the follow-
ing order:
Monday evening, Dr. Spillman Riggs,
of Columbus, Ohio, will deliver his lec-
ture on “The Humorous Side of Life.”
Dr. Riggs is regarded as ap entertainer
of exceptional ability and is sent to
Superintendent Seibert with first-class
recommendations.
On Monday evening the Swiss Bell
Ringers and the Asetceam Trio will en-
tertain. This combination’s program
consists of vocal and instrumental se-
lections of a high order.
Wednesday evening Hon. J. P. Dol-
liver, of Des Moines, Iowa, will deliver
his lecture, “The Nation of America.”
Mr. Dolliver now represents Iowa in
the United States Senate and enjoys a
National reputation as an orator.
The Mendelssohn Quartet Company,
which will appear Thursday evening,
has visited fifteen states and Canada in
the four years of its organization, play-
ing many return dates.
Tickets for these entertainments will
be placed on sale on Saturday, Novem-
ber 15, at the Opera house, when course
tickets only can be purchased. The
price for course tickets will range from
$1.25 to $2.50, according to the location
of the seat.
The School Directors’ conventions
have been growing in interest with
each successive year. They will hold
their sessions in the High School build-
ing on Wednesday and Thursday, of
Institute week, for which the following
program has been submitted :
The ‘‘Supervision of Directors” has
been assigned for disscussion to E. M.
Knepper, 8S. C. Lichty, H. M. Berkley,
Dr. M. H. Baker and Dr. H. S. Carlisle.
The question of “Higher Wages” will
be discussed by Dr. O. J. Shank, H. G.
Hay and R. S. Walker. Messrs. U. S.
Werner, H. W. Young and D. G. Stahl
will speak of the “Need of School Li-
braries and How to Secure Them.”
The subject of “Hygiene for the School
room” has been assigned to Dr. W. 8S,
Kuhlman, Dr. A. F. Speicher and C. C.
Heckle. The “Importance of Directors’
Conventions” will be pointed out by
W. S. Hershberger, Dr. C. J. Hemming-
er and Wesley J. Pile. Messrs. H. H.
Will, Thomas H. Null, George B. Som-
erville and Alex. Lautz, will discuss
“The Compulsory School Law as it
Concerns our Schools.” The very im-
portant question, “Teachers’ Salaries,
and on What Should they be Based,”
has been assigned to Reuben Walker,
J. G. Liphart, Charles Ream, A, G.
Bantley and A, N, Tissue.

Samuel Compton Dead.
| Samuel Compton, one of the oldest
| and most respected citizens of Elk Liek
| township, died last Friday morning at
| the old Compton homestead, which far
| some years has been owned and occu
| pied by his son, Phineas, with whom
| the elder Mr. Compton made his home.
The deceased was known far and
wide as a most generous-hearted aad
| affable gentleman. He it was whe
| erected and for a number of years
| operated Compton’s flouring mill, in
| Elk Lick township, which is probably
the finest milling property in Somerset.
county.
Mr. Compton was not only a very
useful man in the community, but he
was also a good man in every sense af
the word. He was ever ready to do a
kind deed when opportunity presented
itself, and being a man of good ideas,
his advice was frequently sought by
his friends and neighbors, who always
| found in him a valued friend and coua-
selor. He was a man of an ingenious
nature, a natural mechanic, and had he
entered a good machine shop whea
young, he would have become a mas
ter mechanic.
Mr. Compton was not rich in this
world’s goods, yet he was in easy cir
cumstances and was noted for his gea-
erosity to those who were less forta-
nate in life than he was. He was traly
a child of nature, a great admirer of al
the beauties of God’s handiwork, and
he took great pride in collecting Ia-
dian relics, mineral specimens and odd
geological formations.. There is ao
doubt.that he has left the finest col-
lection of curios to be found in Som-
erset county.
The deceased was in every sense of
the word a plain man, caring nothing
for useless outward show or display.
One of his last requests was that he
chould be laid to rest in a very plaim-
coffin and that no useless expenditure
should be made for anything pertain
ing to his funeral. He preferred help-
ing the living to spending money use-
lessly on nF .
Mr. Compton died of cancer, with
which dread disease he suffered in-
tensely during the last few years of his
life. He was aged 76 years, 4 months
and 21 days. He leaves two sons,
Demetrius and Phineas, to mourn his
death. His wife preceded him to the
spirit world about 16 years ago. The
funeral service was held at the old
home, where a large concourse of peo-
ple had assembled to pay their last sad
respects. Interment was made in the
8t. Paul cemetery. Rev. E. 8. Hassler,
of the Reformed church, conducted the
funeral.
Big Work up About Windber.
Johnstown Democrat.
The Berwind- White Coal Company is
pushing the extensions to its plants at
Foustwell, Windber and other places as
rapidly as possible, and when complet-
ed, all the mines of this company will
have a capacity of 20,000 tons a day or
60,000,000 ton a year.
The company recently broke the ree-
ord by shipping 565 cars 1n one day, the
record having been formerly about 406
to 500 cars. An order was recently
given for 1,000 steel coal cars, some of
which have already been received and
are now in use.
A large part of this coal that is ship-
ped goes to the seaboard to ocean
steamship companies for fuel, and the
work of transporting it is something
enormous. As told in the Democrat a
few days ago, the P. R. R. will soon
begin the work of double tracking a
large section of the South Fork or Scalp
Level branch to accommodate the
trafic resulting from the great cosl
production of the mines of the Berwind-
White company. The traffic from the
mines not controlled by the Berwind-
White people will probably amount to
150 cars per day, and the output of the '
Babcock Lumber Company and of oth-
er companies in that section will prob-
ably bring the grand total of cars han-
dled on that branch up to 800 cars per
day brought in, which is a traffic of I.-
600 cars per day. There are about 36
cars to a train, and for this vast ship-
ment there would be more than 20
trains required each day, which gives
some idea of the greatness of the traffic
in the region of the Berwind-White
Company’s mines.
When all the improvements are com-
pleted and the mines reach their high-
est capacity in the production of coal,
it is estimated that about 1,000 acres of
coal land will be utilized each year,and
it is said that this would exhaust the
coal lands in 50 years.
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.
