It is said that Henry F. Cook, of
Frostburg, Md.. has about decided
to establish a Prohibition paper at
Berlin. In our opinion there is not a
town in county where a
Prohibition paper could be made to pay.
Berlin’s newspaper field is already well
covered, and we will venture the pre-
diction that if Mr. Cook establishes a
second paper there that he will soon
discover that he: is up against a hard
proposition.

Coughs, Colds and Constipation.
Few people realize when taking
cough medicines other than Foley's
Honey and Tar, that they contain
opiates which are constipating besides
being unsafe, particularly for children.
Foley’s Honey and Tar contains
opiates, is safe and sure and will not
no
constipate. E. H. Miller.
Last week several tramps vere in
town, and one of them, at least, was
goiing from house to house offering
jewelry for sale, which the chances are,
he had stolen somewhere. Our people
should promptly report all such cases
to our local officers and see to it that
such fellows are promptly arrested and
fined according to the offenses they are
found guilty of, whether for vagrancy,
theft or selling goods without license.
There is a against vagrants,
peddlers, ete, and it should be enforced
in all cases and thereby rid the com-
munity of such trash.

It will be good news to the mothers
of small children to learn that croup
can be prevented. The first sign of
croup is hoarseness. A day or two be-
fore the attack the child becomes
hoarse.- This is soon followed by a pe-
culiar rough cough. Give Chamber-
lain’s Cough Remedy freely as soon as
the child becomes hoarse, or even after
the rough cough appears, and it will
dispel all symptoms of croup. In this
way all danger and anxiety may be
avoided. This remedy is used by many
thousands of mothers and has never
been known to fail. It is, in fact, the
only remedy rhat can always be de-
pended upon and that is pleasant and
safe to take. Korsale by E. H. Miller.

“Phin. Christner, of West Salisbury,
called at our den the other day to have
THE Star sent to his son; John H., who
enlisted in the United States Navy for
a term of four years. Young Christer
is a stout, vigorous chap aged nearly
19 years and has been in the navy since
last May. He is on the United States re-
ceiving vessel Franklin, at Norfolk, Va.,
where he is being educated and trained
for the duties required of him. He
likes the navy first rate, and the otficers
wha have him in charge like him very
much. He has already been to Cuba
and a great many other places, and he
expects to see a great deal of the world
within the next few years. The young
man deserves congratulation for deter-
mining to make a man of himself, and
we also congratulate the parents on
having a son in the navy. They are
giving the boy every ‘encouragement to
make the best of his opportunity, and
we hope they may live to see their son
bring honor to himself and to them.
Good luck to all parties concerned, and
mark our word, John H. Christner,
whose father is a coal miner, will give
a better account of himself than the
many young men who are born
rich and reared amid idleness and
luxury.
John Rodamer, the big, genial and
whole-souled fur and ginseng buyer of
West Salisbury, was in West Virginia,
some time ago, buying ginseng. He
says he had some very amusing ex-
perience in that state. One day he
stopped at a dilapidated country house
and asked for dinner and feed for his
horse. The good lady of the house re-
plied: "I reckon we kin accommydate
ye. Jest take your critter to that ’ere
stable yander an’ gin him sum hay an’
oats, then cum to. the house an’ Sary
ill git you a meal o’ vituals.” Thaking
her, genial John took the “critter” to
the stable and “done fed him,” after
which he returned to the house for his
dinner. After being seated at the ta-
ble with a big “corn dodger” on his
plate, he noticed a pitcher of syrup on
the far end of the table, and in polite
language asked that the syrup be pass-
ed to him. “Syrup!” remarked the
good housewife in amazement, “law
sakes, stranger, I dunno what ye
mean!” Then John pointed to it,
whereupon the woman replied: *Wall
I swow ef you city fellers aint got the
quarest names fer things I ever
hearn iell of ; here in this kentry we
call that stuff larses.” Then John
smiled + nd “done et corn dodgers” and
“larses” until all the cornmeal it the
shack was exhausted. But he paid for
the same, gave the mother and daugh-
ter each a° chew of Dog Leg tobacco
and departed with their profuse thanks,

Our Uncle M. P. Liehty G ts a Into
B2d Wreck.
M. P. Lichty, an uncle of the editor,
arrived at, Rockwood onn Monday, Dec.
1st, from North Dakota. He will visit
his sister, Mrs. Eliza Enos, and other
near relatives near Rockwood fer afew
weeks, then come to Salisbury for a
visit with his many friends and relatives
in and around this town. As soon as
| Mr. Lichty arrived at Rockwood he
dropped a few lines to Tie Star, stating
that the train he left Chicago on was
badly wrecked, Sunday morning, be-
tween Youngstown and New Castle
Junction, Ohio. The passenger train
ran into an open switch, colliding with
a freight train. The baggage and
express cars were smashed tosplinters,
one engineer was killed and several
other train men badly injured.
Fortunately, only one of the passengers
was badly hurt, but the crash was
something terriffic, and the passengers
were violently thrown from their seats
amid a shower of broken glass, ete.
Uncle Mahlon’s numerous friends
here will all be glad to know that he
escaped unhurt, and when he lands
here he will find a royal welcome in
store for him. He left here in the
spring of 1876, and this is the first time
he came east since. Mr. Lichty was
born on the farm now occupied by
John M. Wright, near Boynton, and
one of the log cabins his father erected
on that farm is still standing.
On Thanksgiving morning a very
pretty wedding took place in St. Mich-

also of West Salisbury, were pronoune-
ed man and wife by the Rev. Father
I'arrall. The groom is a son of the late
Henry Brandler, and the bride a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Michael
Knecht. A reception was given at the

were present report a very fine affair

Could hardly express the thanks of
Homer Hall, of West Point, Ia. ILis-
ten why: A severe cold had settled on
his lungs, causing a most obstinate
cough. Several physicians said he had
consumption, but could not help him.
When all thought he was doomed he
began to use Dr. King’s New Discovery
for Consumption, and writes—"it com-
pletely cured me and saved my life. I
now weigh 227 Ibs.” It’s positively guar-
anteed for Coughs, Colds and Lung
troubles. Price 50c and $1.00. Trial

An editor desiring thejnews asked a
man to write it from his neighborhood
and got this reply: “We have two
school marms, the hog cholera, about
fifty bushels of potatoes and a tarnal
fool who married a cross-eyed gal be-
cause she had a mule and forty acres
of land, and the same is your humble
correspondent.”
THE PUGILISTS.
An Interesting Exhibition in Hay’s
Opera House.
The glove contests given in Hay’s
opera house, last Saturday evening,
drew a fair audience and proved quite
a treat for thoseinterested. in the sport.
The first on the program was a 4-
round bout between Wm. Pugh and
Glen Johnson, of Frostburg, Md. A
couple of the rounds were quite inter-
esting, and blood began to flow quite
freely from Johnson’s nose in the sec-
ond round. However, Johnson seemed
none the worse for wear on that ac-
count, but made it exceedingly lively
for his antagonist from start to finish.
He was the lighter of the two men. ap-
parently, and did all the rushing, his
antagonist acting principally on the
defensive. Both were very clever men,
and the result was declared a draw.
The next was a 3-round bout between
Clare Sperry and Frank F. McMahon,
also of Frostburg. Sperry is said to be
a new man at the business, while Me-
Mahon is a pugilist of considerable ex-
perience. The former, however, proved
to be a formidable antagonist and suc-
ceeded in drawing blood from MecMa-
hon’s nose. But ‘both men showed
themselves to be very clever and even-
ly matched. The bout ended in a
draw.
The third and last bout was a 6-round
contest between Jack Crawford, of
Erostburg, and W. H. Yutzy, of Somer-
set county, Pa. Both men were wildly
cheered when presented to the audi-
ence, as they are well known here and
are both prime favorites among the
sporting fraternity. They gave a very
lively exhibition and proved to be very
evenly matched. Yutzy being far the
younger man, did most of the rushing,
but the “old man” showed himself well
able to keep out of harm’s way. He
got one pretty stiff punch on the nose,
which started the blood to flow, but the
way he landed on Yutzy’s body, caus-
ing the skin to take on the color of red
flannel, brought forth round after round
of applause. Old Jack, in spite of the
fact that he is about 50 years of age,
can still do business with the most of
them; but Yutzy is a foman worthy of
his steel. This bout was also declared
a draw.
The contests were all governed by
the revised Marquis of Queensbury
rules, and all were friendly affairs and
for scientific points. All who were
present greatly enjoyed the sport.
