Our genial friend M. D. Thomas
orders Tur Star sent to his father at
Bridgeport, Conn. There are a good
many people in this town and vieinity
who are sending the paper to distant
friends, and there are many more who
ought to do so. Your home paper is
always appreciated by those who have
an interest in your welfare or an
interest in this locality.
Mr. Charles F. Sollenberger, an
employe of Tur Star office, received a
message, last Wednesday, announcing
the death of his sister, Mrs. Wm. Shaw,
of Philadelphia. Deceased was aged
about 27 years. She is survived by a
husband and two children, also by her
parents, four brothers and four sisters,
who reside in Chambersburg, Pa. The
remains were interred in Philadelphia,
Friday last. .
Mrs. Johanna Soderholm, of Fergus
Falls, Minn. fell and dislocated ber
shoulder. She had a surgeon get it
back in place as soon as possible, but it
was quite sore and pained her very
much. Her son mentioned that he
had seen Chamberlain’s Pain Balm
advertised for sprains and soreness,
and she asked him to buy her a bottle
of it, which he did. It quickly relieved
her and enabled her to sleep, which she
had not done for several days. The
son was so much pleased with the relief
it gave his mother that he has since
recommended it to many others. For

Ed. Tedrow, who had been braking
on the Pennsylvania railroad at Young-
wood, Pa., resigned his position on
Monday last. Ed.is not in the least
afraid of work, and is a good hand at
almost anything he goes at, but he says
he can’t stand it to work day and night
and get no sleep. Such is the life of a
railroader. Ed. will go to Holsopple,
where his brother John now resides,
and will likely engage in mining.
Several boys in West Salisbury dis-
covered on Monday evening that James
Russell’s house was aflre. As all of
the family were absent from home at
the time, the door was promptly broken
open and the flames extinguished.
Some kindling about the cook stove
had taken fire, and when the blaze was
discovered a pretty good sized hole
was burned in the floor. If the fire
would have had a start of five or ten
minutes more, the house would have
been consumed.
A Missouri editor who i about to

As an evidence of the growth of
business in the Recorder’s office during
the past twelve years, the Somerset
Herald says it is only necessary to take
note of the number of deeds entered of
record during that time. A. J. Hile-
man, Register and Recorder for 1891,
1892 and 1893, entered 3,000 deeds.
was followed by Jacob 8. Miller, with
3,110. Next came James M. Cover,
with 4.291 to his credit, and then
followed John S. Shaffer with 8,787.
There is every reason to believe that
during the coming three years Recorder
of Deeds Welsh will have larger
number of deeds to record than his
immediate predecessor, adds the
Herald.

Unconscious Form Croup.
During a sudden and terrible attack
of croup our little girl was unconscious
from strangulation, says A. L. Spafford,
postmaster, Chester, Mich., and a dose
of One Minute Cough Cure was admin-
istered and repeated often. It reduced
the swelling and inflammation, cut the
mucus and shortly the child was resting
easy and speedily recovered. It cures
Coughs, Colds, La Grippe, and all
Throat and Lung troubles. One Minute
Cough Cure lingers in the throat and
chest and enables the lungs to contrib-
ute pure, health-giving oxygen to the

You fellows who think on editor

and read and write and have a gocd,
easy time generally, are invited to read
the following from the Peru, Ind,
Chronicle: “Down at Shelbyville a
bachelor editor is in a terrible predica-
ment as the result of a reckless proof
reader. Having occasion to apologize
to his readers for a delay in issuing his
paper, he wrote: ‘We beg the indul-
gence of readers for being a day late
this week. Our failure to get out on
time was the result of the physical
demoralization of the editor, caused by
sleeping too close to the boarding
house window.” The cursed compositor
set the last word ‘widow,’ and the proof
reader failed to discover the omission
ot the leiter ‘n’ The poor editor's
trunk is still at the boarding house,

The first and only victim of smallpox
during the existing epidemic in Rock-
wood was Harvey Royal Berkey, who
yielded his life to the dread contagion
on Tuesday, at about noon. at the home
of his brother-in-law, Dr. C. J. Hem-
minger,on West Market street. It was
not known outside the immediate
family of Dr. Hemminger that the
young man was ill, or even that he was
in Rockwood, so far as the Gazette
can ascertain, and certainly the board
of health had no knowledge of his
location or illness until the morning of
his death,when Dr. Hemminger notified
the health officer. Dr. White, of
Connellsville, at the request of the
health board made Monday eveniug,
arrived Tuesday morning, and he pro-
nounced the case of young Berkey as
hemorrhagic smallpox. This is said to
be a form of the disease wherein the
vesicles and pustules form on the
internal organs and the blood vessel
become weakened and burst as a con-
sequence, producing death in a vast
majority of cases. It is also an ex-
tremely rare form of smallpox, and
occurs in cases only where the system
is weak and the blood impure. Berkey,
who was teaching the winter term of
the Rhoads school, in Black township,
is said to have been ill during the last
day he was at the school, which was
Wednesday of last week, when he
fainted several times. It is a later
report that his ailment was the result
of taking cold in a vaccine gore, his
brother-in-law having inoculated him
several weeks previous when the
Malsberry case was diagnosed, and the
same rumor intimates that his death
was not due to smallpox, but rather to
vaccination and complications. Be
this as it may, the case is surrounded
with much that seems inexplicable at
this time.—Rockwood Gazette.
