J. C. Mackey has moved from Hamlin to Morrill, Kan., where THE Star will keep him posted on the do- ings of old Salisbury. He sends best wishes to all old friends in this com- munity. Same to you, Rev. There are two new cases of smallpox reported in the Baker family, at Boyn- ton, and one death from that disease is reported from Meyersdale, Arthur Mur- ray, aged 19 years, being the victim. Wo new cases are reported from Mey- ersdale. This issue of THE Star is No. 1.. Vol. X. Tue Star is no longer a spring ehicken or uncertain experiment Itis one of the solid and substantial business institutions of our town, and no news- paper in Somerset county enjoys a better credit. Miss Edna Wahl, who has charge of our central telephone office, is confined to her home with a badly injured ankle. A heavy counter in the telephone office was toppled over in some way, striking our “hello girl” on the ankle, inflicting a very painful wound. John J. Livengood and sons are again permitted to sniff the pure air of liber- ty. The smallpox is a thing of the past at their home, and Uncle John says he wouldn’t allow himself to be peuned up that way again by anybody. They have the sympathy of everybody. Word reaches us as we go to press that George Hoblitzell, of Hyndman, was smitten by =a paralytic stroke, Wednesday night, and has been un- eonscious ever since. His physicians say he cannot recover. This is indeed sad news to Mr. Hoblitzell's many Salisbury friends. J. C. Balliet requests Tur STAR to gay that be is in no way connected with the restaurant and pool room recently establishetl at Jennings, Md., by Howard Yaist, as has been reported. Mr. Balliet says he has leased a coal mine up there, which Howard will likely manage for him. John W. Ringler and family have again taken up their abode in this community, having moved into the Zach Wagner residence just outside of the borough limits. It looks kind of patural to see old “Daddy” around again, and we hope theyll find this eommunity as much to their liking as in days gone by.

They were a warm-hearted. jolly crowd and have many friends here. A western editor says: Some toagh citizen “cussed” the President in front of a church, and the city papers made a half-column sensation out of it. We have been “cussed” in front, behind and on both sides of churches, school houses and business buildings many times, and nobody paid any attention to it. We're not jealous—tkat’s simply the difference between a country editor and President of the United States.

He is very accommodating and gives his en- tire house his closest personal atten- tion. Congressman A. F.

He spent hun- dreds of dollars for medicine and with doctors receiving any per- manent benefit. He says, “One night while feeling exceptionally bad I was about to throw down the evening paper when I saw an item in the paper re- garding the merits of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. I concluded to try it, and while I had no faith in it 1 felt better after the second dose. After using two bot- tles T am stronger and better than I have been in years, and I recommend Kodol Dyspepsia Cure to my friends without and acquaintances suffering from stomach trouble.” Sold bpE.

The doctor writes that he wants THE STAR to twinkle in his new home.

Our best wishes go with yon. J. C. Klink, who lives out near Laurel church, got a bad scare a couple of weeks ago, from which he is only just beginning to recover. He ran onto a case of smallpox, by accident. of course, and when he discovered the fact got out and let no unnecessary time elapse in getting home. Upon arriving near the house he called to the members of his family not to approach nearer than they were and apprised them of the impending danger. A room was pre- pared for Mr. Klink and there he has since isolated himself. The time hav- ing expired for the appearance of the disease, Mr. Klink will free himself from his voluntary immurement.— Rockwood Gazette. Very often we notice two pieces of work executed by boys who have had precisely the same advantages. Oneof them you will find does his work in a slip-shod, careless manner, showing that the youth is thinking more of baseball or some other game than he is of the future. He does not seem to realize the great opportunity that is open to him, his only thought is of the present and how he can get the most fun out of play hours. The boys of this class are the kind who in after years will complain of their hard lot, and grumble because they cannot com- mand good salaries and are not elevat- ed to positions of trust. The other boy is careful and painstaking, his work at- tracts attention, and he is known for his methodical manner and reliability. He is the kind of young men who are sought by business men, who draw the best salaries, and the ones that are honored and respecied by their fellow- men. Itis within your power to be- long to either class. Which do you prefer?—Ex. A VEST-POCKET DOCTOR.

Fire or no fire, I think we need a little during this cold weather. In my second letter I told nothing but the truth, even if you didn’t print it, but so let it be. I am still able to chew my tobacco and feel pretty good. Harvey Johns, one of our Salisbury set county. has moved from his old boys, is here plastering the Hitehins house. He is doing a good job and getting along fine. He expects his brother Arthur over today to help him. Business is moving along lively in this town, and another big brick build- ing is going up by the side of the Glad- stone hotel. However, work on it has been discontinued until the weather gets better. The Hitchins brothers are contem- plating the erection of about fifteen new houses, if times remain as good as they are now, and that will give em- ployment for a while to somebody. The town has built up considerable during the past year. Well, Brother Editor, if this is not too hot, you may publish it. Otherwish, throw it into the waste basket. Those fiery balls I molded last week I will shoot myself when I get over there and get a good chance. 1 will shoot them right at the ones they are intended for. All I want is a chance, and T will tell them lots more than I wanted you to tell. J. D. MILLER. SAVED FROM TERRIBLE DEATH The family 7 Mrs. M. L. Bobbitt, of Bargerton, Tenn., saw her dying and were powerless to save her. The most skillful physicians and every remedy used, failed, while consumption was slowly but surely taking her life. In this terrible hour Dr. King’s New Dis- covery tor Consumption turned de- spair into joy. The first bottle brought immediate relief and its continued use completely cured her.

Mrs. Johanna Soderholm, of Fergus Falls, Minn., fell and dislocated her 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 adver- tised for sprains and soreness, and she asked him to buy ber a bottle of i, which he did. It quickly relieved her and enabled her tosleep, which she had not done for several days. Theson was so much pleased with the relief it gnve his mother that he has since rec- ommended it to many others. For sale by E. H. Miller. 2-1 FROM THIEVING TO MURDER. Newton Andrews, who Stole Pen- nies, is Now in the Shadow of Gallows. To show how a young man who starts upon a criminal career in a small way may climb the ladder of crime to its very top—even to the gallows—there is a case at hand. : It will be remembered by many readers who keep in touch with the proceedings of our criminal courts that at the December term in this county in 1901 Newton Andrews and two other young men were charged with break- ing open the weighing machine at the Somerset station-house and robbing it of the pennies it contained. When the young men were called before the court they pleaded guilty to the charge, and were sentenced to the county jail for a period of thirty days. They served that time and were released, and, so far as we know, have not since been heard of in a public way till now. On the night of New Year’seve three young men entered the home of Thom- as Youngblood in the suburbs of Den- ver, Colorado, for the purpose of rob- bery, and in their desperate determin- ation shot to death Mrs. Youngblood and wounded her son. They made their escape. but were soon captured, and it turns out that one of three is no other than Newton Andrews, who fig- ‘ared in the criminal records of this county as stated above, for at an inves: tigation by the coroner, when the three murderers made confessions giving the details of the murder, Andrews was asked: “Were you ever in trouble before?” and he replied: “Yes, in a place called Somerset, in Pennsylvania.” One of the three murderers said that Andrews fired the shot that killed Mrs. Youngblood, but Andrews denied that at the coroner’s inquest. When the three men were arraigned before the court at Denver they plead- ed guilty, Andrews and one of his com- panions admitting that they fired the shots that caused the death of Mrs. Youngblood and wounded her son, and the other companion admitting that he was present.—Somerset Standard.
