Twenty-four rioters are now in jnil at Somerset as ihe result of the Bos- well riot. It has been said that every first class diar owns a dog. Every first class liar also owns a fish rod and a gun. A dog is sometimes better than the ~company he keeps. We do not mean when he is associating with other dogs, put when associating with his master. A Grantsville maiden of suppressed .age made the discovery that what she believed to be a man under her bed was only a dummy placed there by a mischievous boy. She was madder «than a wet hen at the disappointment George M. Hoblitzell, whose serious sillness as mentioned in last week's *STAR, died Saturday morning last. He was a prominent business man of Hyndman and a son of J. J. Hoblitzell, of Meyersdale. He is survived by a «wife and one son. “Bill” Segge called at Tue Star of- «fice on Tuesday with blood in his eye. .He wanted the editor to apologize for -gaying that “Bill” Sexge would be be- hind the bars if he had his dues. We didn’t apologize, but we did promptly fire the evil-eyed William out. Hon. E. D. Miller, of Rockwood, re- cently recovered from a severe attack ~of typhoid fever. He lost about 70 pounds of flesh during his illness, but “hs friends are glad that he recovered. ‘He is again in Pittsburg in charge of this work in the Pure Food office. Last Friday and Saturday some im- -mense ice gorges formed along the river at various points, and as they «were swept away by the high water :farnished much amusement to the crowds awaiting the breaks. Much damage has been done to fences, . bridges, etc., as the ice was the heaviest ithat fermed on the Casselman for rmany years. Miss Mildred Glotfelty was vaccin- .ated about five years ago, and ever -sinee that time the vaccinated arm is +very week and pains her intensely at vt¢imes. Several days ago she suffered «so severely with that arm that she tainted five times during the day. Mrs. Glotfelty says if she had a thou- =sand children, not another one of them «should be vaccinated. Windber is very nearly if not quite <he baby town of the state, yet the as- sessment just completed shows a total wvalaation of $897,000. The report shows 615 freeholders, 595 tenants, 984 -single men—a total of 1,822 taxable in- ihabitants. There are 940 school chil- «dren. and 186 births and 58 deaths have ~been reported. Last year the valua- ntion was $640,000, with 1,052 taxables. ¥red. Groff, of Berlin, who is the hustling, energetic Prohibition County . Chairman, says in remitting for a re- _newal of his subscription to THE STAR: -«Keep your eye on the returns from Berlin and Brothersvalley. There's .gomething doing.” We doubt it not, Frederick, for we know you are a thastler from away back and know how ¢o make it “snow” when you turn your- self loose. The Co-operative Fire Insurance Company of Berlin held a meeting at Roekwood last week, when the follow- dng named directors for the ensuing year were elected. W. H. Ruppel, H. L. Sipe, Somerset; Harrison Snyder, Rockwood ; J. B. Davis, Ursina; Jere- miah Maurer, Stoystown; Josiah Specht, Kantner; S. C. Hartley, Mey- ersdale, P. J. Blough, Hooversville; C. A. Floto, Berlin. By a simple rule the length of the days and nights at any time of the year can be ascertained by simply ~doubling the time of the sun’s rising, which will give the length of the night, and by doubling the time of the set- ting, which will give the length of the day. For instance, if the sun rises at 5 o’cloek, the length of the night will be ten hours, and if it is set at 7 o’clock, the length of the day will be fourteen hours. Never growl because a newspaper fails to give every scrap of news, so long as you take no pains t® give the editor information. We have heard of readers who are awfully put out at times because we make no note of the arrival or departure of friends visiting them, or of social affairs, or of the heaven-sent babies that their homes over night. The average news- paper man isn’t a medium nor a mind- reader, but gets most of his news the same way the milkman gets his milk, by pumping.—Ex. Speer’s Socialite Claret is made from a combination of the Oporto Grapes, gathered before they raisin with other grapes and mixed in the masher pre- vious to pressing. This is a fine dry wine—and extensively used as a fine table wine for dinner. The Burgundy Wine is made entirely from the Oporto Grape grthered nnd pressed before they raisin, and is a dry wine, but more rich and heavy than the Claret. These two wines are considered by connois- seurs as equal if not superior to any wines in the world. 1t visit A man resolved to quit smoking on New Year's day. He kept his resolu- tion manfully that day, but in the in- terval he drank four gallons of water, ate three quarts of salted peanuts, chewed 25¢. worth of gum, quarreled with his wife, licked one neighbor’s dog and almost had a fight over it. raised a row with another neighbor about his chickens, lost several good customers on account of being crankey, kicked the cat out of the house, fired the hired girl, insulted his mother-in-law, and other things too numerous to mention. He’s smoking again. Moral: Never acquire the smoking habit. A Laporte man who is very fond of honey visited Williamsport and was served with some delicious honey at the hotel where he took dinner. He was there again the next week and his wife was with him the second time. He had told her about the honey and they went to the same hotel. Dinner was served, but there was no honey. He beckoned a colored waiter to him and inquired. “Say, Sambo, where is my honey?” He was almost paralyzed when that worthy grinned and replied: “She doan work here no more, boss. She done got a job at de silk mill.” That man’s wife got an expensive new dress before they returned to Laporte.—Dushore Review. Thornton Menser,a well known black- smith, of Davidaville, this county, was found dead in a snow drift at the side of the road near Davidsville, recently. He was a brother of Noah Menser, who used to reside in Salisbury. The de- ceased had been in Hooversville on business and left there for home about eight o’clock in the evening. He was traveling in a sleigh, and the first in- timation that he had met with an ac- cident was given the following morn- ing when the horse he had been driv- ing turned up at Hooversville with the sleigh slightly wrecked. Noah Short was on his way from Landstreet to Hooversville, and along the road near the Stonycreek mine he saw the body of a man lying head first in a snow drift. He hurried to town and told what he had seen. Immediately a party was made ap, and in an hour it returned with the body of the man, who proved to be the missing black- smith. It was found that his left tem- ple had been tally crushed, and it is the theory that in a runaway he was thrown from his sleigh and killed. We notice that the Rockwood Ga- zette has decided to charge advertis- ing rates hereafter for publishing cards of thanks, resolutions of respect, church festival announzements, etc. We are glad to note that the Gazette is doing in that respect just what nearly all newspapers of any standing have been doing for years. Following is what Brother Overacker has to say on the subject, and it tallies very closely with some of our own experience: ‘“Here- after The Gazette will charge a rate of five cents a line for cards of thanks and resolutions of respect. It will also make a like charge for notices of church festivals and entertainments that are conducted for profit. Our ad- vertising columns are our stock in trade, and we have long since discov- ered that what people can get for noth- ing they are loath to pay for and have mighty little appreciation of. The Ga- zette is always pleased to receive and publish items and articles of general interest to its readers, but it has not failed to observe that the most numer- ous bequests to its news columns are free advertisements in disguise. WHATS IN A NAME? Everything is in the name when it comes to Witch Hazel Salve. E.C. De- Witt & Co. of Chicago discovered some years ago how to make a salve from Witch Hazel that is a specific for Piles. For blind bleeding, itching and protrud- ing Piles, eczema, cuts, burns, bruises and all skin diseases DeWitt’s Salve has no equal. This bas given rise to numerous worthless counterfeits. Ask for DeWitt’s—the genuine. Sold by E. H. Miller. 2-1 a 3 BRISA s a I a 8. Two Big Chunks of Truth f.om the Rockwood Gazette. The poet says: “He prayeth best who loveth best all things both great and small.” But it sometimes seems to us that the fellow who prays most often, longest and loudest loves only himself and his own voice. Any fool ean pinch pennies until the American eagle squeals, and grow rich, but in 0 doing be may snuff his little soul entirely out, or reduce it to such infinitesimal quantity that the devil will need to search for him with a 10,- 000-magnifier when he wants to give him a bath in brimstone. MEST CURED AFTER SUFFERING 10 YEARS. B. F. Hare, Supt. Miami Cycle & Mfg. Co., Middletown, O., suffered for ten years with dyspepsia. He spefit hun- dreds of dollars for medicine and with doctors without receiving any per- manent benefit. He says, “One night while feeling exceptionally bad I was about to throw down the evening paper when 1 saw an item in the paper re- garding the merits of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. 1 concluded to try it, and while 1 had no faith in it I felt better after the second dose. After using two bot- tles I am stronger and better than I have been in years, and 1 recommend Kodol Dyspepsia Cure to my friends and acquaintances. suffering from stomach trouble.” Sold by E. H.

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- asked him to buy her a bottle of it, 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 gave his mother that he has since rec- ommended it to many others. For sale by E. H. Miller. 2-1 Suit Against Rallroad. Charles E. Specht, of Stoystown, bas brought a suit for $1000 damages against the Baltimo.e & Ohio Railroad Company. The plaintiff bases his claim on the loss of some cattle in transit from New Castle to Stoystown. It is alleged in the plaintiff's statement that he shipped three carloads of live stock, consisting of seventy-one head of cattle and twenty-four calves, of the value of over $4,000; that the cars were delayed at New Castle Junetion, Connellsville and Rockwood, during which time the cattle were not fed or watered. When the stock reached Stoystown two cows were dead and forty others in bad condition. Five of the latter died within a few days. At- torney E. O. Kooser represents the plaintiff. —Somerset Standard.

Bellamy, a locomotive fireman, of Burlington, Iowa. “I was weak and pale, without any appetite and all ran down. As I was about to give up, I got a bottle of Electric Bitters, and after taking it, I felt as well as I ever did in my life.” Weak, sickly, run down people always gain new life, strength and vigor-from their use. Try them. Satisfaction guaranteed by E. H. Miller. Price 50 cents. 2-1 Three from the Meyersdale Repub- lean. On Monday Dr. Bruce Lichty ex- changed his property on Main street, that he occupies as a residence and office, with Mr. John Slicer, receiving in exchange therefor the property now occupied by the Meyersdale Bak- ery, Hiller, the tailor, and by Mr. Slicer as a residence, and known as the old Meyers property, on Main street. Mr, Slicer paid a goodly sum in cash as difference between the Hotel property, on the South Side, changed hands one day last week, Mr. W. W. Stiver, by purchase, becoming sole owner thereof. The consideration, it is'said, was $6,000. For the past sev- ern] years Mr. Stiver has conducted this hotel, and by careful attention to business has succeeded in building up a remunerative patronage. Mr. Stivers many friends are glad to know that he is prospering and that he has now be- come a more permanent fixture in Meyersdale. “= Johnstown people, assisted by the people living along the Somerset & Cambria branch of the B. & O., are pe- titioning that road for an additional passenger. train over their line, and it is given out that their efforts are more than likely to meet with suecess. It is snid that the new train will leave Johnstown in the evening and run through to this city, and will leave here in the early morning for the re- turn trip. This would certainly be ap- preciated by the people of this end of the county, as well as the people along the line of the 8. & C. branch, for it would then be possible to go to Somer- set and transact business and return the same day. The peculiar cough which indicates croup, is usually well known to the mothers of croupy children. No time should be lost in the treatment of ‘it, and for this purpose no medicine has received more universal approval than Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. Do not waste valuable time in experiment- ing with untried remedies, no matter bow highly they may be recommended, but give this medicine as directed and all symptoms of croup will quickly dis- appear.
