WITH AN OCCASIONAL JOKE ADDED FOR SPIGE.
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

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.

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.

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

DISLOCATED HER SHOULDER.
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

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.

A VERY CLOSE CALL.
“I stuck to my engine, although every
joint ached and every nerve was rack-
ed with pain” writes €. W. 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.”

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. For sale by E. H. Miller. 2-1
