A CURE FOR ECZEMA.
My baby had Eczema so bad that its
head was a solid mass of scabs. and its
hair all came out. I tried many reme-
dies, but none seemed todo any perma-
manent good uutil I used DeWitt’s
Witch Hazel Salve. The Eczema is
cured, the scabs are gone and the little
one’s scalp is perfectly clean and heal-
thy, and its hair is growing beautifully
again. I cannot give too much praise
to DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve.—Frank
Farmer, Bluff City, Ky. In buying
Witch Hazel Salye look out for coun-
terfeits. DeWitt’s is the original and
the only one containing pure Witch
Hazel. The name E. C. DeWitt & Co.

A Corporation Attack Upon J. A.
Berkey.
Last week the Lonaconing Star, a
corporation organ edited by one J. J.
Robinson, a corporation tool, made a
bitter attack upon J. A. Berkey. The
cause of the attack was the alleged fact
that Mr. Berkey has been giving his
professional services free to the miners’
organization in their fight so dissolve
an injunction recently issued against
the miners at the behest of one of the
big coal corporations. The average
citizen of Somerset county doesn’t care
a straw who gets the benefit of free
legal service, and if the miners are so
fortunate as to secure the services of
so able an attorney as Mr. Berkey, free
of cost, they are indeed to be congrai-
ulated. Anyway, it’s none of the Lona-
coning Star’s business; but that’s all
you can expect from a corporation tool
and a defender of scab labor, such as
Robinson has been for years. In his
attack upon Mr. Berkey, Editor Robin-
son is merely carrying out the instruc-
tions of his masters, who are paying
him for maligning the honest working
men and their friends in this county
and in the George’s Creek region. The
corporations have always been against
Mr. Berkey, but all the same he has
risen from a poor country boy to the
front ranks of the legal profession in
Western Pennsylvania, and his great
popularity with the common people
will raise him still higher and place
him in other positions of honor.
A MOTHER’S RECOMMENDATION.
I have used Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy for a number of years, and
have no hesitancy in saying that it is
the best remedy for coughs, colds and
croup I have ever used in my family.
I have not words to express my confi-
dence in this remedy.—Mrs. J. A.
Moore, North Star, Mich. For sale by
E. H. Miller. 3-1
“Little Giant’’ Vanquishes ‘Big
General.”
The “brain clouting” General Koontz,
Sculls & Co. received at the hearing
upon the injunction proceedings
against Republican County Chairman
Chas. C. Shaffer was a sight to behold.
The testimony and arguments took
place before Judge R. E. Umbel, of
Fayette county.
The complainants sought to oust
‘Chas. C. Shafer from the Republican
county ohairmanship and force it upon
E. E. Pritts, who had by his own act
relinquished the office to Mr. Shafer,
according to the rules and regulations
governing the Republican county or-
ganization, and who was as much op-
posed to the attempted subversion of
the party rules as could Mr. Shafer
himself be.
On the one side as chief counsel in
the case was General Koontz, assisted
by W. H. Ruppel, Esq., and buttressed
and prompted by Bob and Timmie
Scull, Freddie Biesecker and other ma-
ligners of the General for the last
generation or more.
What ean be the trouble with the
General can only be inferred. It may
be that he is envious of the ascendency
being gained by some of the younger
legal lights, and then again, it may be
that he has come to faney the truth
was told about him these years past by
his present cronies, and in a spirit of
remorse he has gone into their camp to
make such feeble amends as he can by
helping them in their devious and re-
vengeful schemes.
On the other side was J. A. Berkey—
derisively dubbed the “Little Giant”
by the Herald, but so appropriate an
application that it is likely to stay put
—ably assisted by County Attorney
Rufus E. Meyers.
W. H. Ruppel, Esq., made a good
fight for his clients, but he had so poor
a case that it was evident long before
the close what the result would be.
Without leaving his seat after the
arguments were closed, Judge Umbel
issued a decree over-ruling the attempt
of Koontz, Sculls & Co. to oust Mr.
Shafer and nullify the several acts
performed by him during his incum-
bency as County Chairman.
It was such a brain clout as extin-
guished the light in the Herald head-
quarters and sent the “injunctionists”
scurrying to the inner recesses of their
private homes.—Berlin Record.
NEARLY FORFEITS HIS LiFE.

As “‘Lucifer’ Sees It.
Up at Salisbury they skin Republi-
cans alive if they are caught attending
a Citizens’ caucus and afterwards burn
them at the stake. The object, we
presume, is to drive decent men out of
the party so that the thugs, scalawags
and pie-counter bummers may make
graft honorable and stealing a virtue.
Down here we use the Citizens’ party
as a club to drive such scoundrelism
out of public office and away from the
public crib. Nor do we need the aid of
“eminent counsel” to help us.—Mey-
ersdale Commercial.
We hope “Lucifer” Smith feels better
since delivering himself of the above
batch of “tommyrot.” Inthe first place
it isn’t any of old “Lucifer’s” business
how the politics of Salisbury are run,
and in the second place any citizen of
Salisbury can attend any citizens’ cau-
cus he pleases. However,a man who
participates in a citizens’ caucus one
night has neither a moral nor a legal
right to attempt to participate in a Re-
publican caucus two nights later. In
other words, it is no more legal for a
man to participate in the nominations
of two political bodies during the same
campaign than it is for a man to wed
two wives at the same time. A man
must be either fish or fowl, figuratively
speaking, but he can’t be both.
We don’t know how it is in Meyers-
daie, but in Salisbury the so-called
citizens’ party movement is manipu-
lated by a set of political grafters that
lack standing in the old parties and
must depend on a combination to
further their ends. "A true citizens’
caucus is all right, but we have never
yet had that kind in Salisbury, and
even in Meyersdale, as late as last
year, Lou Smith and his Commercial
strenuously opposed a citizens’ ticket
and even went so far as to aid in put-
ting a second mongrel into the field, a
so-called people’s ticket, which, how-
ever, was wiped off the earth at the
polls.
MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.
One was pale and sallow and the
other fresh and rosy. Whence the dif-
ference? She who is blushing with
health uses Dr. King’s New Life Pills
to maintain it. By gently arousing
the lazy organs they compel good di-
gestion and head off constipation. Try
them. Only 25¢, at Miller’s Drug Store.

Republican Borough Caucus and
Nominations.
As per previous announcement, the
Republican borough caucus was held
in Hay’s opera house, Thursday even-
ing, Jan. 28th, and it afiords us much
pleasure to say that the attendance
was larger than that of any other po-
litical caucus held in Salisbury for
years. Several big “slobs” had been
hanging around the saloons for a
couple of days, tanking up and pre-
dicting that the Republican caucus
would be a failure for want of attend-
ance ; but they were sadly mistaken, as
“slobs” usually are.
The caucus was a very harmonious
one, and not a single dissention arose
between the committeeman and any of
the voters assembled, which has seldom
been the case heretofore. All agree
that the caucus was conducted on the
most fair basis, and th every Re-
publican in the house was accorded
fair treatment. Of course, some of
the candidates had their friends out in
full force, while others hadn’t, and as is
always the case, the careless ones got
left. It must be said, however, that no
soreness was manifested over the re-
sult, and the nominations seem to give
pretty general satisfaction among
straight Republicans, and all will ad-
mit that each candidate was fairly
nominated.
The only thing to mar the peace of
the occasion was a little house-clean-
ing that became necessary immediately
after the caucus was called to order.
It appears that a lot of toughs, princi-
pally Democrats and others who had
no business in the caucus, had been
sent there by some of the promoters of
a so-called citizens’ caucus, who had
their ignorant dupes well laden with
whisky and posted to break up the Re-
publican caucus if they could. The
committeeman was informed of the
plot during the afternoon, and he had
several officers on hand to nip the
dirty scheme in the bud. Therefore, as
soon as the caucus was called to order,
all members of other political parties
were politely requested to withdraw
from the hall. Some withdrew at once,
while others did not do so until threat-
ened with arrest. One young “smart
aleck” openly admitted that he was no
Republican, but he swore that he
wouldn’t vacate, and that he’d be d—d
if anybody could put him out. How-
ever, when Officer John Walker took
hold of him, he went out in a hurry, at
the same time resisting the officer all
he could. But he was only a “peepie”
in Walker’s hands, and the audience
was soon rid of him, after which busi-
ness was at once proceeded with. The
disturber was next day hauled up be-
fore Burgess Lowry and fined for dis-
orderly conduct. The chances are that
he will also have to face the music for
disturbing a public meeting and re-
sisting two officers, which will give
him three trials in our county court.
Much, however, depends on his future
conduct and the conduct of his fellow
conspirators, every one of whom may
also be arrested at any time. We don’t
like to see anyone in trouble, but the
toughs will be taught a valuable lesson
if nothing else will do them. They
can’t run this town just yet. Follow-
ing is a list of the Republican nomi-
nees:
Judge of Election, C. M. May.
Inspector, W. B. Stevanus.
Town Council, W. S. Easton and
Robert Cochrane.
School Directors, Asa B. Newman
and Morgan Williams.
Assessor, R. 8. Johns.
Auditor, Austin Brown.
+ Street Commissioner, J. B. Martin.
The citizens’ (?) nominations were
published last week, and it’s, now up to
the voters.
BETTER THAN GOLD.
“I was troubled for several years
with chronic indigestion and nervous
debility,” writes F. J. Green, of Lancas-
ter, N. H. “No remedy helped me un-
til I began using Electric Bitters, which
did me more good than all the medi-
cines I ever used. They have also kept
my wife in excellent health for years.
She says Electric Bitters are just splen-
did for female troubles; that they are
a grand tonic and invigorator for weak,
run down women. No other medicine
can take its place in our family.” Try
them. Only 50c. Satisfaction guaran-
teed by E. H. Miller. 3-1
MORE CRIME AT BOSWELL.
A Beautiful and Respected White
Girl Murdered by a Negress.
More blood has been spilled at Bos-
well. This time it is murder most
foul. Minnie Friedline, a handsome
and accomplished daughter of Isaac
Friedline, was shot to death by Mrs.
Carrie Simpson, the wife of a colored
barber. Jealousy was the cause of the
crime, but there was no ground for
the jealousy as far as Miss Friedline is
concerned. It appears, however, that
the husband of the murderess was
greatly smitten with Miss Friedline’s
beauty, and that he took a devilish de-
light in making his wife believe that he
was very intimate with the innocent
and pretty white girl. Fired by jeal-
ousy, therefore, the black woman pro-
cured a revolver and shot Miss Fried-
line, killing her almost instantly on
the street. The negress then gave her-
self up and is now in jail at Somerset.
Her life will likely pay the penalty of
her crime.
Miss Friedline was a clerk

for me. I was given up to die. The
offer of a free trial bottle of Dr. King’s

APPAREL FOR THE YOUNG GIRL.
Dainty Simplicity the Key Note—
Refinement in Toilet Aeccessor-
ies—Modes of Perfumes.
[Special Correspondence to ThE Star.}
Afternoon and evening toilets for
young girls differ little from the modes
prevailing in the adult world, and the
quaint models patterned after those of
ber grandmother do much to enhance
her girlish charms.
And with the wide scope of the pres-
ent styles, home dressmaking is much
less dfficult than with the severe modes
of a few seasons ago. More than one
ravishing toilet is possible to the girl of
limited means, and never was so wide
a scope for individuality of taste.
But let dainty simplicity be the key
note in the young girl’s apparel. The
really well dressed girl is never over-
dressed. Of handwork there cannot be
too much, and the material may. be
fine, but never gorgeous.
The exquisite white gown I have de-
picted for you in my illustration is a
model particularly suited to the dainty
miss not yet “out.” It is made of
washable Peau de Drepe, its yoke hand
tucked. and is prettily trimmed in
scroll design in white satin ribbon, ap-
pligued on by fagot stitching in heavy
silk.
The dark blue Silk Krash skirt om
my second figure exemplifies the new
and pooular tucked model that is par-
ticularly in evidence among well-dress-
ed women. The tucks are deep and
four in number, the lowest about six
inches in depth, and the others are
graduated, the top one being about
three inches deep. Soft and rich, but
not too dressy, Silk Krash is a suitable
fabric for all practical wear.
The girl or woman who wishes to ap-
pear well-dressed, no matter how much
individualty she introduces into her
gowns, must always carry an under-
tone of the modes that be,even to her
smallest accessories, her boots and
gloves carefully selected, and her per-
fume refined and delicate.
And as the fashions change in dress,
so do they in perfumes. and in these
days of 1830 modes milady delicately
scents her every garment with a new
and subtle bouquet of old-time quaint~
ness known to the fastidious as Enig-
ma—a creation of the great Lubin of
Paris, whose fame began in our grand-
mothers’ time.
With care in the selection of her
hats, avoiding all outer styles, a fash-
ionable, though not exaggerated model
in her corset—and any one of the C—B
a la Spirite mode]s is an excellent one
to choose—any blouse that leans to-
ward simplicity rather than showiness,
and she will present a charming picture
of our much-admired American woman-
hood. Eran Rozk.
