Pretty Etta McClintock's Life Made Hideous by Vaccination, a Crime Protected by Law. The anti-vaccinationists have an ob- ject lesson to prove their logic in the case of Miss Etta McClintock, of near Silbaugh church, Lower Turkeyfoot township. Miss Etta ie an attractive and cultured girl, the daughter of well- to-do parents, and until her health was blighted by the poisonous inoculation, no girl in Somerset county had brighter prospects. About sixteen months ago, when the smallpox scare was rampant, she was vaccinated. The poisonous virus did not “take” immediately, but after several months an abscess formed on her arm from the eXects of the la- tent poison, that was something ter- rible. The sore became black and ugly, and the whole arm swelled great- ly, while the pain was unbearable "and resort was had to opiates to relieve the sufferer. Miss Etta’s arm was operat- ed on twice at a Pittsburg hospital, and finally she was pronounced incur- able. The sore breaks out in renewed malignaney about once a month, and the diseased flesh has been cut out many times, which produces temporary relief. The whole system of the girl has become permeated with the poison and she is a hopeless invalid from the effects of the vaceination, while she is a terrible mental sufferer as a result of the opiates she has taken to render her unconscious of the awful physical pain that bas racked her body. There are very many people in the vicinity of Miss Etta’s home who would prefer smallpox, or even death, to vaccina- tion.—Rockwood Gazette. What better evidence do men want against the crime of vaccination than the case of Miss McClintock? Yet there are fanatics, cranks, bigots and tyrants who favor compulsory vac- cination, and who are ready to gulp down as facts all the stuff vaccination fiends in the medical profession are spreading among the people for reve- nue only to the medical profession. They think it shows wisdom to gulp down everything that .doctors tell them, notwithstanding the fact that there is unlimited evidence that vac- cination is a dangerous and a dirty crime against nature. We believe there are very few doc- tors who at heart believe in the dam- nable outrage of vaccination, but they fear to cry aloud against it, knowing that it would bring down upon their heads the wrath of thousands of the profession who would object to having such a prolific source of revenue taken away from them. And thus the reign of terror continues, and men and wom- en must submit to having their inno- cent, dimple-faced ckildren polluted and poisoned by a rotten and damna- ble virus that is an insult to God and a blight upon the human race. Granting that vaccination is a pre- ventative against smallpox, or that it modifies the disease (and there is little real evidence that it does either) would it not be better for a whole community to have smallpox than for one person to be maimed for life after the manner of Ella McClintock? We say yes, on the same ground that it would be bet- ter for 100 murderers to escape the gallows than that one innocent person should be hanged. Is it any wonder that the American people are getting to be a race of phys- ical degenerates, and that the children of the present day nearly all have their teeth rotted out before they reach the years of maturity? Where is the sturdy and vigorous American man- hood and womanhood of several gener- ations ago? It is being wiped out by various causes, and some eminent med- ical men now believe that vaccinatien is responsible for a large share of it, and vaccination is also beginning to be suspected of causing the alarming in- crease of that dread disease called cancer, which is most prevalent where vaccination has been most indulged in. Let all true Americans arise in their might and stamp out this veritable medical profession out of legislative halls and school boards. Dr. J. E. Rul- lison, a competent physician who has been making vaecination and smallpox a close study, says: “The sacrilege of vaccination is a moral cancer, a satanic contagion, and an unsanitary absurdity. Do not poison your body. Vaccination only adds to the dangers of smallpox, and at the last it biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder. This superstition of killing disease causes more disease. It is a source of revenue to medical boodlers, and tax upon the pockets and health of the community. It is the fraud of frauds. can be easily proven. The danger of vaccination is infinite- ly greater than that of smallpox. Its benefits are based only on ridiculous assumption, It is an unmitigated curse, and the most destructive medi- cal delusion that has ever afflicted the human race. It is the most outrageous insult that can be offered to any pure-minded man or woman. It is the boldest and most impious attempt to mar the works of God that has been attempted for ages. This stupid “blunder of doctorcraft has wrought all the evil that it ought, and it is now time that free thinking Amer- ican citizens should rise in their might and do away with it. The laws that govern the body are better than a consignment of horse- grease poison that builds & putrid sore; cow-pox—syphilized vaccine—glycerin- ated ‘pure calf lymph’ and the dam- nable stuff that now belongs to a self- appointed, powerful, harmful and com- mercialized medical practice. Let this most atrocious and inhuman blasphemy against the human body go 'way back and sit down.” All this A CURE FOR ECZEMA.

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.

Kooser continued indefinitely—until such time as a final hearing can be had—the pre- liminary injunction restraining mem- bers of the United Mine Workers As- sociation from interfearing with the operations or the employees of the Somerset Coal Company. About the same time the officials of the coal com- pany had a number of additional copies of the injunction printed to serve on persons who had not already received a’copy of the Court’s restraining order, says the Somerset Standard. A MOTHER'S RECOMMENDATION.

Our old preceptor, Mr. Frank S. Ver- beck, of Chicago, was our guest for a couple of days during the past week, a visit that we greatly enjoyed. Mr. Verbeck has visited us here several times, and he has many warm friends in this city who are always pleased to see him. To show him the beauties of Somerset county in winter, we drove up to Salisbury on Friday afternoon, and our thanks are due to that prince of good fellows, Mr. R. 8S. Garrett, for his hospitable entertainment while in that place. We also let the light of our countenances illuminate the sanctum of Tee SoMERSET COUNTY STAR, where we found Editor P. L. Livengood wrest- ling with a problem that puts the “How Old Is Ann?’ question in the shade. He vas trying to figure out “How long it is going to take ‘Timmie’ and ‘Bob- bie’ to find out where they are at.” We presume he will give the answer in the next issue of his paper.

THE poor old Somerset Herald hasn't said a word about the wash house needed zt the Poor House for sevaral long months. Poor “Tim” and “Bob” are too busy just now picking flaws with the Republican party, the Court and the County Commissioners, and all because none of the public advertising is being handed out to the old squeak- ing family organ. “The poor tax-pay- er” is the burden of their song, bat give “Tim” and “Bob” a chance at the “pie counter,” and then it will be the tax-payer be d—d, just as it was when the old family organ waxed fatona system of bunco and graft that it took the tax-payers many years to break up. The Scull brothers are only making fools of themselves, while trying to de- ceive the people into putting them back to the public crib. Go to, you blathering, sobbing, slobbering nonen- tities! THE great Baltimore fire, which raged from about 11 o'clock, Sunday morning, until late Monday afternoon, was one of the most destructive fires on record. It is surpassed only by the great Chicago fire, which occured more than 30 years ago, and which caused a loss of about $200,000,000, as well as many human lives. The difference be- tween the Chicago and Baltimore fires lies chiefly in the fact that no lives were snuffed out by the Baltimore fire, and but few, if any people were ren- dered homeless by it. The burned dis- trict of the Monumental city covers about 140 acres of the business district, and the property loss is nearly or quite as great as that caused by the Chicago fire. Many fortunes have been wreck- ed by the fire, many people thrown out of employment, and it is believed that a number of insurance companies will be forced to the wall on account of be- ing unable to pay the heavy losses. Russia and Japan have let loose the dogs of war, and already a great naval battle is reported from Port Arthur, in which the Japanese are reported to have won a sweeping victory, crippling and destroying five or more of the czar’s war vessels, then sailing away practically unharmed. The reports are now fully confirmed, and there is no doubt that the Japanese have sur- prised the Russians and won a signal victory. The capture of several Rus- sian merchant vessels is also reported, and everything points to a long and fierce struggle, in which both powers will know much of victory and defeat, If other nations should become involv-. ed in the war, which is not at all im- probable, it will be the most horrible and destructive war that the world has ever seen. We wish to see Japan win against the great despotism of Russia, but we fear she has too be. a job on hand. NEARLY FORFEITS HIS LIFE.

Scull refused to stand by the regular Republican nominee, after having participated in the primaries. By every word, act and deed, and with the Democratic sinews of war, he entered that notable canvass and came out de- feated. He carried the Republican ticket at the head of his paper’s (Som- erset Herald) editorial column, and at the foot of the same column said: “Never mind that; vote for the other fellow.” In 1902, when all the leaders of both factions of the Republican party were in favor of dropping factional ques- tions, Geo. R. Scull refused to be a party to the harmony plan unless he was declared the dispenser of party spoils as he saw fit. This precipitated a contest, and every man who marched with the Scull forces went down to de- feat, save Weller. Representative Weller is now in favor of harmony and has so stated to party leaders, and the matter is being favorably looked upon by many of the leaders of both factions. George R. Scull and bis brother Bob opposed this and immediately ordered the injunction proceedings. The public notice of the result of that contest means defeat for the followers of the Scull ring in the future for a long time. This fight is being kept up by the Scull brothers in the hope, evidently, of holding their followers to the Herald's subscription list, which is now very much reduced, and that they may pick the balance of the geese in the Scull faction who still fail to see through their selfish motives.—Wind- ber Journal. A PECK OF TROUBLE. Ren Berry Commits a Crime Out of Which Many Legal Complica- tions Arise. On the 12th day of last December, Wm. Abel, of West Salisbury, lost all his household goods by fire. Immedi- ately thereafter Ren Berry. an unprin- cipled scoundrel of this community, started out with a subscription paper to solicit aid for Mr. Abel and family. After soliciting a considerable amount of money, however, Berry appropriated’ the funds to his own use, and with his wife “skipped” across the Maryland’ line, leaving their household goods here: to be shipped to them later. After Berry’s bunco game had be-- come fully known, Mr. Abel attached the goods of the fugitive from justice, and a friend of Berry’s notified the fu- gitive of what had taken place. Berry sent word that if the goods attached by Mr. Abel would satisfy his claim, and that if he (Abel) would withdraw all legal proceedings in the matter, he- might have the goods and call matters: square. Berry and his wife both oversigned' to Abel all the goods he had attached, a list of which was produced, and the agreement was made before and wit- nessed by a Maryland Justice of the peace. Abel then rented house room, took possession of the goods and with- drew all legal proceedings. However, it appears that in moving the goods a few trifling articles not mentioned in the agreement were also taken away from Berry's house, which had not been attached, for the reason that they: were considered practically worthless.. But through their removal much ad- ditional trouble has been the out- growth. Mr. Abel moved the goods into the rooms he had rented, then went to Martinsburg, W, Va., for his wife and children. who were sent to friends at that place soon after the fire. During his absence Mrs. Berry came back from Maryland, went to David Fuller, Esq., and procured a search warrant for the- recovery of goods she claimed were not oversigned to Mr. Abel in their agree- ment. The warrant was served by Constable: Christner, who found the articles: named in the warrant and moved them: away from Abel’s rooms on or about Feb. 4th. When Mr. Abel returned: with his family, he found that all his- goods had been removed, and he at ‘once procured a warrant for the arrest of the constable who removed them. At the hearing the constable swore- that he removed only the goods that ‘his search warrant called for, which: resulted in his acquittal. The constable then arrested Mr. Abel on his search warrant. A hearing was given him before Samuel Lowry, Esq., Feb. 6th, which will be continued on Feb. 13th. Another arrest has also been the result of all this trouble, Mr. Abel having arrested John Seeders, whose house was searched and found to contain the goods Mr. Abel claims were oversigned to him by Mr. and Mrs. Berry. Constable John Walker served the warrant, and the hearing will be before Justice Samuel Lowry. Thus it will be seen that much trouble has been brought about by the rascality of Ren Berry, and some peo- ple are aiding and abetting him that ought to be in better business.

Members of his family drove to Bgs- well Sunday from Somerset, and they say that Mr. Saylor cannot be brought home for some time. Two daughters, Mrs. Murray and Miss Maud, of Mt. Pleasant, are visiting the Somerset folk. A number of Somerset capitalists have a movement on foot to establish a. manufactory here that should prove a benefit to the town, and furnish em- ployment to a number of men. The concern 1s to be known as the Globe Column and Manufacturing Company,. the character and object of which will be dealing in building materials and more especially the manufacture of Colonial columns, for porches, ste. The men back of this project believe they can find a ready sale for all the columns that can be manufactured, the closest competition being Pitts- | burg.
