lin, says the Somerset Herald. Yes,
and it also seems that a citizens’ ticket
was voted at Somerset, and ahother in
Somerset township, but both of them
fell far short of being elected, much to
the chagrin and sorrow of the Somerset
Herald. About all the contents of the
Herald, this week, can be justly classed
as whine and bellyache, and there’s no
more Barker’s Liniment in sight. Poor
old thing!
Our old friend Lucifer Ananias
Smith, of the Meyersdale Scull Organ-
ette, stated last week that he had a late
report of a recount of votes in Somer-
set borough, and that the recount
showed that the whole Citizens’ ticket
was elected, with but one exception.
Lucifer’s late report must have come
from hades, the place he is destined
for, as his master, Timmie Scull, ac-
knowledges that the whole Republican
ticket was elected in Somerset borough,
with but one exception. The old Pe-
runa-embalmed carcass that presides
over the Commercial ie never taken
seriously, for the poor old thing has
long been in its dotage.
THE old threadbare pair of pants that
presides over the columns of the Mey-
ersdale Commercial, refers to the late
Republican ticket of Salisbury borough
as a fake Republican ticket. Thus all
the candidates on it are classed as
fakirs. It's really too bad that Chas.
May, W. B. Stevanus, W. 8. Easton,
Robert Cochrane, R. 8. Johns, Asa B.
Newman, Morgan Williams, Austin
Brown and James B. Martin are all
fakirs, having been so classed by the
decree of an old mongrel like Lou
Smith, at the solicitation of his Somer-
set boss. But as Lucifer has been in
about all parties under the sun, as well |
as in other people’s pockets, much to
their sorrow, it is no wonder he con-
siders it a crime to run on a straight
Republican ticket. Anything straight
is distasteful to the old dehorned ibex.
Accorping to the Windber Journal,
the Eureka Supply Company, which is
only another name for the Berwind-
White Coal Company, has served no-
tice on Windber boarding-house keep-
erg who board miners in the employ of
said company, that unless they buy
their provisions at the company store,
the company will discharge the men
boarding with persons who buy else-
where. That's about the worst tyr-
anny we have ever heard of, and we
note that the other Windber merchants
have formed an association to protect
themselves against brow-beating meth-
ods of the Eureka Supply Company.
When coal companies sink so low in
the moral scale as to resort to the
methods in vogue in Windber, almost
any means to rid the community of
company stores .would be justifiable.
We have company stores in Salisbury,
too, but thank fortune they are not of
the Windber stripe.
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

“A Sensible Suggestion.
Every citizen of Somerset county
ought to know how every other citi-
zen’s property is assessed. The as-
sessing of property is a public affair,
not a private one, and it should be the
privilege of the public to know all
about it. Sometimes mistakes creep
into the valuation of private property,
and sometimes abuses are practiced
where the abuses are made a private
snap. No matter where secrecy is
maintained, there all the evils known
to assessing are likely to be found The
only remedy for this is publicity ; if the
assessed valuation of all property were
printed in the newspapers or in pamph-
let form so that all citizens might know
the valuation of all property, there
would be fewer mistakes and no abuses.
With the lists thus printed and ecireu-
lated every citizen would become a
committee of one for the correction of
errors and abuses.—Somerset Demo-
crat.

Hanna, which occurred at Washington,
Monday, is a loss to this nation. Han-
na will go down in history as one of
the great men of the Twentieth cen-
tury.”
“Whatever may be said of the politi-
cal methods of Senator Hanna, and
however much he may have been ecriti-
cised for his stalwart partisanship,
there can be no question as to his com-
manding abilities, his tireless enter-
prise and his genuine Americanism.”
What a contrast between the things
Democratic papers are saying of Sena-
tor Hanna since he is dead and the
things they said of him when he was
yet living! Tt has always been a cus-
tom of the Democratic press to vilify,
lie about and abuse all the great men
in the Republican party while they
live, but laud them to the skies after
their death. Another strange thing
about the Democracy is this: When-
ever they want an ideal, they usually
hunt among dead Republican states-
men to find one. For example, a few
years ago they were comparing the
Windbag Bryan to the great and im-
mortal Lincoln. The comparison was
indeed a bad misfit, but is shows how
greatly Democrats admire Lincoln, who
was more abused by Democrats while
he lived than any other man in Amer-
ica.
BETTER THAN GOLD. J
“I was troubled for several years
with chronie 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
What a Board of Trade Could do
for Salisbury.
Tue Star has often urged the im-
portance of & board of trade for this
town, but it seems our business men
are all to well satisfied to reach out for
new industries, and so long as they are
content to move in the old ruts. just
that long will they be playing a losing
game. Gentlemen, why not put your
shoulders to the wheel of progress and
do something? What has secured for
Berlin her shoe factory? Her board of
trade; and the same body is quietly
doing many other things for the town.
As a result of the good work of the
Berlin board of trade, no town in the
county is improving faster than Berlin.
The following bit of news from The
Shoe and Leather Reporter contains
much that ought to make Salisbury
business men think, act and hustle:
“The shoe manufacturing business of
Frederick C. Young, of Rochester, will
be removed shortly to Somerset, Pa.,
where it will be recognized and incor-
porated as the Somerset Shoe Manu-
facturing Company. The capital stock
of the new company is $50,000. Mr.
Young retains a large interest in the
concern, and will personally conduct
the business for a time, at least. W.
V. Marshall, President of the Board of
Trade of Berlin, Pa., visited Rochester
last week, and, after an inspection of
the plant and several conferences with
Mr. Young, the deal for removal was
consummated. Mr. Marshall recently
displayed enterprise by bringing a
Philadelphia shoe factory to Berlin,
which is a village of 1,000 inhabitants.
Somerset, a few miles away from Ber-
lin, has 2,000 population. A number of
Rochester shoemakers will go with the
concern to Somerset. A factory build-
ing, with a capacity of 1,000 pairs of
women’s shoes a day, will be built at
once, so there will be little interrup-
tion in the business. Samples will be
made for fall. The present staff of
salesmen will be retained as far as
possible. Women’s welts, turns. and
McKays will be the product of the
Somerset factory. Mr. Young has
been manufacturing shoes in Rochester
for over twenty years, and is Vice
President of the Rochester Shoe Man-
ufacturers’ Association.”
RELIEF IN ONE MINTTE.
One Minute Cough Cure giyes re-
lief in one minute, because it kills the
microbe which tickles the mucous
membrane, causing the cough, and at
the same time clears the phlegm, draws
out the inflammation and heals and
soothes the affected parts. One Minute
Cough Cure strengthens the lungs,
wards off pneumonia and is a harmless
and never failing cure in all curable
of Coughs, Colds and Croup.

Here are two historical facts:
Napoleon met his Waterloo on the
18th day of June, 1815. The Scull
bolters met their Somerset on the 16th
day of February, 1904.
If the Republicans of this county
needed any further evidence of the
complete rout and rebuke of the Bazoo
crowd they have it in the result of the
election held on Tuesday in the bor-
ough and township of Somerset, the
hot-bed of wild-cat politics, in which |.
the bolting spirit that was sent out to
different parts of the county has been
nursed aud kept alive.
The Bazoo crowd has been in the
bolting business for several years, and
during that time they have clothed
themselves with a career they cannot
shake off. If there is any form of bolt-
ing that they have not tried, or any
scheme to defeat the nominees of the
party at whose pie counter they fed for
80 many years that they have not in-
dulged in, it is evorthy of mention.
In their bolting career their strongest
following has always been in Somerset
borough and Somerset township. It
was here that they made their special
drives, and whatever success they at-
tained was blown over the county
through the Bazoo as an evidence of
their strength, and thus their deluded
following in different parts of the
county has been held.
When the Bolters went into court re-
cently in an effort to prevent the regu.
lar Republicans from holding their
primary elections in the various bor-
oughs and townships of the county,
they met with another defeat in their |’
series, and feeling that they then
needed some public approval of their
course they turned to Somerset bor-
ough and Somerset township for it.
But to make their success doubly sure,
as they thought, they formed a combi-
nation with the Rupple faction of the
Democratic party, and a coalition with
a part of the Prohibition party. Out of
this combination grew what they
pleased to call the Citizens’ ticket,
with which the bolters went to the
people for the greatly desired endorse-
ment. But although the regular Re-
publican ticket was up against the
field, as combined by the bolters, it
came out of the contest in both borough
and township with a vietory so sweep-
ing that the Bolters’ Bazoo was not
able to catch its breath, though it held
back to blow the hoped-for “endorse-
ment.”
As a result the regular Republican
organization stands clothed with the
substantial endorsement and approval
of the people, while the Bazoo crowd
may simply score for itself another de-
feat, and go a hunting for some un-
heard-of thing with which to combine.

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

ADVERTISING PAYS.
In 1889 P. T. Barnum, the great show-
man, journeyed to the Pacific coast, to
visit a relative. On his way back east
he stopped at Kansas City to see the
great Barnum & Bailey show that was
then exhibiting in that city. The then
press agent of the Barnum & Bailey
show, Bert Davis, introduced to Mr.
Barnum the editors of the local papers
at the former’s hotel. In the course of
the conversation which naturally fol-
lowed, Mr. Barnum said: “Gentlemen,
Mr. Bailey tells me that my presence
at the performances of the Barnum &
Bailey circus is worth $5,000 a day to
the show. If this is true, it ismy name
that is so valuable. It is known in
every town, city and hamlet; it has be-
come a household word throughout the
