Up to yesterday no agreement had been reached in the joint conference at Indianapolis. Matters are quiet in this region, and the striking miners continue to deport themselves in a very exemplary manner. Public sen- timent has been in their favor from the start, and we earnestly hope to see them gain the victory. JupGING from appearances, the Ber- lin Gleaner last week started in to an- nihilate the Berlin Rocord. However, we are glad to note that the people of Berlin are not disposed to turn the Record down. It would be too much like forsaking a good, faithful old work horse for a treacherous, worthless, wandering Maryland jackass that can do nothing but bray and abuse his su- periors. The Berlin Record has been and is still worth more to Berlin than the Gleaner will be worth to the town in a thousand years. —————— Because the Democrats elected as many officers in Elk Lick township as the Republicans did at the last elec- tion, old Lucifer Ananias Smith speaks of it as the work of the unconquerable Stalwarts. Well, haven’t we told you all along that the word Stalwart means Scullwart in this county, and that Scullwartism means voting the Dem- ocratic ticket about half of the time? Stalwart Republicanism never votes the Democratic ticket, but stalwart Scullwartism votes any old thing, be- cause it can’t rule the Republican party. Bat ehat’s the “diff?” The G. O. P. rules the roost just the same, and a few Democratic borough and town- ship officers cut no ice,anyway. Every traitorous act of the Scull faction only serves to add a few more nails to its political coffin. THE old pol-parrot that presides over the Meyersdale Commercial shed a whole slop-bucketful of joyful tears, last week, because most of the Repub- lican ticket in Salisbury borough was defeated. The poor old thing says it was a swat at “Pete.” The fact is, however, that there was not one candi- date on the Republican ticket that was induced or asked to become a eandi- date by “Pete.” The slate that was put up on the Republican ticket was the work of a crowd that we had no part in, and while we voted for the slated candidates of the Republican party, with but one exception, we told the promoters of it that they had nom- inated a losing ticket, and that it would surely be defeated, owing to the fact that the promoters made a class affair out of it. People up here who know what’s what, see no defeat for THE STAR, as “Pete” took no part in the campaign whatever, except to hold the Republican caucus and to cast his vote, and the Republican ticket was not of his choosing, although we have nothing but the best of good will for every man that was on the ticket. Any man with a grudge who thinks he got a swat at “Pete” by voting against the Republi- can ticket, is a very dull chump to say the least, and he is welcome to all the consolation he can get out of that de- lusion. Tre malicious attack that the Lona- coning (Md.) Star is making on John A. Berkey, of Somerset, does not evince a high order of journalistic probity, and is, to say the least, far-fetched and extraneous. Just what Brother Robin- son’s purpose is in pushing the filthy political warfare he has been so long engaged in in his whilom rebel com- monwealth into a neighboring state is not clear, unless the motive power be- bind it is Pennsylvania money supplied by Mr. Berkey’s enemies. The Gazette believes that the Star would acquit it- self as a decent newspaper by confin- ing its acrimonious personalities to the enormous number of politicians in its own region who are graduates in the schools of demagogy, treason and an- tebellum snobbery, rather than to come over on our side and fire at men whom it has pleased us to give political pref- erence. The majority of the people of this county have several times in- dorsed Mr. Berkey in unmistakable terms, and the Lonaconing Star is not sufficiently powerful to detract one iota from his popularity and political strength at home, but rather all loyal Somersetters will resent its interfer- ence with our afairs,and all fair-mind- ed people at home will wonder if the Joker has not struck pay dirt outside his own realm of filth and blackmail.

ELK LICK POSTOFFICE, PA., THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 1904. THE Lonaconing Star and Review, which papers are both published by J. J. Robinson, a man who never seems to be happy unless he is slandering some one who has never done him a wrong, gives it out that “it is said” that the editor of this paper left Carleton, Neb., between two days. If Editor Robinson will kindly tell who said it, he will show himself to be a fair man, and at the same time he will be furnishing information that will bring some ma- licious, cowardly liar or liars to justice. Our traducers can easily be proven the dirty, malicious liars that they are, and if anyone wants to know just how we left Carleton, he or she can easily find out. We can name such well known former citizens of Somerset county, Pa., as Ross Lichty, Frank P. Beachy, Eli Miller, J. R. Lichty, 8. 8. Flickinger- and many others who used to reside in this county, but who now reside at Carleton, Neb. All of the gentlemen named are known to be men above re- proach, and if anyone wants to know whether we sneaked away from Carle- ton, or whether we published a notice announcing our intended removal, which took place after having a public sale, and not until 30 days after our published announcement, they can find out all about it by addressing any of the gentlemen mentioned, or W. R. Hall, the Carleton postmaster, by en- closing a 2-cent stamp for reply. We left that town in broad daylight, about 9 o’clock a. m., Oct. 3d, 1901, and a large number of friends went to the depot to bid the editor and his family goodbye. We left without owing a cent in the town, and as we have lived over 40 years without getting into the clutches of the law or into jail, it is not likely that we ever had to or ever will have to leave any community between two days. Did the editor of the Lona- coning Star ever serve a term in jail? Was he ever mixed up in any financial troubles of a secret society? We will let the Lonaconing Star man and the jail records of Allegany county, Md., answer these questions, and whenever our record won’t show up as clean as his, we will probably have to go to jail ourself. COLDS CAUSE PNEUMONIA. One of the most remarkable cases of a cold, deep-seated on the lungs, caus- ing pneumonia, is that of Mrs. Gertrude E. Fenner, Marion, Ind.,, who was en- tirely cured by the use of One Minute Cough Cure. She says: “The cough- ing and straining so weakened me that Iran down in weight from 148 to 92 pounds. I tried a number of remedies to no avail until I used One Minute Cough Cure. Four bottles of this won- derful remedy cured me entirely of the cough, strengthened my lungs and re- stored me to my normal weight, health and strength.” Sold by E. H. Miller. 4-1 THAT LONACONING GERM. The Lonaconing Star, published at Lonaconing, Md., which for several weeks has been heaping vituperation upon J. A. Berkey, Esq., of Somerset, simply because that gentleman aspires to political honors and has the support of the Republican voters of Somerset county in his candidacy for Congress, much against the wishes of the coal corporations, continued in the same strain in its last issue. It then at- tempts to impress its readers with the idea that the Windber Journal’s cam- paign to organize the miners was a “blackmailing scheme,” and that “some one suggested to the Berwind-White Company that the Windber Journal could be bought.” The editor of the Windber Journal denies the imputation that anything else than a desire to improve the con- ditions of a large army of oppressed miners prompted him to inaugurate and continue the crusade for organiza- tion. If Editor Robinson will divulge the name of the “some one” whom he alleges suggested that this publication could be bought, except in single copies or for a stated period of “subscription, we assure the Maryland writer that we will compel the “some one” to pro- duce his authority for such a state- ment. The Windber Journal’s plant and the utterances of its editor and publishers are not for sale. If that is the custom with the editor of the Lona- coning Star, we consider ourselves fortunate in having no acquaintance with him. Editor Robinson makes further imputations of the same char- acter that are unworthy of notice. The coal corporatious are advocating a hopeless cause, from all appearances. In their anxiety to defeat Mr. Berkey for Congress and in an attempt to rid- icule editors who are not purchasable | quantities, they are compelled to one of the best and purest tonics for blood-strengthening to be found. One | of the best thin ] tives, the aged anc | handle their stuff. ‘in Maryland has manifested a medium outside Somerset A paper {Sold by E. H NO.7. interest, and the editor of it—one JX. Robinson—is compelling the genersll public to arrive at the conclusion that he is but the pliant tool of the coal op erators of the distriet.—Windber Jour nal. j WELL AGAIN. The many friends of John Blount will be pleased to learn that he has ea- tirely recovered from his attack of rheumatism. Chamberlain’s Pain Balm cured him after the best doctors in the town (Monon, Ind.) had failed to give relief. The prompt relief from paim which this liniment affords is aloae worth many times its cost. For sale by E. H. Miller. 4-1 The Berlin Jackass Brayeth. Under the gallant leadership -of Peter L. Livengood, editor of Tue Eix Lick Star, the Republican party ia that borough was triumphantly led te a galling defeat. Oh, my! Tue Star is an influential sheet. Ha, ha!—Berlis Gleaner. There is no paper in Somerset county named Elk Lick Star, and neither ie there an Elk Lick borough. Furthee- more, Peter L. Livengood was leading no political party on last election day or any other day. He never posed ss the leader of the Republican party im any borough, and at the last election he took no part, except to cast his indi- vidual vote. It was a Republican yote, we are proud to say, but the Republi- cans were nearly all defeated in this borough, just as most of the Prohibi- tionists were in Berlin. Here it was the Republican party against all other parties, end in Berlin it was the Pro- hibition party against all other parties. Such a result as we had at the last election in this borough has often hap- pened here, and often before THE Star was born, or before its editor was old enough to vote. But we can excuse the grinning nonentity of the Berlia Gleaner. for he doesn’t seem to have a full “set of buttons.” COLDS ARE DANGEROUS. How often you hear it remarked- “It’s only a cold,” and a few days later learn that the man is on his back with pneumonia. This is of such common occurrence that a cold, however slight, should not be disregarded. Chamber lain’s Cough Remedy counteracts any tendency toward pneumonia. It always cures and is pleasant to take. Sold hy E. H. Miller. 4-1 The Feller on the Fence. I like a man of courage an’ eonvietions good and strong, Though his judgment may be hasty and his theories be wrong; A man who'll come out boldly an’de- fend with main an’ might A thing in controversy if he thinks the thing is right. I like t’ measure swords with one who'li parry,guard, an’ thrust, Defendin’ what he thinks is fair ag® fightin’ what's unjust. He may hold views t’ which my mind most stubbornly dissents, But I’m bound t’ like him better tham the feller “on the fence.” The wishy-washy feller who when pol- itics or art Are subjects of discussion never cares t’ take a part; The man who when he’s talkin’ with his dearest, bosom friend Will state not his opinions lest the statements may offend, Offends me more by silence an’ by sit- tin’ calm, inert, Than he would by fightin’ back a big, my views t’ controvert. An’ it doesn’t stand t’ reason that a man with common sense Could feel much admiration for the feéi- ler “on the fence.” The man’s a moral coward who the topmost rail will choose To perch on, wholly speechless, whes you charge on him with views. A long-horned Texas bovine might there drive me to a seat— But I'll ne’er from controversy with & palsied tongue retreat! An’ so a man of courage an’ conviction good and strong I'd choose, although his judgment an® his theories be wrong. His views be those t’ whish my mind most stubbornly dissents— I’m bound t’ like him better than the feller “on the fence.” —Roy Farrell Greene, in Puck. IT SAVED HIS LEG. P. A.
