Another Version of the Bolters’ Doom, by the Same 0ld Coon. Ta-ra-ra-ra doom, Bob S., Tim and you have made a mess, There’s due to you another guess, Ta-ra-ra-ra doom, Bob S. Your court house saucer failed to win, Although backed up by Johnstown “tin”?— Your little scheme was much too thin, And that is why you're liked like sin. | Ta-ra-ra-ra doom, old Lou, How the people laugh at you! | In your old pate there’s loose a screw, | Ta-ra-ra-ra doom, old Lou. Your nasty howl on grab and graft Shows that you have gone clean daft, In fact your head is very “saft,” | And down goes your old leaky craft. Ta-ra-ra-ra doom de-aye, { The old Scull gang has had its day, The Berkey crowd made all the hay, Ta-ra-ra-ra doom de-aye. { The Berkey crowd is in the clover, The old Scull gang is licked all over, And that’s the way it ought to be, As honest men will all agree. Ta-ra-ra-ra doom, Scull organ, You can’t defeat old Benny Morgan— You can’t defeat one in our gang, Ta-ra-ra-ra doom, de-bang. The organ and the organette, They are in an awful sweat, And still keep squeaking out of tune Like sheep dogs baying at the moon. Ta-ra-ra-ra doom, Scull ring, You're up against the real, real thing, You're doomed, you’re doomed, your doomed to stay, Ta-ra-ra-ra doom de-aye. [Dear brethren, before singing the last two stanzas, observe that the word “boom” instead of “doom” is used, then take a fresh chaw of tobacker and pro- ceed.] Ta-ra-ra-ra BOOM, J. A,, A valliant leader everv day, You're just all right, the people say, Ta-ra-ra-ra boom, J. A. A prudent leader, just and true, You always know just what to do— That’s why the voters stick to you, And soak it to the old Scull crew. CHORUS: Ta-ra-ra-ra boom de-aye, The people they have had their say, The old Scull gang has had its day, Ta-ra-ra-ra*hoom de-aye. THE BEST FAMILY SALVE. DeWitt’s Witch Hazel gives instant relief from Burns, cures Cuts, Bruises, Sores, Eczema, Tetter and all abrasions of the skin. In buying Witch Hazel Salve it is only necessary to see that you get the genuine DeWitt’s and a cure is certain. There are many cheap counterfeits on the market, all of which are worthless, and quite a few are dangerous, while DeWitt’s Witch Ha- zel Salve is perfectly harmless and cures. Sold by E. H.

Ex-Associate Judge Dickey should be admitted to the Somerset bar at once. Dear Timothy Titmouse, can you tell us what the Dickey birds are singing now? “Dice” Hay ought to be fined for con- verting “whipporwills” into gutter- snipes. Lucifer Smith’s pretended friendship for the miners didn’t cut a very wide swathe. Jailbirds can’t cut much polities. poor Weller and couldn’t defeat a “It was a fa- in Allegany county, Md., ice in Pennsylvania Stop ealling “Billy” Cochrane * Whip- per.” His name has been changed to “Whipped.” The “Little Giant” managed the cam- paign for the victorious hosts. Don’t forget that. After the votes were counted out in this borough, last Saturday evening, the Scullwarts were conspicuous for their absence. Purple-faced Shine and windy, noisy Roy caused a loss of at least a dozen Scull votes by turning themselves loose to work for the Scull slate. Yes, the people gave to Rufus Meyers what they refused to General Grant—a third term. But then General Grant wasn’t striving against nothing, and Meyers was. For some reason that little Scull “whipporwill” that was billed to chirp in the Committeeman’s chair after the votes in this borough were counted, failed to warble. Prof. F. B. Shaffer admits that the Scull organization is without a com- petent head. Well, that is usually the case with a mongrel and motley crew of bolters and fusionists. ° Soldier “Billy” Lichty, our popular oyster and ice cream dealer, says he’s glad to know that the Scull bolters are buried good and deep. That’s the sen- timent of all true Republicans. Squire Sam Lowry says old Colonel Ed Scull was a great politician and a model party leader, but he declares his degenerated sons to be utter nonenti- tiesin that line. The Squire is right. Judging from the returns in the dis- tricts where the Meyersdale Commer- cial has its best circulation, the people wait to see what Lucifer wants, and then, very properly, do the other thing. The Sculls can never win. Let them try till the sun grows cold, the stars grow old and the leaves of the Judg- ment book unfold, for it will do them no good. They are dead mackerel, and oh how they stink! Chris Lichliter made a few votes for the anti-Scull side by shooting off his bazoo in favor of the other gang. Christie should have profited by the defeat Lester Boucher got through be- Ing backed by him. With a few yards of court plaster, some splints and a dose of spirits of turpentine properly applied to liven him up at the right time, we believe poor old Harvey M. could be patched up and entered in the race once more. Lucifer, how do the returns from old Salisbury strike you? Do you think anybody was trying to swat Pete, this time? But we guess you're kept busy enough weeping over the returns of your own borough, so yon needn’t an- swer our questions unless you want to. The so-called Stalwarts who joined issues with the Democrats to defeat the Republican ticket at the last elec- tion in this borough, made a nice block of anti-Scull votes for the last primary. True Stalwart Republicans always get even with the bogus, bolting kind when the proper time comes. That was a smooth dodge Lester Boucher tried to work on Geo. Huston to keep him from the polls by telling him his vote was challenged, and de- claring falsely that he would have to swear to a whole lot of stuff in. order to obtain a vote. Lester knew he wasn’t telling the truth, but then George knew if, too, and hence wasn’t faked. Lester Boucher, who was the only Scull worker in this borough that could accomphsh anything last Saturday, says, since it is all over, that he was working for a cheap gang that hasn’t got sense enough to be in polities. Dr. DelLozier expresses himself about the same way. As Lou Smith would say, probably Lester and Doc have recently seen a great light. As soon as the general result in the county was known, the Hon. Shine Shotgun Fogle promptly changed his roost from Hay’s hotel office and bar to Clayt Statler’s haymow. The horses seemed to think there was something dead in the hay, and refused to eat, but Shine crawled out and returned to his old roost just in time to prevent an equine strike at the livery stable. His brother, who tends the bar, was de- lighted to have Shine return, for he is such a handsome and appreciated or- nament to have about the place. Now that the Scullions got the good licking they deserved, they set up the howl that they were defeated by booze and boodle. But they don’t say a word about the bonded warehouse that Abra- ham Lincoln Lowry, chief henchmen for the Scull gang in Elk Lick, had in West Salisbury to corrupt votes with. The said Abraham Lincoln had enough Scull booze on tap to stock a saloon, and we know just where he kept it, what it cost, how much he had and who was his bar-keeper. But the =aid Abraham Lincoln looks as innocent as though he had been in no dirty busi- ness whatever, and the next time his church has communion you will see him walk up to the altar. looking as sanctimonious as a sick monkey. GOOD FOR CHILDREN. The pleasant to take and harmless One Minute Cough Cure gives immedi- ate relief in all cases of Cough, Croup and LaGrippe because it does not pass immediately into the stomach. but takes effect right at the seat of the trouble. It draws out the inflamma- tion, heals and soothes and cures per- manently by epabling the lungs to contribute pure life-giving and life- sustaining exygen to the blood and tis- sues. One Minute Cough Cure is pleasant to take and it is gook alike for young and old. Sold by E. H. Mil- ler. : 5-1 Tue Scull faction in Somerset county thought the burden of the new court house would crush their opponents at the primaries, but the court house seems to have fallen on the Scull party and crushed them. It’s a poor wood- chopper that lets the tree fall upon himself.—Connellsville Courier. THE contest at the Republican pri- maries in Somerset county has result- ed in a decided victory for the Berkey faction, and, with the probable inter- ruption caused by a few mandamuses and injunctions, Somerset will get its new court house. The interjection of the New County issue into the cam- paign by a Johnstown newspaper was exceedingly unfortunate for the inter- ests of this city, and that newspaper and the political ring which dominates it, in this respect, have attained the very object it strove for—the deep. implacable, and powerful opposition of the now securely dominant faction of the Republican party in Somerset.— Johnstown Tribune. [Last Saturday’s Repubiiean primary is now a matter of history. The whole anti-Seull or straight Republican slate went through with a whoop, and once more the bolters or self-styled Stal- warts have been given a crushing de- feat. The successful candidates have been nominated by majorities ranging from 891 to 1538, and the Scull slate won out in only a few of the 49 voting precincts. The Scullions waged a vig- orous campaign on false issues, making use of all the trickery, deception, boodle and booze that they could mus- ter, but they had no case to go before the people with. hence defeat was cer- tain for them from the start. Now they threaten to take matters to the Dauphin county court. but whether they do or not, it will be the last una- vailing baby play they will make in a lost cause. With this issue we are sending out a supplement containing the tabulated vote of the various pre- cincts, and the candidates nominated will all be triumphantly elected next November, no matter what the Scull gang may do. —————— Tie nomination of John P. Elkin in stead of Governor Pennypacker as Re- publican candidate for Justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, is a most happy surprise to the rank and file, as well as to the leaders of the Re- publican party. The indications wcre strongly that Senator Quay had Gover- nor Pennypacker slated for the Su- preme Court bench, and we believe he had; but public sentiment was so strongly against such an arrangement as to make it almost certain that Mr. Quay feared defeat for Pennypacker if nominated. The springing of Elkin’s candidacy at the proper time was a most happy surprise, and his nomina- tion is well received, At the same time Mr. Quay is given credit for sacri- ficing his personal choice for the sake of party harmony. Elkin will be elect- ed by an overwhelming majority, and Pennypacker, who is a sorry misfit in the Gubernatorial chair, will remain in that office until his term expires, when he will sink into the glcomy oblivion he so richly deserves for his tyrannical stand against free speech and a free press. A GREAT SENS: ATION. There was a big sensation in Lees- ville, Ind., when W. H. Brown of that place, who was expected to die, had his life saved by Dr. King’s New Dis- covery for Consumption. He writes: “I endured insufferable agonies from Asthma, but your New Discovery gave me immediate relief and soon thereaf- ter effected a complete cure.” Similar cures of Consumption, Pneumonia, Bronchitis and Grip are numerous. It’s the peerless remedy for all throat and lung troubles. Price 50c, and $1.00. Guaranteed by E. H. Miller, Druggist. Trial bottles free. WAR NEWS.

Sheridan was addressing a great au- dience in Cleveland, a man yelled out to him, “What is the matter with the Democratic party anyhow?” Sheridan dropped the line of argument he was pursuing, turned toward the man and replied as follows: “What is the mat- ter with the Democratic party? I will tell you, my friend. The Democratie party was born under planets that were in opposition. It lives in the ob- jective case. Like a mule, it has no pride of ancestry,fno hope of posterity. It never originates anything. It al- ways shines by borrowed light. De- mocracy has never been joined in hon- est wedlock to a principle, but lived for years in open adultery with a harlot called slavery, lived with her till she died of corruption and was buried amid the sobs and groans of her para- mour. “The atmosphere that surrounds De- mocracy is full of noxious vapors that breed moral pestilence and death. The sun never shines through it, vice seeks its shadow, and corruption grows lusty under its unholy influence. Springs of purity are never found in Democracy. Its waters are torpid, lifeless, covered with the filth and scum with which stagnant pools and waveless waters always offend the eyes of men. The soil which Demoec- racy has cultivated has failed to yield harvests of value to the nation, but has given crops of worthless weeds and briers. “Democracy has no love of country, believes in states instead of nation, drives loyalty from its doors and wel- comes treason to its habitation, holds the deeds of our soldiers and sailors as naught, strives to blacken the names of our heroes, weeps over the lost cause, hates the blue and loves the gray, stabs loyalty in the back, binds up the wounds of treason and speaks words of hope and comfort to its devotees, ap- plauds when helpless blacks are strick- en down in the south and caresses the hands red with their innocent blood, denies the right of American citizens to make homes for themselves in the south, justifies the man who shoots them down or drives them out. “Democracy is a curse to the land, the source of our bitterest woes, the haven where vice finds friends and crime its apologists and defenders. Democracy is original sin let loose ta rend and destroy, is the spirit of evil filling the swine of the land, the incar- nation of unholiness, the child of the devil. Its home should be in that out- er darkness where there are weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. Such, faintly pictured, my friend, is what is the matter with the Democratic party.” Sheridan picked up the thread of his speech at the point where he had been interrupted. He was asked no more questions during the evening. —_——————— A THOUGHTFUL MAN. M. M. Austin, of Winchester, Ind., knew what to do in the hour of need. His wife had such an unusual case of stomach and liver trouble, physicians could not belp her. He thought of and tried Dr. King’s New Life Pills and she got relief at once and was finally cured.
