Roscoe Weltley had been quite ill for several days, but is again able to be about. : 2ichard Jeffery, who has been on the sick list fora long time, is able to be out again. Miss Nancy Livengood, who had been seriously ill, has improved some- what in health, but is still quite poorly. Rey. E. S. Johnston, D. D., spent sev- eral days in Pittsburg, this week, at- tending a conference of the Lutheran church. The Odd Fellows are fitting up a very nice lodge room in the building they recently purchased next to Lich- liter’s store. Men are known by the company they keep, and often they are also judged by the kind of trash they harbor and sympathize with. James W. Beal, who had been work- ing in Pittsburg for the past few years, returned home recently and may again _make old Salisbury his home. Henry Ringler, a well known citizen of Elk Lick township, had a leg broken today by getting too close to a blast in a country coal mine, where he was working. Will Fair, who can see about as far ahead as the most people, says the foundation for the new court house was laid last Saturday, and so it was. It was a good, strong foundation, too. Squire Frank Daugherty and family, of Sand Patch, spent Easter Sunday with Mrs. Daugherty’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Eckerd, of this place. Richard Thomas and family, of Boyn- ton, were also guests of Mr. and Mrs. Eckerd on Easter. As the editor’s health would not per- mit him to take the election returns to Somerset, he delegated that duty to J. T. Jeffery. Before returning home, Mr. Jeffery went to Harrisburg to attend the State Republican convention. He reports a good time. George Patton, eldest son of Joseph Patton, of West Salisbury, was badly injured by a horse, several days ago. The horse reared, and striking out with its hoofs, struck the young man in the face, inflicting an ugly wound near one of his eyes. He was knocked down, tramped upon and severely in- jured. Things are booming in the new Beachy addition to our borough. Al- ready two families are residing under their own rooves there, namely, Bruce Price and family and Wilson Hawn and family. Besides. Ira Price, Gus Price and John Miller have housesin the new nddition that are almost ready fer occupancy, and Jacob D. Miller and Harvey Tedrow are preparing to erect two more. Thus it will be seen that the new addition is building up in spite of the strike. Dr. H. W. DeLozier, who departed this community last winter. returned home last Saturday, just in time to take his share of the good licking the Scull gang got at the primary. He was the last man to vote before the. polls | to withdraw the suit, knowing that has no case whatever, and that they promptly did. Now, the dirty gang that tried to get Brogan to perjure in a vote, are doing all they can to get him he will be expected to help their poor dupe cut of the trouble he is getting into. But we trust that the case will not be withdrawn, for we are very anx- ious to have the matter aired in court. The instigators are all dirty cowards if they withdraw their case, and in the meantime we have had windy Brogan ! arrested and fined $5.00 for disturbing the peace at the election house. And that was only preliminary. By the time we get through with the ignoram- ‘us he will know enough law to be a full-fledged lawyer, but may be in a place where his clients will have a hard time to call on him. The bluffs of cheap skunks and threats of windy fools never frighten THE STAR man. The Bituminous Region Committee of the State Young Men’s Christian Association has set apart May 8th.1904, as “Bituminous Region Young Men's Christian Association Day.” All the pastorsin every town in all the bitumin- ous coal producing counties of Penn- sylvania, will be asked to preach one special sermon to men, either morning or evening, that Sunday. The attend- ance ls not to be confined to men, but to include the regular congrega- tion. An effort will also be made to have pastors and other Christian men in every range a meeting for men at 3:00, 3:30 or 4:00 o’clock in the afernoon, Sunday May 8th, to be known as “The Young Men’s Christian Association Meeting.” Where Associations are now arrange- ments will be in the hands of the Jocal members. Inthe smaller towns par- ticularly, these meetings may be made for both men and women, at the dis- cretion of those in charge. Special ef- fort will be made at the large centers. The Bituminous Region Committee during the past year and a half has or- ganized and placed on a working basis twenty Associations in as many towns, and preliminary work is being done in several other towns. The Young Men’s Christian Association movement in the coal regions of Pennsylvania, is the strongest of any similar department in any of the states. A CURE FOR HEADACHE. Any man, woman or child suffering from headache, biliousness or a dull, drowsy feeling should take one or two of DeWitt’s Little Early Risers night and morning. These famous little pills are famous because they are a tonic as well as a pill. While they cleanse the system they strengthen and rebuild it by their tonic effect upon the liver and bowels.

Lentz, a son of John Lenz, of Brothersvalley township, died in Rockwood, March 30th, where he had been station agent for the B. & O R. R. The Lentz family for many years lived in Elk Lick, where they have many sympathizing friends. ROBBED THE GRAVE. A startling incident i- narrated by John Oliver of Philadelphia, as follows: “I was in an awful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite, growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. Then I was advised to use Electric Bitters; to my great joy, the first bottle made a decided improve- ment. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. 1 know they robbed the grave of another victim.” No one should fail to try them. Only 50 cents, guaranteed, at E. H. Miller’s drug store. 5-1 Murder and Suicide. On Tuesday evening Wm. Saylor shot to death Mrs. Susan Hogamier in what is known as second rock cut, about half a mile east of Meyersdale. Several track repairers saw the crime commit- ted, and they say that Saylor shot and killed himself just as soon as he had killed the woman. Jealousy was evidently the motive. The woman’s maiden name was Susan Beal, and she was a daughter of Simon closed in this borough. Doe is looking exceedingly hearty and tips the beam at 180 pounds. We welcome him back. | for with all his political faults, there is much in old laughing Doc that we ad- mire. He is an exceedingly big-heart- | ed old chump, although a man of rough | exterior. The editor of THE STAR was cemmit- teeman at the Republican imary in this borough, and because he would | not permit Frank Brogan, a flannel | mouthed Democrat to vot was ar- | rested and required to g ond for | his appearance at court, he ! which | Beal, of Summit township. | from | Saylor, who died many years ago. mother is Mrs. Julia Close, and resides | Deceased was aged nearly 22 years.

COMMITTEE. ll MAKES A CLEAN SWEEP. There’s nothing like doing a thing thoroughly. Of all the Salves you ever heard of, Bucklen’s Arnica Salve is the Hasel- best. It sweeps away and cures Burns, Sores, Bruises, Cuts, Boils, Ulcers, Skin Eruptions and Piles. It’s only 25¢, and guaranteed to give satisfaction, by E. H. Miller, Druggist. 5-1 The Mining Situation. The joint scale committee, which convened in Altoona, recently, agreed upon 82 cents per toy as the price for mining coal in the district of which this region is a part. said scale to re- main in force until April 1st, 1805. In the Georges Creek region the operators have cut the price to 60 cents per ton, and, according to late reports. the miners have accepted that rate and are working for two cents a ton less than the district price. If that is the case, the miners of this region certainly can not hope to receive more than the 80-cent rate. Some of our operators, we under- stand, are willing to pay 60 cents per ton, but the Somerset Coal Company gives it out that that company will not pay more than 55 cents, and Supt. Bry- don says under no circumstances will they recognize the union. The Mer- chants Coal Company seems_to be de- termined upon the same course. What the miners will do or ean do is a matter for conjecture, but we trust our operators will relent and at least pay as much as Georges Creek. In fact we think all companies ought to pay the district price, but if Georges Creek operators will not do it, the Elk Lick operators cannot be expected to do so. E. H. MILLER WARRANTS EVERY BOTTLE. If troubled with rheumatism give Chamberlain’s Pain Balm a trial. It will not cost you a cent if it does no good. One application will relieye the pain.

Va., on account of his son Hiram being stricken with ty- phoid fever. He found the young man very sick, but in the hands of a good physician and a good nurse, and late reports say that he isslowly improving. We all hope to hear of his speedy re- covery, for Hiram is a good boy and is well liked by all who know him, He has long been a messenger on trains Nos. 1 and 2, between Morgantown and Pittsburg. The writer is much pained to report the death of George Sherman Scully. who was well known to the people of Addison and Salisbury, where he had many warm and sympathetic friends. He was a son of William O. and Aman- da Ward Scully, of Pittsburg, and died at the family home in that city on March 31st, 1904, aged about 40 years. His father died some years ago, but his mother survives him. The deceased was noted for his gentlemany bearing and his kind and generous nature. May he rest in peace. Jasper Augustine has been very busy for some time, repairing his residence on the Mitchell farm, where he intends ‘to spend the summer months. He sold the Frank Nicklow property, but Mr. Nicklow will move into Mr. Augus- tine’s town property. The Stark girls and Mrs. McCartney, of Farmington, Fayette county, are go- ing to start a millinery and notion store. Marshall Brook has taken unto him- self .a wife, and he did a wise thing by getting the cage before the bird. He has bought A. C. Hartzell’s residence, where he will go to house-keeping as soon as he can get possession, which will be July 1st. Mr. Hartzell will move to Confluence, where he will con- tinue to manufacture stogies. 1 Wm. Barkley has moved into the | Roddy house. Wm. Darr has moved to Thomasville, where he will conduct a boarding | house and livery business. E. Largent and H. S. Dean started to Frostburg, Md., last Sunday, to do some | ' graph line. just across the river from Somerfield, | | H. Miller. repairing on the Western Union tele- | The Flobert Rifle. Now that the gentle spring time is near at hand, it would be well for the parents of small boys to keep in mind the law passed by the last legislature, and approved April 15, 1903. entitled “An act to pruhibit the discharge of flobert rifles, air guns, spring guns, in cities and borveghs of this common- wealth.” The text of the law in full is as follows: Section 1. Be it enacted, ete, That six months after the passage of this act it shall be unlawful for any person to discherge on the streets or alleyx of any city or berough in this common- wealth, a flobert rifle, air gun, spring gun, or any, implement which impels with force a maetal pellet of any kind. Section 2. Any person violating this act shall be arrested, and fined in the sum of five dollars before any com- mitting magistrate; and for the second offense, shall be fined in the sum of fifteen dollars, and may undergo an imprisonment in the county jail for a period of mot less than ten days and ex- ceeding thirty days, the person so of- fending te pay all costs of prosecution. HOW TO WARD OFF AN ATTACK OF RHEUMATISM. “For years when spring time came on and I went into gardening, I was sure to have an attack of rheumatism and every attack was more severe than the preceding one,” says Josie McDon- ald, of Man, Logan county, W. Va, “I tried everything with no relief what- | ever, until I procured a bottle of Cham- berlain’s Pain Balm, and the first ap- plication gave me ease, and before the first bottle was used I felt like a new person. but I always keep a bottle of Cham- berlain’s Pain Balm in the house, and when I feel any symptons of a return. I | soon drive it away with one or two ap- plieations of this liniment.” .For sale by E. H. Miller. Srl ——— FROM THE NORTHERN BORDER. EpiToR oF THE STAR:—The time of year is here again for restless humanity to bestir itself and make a seramble for the great Northwest of America | It is conjectured by all immigrant agents that the rush from the Eastern and Middle states will, by present in- dications, be greater this spring than any previous year, The masses of the people from every source are just beginning to be eon- vinced of the possibilities of these Northwestern states and Western Can- ada. There certainly is a grand future in store for those who want to make future homes for themselves, or en- gage in any legitimate business, for every avocation and station in life stands ready and open, begging for honest, energetic persons to fill them. But the apathetic, lazy, shiftless, in- different and beggarly element need not apply. Men and women of brains and brawn, with the right kind of will power, can readily find a place and can make it win every time. Thou- sands have done so of late years, and thousands more can as long as there is room, opportunity and time. By ear- nestly seeking, every one may readily find what they desire, for the chances are ten to one in the overcrowded sec- tions of the older states in the East and Middle West. Choice homes in good locations can yet be secured cheaply, and the many newly organized counties and incorporated towns and cities, in many instances, go begging for the right kind of men and women to fill the various offices of trust and honor. ’ Properly qualified men and women are in good demand at all times. So, likewise, persons of means, full of business enterprise, are in demand in every growing community. However, many instances could be cited where young persons with small means, in a remarkably short time, have forged right to the front, and now have things pretty much their own way. So, my oarnest advice is to every alert soul, heed the call and beck of the god of opportunity while he so loudly pro- claims in the language of one of our master poets :— “Master of human destines am I, Fame, love and fortune on my footsteps wait. Cities and fields I walk. I penetrate Deserts and seas remote. And passing by Hovel and mart and palace, soon or late I knock unbidden once at every gate. If sleeping wake; if feasting rise before 1 turn away; it is the hour of fate, And those who follew me reach every state Mortals desire and conquer every foe Save death; but those who doubt or hesi- tate, Condemned to failurs, penury and woe, Seek in vain, and uselessly implore; I answer not,and I return no more.” M. P. Licury. Zion, N. D., March 24th, 1904.
