NEWSY [TENS GATHERED HERE AND THERE,
WITH AN OCCASIONAL JOKE ADDED FOR SPICE.
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. Sold by E. H. Miller. 5-1
R:cent Deaths.

caster. Pa. He was a prominent’ min-
ister of the Reformed church and re-
sided in Meyersdale a few years ago.

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 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. It also cures sprains and bruises
in one-third the time required by any
other treatment. Cuts, burns, frost-
bites. quinsy, pains in the side and
chest, glandular and other swellings
are quickly cured by applying it. Every
bottle warranted. Price 25 and 50
cents. E.H. Miller. 5-1
ADDISON NEWS.
Geo. S. Scully Dead—Other Newsy
Items from Our Addison Corre-
spondent.
Last Thursday E. Largent was called
to Morgantown, W. 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

Marshall Brook has taken unto him-
self .a wife, and he did a wise thing by
getting the cage before the bird. He

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.

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

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.
AN AGGRAVATING COUGH CURED

suffering from a severe cough for six
