Barchus was a business visitor in Pittsburg, Tuesday. W. N. Lenhart has broken ground for a residence on Gravel Hill. John Johnston, the printer, visited friends in Stoystown, Saturday and Sunday last. Henry Loechel recently completed a fine new stable. It is nice enough for a dwelling house. N. George Keim, of Elkins, W. Va, arrived in town Wednesday evening, remaining only until today. Virgil R. Saylor has been employed as council for the officers of Elk Lick township for the ensuing year. Levi Lichliter has started to build a barn 26x50 feet, the same to have a slate roof and the best of equipments throughout. Have you ever noticed that in many eases the son or daughter chat is spok- en of as the flower of a family is noth- ing but a blooming idiot? “Whatever are you children doing?” “Oh, we’ve found pa’s false teeth, and we're trying to fit them to the baby, ‘cos he hasn’t got any !”—Punch. Mrs. H. C. Farner has greatly im- proved the appearance of her Union street residence by having a new roof and a lot of fresh paint put on it. Clyde Newman, who was badly hurt some time ago by falling from a horse, is again able to be about. It was at first thought that the lad could not re- cover. A worldly-minded Missouri editor Has won much applause from the gal- leries by-declaring that it is no more harm to catch fish on Sunday than to run down a chicken on that day for a preacher’s dinner. John Rees and family, who sgveral months ago moved to Thacker, W. Va., have left that place and will again be- eome residents of Salisbury. Their goods have arrived, also the family, and our people are all glad to welcome them back. Doc DeLozier, one of the Tub Mill miners, met with an accident recently | while bringing a car from the Farm mine down to Tub Mill. The car got too rapid a start, and when Doc jumped off he cut his hands and head consid- erably where he fell. Stewart Smith has resigned his po- sition as manager of Ehlen Brothers’ store at Casselman, in order to give his time and attention to the West Salis- bury Feed Company, the new firm get- ting ready to do business in our west- ern suburb, and of which he is manag- er. Died, Saturday, May 14th, 1904, Albert Alvin Livengood, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel L. Livengood. Deceased was aged 16 days. The funeral took place at 4 o’clock P. M., Sunday, Rev. J. H. Knepper, of Meyersdale, officiat- | ing. We deeply sympathize with the parents in their bereavement. “Can you tell me what sort of weath- er we may expect next month,” wrote a subscriber to an Indiana county edi- tor. The reply was: “Itis my belief that the weather next month will be very much like your subscription.” The inquirer finally thought ef the word “unsettled” and sent in the re- quired amount. Geo. DeLozier moved his family to | Altoona, last week, where he has se-|* eured employment in his uncle’s store. | 3y their removal this community has | lost a very good family. We wish them | much success in their new home, but | hope they will again return to Salis- | bury, as most people do who move | away from here. lishment will be one of the important businesses launched in Berlin, this year. It will be an incorporated con- cern, and the following named gentle- men are the incorporators: C. W Krissinger, Hiram P. Hay, Alvaro B. Cober, Frank B. Collins and Floyd E. Morrison. Dennis Wagner is the owner of a hen that is becoming famous for the kind of eggs she is laying. The hen is of average size, but the eggs she lays are speckled and usually about 1!5 inches long by 34 of an inch in diameter. Not long ago she laid two eggs in one day, one of which was about the usual size, while the other was about 2% inches long and barely 34 of an inch in diame- ter. Judge Grant Kendall, of Fairmont, W. Va., is an applicant for a judgeship in the Thilippine Islands. Senator Elkins has recommended Judge Ken- dall, and recently accompanied him to the White House for a personal inter- view with the President. Judge Ken- dall was born and reared in Somerset county, and his many friends all hope to see him appointed to the position he seeks. Graham Murray's little story told at the Galloway dinner should be record- ed. A Scottish minister, taking his walk early in the morning, found one of his parishioners recumbent in a ditch. **Where Lae you been the night, Andrew?” asked the minister. “Weel, I dinna richtly ken,” answered the prostrate one, “whether it was a wed- ding or a funeral, but whichever it was, it was a most extra-ordinary success.” —Sporting Times. “Mr. Twospot,” said the young man in a trembling voice, “T have come to ask the hand of your daughter in mar- riage.” “Young man,” replied the elder of the two, “somebody has been stringing you. My consent is not nee- essary in tnis house. If the girl and her mother are agreed, my veto would cut about as much ice as a toy pistol in a fizht between battleships. I simply let you know the state of affairs, so that it you marry into the family you do it with your eyes open.” Senator Dolliver, of Iowa, tells this story on himself: “I reached a certain small town during a campaign,” said he, “and found that the proprietor of the hotel where I usually stopped was in jail. He had gone there of his own accord rather than pay a judgment which he considered unjust. He asked the Sheriff please to let him out for two hours to hear his old friend Dolliver speak. The Sheriff agreed, and sent an order for the release of the prisoner for two hours for that purpose. Then he considerately added at the end of the order: ‘The rest of your punish- ment is remitted.” Superintendent Sterret, of the Mer- chants Coal Company at Boswell, was at Somerset, Thursday, taking part in the settlement of a number of cases hailing: from that community that re- sulted from the riot on January 18th. The Superintendent says the mines are running strong and that the trouble seems to be at an end. It is authori- tatively stated that there is no dispo- sition on the part of the company to pursue the men who have given them trouble in operating their plant, an ob- ject lesson having already been given by the court in sentencing some of the strike leaders to jail.—Somerset Stand- ard. Moms, A memorial service and reunion of the descendants of the pioneer settle- ment near the Jersey church, in Lower Turkeyfoot township, will be held Mon- day, May 30th. That section was in- habited in 1770 by eighteen families who came from New Jersey. The old church there was the first to be built in Somerset county. In the cemetery surrounding it the remains of seven persons who served in the Revolution- ary war are interred. A number of prominent persons have been invited to be present at the reunion; among those who have signified their intention to be there are Judge Francis J. Koos- er, Norman B. Ream of Chicago, and State Secretary of Agriculture N. B. Critchfield.—Somerset Standard. A year ago a manufacturer hired a boy. For months there was nothing noticeable about the boy except that he never took his eyes off the machine he was running. A few weeks ago the manufacturer looked up from his work to see the boy standing beside his desk. “What do you want?” he asked. “Want me pay raised.” “What are you getting?” “Three dollars a week.” “Well, how much do you think vou are worth?” “Four dollars.” “You think so, do you?” “Yessir, an’ I’ve been t’inkin’ so for t’ree weeks, but I’ve been so blamed busy I haven’t had time to speak to you about it.” The boy got the “raise.”—Frank Les- | lie’s. After Wing Chow had studied at Sunday school and become a member of a church, he decorated his remarks with Scriptural phrases, according to Lippincott’s Magazine. He grew dis- satisfied and pleaded for an increase of wages. “You vely lich woman, I vely poor man,” he exclaimed, “money I wish you more give me.” Mrs. Dash rejected the plea, and Wing Chow ap- peared to submit. But on tbe follow- ing morning, when the good woman en- tered her dining room, though the room had been swept, the table laid, and everything left in perfect order, there was no Wing Chow. Beneath a plate the perplexed mistress found a nole, which read as follows: “You vely lich woman, I vely poor man. I aske you more money ; you gives me none. Oh, Lamb of God! I go.” T00 GREAT A RISK. In almost every neighborhood some- one has died from an attack of colic or cholera morbus, often before medicine could be procured cr a physician sum- moned. A reliable remedy for these di~eases should be kept at hand. The risk is too great for anyone to take. Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar- rhosa Remedy has undoubtedly saved the lives of more people and relieved more pain and suffering than any other medicine in use. It can always be de- pended upon. For sale by E. H. Mil- ler. 6-1 More Strike Trouble. Upon the petition of J. C. Brydon, superintendent of the Somerset Coal Company, Judge Francis J. Kooser Saturday granted attachments on Val- entine Gress, John Gress, John Hos- kins, Dillon Murray, Dallas and Frank Albright toshow cause why they should not be held for contempt of court. The complainant says these men were the leaders of a mob of 100 strikers who sur- rounded Elk Lick mine No.1 on Thurs- day night, and brutally assaulted some of the employes of the coal company. Four of the above named parties have been apprehended and lodged in the county jail. The Albright brothers have thus far eluded service.—Somer- s2t Democrat. A FARMER STRAIGHTENED OUT “A man living on a farm near hose came in a short time ago completely doubled up with rheumatism. I hand- ed him a bottle of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm and told him to use it freely and if not satisfied after using it he need not pay a cent for it.” says C. P. Ray- der, of Pattens Mills, N. Y. “A few days later he walked into the store as straight as a string and handed me a dollar saying, ‘give me another bottle of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. I want it in the house all the time, for it cured me.” For sale by E. H. Miller. 6-1 Seventvsseven Snows Since Oct. 17th, 1903.

Cater, of Atlanta, Ga., “and consult- ed a physician who advised me to try a box of DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve, 1 purchased a box and was entirely cur- ed. It is splendid for piles, giving re- lief instantly, and I heartily recom- mend it to all sufferers.” DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve is unequalled for its healing qualities, Eczema and other skin diseases, also sores, cuts, burns and wounds of every kind are quickly cured by it.

Lower Turkeyfoot | Prohibition Nominations. The Prohibition county convention was held at the Rockwood house, Tues- day of last week. Only about fifteen representatives of that faith were pres- ent, and they represented only about six of the voting precincts of the coun- ty. The nomination of a district attorney was left in the bands of a committee consisting of Rev. DD. J. Hershberger, J. E. Ferner and Fred Groff. This for the reason that not one of the thirty Som- erset barristers has identified himself with the anti-license party. The com- mittee will look ’em over, and the lawyer who will declare himself can have the honor of a nomination. Robert M. Walker was elected county chairman, R. P. Collins secretary, and I. D. Walker treasurer of the county committee. These officials reside at Berlin. The delegates to the State conven- tion, which will meet at Uniontown, June 8, are: Isaac Jones, Peter Vogel, C. I. Zimmerman, J. O. Stoner, H. F. Cook, Thomas E. Boord, Philip Berke- bile, Nathaniel Blauch and D. H. Wolf- ersberger. The alternates are: Ira Walker, S. G. Shaffer, R. 8. Patterson, F. B. Granger. James Cable, W. E. Rodgers, R. P. Collins, S. J. Potts, D. E. Phillips and J. A. Ritter. Fred Groff was made the delegate to the national convention, to meet at Indian- apolis, Ind., June 28th. The congressional conferees for Somerset county are Isaac Jones, Peter Vogel and C. F. Zimmerman. The last two gentlemen named are also the nominees for the legislature. James M, Cable, of Berlin, was nominated for poor house director. E. H. MILLER does not hesitate to recommend Kodol Dyspepsia Cure to his friends and customers. Indigestion causes more ill health than anything else. It de- ranges the stomach, and brings on all manner of disease. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure digests what you eat, cures in- digestion, dyspepsia and all stomach disorders. Kodol is not only a per- fect digestant, but a tissue-building tonic as well. Renewed health, per- fect strength and increased vitality follow its Tse. 6-1 A The News from Jennings, Md. May 14th.—Last Thursday evening a camp of American Woodsmen was or- ganized at this place, twenty-eight charter members being initiated. More to follow next week. Mr. Stanley 8. Jennings’ smiling face has been missed from Jennings Bros.’ store for the past two weeks, as he has been on the sick list. Mrs. Stanley Jennings, who has been very sick with the chickenpox, is im- proving slowly. The tennis court is now in fine con- dition, and some interesting games are being played. Jennings Bros. expect to peel a large amount of bark this coming season, and bark peelers are in demand. It is a fact that the town is so booming that there is no difficulty experienced by anyone who is desirous of securing employment. =Mr. T. E. Upole has recovered from a severe attack of appendicitis. .Mr. EQ. Haselbarth and Miss Allie Smith, of Salisbury, visited this town on Ascension Day, and went fishing in company with Miss Gerda Marriott and Miss Sara Jennings. We might add that the amount of fish taken did not overload Mr. Haselbarth’s buggy on his return. Mr. David Mitchell was struck by a flying edging while working in the saw- mill, one day last week, and the missile broke his arm and several ribs. He is doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances. Since the gardening season com- menced Mr. C. M. Tozer is the early bird. The sound of his hoe in the early hours of the morring disturbs the slumbers of those living near his resi- dence. Mr. Herman Behr is the chief agri- culturest and landscape gardener in this vicinity. He is improving the ap- pearance of his grounds very much. Last Friday evening there was a dance in the Bevans hall, given by Messrs. Clarance and Ray Bevans. Mr. May, of Boynton, Penna. is making arrangements to come here and embark in the barbering business. LADIES AND CHILDREN who can not stand the shocking strain of laxative syrups and cathartic pills are especially fond of Little Early Risers. All persons who find it neces- sary to take a liver medicine should try these easy pills, and compare the agreeably pleasant and strengthening effect with the nauseating and weaken- ing conditions following the use of other remedies. Little Early Risers cure billiousness, constipation, sick headache, jaundice, malaria and liver troubles. Sold by E. H. Miller. 6-1 & CLOCK REPAIRING.
