LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS. NEWSY [TEMS GATHERED HERE AND THERE, WITH AN OCCASIONAL JOKE ADDED FOR SPICE. John Meager went to New York on business, this week. Mrs. M. Dively, formerly a resident of this place, visited friends here dur- ing the past week. The fellows that wouldn’t march he- hind the band on Decoration Day didn’t spite anybody. Mrs. Jennie Giffin, of Conemaugh, Pa., visited friends in Salisbury several days during the past week. Rev. 8. M. Baumgardner and daugh- ter Lulu, of Gibbons Glade, Pa., visited friends in Salisbury over Sunday. Ellet Smith, of Pittsburg, arrived in town last Saturday evening and visited friends over Sunday and Monday. George C. Hay, who bas long been following civil engineering in the vicin- ity of McKeesport. spent Sunday and Decoration Day at his old home in *Salisbury. Milton Livengood, who went away some weeks ago, has returned home. He was working in Scottdale, Pa., most of the time, but also spent some time in Pittsburg and Ohio. Mr. F. J. Anspach, of Philadelphia, arrived in town on’ Tuesday evening. ‘He informs us that his wife and daugh- ter are both recovering from severe seiges of typhoid fever. George Yoder, who had been attend- ing school at Prince William Academy, at Brentsville, Va., returned home several days ago, the school having closed for the summer. A wise man who has evidently stud- ied the subject, carefully says, “Whisky won't make a man drunk unless the whisky is itself drunk.” Of course, the whisky would have to come in some- where.—Ex. : Mrs. Jane Cross, who moved from here to Uniontown, a ccuple of years ago, spent a few days here visiting friends during the past week. She was accompanied by a new husband, but we have not learned his name. “One of Henry Loechel’s fine blooded cows gave birth to a calf, several days ago, that weighed only about 18 or 20 pounds. The infant bovine was per- fectly formed and is growing nicely. Jacob Glotfelty purchased the dwarf for 50 cents. Levi Lichliter, J. P., accompanied by his daughter Edith, started for St. Louis, yesterday, to see the World's Fair. They will visit friends in other parts of the west before returning. . Miss Edith expects to remain in Illi- nois all summer. ; A soiled wall paper may be cleaned ' by merely rubbing it well with a flan- nel cloth dipped in oatmeal. This is a useful thing to remember when funds do not permit the repapering of a room quite as soon as it seems desirable, says an exchange. John M. Wright recently purchased from the Merchants Ceal Company, for “Mont” Snyder, the Luke Hay farm. The same company since scold the Harvey Keim farm to H. C. Shaw, and Mr. Shaw recently sold a portion of the Anspach or Sullivan farm to Elijah Livengood. Doc DeLozier says he made applica- tion to the United Mine Workers to be put on the relief, agreeing to quit work at the mines if the order would take care of him. He was turned down, of eourse, and Doc says a man is given no show, even if he does undergo 4 change of heart. And then he laughed. At the first day of their General Con- | ference in Carthage, Mo., last week, the German Baptists of the United States decided that they wished to be known by that name alone, and not to recognize the name of Dunkards, by | aged about 60 years. which they were formerly called, and which is still applied to them by mauy. Mrs Wm. Hay died at her residence in Meyersdale, Monday morning last, She is survived by her husband and two sons, Attorney A. Hay, of Somerset. ahd Nevin Hay, of Meyersdale. The funeral took place yesterday. Mrs. Hay died very suddenly and unexpectedly of erysipe- las and paralysis. Jerome Newman, a well known farm- er residing about 2 miles egst of Salis- bury, died yesterday afternoon, after a long and painful illness. He sur- vived by a wife and several sons and daughters. He aged about 58 years, and was highly esteemed in the community where he lived. We have learned nothing of the funeral arrange- ments. L. Gs 15 was E. Largent,n Western Union Tele- graph lineman, was in town this week fitting up a telegraph office, which will be in charge of Mr. Pitzer, a nephew of J. R. Joy. This town has been without telegraph service since the Baumgard- ner family moved away. which was quite an inconvenience to the town. We are all glad to see the service re- stored. John M. Martin, a well known Salis- bury young man, went to Rockwood a couple of weeks ago, where he accepted the position of Yard Master with the B. & O. railroad. John is an excellent young man, and he will fill the posi- tion with credit to himself and satisfac- tion to the company. The position had formerly been held by Sargeant Ezra L. Milliron, who resigned some time ago. Patrick E. Finzel, general manager of the I'iney Run Oil and Gas company, of Garrett county, has purchased at the public sale of Samuel Brown, a grandfather’s clock which has been in possession of the Brown family for 164 years. It is in wellpreserved con- dition, keeping time as faithfully as when first bought by the Brown family over a century and a half ago—Cum- berland (Md.) News. Elijah Livengood met with a very painful accident, several daysago. He operates a sawmill about five miles up the Jennings railroad, and rides to and from his work on a small car that is propelled by hand and foot power. He got one of his feet caught between two cog wheels; which lacerated and tore the flesh in a frightful manner, but we are glad to note tha the wound is not serious, although very painful. A valuable steer while being driven to the slaughter shop of Butcher C. T. Berkeybile, at Hooversville, Thursday of last week, broke away from two small boys who were driving it and plunged into the Hooversville dam. The animals head was tied down to its foreleg to prevent its running away, and, being thus unable to swim, was drowned before it could be gotten out. It was valued at 245. —Somerset Demo- crat. An exchange says: An interesting game of cards was played in a box car on the C. & E.I. tracks between a couple of boys, late Tuesday afternoon. One of the boys had just turned up a diamond and was waiting for the other boy to lead, when the old man appear- ed at the door of the car, ordered the other boy up, turned up hiz.own boy, discarded some of his apparel and swung a ciub. The old man played it alone, and made every point, although the other boy cut. Albert Petry and the editor followed the example of good old Grover Cleve- land, and went fishing on Decoration Day. We fished in Cove and Glade runs. in the Peck settlement, but did not catch a fish. This i= a true fish story, and it is our opinion that trout are few and far between in the afore- said streams. However, the trip was worth taking, for we enjoyed the out- ing and had a pleasant visit with Rev. L. A. Peck and family, to whom we are indebted for kind hospitality. Our friend Israiel Schrock, of Mey- ersdale, is in town today shaking hands with his many Salisbury friends. This is about his first visit to our town since he want to California from here, over a year ago. Some of the local busy-bod- ies had been saying that Schrock was afraid to return to Salisbury, just be- cause he didn’t like it in California. This, however, is not the case, for he left here honorably and owed no man a cent. He has lots of friends here that are always glad to meet and converse with him. Judge Collins, who served on the bench of Somerset county many years ago, is now a boarder at the Joy house, in this borough. He was the first man to introduce lime for agricultural pur- poses in Elk Lick township, and he burned the first lime ever burned in this part of the country. He was a resident of Elk Lick township at the time, and now, while in his 84th year, he again appears amid the scenes of his younger days, where he is deeply interested in the many changes that have taken place. Two boys disappeared from their | homes in Renova, Pa, on Sunday, May 15th. Their names are Murtie Moriar- ity and Leo Dwyre. Murtie was aged 15 y8ars, haa light hair, blue eyes and | is rather delicate-looking ; well dressed | in mixed gray suit, knee panis, wore | about the same age, but stout; wore brown suit, good clothes, knee pants and gray cap. Any information will be thankfully received by their parents or by the chief of police of Renova. Pa- pers are requested to copy. According to a Southern medical journal, this is an accurate definition of a “blush:” “A blush is a temporary crythema and calorific. effulgence of the physiognomy, eatiologized by one perceptiveness of the sensorium when in a predicament of unequilibrity from a sense of shame, anger or other cause, eventuating in a paresis of the vasom- otor filaments of the facial capillaries, whereby, being divested of their elas- ticity, they are suffused with a radiance emanating from an intimidated prae- cordia” It makes one blush to read it. The change in the cost of postage is illustrated in a list found in the back of an old clock bearing the year 1825. The rates given are as follows: For 30 miles and under, 6 cents; not exceed- ing 80 miles, 10 cents; not exceeding 150 miles, 12!5 cents; not exceeding 400 miles, 18 cents; over 400 miles, 25 cents. To Front Royal a letter from Lexington, Ky., at that time cost 25 cents postage and took two weeks to make the trip. Xrom this it will be geen that the sending of letters in that day was something of an expensive luxury. —Ex. For more than a year Thomas H. Hartley, of Morrisdale Mines, has been ‘experiencing peculiar trouble with his stomach, and frequently the evidences were very clear to him that he was car- rying about in his stomach a living ob- ject. He had consulted physicians, who thought he must surely be mis- taken, as it would be difficult for any- thing io live very long in the stomach. A few days ago he began to fast, and placing himself in the hands of Dr. H. A. Collins, of Morrisdale, for treatment, The efforts of the latter, Thursday, re- sulted in the removal of a lizard fully four inches in length. —Clearfield Pub- lic Spirit. An Iowa newspaper, in speaking of a revival meeting that was held in a rural neighborhood near by, says: “We rejoice that the grace of God Las warmed over so many hearts grown cold over at Galt, and we trust that, as almost every other known means to collect our delinquent subscriptions out that way has proved futile, the di- vine grace will prove sufficient to cause these erstwhile sinners to come in, pay us up and save us from an al- most certain trip to the poorhouse and themselves a trip to hell. Poor editor! How little recked he that the convert- ed sinner seldom realizes that delin- quent subscription accounts are obli- gations that must be paid before the beautiful gates will stand ajar to him! Verily, it is true that you can’t go to heaven and owe the printer at the same time. —Ex. CHAMBERLATN'S COLIC, CHOLERA AND DIARRHOEA REMEDY is everywhere recognized as the one remedy that can always be depended upon and that is pleasant to take.

HIS LAST HOPE REALIZED. From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont. In the first opening of Oklahoma to settlers in 1889, the editor of this pa- per was among the many seekers after fortune who made the big race one fine day in April. During his traveling about and afterwards his camping up- on his claim, he encountered much bad water, which, together with the severe heat, gave him a very severe diarrhoea which it seemed almost impossible to check, and along in June the case be- came so bad he expected to’'die. One day one of his neighbors brought him one small bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Romedy as a last hope. while he was rolling about on the ground in great agony, and in a few minutes the dose was repeated. The good effect of the medicine was soon was taking his first sound sleep for a fortnight. That one little bottle work- ed a complete cure, and he cannot help but feel greatful.

No special preparations were made for the observance of Decoration Day in Salisbury, this year, but the day was nevertheless fittingly observed by a great many of our people. As no so- ciety, organization or committee had the affairs of the day in charge, there was no regular program to be carried out. However, our cornet band march- ed to the cemeteries, followed by a number of old soldiers, and children, carried boguets and garlands of flowers, which were rever- enily laid upon the graves of the dead defenders and preservers of ‘our glo- rious country. Appropriate music was rendered by the band, and Revs. J. F, Perry and A. K. Travis made addresses at the cem- eteries that were very appropriate for the occasion and highly creditable to the speakers. The saloons were closed during the day, for which our hotel men deserve great credit, for if there is one day above all others that should be solemn- ly and soberly observed, that day is Decoration Day. It is a fact greatly to be deplored that Decoration Day is too often made a day of public sports, carousal and general debauchery. It is all wrong, and improper observance of the day should not be tolerated anywhere. citizens who Never in the history of Salisbury was the day more fittingly observed than this year, and the crowd that went to the cemeteries was very large, notwith- standing the fact that nospecial efforts were made to get the people there. The band boys deserve great praise for their music, for it must be remem- bered that most of them are only be- ginners, while even their excellent leader, Mr. “Bert” Statler, has been a band man only a few years, “Bert” shows all evidences of having a high order of musical talent, and as a mu- sician of only a few years’ experience, it is doubtful whether the county has ever produced his superior. He is destined to become famous as a mu- sician, if he sticks to it, and he will also make fine musicians of the young men under his able instruction. Our citizens are both pleased and surprised at the progress our young band is making, and some of them have shown their appreciation in a substantial way. We hope to see the boys out frequently during the pleasant summer evenings, and they can rest assured that their music, will always be appreciated by a large number of our best. citizens. WORST OF ALL EXPERIENCES. Can anything be worse than to feel that every minute will be your last? Such was the experience of Mrs. S. H. Newson, Decatur, Ala. “For three years” she writes, “I endured insuffer- able pain from indigestion, stomach and bowel trouble. Death seemed inevit- able when doctors and all remedies At length I was induced to try Electric Bitters and the result was miraculous. I improved at once and now I'm completely recovered.” For Liver, Kidney, Stomach and Bowel troubles Electric Bitters is the only medicine. Only 50c. It’s guaranteed by E. H.
