LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS. WENSY TENS GATHERED HERE AND THERE, WITH AN OCCASIONAL JOKE ADDED FOR SPICE. Born, June 14th, 1804, to Mr. and Mrs. Peter Hawn, a daughter. Dr. E. H. Perry spent several days sin Philadelphia, last week. Born, June 13th, 1904, to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Cochrane, a son. Mrs. Stewart Smith and daughter Alice, who had been visiting friends at Pittsburg and Connellsville, returned home yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. James Harding, of Bos- well, arrived in town last Saturday for a few days’ visit with their daughter, Mrs. Mort Wagner. Tom Daugherty is building a snug mew house on Beachy avenue. The Beachy addition is growing quite nice- ly, in spite of the strike which started last October and was lost almost from the beginning. The following named persons consti- tate a party that expect to make a trip to Dan’s Rock, Md., tomorrow: Rev. A. K. Travis and Miss Perry, Mr. Geo. Huston and Miss Cora Keim, and the editor and wife. On Tuesday Mr. Dennis Wagner had a severe spell of heart disease, and for a time his life hung in the balance. We are glad to note, however, that his condition has greatly improved, and he is again able to be about. We acknowledge receipt of a neat folder announcing the marriage of Dr. W. Harry Ryland and Miss Mary Mec- Indoe Schuyler, which event took place at the home of the bride, in Lonacon- ing, Md., Friday, the 10th inst. We see in the Detroit Free Press that five cents’ worth of oilof layender, mixed with the same quantity of water, will keep a room clear from flies, using an atomizer to spray it around the room. People like the odor, but flies do not. : Spring chickens are beginning to get ripe, but they are not going to com- mand the price they sold for last year, and in order to sell at all they must be at least as large as an English sparrow: Lust year they brought a good price when no larger than a potato bug. Miss Vida Miller, of Friedens, Miss Olive Miller, of Stoystown, and Miss Sadie Miller, of Quemahoning. were guests of C. R. Haselbarth and family, Jast week. The young ladies are all students of the State Normal at Cali- formin, Pa., but are now enjoying their vacation. Week before last the 9th Penna. Cav- alry held a reunion at Gettysburg. Mr. R. S. Johng, who saw much hard ser- vice in that regiment, attended the re- union. He reports a good time with his old comrades, and also a pleasant visit with his brother Frank, at Cham- bersburg. Mrs. H. H. Reitz was taken to the Western Maryland Hospital, at Cum- berland, Md., one day last week, where she has since been operated on for the removal of a tumor. Late reports say that the operation was very successful- ly performed, and that the patient is | doing nicely. Any order or lodge that refuses to have its resolutions of respect for its dead published unless the paper pub- lishes them free of cost, has very little respect for the dead brother or regard for the publirher. They must think | the printer has no stomach.—Cumber- | “land (Md.) Courier. i Prof. E. J. Egzn, one of the instrue- tors and students at the College at Union Bridge. Md., arrived here last week to spend his vacation “’mongst the hills o’ Somerset.” Prof. Egan is a | pative of old Elk Lick, and he is a young man deserving much credit for the progress he is making in the edu- | cational world. | Some one has figured out how far a Berlin will celebrate the Fourth of farmer has to walk to attend to 40 {July this year in a manner such as was acres of corn. To plow the ground miles: to harrow it thoroughly, 50 | miles more, and to cultivate it after- ward. 50 mile<, making a total of 750 | miles, in addition to busking it. when he will walk 150 miles more. The Beachy addition is now practic- all the property owners therein peti- tioned for admittance, and the Town Council voted to admit it. A little sur- veying, printing, ete., is all that is re- quired to complete the admission and make the transaction legal. This will speedily be done. The new addition will add considerable to the population and valuation of the borough, and the Council deserves eredit for admitting it. ! The month of May has been an event- ful one for J. M. Springer, of Belle Vernon, who is now 78 years old.and has been justice of the peace at Belle Vernon for 40 years. Justice Springer was born in May, began learning his trade of cabinet maker in May, and as- sumed the office of justice of the peace in May. He has married between 300 and 400 couples, and if he lives out his present term will have served 52 years as justice of the peace.—Connellsville Republican. An upholsterer, speaking of the desir- ability of putting a moth preventative under.the summer coverd over hand- some furniture, and of the unpleasant odor of moth balls and kindred pre- ventatives, said: *‘A perfect protection against moths can be had by placing two or three small packages of cinna- mon sticks, wrappad in tissue paper, down into the opening between the seat and back. The smell of cinnamon is extremely disagreeable to the moths, and they will not stay anywhere near jit Abner McKinley. brother of the late U.S. President Wm. McKinley, died at his summer home in Somerset, Pa. at an early hour on Saturday morning last. He was all alone when death came, and was found sitting in a chair in his bedroom by Mrs. McKinley. De- ceased had been ailing for a long time, but his friends did not expect him to pass away so suddenly. The remains were sent to Canton, Ohio, for burial. Mr. McKinley is survived by his wife and one daughter. The wife is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Endsley, of Somerset, and the daughter is the wife of Dr. H. L. Baer, of the same place. The account of the big snake sighted at the Black farm, near- East Sandy, is reviving local snake historians’ memo- ries, and exceptions are taken to the statement that the largest snake killed in this section was 14 feet long, and was slaughtered in Clarion county. Some 35 years ago, while hunting in the woods between Harmony and Whitestown, Butler county, Robert Lytle, now of this city, and two friends, Messrs. Foster and Hayes, saw a black- snake hanging from the limb of a tree, and all three shot at it and killed it. They took the carcass home, and it measured 16 feet 6 inches.—Oil City Derrick. All doubts were set at rest Sunday afternoon as to the nature of the con- tents of a small: vial .found upon the person of one of the prisoners placed in jail ten days ago on suspicion of hav- ing robbed the postoitice at Boynton. The bottle was placed on top of a six inch locust post in a field east of town, and when “touched off” with a dyna- mite cap exploded with sufficient force to rip the wood into a thousand splint- ers, clearly demonstrating that the brown liquid was nitro glycerine. Se- cret Service operatives are expected at the jail this week to take charge of the men held for the Boynton robbery.— Somerset Herald. “The ‘beauty doctor’ told a good story about her hair restorer,” said a well known Akron business man re- cently, “but I know a better one. With several other men 1 was associated, several years ago, in the manufacture of a restorer. We had a fakir selling the remedy, and this was one of his tales: “A woman came to me the other day for her eighth bottle. She said she liked the taste of it so well. I was frightened, and took her into a private office and told her to show me her tongue. She stuck it out, and there was a half inch of hair on it. To keep from hurting the business, we had to feed her camphor balls all that sum- mer, to keep the moths out of her stom- ach.” It may be set down as a business | proposition of undoubted soundness that it seldom pays to act deadbeat with a newspaper. Many a man who has pulled up stakes and left for foreign parts, owing a newspaper, has found out to his cost he has failed to go far enough to escape the consequences. Many a merchant or public official makes war on a newspaper only to find | that he has paid dearly for his folly. | Nearly every community has conspicu- ous examples of this. A public man is a fool to fight a newspaper, and the private individual who tries to beat a | newspaper needs a guardian. Houesty is the best policy in all business mat- ters, but dealing with newspapers it is even more than this. It is absolutely the best policy.—Palmyra Herald. with a sixteen-inch plow, he walks 2 ally a part of this borough, nas nearly ® never before attempted in this county. The celebration will be a three-days’ event, beginning on the second of July and continuing to the evening of the 4th. On the 2nd it is proposed to start by having sports and amusements of all kinds, followed by a grand fire works display in the evening. On the 3d will be held a union patriotic-re- ligious service in one of the groves near town. This service will be in the hands of the churches, and every min- ister in the county is cordially invited to attend and participate in the exer- cises. Church choirs are. also invited to come and join the choir for that day. The Baltimore & Ohio railroad has promised to put extra coaches on the branch and run the trains at will, meeting every train on the main line and bringing the people to Berlin every hour in the day. This will be good for the three days. Amusements and sports of every description will be on the program. Our genial friend J. L. Durst, of Jen- nings, Md., was one of our visitors, last week. He renewed his subscription to the great paper, as usual, and also gave us an order for some posters to adver- tise a picnic to be held at Jennings on June 22nd. - All who attend the picnic will be sure to have a nice time, for the people up that way know just how to arrange things for a jolly time. A second: picnic will be held at: Jennings on July 4th, for which very elaborate preparations are being made, and it will be easily the greatest 4th of July celebration held within fifty miles of Salisbury, this year. There will be a grand street parade, baseball game, bicycle race, cracker race, foot race, etc., alzo a grand balloon ascension by Prof. Moscow, of New York City. The celebration will be held under the auspices of the Modern Woodmen of America, who recently instituted a very strong camp of that excellent or- der at Jennings. Refreshments of all kinds will be served, and a good time guaranteed to all. The Salisbury Or- chestra will furnish music for the oc- casion. i . FOR A HUNDRED YEARS, For a hundred years or more Witch Hazel has been recognized as a super- jor remedy, but it remained for E. C. DeWitt & Co., of Chicago, to discover how to combine the virtues of Witch Hazel with other antiseptics, in the form of a salve. DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve is the best salve in the world for sores, cuts, burns, bruises and piles. The high standing of this salve has given rise to countexfeits, and the pub- lic is advised to look for the name “De- Witt” on the package, and accept no other. Sold by E. H.

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 failed. At length I was induced to try Electric Bitters and the result was miraculous. 1 improved at once and now I'm completely recovered.” For Liver, Kidney, Stomach and Bowel troubles Electric Bitters is the only medicine.

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 80 bad he expected to die. One day one of his neighbors brought him one small bottle of Chamberlain’s Colie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Romedy as a last hope. A big dose was given him 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 noticed and within an hour the patient was taking his first sound sleep for a fortnight. That one little bottle work- ed a complete cure, and he cannot belp but feel greatful. The season for bowel disorders being at hand suggests this item. For sale by E. H. Miller. 7- Killing His First Man. The killing of a brother-man, even in battle, is a painful thing to remember. A soldier of the late war thus vividly describes his first experience: “My first man I saw but twenty sec- onds, but I shall remember him for- ever. I was standing by my gun when a Confederate infantry soldier rushed up. “I whipped out my revolver and took him through the breast. He toss- ed up his arms, gave me the strangest look in the world, and fell torward up- on his face. He had blue eyes, brown curling hair, a dark mustache, and a handsome face. “I thought the instant I fired that I should have loved that man if IT had known him. I tell you this war is terrible business.”—Youths’ Companion. THAR THROBBING HEADACHE Would quickly leave you, if you used Dr. King’s New Life Pills.
