Blaiszell, of the Stan- dard Wood Company, New York, who is to superintend the building of the factory, was on the ground last week. He is anxious to secure a number of carpenters to work on the erection of this mill, and also on a number ef houses which the company will build for the men to be employed in the fac- tory. The Babcock Lumber Company will furnish the raw material to be used in the plant. It will be put up in small bundles, and will then be shipped to the point of consumption, mostly New York, Philadelphia and the eastern markets.—Somerset Herald. ay A STRONG HEART is assured by perfect digestion.

The latest industry to get under pro- cess of construction for Blissful Berlin is a factory for the manufacture of ap- ple-butter, jellies and preserves, and the refining of our maple products. Messrs. Jacob and Albert Swartzen- druber are the promoters and proprie- tors of the enterprise. They are now erecting a building adjoining the Al- bert Swartzendruber flouring mill for the factory, and will install the neces- sary machinery as soon as the building boiler will furnish the steam for the es- tablishment. The cider making busi- ness will be operated in connection with this plant, and besides supplying the general trade, Messrs.

Howard Sutherland, the hustling real estate agent of Elkins, W. Va, has sold for the Davis Land Company, to Jennings Bros., who operate at Lo- pez, Pa., and Jennings, this county, a tract of fine timber land on Laurel Fork of Cheat River, at the mouth of Beaver Dam Rum, comprising 1,300 acres. Jennings Brothers already own a large boundary of timber land on Laurel Fork, whieh they expect to operate within a short time.

DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve is the best salve in the world for sores, cuts, burns, bruises and piles.

The one hundred and fiftieth anni- versary, or sesqui-centennial of the battle of Fort Necessity—whieh was General Washington’s first battle, and has been aptly designated as the foun- tain head of American independence,— will be duly observed at the scene of the battle on the National Pike, ten miles east of Uniontown, in Wharton township, Fayette county, on Monday, July 4th, at 12 o'clock m. A general invitation is extended to all who re- side in the counties of Allegheny, Fay- ette, Somerset, Westmoreland, Wash- ington and Green counties, this state, and Preston and Monongalia counties, W.

The Beachy addition is growing right along, and there isn’t a prettier part of the town in which to live. Geo. Schramm has purchased the grocery and pool room formerly owned by D. 1. Hay. He took charge of it several days ago, when D. I. took charge of the hotel. We wish both gentlemen success. Miss Della Brown, who had been at- tending the Chicago Musical College, has returned home for the summer va- cation. She will return to the college next September. Miss Della is getting to be a very fine pianist. Ernest Livengood, who went west about a month ago, returned home on Saturday evening last. He visited the 8t. Louis Fair, but spent most of the time looking after his business inter- ests in Kansas. Ile reports a good time Albert Robinson has finished his eourse at the Soldiers’ Orphan School at Scotland, Pa., and is now clerking jor W. D. Thompson & Co., of this piace. Albert is a very bright boy and left the school with high honors. We predict for him a ‘successful life. There are two classes of people, says she Eafaula Times, that will always re- main Poor—those who hug the eagle so elose that he can’t go out and bring re- turns, and those who turn him loose and laugh at him as he flies away never to return. To which class do you be- long? The Somerset Herald has changed from a nine-column folio to a six-col- amn quarto. The Herald is now as latge a paper as THE Star, but we re- gret that the “old lady” is not as solid- ly Republican.

His bid was about $100 un- der John Wright's, $200 under Frank Petry’s,and about $3,000 under the fig- ures of a Somerset firm. When com- pleted, the new Salisbury school build- ing will easily outelass any other school house in Somerset county. CUTS, BRUISES AND BURNS QUICKLY HEALED.

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.

He will keep the bald heads busy, as well as the busy housewife. He has bis good points, though, the principal of which is that he is a scavenger. He keeps down the death rate. A summer without the fly would mean an unpar- alled death crop. Therefore, if you cannor be kindly, tolerate him as kindly as you can.—Oakland Journal. We cannot agree with the Journal upon the good points of the fly. It is not reasonable to suppose that flies keep down the death rate. On the contrary, it is more reasonable to sup- pose that flies carry sickness and death into thousands of households every summer. The same flies that are now swarming about dead and putrid car- casses, decaying garbage and filth of all kinds, may be crawling over the very victuals we ‘eat a few minutes later, thus spreading disease germs, sickness and death. It is reasonable to suppose that the housefly is one of the most annoying and dangerous pests that the human family has to contend with. There is no telling how long men might live if we could rid the earth of flies and other disease-spread- ing insects. The fly has no good points whatever. He is a nuisance and an enemy to mankind in general, and a terror and an aggravation to bald deposited | heads in particular.

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. 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 help but feel greatful. The season for bowel disorders being at hand suggests this item. For sale by E. H. Miller. 7-1 Tariff Hand Book. Inasmuch as it is settled that the Tariff is to be the predominant issue in the Presidential campaign of 1904, the Tariff Hand Book, just issued by the American Protective Tariff League, be- comes of special value. An equal amount of matter relating to the Tariff in its various phases has never been incorporated between the covers of any single volume. There is no question that the Free-Trader can possibly raise which is not answered in this handy pook of ninety-six pages. Every fact bearing upon the Tariff and its relation to national and individual prosperity is herein to be found. Statistics cover- ing almost every field of industrial, commercial and business activity are here presented in well ordered form, all of them authentic, official and in- disputable. As an aid to writers and speakers in the current campaign, as well as to students desirous of inform- ing themselves regarding economic facts and conclusions, the Tariff Hand Book will be found indispensable.
