She still keeps a gettin’ thar with both feet. Miss Carrie Johnston went to Al- toona, Saturday last, to spend a couple of weeks visiting friends in that city. The picnic at Jennings, Md. on the 4th, was a great success. Many Salis: bury people were in attendance, and they all report a good time. Rev. G. E. Letchworth, of Meyers- dele, requests us to announce that there will be preaching in the Salis- bury church of the Evangelical Asso- ciation, Saturday evening, July 9th. at eight o'clock. We spent our 4th in Somerset, where we enjoyed a good time with our many good friends in that town. Our printer, J. O. Johnston, spent the 4th with Friedens friends, and also reports a very pleasant time. The hay-makers are having an easy time of it this year. Owing to the fre- quent showers they can spend more than half of their time in “the barn listening to the musical patter of the raindrops on the roof. Several petty fights occurred in this town and vicinity during the week, but no oue was hurt much, owing to the fact that “John Barleycorn” had the whole push pretty well licked before they thought of fighting. Some fiend in human form recently poisened one of uncle John Livengood’s valuable ’coon dogs. I: is needless to say that uncle John waxed exceeding wroth when he found it out, for as a - lover of dogs and children he stands first in that class. There was a pleasant porch party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Levi Lich- liter, on Gay street, yesterday evening. Miss Jeunie Montgomery, of Meyers: dale, is a guest of the Lichliter family, and a number of young folks called and spent a very pleasant evening with the family and their guest. Schramm Bros. have sold their hack business to C. W. Stotler, who will take charge of it next Monday. The Schramms have purchased the pool, billiard, grocery and restaurant busi- ness of D: I. Hay, taking charge of it a week or more ago. They are good hackmen and conducted the business with profit. We wish them success in - their new business, and we also wish Myr. Stotler guteess in his new venture. On Tuesday Sheriff Coleman levied two attachments on the contents of the store at Keystone mines that had been issued in favor of Howard Miller and ‘William Martz, for feed furnished the ‘Continental Coal Company. Consta- ble Swindell levied upon the goods also on an execution that had been se- cured by the Potomac Bottling ‘Works, for a bill due them. The officers closed the store and left Mr. Burnham in charge.—Meyersdale Republican. A correspondent writing to the Johns- town Tribune, says: “Who has heard of a four-legged spring chicken? E. J. Blough, our enterprising. poultryman, has among his fowls the latest wrinkle in chickendom. Thi liar freak of : in chickendom is peculiar freak o his head. nature has four well-developed legs, but evidently Mr. Chick only tries to use two of them.” Mr. Blough is not “the only pebble on the beach.” Our own Sam Smith is, or was, the posses- sor of two such freaks.—Bolivar News. At this time the prospects of Mey- | ersdale securing a steel plate mill are | very flattering. The committee ap- pointed to sell stock report good prog- | ress, and that all the . money needed | has practically been provided for. The | ] AE agreement. By this time next week we will be able to give our readers the full details in the matter—Meyersdal publican. Alexander Sutherland, the man who led the charge of the famoas “Light brigade” at Balaklava, is living in the city of Denver, Col. He is ninety-four years of age, but has expressed a de- sire to attend the St. Louis fair, in re- sponse to an invitation reeeived from the school children of that city. As the bugler of the brigade, Mr. Suther- land led the charge at the eommand of the Enrl of Cardigan, an@ was one of the 150 heroes who returned from the field of carnage. In North Missouri recently the mer- chants of a small town began kicking because the editor carried the “ads” of several city stores in his paper.. Al- thongh the merchants did little adver- tising themselves, they called the ed- itor a traitor to his town. In reply the editor said: “You have goods for sale; I have advertising space for sale. You sell to whoever you want ; so shall I. If you want my goods come and get them. If you don’t want them, don’t complain because I sell them else- where.” Was he right or wrong? Our friend Walter 8. Easton, who went to the wilds of West Virginia in company with his brother James, last March, came home to spend the 4th with his family. The folks at home were delighted to see him after an ab- sence of over three months,and he was just as glad to see them. “Scottie” is still in the employ of the Rand Drill Company, of New York, and has the overseeing of a large number of core drills that the company has at work in West Virginia. He is assisted by his brother, and both command lucrative salaries. He will return to his work next week. Edward Mills, assistant postmaster at Pine Ridge, Bedford county, has been arrested upon a charge of tam- pering with the mails. He is alleged to have confessed to the crime, waived a hearing, and he is now under $1,000 bail to anawer in the Federal Court at Pittsburg. The complaint was made by the postoftice inspectors upon infor- mation furnished by John P. 8nyder, of Pine Ridge. Deputy Marshal William M. Henry made the arrest. Mills is ac- cused of acquiring a handsome plot of ground from the Government by open- ing a letter of Snyder's that was ad- dressed to the Government. Snyder claimed a plot of ground that appeared to have no owner. After opening the letter and reading the claim, Mills is charged with also making a claim and securing the acreage. NO PITY SHOWN. “For years fate was after me contin- uously” writes F. A. Gulledge, Ver- bena, Ala. “I had a terrible case of Piles causing 24 tumors. When all failed Bucklen’s Arnica Salve cured me. Equally good for Burns and all aches nnd pains. Only 25¢ at E. H. Miller’s Drug Store. 8-1 eel. Suit for $25,000 for Death of Son. Mr. and Mrs. Peter Gumbert, of Pine Hill, have brought suit in trespass against the Somerset Coal Company, claiming the sum of $25,000 for the death of their son Peter, who was kill- ed in the mines of that company, at Pine Hill, about a year ago. The plain- tiffs haye not filed their statement, but it is said to contain allegations that the Somerset Coal Company was at the time of the accident, operating the mine without a superintendent or a mine foreman, permitting the work to be done by inexperienced miners. It is alleged that after the coal was mined out the surface was left without suffi- cient support, and as a result a falb of slate and rock crushed out the life of Peter Gumbert.—Berlin Record. et rm JACOB BEEGHLEY COULD NOT DIE. Old Man Cut his Throat, Stabbed Himself and Tried to Batter Brains Out. Jacob Beeghley, aged 75, residing near Terra Alta, W. Va., made a des- perate attempt to end his life. He wards covered with blood and almest starved. In explaining his conduct he said life seemed a burden and he thought he would kill himself. Beeghley tried to cut his throat with an old knife, only succeeding in making an ugly gash. Next he tried to sever an artery in his arm. He then at- tempted to drive the blade into his heart. The wound bled freely. He next tried to drive the blade in his skull with a stone. Failing in this, as a last resort, he attempted to knock out his brains with a huge stone, which he brought down many times on Failing in all, he decided to live, emerged-from his hiding place and ask for assistance. Many stitches were re- quired for his wounds.—Oakland Re- publican. WORKING NIGHT AND DAY. The busiest and mightiest little thing that ever was made is Dr. King’s New Life Pills.

VERY REMARKABLE CURE OF DIARRHOEA. “About six years ago for the first time in my life I had a sudden and se- vere attack of diarrhoea,” says Mrs. Alice Miller, of Morgan, Texas “I got temporary relief, but it came back again and again, and for six long years I have suffered more misery and agony than I can tell. It was worse than death. My husband spent hundreds of dollars for physicians’ prescriptions and treatment without avail. Finally we moved to Bosque county, our present home, and one day I happened to see an advertisement of Chamberlain’s Colic, €holera and Diarrhoea. Remedy with a testimonial of a man who had been cured by it. The case was so sim- ilar to my own that I concluded to try the remedy. The result was wonder- ful. I could hardly realize that I was | well again, or believe it could be so after having suffered so long, but that one bottle of medicine; costing but a was few cents, cured me.” For sale by E. H. Miller. 8-1 Finest Pleasure Resort in Somerset County. While at Somerset, a few days ago, we had the pleasure of thoroughly in- specting J. A. Berkey’s beautiful Edge- wood Grove, which consists of nearly 50 acres of beautiful maples, pines, oaks and many other kinds of trees. The grove lies adjacent to Somerset borough, and the Somerset & Cambria railroad passes within three rods of the entrance. After July 16th all passen- ger trains will stop at the grove during the picnic season, which will extend well into the autumn months. Edgewood Grove is easily the finest pleasure resort in Somerset county, and by the time Mr. Berkey has all his improvements completed, it will be a resort that rhe entire county may well feel proud of. At the present time he has a large force of men at work erect- ing buildings and beautifying the grounds. Buildings as follows will soon be completed: An auditorium 50x100 feet ; a dancing pavilion 40x80 feet; a restaurant 44x44 feet, containing kitch- en, dining hall, ete., and surrounded by a 12-foot porch. A checking booth will also be erected, and lavatories equip- ped with the very finest grade of plumbing are now nearly completed. Mr. Berkey has put in a fine water plant, and has, therefore, water spigots all over the ground where needed. There is also a fine spring in the grove, convenient to the buildings, and all the walks and drive ways will be prop- erly cindered and graveled. In fact nothing will be lacking when complet- ed that would add to the beauty and convenience of the grove. A hitching corner has been provided for 300 teams, and all through the grove will be found comfortable seats and benches. Six thousand people can be sheltered in case of rain, and 2,000 per- sons can be seated. : The grove will be open to the public after July 16th, and it will truly be a pleasure spot for men and women, a play ground for children, a place for picnics and reunions, and a place of recreation for everybody. Dogs and drunken persons will not be permitted on the grounds, and the grove will be open daily from 8.30 8. m. to 7.30 p.m. Mr. Berkey deserves much credit for fitting up such a fine resort, which is a fine thing not only for the town of Somerset, but for the whole county.
