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 |

agreement. By this time next week
we will be able to give our readers the
full details in the matter—Meyersdal

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

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.

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.

Grounds. The position carries with it
a salary of $1,500 per year and the du-
ties include, in addition to assisting
Mr. Shumaker, those off superintend-

of the time. The appointment
made by the Governor, the Auditor-
General, and the State Treasurer, but
was at the suggestion of Mr. Shumaker.
Mr. Keim succeeds Charles Duffy, of
Harrisburg, and will probably take hold
next week.

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.

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.

rhoea Remedy. E. H. Miller will re-

BRUTALLY TORTURED.
A case came to light that for persist-
ent and unmerciful torture has per-
paps never been equaled. Joe Golobick
of Colusa, Calif, writes: “For 15 years
I endured insufferable pain from Rheu-
matism and nothing relieved me, though
I tried everything known. JT came
across Electric Bitters and it’s the
greatest medicine on earth for that
trouble. A few bottles of it completely
relieved and cured me.” Just as good
for Liver and Kidney troubles and
general debility. Only 50c. Satisfac-
tion guaranteed by E. H. Miller, Drug-
gist. 8-1
If I Should Die.
If I should die to-night,
And you should come to my cold corpse
and say,
Weeping and heartsick, o’er my lifeless
clay—
If I should die to-night,
And you should come in deepest grief
and woe,
And say, “Here is that ten dollars that
I owe,”
I might arise in my large, white cra-
vat,
And say, “What's that?”
If I should die to-night,
And you should come to my cold corpse
and kneel,
Clasping the bier to show the grief you
feel,
I say, if I should die to-night,
And you should come to me, and there
and ther
Just even hint ’bout paying me that
ten,
I might arise the while,
But I'd drop dead agsin.

NIGHT WAS HER TERROR.
“I would cough nearly all night
long,” writes Mrs. Chas. Applegate, of
Alexandria, Ind,, “and could hardly get
any sleep. I had consumption so bad
that if I walked a block I would eough
frightfully and spit blood, but, when all
other medicines failed, three $1.00 bot-
tles of Dr. King’s New Discovery wholly
cured me and I gained 58 pounds.” It’s
absolutely guaranteed to cure Coughs,
Colds, La Grippe, Bronchitis and all
