Henry Kidner fell from a cherry tree, Monday morning, bruising and stoving himself considerably, but for- tunately escaped serious injury. Supt. Stirrat, of the Merchants Coal Company, who is located at Boswell, was the guest of Supt. R. 8. Garrett, of this place, a few hours last week. Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Hooe, of San Francisco, Cal., who visited friends in and about Salisbury for a week or more, started homeward on Tuesday * morning. Mrs. H. MeCulloh returned from Ad- dison, last Thursday, where she had been visiting at her old home. She is now being visited by her sister Ruth, who came with her from Addison. Adam Sipple, the aged father of Mrs. B. F. Krausse, injured himself very badly, last week, by falling backward off a porch. Mr. Sipple is in his 96th year, and it is believed that his injuries will prove fatal. A Missouri woman sued her husband for divorce on the ground of desertion, alleging he would not argue with her. There are times when a deserter is really a hero. Some of them are get- ting pensions how.—Ex. Our old friend Wm. A. Kann, of Garrett, was a business visitor in town this week. He reports business im- proving in Garrett, and says the mines there are again shipping considerable eoal, increasing their output right along.

Easton and family and the edi- tor and family spent last Sunday at the artesian well nesr Meadow Run. Fried chicken and all manner of good things were disposed of with a keen relish, and the “kids” had great sport wading the creek and splashing water over each other. On Tuesday night several thirsty mortals stole several cases of beer from J. R. Fair, the popular West Sal- isbury hotel man. The persons impli- eated are all known, and at the hour of going to press it looks as though the thieves will be compelled to face the court to answer serious charges. Last Thursday night a large number of young persons participated in a so- | cial party at the home of Mr. and Mrs M. A. Wagner. honor of Miss Mima Harding, a sister The gathering was in of Mrs Wagner’s, Miss Harding re- turned to her home at Boswell, several | days ago, accompanied by Miss Ella | any moment. Mrs. McKinley is terribly afflicted with cancer. We sympathize most deeply with these old residents in their sad affliction. As is well known, relates the Archi- son Globe, a school teacher always re- fers to her pupils as “my children.” An Atchison teacher seeing a man on the street the other day whom she ought to know, approached him and said: “I beg your pardon, but aren’t you Mr. , the father of my chil- dren?” The man is running yet. There was a sart of a Wright family reunion at the Findlay spring, last Sunday. The party was made up of some of the sons and daughters of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Wright, Sr, together with their husbands, wives and daughters. The party numbered forty-nine, and the day was spent in renewing old memories, picnicking, ete. A good time is reported. Ex-Sheriff M. H. Hartzell, who had been an invalid for the past two years, died »t his home in Somerset, at an early hour last Monday morning, aged 55 years, > months and 27 days He is survived by his wife, two sons and one daughter. Mr. Hartzell had a wide acquaintance throughout Somerset county, and he was loved by all for his kindness of heart and extreme gener- osity. Tioga county supplies a fine example of the fact that farming in Pennsyl- vania can still be made a profitable pursuit. The son of a former high of- ficial in this Commonwealth owns a 40-acre farm near Wellsboro. Last year he devoted his energies to grow- ing lettuce and celery. His net profits for the season, after deducting all ex- penses for labor, amounted in round figures to $6,000. Upon one carefully measured acre was produced a cool $900 profit from celery —Clearfield Public Spirit. Here is a story which “The Argonaut” tells and which illustrates the estimate the German citizen places on sauer- kraut as a food staple. A German was speaking last fall about the high price of cabbage. “I tell you, dese kabbages is awful high, dis year,” he said: “me und me vife puts up six, seven, eight barrels of sauerkraut every year—but ve can’t dis year. Dem kabbages dey cost too much.” “You put up some sauerkraut. didn’t you, Chris?” he was asked. “Oh, yes—two or t’ree barrels —just to haf in de house in case of sickness.” William J. Hirt, a baker of Meyers- dale, made an attempt at suicide in a room of the Hotel Union, last Friday. Hirt cut his throat and inflicted deep gashes on his arms with a broken beer bottle. He was almost dead when found, but will probably recover. The wounded man, however, asserts that he wants to die and ~ays that he will suc- ceed in killing himself. Hirt came to Meyersdnle a few weeks ago and regis- tered from Pittsburg. He has stated that was not his home, but that he had a sister living at 2718 Ann street, South Side, Pittsburg. In accordance with the Lambert law, the county commissioners let the con- tract, last week, for painting and tight- ening bolts of county bridges. Percy Mostoller was awarded the contract for all the bridges over Stonycreek. and for the bridges immediately north east and south of Somerset. Saylor Bros., of Somerset, painted the bridge over Kimberly Run, on the Berlin- Somerset road. J. J. Farling, of Rock- wood, paints the bridges over the Cas- selman, and J. H. Tressler does the work on the bridges at Fair Hope and Williams. The contract price is 25 cents per foot, says thg Berlin Record. Prof. D. F. Enoch, of Tunnelton, W. Va., was hired as principal of the Salis- bury schools, last Saturday evening. Prof. Pool, of Hyndman, Pa., who had been hired for that position some time ago, was found to be after a position at two other places, and for that reason he was promptly and very properly dropped, and the position given to Prof. Enoch. On Tuesday evening the school board met and hired teachers for the other rooms, as follows: First Primary, Kate Mier; Second Primary, Adaline Boucher; First Intermediate, Carrie Johnston ; Second Intermediate, May Arnold; Grammar, Jenet Mec Kinley. A Kansas editor who stopped at the Inside Inn, at St. Louis, writes: “There are more beilboys than guests in the inn. They use ’em for change.

Leader, of the death of two of our good old-time friends at Carleton—T. E. Hiatt and Susan Matchets, both aged upwards of 73 years. Mr. Hiatt is sur- vived by four children, to whom we extend our sympathy. Aunt Susan Matchett, as she was called by every- body in the community, is survived by her husband and one som. We never knew the son, but his dear old parents will never be forgotien by the editor of this paper as long as he lives. Uncle Joe and "Aunt Susan Matchett were among the dearest old people we ever knew, and to the~aged and bereaved husband we extend our deepest and most tender sympathy. Few if any men in this or any of the surrounding towns.enjoy a war record more interesting and varied than does Joseph H. Arnold. Enlisting at Berlin, in the Fifty-fourth Pennsylvania, at the age of 14, he served throughout the war, taking part in 18 engagements, among which were Winchester, Cold Harbor, Petersburg and Lynchburg. Mr. Arnold says his worst experience was at Cold Harbor, where he was compelled to remain in the trenches for seven days with practically noth- ing to eat. He was wounded at Lynch- burg, made prisoner at High Bridge and won distinction at Fisher’s Hill by capturing a stand of colors. When the war ended he immediately enlisted in the Regular light artillery for three years, and at the expiration of that time he again enlisted and seryed five yearsin the Fifth United States cavalry on the frontier. Mr. Arnold is still bale and hearty and says he is ready to serve more years if his country needs his services.—Hyndman Bulletin. J. H. Washington, a negro residing at Coal Run, met with a very serious ac- cident, yesterday. He was driving down Negro Mountain in an open buggy, accompanied by his daughter, aged about 14 years. He had with him a shotgun, which he carried cocked, and had been shooting squirrels along the road. Occasionally he would prod his horse with the stock of the dun to urge the animal along, which was in- deed a very foolish use to make of a cocked gun Well, the gun was dis- charged, as might have been expected, and Washington got the contents in his right forearm, tearing the flesh and muscles away in a mosc horrible man- ner. Blood flowed freely from the ugly wound, but it was checked con- siderably by his daughter assisting him in wrapping tbe arm tightly above the elbow with a hitching strap. Then the horse was driven as rapidly as possible to Salisbury, where the unfortunate man was given proper surgical atten- tion. No bones were shattered, but it will be a long time before Washington will be able todo any work, and we believe he will know better hereafter than to use a cocked and loaded gun for a horsewhip. 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. I 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. Satisfae- tion guaranteed by E. H. Miller, Drug- gist. : 8-1 Conviet Mother of Ten Childred is Pardoned. Cumberland, Md., July 18.—That Pre-ident Roosevelt appreciates efforts to head off the race suicide that he fears, has been demonstrated here by his remitting the sentence of Mary L. Kis- ner, of Friendsville. She was recently convicted of counterfeiting in passing a $1 note which she had raised to a $5 note. She was sentenced to four months in Oakland jail. An application for the woman’s par- don, which was sent to the Iresident, cited her ill health and the crowded and unsanitary condition of the jail as causes for release. The petition added that Mrs. Kisner’s 10 children were suffering by the lack of her attention. It is believed that the 10-children clause appealed more to the President than the other arguments. NIGHT WAS HER TERROR. “I would cough nearly all night | long,” writes Mrs. Chas. Applegate, of Alexandria, Ind,, “and could hardly get any sleep. 1 had consumption so bad that if IT 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 | | expands—swells, and puffs up against cured me and I gained 58 pounds.” It’s | absolutely guaranteed to cure Coughs, Colds, La Grippe, Bronchitis and all Throat and Lung Troubles. and $1.00.

Turner’s many | his recovery. friends in Cambria county will be sorry to learn of his sad misfortuane.—Johns- town Tribune. If the above is correct, the people of Salisbury, among whom Rev. Turner has many warm friends, will alse be very sorry. Rev. Turmer moved from here to Jamestown, N. Y., early last spring, where THE Star bas been going to his address ever since. The Trib- une’s information is the first intima- tion we have had of Rev. Turner’s al- leged insanity, and we earnestly hope that it may prove untrue. 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 1 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 Bosgue county, our present home, and one day I happened to see an advertisement of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera 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 IT was well again, or believe it could be so after having suffered so long, but that one bottle of medicine, costing but a few cents, cured me.” For sale by E. H. Miller. * 8-1 ea A Pointer for Candidates. Two candidates for office in Missouri were stumping the northern part of the State, and in one town their appear- ance was almost simultaneous. The eandidate last arriving happened to stop at a house for the purpose of get- ting a drink of water. To the little girl who answered his knock at the door he said, when she had given him the desired draught and he had offered her in recompense some candy: “Did the man ahead of me give you any- thing?” “Oh, yes, sir,” replied the bright girl, “he gave me candy.” “Ah!” exelaimed the candidate, “here’s 5 cents for you. I don’t suppose that he gave you any money !” The youngster laughed merrily. “Yes, he did, too. He gave me 10 cents!” Not to be outdone, the candidate gave the little one another nickle, and, picking her up in his arms, kissed her. “Did he kiss you, too?” he asked, genially. “Indeed, he did, sir!” responded the little girl, “and he kissed ma, too!”— Collier’s Weekly. CHOLERA INFANTUM. This has long been regarded as one of the most dangerous and fatal dis- eases to which infants are subject. It can be cured, however, when properly treated. All that is necessary is to give Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and castor oil, as directed with each bottle, and a cure is certain. For Sale by E. H. Miller. 8-1 The Water Cure for Whiskey. “Rambler,” in Green County (O.) Press: Water is a mighty good thing. It is necessary to every form of life, and man by its use both as a drink and ablution is healthier and happier. It is the only thing that will quench thirst, and mixed with a little soap is most excellent for an outward application. People should use water freely. Taken internally in copious draughts, it is a sure cure for drunkenness. It is the only thing to effectually destroy all taste for intoxicating liquors. Look here, my reader, don’t sneer and laugh. If you are in the habit of go- ing to the bottle too often, try going to the pump. If a man is honestly trying to break away from the drink habit and is craving for a drink, let him throw his pride to the wind and agitate the pump handle. Drink a pint of wa- ter. Then walk a few squares, get hold of the pump handle again and drink another pint of water. Then go for your liquor and drink it, if you can. Court a very close friendship with the pump, and every time you want a drink, go there. Drink copiously, and in a short time you will find all craving for liquor gone, and one swallow of alcoholic liquor will make you deathly sick. WEAK HEARTS are caused by indigestion.
