According to late reports from Rock-
wood, the recent church trouble at
that place is for the time being lost
sight of. If all reports are irue, a
drunken burgess, several members of
the Town Council, a policeman and
some chicken thieves need a big lot of’
public attention, and the chances are
that they’ll get it.
While in Rockwood. last week, we
had the pleasure of making the ac-
quaintance of Mr. John F. Huy, the
genial and popular post master of Glade,
Pa. Mr. Hay never met us before, but
he was pleased to state that Tie Star
has long been his favorite county news-
paper. Many other good people
throughout the county say the same.
The fellow who puts his paper back
in the postoffice marked “refused”
when he is owing the publisher for
what he has already received, will some

service of the universe to pearly por-

pass. But he will be marked “refused”
and dumped into the general confla-
gration of the trash pile.

thing which supports human life, would

The following story is going the
rounds among insurance men in New
York City. In applying for some ad-
ditional life insurance, recently, Wil-
liam Jennings Bryan had to fill up the
usual questions as printed on the ap-
plication sheet. One query was:
“Have you ever suffered from fever of
any kind?” To this Mr. Bryan replied:
“Yes, from two attacks of presidential
fever. both of which were followed by
severe chills. Have completely recov-
ered.”
The authorities at Washington have
fixed a penalty of $200 on any one tak-
ing mail out of the post office other
than their own. All postmasters are
liable to make mistakes and get the
mail in the wrong boxes, and the law
gays that the people must examine
their mail before leaving the office,
and if they have mail other than their
own it must be returned at once. That
it is the fault of the postmaster, makes
no difference. This law includes news-
papers as well as first-class mail.
While in Rockwood, last Saturday,
we took dinner at Hotel Casselman,
and a mighty good dinner it was, too.
Sam Buckman, the fat and jovial pro-
prietor, wouldn’t take a cent when we
wanted to settle our bill. He said the
editor of a good newspaper is entitled
to n square meal free of charge, once
in a while, and we’ll take his word for
it, for Sam is one of these blunt-spoken
men that generally mean what they
say and say what they mean. Anyway,
Sam Buckman runs a mighty good ho-
tel and always treats his guests right.

Editor Gets a Threatening Letter.
For some time a set of dirty cowards
in this locality have been sending
threatening letters to people not in
sympathy with the miners’ strike and
the crimes some of them have been
committing. The following lovely mes-
sage was received by the editor, Mon-
day last, in an envelope postmarked
Coal Run:
“you durty Son of B—h if you dont
kep yur Mouth Shout We Well drag
you out of town with a rope.”
Perhaps we ought to be good now,
but if the manipulators of the threat-
ened rope will only give us a call, we

job of burying small potatoes he ever
had in his life.

Our Oldest Citizen Dead.
Adam Sipple, the aged father of Mrs.
B. Krausse, died at the Krausse home
in this borough, Sunday evening last,
aged 96 years, 3 months and 20 days.
He was the oldest resident of this bor-
ough, and probably the oldest in the
county. He was a native of Germany,
but came to America nearly fifty years
ago. He was a member of the Re-
formed church for a period of 82 years.
Mr. Sipple was highly respected by all
who knew him, and on Tuesday after-
noon when his remains were laid to
rest in the Greenville cemetery, a large
concourse of people followed them to
their last resting place. The funeral
service was conducted at the Green-
ville chureh by Rev. H. 8. May.
The deceased was twice married and
was the father of eight children, five of
which survive him.
A SWEET BREATH
is a never failing sign of a healthy
stomach. When the breath is bad the
stomach is out of order. There is no
remedy in the world equal to Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure for curing indigestion,
dyspepsia and all stomach disorders.
Mrs. Mary S. Crick, of White Plains,
Ky. writes: “I have been a dyspeptic
for years; tried all kinds of remedies
but continued to grow worse. By the
use of Kodol 1 began to improve at
once, and after taking a few bottles am
fully restored in weight, health and
strength and can eat whatever I like.”

the stomach sweet. Sold by E. I.

Assailed, Shot and Robbed.
Shortly after 11 o’clock Tuesday
night William Offman closed his saloon
and restaurant on west Union street,
and started homeward, via an alley be-
tween Uuion and Centennial streets.
Nearly home, three men suddenly ap-
peared, two with pistols, and demanded
quiet surrender of his money. Offman
attempted fight, but three were “too
many” for him and in the scuffle one
of the men shot him through ‘the hip,
the ball penetrating the groin. After
robbing him the men carried him a
short distance and left him, bound and
gagged, in the alley. After consider-
able effort he succeeded in alarming
his household. He was taken home,
| surgical attention given and made as
| comfortable as practicable.
The sur-
geons, however, were unable to locate
the bullet.

Tke main contract was awarded to

and 12 miles of the construction. work

The original charter was secared at
Harrisburg, Pa., in 1901, and the capi-
talization was fixed at $250900. With
the securing of the right of way and
the establishment of a survey, the capi-
tal was increased to $1,500,000. It is
understood that before the road isin
operation about $800,000 will have been
expended.
As far as can be learned the company
will be independent of other concerns.
It will pass through the Salisbury and
Georges Creek coal regions, drawing
business from over 30 mines. It is
possible that both power and light may
be furnished several of these mines, al-
though the bulk of the contracts will
be municipal. What towns will be
served cannot be learned. The elec-
tric line will run from Garrett via
Meyersdale, Boynton and Salisbury to
Maryland points.
The president of the company is Or-
ran W. Kennedy, of Uniontown. H. L.
Borland, president of the Union Realty
Company, is treasurer, and W. J. Ward
is secretary. The directors are Homer
J. Lindsay, William Gibson, J. W. Pry-
ale and 8. M. Graham. The work of
promoting the line was done by W. W.

MINERS’ MEETING.
McCullough, Morgan and Wilson
Address Audience.
The street meeting at Meyersdale,
last Raturday evening, was attended by
a fair sized audience, and the speakers
were Organizers McCullough and Mor-
gan, and National Secretary-Treasurer
Wilson.
With the exception of criticising the
court for exercising its duty and power
in favor of law and order, it is conced-
ed that Mr. Wilson made a very fair
speech.
McCullough and Morgan, however,
delivered the same old harrangue for
which they are noted, McCullough de-
voting his time to lying about and
abusing the editor of this paper, while
Morgan paid his respects to Editor
Bishop. of the Meyersdale Republican.
As we were not present at the meeting,
and know only by hear-say what was
said, we will be satisfied for the present
with the splendid dressing down given
the labor grafters in this week’s Re-
publican.
However, the end is not yet, and if
we can get a few reputable citizens to
make oath to some of the lying asser-
tions that Mr. McCullough is repcrted
to have made about us, we will take
him into court and give him a chance
to prove his assertions, which we know
he can not do.
A WARNING TO MOTHERS.
Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather
of the summer months to guard against
bowel troubles As a rule it is only
necessary to give the child a dose of
castor oil to correct any disorder of the
bowels. Do not use any substitute, but
give the old-fashioned castor oil, and
see that it is fresh, as rancid oil nau-
seates and has a tendency to gripe. If
this does not check the bowels give
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy and then a dose of cas-
tor oil, and the disease may be checked
inits incipiency and all danger avoided.
The castor oil and this remedy should
be procured at once and kept ready for
| instant use as soon as the first indica- |
tion of any bowel trouble appears.
This is the most successful treatment |
