We welcome John’s return, for that

John P. Vogel has our thanks for a
fine mess of roasting ears donated to
the editorial family, last Sunday. We
just knew we’d have good luck last
Sanday, because the editor found six
sour-leaved clovers while on his way to
zhurch.
Yesterday six boys from Niverton
were arraigned before Justice Licaliter
for breaking into and stealing money

According to the Record, Berlin is
without a policeman and at the mercy
of the thugs. Berlin is too big a town
to be without police protection. What
every town needs is good police service
and a burgess of the Tom Shipley kind.
Too many officers lack the quality of
backbone that ought to be possessed
by policemen and burgesses.
On Labor Day a little scrimmage oc-
curred in Mrs. Suhrie’s tenement house.
A daughter of Randolph Inks called
Mrs. Anna Haman a scab and other
names, and Mrs. Haman slapped the
xirl, for which she was arrested and
fined 75 cents and costs. Mrs. Haman
is a widow, and her fine was promptly
paid by a tender-hearted striker.
Samuel J. Fleegle, of near Stoyes-
town, is in his eighty-third year and a
remarkably well preserved man. Last
week one day he cradled one and one-
half acres of buckwheat, and his daily
work about the farm would fatigue
much younger men. How many octo-
generians in the county are able to
swing the cradle? asks the Somerset
Standard.
Druggist Miller, J. L. Barchus, Frank
Maust and Prof. C. E. Dickey are down
at the Potomac fishing, this week. We
don’t know whether they took Topper
or Ovarholt bait with them, but when
they come back you can look for some
big flsk—stories. To learn the truth of
their catch, ask Frank Maust, for he
isn’t as experienced a fisherman as the
other fellows.
A movement is on foot among Som-
erset business men to have the B. & O.
railroad repair the old track leading
from Edgewood Station to the power
house, so that it can be used for hand-
ling freight. It is estimated that it will
require about 700 carloads of material
for the new courthouse, and if it can
be unloaded at that point it will be
much more convenient for teamsters.
In the court calendar issued last
week by District-Attorney Rufus E.
Meyers, 128 cases have been put on the
list for disposition by the Somerset
County Criminal Court during the first
two weeks of the September term,
commencing Monday, the 12th inst.
With the exception of thirty-six cases,
continued from the February and May
terms, all the cases have originated
since the May court.
A quiet wedding took place at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. T. Wagner, last
Sunday evening, when their eldest son,
Oscar. was united in marriage to Miss
Clara Bowman, a very estimable as
well as nice-looking young lady from
Bowman’s Station, this county. Both
bride and groom are very excellent
young people, and Tue Star joins their
many friends in wishing them all man-
ner of happiness and prosperity. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. H. 8.
May.
Pious old Joe Hartline nas our thanks
for a nice new prayer book, bible and
hymnal. Every night the neighbors
can hear us sing: “Take all my silver
and my gold, not a mite will T with-
hold.” He also has our thanks for a
bottle of Dr. Pringle’s Pain Paralyzer,
a medicine that will cure anything
from an overdose of green apples toa
snattlerake bite or a trip through a
threshing machine. It will also cause
a man to forget his dreams and wake
ap chuck full of religion every morn-
ing.
A minister down in Missouri found
his people too poor to purchase hymn
books, says an exchange, and being of-
fered the same book free by a patent
medicine house, providing they be .al-
lowed to insert their advertisement,
ordered three dozen for his congrega-
tion. He was elated upon receiving
them to find no ad in same. The next
Sunday morning he distributed the
books, telling the good people of their
fortune, and requesting that they sing
pagel30. His chagrin may be imagined
when they sang as follows: “Hark the
heavenly angels sing, Johnson's pills
are just the thing; and angels voices
meek and mild—two for man and one
for child.”
“A serap between some young women
at Sand Patch, recently, resulted in the
destruction by fire of = $1,800 merry-
go-round. It seems a number of young
ladies of Meyersdale gave a leap year
party to their gentlemen friends, pick-
ing upon Sand Patch as the place for
recreation, and where they leased for
the day a merry-go-round. Some of
the fair maidens from Sand Patch went
to the merry-go-round upon the invita-
tion of the Meyersdale boys, much to
the chagrin of the fair maids from
Meyersdale. The combinations refused
to assimilate, and the girls started a
free-for-all hair-pulling and slugging
match, during which a fire was started
and the merry-go-round destroyed. A
number of informations have been
sworn out by F. U. Dougherty, the
owner of the machine, who carried an
insurance of $800.
“Is there a man in the audience,”
fiercely exclaimed a female lecturer,
“that has done anything to lighten the
burdens on his wife’s shoulders? If
there’s a man here,” she continued,
folding her arms and looking over the
audience with superb scorn, “that has
ever got up in the morning leaving his
tired, worn-out wife to enjoy her
slumber, gone quickly down stairs,
made a fire, cooked the breakfast, sew-
ed the missing buttons on the chil-
dren’s clothes, darned the family stock-
ings, scoured pots, filled the lamps,
swept the kitchen and done all the
ret, if necessary, day after day with-
out complaining—if there is such a
man in the audience let him rise.” And
in rear of the hall a mild-looking man
in spectacles, in obedience to the sum-
mons, timidly arose. He was the
husband of the eloquent speaker. It
was the first time he had a chance to
assert himself.
WHAT 18 LIFE?
In the last analysis nobody knows,
but we do know that it is under strict
law. Abuse that law even slightly,
pain results. Irregular living means
derangement of the organs, resulting
in Constipation, Headache or Liver
trouble. Dr. King’s New Life Pills
quickly readjusts this. It’s gentle, yet
thorough.

CURED OF LAME BACK AFTER 15
YEARS OF SUFFERING.

for fifteen years,and I found a com-
plete recovery in the use of Chamber-
lain’s Pain Balm,” says John G. Bisher,

without an equal for sprains and
bruises. It is for sale by E. H. Miller.
Unionism Brought Them Disaster.
The Salisbury Star acknowledges
that it made a mistake when it advo-
cated unionism among the miners.
The Slavish miners of the Connells-
ville region acknowledged that they
made a mistake when they embraced
unionism some years ago. It brought
them disaster ; the open mine brought
them prosperity.—Connellsville Cour-
ier.

Remedy acts on this plan. It allays

pectoration, opens the secretions, and
aids nature in restoring the system to
a healthy condition. Sold by E. H
Miller.
Will Test Somerset Sweets.
While Secretary of Agriculture N.
B. Chritehfield, of Harrisburg, was at
Somerset, last. week, he directed Rev.
J. F. Shearer. who was appointed to the
pure fool department last April, to se-
cure samples of maple sugar and send
them in to the department for analysis.
It has been reported to the state au-
thorities that some of the alleged pure
maple sugar and syrup sent from Som-
erset county is nothing more nor less
than compounds. The pure food de-
partment comes under the jurisdiction
of Secretary Critchfleld.—Somerset

all the old miners thought that a re-
markable feat. Yet there are people
whe insist that there is a strike on up

Like a Visit From an Old Friend.
Rev. John H. Knepper, of Meyeors-
dale, who had been at Winona Lake,
Ind. attending the Brethren church
conference during the past two weeks,
wrote to THE Star as follows under
date of Sept. 3d:
“The visits of your paper to us here
were like a visit from an old friend.
Many thanks! We are having a very
good conference. Expect to be home
in time to meet my services at Salis-
bury on Sunday, Sept. 11th, 1904, at 2
P. M. Met some of your personal
friends here, among them, J. C. Mackey,
D. D., who made inquiry about you.
Thanking you again, I wish you well in
all your undertakings.”

FROM 148 TO 92 POUNDS.
One of the most remarkable cases of
of a cold, deep-seated on the lungs,
causing penumonia, is that of Mrs.
Gertrude E. Fenner, Marion, Ind., who
was entirely cured by the use of One
Minute Cough Cure. She says: “The
coughing and straining so weakened
me that IT ran down in weight from 148
to 92 pounds. I tried a number of rem-
edies to no avail until I used One Min.
ute Cough Cure. Four bottles of this
wonderful remedy cured me entirely
of the cough, strengthened my lungs
and restored me to my normal weight,
health and strength. Sold by E. H.
Miller.
Move for a Hospital at Somerset.
An application will be made to the
Court of Common Pleas of Somerset
county on Monday, Sept. 19th, for a
charter for an institution to be styled
the Somerset County General Hospital.
The character and object of the cor-
poration, says the Somerset Standard,
is the reception, treatment and eare of
sick and injured persons. Pending the
application for a charter, the persons
interested in the movement are not
giving much information for public
print. It is authoritatively stated,
however, that the several coal com-
panies, whose offices are at Somerset,
and other corporations have volunteer]
ed to make liberal appropriations for a
hospital at Somerset. Several sites for
the proposed hospital are in. view, one
of them being McKinley Place, which
probably will be sold at public sale in
the near future. There is some talk,
too, of erecting a building on the Scuth
Side, where a free site has been offered.
While Somerset is not located close
to minesand public works, geograph-
ically it is the best peint in the eounty
for a general hospital. The state will
be petitioned for an appropriation.
THE STOMACH I8 THE MAN.
A weak stomach weakens the man,
because it eannot transform the food
he eats into nourishment. Health and
strength cannot be restored to any sick
man or weak woman without first re.
storing health and strength to the
stomach. A weak stomach cannot di-
gest enough food to feed the tissues
and revive the tired and run-down
limbs and organs of the body. Kodol
