Report says that Sam Buckwan was
the recipient one day last week of =a
draft for $4000, the present of a friend

times greater, and then you would see

Howard H. Keim, of Ladoga, Ind., in

paper is the only one of its kind. and I
enjoy it. I am just home from a trip
to Illinois. Farming land in the great

acre has been paid for a 200-acre farm

value since we bought it. Wish you
could come over and help us eat melons.
I wish you continued success.”
Uncle Jakey Heinbaugh, who was
thought to be approaching the end a
few weeks ago, is showing his remark-
able vitality by getting around again.
Mr. Heinbaugh is 87 years old, and
people who remember him in his prime
say that he was the strongest man that
ever trod Somerset county soil. Uncle
Abe Yowler, who is a frisky boy com-
pared with Uncle Jake, says that he
saw the latter hitch himself to a stone-
boatload of rock a goodsized horse had
failed to pull and walk off with it.
Other equally marvelous tales of his
enormous strength in his prime are
told.—Rockwood Gazette.
Bee’s Honey and Tar is different from

Several people out in the vicinity of
Barronvale have come up against the
lightning rod swindler with disastrous
force. One man paid $140 for having
his buildings ornamented with copper
rods and pretty steel points, and an-
other $300. Which reminds us of Uncle
Josh Weathersby’s experience with a
lightning rod agent, who upon return-
ing home from a neighbor’s found that
the agent with whom he had signed a
contract had “put seven rods on the
house, six on the barn,two on the corn-
crib, one on the crabapple tree, and had
the old brindle cow up in a fence corner
trying to put one on her.”—Rockwood
Gazette.
A new theory that is proving success-
ful in the cure of Coughs, Lung and
Bronchial affections is offered in Bee’s
Laxative Honey and Tar. This remedy
cuts the mucus, heals the membranous
lining of the throat, lungs and bron-
chial tubes; wards off Pneumonia and
strengthens the system generally.

The wife of Oliver W. Boyer died
about 8 o’clock Tuesday morning, the
13th inst., after a long and severe seige
of dropsy. She was aged 72 years and
three months. Mrs. Boyer resided in
Salisbury nearly all her life. She was
a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs.
Samuel Glotfelty. She is survived by
her husband and the following named
children: Lloyd C. Boyer, Mrs. Ada
Hilton, Mrs. M. J. Glotfelty, Mrs. S. R.
McKinley and Mrs. Fred Otto. Two
sons, Milton and Samuel, died some
years ago. The funeral took place
yesterday at 2 o’clock p. m., conducted
by the pastor of the M. E. church of
Meyersdale. The service was very
short, as the deceased requested before
her death that no lengthy sermon
should be preached. Mrs. Boyer did
not believe in eulogies of the dead, for
which she deserves credit. Peace to
her ashes.
You cannot cure piles by external
application. Any remedy to be effec-
tive must be applied inside, right at the
seat of the trouble. ManZan is put up
in a collapsible tube, with a nozzle, so
that it reaches inside and applies the
remedy where it is most needed. Man-
Zan strengthens the blood vessels and
nerves so that piles are impossible.
ManZan relieves the pain almost in-
stantly, heals, soothes, cools and cures

They tell a good joke on our old
friend and college chum, Bill Kyle.
Biil is an enthusiastic member of the
United Mine Workers, and he was at a
union dance, one night last week, vig-
orously turning an ice cream freezer.
He was surrounded by a large crowd
of men that were calling for cream, but
Bill would say: “Just wait a few
minutes more gentlemans, till the
| cream’s froze.” Well, he churned and
churned, the sweat rolling off of him
in huge drops, but the cream refused
to get solid. When nearly exhausted
he opened the freezer tosee what was
wrong, and then discovered that he
had been turning a freezer that had no
dasher in it. That was a pretty good
joke on Bill. but the striking miners
are all doing about the same foolish
thing. They are trying to freeze the
coal operators to their terms. but they
are turning an old squeaky freezer that
has neither ice nor dasher in it.
WHAT IS 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. Only 25c¢. at E. H. Miller’s
Drug Store.
Female Swindler.
A smooth female swindler is travel-
ing in many sections under the guise
of an agent selling medical books to
women. Her method is to take orders
for as many of a set as her beguiled
victim sees fit to order—and sign a
document to secure. Sometimes but
two or three or four of the twelve
booklets are subscribed for, but that
doesn’t make any difference to the so-
licitor or the unsuspecting woman
whom she dupes. When the signed
order turns up for cashing, it is a note
or order, promising to pay for the whole
twelve, as the signature is bona fide,
the printed and signed order is not to
be yvitiated by mere verbal testimony.

CURED OF LAME BACK AFTER 15
YEARS OF SUFFERING.
“I had been troubled with lame back
for fifteen years,and I found a com-
plete recovery in the use of Chamber-
lain’s Pain Balm,” says John G. Bisher,
Gillam, Ind. This liniment is also

A Pretty Wedding.
As per previous announcement, the
marriage of Mr. Samuel Pile Sebell, of
Connellsville, and Miss Alice Augusta
Smith, of Salisbury, took place in the
Salisbury Brethren church, yesterday
morning at 8:30 o’clock.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. J. H. Knepper, of Meyersdale, and
was witnessed by a large number of
admiring friends. The church was
handsomely decorated with flowers,
autumn leaves, ete., and the bride and
groom presented a most tasty and pret-
ty appearance. The ceremony was
very impressively and gracefully per-
formed, and the whole affair was ex-
ceedingly well executed.
The happy couple are the recipients
of many handsome presents, and they
will be at home at 348 East Main street,
Connellsville, Pa., after Oct. 12th. THE
Star joins the many friends of the
newly wedded couple in wishing them
a long and happy life.

GAS FOUND AT CONFLUENCE.
Johnstown People Have Struck
Well of High Pressure in That
Vicinity.
Confluence, Sept. 13.—A gas field. the
extent of which is not at present defi-
nitely known, has been discovered in
the vicinity of Confluence. A well
drilled within two miles of the town
has been corked now for several weeks.
The discoverers of the field are Jehns-
town people. They came here, it is
claimed, with the intention of drilling
a test well for oil. They were down
less than 200 feet when a body of gas
was struck thai prevented any further
drilling for oil. A pressure that equals
the best of the wells in the Southern
Fayette county field, those on the in-
side say, exists at the well. It was a
month or so after the well was corked
that the general public in this vicinity
became aware of the fact that a gas
field that may rival that of Green
county and some of those in West Vir-
ginia has been discovered in Lower
Tuarkeyfoot township.
The owners of the well have taken
options on considerable territory sur-
rounding the present well, but a great
acreage is still in the hands of the
farmers owning the ground. They have
almost without exception refused to
lease.
A gas field of lasting supply at Con-
fluence would be a boon to all the
towns in Somerset county, to which it
could be easily piped.

aids nature in restoring the system to

A Model Little Barn.
Esquire Levi Lichliter recently erect-
ed on his Gay street lot a barn of which
he is justly proud. For neatness, sub-
stantiability and convenience, it sur-
passes anything in that line we have
yet seen.
The structure is 26x52 feet, and the
material used is of the best. The
framework is very substantial, and it
is covered with fine surfaced lumber
and a most excellent slate roof.
+ On the first floor is a commodious
wagon shed and a number of the best
constructed stalls we have ever seen,
one of them a nicely arranged box
stall, just the thing for a horse or cow
if one should become sick.
The horses can be led into or out of
the wagon shed either through an in-
terior or exterior door, and the shed is
large enough to drive a team nnd wag-
on into it before umhitching.
The mangers, feed boxes, etc., are
well tinned ro keep horses from gnaw-
ing them, and the feeding entry is well
equipped with spacious and convenient
feed bins.
On the second floor is room for a
large amount of bay, and immediately
above the wagon shed is a 35-barrel
tank, which is supplied with water
from the roof. This is convenient for
washing buggies and wagons, and Mr.
Lichliter also has a pipe leading the
water from the tank to his kitchen
door, where it can be tapped for wash-
ing and scrubbing purposes.
The building is nicely painted and |
well supplied with windows, and we
cannot see how a barn could be made
more comfortable or convenient. It is
worth going to see, especially if you
are thinking of building a barn.
THE STOMACH IS THE MAN.
A weak stomach weakens the man,
because it cannot 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. KXodol
Dyspepsia Cure digests what you eat,
cleanses and strengthens the glands
and membranes of the stomach, and

stomach troubles. Sold by E.H. Mil-

Addison News.
A. 8. Jeffreys died at his home in Ad-
dison, Sunday evening, Sept. 11th, 1904,
after an illness of about 15 days. He
was in his 60th year, and lived in Ad-
dison 34 years. He is survived by his
wife and seven children, viz: C. N.
Jeffreys, postmaster of Addison; Walt-
er Jeffreys, of Pittsburg; Judson Jef-
freys, pastor of M. E. church at Fair-
chance, Pa.; Frank Jeffreys, of Mark-
leysburg, Pa.; Albert Jeffreys, of Ad-
dison, Pa.; Mrs. Harry McCulloh, of
Elk Lick, Pa., and Ruth Jeffreys, of
Addison, Pa. Mr. Jeffreys was a good
citizen and will be greatly missed in
this community. He was a stockhold-
er and officer of the First National
Bank of Addison. The funeral will
take place on Tuesday, the 13th
inst. We all extend our sympathy to
the sorrowing friends.
Our schools opened on Monday, Sept.
12th.
It is reported here that the West
Virginia and Garrett County telephone
lines have consolidated. That is what
they should have done long ago, and
they should be put in better condition.
Last Saturday Bert Rush, of Union-
town. was here and went out hunting.
He tied his horse to a tree, hitching it
pretty long, and the animal got one
leg over the hitching strap, strangling
itself to death in that way. The horse
was valued at $200.
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 I 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.
Keep This in Mind.
An exchange very truthfully says:
Every man in every town during the
course of his lifetime has to ask a favor
of an editor—pot an exception to this
rule. A man may may escape a doctor,
keep clear of the court, but once in a
lifetime, at least, every man has to go
to the newspaper to have a certain
piece put in—a death notice, a mar-
riage notice, etc.,, to have a certain .
piece kept out or to have his name
printed in, or omitted from some item.
It is therefore to your interest to treat
the editor fairly. He desires to be
fair ; he would rather do the right than
the wrong thing; but if you give him a
kick, the dent of it may be found in
the top of your own hat some day, and
you will never know how it got there.
Don’t you think you are immune ; don’t
think that Providence has especially
favored you. - Your time will come,
and when it does, it will be a fine in-
vestment if you have a friend in the |
editor’s office.
