A farmer came to town a short time

tobacco, a package of breakfast food

You cannot cure piles by external

Archie Hamilton and family, of
Boynton, were taken to the County
Home, several days ago, as they were
not able to support themselves. If we

taken away.
An old lady who had never ridden on
a railway car recently visited a station

She took = chair and prepared to enjoy

rides real easy, don’t it?”

Swindlers are said to be after the
farmers with a stock food remedy, and
another gang works them for fruit
trees. One appoints a local agent, and
he signs a note, of course. The other
offers to buy all the fruit the farmer
has to sell. Both games are too easy
for anybody with common sense to get
into.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Winter, of
Baltimore, Md., are spending a two-
week’s visit in this city. Mr. Winter
will be remembered as the genial chief
clerk of Carlos Mares and Ehlen Broth-
ers when they used to be engaged in
the coal business in this region. That
was some years ago, and during that
period Mr. Winter was a frequent
business visitor here. He speaks five
languages and has many warm friends
here.

Marshall Field, of Chicago, is said to
pay taxes on more property than any
other man in the United States. He
gave in to the assessors $40,000,000
value of personal and real estate prop-
erty in the city of Chicago. New
1 York’s chief taxpayer, on real estate, is
John Jacob Astor, whose tax holdings
are estimated to be worth $35,300,000

A smooth talker is traveling over the
country purporting to be getting up a
directory of the rural routes of the
country. He gets ads from the merch-
ants to help pay for the publication,
promising them the support of the
patrons in proportion to their help.
Then he sells the directories to the
mail order houses, who flood the
country with catalogues. This is a
fine scheme to get the home merchants
to pay for a list which is intended to
benefit the mail order houses only, the
natural enemies of the home merch.

The same old chestnuty rumor has
agsin been sprung this week, to the ef-
fect that the coal operators of this re-
gion are about to recognize the union
and sign a scale agreeing to pay the
George's Creek rate. It’s the same old
lie sprung by strike leaders to keep
their deserting brethren in line. Noth-
ing could be farther from the truth,
say the operators, and only a few days
ago 38 more of the strikers went to
work in the region at the 55-cent rate.
We are sorry that the 66-cent rumor is
not true, but it isn’t, and that’s all there
is to be said.
Some time ago our old friend and
college chum, Dr. Howard DeLozier,
had a horse placed in his charge by
Attorney J. C. Lowry, of Somerset,
with instruetions to thoroughly train
and break the animal, then sell it. The
doctor did as he was bid, and then be-
cause he wouldn’t break” himself, too,
by handing over all the money to J.
Calvin, he was arrested on a charge of
embezzlement. The doctor gave bail
for his appearance at. court, and we
think by the time J.Calyin gets through
with our old college chum he (Calvin)
will be sorry that he started legal pro-
ceedings.
Our fellow townsman, Mr. N. E.
Miller, who returned home from his
extended western trip, says that he
was very much surprised at the politi-
cal situation in the states of Towa, Illi-
nois, Indiana and Nebraska. In con-
versation with Democrats he gleaned
the fact that Parker will not receive as
large a vote as did Bryan, four years
ago. He is not popular with the farm-
ers, whom he found loud in their praise
of President Roosevelt and the present
administration. From what he learned
from Indiana Democrats, the impres-
gion is that Democracy has no hopes
for victory in that state.—Meyersdale
Republican.
The heavy hail and rain storm that
visited this locality on ¥riday after-
noon was the worst storm of the kind
that ever visited this locality, at least
in the remembrance of the present
generation. The hm! were not so ex-
cessively large, but the storm lasted
for several minutes, and it is estimated
that here in town they fell to the depth
of at least two inches. The leaves on
the trees were riddled, as were plants
and flowers in the yards, but there was
very little that the storm could dam-
age at this season of the year. Grapes
probably suffered the most, and a great
many of them were knocked off the
vines.—Meyersdale Republican.
Bee's Honey and Tar is different from

We could name, if we felt so dispos-
ed, about four fellows that belong to no
trades union, and who work at a non-
union mill, who are having entirely too
much to say about non-union miners
and their affairs. They use the term
“scab” very freely, but they do not stop
to consider that all non-union work-
men are regarded as “scabs” and
“blacklegs” by the men who belong to
the various unions. The fellows we re-
fer to are not working on a union basis
in the mill where they are empbloyed,
and they also know that they are afraid
to attempt to organize or join a union.
They are acting sensible in working on
a non-union basis where they are, but
they should also show enough good
sense to keep their abusive mouths
shut concerning other non-union men.
The case of Samuel Bowser against
William Gardner, which was to be
tried in court, last week, ended rather
disastrously for Samuel, who had
Gardner arrested for calling him a
“scab,” making threats, etc. Samuel
had a pretty good case, and he could
have easily lodged “Windy Willie” be-
hind the bars, but he made the mistake
to imbibe too freely of spiritous, vinous
and malt “bug juice,” and before he
knew what he was doing he knew noth-
ing. and he spoiled the whole mess by
being intoxicated in the court room
and chiming in when another case was
in progress. He was fined for contempt
of court, the Grand Jury ignored his
case, and he was ordered to pay the
costs of prosecution. It cost him a
little over $30, but “Sammy” wasn’t
soft enough to pay the costs of the de-
fense, which we are told the United
Mine Workers must plank down. Cer-
tain parties tried to bulldoze the plain-
tiff into paying some $20 of costs for
the defense, but “Sammy” just “wunk”
the other eye and told em to go to.
The prose cutor doesn’t have to put up
for the costs of the other side, and
“Windy Willie” has proven himself an
expensive luxury to the miners’ union.
“Sammy” says he blames no one but
himself for losing his case, and he
frankly acknowledges that he made a
mistake when he got full and attempt-
ed to help Judge Kooser to run the
business of the court; but he wasn’t
dumb enough to “cough up” over $20
that the other fellows are in for.

Frantz in Agaln.
“Lup” Frantz is sgain in the toils,
and this time there is a possibility that
he will remain behind closed doors for
some time to come. Friday he threat-
ened to kill E. E. Ross, the West Peach
street jeweler, on the streets in Daw-
son. Frantz didn’t have to carry out
his threats and is now confined in the
Uniontown jail, not being able to get
anyone to put up $500 for his appear-
ance at the September them of court.

Murderer Said to Be in Captivity.
It is reported, and apparently from

erset this morning to take preliminary
steps to have him brought back. The

Physicians Bring Suit.
A suit was entered this week against
the Poor Directors of Somerset ccunty
by Doctors Robert O. Christ and C. F.
Livengood, of Boswell, for serviees ren-
dered to indigent patients at Boswell
during the prevalance of smallpox
there several months ago. The plain-
tiffs claim, in their statement filed.
that they acted under the direetion of
the authorities. The amount for which
the suit is brought is $271.04. Several
families that were without the necessa-
ries of life were provided for by the
physicians, who also secured nurses for
them.
The Poor Directors refuse payment
on the ground that eaeh community
must take eare of its quarantined pa-
tients, this view of the law having been
taken several times by the courts of
this state —Somerset Standard.

Correction Concerning Mrs. 0. W.
Boyer’s Burial.
One of the meanest and most un-
provoked lies published in the daily
papers for some time, appeared last
Friday in the Philadelphia North
American, Baltimore Sun, Pittsburg
Post and Cumberland Times. We have
reference to a dispatch concerning
Mrs. O. W. Boyer’s burial, which was
dated at Meyersdale and sent to the
above named papers by some corre-
spondent who evidently delights in sen-
sation and falsehood, even if it does
wound the feelings of those who are
mourning for their dead.
The said dispatch has it that Mrs.
Boyer was an agnostic, and at her re-
quest no funeral service of any kind
was held at her burial. The corre-
spondence further stated that no one
was at the burial, except those ac-
tually necessary to do the work.
There is not a grain of truth in the
report, and the correspondent could as
easily have learned the facts and sent
a true account to the daily papers as to
send a false account that is brutally
unjust. Naturally the relatives of Mrs.
Boyer are very indignant.
The deceased was not an agnostic,
neither did she request that no funeral
service should be held. She requested
that the services be brief and devoid of
eulogy. to which she was very sensibly
opposed, and her wishes were carried
out to the letter by the M. E. parson of
Meyersdale. The funeral was attended
by a considerable number of friends,
and there is no room for sensation in
writing a truthful account of it.
REUNION OF THE FIFTY-FOURTH.
Everything is progressing favorably
for the reunion of the surviyors of the
Fifty-fourth Pennsylvania Volunteers,
which will be held in Johnstown next
month, and on which occasion the vet-
erans will have as their guests the
members of Col. Ashby Turner camp,
C. W.V., of Winchester, Va. A meet-
ing of the old soldiers of this city was
held last Saturday evening in the G. A.
R hall, and a number of the prelimin-
aries discussed.
The badge committee has already se
cured the emblems for the oceasion and
turned them over to the association.
The badges are very neat, and consist
of a button suspended on a red, white
and blue ribbon. The button has a pie-
ture of Major Enoch D. Yutzy, who was
the Major of the Fifty-fourth and at
one time a resident of Ursina, Somerset
county. It is also lettered as follows:
“Thirteenth Regiment, Pennsylvania
Volunteer Infantry, Johnstown, Pa.,
Oct. 4-5, 1904” The committee on
transportation reported that it had
succeeded in getting a rate of twocents
a mile on the Pennsylvania and all of
its branch lines. This is about two-
thirds of the regular fare.
The ex-confederates will arrive in
Johnstown the evening of October 3
over the S. & C. branch, and will be
met by a reception committee of the
local soldiers. This committee, which
was appointed Saturday night, consists
of Robert Parsons, William Fredericks
and Jacob A. Glass. While the pro-
gram of entertainment has not yet
been made, it has been determined
that there will be a parade at 10 o'clock
the morning of the first day of the re-
union. This will be participated in by
the local soldiers and their guests, who
will wear their blue and gray uniforms,
respectively. It is probable that there
will be a session in the G. A. R. hall
just preceding the parade, when several
addresses will be made, including an
address of welcome and a response.
It is expected that there will be about
50 members of the confederate camp in
attendance.—Johnstown Democrat.
