A thief, doubtless a striking miner,
stole two good rifles from the weigh
shanty at Meager’s mine, Monday, in
broad daylight. Howard Meager, who
was below the dump at the time, saw
the thief running away with the gans.
The thieving rascal will do well to re-
turn them.

busiest part of tne town, these days.

It is reported that our genial friend
Simon P. Tedrow, of New Centerville,
has purchased the Globe hotel in Con-

soon have the reputation of being a
favorite stopping place. Simon is one
of nature’s noblemen.

A Missouri editor refuses to publish
obituary notices of people who, while
living, failed to subscribe for his paper,
and gives this pointed reason: “People
who do not take their home paper are
dead, anyway, and the mere passing
away is of no news value.” And he is
about right.

An argument is put up against men
wearing hats. One writer says that
Indians never wear hats, and bald-
headed Indians are rare. But we must
all remember that the wives of In-
dians are not boss. There is something
in that. Baldness is not always caused
by wearing hats. The wearing of
breeches has something to do with it,
says an exchange.
Several days ago John R. Fair put
carpenters to work on a new hotel
building he is erecting in ‘Vest Salis-
bury. It will be a $5,000 building, says
Mr. Fair, and he can be relied upon to

most accommodating hotel men in
Somerset county, and when he gets in-
to his new building, the traveling pub-
lic will find it a favorite stopping place.

Rey. S. M. Cousins preached his first
sermon in Rockwood at the United
Evangelical church last Sunday even-
ing to a good-sized audience. His
theme was, “Justification by Faith’
and he handled it with unvsual clear-
ness and force. The new pastor made
an excellent imnression on his congre-
gation, which is fully sustained by the
good words that come from his former
pastorate at Hyndman. He and his
family will reside at Salisbury.—Rock-
wood Gazette.
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Com-
pany has taken formal possession of
the property and franchises of the old
South Penn railroad in this state,
whieh it recently bought at a foreclos-
ure sale. The purchase price was a
nominal sum, but previously the B. &
0. had acquired claims against the
property representing an expenditure
of about $15,000,000. The purpose is to
use the line as a cut-off to meet the
competition of the Wabash’s new line
from Pittsburg.
An exchange says that a new and
clever swindle is being operated bya
man who is going about the country
tepresenting himself as a repairer of
sewing machines. He asks to examine
the machine, and while doing so takes
out good pieces and inserts broken
parts and calls the lady’s attention to
it, then he slyly replaces the good
piece he has removed and charges ex-
horbitant prices for his work. Look
out for him. He is one of the smooth-
est swindlers that ever come down the
pike.
A new theory that is proving success-

chial tubes; wards off Pneumonia and
strengthens the system generally.

It is remarkable that Connellsville
did not suffer a food famine this week.
Joe Weaver, a well known Greensburg-
er, walked into Louie Opperman’s
North Pittsburg street restaurant one
night recently, and this is what he ate:
Twenty-three hard-boiled eggs, seven
sandwiches, two cups of coffee and
nine glasses of water. Louie ran out
of eggs and could give him only a short
two dozen, but he has laid in a big
supply and is waiting for his friend Joe
to call again. The bill was something
over two dollars.—Connellsville Cour-
ier.
John Maurice, who was superintend-
ent at the Contental mines about two
years ago, but who now resides at Pa-
mosa, (Barrelsville) Md., where he has
been holding a similar position, was a
pleasant caller at our sanctum on Tues-
day. He renewed his subscription to
the paper and said he came here to
look up a position. He says THE Star
is right when it says the strike is lost
to the miners, and like all other sen-
sible and intelligent men he deplores
the foolishness indulged in all through
the strike by many of the organized
miners.
Mr. and Mrs. Milton J. Beachy ar-
rived here last week from Elizabeth,
N. J. where they had been visiting Dr.
T. F. Livengood and family. They will
visit friends here for an indefinite
period before returning to their home
in Kansas. We are all delighted to
meet and greet Mr. and Mrs. Beachy
once more, and we are very sorry to
announce that the rumor of their lo-
eating bere again is untrue.
Kansas very much, are doing a pros-
perous business there, and Mr. Beachy
says they have no intention of locating
here again.
Hugh Montgomery, a rural free de-
livery route inspector, was here on
Monday to inspect a route along which
the people desire free rural mail de-
livery. The route inspected starts
from Elk Lick postoffice, extending to
the Bender corner near the Maryland
line, via West Salisbury, Niverton, S.
J. Miller's and John D. Yoder’s, and
from the Bender corner back to the
Elk Lick office via Springs, Samuel
Baker's, Compton’s mill and Keim.
The route is about 17 miles long, and if
rural free delivery is granted to the
people thereof, it will be a great con-
venience for them.
A Johnstown eroman who visits nine-
tenths of her time, but manages to
keep strictly up with the styles all the
time, was found crying over a fashion
plate the other evening. When her
husband finally prevailed upon ber to
explain, she said: “Those big sleeves
are coming back instyle. They always
dip into the soup, the gravy, and eyery-
thing else, and when one is visiting,
those accidents keep her so busy apolo-
gizing that she can’t eat, and so she
finally starves to death. And of course,
boo-hoo, you'll go right off and get
another wife, you cruel brute!
how’s that for borrowing trouble?—Ex.
Now,
Here's a case from Marlin, Tex, that
makes the stepmother proposition a
bloody one—and only a prospective
stepmother, at that: C. S. Stewart, a
widower of that town, went away on
business. In his absence a letter came
for him, addressed in a woman’s hand-
writing. His daughters, aged eleven
and thirteen, opened it, and found that
it was from a woman who set the date
in it for marrying their father. That
nigkt, when the father slept, these two
youngsters, who didn’t want a step-
mother, crept up to his bed and killed
him with an ax. That was probably
worse than a second wife, no matter
how poor a one she might have been.
This is one of the times of the year
when the farmer is often annoyed by
trespassers who hunt or trap animals
or game. Nearly every land owner is
loath to take advantage of the law, but
there are times when the provocation
is great. Briefly the law states that
the owner, lessee, or occupant of cul-
tivated or enclosed lands may, if he
have notices posted, cause the arrest
of a trespasser, and the fine is $5 for
each offense, one-half to the owner and
one-half to the school district. The
alternative for the payment of the fine
is a sentence of not less than three
months to jail. The trespasser may
appeal to the Court of Quarter Ses-
sions.
Bolivar, the African elephant at the
Fairmount park zoo, has not lain down
for sixteen years. Four pronounced
depressions in the asphalt floor of his
apartment mark the spot where night
and day the great beast has shifted
from one leg to another. Of course
the elephant sleeps, but he sleeps
standing, with legs braced and well
apart. He closes his eyes and his
keeper says, snores at night. Empress
and Lizzie, companions of Bolivar,
sleep in a recumbent posture. Bolivar
entered the zoo in 1888. He was pre-
sented by Adam Fourpaugh and is said
to be one of the heaviest elephants in
captivity. He is a vicious brute and is
never allowed the freedom of the pad-
dock.—Philadelphia Ledger.
C.T. Hay was kind enough on Labor
Day to let the United Mine Workers
have his grove, free of charge, in which
to hold their picnic, dance and public
speaking. Now, however, Mr. Hay is
being cursed, damned and abused by a
lot of the same fellows that had smiles
and the glad hand for him when they
wanted and received favors from him.
They like,
Mr. Hay is everything but a gentleman
now, in the estimation ef the ingrates,
and all because he wilk not refuse to
sell mining props to the eoal companies.
They expect him to refuse a good
price for his props, ang let them rot
rather than convert theme into: money,
simply because the miners have thus
far failed to win their strike. To have
a stand-in with the union, a man is ex-
pected to make an idiot and a fool of }
himself, and Mr. Hay will do meither.
If all the United Mine Workers thet
Mr. Hay trusted to meat and groeeries
in past years would have the manhood |
to pay what they owe him, which they |
could have done long age, but mever
intended to, he would mot now need to
be selling props to anybody. But as
matters are, the big fool elements in the |
union will just have te content them-~
selves by denouncing Mr. Hay and
calling his teamsters vile names.
Mrs. Hannah J. Green, of Glenville,
a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, arrived
here last week for a visit with her
pieces, Mrs. P. L. and Mrs. 8. L.
Livengood. It was quite a trip to be
made alone by a woman 78 years oid,
but Aunt Hannah is remarkably aetive
and well preserved for a person of that
age, and she had no trouble whatever
on the journey. Mrs. Green was born
in Philadelphia in 1826, and when she
was 1014 years old the family moved to
Mercer county, Pa., and later te Ohio,
which was then the far west. She
grew to womanhood in ©Ohio, where she
wedded Thomas Greene, an unele of
Mrs. P. L. and Mrs. 8. L. Livengood, |
and who, by the way, was also a rela-
tive of the famous General Nathaniel
Greene, of Revolutionary fame. Aunt
Hannah’s husband died about fifteen
years ago, in Hebron, Neb, where the
family resided at that time. Later she
returned to Ohio with her son, where
she has resided ever since,but recently
she concluded to pay at least one more
visit to friends in her dear old native
state. Mrs. Green is in many respects
a most remarkable woman. She is not
only filled with many interesting rem-
iniscences, but is a veritable storehouse
of knowledge which she has gleaned
from books, newspapers and magazines.
She is a person of remarkable memory,
and for her age and sex is one of the
best posted politicians we have ever
known. She is enjoying her visit im-
mensely, but not any more than her
relatives and friends here are enjoyiig
her society. She has our thanks for
several presents in the way of ancient
relics that we prize very highly.

POPULAR COUPLE WED.
Mr. Geo. C. Biser and Miss Laura
Grove the Contracting Parties.
As per announcement in THE STAR,
last week, Mr. George C. Biser, the
popular and genial manager of the
Dull Mercantile Company’s Salisbury
store, went to Frederick county, Md.,
to lead a fair bride to the altar. The
ceremony was performed in Washing-
ton, D. C., and the following account of
the marriage appeared in a Frederick,
Md., newspaper:
“Miss Laura Regina Grove, the well
known and popular daughter of Hon.
M. J. Grove, of Lime Kiln, this county,
and Mr. George Cost Biser, of Elk Lick,
Pa., were married on Tuesday, Septem-
ber 27, at the rectory of St. Alphonsa’s
church, in Washington, D. C. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. Fr.
McCarthy. After the ceremony the
bride and groom were entertained at
luncheon by Mr. and Mrs. Bernard L.
Grove at their home in Washington,
and later in the afternoon took ‘a boat
for Norfolk and Old Point Comfort, Va.
The bride is the youngest daughter of
Hon. M. J. Grove. and is a very attrac-
tive and accomplished young lady. The
groom is also a native of this county.
being a son of the late Henry Biser,
and formerly resided at Buckeystown.
He is now engaged in business at Elk
Lick, where he and his bride will re-
side.”
To the foregoing account THE STAR
adds with much pleasure that the
whole community extends a warm wel-
come to the newly wedded couple.
The bride is practically a stranger in
this community, but we all know her
husband, and he is held in high esteem
by all the good people of this commu-
nity, and they take it for granted that
his handsome bride is a young lady of
great moral worth, refined and accom-
plished. She comes from a prominent
and highly esteemed family, and with
a wife such as she is, we consider the
husband rich beyond the dreams of
avarice. May they live long and hap-
pily in this world, and our especial
wish is that they may live long and
happily in this community. For the
present the couple will board at the
pretty home of Mr. and Mrs. C. T. Hay,
Ord street, where they will be pleased
to meet and entertain friends.
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.

stantly, heals, soothes, cools and cures
