He used a balf page together with a good showing of local- limers, and was represented in” every issue of both towfi papers. This year he has contracted for a full page, and declares that he shall continue to ad- vertise ns long as people continue to read newspapers. The biggest and best merchants in the world believe ir ad- vertising. The man whoignores it may succeed for a time, but he will have to give way io the competitor who makes better use of his opportunities.” Jas. Taylor, of Kendallville, Ind., was seriously diseased with kidney and bladder trouble for 20 years. Hetested every known remedy without much benefit, until he used Pineules. This new discovery cured him, and Mr. Tay- lor advises all persons suffering from kidney or bladder trouble to get a bot- tle of Pineules at once. Sold by Elk Lick Supply Co. 12-1 A good story is told on a well known Grantsville inebriate who recently went to Johnstown, Pa., got drunk, bolted into the Cambria steel works, laid down in a corner and went to sleep. Some time later he was discov- ered by an employe who roused him from his drunken stupor, saying: “What in the h—I1 are you doing here?” The Grantsville man answered: *“Noth- ing ns yet, and it may be that I'm in the wrong department.” The ques- tioner-then asked the Grantsville man where he was from: “Well,” said the poor fellow as he viewed with a horri- fled expression of countenance the blazing fires and the rain of sparks fall- ing all around them, “I lived at Grants- ville, Md., before I died.” 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 Sold by Elk Lick Supply Co. 12-1 An exchange truthfully remarks that some people appear more interested in building up and extending aid and comfort to outside papers than they do to those published in the locality in which they live. Perhaps they do not realize that to the extent that this is done the local paper’s ability and in- fluence is curtailed. The way to build up a town is to be loyal to all the in- terests of the town. The newspaper man who would show himself disloyal to his city would be drummed out of town in short order. Yet some people, unthinkingly perhaps, show their dis- loyalty to one of the strongest factors in building up a town or county—the local newspaper, by giving to outside papers devoted to the upbuilding of other localities, news and matter of local importance which ought first to appear in the local paper. 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. Croup and Whooping Cough disappear before its use as snow before the sun- shine of Spring. 1t’s pleasant. Sold by Elk Lick Supply Co. 12-1 Mr. and Mrs. Frank P. Beachy. of Carleton, Nebraska, who came here last week to attend the funeral of Mr. Beachy’s mother, will visit friends here for some time before returning home. Their many friends are all delighted to have them among us once more, as they were both born and reared here, and have ever been popular in the community. Mr. Beachy was a resi- dent of Carleton during the entire period the editor of this paper resided there, and naturally he knows all about our career in that town. As certain malicious persons have from time to time slandered us by peddling around a lying report that we were run out of Carleton, they should call on Mr. Beachy and ask him all about it. Mr. Beachy is a truthful man and stands very high in Carleton, just as he al- ways did here, and if he does not tell any and all who may ask him that Pete Livengood moved in good society in Carleton, paid his debts and left the town honorably and with the good will of a large circle of friends, who would be glad at any time to welcome his re- turn, we will be content to be branded a liar and seventeen kinds of a horse thief. CAN YOU EAT? J. B. Taylor, a prominent merchant of Chriesman, Tex., says: “I could not eat because of a weak stomach. I lost all strength and ran down in weight All that money could do was done, but all hope of recovery vanished. Hear- ing of some wonderful cures effected by use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, I con- cluded to try it. The first bottle bene- fited me, and after taking four bottles, I sm fully restored to my usual strength, weight and health.” Kodol Dyspepsia Cure digests what you eat and cures. Sold by E. H.

James Cosgrove, 60 years old, was found last S8aturday night standing up- right, dead, in 8 water tank at the en- gine house at Eckhart mines. His hands were clasping the intake pipe. Cosgrove was night watchman and went on duty Friday night. He did not return at his home at Frostburg Saturday. and a search was made with the above result. His death is mys- terious, as there was nothing in his manner that would indicate suicide. He was the father of the young lady in charge of the telegraph office at this place. A JUDICIOUS INQUIRY. A well known traveling man who visits the drug trade says he has often heard druggists inquire of customers who asked for a cough medicine, whether it was wanted for a child or an adult, and if for a child they almost invariably recommend Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. The reason for this is that they know there is nodanger from it and that it always cures. There is not the least danger in giving it, and for coughs, colds and croup it is unsur- passed. For sale by E. H. Miller. 11-1 A Good Old Citizen Dead. Jacob McCloskey, one of the oldest and most respected citizens of Elk Lick township, died on Friday, the 14th inst., aged 80 years, 7 months and 13 days. He is survived by a wife and three daughters, also by one brother in Missouri, one sister in Iowa and one sister (Mrs. David Fuller) in West Salisbury, Pa. Deceased had been a soldier in the war of the Rebellion and a member of the United Evangelical church. He was indeed one of our best citizens, and we believe it can be truly said of him that he never wronged any person. He was honest, upright, kind and gen- erous. The funeral took place on Tuesday about 10 a. m., condueted by Rev. S. M. Cousins, the newly appointed pastor of the United Evangelical congregation at this place. EA — HOW TO CURE CORNS AND BUNIONS. First, soak the corn or bunion in warm water to soften it; then pare it down as closely as possible without drawing blood and apply Chamberlain’s Pain Balm twice daily. rubbing vigor- ously for five minutes at each applica- tion. A corn plaster should be worn a few days to protect it from the shoe. As a general liniment for sprains, bruises, lameness and rheumatism, Pain Balm is unequaled. For sale by E. H. Miller. 11-1 A Few Parting Words to Our Friends. Dxar Friexps ALL :—To-day we bid you adieu after a most hearty greeting from all whom it was our great pleas- ure to meet. We are loathe to leave without see- ing all our friends, as our time here was all too short, and we made a great effort to see as many as we did. We enjoyed the hospitality of many and declined the very kind invitations of many more, which we are sorry to have done. : Numbers of fond friends have been called away, and we visited here and there a mound which marks their last resting place, which reminds us that soon we, too, will hear the summons. Little did we think when we left our dear mother less than eight weeks ago, in good health and spirits, that we had clasped her hand for the last time, and that we would meet her body here where it was her desire to have her re- mains at rest. Let us all be sure of the reward that awaits us. Very sincerely, Mg. Axp Mgrs. M. J. BEACHY. eel ie BROKE INTO HIS HOUSE. 8. Le Quinn, of Cavendish, Vt., was robbed of his customary health by in- vasion of Chronic Constipation.

Burgess Lowry Rakes in Nearly $150 for Borough on Monday. Monday was a big day in Burgess Lowry’s court. Eighteen offenders were arrajgned before that officer and fined under Sec. 15 of the borough or- dinances, which covers fighting, pro- fanity, drunkenness, ete.,on the streets, and itis needless to say that the Bur- gess disposed of all the cases with neat- ness and dispaten. The fines and costs in each case rang- ed from $7.25 to $8.75, and the total amount thus gathered in footed up to nearly $150. The trouble started” last Saturday night, when several men became in- volved in a quarrel, and it was only an instant until others were drawn into it. It was all that Officers Thomas and Walker could do to keep the crowd from engaging in a general fight, which, had it occurred, would likely have got- ten some fellows into penitentiary, as stones, steel knuckles, pistols and other weapons would have been used very freely. The offenders were too numerous for two policemen to arrest then and there, and as the lockup is too small to hold eighteen prisoners at once, the officers wisely decided to do nothing more than quell the disturbance at the time, but serve warrants on them all on Monday. Among the arrested men were some that never molest anybody, but were forced into the unpleasant affair of last Saturday night by the taunts and in- sults of others that were looking for trouble. For those who were imposed upon until they allowed their tempers to get the better of their judgment. all good citizens have sympathy. But, of course, they, too, violated the law and had to suffer the penalty. Among the offenders were such shin- ing lights as “Edgah Showaltah” Greene and William Showalter, Chas. Crowe, John Fluke, Frank Newmar, Bill May and others that have long needed just what they got, only more of it. Chief of Police Thomas informs THE STAR that from this time on there will be less leniency shown to big-mouthed, drunken and insulting fellows that are in the habit of using profane and foul language on the streets, and constantly trying to pick a fuss with other people. Mr. Thomas is a good fellow and a good officer, but he has been a little too lenient with the rowdies. He thought he would try kind treatment on them first, but he says he sees that they do not appreciate kindness, and from henceforth he will come down on ‘them with an iron hand. Instead of leading “drunks” home and trying to quiet trouble hunters by gentle means, Mr. Thomas proposes to escort them to the “cooler,” and he will not hesitate to ase his mace as a persuader whenever it is necessary. Burgess Lowry will then treat the cases, and prescription No. 15, which is his most efficient rem- edy, will be administered in Tom Shipley doses. The Burgess is begin- ning to see that the homeopathic treatment isn’t the proper remedy for chronic offenders. GOOD FOR CHILDREN. The pleasant to take and harmless One Minute Cough Cure gives instant relief in all cases of Cough, Croup and LaGrippe because it does not pass im- mediately into the stomach, but takes effect right at the seat of the trouble. It draws out the inflammation, heals and soothes and cures permanently by enabling the lunge to contribute pure life-giving and life-sustaining oxygen SOME SEASONABLE ADVICE. It may be a piece of superfluous ad- vice to urge people at this season of the year to lay in a supply of Chamber- lain’s Cough Remedy. It is almostsure to be needed before winter is over, and much more prompt and satisfactory re- sults are obtained when taken as soon as a cold is contracted and before it has become settled in the system, which can only be done by keeping the remedy at hand. This remedy is so widely known and so altogether good that no one should hesitate about buy- ing it in preference to any other. It is for sale by E. H. Miller. 11-1 to the blood and tissues.
