She gives a receipt signed “Miss Urdu N. Agen,” which, being translated, is, “You're done again.” 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.

Co., of Ohio, had representatives here a few days ago to buy our traction engine works. They regard the traction engine made here as the best traction engine on the market, and they are very anxious to buy the patents, plant and sole right to manufacture the en- gine invented by G. D. Miller. If the home company sells, it will require a big price from the purchasers. The Miller engine is a good thing to hold on to. The many friends of Rev. Albert K. Teavis, our genial M. E. parson, are much pleased over the fact that the reverend gentleman has been returned to Salisbury for another year by the Pittsburg District Conference of his church. The jovial red-headed parson was born and reared 1n England, where he served for a time in the army, but he loves the land of his adoption and is as good an American as one eould wish to meet. He is a good preacher, and what 1s still better, a jolly, big-hearted, plain-spoken good fellow. A new theory that iz proving suecess- 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. It’s pleasant. Sold by Elk Liek hin. Co. 12-1 The following method of getting rid of stumps is recommended by the Sci- entific American: “In the autumn bore a hole two or three inches in di- ameter, according to the girth of the stump, verticslly in the cenirs of the latter and about 18 inches deep. Put sinto it one or two ounces of salt petre, fill the hole with water and plug it up close. In the spring take out the plug and pour in about one-half gallon of kerosene oil and ignite it. The stump will smoulder away, without blazing, to the very extremity of the roots, leav- ing nothing but ashes. Charles H. Knapp and E. C. Kyle, the proprietors of the superb Calonial Ho- tel, of Meyersdale, were in Salisbury one evening last week. They were driving what R. S. Garrett says is the best team of horses in Somerset county. Before leaving town, Mr. Knapp, who spends most of his time in Baltimore, enrolled his name on Tur STAR'S sub- scription list, where his partner’s name bas been long ago. Mr. Kyle says THE STAR is one of the papers that he likes to read, because it has a tone that’s all its own, and you never need (o gues at what it means. On Tuesday while passing Lich liter’s grocery we noticed a pile of apples in- side of the show window that looked almost like a pile of pumpkins. The apples were brought to town by Farm- er William Lowry, and all of them were apples that looked to weigh from 12ounces to a pound. The fruit was of the Wolf River variety, and John Lich- liter vouches for it that the Salt River variety is much smaller and more bit- ter. John ought to know, for he’s “done et” Salt River apples eyer since he is a voter, and he reports his erop of them never more promising than this fall. The farmers of Garrett- county, Md., ought te keep their shotguns well load- ed with buckshot and lay for the poul- try thieves from this vicinity. Some of the farmers near Salisbury should do the same thing. There are a lot of idlers in this vicinity that are striking two ways. They are striking against mining coal for 55 cents a ton, and they are also striking out every day to shoot poultry in Garrett county, of which they bring in large supplies. They also forage for other things that they can swipe from the farmers, and the ab- sence of the union label on the stolen property is no objection. The richest train ever pulled aeross the continent from San Franeisco, Cal, to New York City, passed through Dixon, Sunday evening at 5 o'clock. The train was composed of eighteen carloads of imported silk valued at twelve millions of dollars. It was making very good time, the roads clearing their lines for its passage. The value of the load made it necessary to have the cars, guarded ith special men employed for the purpose. The train attracted much attention as it passed through the yards, all ‘the cars bing good box cars of the Southern Pacific road. —Lanark (111) Gazette. Last Sunday Stewart Swmith,.Charles H. Beal, Jr., and wife, W. B. Stevanus and family, Mrs. H. J. Green and P. L. Livengood and daughter were all pas- sengers on the Pittsburg and McKees- port excursion train. Mr. Smith and Chas. Beal and wife went to Connells- ‘ville to visit Mr. and Mrs. S. P. Schell. Mr. Stevanus and family went to Brad- dock to visit S. S. Koontz and family. Mrs. Green went to Pittsburg to visit a lady friend a few days before return- ing to her home in Ohio, and P. L. Livengood and daughter went to visit Minnie Livengood, another daughter, ‘at the school for the deaf near Pitts- burg. A Shannon girl said goodbye to her dearest beloved, who was going away to be gone two months. It was a pain- ful ordeal, for with railroad accidents, floods, fevers and other women, there was no telling if she would ever see bim again. She sobbed till the sound of his footsteps had died away, when, feeling that she needed something to sustain her, she went out to theice box and ate a plate of cold ham, three pieces of fried chicken, half a cake, a piecg of blackberry pie, and drank three bottles of ginger ale. Then she went up stairs, slept sound, and next morning felt so well and happy that she found time to write him a letter telling him she was wretched without him.—Lanark (I1l.) Gazette.

That’s only natural, and the editor doesn’t: care a “darnsky,” as the Russians would say. This paper is not printed for any one person in particular, and the editor isn’t such a fool as to try to please all the people at all times. Some of the critics could probably do that if they were editors, but somehow they always miss their calling and get into some other business where they are criticis- ed just as much as the editor is eriti- cised by them. Every time we go into a grocery we see some goods that we do not like, but we: never show our smartness to the grocer by finding fault with the store on that account. A lot of blamed fools around here take great delight in blowing around that they will never vote another Re- publican or Democratic ticket, just as though somebody cared what ticket they vote. Some of them ought to vote the Ho-tetler oats ticket, others the Hostetler sheep ticket, some the Keim corn and cornfodder ticket, some the Lambert chicken ticket, some the Jennings burglarized car ticket, some the Belle Hamilton ticket, some the Garrett county poultry ticket, some the stolen apple and potato ticket, some the statutory rape ticket and a few other tickets that we could name, none of which bear the union label, but which could be. very appropriately voted by a lot of union jackasses in thig vicinity that we have a good no- tion to expose in these columns. But it is likely that a lot of them will be in jail before election day, where they will not need to go to the trouble of voting any ticket. 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 During the past few weeks we have been advertising for an honest man knowing himself to be indebted to Tus STAR to do some work for us to apply on account. As yet we have not had a single response from any of our delin- quents, but lots of them from men who have their subscriptions paid ahead and are anxious to do the work to ap- ply on advance subscription. Are we to infer from this that our delinquents are all dishonest? We can hardly think that, and we really prefer to be- lieve that most of them are honest. But why do they not respond? Surely they have been reading the advertise- ment, for those not in arrears have been reading it and are after the work every day. But we want to give our delinquents a chance, as we gee a lot of them sitting around the stores every day, with nothing to do, and if you ask them for money they say they have none and can’t get any work to earn it. A thrifty, honest man is usually glad for the chance to pay a bill with his la- bor, and the man who will give you neither money nor .work for that to which he has been trusted, always seems doomed to go through the world “hard up” and be regarded with little esteem by his fellowmen.. We still have work for the first honest delin- quent that may apply for it, but as stated, in the advertisement, we expeet only honest men to answer. ee 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 pres 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 lungs to contribute pure life-giving and life-sustaining oxygen to the blood and tissues. Sold by E. H. Miller. 11-1 Electric Road Men Visit Town. Yesterday the following named gen- tlemen interested in the proposed Meyersdale & Salisbury street railway, registered at the Valley House: Promoter. R. C. Machesney, of Pitts- burg ; Contractor Thomas F. Deegan, of Philadelphia; Contractor J. J. Hough- ton, of Pittsburg; Capitalist W. H. Me- Kinley. of Pittsburg. Just what their mission was, we can- not tell, but Col. Machesney said to the editor of this paper: “lthink cars will be running into Salisbury within ninety days.” The editor thinks Mr. Maches- ney is entitled to another think. At any rate we are getting devilish tired of the old rosy prospects that are al- ways held out but never materialize. HOW TO CURE CORNS AND BUNIONS. First, soak the eorn 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. Ascorn 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.

Gas Struek by Lineoln Oil and Gas Company Near Stoystown. Great excitement is prevalent in Somerset and the whole northern part of our county over natural gas that was struck last week in a well now be- ing drilled for oil and gas near Stoyes- town, by the Lincoln Oil and Gas Com- pany. The pressure is still unknown, but on Monday gas from the well was burned to raise steam in the boiler operating the machinery, and the sup- ply was more than sufficient. The gas was struck at a depth of 2700 feet. The Lincoln Oil & Gas Company is compos- ed almost entirely of Somerset c¢apital- ists.” They have options on several thousand acres of territory in the neighborhood of the well. With the Somerset people are inter- ested a number of capitalists from Johnstown. Two wells have been drill- ed by another eompany in the vicinity of Confluence. One well is at present being drilled on the John Hanna farm, a short distance from Confluence. In the same vicinity gas of considerable pressure was struck several weeks ago, The matter was kept secret, and a great deal more territory was taken up. The company now prospecting has several thousand acres in adjoining tracts, and a number of wells will be put down. The results so far obtained, they claim, are very gratifying. If gas of sufficient pressure can be developed in the field, it will be piped to Union- town, Connellsville, Somerset, Johns- town and other towns. —- PILL PLEASURE.
