An old-time Democrat in a Michigan
town, was discussing politics with a
rural Democrat, at the same time di-
viding a sack of peanuts between them
and spreading the shucks over the
courthouse steps. “How did you like
Judge Parker’s speech of acceptance?”
asked the town Democrat. “Well,”
said the rural delegate, as he took
another handful of peanuts, “I like
peanuts a whole lot better.”
A woman is canvassing some sec-
tions of the state, pretending to be so-
liciting subscriptions for a periodical
for females, and offers as premiums a
full set of china dishes, or a set of solid
silver knives and forks, or a four-karat
diamond ring, or almost anything a
subscriber desires up to a brick house
and lot. 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

Zan strengthens the blood vessels and
nerves so that pilea are impossible.

The Aultman-Taylor Mfg. 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.

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

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.

Occasionally some fellow with a
knowing look in his eye tells the editor
that he saw something in this paper
that didu’t suit him. 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-

kidney or bladder trouble to get a bot-
tle of Pineules at once. Sold by Elk

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.

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.

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.
