Mrs. E. L. Milliron was terribly

The dentists of the United Wo it
is said, annually put $2,000,000 in gold

Mrs. M. Dively, who used to be a res-

residing in Allegheny, Pa., where her
husband was engaged in the drug busi-
ness until he died, about 8 months ago,
has moved to Berlin, where she will re-
side with her father, Mr. John Musser.
Her only child, a son, remained in the
city, where he is employed in a drug
store.
A father recently heard his young
son use a word he did not approve, and
calling the child to him, said: “My
son, if you'll promise not to use that
word again, I’ll give you a silver dime.”
The little fellow promised, and true to
his word, refrained. About a week la-
ter the boy said to his father: “Papa,
Pve learned a new word worth fifty
cents.”—EX.

A man in Ohio who wag saved from
eonviction for horse stealing by the
powerful plea of his lawyer, after his
aequittal by the jury was asked by his
lawyer:’ “Honor bright now, Bill, you
did steal that horse, didn’t you?”
“Now, look a here judge,” was the re-
ply, “I allers did think I stole that hoss,
but since I heard your speech to that
‘ere jury, I'll be dodgasted if I ain’t got
my doubts about it.”
Today there was seen on our streets
what appeared to be the ragged

in this vicinity. He carried a badly
delapidated umbrella and budget, and
he attracted a great deal of attention.

covered to be Dennis wayne dressed

Addison K. Geist, who was well
known to many of our citizens, died at
Friendsville, Md., Friday last, of lung
fever. He was unconscious for two
weeks before death came. The deceas-
ed was ostracised and ignored by all
his near relatives, and when they were
notified of his death, none would come
to Friendsville to take possession of
the body and arrange for the funeral.

arated some years ago.

Messrs. Elmer E. Davis, William P.

give notice in a Somerset newspaper
that they will apply to Gov. Penny-
packer for a charter for an intended
corporation to be known as the Roek-
wood Water Company, the character
and purpose of which is to furnish wa-
ter to the borough of Rockwood. A
franchise has not yet been granted by
the borough, but it will probably be
asked for in the near future, says the

Rachael, the wife of the late Michael
Hay. died last Friday night at an ad-
vanced age. She had been living with
her sister, Miss Harriet Glotfelly. at
whose home she died after a brief ill-
ness. She was the step-mother of J.
M. Hay, of Akron, Ohio. who was here
to attend the funeral, which took place
last Sunday afternoon. The services
were in charge of Rev. H. 8. May, of
the Reformed church, of which denom-
ination the deceased had been almost a
lifelong member. Mrs.. Hay was a
highly esteemed woman, and her death
is much regretted by her many friends.
Chicago is the fifth city in the world
in point of ascertained population—
populations of the cities of the orient
being estimated and practically un-
known. With 2,000,000 inhabitants,
Illinois’ metropolis is larger than thirty
states in the Union. By the census of
1900 it outclassed twenty-six states.
Chicago now exceeds in population the
combined states of North Dakota,
South Dakota, Wyoming, Nevada, Ida-
ho, Utah and the territories of Arizona
and New Mexico. The corporate limits
of Chicago cover 180 square miles.
The area of the states and territories
mentioned is nearly 1,000,000 square
miles, about 5000 times larger than that
of the city.

Some malicious and venomous person
has been trying to make Charles L.
Walker, of Boynton, believe that the
editor of this paper is conspiring to
have his (Walker's) daughter discharg-
ed from her position as teacher of one
of the Boynton schools.
Both the
young lady and her father can rest
easy on that score, as the editor of THE
lungs and bron--
Star is in no way interested or eon-
cerned in the Boynton schools. Miss
Walker is a very worthy young woman,
as well as a competent teacher, for all
we know. Most of the young ladies
employed to teach school, try to do
their duty ; but we regret to say that
school boards throughout this county
are hiring too many worthless young
men to teach. Some of the young men
employed, “booze” too much, and we
could name some that would be served
right if their certificates were revoked,
and the holders thereof “fired” by the
various »chool boards. Big-mouthed
bar-room “slobs” are not fit to teach
school, and we know some of thst kind
that should lose no time in reforming
if they wish to hold their jobs.
The following ‘from an exchange
contains a good word, wether it is true
or not: “A Clarion young woman
flirted the other evening with a middle
aged traveling man, who at once
‘caught on’ and took a walk with the
frisky young woman. As they rambled
on, he questioned her as to the locality
of her home, and she showed him the
house, but when he asked her to take
him in, she refused, saying that she did
not want her mother to see her with a
stranger. But the traveling man in-
sisted on going in, and beforeshe could
remonstrate he had seized her Dy the
arm and hurried her up the steps to
the front door. An elderly lady re-
sponded to the summons. The travel-
ing man inquired if she was the mother
of the girl at his side. Reeeiving an
affirmative reply, the stranger gently
led the girl into the hall, and turning
to the mother, said: ‘Madam, your
daughter flirted with me on the street
this evening, and I have brought her
home to you. She doesn’t look like a
bad girl, and she is altogether too
young and pretty to be on the street
alone at night. I have a daughter of
my own about her age, and IT would
thank any man for doing what I have
done tonight, and so would her mother.
Take good eare of your daughter and
don’t let her walk the streets at night,
and teach her the evile of flirting.”

The Law Against Trespassing.
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 culti-
vated or enclosed lands may, if he has
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 diatriet. The alter-
native for the payment of the fine isa
sentence of not less than three months
to jail. The trespasser may appeal to
the Court of Quarter Sessions.

THOUSANDS CURED.
DeWitt’s Witeh Hazel Salve has
cured thousands of eases of Piles. “I
bought a box of DeWitt’s Witch Hazel
Salve on the recommendation of our
druggist,” so writes C. H. LaCroix, of
Zavalla, Tex, “and used it for a stub-
born case of Piles. It cured me per-
manently.” Sold by E. H. Miller. 121
Dr. Bruce Liehty Sued for $5,000.
An unusual suit for $5,000 damages
was instituted a few days ago in the
Somerset county eourts against Dr.
Bruce Lichty, of Meyersdale, the ter-
mination of whieh will be looked for
with keen interest by the medical pro-
fession. Malpractice is alleged, the
prosecutor being Thomas Kenney, also
of Meyeredale.
The conditions upon which Mr. Ken-
ney hopes to win his suit and recover
damages are set forth in a statement
filed at the prothonotary’s office, Wed-
nesday morning, by his attorney, J. A.
Berkey. Kenney avers that while he
was at work in the Summit mine, one
of the collieries owned by the Somer-
set Coal Company, in June of 1903, the
roof of the mine fell upor him and
fractured two bones of his left leg, near
the ankle. Dr. Lichty was summoned,
and the plaintiff says he “undertook to
relocate and replace in its original po-
sition said left leg so that the bones
would reunite and cause the limb to
become firm as it was by nature.”
This, the plaintiff alleges, the defend-
ant failed to do, leaving him in a ecrip-
pled condition and unable to pursue
his vocation of mining. For this dam-
ages in the sum of $5,000 are asked.
Dr. Lichty is a recognized physician
and surgeon of ability, and has follow-
ed his profession in Somerset county
since 1892.—Johnstown Democrat.
DOESN'T RESPECT OLD AGE.
It’s shameful when youth faile to
show proper respect for old age, but

King’s New Life Pills. They cut off
maladies no matter how severe and ir-
respective of old age. Dyspepsia,
Jaundice, Fever, Constipation all yield
to this perfect Pill. 2bc, at E. H. Mil-

A stroxG effort will be made during
the next session of our Legislature to
have the Pennsylvania ‘Blue Laws”
repealed. They should have been re-
pealed long ago, as they are a disgrace
to our commonwealth. The old Puori-
tanic ideas are hideous in the extreme,
and the only tendency they have is to
make bigots and narrow-minded asses
of men, and produce a despisable set of
mere Sunday Christians, who during
the balance of the week are devils that
need eonstant watching. Jesus Christ
and St. Paul protested against the
Puritanie Sabbath idea many centuries
ago; but we have bigots these days who
no doubt think they are better and
holier than either St. Paul or Jesus
Christ ever were.

ANOTHER person “protected” by vae-
cination has fallen a ready victim to
small-pox. This time the sufferer is
of sufficient social standing to attraet
especial attention to her ease, as she is
the wife of one of Chicago’s most no-
table citizens, and herself a leader in
the society of that city. She is Mrs.
Edwin Burritt Smith, and when her
little daughter was stricken with the
contagion, she followed the child to the
pest-house, and there, with true mater-
nal devotion and self-sacrifice, acted as
the little one’s nurse. Perhaps she
might not have done this had she not
felt herself “protected” by vaccination.
She had undergone this rite and was
assured of its effieacy. And now she
herself is a victim. Her “scar” failed
to ward off the dread disease against
whieh it was supposed to be a safe-
guard,and even if she shall escape
with her life, she must go through the
world the rest of her days with other
scars which ought to be a fresh chal-
lenge to what so many thoughtful
medieal men regard as a grotesque
superstition.—Johnstown Democrat.
Irnrisols, which has for @ number-of
years been one of the most thoroughly
vaccinated states in the Union, is again
being afilieted with smallpox in its
most virulent form, which proves eon-
clusively that vaccination is the most
gigantie fraud, humbug and crime of
the Twentieth century. Lots of re-
spectable physicians are raising their
voices and their pens against continu-
ing the filthy and hideous crime of vac-
cination, but the doctors who would
rather pollute the blood of the human
race and murder and maim innocent,
rosy childhood than to give up their
game of graft, are busy ealling for
more vaccination, and the sad part of
it is, the grafters and legally protected
murderers are in the majority. Those
were sorry days in the states of our
fair land when compulsory vaccination
laws were passed, and if you will only
take notice, you will nearly always find
the most smallpox where the most
vaccination is done. Some doctors ig-
norantly and blindly follow the vac-
cination delusion, but more adhere to
it on aceount of the revenue there is in
it for them.
HERB W. EDWARDS INJURED.
Herb W. Edwards, of Des Moines,
Iowa, got a fall on an iey walk last
winter, spraining his wrist and bruis-
ing his knee. “The next day,” he says,
“they were so sore and stiff I was
afraid I would have to stay in bed, but
I rubbed them well with Chamberlain’s
Pain Balm, and after a few applications
all soreness had disappeared.” Forsale
