The Best Physicians Had Given Him Up, But Neuropathy Cured Him. Mr. Henry A. Groce, one of the pio- neer residents of Elgin, Ill., was saved from a terrible and lingering death from dropsy and heart disease by means of thé wonderful discovery Neuropathy, which teaches that derangements of the brain centers are the principal cause of many diseases, He says: “It is about five years since I took Dr. Miles’ Neuropathic Treatment for dropsy and heart disease. My condi- tion was extremely critical. I experi- enced great difficulty in breathing and could not lie down without smothering. My limbs and body were badly swollen and I became very weak. I had been under treatment by the best physicians of Elgin, and was growing worse every day. They could do nothing to relieve me, and, in fact, gave me up to die. As soon as I consulted Dr. Miles he showed me that my doctors had failed to understand my case and said he could help me. It was wonderful how soon relief came. It was almost in- stantaneous. I was soon a well man. The cure was truly wonderful consider- ing my age, which was seventy at that time. I am now seventy-six years old, and able to enjoy life.” Mr. Groce is only one of the many hundreds of remarkable cures effected by Dr. Miles’ discovery regarding the “Brain Centers.” The Doctor’s repu- tation as a specialist is national. His Heart and Dropsy Cure is a marvel. Every person afflicted with disease of the heart, stomach, kidneys, nerves or dropsy., which often complicate each case, should send the Doctor a descrip- tion of his case, and he will send vou one thousand testimonials, his Book, end $250 Trestment free.

Last Friday afternoon was a busy time in Burgess Lowry’s court, when Joseph Wagner, Jr., Chas. Crow, Mich- ael Harding, Arthur Emerick, George B. Walker, Frank Newman, Herbert Wagner and James Murry were ar- raigned before his honor, the Burgess, charged with fighting and disturbing the peace on the evening of Nov. 8th. The suit was brought by Ed. Phillips, who was assaulted by Joseph Wagner, Jr.,on the night aforesaid, and who claimed that some or all of the other arrested men were kicking, striking and otherwise injuring him while he was engaged in combat with Wagner, who first assailed him. From the evidence it would seem that young Wagner was running around with a “chip on his shoulder” on the evening aforesaid, as seems to be his habit, and tbat he purposely bumped into Ed. Phillips, who has been known as a peaceable citizen ever since he landed here, several months ago, and at Boswell, where he hails from, he bears the same good reputation. When the collision oceurred, Wagner was asked whether he bumped Phillips on purpose, to which he replied: “Yes, and I'll give you more of it.” Accord- ing to the preponderance of the evi- dence, Wagner then “sailed into” Phillips, but it was soon apparent that Bantan Joseph had attacked a man that was far his superior in pugilism, and as a result he was soon on the ground, with Phillips on top of him. It happened about that time that a lot of Wagner’s friends appeared on the scene, and seeing that Joseph was in danger of getting a much deserved thrashing, they at once rushed to his rescue and began to kick and strike Phillips in the face or wherever they could inflict damage, at the same time shouting: “Kill the scab! kill the scab!” for be it remembered that the fight was between a union and a non- union miner. Phillips finally managed to get out of the crowd and run, and at every step the blood was streaming from his wounds, nearly blinding him, when of- ficers and others interfered and stop- ped his pursuers from inflicting further damage. At the trial whieh followed, how- ever, there was not enough evidence to hold George B. Walker, Frank New- man, Herbert Wagner and James Mur- ray, and they were accordingly dis- charged. But the evidence was very strong and convincing against Joseph Wagner, Crowe, Harding and Emerick, and that quartet was fined in the sum of $12 apiece and costs. Crowe at once borrowed money and paid his fine, but the other three were taken to jail in default of payment. They are in, they are in, Most likely through bad gin, Oh! isn’t it a dirty shame and sin? And there they will remain Till they let them out again, But it really serves them right that they are in. THERE WAS OTHER EVIDENCE. We do not mean to say that there was no evidence on the side of the de- fendants in this case, for there was. But it was not evidence that amounted to much, and the principal witnesses were fellows that had been arrested on the charge of having had a hand in the row themselves. Their evidence con- sisted principally in swearing that they did not see Wagner and his friends do- ing the things that plaintiff’s witnesses swore positively that they did do, and that kind of evidence does not amount to much in any court. Furthermore, the evidence of the defense showed all symptoms of having been “cooked up” for the occasion, regardless of the facts. At any rate the Burgess did not seem to take much stock in it, and we think he gave it all the consideration it was worth. Harry Warn, Esq., of Meyersdale, was attorney for the plaintiff, while Virgil R. Saylor, Esq., of Somerset, was employed by the defendants. Both lawyers did all they could for their clients, but it was plain from the start that the defendants had a poor case; and we think their lawyer ‘knew it as soon as he heard the evidence of both sides. At any rate he advised his eli- ents not to bring a counter suit, but “smart alecks” who can scarcely write their own names, always imagine them- selves much smarter than a lawyer, and THE END IS NOT YET. The next day Joseph Wagner had suit entered against Ed. Phillips for mayhem, for during the fight Phillips bit one of Joseph’s fingers, which he says was thrust into his mouth by Joseph, whom Phillips says was trying to tear his mouth and gouge his eyes at the same time. Ed. just closed down on the finger he found in his mouth, and that’s about what any other man would have done under the circum- stances, especially when being kicked and cuffed by a lot of the other fellow’s friends. Phillips promptly gave bail for his appearance at court, then he brought suit against Joseph Wagner, Crowe, Harding and Emerick for assault and battery, adding the charge of mayhem to the indictment against Wagner, whom he claims bit him in the hand. Thus it seems that the biting was not all on one side. And it also seems that Wagner and his crowd are bound to get a matter into court that we think they will be very sorry for by the time they are through with it. To come out second best in the first heat by being convicted and sent to jail, places Joseph and his crowd in a very bad light to start with, and we think that quartet will learn a valuable lesson in the school of experience, which is a very expensive school, but the only one in which fools ever learn. Even the pie-faced Mr. Crowe seems to be at a sad disadvantage to go into aourt, for the very next day after his conviction in the other case, his wife, a most excellent and noble woman, went to Justice Samuel Lowry and swore out & warrant against her husband for asgault and battery. Crowe was promptly arrested, but when his good wife saw the county jail staring him in the face, she had compassion on him and withdrew the suit, but declared that life was almost intolerable with her husband, whom she alleges in her information has been guilty of striking and abusing her. We saw her informa- tion, which is on file at Mr. Lowry’s of- fice, and naturally we feel that any man who will strike the wife he has rolemnly promised to love, honor and protect, especially when the woman is not at fault, as in this case, is a fiend and a coward. He is just about the kind of a brave (?) man that would rush in and kick another man when he is already down and engaged in com- bat with one or more other assailants. Mr. Crowe is a striker in more ways than one, but when he strikes his wife, we feel sure that all decent men, even among his fellow striking miners, will point the finger of scorn at him. It is no pleasure for THE STAR to say harsh things about any man, but when the good of the community demands that we do, we are not afraid to hew to the line, and we do think that every state ought to have whipping posts for wife-beaters. MOTHERS PRAISE IT. Mothers everywhere praise One Min- ute Cough Cure for the sufferings it has relieved and the lives of their little ones it has saved. A certain cure for coughs, croup and whooping cough. A. L. Spafford, Postmaster, of Chester, Mich., says: “Our little girl was un- conscious from strangulation during a sudden and terrible attack of croup. One Minute Cough Cure quickly re- lieved and cured her and I cannot praise it too highly.” One Minute Cougk Cure relieves coughs, makes breathing easy, cuts out phlegm, draws out inflammation, and removes every cause of a cough and strain on lunge.

Baker, 22 years old, whose parents live five miles north of Somerset, is held a prisoner at San Quentin, Cal., and is destined to spend his life behind prison walls unless an appeal for clemency soon to be made to President Roosevelt meets with execa- tive approval. The youth's father, Jeremiah Baker, is circulating a peti- tion, which is signed by hundreds of friends of the imprisoned boy, and which will be forwarded to Washing- ton in due time. Young Baker enlisted in the marine service at San Francisco, without the knowledge or consent of his parents, and claims that while he was attached to the cruiser Charleston, which was lost on the rocks in the Philippines, he was captured by the insurgent forces while on shore leave at Cebu, Island of Cebu. He was held prisoner until Jan- uary, 1900, when with a view to escap- ing the barbarous treatment accorded him by his captors, he was induced to take service with them, which he did, with the mental reservation that he would make his escape to the United States forces at the first opportunity. On May 4, 1900, Baker was detailed in command of a squad of insurgents to execute an American. Going with the command on the evening of that day as great a distance from the in- surgent camp as possible without arousing the suspicion of those under him, he halted the squad and left them, pleading that he must return for fur- ther instructions. He, however, did not return to the insurgent camp, but rode furiously into Cebu, delivered himself to the United States officers and im- plored them to goout with troops and rescue the American whom he had been ordered to execute. Baker avers that he was immediately placed under arrest and wasgtried by court-martial for treason, was convicted and was sentenced to life imprisonment. The court-martial sat on October 8, 1900, and the record of the case is on file in the office of the judge advocate general of the navy, No. 9227, of 1801. Since Baker was a minor at time of enlistment, and his services, to the time of his capture by the insurgent forces shows an honorable record. and that he has already passed more than four years in prison ; that he was un- able to produce witnesses on the trial because of his inability to'reach them; that because of the feeling existing against him at the time of the trial by reason of the trouble then existing in the Philippine islands, due credit was not given to his testimony, he hopes that he may be restored to his parents and to a life of honor and usefulness as a loyal American citizen. Much interest has been aroused here in behalf of the unfortunate young man, and ao effort will be made to have Congressman A. F. Cooper take charge of his case. The Way of the World. It works about like this most of the time—when one man or one line of business is very prosperous, some other man or line of business is apt to be catching it. When potatoes are worth $1.50 per bushel, it is a good thing for the man who raises them, but hard on the man who has to buy them. When the salaried man can buy a barrel of good apples for $1.50, the man with the orchard is dodging the sheriff. The rain which makes one man’s pasture green spoils his neighbor’s hay, and when the wheat men are buying pianos and surreys and starting national banks, the day laborer grunts at the price of flour. A period of hard times makes work and prosperity for lawyers, and a set of aching molars a paying job for the dentist ; the undertaker thrives during epidemics and fatalities to human life, while the sickness and superstition of people make millionaires of the patent medicine men. The intensely cold winter builds up the fortune of the coal man, and when people are dying of sunstroke, the iceman is enlarging his bank account—and so it goes, the mis- fortune and dire needs of some insur- ing good times and prosperity for others. Yet, in spite of all the laws of nature, as well as the laws of supply and de- mand over which we can have no con- trol, there are a lot of blamed fools in this coal region that think the price of mining should always go up and never be reduced. When it is reduced, and a strike follows, there are always some strikers that curse everybody not found cursing the mine owners, and they even get angry and mean toward all who re- fuse to help them curse, pout and make general fools and monkeys of them- selves. B. & 0’S NEW WINTER SCHEDULE. It Will Go Into Effect November 27, and There Will Be Some Changes in Running of Trains. The winter schedule on the Balti- nore & Ohio railroad will go into effect Sunday, November 27, and many im- portant changes have been made, more having been made this year than for some time. Trains Nos. 13 and 16, the Connellsville and Cumberland accom- modation, will not run on Sundays here- after, although they have been running every day in the week for a number of years. Under the new schedule these two trains will run daily except Sun- day. Trains Nos. 1 and 2 will run through to Fairmont on week days. On Sunday train No. 44, leaving Con- nellsville at 6:45 p. m., will run through to Fairmont instead of Morgantown. This train runs through from Pitts- burg: No. 47 will leave Cumberland 10 min- utes later than it does at present, but is given the same time at Connellsville. This will make the train one of the fastest on the division, it being neces- sary to make up the time on the Con- nellsville division. A flag stop has been made at Mey- ersdale for No. 12, the Duquesne Lim- ited. At present it is a flag stop for No. 10, but that stop will be cut out when No. 12 stops there. A new ex- press train has been put on the division, which will be known as No. 45. It will leave Cumberland at 12:20 a. m. and will reach Connellsville at 3:15 a. m. This train is for perishable express, such as oysters, ete. There were no other important changes made. Trains 5 and 6 were not changed in the least, or any of the other trains except those mentioned above. The new schedule is the result of weeks of careful study and hard work on the part of the officials of this division. Supt. J. F. Irwin returned from a schedule meeting held at Balti- more over a week ago, and since that time all of the officials of the operat- ing department have been preparing the time table. No effort was spared to give the public the best schedule that could be devised, and to save many long stopovers in connections.— Connellsville Courier. DISASTROUS WRECKS.
