A Conversation
Overheard.
“Wonder if they will have any Holi-
day goods at the Drug Store this year?’
Second Speaker—“Yes, I asked Mil-
ler just the other day, and he said they
would have as large, if not alarger line
than ever before.”
First Speaker— Well, he had as dandy
line last year, and I think he sold it
about all, too.”
Second Speaker—'Yes, you see, he
only gets a few pieces of each kind, but
he gets a slough of kinds,and then
when you buy a present there you
know it is'goéing to be something new
and up to date.”
The above conversation was heard on
our streets a few days ago by E. H.
Miller himself, and we wish to add that
our line of Holiday Goods will be new
and up to date, consisting of Books,
Games, Toilet Cases, Leather and Metal
Novelties, Toys, Christmas Tree Trim-

Weak Kidneys
Treated Free.
A Celebrated Specialist Will Send
You a Complete Special $2.50
Treatment Absolutely Free.
I make this offer for the benefit of
thousands ail over the country who can-
not come to me for treatment.
Kidney disease is one of the com-
monest of human ailments; yet, pos-
sibly, the least understood by ordinary
physicians. The chief symptoms are
backache, too little or too much water,
pain, burning, distress, passing water
too often at night, albumen uria or
Bright's disease, diabetes, puffing of the
eye-lids, hands, ankles or whole body,
deposits in water. ”
am a graduated, practicing physi-
cian, and have for nearly a quarter of
a century, made a special study of dis-
eases of the kidneys. I am a specialist.
I have perfected a system or method of
medicinally treating the kidneys, which
I can so adapt to fit the special symp-
toms of each individual case, as to make
a cure almost positively certain.
To prove to you, what I already
know, the value of this highly perfected
and scientific method of treatment, I
will send you absolutely free, a com-
plete Special Treatment, of the value of
$2.50, specially adapted to your case,
upon request. If you desire I will also
send you my Book and many remark-
able testimonials,
Send me your name and complete ad-
dress, stating age, height, weight, and
principal symptoms of your case and 2
to 4 oz. sample of your water. Mention
this paper. I willsend you Free Treat-
ment and valuable advice. :

Tre full official returns of the last
general election show that Pennsyl-
vania gave Roosevelt a plurality of
505,619. Some of the Democratic pa-
pers declare that the Republican or-
ganization, which the Democratic press
delights to brand as a gang of thieves,
exercised a good deal of forethought in
not returning a Republican plurality
in excess of the entire population of
the state. Well, the next time the old
Keystone state will just make it unani-
mous. There’s but one real political
party, anyway, and that’s the Repub-
lican party.
pe
Tue following decision has recently
been made by the Supreme court in
the case of Miller vs. Hastings borough:
“The borough authorities have no pow-
er to expend public money in defense
of borough police officers indicted un-
der the law, when the borough itself is
not involved. Police officers, in the
preservation of peace, are not agents or
servants of a borough. Their powers
and duties are derived from the state.
to which their primary responsibility is
due, therefore the borough is not liable
for the omissions or commissions, or
malfeasance in the performance of
their duties.
Every few weeks a few new “fairy
tales” are put in circulation by some
of the striking miners of this region.
One of the latest is the allegation that
the working miners have been cut from
B5 to 45 cents per ton, and that they
are now working at the 45-cent rate,
Of eourge, the report is a lie,and it is a
very clumsy lie at that, for the same
fellows that are circulating it are also
telling that the operators are about to
recognize the union and grant the de-
mands thereof. A more clumsy or ri-
diculous lie never was circulated. If
the union miners have the strike about
won, as some of them allege, it would
be strange indeed that the companies
would be sble to reduce their large
present working force from a 55 to a
45-cent rate without even a protest
from the many miners now working.
If that were the case, as some of the
strikers allege it is, the union would be
just 10 cents further away from a set-
tlement than at any former stage of
the game, unless the union is contend-
ing for a 45-cent rate instead of the
district scale price. Thus it will be
seen by all men who have horse sense,
or even good mule sense, that the 45-
cent lie proves the allegation that the
strikers have the strike about won, to
be even a - greater lie. The strike is
won long ago (by the companies) and
whether April 1st, 1805, will bring a
raise or a reduction in wages, the
union will have nothing to do with the
change. The union is licked clean out
of its bootg, and we believe it is licked
to stay licked, so far as this region is
concerned. We predict that all men
who get work in this region from this
time forward, must go to work as indi-
viduals. And we believe it will be to
the advantage of the miners to work as
individuals. The union has been a
curse to the region, and especially to
the miners who have been blindly fol-
lowing the dictates of unprincipled
labor grafters from other states. Hon-
estly now, are there not just a whole
lot of fellows in this region that would
be many dollars and cents ahead if
they would have never known the
union?
AN EMERGENCY MEDICINE.
For sprains, bruises, burns, scalds
and similar injuries, there is nothing so
good as Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. It
soothes the wound and not only gives
instant relief from pain, but causes the
parts to heal in about one third the
time required by the usual treatment.

TOM WATSON’S ADVICE.
Tom Watson, a one-time tail to the
Bryan kite, and recently the Populist
candidate for President, is no longer a
Democrat, no matter what his former
affilintions may have been.
He declares that the Democratic
party is without a definite policy, de-
void of a leader, bankrupt in reputa-
tion, lacking in unity; that its secret
purpose is to foster and protect the
trusts, and therein to deceive the peo-
ple. He predicts that Bryan will be
the Democratic candidate in 1908, and
that he will be a worse beaten man
than Parker.
Watson speaks much that is true,
and he makes a strong appeal to the
South to break away from a party that
is wholly powerless and purely see-
tional, and no longer be the “political
slave of a handful of Eastern capital-
ists.” :
The Democracy of the South is the
Democracy of tradition and not of
common sense. The war is over. The
Republicans of the North harbor no ill
feelings against the brethren of the
South, but are willing to help them,
and they are in position to do it. The
South should follow Tom Watson’s ad-
vice and change its polities, but in-
stead of becoming Populists, the
Southern people should become Re-
publicans.—Connellsville Courier.
A COSTLY MISTAKE.
Blunders are sometimes very expen-
sive. Occasionally life itself is the
price of a mistake, but you'll never be
wrong if you take Dr. King’s New Life
Pills for Dyspepsia, Dizziness, Head-
ache, Liver or Bowel troubles. They
are gentle yet thorough. 25¢, at E. H.

A Pointer for H. H. Reitz.
Although this is their buisest season
of the year, H. Malin & Son, who con-
duct the cider mill at Hydetown, still
take time these days to get out their
pencil and paper and attempt to figure
out just how much money they have
spent needlessly in the past few years.
This line of thought has been superin-
duced by the fact that about one week
ago the supply of coal at the mill was
running short, and the experiment was
tried of using apple pomace in the fur-
nace. The experiment worked like a
charm, and the fuel now consists of
four parts pomace to one part of coal.
Pomace is the refuse of the cider grind-
ings and heretofore has been consider-
ed a nuisance, the manufacturers be-
ing glad to dispose of it in any way.
They couldn’t be induced to part with
it now.—Titueyille Courier.
ANOTHER TROLLY COMPANY.
Two Companies Now Incorporated
to Build Line to Mount Savage.
A certificate of incorporation was
last week granted a company to operate
a passenger railway from Cumberland
to Mount Savage, from Corrigansville
to Ellerslie, and from Barrelville to the
Pennsylvania state line, a distance of
less than 12 miles in length. The capi-
tal stock is $50,000. The incorporators
and directors are George Clinton Uhl,
Mount Savage ; Dr. William Oliver Me-
Lane, Frostburg ; John Henry Holzshu,
James A. McHenry and Charles G.
Holzshu. It is understood that it will
cost about $150,000 to build the propos-
ed line. James A. McHenry and J.
Henry Holzshu are officials of the
Cumberland Electric Railway. The
new company, is a rival of the Mount
Savage and Cumberland Railway Com-
pany,’ incorporated last January by
James Findley and Henry Mullaney, of
Mount Savage; William A. Morgart,
Warren C. White and Lindley P. Bane,
of Cumberland. The latter company
had an engineer over the route, but has
done nothing since. It will be neces-
sary to obtain a franchise for the use
of the county roads from the county
commissioners.— Frostburg Herald.
GRIP QUICKLY KNOCKED OUT.
“Some weeks ago during the severe
winter weather both my wife and my-
self contracted severe colds which
speedily developed into the worst kind
of la grippe with all its miserable symp-
toms,” says Mr. J. 8. Egleston of Maple
Landing, Iowa.

berlain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets,

knocked cut the grip.” These Tablets
promote a healthy action of the bowels,

eficial when the system is congested by
a cold or attack of the grip. For sale

Rapid Advancement of Two Able
and Excellent Young Men.
We are much pleased to note that J.
C. Brydon, general superintendent of
the Somerset Coal Company, has re-
cently been appointed general super-
intendent of the Consolidation Coal
Company. This does not mean that
Mr. Brydon has severed hie connection
with the first named company, but it
means that he is now the general su-
perintendent of both the Somerset and
the Consolidation. His compensation
will consist of a salary of $10,000 a year
and a handsome residence in Frostburg,
Md., for his official home. His time
will be about equally divided between
Somerset and Frostburg.
F. R. Lyon, another popular and
brainy man connected with the Bomer-
set Coal Company, has also been pro-
moted, and he is now assistant general
superintendent of the two aforesaid
gigantic concerns. His salary corre-
sponds to the very responsible position
he holds, and we congratulate Messrs.
Bryden and Lyon on their rapid and
merited advancement. :
Both gentlemen are yet quite young
a high order, and that quality coupled
with energy, honesty and the most
gentlemanly bearing, has placed them
where they are, and the companies em-
ploying them are very fortunate in se-
curing their able services.

Two from the Meyersdale Repub-
lican.
Jacob Lowery, of Coal Run, who is a
striker and a member of the union, as-
saulted Enoch Fosle, wha is working,
on Wednesday evening of last week on
Salisbury street, near the home of Dr.
McKinley. He was arraigned before
'B8quire Hay, who required of him
bond in the sum of $500, to answer to
the charges preferred against him at
the coming term of court. Samuel
Mason, the merchant at Coal Run,
went on defendant’s bond.
While guiding a party of Pittsburg
hunters through the woods, Samuel
Albright, of Greenville township, aged
45 years, was accidentally shot by one
of the city gunners, who neglected or
refused to give his name, Tuesday af-
ternoon. The charge of shot literally
tore away the tendons and muscles of
the calf of the left leg. A party of
hunters from this city, among them
Paul H. Gross, of the City Drug Store,
happened along and heard the screams
of the wounded man, and the well
known druggist, being somewhat handy
in cases of emergency, had the unfor
tunate man removed to a nearby house,
where, with such means as he hai at
hand, dressed the wound temporarily
until a physician could be summoned.
At last accounts the wounded man is
resting as well as can be expected un-
der the circumstances.
BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITS.
“DeWitt’s is the only genuine Witch

Centre, Ala. “I have used it in my
family for Piles, Cuts and Burns for
years and can recommend it to be the
best Salve on the market. Every fam-
ily should keep it, as it is an invaluable
household remedy, and should always
be kept on hand for immediate use.”
Mrs. Samuel Gage, of North Bush, N
Y., says: “I had a fever sore on my
ankle for twelve years that the doctors
