Low Package Rate Urged for Rural
Post.
Postmaster General Wynne, in his
annual report, urges important legi-la-
tion by Congress affecting the rural
free delivery system. He refers to a
growing demand among the patrons of
the service for the delivery of small
packages of merchandise, such as gro-
ceries, dry goods, tobacco and drugs,
for which the present rate of postage,
1 cent per ounce, is virtually prohibi-
tive.
It is recommended that a rate of 3
cents per pound for packages of this
kini, not exceeding five pounds, be
fixed.
Other recommendations of the Post-
master General are these:
“That third and fourth class mail
matter be consolidated at the rate of
postage now paid on third-class mail
matter—1 cent for each two ounces.
“That the interstate commerce law
be amended to prohibit telegraph and
express companies from aiding and
abetting in the green goods, lottery or
other swindles.
“That the office of the Assistant At-
torney General for the Post Office De-
partment be made Presidential, and
the salary attached thereto increased
to $5000 per annum.
“That Congress eonsider the proprie-
ty of granting an annuity to railway
post office clerks who are permanently
disabled in the line of duty.”

PRINCE WILLIAM ACADEMY.
A Liteary Entertainment—Unique
Plan by Whieh the School’s Li-
brary was Enlarged.
Contributed.
It may be of interest to some of the
readers of Tue Star to learn of the
plans of the .faculty and students of
Prince William Academy, at Brents-
ville, Va., to enlarge their library and
lift it to a more important place in the
life and usefulness of the Academy.
Invitations were sent out to all the
patrons and friends of the institution,
and also to prominent educators of
the state, requesting that they be pres-
ent on the evening of Dec. 8d, at the
Nicol Literary Hall, at an entertain-
ment given by the faculty and students
of the school, They were requested to
kindly bring with them a volume to be
presented to the library.
The entertainment was a complete
success. The verdict was that it was
the best ever given in Brentsville, by
the Academy. The reception was for
the upbuilding of the library, and now
we are glad to announce that on that
occasion at least 150 volumes were ad-
ded to its shelves, as well as many
hearts enlisted in its earnest support.
The school and faculty donated very
liberally, the faculty presenting 30
volumes. The books were, generally, of
a very high grade. Most of the friends
who came brought books with them,
and friends from a distance represent-
ed their interest in the school by send-
ing a volume to the library.
The evening was a very disagreeable
one, but still the house was nearly full
of very appreciative people, which was
very gratifying to the performers.
The literary factors of the evening
were especially good and entertaining.
The address by Mr. Truman 8S. Vance
was very edifying and encoursging to
friends of education. The entire pro-
gram was under the general supervis-
ion of Prof. Layman, principal of the
Academy. The stage arangement was
in charge of J. D. Miller and G. E. Yo-
der, of the faculty.
The following program was render-
ed:

NO MORE SUFFERING.
If you areltroubled with indigestion
get a bottle off Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
and see how quickly it will cure you.
Geo. A. Thomson, of Spencer, Ia., says:
“Have had Dyspepsia for twenty years.
My case was almost hopeless. Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure was recommended and
I used a few bottles of it and it is the
only thing that has relieved me. Would
not be without it. Have doctored with
local physicians and also at Chicago,
and even went to Norway with hopes of
getting some relief, but Kodol Dyspep-
sia Cure is the only remedy that has
done me any good, and 1 heartily rec-
ommend it. Every person suTering
with Indigestion or Dysgepsia should
use it.” Sold by E.JH. Miller. 1-1

to
My God,
Man Values Sheep Dog at $200—A
Lawsuit that Will be Watched
With Interest.
[Special to THE STAR.]
SoMERSET, Pa., Dee. 21st.—Wilson H.
Trent, one of the best known dog fanci-
ers in Western Pennsylvania, will
bring & damage action agaist White-
law Sechler, for alleged shooting of a
dog, Saturday morning. Trent had
started on a hunting trip, and when at
Sechler’s farm, his dog began chasing
some of the latter’s sheep. Trent says
he saw Sechler raise his gun and warn-
ed him not to shoot, promising that he
would pay for any damage that the dog
might do. Sechler paid no heed and is
said to have killed the animal, which
was valued at $200. The suit will be
brought for the value of the dog.

The Piney Run Oil And Gas Com-
pany Putting Down Another
Hole.
The Piney Run Oil and Gas Company
etarted its second well, last Saturday,
in the meadows on the Sturtz farm,
about six miles northwest of Finzell.
Mr. Ira Logan, of Rochester, Pa., has
the contraet, and Lawrence McCandlus,
James Morrow, William Schell and
Frank Graham are the drillers and
tool dressers. At this writing, the well
is down to the depth of 325 feet, with
fine prospects of success.
In the well which was abandoned by
the company on account of the driller
losing the tools in the well, and not be-
ing able toget them out, the drill pen-
etrated five fine oil sands at different
depths, the well having reached the
depth of 1600 feet when it was aban-
doned. According to the testimony of
expert oil men, whenever the sands are
encountéred in sinking a test well, that
is a sure indication of oil being found
somewhere within the territory, though
not always found in the first well.
Capt. James D. West, the noted sci-
entist and geologist of the South, re-
cently virited this territory and pro-
nounced it fine oil territory. A Bra-
zilian government geologist recently
visited this territory and gave the same
testimony as Capt. West. The U. 8.
Government Geological Survey is get-
ting samples from the well for the pur-
pose of study and comparison, it being
the first attempt to thoroughly test the
country, and the result is being anx-
iously awaited. The company expects
to finish the well within the next
month.
GRIP QUICKLY KNOCKED OUT.
“Some weeks ago during the severe
winter weather both my wife and my-
self tontracted severe colds which
speedily developed into the worst kind
of la grippe with all its miserable symp-
toms,” says Mr. J. S. Egleston of Maple
Landing, Iowa. “Knees and joints
aching, muscles sore, head stopped up,
eyes and nose running, with alternate
spells of chills and fever. We began
using Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy,
aiding the same with a dose of Cham-
berlain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets,
and by its liberal use soon completely
knocked cut the grip.” These Tablets
promote a healthy action of the bowels,
liver and kidneys which is always ben-
eflcial when the system is congested by
a cold or attack of the grip. For sale

Have We Gas Here?
A flow of gas which was issuing from
a drilled well was ignited last Sunday
morning while workmen were thawing
out a pump at the Glen Norris mining
property of the Somerset Coal Com-
pany. The pump is used to draw water
from a 97-foot well to supply a battery
of boilers, and on Saturday night be-
came frozen up. A fire was made near
the pump on Sunday morning, and
while the men were attempting to get
the pump to work, they were much
surprised to see a sheet of flame shoot
fifteen feet into the air, and then after-
ward burn about two feet high about
the casing of the well. The gas was
left burn until Monday morning, when
the flame was smothered on account of
endangering several buildings which
stand near by.
The well from which the gas came
was drilled about eighteen months ago
to furnish water for the plant. The gas
burned with a steady pressure, and it
is thought that if the well was drilled
deeper a stronger flow would be struck.

A CERTAIN CURE FOR CROUP.
When a child shows symptoms of
croup there is no time to experiment
with new remedies, no matter how
highly they may be recommended.
There is one preparation that can al-
ways be depended vpon. It has been
in use for many years and has never
been known to fail, viz: Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy. Mr. M. F. Compton,
of Market, Texas, says of it, “I have
used Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy in
gevere cases of eroup with my children.
and can truthfully say it always gives
prompt relief” For sale by E. H.

To Keep Apples.
Austin Hay, of Ohio, says that last
winter he scooped out a hole in the
ground, partly filled it with leaves,
dumped in several bushels of choice ap-
ples, and then covered the pile witha
thin layer of leaves. As the weather
grew colder, he added more leaves, but
at notime had more than five or six
inches over the fruit. Any time dure
ing the severe winter he could go out,
scrape away the leaves and get fresh,
crisp apples. They were perfectly pre-
served. The leaves are a non-conduc-
tor and a natural preservative for the
fruit. Farmers who have apples should
try this plan.
Barrels are becoming searce, and
each year they are harder to get.
Many farmers and growers of vegeta-
bles and fruit are now using boxes in
place of barrels, and why not? A box
can be made to hold one or two bush-
els, with hand holes in the ends, and
they can be lifted and carried easier
than barrels, and they will last longer.
During the winter season. is a good
time for the farmers to prepare a
number of these boxes.
