[Special to THE STAR.] : Somerset, Pa, Jan. 4—Mike Lenord, a Hungarian miner, was struck and in- stantly killed about eleven o'clock, Monday morning, by a motor car in the Berwind-White Coal Company's mine No. 32, at Windber. The un- fortunate man was making his way out of the drift, when in stepping aside to avoid one motor which he saw eoming toward him, he placed himself directly in front of another. The back of his skull was horribly crushed, but the body was not other- wise mutilated. The remnins were turned over to Undertaker Meek, of Wingdber, who prepared it for burial. The funeral took place Tuesday morn- ing from St. John’s Catholic church, at Windber. Lenord was thirty-five years old and is survived by a wife and family in Europe. World’s Fair Exhibit of Somerset Coal Company Donated to Government. The Somerset, Consolidated and Fairmont Coal companies donated the fine exhibit that they had at the World’s Fair to the United States Museum at Washington, D. C. The same will be removed in its entirety to that city and given a permanent place in the department of Mineral Technol- ogy in the National Museum. The gift includes the working models of the vagious mines, the transparencies, pho- tographs, in fact the exhibit complete. The government officials made a re- quest for the same, and agreed to give it a permanent place in the govern- ment’s display of this nature, and the officials of the eompany felt very much flattered, so much so, that they made the government a present of the whole. —Meyersdale Republiean. Prominent Somerset Man to Wed. [Special to THE STAR.] Somerset, Pa., Jan. 4—Mr. Jesse E. Lantz, of Mount Vernon, New York, has announced the engagement of his daughter, Miss Susan Coolidge, to Lieutenant Orlo 8. Knepper, U. 8S. N,, who is at present on the battleship “Prairie.” Lieutenant Knepper is a native of Somerset, a graduate of the Somerset High School, and was on board the battleship Concord, of Ad- miral Dewey’s fleet, during the battle of Manila. He is a son of the late Sheriff Oliver Knepper, of Somerset county. Don’t Be a Loafer. When Bob Burdette was a humorous writer he sent forth the following, which still applies te youths who can be found in almost any community: “My son, follow not in the footsteps of the loafer, and make no example of him who is born tired, for verily I say unto you your business is overstocked, the seats on the corner are all taken and the whittling places are all occu- pied. It is better to saw wood at two bits a cord than to whittle at a loafing match and cuss the government. My son, whilst thou hast left in thy skull the sente of a jaybird, break away from the cigarettee habit, for thy breath stinketh like a glue factory, and thy whole appearance is less intelligent than a stone dummy. Yea, thou art a eipher with the rim knoeked off.” The Ounce of Prevention. The Chicago & Northwestern Rail- way Company has sent out the follow- ing circular to all the officials of its system: “See that a minimum time is abso- lately afforded train and engine crews, as follows: “Men ten hours or less on duty, eight hours rest, minimum, “Men twelve hours or more on duty, twelve hours rest, minimum. “Men fourteen hours on duty, or more, twelve hours rest, minimum. “Keep before the train dispatcher such reeord of movement of erews as absolutely will prevent an engineman or trainman from going out on a run without the full allotted time for rest.” It wopld be a blessed thing for the companies, the trainmen and the pas- sengers if all railroads would do like- wise. If men are required to work be- yond the limit of human endurance it is plain that «ll tke blame for accidents should not rest on the employes, but on | the employers. Some of the railroad eorporations are “getting their eyes open to this truth. No man who is overworked can do good work. ————ein rere. Why Pienies Are So Called. Everybody knows what a pienic is, but most folks would find it hard to say how it got that name, and yet it is simple enough when you come to learn it. When a piecnie was being arranged for, the custom originally was that thowe “who intended to be present | should supply the eatables and drinka- bles. A list of those necessaries hav- ing been drawn up, it was passed around, and each person picked out the artieles of food or drink that he or shejwas willing to furnish, and the name of the articles was nicked, or ticked off the list. The open air enter- tainment thus became known ss a “pick and nick.” The custom is said to date from 1802, so that the pienic is wholly an institution of the nineteenth century. As stated, it must have strongly resembled what is now called a “surprise party.”—Ex. Marriage Lieenses. John Haws............... Hooversville Annie E. Barnhart........ Hooversville Samuel M.

The food builds up the body, the rest restores the stomach to health. You don’t have to diet your- self when taking Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. J. D. Erskine, of Allenville, Mich., says, “I suffered Heartburn and Stomach trouble for some time. My sister-in-law has had the same trouble and was not able to eat for six weeks. She lived entirely on warm water. After taking two bottles of Kodol Dys- pepsia Cure she was entirely cured. She now eats heartily and is in good health. I am glad to say Kodol gave me instant relief.” Sold by E. H. Mil- ler. 2-1 ae men REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. R.M. Gouchenour to Wellie J. Erhard in Windber, $1000. Sarah Snyder to R.M.

[Special to THE STAR.] Somerset, Pa., Dec. 31.—Miss Virginia Davis, the daughter of Joseph R. Davis, operator of the Berkey mines about a mile south of Somerset, died this morn- ing at the home of her parents at Lis- tie, from the effects of an unusually peculiar accident. Several weeks ago Miss Ella Mayes, of Listie, visited the Davis family, and while she was there asked the Davis girl if she ever saw stars. She asked her with frigndly intentions, of course. To the query Miss Davis replied, “no,” and then she quickly upeet the chair upon which.-she was sitting, saying: “Well, Ill show you some.” The girl fell heavily and uttered a shriek of pain, and her eondition be- came so serious that her parents were alarmed and called Dr. 8. J. H. Louther. He treated her, but she finally died of inflammation of the spinal cord. CHAMBERLAIN’S COUGH REMEDY THE BEST MADE, “In my opinion Chemberiain’s Cough Remedy is the best made for colds,” says Mrs. Cora Walker, of Porterville, Californis. There is no doubt about its being the best. No other will cure a cold so quickly. No other is so sure a preventive of pneumonia. No other ia so pleasant and safe to take. These sre good reasons why it should be pre- ferred to gny other. The faet is that few people are satisfied with any other after having once used this ramedy. For sale by E. H.

Mrs. F. O. Livengood, another valued friend and subscriber in Somerset, also sends us her best wishes along with some cash to renew her subscription. Among other things she says: “We cannot get along without THE Star. Weare all enjoying reasonably good health. We join in wishing you and family the happiest of New Years, and may the Giver of all good gifts shower his. choicest blessings upon you and your family.” We are very grateful for the kind expressions of our Somerset friends, and we wish them the same blessings and prosperity that they wish to us. il pa CURED HIS MOTHER OF RHEUMATISM. “My mother has been a sufferer for many years from rheumatism,” says W. H. Howard, of Husband, Pennsylvania. “At times she was unable to move at all, while at all times walking was pain- ful. I presented her with a bottle of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm, and after a few applications she decided it was the most wonderful pain reliever she had ever tried, in faet, she is never without it now and is at all times able to walk. An occasional application of Pain Balm’ keeps away the pain that she was formerly troubled with.” For sale by E. H. Miller. 2-1 submitted His Yearly Report. Capt. W. M. Behroek, Engineer and Superintendent of Construction and * Repairs of County Bridges, has just submitted his report for the year 1904 to the Somerset county commissioners. The amount expended during the year for new bridges is $6,537.79, and bridge repairs $2.950, making a tetal of $9,487.- 79. There were four new bridges eon- tracted for, built and fully paid for during the year—over Quemahoning Creek in Lincoln township, over Shaf- fer’s Run in Fairhope township, over Laurel Hill Creek in Jefferson town- ship, and over Braddock’s Run in Ad- dison township. This report shows that the county made a elean saving of about $20,000 over the amount expended for bridges the year previous. TONIC TO THE SYSTEM. For liver troubles and cdnstipation there is nothing better than DeWitt’s Little Early Risers, the famous little Pills. They do not weaken the stomach. Their action upon the system is mild. pleasant and harmless. Bob Moore, of LaFayette, Ind., says. “No use talkitg, DeWitt’s Little Early Risers do their work. All other pills I have used gripe and make me sick in the stomach and never cure me. DeWitt’s Little Early Risers proved to be the long sought re« lief. They are simply perfect.” Per, sons traveling find Little Early Risers the most reliable remedy to carry with them. Sold by E. H.

The men in charge of the truck were un- loading a ¢arload of beer from the sid- ing, and at the time of the collision all the men were in the box car, and all escaped unhurt. The debris from the wreck was scattered along the track a distance of more than 1000 feet. SAVED FROM TERRIBLE DEATH The family of Mrs. M. L. Bobbitt, of Bargerton, Tenn., saw her dying and were powerless to save her. The most skillful physicians and every remedy used, failed, while consumption was slowly but surely taking her life. In this terrihle hour Dr. King’s New Dis- covery for Consumption turned de- spair into joy. The first bottle brought immediate relief, and its continued use completely cured her. It’s the most certain eure in the world for all throat and lung troubles. Guaranteed bot- tles 50c and $1.00. Trial Bottles Free at E. H. Miller's Drug Store. 2-1 Noisy Dogs and Noisy Pqople. Noisy dogs invariably belong to noisy people. Noisy people will, of course, deny this, but listen to them some day when they scold sa dog for barking. Whose voice is loudest? Whose flere- est? Whose harshest? I have heard people disciplining dogs for growling, and I have been mueh more frightened of the people than of the dogs. When from a front door I can hear a dog in- side a house begin to howl and bark the moment that the bell is sounded, I know very well that he has caught the triesk from some one in the house.~ Lillie Hamilton French, in The Deline« ator. pale
