Foreigner Meets Horrible Death in
Windber Mine.
[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.

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.

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.

NO MORE STOMACH TROUBLES.
All stomach trouble is removed by
the use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. It
gives the stomach perfect rest by di-
gesting what you eat without the
stomach’s aid. 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-

Thoughtless Joke Ends Young
Woman's Life.
[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.

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

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. Miller. 2-1
A Loeomotive With Prohibition
Tendeneles. ,
[Special to THE STAR.}
Somerset, Pa., Jan. 4th.—A large
platform truck loaded with thirty-two
cases of Windber beer, standing on the
main track at the Somerset railroad
station, was struek by an incoming
Baltimore and Ohio locomotive, last
night, wrecking the truck beyond “the
possibility of repair and doing irrepar-
able damage to the metallie beer cases
and their effervescent contents. 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-

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.~
