B., Will Send His Book and $2.50 Worth of His Personal Treatment Free to any Reader. There never was a better opportunity for persons suffering from diseases of the heart, nerves, liver, stomach and kidneys to test, free, a remarkably suc- cessful Treatment for these disorders. Dr. Miles is. known to be a leading spec- jalist in these diseases and his liberal offer is certainly worthy of serious con- sideration by every afflicted reader. This opportunity may never occur again His system of Personal Treatment is thoroughly scientific and immensely superior to other methods. It includes several new remedies carefully selected to suit each individual case and is the final result of twenty-five years of very extensive research and great success in treating these diseases. Each treatment consists of a curative elixir, tonic tablets, eliminating pills and usually a plaster. Extensive sta- tistics clearly demonstrate that Dr. Miles Personal Treatment is at least three times as successfull as the usual treatment of physicians or general rem- edies sold at the stores. Col. E. B. Spileman of the 9th United States Regulars, located at San Diego, Cal, says, “Dr. Miles’ Special Treatment has worked wonders in my son’s case when all else failed. 1 had employed the best medi- cal talent and had spent $2,000 in doing so. I believe he isa wonderful specialist. Icon- sider it my duty to recommend him.” “For Jonrs 1 had severe trouble with my stomach, head, neuralgia, sinking spells and dropsy. Your treatment entirely cured me.” Mr. Julius Keister, of 350 Michigan Ave- nue, Chicago, testifies that Dr. Miles cured him after ten able physicians had failed. Mrs. R. Trimmer of Greenspring, Pa., was cured after many physicians had pronounc- ed her case “hopeless.” As all afflicted readers may have his Book and $2.50 worth of Treatment especially adapted to their case free, we would advise them to send for it before it is too late.

Tue newspaper reaches every body. It is the one agency which touches all the people all the time. The scholar cannot get along without it, the day laborer has it for his sole intellectual food.

Tue rioting and bloodshed in St. Petersburg, Russia, which took place last Sunday, when the eczar’s troops shot and sabered thousands of defense- less and innocent men, women and children, is one of the blackest crimes in the world’s history. The authorities were clearly in the wrong, and we be- lieve their murderous blunder will in the near future put an end to the war with Japan, and bring about a complete overthrow of the Russian monarchy, the most hated despotism in the world. The ruthless massacre of the down- trodden laborers of that tottering em- pire, while revolting in the extreme. we believe will swiftly bring a better condition for the masses and swift and awful vengeance upon the tyrants now ruling over tham. If that is the final outcome, as it must be in time, the blood of innocent men, women and children has not been shed in vain. See our inside pages for a full account of the massacre. Dox’t be afraid of a little fun at home, good people. Dor’t shut up the house lest the sun should fade the carpet, and your heart lest a laugh should shake down some of the musty cobwebs there. It has been said of parents: “If you want to ruin your boys, let them think that all mirth and social enjoyment must be left on the threshold when they come home. When once home is regarded as only a place to eat, drink and sleep, the work is begun that ends in gambling houses and degradation. Young people must have fun and relaxation scmewhere. If they don’t get it in one place they will get it in another. If they don’t find it at their own hearthstones, it will be sought in other places.” There- fore let the fire burn brightly at home, ever delightful with all the little arts that parents so well understand. Don’t repress the buoyant spirit of merriment around the lamp and fireside of home that blots out the remembrance of many a care and annoyance during the day. The best safeguard young men and women can take with them iato the world is the nnseen influence of a bright domestic sanctum.—Lanark (Ill.) Gazette. Tre union miners have lately been making a gigantic effort to keep work- ing miners away from the mines. In this they have several objects in view. They know that the strike has been lost to the union long, long ago, and they also know that many of the strik- ers will have a hard time in getting back into the mines of this region, un- der any circumstances, and especially as long as the mines are filled with other men. Furthermore, it is pretty generally believed that the National board will soon cut the strikers’ relief off in this region, and as a result there are many of the strikers on the lookout for their old places, and they are eager to be re-enstated upon almost any terms. But they know that there is no any old thing to get back. We do not pretend to say that this is what all of the strikers are after, but we know that it is what a good many of them are after. The proof lies in the fact that many of these great would-be labor leaders and agitators have put in ap- plications for work at various times during the strike, but were told that their services could not be used, as the mines were pretty well filled. There- fore, to get a lot of men to quit work is the only hope that many of the strikers have of ever getting their old jobs back. With that end in view they have been trying to bribe and buy men to quit work, agreeing to pay them a bo- nus to lay down their tools, also offer- ing to buy them railroad tickets to other fields of labor, ete, ete. And the poor old victimized, defrauded union is drawn upon for the funds whenever a “sucker” can be induced to bite. Some few have bitten, and in every case that bas yet been reported to Tne Star, the “sucker” was cheated and failed to get the much coveted bonus. But what else could they expect from bribers? and in what respect is a briber better than a thief? The bribers defraud their union and their victims, which makes them criminals, and some of them should be arrested and punished for conspiracy with intent to cripple business and defraud working men. That is what some of the strikers’ tac- ties amount to, and such capers will avail them nothing. We have a letter in our possession now from a poor fel- low who was sent back to his home in another state, by the union. He was to receive $55 for himself and $25 for his son as a bonus to quit work. This was to be paid at Meyersdale before the father and son departed for home, but it hasn’t been paid yet, and it never will be paid. All they received was two railroad tickets that took them to a junctional point about half way to their home. They were told that another “good union man” would meet them at the junctional point and furnish transportation for the remain- der of the journey. but the “good union man” failed to be on hand. The vie- timized men were also promised that the bonus or bribe they were to re- ceive for quitting would be promptly forwarded to their home address. But is has been another case of ‘‘the letter that never came.” There can be noth- ing gained by bribery. deception and fraud. and such tactics only weaken the miners’ union. Such rascality keeps honest men out of it, and it disgusts and drives honest men out that have joined. But it isn’t much wonder that some of the strikers are driven to des- peration and are ready to resort to any kind of means to create vacancies in the hope of filling them themselves. They are beginning to find out that men in other regions who are working and making from one-fourth to one- half as much as miners make in this region at 55 cents per ton, are becom- ing very tired of sending a portion of their earnings into this region to sup- port a useless and senseless strike. They are beginning to mutiny in other regions, for they are getting tired of being “bled” to bolster up a lost cause, to keep men from going to work where they can make several times as much money as the contributors ever made. Even our strikers do not blame the men in other regions for kicking against sending more support to the idle men in this region, for some of them occasionally go away and find work among the contributing regions, and they soon get a bellyful of it and return, fully conscious that the men working here are making more money. and’ making it easier, than the men at work in other regions that are con- tributing to our big “busted” strike. Therefore. we say it is no wonder that a lot of strikers in this region are re- sorting to fraud and bribery to induce men to give up the places the bribers and conspirators are anxious to fill at the same rate per ton. They are des- perate now, and it’s any old thing to get back ; but the wise man who now has a good job in the mines will not bite at their false inducements. ae WONDERFUL NERVE. Is displayed by many a man endur- ing pains of accidental Cuts, Wounds, Elk Liek Township Caucuses. The Republicans, Democrats and Socialists all held eaucuses in Elk Lick township, last Saturday afternoon, for the purpose of nominating candidates to be voted for at the coming February elections. The Republicans and Dem- ocrats nominated practically the same ticket, and following are the names of the candidates thus nominated. and which will appear in both tke Repub- lican and Democratic groups on the of- ficial ballot : For Judge of Vogel, Rep. For Inspectors, Clarence Miller. Rep., and P. Compton, Dem. For School Directors, M. E. Hersh- berger, Rep., and John H. Bender, Dem. For Road Supervisors, J. J. Thomas, Rep., Wm. Folk, Rep., and Richard Glotfelty, Dem. For Auditor, Wm. D. Miller, Rep. For Constable, H. J. Christner, Dem. For Township Clerk, J. 8. Stevanus, Rep. The combination ticket is a very good one, and it ought to be given the loyal and vigorous support of every good citizen of old Elk Lick. No one on the outside seems to know the entire ticket nominated by the Socialists, and no'one outside of that aggregation of malcontents cares very much to know who their candidates are. The Socialists have shown their ignorance and utter incapacity by try- ing to keep their nominations a secret from outsiders. By such a course they show that they prefer to do business in the dark, like thieves in the night, which is frowned upon by honest, manly men in general. Any party that fears publicity is rotten from center to circumference, from stem to gudgeon, and is dominated by a set of jackasses that have much to learn, but are not capable of learning even a little bit. There are a good many ignoramuses and all-around fools in old Elk Lick just at this time. and all of them will work hard for the election of the So- cialist ticket on Feb. 21st. However, the Republicans and Democrats hold the winning hand, and all they have to do is to play their trump cards. In other words, the sensible, solid, sub- stantial citizens of Elk Lick township far outnumber the “lomixes,” “mush- heads” and loafers, and of the trifling element the Socialist party is principal- ly made up everywhere. Comparative- ly few good citizens are found in the Socialist party in this locality, and all the Republicans and Democrats have to do is to get their voters to the polls and squash the very stuffing out of their opposition. “Up, guards, and at them!” Never mind who the Socialist candi- dates are, as you will know all about that on election day. The duty of all good citizens is to defeat the Socialist gang, and it will be done, too, unless there are more fools in old Elk Lick than we know of. Election, John P, DOMESTIC TROUBLES.

Owing to the prevalence of diphtheria in the neighborhood, the Lowry school, a short distance east of Salisbury, was closed by order of the Elk Lick school board, Monday last. One of the pupils, George Bowser, a ten-year-old son of Samuel Bowser, died of the dreaded malady, last Sunday, after a very brief illness. The boy had been in school on Friday, but complained of being sick. and was sent home. A three-year-old child of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hoffman, residing in the same neighborhood, also died of the same disease at about the same time. Some time ago several members of 4 Mrs. Jerome Newman's family con- tracted the disease, and it may be that the contagion spread from there.
