32.00 SENT FREE,
The Well-Known Specialist, Frank-
lin Miles, M. D., LL. 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 suec-
cessful Treatment for these disorders.
Dr. Miles is known to be a leading spec-
ialist 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, toni¢ 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.
ol. E. B. Spileman of the 9th United
States Regulars, located at San Diego, Cal.,
says, “Dr. iles’ 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
years I had severe trouble with my stomach,
head, neuralgia, sinking spells and dropsy.
Your treatment entirely cured me.”
Mr. Julius Keister, of 850 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. Address, Dk. FRANKLIN

the Berlin Union—A Worthy
Example for Other Unions.
While at Berlin the other day a
Standard representative was informed
that the Berlin branch of the United
Mine Workers of America recently rid
itself of a lot of hangers-on. When the
labor trouble came on in this district a
lot of fellows who never worked them-
selves to the point of death at digging
coal threatened to go in the mines un-
less admitted to the union. They were
then taken into the union and drew
the weekly benefits, something they
were morally not entitled to. Finally
the union became wise and dismissed
about twenty of them from the union
ranks.
THE poor old Somerset Herald can’t
get any satisfaction out of the late Re-
| publican primary in that borough, but
it is a consolation to know that the
galled jade can still amuse the dear
people by its mad wailing, weeping and
gnashing of teeth anent the corner
stone of the new court house.
Gov. Fork, of Missouri, has issued
orders for the professional lobbyists to
get out of the state capital within 380
hours. This is a wholesome warning.
Other governors should do the same
thing. The people elect representa-
tives to attend to their business, and
have no use for professional lobbyists.
Only a “square deal” is wanted. —
Uniontown News Standard.
WE gave the old Scull gang due no-
tice nearly a year ago that its perpet-
ual candidate, Harvey M. Berkley,
could never run again without a good
dose of spirits of turpentine, properly
applied, to put life into the old stiff
and cause him to get a move on. The
primary at Somerset, last Saturday,
proves that we were right. It requires
more than old tin cans tied to his coat
tail to make Haryey M. run, especially
old cans out of the Scull alley, which
are now so rusty as to keep them from
THis week a gang of “Hunkies” from
the lumber regions of Garrett county,
Md.. arrived in town. They were on
their way to other lumber regions, but
had been given a valuable “tip” before
arriving in Salisbury, and when they
landed here they pretended to be coal
miners about to go to work in the
mines of this region. The few big
union muckey-mucks who are on the
lookout constantly for any new miners
that may arrive, promptly swallowed
the clever bait, hook, sinkers and all,
and in a very short time the clever
“Hunkies” were supplied with free
transportation and hauled to the depot
in Meyersdale in comfortable convey-
ances. The “Hunkies” laughed up
their sleeves at the expense of the
poor, old, tottering miners’ organiza-
tion, which has paid out hundreds of
dollars to keep men out of the mines
who never had the remotest idea of
going in. The poor, old, mismanaged
union is being “worked” hard from the
outside as well as the inside. The
union is a snap for the bum and the
loafer, also for the smooth guy and the
man unable to do a day’s work ; but for
the man who is an energetic, self-re-
liant, hustling, American, it is a hum-
bug, a disappointment, a delusion and
a snare.
Some notable and sensible things
were done at the last national conven-
tion of the United Mine Workers of
America. Among other things a rul-
ing was made that no saloon-keeper or
any one engaged in the sale of intoxi-
cating liquor could become a member
of the organization. President Jokn
Mitchell also sat down very hard on
the socialistic sentiment that is grow-
ing in the organization. He sees that
booze and the fool Socialist element
are going to play havoc with the
miners’ organization, but the conven-
tion did not go far enough. It should
have made a ruling that no organizer
or officer could hold his office and be a
worthless boozer at the same time.
Such a ruling would soon put such
trash as McCullough, Morgan and
Zelink out of a “soft snap,” but it
would be highly beneficial to the order
and the many poor miners that have
been led to financial ruin by unprin-
cipled officers and organizers. If the
United Mine Workers could succeed in
getting the fool Socialist notions out of
a large number of its members, and
keeping booze out of the same, espec-
ially out of its leaders, the organiza-
tion would soon have more power and
influence than most of its members
ever dreamed of. Socialism and booze
are the greatest enemies of the work-
ing classes. Show us a man who is
continually harping on socialism, or
one who is daily found about the sa-
loons guzzling liquor and belly-aching
about our present social system and
laws, and we will show you a man that
never did, nor neve will, amount to a
hill of beans. Unionism is all right if
conducted on sane principles, but isn’t
it a fact that most laboring men who
acquire a competency or a good bank
account, are, as a rule, men who “pad-
dle their own canoes” and rely on
themselves instead of a union? You
need not go any further than Salisbury
to find numerous examples to sustain
our assertion.

BOROUGH NOMINATIONS.
Republican Candidates to go Up
Against an Aggregation of So-
cialists, Demoerats and Re-
publiean Soreheads.
The borough nominations for the
municipal election to be held on Feb.
21st have been made. There are two
tickets in the field—a Republican ticket
and a so-called, but erroneously named
Citizens’ ticket.
The Republicans met in Hay’s opera
house, last Saturday evening, and made
the following excellent nominations:
Judge of Election, W. H. Boucher;
Inspector, John Martin; Auditors,
W. B. Stevanus and Albert Petry ;
Constable and High Constable, M.
D. Thomas; School Directors, Stew-
art Smith and Richard Newman;
Town Council, A. C. Maust, Noah
Speicher and Nevin Newman; Street
Commissioner, P. J. Livengood.
With credit to the Republicans in
caucus assembled, it must be said that
they did not inject the strike question
into their nominations. Their nomi-
nees are all good, clean, representative
citizens and Republicans taken from
the ranks of the people who are neither
strikers nor strike-breakers. Each and
all of them will make good, conscien-
tious and efficient officers if elected.
It has been charged that M. D.
Thomas is not a Republican, but the
charge is false, as Mr. Thomas has been
voting the Republican ticket for the
last three years. A great many Dem-
ocrats have changed their politics dur-
ing the past few years, for conscientious
reasons, and Mr. Thomas is one of them.
On Tuesday evening of this week a
so-called Citizens’ caucus was held in
Hay’s opers house. It was an aggre-
gation principally of Socialists and
disgruntled Republicans and Demo-
crats. Only a very few substantial
citizens were there, and for the most
part the audience was made up of mal-
contents, strikers and Socialists. A
few good men were nominated, but
the strike issue in all its bitterness
was injected into the caucus, as will be
readily seen by some of the nomina-
tions made, of which the following is a
ist. ’
Judge of Election, Harvey Fogle, Re-
publican ; Inspector, Perry Wabl, strik-
er and Democrat-Socialist ; Auditor, M.
R. Hay, Democrat; School Directors,
C. T. Hay, Democrat, and 8S. R. Me-
Kinley, sorehead Republican; Town
Council, W. D. Thompson, Democrat:
W. W. Hawn, striker and Socialist, and
Chas. H. Beal, sorehead Republican;
Street Commissioner, Norman New-
man, sorehead Republican; Constable,
John J. Walker, striker. Citizens’ Union
man and sorehead Republican.
Now you have the whole thing, fel-
low citizens. The next is the election,
when every man can go and vote his
sentiments. It will be a warm contest,
but it should be a good-natured one.
There isn’t any use or sense in quar-
reling over differences of opinion in
politics, or anything else.

A WARM PRIMARY,
Bolters Get a, Thorough Trouncing
at Hands of Somerset Repub-
licans.
Last Saturday the Republicans of
Somerset borough made their nomins-
tions for borough offices. The nomi
nations were made by the primary
election method. There was no com-
test between the Scull and anti-Scell
factions for any of the offices, except
for School Directors and Town Cauneil.
It will be remembered that last year
there was a deadlock in the Somerset
«school board, one-half of the members
being well known Scull benchmen who
insisted that O. 0. Saylor, another
well known Scull henchman, should
bave the principalship. The other
three members were anti-Scull, and
they insisted that politics should be
kept out of school matters, and for that
reason they voted for an applicant
from another county.
The deadlock continued until the
time arrived for the court to remove
the entire board and appoint a new
board to serve until their SUCCEessSors
could be elected at the next municipal
election, as is provided by law. The
court appointed the following well
known gentlemen: Jonas M. Cook,
Norman E. Knepper, L. C. Colborn,
James B. Holderbaum, Frank BR.
Granger and Rev. J. W. Wilson.
The new board promptly complied
with the law and elected a full set of
competent teachers, who are doing
good work and giving general satisfac-
tion. All of them were announced as
candidates for re-election at last Sat-
urday’s Republican borough primary,
and it was generally supposed that
they would have no opposition.
Well, they didn’t have much oppo-
sition, either ; but poor old Harvey M.
Berkley, Ed. Hoover, A. H. Huston and
John 8. Shafer were resurrected from
the Scull scrap pile of political junk te
put up all the opposition that was im
the wood. Berkley, Hoover and Hus-
ton were the three Scull henchmen
that were deposed when the whole
board was removed from office by the
court, and, of course, they were run-
ning for vindication. They got it where
the chicken got the ax, as the follow-
ing figures will show: Jonas M. Cook,
361; N. E. Knepper, 316; 1. C. Colborn,
364; J. B. Holderbaum, 404: F. B.
Granger, 332; J. W. Wilson, 2873
Harvey M. Berkley, 111; A. H. Huston,
111; Ed. Hoover, 1383; John S. Shafer.
148.
Thus it will be seen that Berkley,
Hoover, Huston and Shafer got vindi-
cation with a vengeance. They are
very dry bones in the Scull graveyard,
and they can’t run fast enough to keep
up with a hearse.
Our Somerset friends also had a very
pretty fight on Town Council. Fol-
lowing is the vote: E. E. Pritts, 288-
D. W. Weller, 268; N. B. McGriff, 203;
Alex. Markle, 122; S. P. Sweitzer, 25;
E. H. Werner, 142; Josiah Swank, 150.
Pritts, Weller and McGriff are the
three anti-Scull candidates. The other
fellows are only “Dennis.”
The balance of the Somerset borough
Republican ticket is as follows: Judge
of Eleetion, H. F. Barron ;} Inspector,
Geo. M. Neff ; Constable, Wm. Gilbert;
High Constable, 8. P. Snyder; Street
Commissioner, Samuel Shoemaker;
Auditor, G. B. Hough. With the ex-
ception of School Directors and Towm
Council, all the candidates were nomi-
nated without opposition.
We are under obligations to Joseph
R. Joy, Somerset’s efficient and popu-
lar Chief of Police, for the foregoing
returns.
ORGANIZER ZELINK IN JAIL.
The Kind of Criminals Employed by
the U. M. W. of A. to Organize
and Direct Coal Miners.
James Zelink, the Hungarian Organ-
izer and interpreter for the United
Mine Workers of America, who was
stationed here all last winter, and whe
upon the least provocation did not hes-
itate to insult his betters, was arrested
at Boswell on Monday afternoon by
Sheriff Coleman, upon request of Con-
nellsville officers who wanted him on a
charge of defrauding boarding-house
keepers, and for passing worthless
checks. After his arrest he gave Land-
lord Kean, of Boswell, a check upom
one of our local banks for his board
bill at that place. when he did not have
any money here. An officer from Con-
nellsville came to Somerset on Tues
day, and took Zelink back with him,
placing him in irons for safe keeping
enroute.—Meyersdale Republican.
