Some of the working miners tell us
that John Walker and Wilson Hawn
are unusually friendly with them of
Jate. We wonder why, we wonder why.
It may be because a so-called “scab”
vote counts just as much as any other
on election day.
In renewing his subscription to Tur

Last week the Salisbury Star finish-
ed its tenth volume, and has entered

threats, intimidation, etc., on the part
of striking miners, THE Star still con-
tinues to shine, and is prospering 1n a |
financial way.—Meyersdale Republican.

Owing to the fact that THE STAR this
week contains the annual financial
statement of the county, and the ad-
ditional fact that the copy for same
was-not received until we were about
ready ro go to press, this edition is
very late in making its appearance.
However, such delays are unavoidable
at times, and we trust our large family
of readers will excuse us.
Mrs. Nancy Miller, a sister of Mr.
John J. Keim, died at Hampton, Neb,

and 12 days. The remains were in-

The season of the year is here when
a break in the cold weather is lixble to
usher in the maple sugar season at any
time. By reading C. R. Haselbarth &
Son’s advertisement, sugar makers will
know just where to get their supplies.
Persons on the lookout for big bargains
in vehicles and stoves will also do well
to take advantage of the offers made
in the adyertisement of the said firm.
Some time ago Stephe McKinley was
very anxious to effect a combination
with the leaders of the Republican and
Democratic parties for the purpose of
completely doing up “the durn Social-
ists and strikers.” Now he is riding ip
the very band wagon he recently de-
spised so much. But 1t must be re-
membered that “Horse Collar Stephe”
is a perpetual candidate and had to
find a place on some old ticket.
A sleighing party consisting of four
couples from Meyersdale took advant-
age of the fine sleighing, last Friday
night, and drove to Berlin. They
made the pool room their headquarters,
where they were royally, most royally
entertained until a wee sma’ hour in
the morning. In this crowd there was
a married man and some other man’s
wife. All of the parties have a noted
reputation.—Berlin Gleaner.
Look out for Coughs, Colds, Croup
and Whooping Cough. They are
dangerous at this season of the year.
They lead to pneumonia or consump-
tion. You can prevent or cure all such
complaints with Bee’s Laxative Honey
and Tar—an improvement over all
cough, lung and bronchial remedies
and the best Cough Syrup. 3-1

Probably the most enjoyable sleigh-
ing party of the season was gotten up
on Thursday night of last week, when
the Brethren Ladies’ Aid Society ar-
ranged for a fine supper at the cheer-
ful home of Mr. and Mrs. Phineas
Compton. Of one thing we are sure,
it was the finest supper we have par-
taken of in a long while, and no less
than about {fifty people were there.

Mr. Jacob Yost, a former well known
Somerset county farmer who now re-
sides in Greensburg, Pa, was a guest
at the Valley House, last week. Mr.
Yost worked at shoemnking in this
town, many years ago, for Casper
Loeche!. It was, therefore, like getting
back home to visit Salisbury and shake
hands with some of the old friends of
long ngo. While here Mr. Yost related
many amusing incidents. He has not
yet forgotten the experience he had
with a gun that was made for him dur-
ing his shoemaking days by Sam Mier,
reat a man as Krupp, the great Ger-
\ an gunmaker, ever was to Germany.
Mr. Yost’s new gun was a fine muzzle-
loading rifle, but one day when he at-
tempted to shoot a squirrel that he
saw on a wild cherry tree, he forgot to
remove the ramrod from the barrel of
his weapon after loading it. Well,
when he fired, the gun kicked like a
Missouri mule, and the way that ram-
rod mowed off the wild cherries was a
caution. It is supposed that the ram-
rod is still soaring upward, for no one
has ever been able to find it on this
earth. Mr. Yost had been out in Gar-
rett county, Md.. visiting his brother
Henry, and when on his return trip
stopped off long enough in Salisbury to
size up the town’s growth and shake
hands with some of the old friends.

CHAMBERLAIN’S COUGH REMEDY
THE MOTHER’S FAVORITE.
The soothing and healing properties
of this remedy, its pleasant taste and
prompt and permanent cures have
made it a favorite with people every-

affords quick relief, and as it contains
no opium or other harmful drug, it

Samuel Buekman Dead.
It is with much sorrow that we this
| week chronicle the death of our old
friend and patron. Mr. Samuel Buck- |
man, the veteran hotel man of Rock-
wood, who died on Friday morning of
last week, aged about 70 years. De- |
ceased is survived by his wife, one son |
and one daughter.
Mr. Buckman came to Rockwood |
from one of the eastern counties of |
Pennsylvania in the early Seventies.
He was the contractor for the grading
of that portion of the 8S. & C. railroad
that connects Rockwood and Somerset,
and which for some years was known
as the Somerset & Mineral Point rail-
way. Shortly thereafter he engaged
in contracting for the building of
county bridges, and later embarked in
the hotel business, which he followed
until death claimed him.
Mr. Buckman was a man of rather
rough exterior,and he always called a
spade a spade; but back of his rugged
and blunt ways there was a big, kind
heart and a most generous and chari-
table disposition.
Peace to his ashes.
