LADDER COMPANY,
SERIOUS HEART DIS-
EASE IS CURABLE.
The Eminent Specialist, Dr. Franklin Miles,
Succeeds After 5 to 30 Physicians Fail.
$2.50 WORTH OF TREATMENT FREE.
Heart diseases which a few years
ago were incurable now readily yield
to treatment. Short breath, pain in
the side, oppression in the chesr, palpi-
tation, smothering spells, weak or ir-
regular pulse, puffing of the ankles or
dropsy, whether complicated with
stomach, liver and nervous troubles or
not, can be speedily relieved and soon
cured. Dr. Miles will give a $2.50
course of treatment free, to prove the
truth of hisstatement. His treatments
have the great advantage of being
specially prepared to suit each patient.
These Treatments are the result of 25
years of close study, careful research
and extraordinary success. They are
far in advance of the medicines used by
the ordinary doctor and few show such
faith in their remedies. Every sufferer
should take advantage of this opportu-
nity before it is too late.
Hon. John Gates, Ex-Representative of
Iowa, after 10 years of suffering from heart,
stomach, and bladder troubles, says: “y
lose no opportunity to advocate Dr. Miles’
Special Treatment. Iam better now than
for ten years, which I attribute solely to his
skillful treatment.”
Mrs. Mary A. Bradeen, of Rapids, Me,
writes: “I consider your heart treatment
worth its weight in gold to me. You have
saved my life after others failed.”
Philip Metz, of Jackson Center, O., re-
ports: “I had heart trouble for 15 years and
was very near death’s door when I com-
menced your Special Treatment. 1 now
feel well and work every day.”
Mrs. August Kronck,of Huntington, Ind.

Tak man who could edit a paper to
please everyone, went to heaven an long
while ago, but: hell still yawns for
the numerous individuals who think
they could do it, says an exchange.
Darius MILLER, acting general mana-
ger of the Burlington railroad, is re-
ported to have recently made this
statement in regard to the retaining of
old employes: “An experienced rail-
roader of forty years of age is worth
more to us than a dozen bright boys of
twenty-one who have the business to
learn. The Burlington road sets no
age limit, and, while giving its em-
ployes every chance to work up in the
service, will not hesitate to hire a man
of mature years when the situation de-
mands it.” Miller's head is level.
Wx see Corner Stone flour advertised
in the Somerset newspapers. Now we
know just what ails *“Timmie” and
“Bobbie” Scull. They have been eating
bread made of Corner Stone flour,
hence their much chirping about the
corner stone of the new court house.
When they used to live on official pie,
they smiled sweetly and said nothing,
but just kept winking the other eye
and counting their coin. Their stom-
achs can’t stand plain food like bread
made of Corner Stone flour. It gives
them the nightmare, even in broad
daylight.
ANY man who will move an old, de-
lapidated shack from an obscure place
into the business heart of a nice town
like Salisbury, stick it in between to
handsome new buildings, where it is
an eye-éore, a disgrace and a reproach
upon the community, and there main-
tain a dingy, dirty, loathsome dog-
kennel sort of a joint, as Stephen Me-
Kinley has done and is still doing, is
not fit to live in a civilized community,
much less to hold public office therein.
The shop is like the man, the man like
the shop, and his principle, manhood
and polities like both. Such a man is
entitled neither to the respect nor the
suffrages of the people.
Tne Somerset Herald has discovered
another mare’s nest by the aid of a
horse-headed county auditor, and
whenever the old, broken-down, spav-
ined Scull mare finds one of, her own
nests, she begins at once to kick vigor-
ously at the County Commissioners.
If the Herald would just candidly ad-
mit that the poor old thing is only mad
on account of not getting any of the
Commissioners’ printing, it would tell
the whole story. and would not need to
use “Hell-bent” Auditor Steinbaugh
for a fool and a tool. Hush, little baby,
don’t you cry, because you can’t have
court-house pie; but keep on your
clothes, blow your nose and don’t make
a public show of your woes. Pull down
your vest, wipe off your chin, beneath
your big mouth where a donkey walk-
ed in, but left footprints on your “mug”
outside, toshow where forever he shall
abide. Men hear that donkey within
you bray, and they know that he is
there to stay. He brays and brays
while he is able, for he is the donkey
and you but his stable—a stable filled
with cobwebs and chaff, and litter that
isn’t as sweet by half.
P.S. Don’t mistake this for spring
poetry just because it is written on a
verdant subject and hits the flower of
the Scull family, a sweet-scented,
blooming snap-dragon.
A Candidate for County Treasurer.
Jacob Kreger, of Upper Turkeyfoot
township, has announced his intention
to run for the office of County Treas-
urer at the coming Republican primary
election. He informs THE STAR that
he served his country in the War of
the Rebellion and left his right leg on
the battlefield of Fredericksburg. The
leg was taken off so high up that Mr.
Kreger has never been able to use an
artificial limb, consequently has to get
about on erutches.
Mr. Kreger further states that he has
never before asked for office, and also
calls attention to the fact that the
township in which he lives has not
furnished a county officer for many
years.
GIVE YOUR STOMACH A REST.
Your food must be properly digested
and assimilated to be of any value to
you. If your stomach is weak or dis-
eased take Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. It
digests what you eat and gives the
stomach a rest, enabling it to recuper-
ate, take on new life and grow strong
again. Kodol cures sour stomach, gas,
bloating, heart palpitation and all di-
gestive disorders. L. A. Soper, of Lit-
tle Rock, Ky., writes us: “We feel
that Kodol Dyspepsia Cure deserves all
the commendation that can be given
| it, as it saved the life of our little girl
| when she was three years old. She is
| now six and we have kept it for her
| constantly, but of course she only takes
| it now when anything disagrees with
| her” Sold by E. H. Miller. 31
WILL RUN GREAT ENGINE.
Former Salisbury Boy to Manipu-
late Throttle of Marvelous Elec-
tric Locomotive.
Samuel A. Bickford, formerly a resi-
dent of Conemaugh, has been selected
to run the fastest locomotive in the
world—the New York Central’s new
high-speed 97-ton electric locomotive,
which recently attained the remark-
able speed over a considerable distance
of 75 miles an hour. The engineer thus
honored is a son of George Bickford, a
highly respected resident of Cone-
maugh, where he made his home for
many years. He was born March 3,
1863, and commenced railroading as a
fireman on the P. R. R. in 1883. He
was promoted to the position of engin-
eer in January of 1888, and six years
later he entered the employ of the
Beech Creek division in New Jersey.
He reported for duty to the N. Y. C.
offices about ten days ago and will be
located at Albany, N. Y., where his
family will move in the near future
from Jersey Shore, N. J., where they
had been located for some time.
Mr. Bickford has numerous friends
in this vicinity who will be glad to
learn of the honor that has been con-
ferred upon him —Johnstown Demo-
crat.
The above from our esteemed Johns-
town contemporary affords THE STAR
much pleasure, as Samuel A. Bickford
was formerly a Salisbury boy and an
old schoolmate of the editor's and of
many others who will remember him
and the rest of the Bickford family.
His father, George Bickford, was a na-
tive of Maine and came to Salisbury
during the time the “shook” industry
was in full blast. The family moved
from here to Cambria county, Pa., in
1878, where Samuel entered the rail-
way service as a fireman after first
graduating from the Iron City Busi-
ness College. of Pittsburg. In his
youth he was a very bright, studious
boy, and as a man he is exceedingly
competent and well read. He is an ex-
pert locomotive engineer, and as such
is known far and wide. But he is only
one of a large number of bright and
useful men that old Salisbury has
given to the world.
Contrast, if you please, the boys that
were growing to manhood in this town
from thirty to forty years ago with the
crop of youths to be found in this com-
munity now. Those of you who lived
here then, if you will take the trouble
to think and inquire a little, you will
find that most of the old-time Salis-
bury boys are now very solid, substan-
tinl citizens, and in many instances
men filling high and lucrative positions
in business and the various professions
and arts. Quite a lot of them have be-
come quite well-to-do, and you will
find among them successful merchants,
bankers, railroad men, newspaper men,
telegraph operators, lawyers, doctors,
public officers, ete. And most of them,
too, started without a dollar, and re-
ceived no other schooling than such as
they could get during the five-month
terms then held in the old Salisbury
school house.
There are some bright boys growing
up in Salisbury now, but average them
up with the good, bad and indifferent
growing up with them, and they will
not begin to compare with the boys to
be found here a quarter of a century
ago. The majority of the boys growing
up in this town now have no higher
ambition than to smoke stinking cigar-
etts, idle away their valuable time, get
drunk, disrespect their parents and
other older people, use slang, read
worthless literature, ete.
There are various causes for the sad
retrogression of the youth of our town.
In many cases the parents are at fault.
They allow the boys too much liberty
and do not teach them ways of thrift
and industry. In many cases the
fathers have sacrificed their own in-
dividuality and personal liberty to the
labor unions, and they are teaching
their boys that they must work only
when the union says “work,” and strike
whenever the union says “strike.”
It is all right to strike sometimes,
but it is all wrong to go nosing about
trying to keep others from working by
means of bribery and intimidation,
calling men scabs, etc. Men who pur-
sue such a course do not amount to
anything, and their boys will never
amount to anything. Why? Simply
because such a course on the part of
the fathers makes impudent “smart
alecks” of their sons, and the boys who
grow up only to be ‘smart alecks” and
cigarette stinkers will always be afraid
of doing more than they get paid for.
Folks who never do any more than
they get paid for, never get paid for
any more than they do, which is very
little, hence their wages are little, and
such people will always be hewers of
wood and drawers of water for those
who are more thoughtful, industrious
and thrifty.

The Miners’ Strike as Viewed by
the Somerset Herald.
The Somerset Herald, which is puls-
lished by George and Robert Scull,
who have long been the well knowm
masters of Lou ... Smith, mapping oat
the political policy of the Commercial,
which always obeys orders to the let-
ter, last week had the following to say
concerning the miners’ strike:
“All of the nineteen mines of the
Somerset Coal Company are running
full time, or ag full us the weather coa-
ditions will permit. Outside men at
the mines have been obliged to pat up
with many hardships on account of the
bitter cold weather, but work is going
steadily ahead, and the output is re-
ported larger than at any time sinee
the company was organized three yeare
ago. There is little comfort in the
above to the union miners who have
steadfastly refused to work for more
than a year, and who have stood idly
by and watched their places being filled
by miners from other regions, many of
whom have obtained permanent jobs at
remunerative wages. The so-called
strike has been “dead as a door-nail™
for fully a year, but some people sti
refuse to acknowledge it.”
The Herald’s size-up of the strike is
absolutely correct, and the Scull boye
ought to see to it that the Commercigi
quits lying to the strikers and for onee
publishes the truth, as the Herald hae
done in this instance. but which it
seldom does in a political editorial
dictated to the Commercial.
FRAUD EXPOSED.
A few counterfeiters have lately bees
making and trying to sell imitations
of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con-
sumption, Coughs and Colds, and other
medicines, thereby defrauding the pub-
lic. This is to warn you toc beware of
such people, who seek to profit, through
stealing the reputation of remedies
which have been successfully curing
diseases, for over 35 years. A sure
protection, to you, is our name on the
wrapper. Look for it,on all Dr. King’s,
or Bucklen’s remedies, as all others
are mere imitations. H.E.BUCKLEN

Hunters’ License.
A bill licensing hunters has been in-
troduced in the legislature. It makes
it unlawful for any person to hunt wild
game in the state without obtaining e
license. All persons born in the Unit-
ed States, above 12 years of age, whe
have lived in the state for six months.
are entitled to a resident hunter’s li-
cense. The county treasurer is authoe-
ized to issue licenses upon applica-
tion made in writing, stating name,
residence, postoffice address, age,
height, color of eyes and hair, style of
beard, if any, and any other particular
distinguishing marks that will identify
the holder of license to prevent ite
transfer to another. The cost of a li-
cense is fixed at $1.25. The bill does
not prevent a native born citizen un-
der 18 years of age from hunting with-
out dogs and without a license on land
owned or occupied by his parents.
Non-resident hunters can secure li-
censes by making the same kind of am
application to the secretary of the
board of state game commissioners.
This kind of a license is to cost $1Q,
and shall be void after the following
31st of December. The penalty for
each violation of the proposed law is
$25.

The Good of a Newspaper.
Speaking of what a newspaper does
for tbe community, United States Sen-
ator David Davis, of Illinois, made am
address that remains ever green in the
memories of newspaper men. He said=
“The editor, in proportion to his means,
does more for his town than any other
man, and,in all fairness, man witk
man, he ought to be supported—not be-
cause you happen to like him or ad-
mire his writings, but because a local
paper is the best investment a com-
munity can make. It may not be
crowded with great thought, but finan-
cially it is of more benefit than both
teacher and preacher. Today editors
do more for less pay than any other
men on earth. Patronize your home
paper. not as a charity, but as an io-
vestment.”
