ALL good Republicans should go to
the polls at next Saturday’s primary
and do their Christian duty by throw-
ing a few more tons of political earth
on the old Scull ring corpse. The old
thing can’t be burried too deep for the
public good.
SoMmE of the Scullocrats are already
charging unfairness, because persons
who are known to have voted the Soci-
alist and Citizens’ Union tickets, last
fall, will be debarred from participat-
ing in next Saturday’s Republican
primary. What in thunder do they
take the Republican party for, anyway?
A Republican primary is for Republi-
| cans only, and those who have gone
after strange gods must first purge
themselves and thoroughly cleanse
their soiled political linen. They can-
not be Republicans only at nomina-
tions, and Democrats, Socialists and
general political fools at the elections.
Any man has a perfect right to leave
the Republican party whenever he
chooses, but he can’t come back and
be in good standing on such short no-
tice. The party rules require Republi-
can voting at the elections, of those who
would participate in Republican cau-
cuses and primaries.
S8oME of the self-styled “Stalwarts”
talk very glibly about the fairness of
the primary elections in “the good old
days” when the Scull gang had full
sway. They must think all the people
have poor memories. They evidently
forget the time that the Scull gang
voted an old horse seventeen times at
a certain primary in this borough. The
horse was owned by James K. Liven-
good, who was a noted Scull ring poli-
tician, and other Scull henchmen held
the primary. The old horse was pre-
sented at the polls seventeen different
times, each time under a different
name, and eaeh time a Scull ring vote
was deposited in the ballot box. When
the votes were counted, there were
more of them than the entire popula-
tion of Salisbury. Those are the kind
of primaries the old Scull ringsters are
longing for. But Scull horses can no
longer vote, and a good many kicking
Scull jackasses will also be debarred at
the coming primary.
Tue old Scull gang does not want to
own the men it persuaded to announce
for office, namely: Begley, Walker,
Wagner, Ankeny and “Edwie” Werner.
The Scull organ, the Herald, now re-
fers to therm as “the orphans,” and it
even ridicules them for being so foolish
as to announce. They wouldn’t have
announced, had it not been for promises
of support made by the Scull gang.
The five candidates named were play-
ing in a double role, thinkigg they
could successfully pose as both Scull
and anti-Scull candidates. But they
fooled nobody but themselves. The
Sculls encouraged them to announce
in order to create dissentions in the
anti-Scull ranks, but they don’t care
who is elected or defeated. It’s another
bolt the Sculls are after this year, and
when it comes, the old gang will get it
where the chicken got the ax. Begley
has promised a deputyship to a promi-
nent strike leader in Salisbury, and the
gentleman has been busy for months
telling the strikers what a good friend
of theirs Mr. Begley is. But the Salis-
bury strike leader isn’t the only fellow
claiming to have been promised a dep-
utyship under Mr. Begley. Two other
prominent strike leaders, one at Hoov-
ersville, the other at Garrett, claim to
have the same promises from Begley,
and they are indulging in the same
kind of soft talk to the strikers that is
being indulged in by the would-be
deputy in Salisbury. “The orphans,”
as the Herald calls the five seven-sided
gentlemen named, all want to be good
anti-Scull men now, and they are send-
ing out literature so declaring them-
selves. But they will fool nobody but
ignoramuses. The people are posted,
and they will not rally to the support
of the five men who were induced to
announce by the bolters.

Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Gas on the

DR. FAHRNEY ESTATE $8,465,000.
Will of Patent Medicine Manufae-
turer Filed for Probate.
The will of Dr. Peter Fahrney, presi-
dent of the Dr. Peter Fahrney Sons
Company, manufacturers of patent
medicine. was filed in the Probate
court to-day. The estate is valued at
$3,465,000. The personal property is
valued at $2,7000,000, and realty at
$765,000. All goes to relatives. To the
four sons is left $10,000 each, to be paid
to them as soon as possible. The sons
are Ezra C., William H., Joshua H.,
and Emory H. In lieu of the same
amount to his daughter, Susan Emory
Beachy. the testator left $10,000 to ber
husband, Peter A. Beachy. To the
widow he gave the homestead, together
with its furnishings, horses and car-
riages, ete., and a large amount of
property, including Chicago real estate
and land in Lake county, Illinois. This
was in lieu of her dower rights. The
rest of the property is to be held in
trust for the benefit of the members of
the family for twenty-one years.
The trustees of the will are empow-
ered to vote the stock of the medicine
company and in time to form a limited
partnership. This will have the effect
of keeping the business in the hands of
the family. The executors are the four
sons.—Chicago Daily News, March 9th,
1905.
The above will interest the many
friends of Peter A. Beachy, formerly of
Elk Lick township, this county. It will
also probably eonvince Lou A. Smith,
editor of the Meyersdale Commercial,
that Dr. Peter Fahrney is really dead.
“Lucifer” called the Meyersdale Re-
publican down only last week for pub-
lishing an announcement of the death
of Dr. Fahrney. The old pair of pants
that presides over the Commercial de-
nied the death of the said well known
doctor, and the denial was made in its
usual “smart aleck” style; but as usual,
“Lucifer” merely made a fool of himself
and showed that his paper can always
be relied upon to deny the truth and
publish false, misleading information.
The old fool of the Commercial doesn’t
even know that the old corrupt political
gang he adheres to is “as dead as a door
nail.” “Lucifer” always “shoots off his
mouth” before trying to learn facts.
. BY THE TONIC ROUTE.
The pills that act as a tonic, and not
as a drastic purge, are DeWitt’s Little
Early Risers. They cure Headache,
Constipation, Biliousness. ete. Early
Risers are small, easy to take and easy
to act—a safe pill. Mack Hamilton,
hotel clerk at Valley City, N. D., says:
“Two bottles cured me of chronic con-
stipation.” Sold by E. H. Miller. 4-1

Herald the big railroad companies are

Rockwood Hotel People Deny
Charge.
There is probably nota bar keeper in
Rockwood who does not know that
“Micky” Miller is not composmentis,
yet he was in a maudlin state of in-
toxication Tuesday night, and it is be-
lieved he drank at one or more of the
local bars to get in that condition.
Any man who will sell or give a drin
of whisky to such an individual is ae}
serving of a more severe panismend)
than the law provides. It is quite time
that the drunk makers were brought
within spy-glass observation of some of
the terms of the law, or their licenses
revoked.—Rockwood Gazette.
Tue STAR is in receipt of a letter
from some of the hotel people of Rock-
wood, and they declare that the above
from the Gazette is not true. Natural-
ly, they are quite indignant at the
Gazette.

A Month Without a Full Moon.
The month of February, 1866, was the
most remarkable month in the world’s
a January had two full moons,
and so had March, but February had
none. This had not occurred since the
creation of the world, and, according to
some astronomers, the same thing may
not occur again for a period of 1,500,000
years, but we'll just wait and see.
