May we hope that out of the religious
awakening that is rolling over the
country, some of the already sanctified
mortals may be awakened to the fact
that it is quite an essential element of
genuine Christianity to pay their
honest debts, where they can do so?
There are un whole lot of such people

It is difficult to cure a cough or free
yourself from the discomforts of a cold
unless you move the bowels. Bee's
Laxative Honey and Tar acts on the
bowels and drives all cold out of the
system. Then comes its soothing effect
and strengthening influence upon the
throat and lungs. For Croup, Whoop-
ing Cough, Colds, and all Lung and
Bronchial affections, no remedy is
equal to the original Laxative Honey
and Tar. Sold by Elk Lick Supply

The Middle Pennsylvania Peniten-
tiary is created by a bill introduced by
Mr. Flynn, of Elk county, in the House
of Representatives at Harrisburg. on
Wednesday, of last week, which bill
provides for the appointment of a com-
mission of seven to select a site for the
penitentiary and appropriates $15,000
for the purpose. The bill cites the
overcrowded condition of both the
Eastern and Western Penitentiaries,
and asserts that for historical reasons
the former should not be removed from
Philadelphia, its present location. These
counties shall comprise the Middle
district within which the new peniten-
tiary shall be erected: McKean, Elk,
Clearfield, Cambria, Blair, Bedford,
Cumberland, Adams, Potter, Cameron,
Clinton. Fulton, Centre, Huntingdon,
Mifflin, Perry, Juniata, Franklin, Tioga,
Lycoming, Union and Snyder.
Croup is quickly relieved, and
Whooping Cough will not “run its
course” if you use the original Bee's
Laxative Honey and Tar. This Cough
Syrup is different from all others be-
cause it acts on the bowels. You can
not cure Croup and Whooping Cough
until you rid the system of all conges-
tion, by working off the cold through a
copious action of the bowels. Bee's
Laxative Honey and Tar does this, and
cures all Coughs, Croup, Whooping
Cough, ete. No opiates. Sold by Elk

Rev. Albert K. Travis and Miss C.
Katherine Seavey, of Derry, New
Hampshire, were quietly married at
{he bride’s home on Wednesday, March
15th, 1905. Only the immediate friends
of the bride’s family were present.
The couple had a pleasant wedding
tour, making short visits to Boston,
New York, Washington and Pittsburg.
The members of the Salisbury M. E.
church, and friends to the number of
150, gave Rev. Travis and bride a most
cordial reception in the Red Men's hall,
Saturday evening last. The Salisbury
Orchestra was present and rendered
some excellent music. The refresh-
ments were of the finest, and the affair
was greatly enjoyed by all present. As
the bride and groom were leaving for
home, the ladies presented them with a
very fine cake. We wish the couple
much happiness and prosperity, and we
trust that they may reside a long time
in Salisbury, where they have many
admiring friends.
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. etc. 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
Another Act of Vandalism.
Last Friday night some person or
persons entered the Meager mine and
broke about all the tools in the place.
That is more evidence that trade union-
ism is not yet dead in this vicinity, but
it is also evidence that the miners’
union is on its last legs. Such acts on
the part of union strikers always give
organized labor a black eye.
INCREDIBLE BRUTALITY.
It would have been incredible brutal-
ity if Chas. F. Lemberger, of Syracuse,
N.Y. had not done the best he could
for bis suffering son. “My boy,” he
says, ‘cut a fearful gash over his eye,
so I applied Bucklen’s Arnica Salve,
which quickly healed it and saved his
eye. Good for burns and uleers, too.

What it Costs.
“In going to law you are a loser if:
you win,” said a disgusted litigant the
other day after haying lost a suit in
which he was concerned. This idea is
emphnsized somewhat by a reference
to the recent cross suits from
Besides the great expense to the connty,
the court costs to six of the prosecu-
tors and defendants runs over $8C0, as
follows: Ferd Sann, $181.92; Ed,
Keane (“not guilty but pay the costs,”)
$154.11; Robert Lochrie (“not guilty
but pay the costs”) $222.73; William
Boyle, $61.50; Martin Blucas, $176.24 ;
Steve Oshnski, $20.35. In addi-
tion to the above, private counsel
was employed in the cases, so it must
be evident that it requires at least four
figures to state the costs of a fight

CHAMPION LINIMENT FOR
RHEUMATISM.
Chas. Drake, a mail carrier at Chap-
inville, Conn., says: “Chamberlain’s
Pain Balm is the champion of all lini
ments. The past year I was troubled
a great deal with rheumatism in my
shoulder. After trying several cures
the storekeeper here recommended this
remedy and it completely cured me.”
There is no use of anyone suffering
from that painful ailment when this
liniment can be obtained for a small
sum. One application gives prompt
relief and its continued use for a short
time will produce a permanent cure.

Our View of it Exactly.
Why should the courts of Pennsyl-
vania be dispensatories of licenses for
the sale of intoxicants? Why not
place the burden of that onerous priv-
ilege upon the people, where it belongs,
and not contaminate the judiciary
with the nefarious traffic? Let us have
a local option law that will give the
people of each city, borough and town-
ship the privilege of voting on the
question of license or no license. In
the absence of such a law, why should
not the court place the matter up to
the people, thus laying the responsi-
bility where it belongs? If we, ascom-
munities, are to be profit sharers in
the whiskey business, as we certainly
are in the appropriation of license
money to the public treasuries, we
ought to be permitted to say whether
the partnership is agreeable or not.—
Rockwood Gazette.
A DISTRUCTIVE FIRE.
To draw the fire out of a burn, or heal
a cut without leaving a scar, use De-
Witt’s Witch Hazel Salve. A specifie
for piles. Get the genuine. J. L.
Tucker, editor of the Harmonizer,
Centre, Ala., writes: “I have used De-
Witt’s Witch Hazel Salve in my family
for Piles, cuts and burns. It is the best
salve on the market. Every family
should keep it on hand.” Sold by E.

Will Write County History.
Mr. W. H. Welfley, a well known res-
ident of Somerset, has been employed
by a prominent publishing firm to
write a history of Sowerset county.
There probably could not have been
made a better selection for this work,
as the gathering of historical data has
been almost a hobby with Mr. Welfley
for a number of years, and his accu-
mulation certainly exceeds any other
in the county. But even with his vast
collection, he feels that there must be
further valuable historical information
concerning early history stored away
in the closets or memories of the older
residents of the several districts of the
county, and for this Mr. Welfley n<k-
the Standard to appeal in his behalf
If you have any historical data that
you think ought to be preserved in the
forthcoming work, send it to Mr. Welf-
ley.—Somerset Standard.

find the tallest man, has been called to
Samuel Wilson, of Belsano. Wilson is |
said to be six feet five and a halfinches

coincides with Jacob Squires, of Eb-
ensburg, who is also six feet five and a |
half inches tall. That leaves the mat-

won’t do at all. The plot thickens as
the men get taller. The mystery grows |
