Miss Almgyra Lichliter spent last week visiting friends in Meyersdale. D. B. Zimmerman, the well known Somerset capitalist, is reported to be down with pneumonia, Ex-Sheriff Ru-h 8. McMillen, of near Kingwood, this county, was a business visitor in Salisbury, this week. Miller’s drug store presents a very handsome appearance since he has completed the interior decorations. Good roads are certainly conducive to better civilization, closer intercom- munication of ide 1~, and true progress.

It began on Sunday and will end en Sunday, so it has fifty three Sun- days. Not until 2012 will there be another year with this number of Sun- days. The time of year is upon us when all good citizens should clean up their back yards and gardens. Cleanliness is not only next to godliness, but it goes a long way toward keeping a town healthy and attractive. One night is all the time necessary to prove that Pineules is the best remedy in the world for backache and all kid- mney and bladder troubles. If you hae rheumatism or any other blood disease, a single dose will give relief. Sold by Elk Lick Supply Co. 6-1 It is said that oil has begun to flow from the well recently drilled on the Hiatt farm, in Lincoln township, this eounty. The coming summer will likely be noted for active oil operations by home companies, as the prospects for success are very good. You can apply ManZan inside, right where the pain is? It is put up in col- lapsable tubes with nozzle attachment for introducing it. ManZan stops pain instantly and cures all kinds of blind, bleeding, itching and protruding piles. | Bold by Elk Lick Supply Co. 6-1 Quemahoning postoffice is the latest P. O. to be knocked out by rur.l free delivery. The office was established 25 years ago, principally for the benefit of W. 8. Morgan, deceased, who was at that time a prominent manufacturer of woollen goods in the north of the coun- ty. We regret tolearn that Clyde Balliet, who is suffering in a hospital at. Greensburg, Pa. with a broken leg, is not getting along as well as his friends would wish. “His mother, Mrs. J. C. Balliet, and her daughter, Mrs. E. M. Loechel, went to Greensburg to visit | him, last week. | Backache is never known to those persons who take an occasional dose of | Pineules. The value of the resin ob- tained from the Pine tree has long heen | recognized in the treatment of diseases | of the bladder and kidneys. One dose of Pineules will give relief, and one | bottle will cure. Sold by Elk Lick | Supply Co. 6-1 The Moberly (Mo.) Democrat tells of a negro exhorter who shouted: “Come up en jine de army of de Lord.” “Ise done jined,” replied one of the congre- gation. “Whar’d yoh jine?” asked the exhorter. “In de Baptist church.” “Why, chile,” said the exhorter, “yoh ain’t in de army, yobh’s in de navy.” He who builds and keeps in repair, or influences thereto, » good piece of road, fronting his property, is, perhaps, =» greater public benefactor even than he who plants along the same road a row of trees to shade the traveler, or estab- lishes at a convenient point a watering trough where thirsty animals may find refreshing drink. Volume 1 No. 1 of the Turkeyfoot News, n newspaper just established at Confluence, by Beggs Bros. & Co., has reached our exchange table. It is a 5-column folio, neatly printed and well filled with local news. We wish the new paper success, although we never had a very high opinion of Confluence as a newspaper field. Herbert, the eldest son of Editor John A. Lambert, of the Somerset Standard has taken charge of the Windber Jour- nal, which lately was under the edi- torial management of Wm. F. Hen- drickson. Young Editor Lambert is getting out a nice, interesting paper, and Tur Star joins his many other friends in wishing him abundant suec- cess. William, John and James Cocklin, three brothers from Quemahoning township, were lodged in the Somerset jail, the other day, by the Tax Collector for Quemahoning township, on a charge of non-payment of taxes, says the Som- erset Democrat. Jail is too good a place for men who are too worthless to pay their taxes. Such fellows ought to be banished to some desert island. A woman who was waiting fora train in Humbolt recently had a bad scare, says a Kansas exchange. A freight train was backing up as she stood on the platform. and one of the brakemen called to the other: “Jump onto her when she comes by; run her down be- yond the elevator, cut her in two and head end up to the depot.” The local paper adds that the lady jumped and yelled murder as hard as she could. H. C. Farner and Howard Knepp, of Sand Patch, Pa., were Salisbury visitors last Sunday. While here they made the editor a pleasant visit, and Mr. Kuepp added his name to our subserip- tion list. He had been reading the paper at Mr. Farner’s hotel, and he pronounces it the most interesting paper he knows of. There are many others who give the same verdict. Sub- scribers to THe Star get the worth of their money. 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 Co. 6-1 We have lately been turning out some very fine printed stationery for some of our most progressive farmers. The producers of hay, grain, live stock, maple sugar, ete., should all use print- ed stationery. It is just as important for them to use it as for merchants to use it, and in this age of progress the business man who uses blank paper and envelopes in writing letters is in- variably regarded as a mossback by the wholesale firms and business people in general. The union miners now on a strike had a parade at the lower end of the region, last Saturday. Some of the faithful from this end of the region participated in it, and some of them returned home beautifully {?) “jugged.” The mines are all running with a full complement of men, and whenever the workers see the strikers marching, many of them exclaim: “If that many are idle when all the mines are filled, we would be very foolish not to hold onto our jobs.” And so they would. It is rumored that a hotel syndicate incorporated under the laws of West Virginia, will, in the near future, es- tablish a number of summer and winter health resorts and large inas at various places throughout this county. It is said that the Highland Inn, at Somer- set, will pass into the hands of the new company, and that large inns will be established at Trent, Ohiopyle and other nearby points. The new company is said to be composed of New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburg and local capi- talists. Croup is quickly 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- relieved, and 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.

Just how long she will bave to remain, we do not know, but earnestly hope she can be restored to her family soon. Home will not seem like home during her abh- sence, but if she returns in good health, it will be the happiest event in the editor’s life. and we know that there will be a warm welcome for her, not only from husband and children, but alsa from Mrs. Livengcod’s many kind friends and neighbors, The Cumberland police and the po- department of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad are busy just now in- vestigating the report that a number of Connellsville division trainmen paid their board bills in Cumberland board- ing houses with unsigned bank notes taken from the mail ear which was burned near Hyndman, some weeks ago. These notes printed for several Pennsylvania banks, were half burned and scattered around at the scene of the fire. missing signatures, and the railroaders, it is said, used quite a lot of the money on the unsuspecting boarding-house keepers. lice is here making a birdseye view of our town, including all of West Salisbury. He is a sketcher of fine ability, and when he is through with his work, an engraving will be made from which a number of pictures will be printed and sold at $1.50 each. We wave been shown samples of Mr. Fowler's work, and the prices are very low, consider- ing the quality, appearance and size of the pictures. The pictures of Salisbury are meeting with a ready sale, and everybody ought to buy several copies. They will make nice presents to send to distant friends who were brought up in this vicinity. Zacharia Faidley, a well known] citi- zen of Elk Lick township, died very suddenly at his home in the little vil- lage of Keim, about 2!4 miles west of Salisbury, Tuesday morning, the 1ith inst. Mr. Faidley was the village blacksmith at Keim for a number of years, and he was held in high esteem by his neighbors and aequaintances. He was noted for his extreme kindness of heart, and whenever there was sick- ness in the community, he was ever ready to lend a helping hand. Deceas- ed was suddenly strickendown by three strokes of paralysis, all within the space of a few hours. He was 56 years old, and is survived by a wife and several children. The Meyersdale Coal Company, which is operating a mine at Wells Creek. has purchased from J. R. Stauffer, of Scott- dale, 1650 acres of coal land adjoining its present holdings in Somerset town- ship, paying an average of about $100 an acre therefor. The capital stock of the company has been doubled, and J. R. and J. M. Stauffer have been mem- bers of the company. The company’s holdings now aggregates about 2,200 adres, and an operation will be com- menced on the new tract in the near future, with a complete modern plant. Frank B. Black, of Meyersdale, is pres- ident of the company, and W. T. Hob litzell, of the same place, is the =ecre- tary.—Somer-et Standard. John Krausse left on Monday morn- ing for Delaware county, Pa., where he will enter the Williamson School of Mechanical Trades. His brother George is a student at the same school. where he bas been for more than » year. It is » good xchool for boys, and as George likes the place very much, it is likely that his brother will like it just as well. All boys who enter there are given a good, practical education. and they also learn useful and lucra tive trades under expert workmen. We think Mr. Krausse has acted wisely in sending his boys to such an excel lent institution, and we will venture the prediction that the lads will become useful and honorable citizens. It ix just as safe to predict that some other boys in this town, who are about the age of the Krausse boys, but who people scabs, ete, will be in peniten 10 years. Mine Boss Examinations.
