Owing to the editor’s absence from
home for nearly a week, much inter-
esting news matter is this week omit-
ted from our columns. It can’t be
helped, however, and we hope our
readers will excuse all shortcomings.

On Monday night at about one
o’clock the Miller drug building was
discovered to be afire. The alarm was
promptly given, and fortunately the
flames were soon extinguished. The
fire was caused by a spark on the roof.
Aside from a small hole burned in the
roof, there was no other damage.

Our friend Edward Flynn orders THE
STAR sent to his address at Branch,
Arkansas, instead of Morrison, Tenn.
as formerly. Edward writes that ap-
ple trees are in full bloom in Tennes-
see, but adds that there will be no
peaches. He writes further that peo-
ple down there are planting corn, and
that gardens are all planted.
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 been
recognized in the treatment of diseases
of the bladder and kidneys. One dose
of Pineules will give relief, and one
bottle will cure.

John Laus, a Somerset blacksmith, |
fired two bullets into the body of his
father-in-law, David Friedline, at
about 10 o'clock a. m., Tuesday. He |
then turned his pistol on himself and
sent a bullet into his own brain, dying
about an hour later. Friedline will
likely recover. Domestic trouble was
the cause of the tragedy. Laus and
and his wife could not get along to-
gether, and the woman left him. He
claimed that his wife took $600 of his
money, and when her father and anoth-
er man attempted to remove some of
the furniture from the Laus home,
Laus nppeared on the scene and did
the shooting.
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. 8-1
The tapeworm is the natural enemy
of the germ of consumption, and the
latter cannot exist when the other is
present, says-Consul Capada, atl. Vera
Cruz, Mexico, in a report just received
at the State Department at Washing-
ton. The consul states that two emi-
nent scientists haye discovered that
the tapeworm prevents the organism
from being affected with tuberculosis
baceilli, and it has been proven -in the
case of a consumptive affected with
tapeworm that he completely recover-
ed his health. To establish the effi-
ciency of this remedy, the doctor inject-
ed a liquid preparation from the tancia
into several consumptives, which re-
sulted in a complete cure.
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
Syrap 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

Jennings Bros., of Lopez, Pa., and of
Jennings. this county, both of which
places they founded, have shipped two
carloads of lumber through Cumber-
land to the new town of Jenningstown,
Tucker county, W. Va, which they are
establishing on the junction of the Dry
Fork and the Randolph & Pocahontas
railroads, thirteen miles south of Hen-
dricks. There they own about twelve
thousand acres of fine timber, which
will be developed as soon as the mills
can be erected. Scores of workmen
are on the scene, and the town is being
laid out. They will light the town
and each company house will be pro-
vided with a bath. The town will be
Jocated on the Dry Fork river. The
Jennings brothers, who built a fifteen-
mile railroad in Garrett county, are
the promoters of the Randolph & Poca-
hontas railroad, to be built from Jen-
ningstown, and the first meeting of the
stockholders will be held in Elkins on
April 12.—Oakland Journal.
As per announcement in THE STar,
last week, the editor’s wife was taken
to a Philadelphia hospital, where she
had » very severe surgical operation
performed on Monday. It was found
| that she had a floating kidney and
other troubles which had to be cor-
rected by the surgeon’s knife. The
operation lasted about an hour and a
half, and while her suffering has since
been very intense, we are navertheless
glad to report that she stood the opera-
tion well, and when we last saw her (at
4p m. on Tuesday) she was looking
quite well, and was resting as well as
could be expected. She and her phjy-
sician both felt hopeful of recovery
when we last saw them. and her tem-
perature, respiration, ete., were about
normal. Since then we have heard
nothing of her condition, but expect a
reply at any moment to a message of
Linn sent to the hospital several
hours ago. It is needless to say that
| the awful suspense we were held in un-
| til the operation was over, caused us
| much grief and anguish. In faet the
| suspense is still very great, and will be
| until Mrs. Livengood is able to return
| home. But we must bear our suffer-
ing of mind and heart as best we can,
and hope for the best. Something tells
us that everything will come all right,
and we feel positive of the patient and
loved wife and mother’s recovery.
| While in the city we enjoyed pleasant
visits with Mrs. Evora Smith and Mr.
F. J. Anspach. They both did much to
cheer and comfort Mrs. Livengood, as
| well as lighten our own sorrow. We
shall ever gratefully remember those
| kind friends, for their sympathy and
| kind words were more appreciated
| than anything else that could have
been offered.
LATER: —We are just in receipt of
| the following telegram from the hos-
| pital superintendent: “Mrs. Liven-
| good doing well. Everything normal.”

; CHEATED DEATH.
Kidney trouble often ends fatally,
but by choosing the right medicine, E.
H. Wolf, of Bear Grove, Iowa, cheated
death. He says: “Two years ago I
had Kidney Trouble, which caused me
great pain, suffering and anxiety, but I
took Electric Bitters, which effected a
complete cure. Ihave also found them
of great benefit in general debility and
nerve trouble, and keep them constant-
ly on hand, since, as I find they have
no equal” E. H. Miller, the druggist,
guarantees them at 50c. 5-1
GAS WELL GROWS STRONGER.
Lincoln Oil & Gas Company Encour-
aged by Strong Indications at
New Well.
Word from Hon. O. P. Shaver of
Friedens. who is one of the leading
spirits in the Lincoln Oil and Gas Com-
pany, is that drilling on the second test
well for oil or gas in Quemahouning
township is progressing rapidly. The
gas from the well drilled on the Long
farm, near the Texas school-house, has
been piped to the new well and is used
to heat the boiler. The drillers say the
flow of gas is growing stronger. An
examination of the pipes last week
showed that oil is being forced to the
surface by the gas. The party who
made the examination declares “it is
genuine oil by smell and greasy na-
ture? Theindications for striking oil
or gas at the new well are said to be
strong. —Somerset Standard.

ABOUT RHEUMATISM.
There are few diseases that inflict
more torture than rheumatism and
there is probably no disease for which
such a varied and useless lot of reme-
dies have been suggested. To say that
it ean be cured is, therefore, a bold
statement to make, but Chamberlain’s
Pain Balm, which enjoys an extensive
sale, has met with great success in the
treatment of this disease. One appli-
cation of Pain Balm will relieve the
prin, and hundreds of sufferers have
testified to permanent cures by its use.
Why suffer when Pain Balm affords
such quick relief and costs but a trifle?

FIRST COUSINS CROSS STATE LINE
AND WED.
Social Circles of Somerset, Pa.,
Thrilled by News of Elopement.f}
Somerset, Pa., April 15—Evading
their parents and friends, Geo. L.
Brown and Miss Bertha Cook went to
Fairmont, W. Va. today and were mar-
ried.
Their wedding would have been il-
legal in Pennsylvania, as they are first
cousins, their mothers being sisters.
The bride is a daughter of J. M.
Cook, a wealthy business man and
president of the School Board of this
place. She is a brunette, 21 years old.
Mr. Brown is a clerk in the book store
of his uncle, Chas. H. Fisher, having
come here n few years ago from Balti-
more.
They left Somerset on different trains
this morning, Miss Cook representing
that she was going to Rochester, N. Y.,
to visit girl friends.
News of the wedding, received here
by wire, created a profound sensation
in social circles to-night.
FORGET ABOUT YOUR STOMACH.
If your digestion is bad the vital or-
gans of your body are not fed and
nourished as they should be. They
grow weak and invite disease. Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure digests what you eat,
cures indigestion and all stomach
troubles. You forget you have a
stomach from the very day you begin
taking it. This is because it gets a rest
_recuperates and’gradually grows so
strong and healthy that it troubles you
no more. E. L. Babcock, Amherst,
Minn., says: “I have taken a great
many remedies for indigestion but have
found nothing equal to Kodol Dyspep-
sia Cure.” Kodol digests what you eat,
cures Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Sour
Stomach, Belching, Heartburn and all
Stomach Troubles. Its preparation is
the result of many years of research.

Sowing and Reaping.
Like to be off yonder,
Where pleasant pathways lead;
But you cannot hope for harvest
If you never sow the seed.
The fields invite my labor,
While the winds would sing to sleep;
The vieyard’s voice is calling:
“It’s the sower who shall reap!”
So I leave the pleasant pathways
For the stern and riggid soil,
And find a rich rewarding
In the blessedness of toil!
