The president of our Town Council
has a very dangerous piece of plank
pavement in front of his property oc-
cupied by P. M. Wahl. Better fix it,
Charley, before some person breaks a
limb and sues the borough.
Did you, ever notice that when a
pretty woman marries an ugly man
there isn’t a great deal said about it?
But let a handsome man marry an
ugly woman, and what a howl they will
raise about it, especially the women.—
Ex.
One night is all the time necessary to
prove that Pineules is the best remedy
in the world for backache and all kid-
ney and bladder troubles. If you have
rheumatism or any other blood disease,
a single dose will give relief. Sold by

A young man took his best girl to
church, and, stopping at the end of the
back pews, turned to the usher and
said: “I guess we can squeeze in
here.” “Yes,” said the usher with a
smile, “I guess you can, but probably
it would be better for all concerned to
wait until you get home.”—Ex.
You can apply ManZan inside, right
where the pain is? It is put up in col-

instantly and cures all kinds of blind,
bleeding, itching and protruding piles.

One of our ladies was scolding her
husband for not going to éhurch and
trying to be good. “Oh, I don’t know
that I care to be an angel,” said he, “I
would have trouble getting my clothes
on over my wings.” She suggested
that she thought what he needed to be
worried about most was how he would
get his hat on over his horns.
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. Sold by Elk Lick

The old borough school building and
heating plant therein were sold at pub-
lic sale, last Saturday. H. C. Shaw
purchased the building for $185. The
heating plant was sold to C. T. Hay for
$160. Mr. Shaw will pull down the old
building and use the lumber for build-
ing purposes. Mr. Hay will install the
heating plant in his store building.
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 |

Mr. Pink Whiskers of Pocahontas
writes—'Fred. Durr told me to-day
that Dr. George Washington Slick, of
Grantsyille, had just wired him that a
New Germany girl lately bought a
piano with money earnad by keeping a
dozen hens, and on the following Mon-
day her father went out and killed
every hen on the place.”—Frostburg

The grand military play, “Trueto the
Flag,” will be rendered in Hay’s opera
house, Monday evening, May 22nd,
for the benefit of the Sons” of
Veterans. The cast will consist of
nearly fifty people, under the wanage-
ment of Prof. W. H. Beltz, of Pittsburg.
This is one of the finest military plays
of the day, and one that has been given
in Pittsburg and other large towns
with the most flattering success, by
Prof. Beltz. Everybody ought to see it.
A young man took his girl to a show,
recently, and soon after the curtain
was raised she complained of feeling
faint. The young man took something
out of his pocket and whispered, “Put
this tablet in your mouth.” She quick-
ly placed it under her tengue, but it
would not dissolve. However, she soon
felt much better. When the show was
over she slipped the tablet into her
glove. When she removed the glove at
home she found the tablet was a but-
ton.—Ex.
John Armstrong, a Sharon teamster,
has just been rewarded for an act of
kinduess performed five years ago.
While working in Clarion county dur-
ing the winter he found a man named
Cannon who had lost his way and was
nearly frozen. He gave him assistance,
probably saving his life. Mr. Cannon
died a short time ago and in his will
made the provision that Armstrong
should receive $500. Armstrong is not
in good circumstances, and the legacy
will be appreciated.—Sharon Herald.
Croup is quickly relieved, and
Whooping Cough will not “ran 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 ail Coughs, Croup, Whooping
Cough, ete. No opiates. Sold by Elk

Space is too limited to mention our
many good cash-paying subscribers,
who can always be counted on to come
around and renew their subscriptions
as soon as the time paid for has expir-
ed, but we nevertheless feel like mak-
ing special mention of Robert Walker,
who is one of our most faithful in that
respect. Whenever “Bob” says he will
be on hand to pay, we are never disap-
pointed. We have ever found him to
be a man of his word, and he has at
various times paid subscriptions for
other people, for which he has our
thanks.
The weigh shinty over at the Chap-
man mine accidentally eaught fire and
was burned to the ground, several days
ago. A large quantity of oil stored in
the building was consumed. The de-
feated strikers of Coal Run rendered
every assistance in their power to fight
the flames, for which they deserve
credit. When the strike was ‘on and
company property was frequently
burned by incendiaries, many of the
strikers would stand idly by and ex-
press great joy and satisfaction at the
loss. Quite a difference between then
and now,
When the children rush to the front
gate to meet him, nnd love’s own sun-
shine illuminates the face of his wife
every time she hears his footfalls, you
may take it for granted that he is pure
gold—for his home is a heaven, and a
humbug never gets near the white
throne of God. He may be a rank
atheist and a red flag anarchist, mor-
mon or mugwump, he may buy votes in
blocks of five and bet on the election,
and he may deal from the bottom of
the deck and drink beer till he can’t
tell a silver dollar from a circular saw,
and still be an infinitely better man
than the hypocrite who is all servility
in society, yet makes his home a hell,
who vents upen the helpless heads of
his wife and children the ill-nature he
would like to inflict upon his fellow
man but dares not.—Ex.
The many friends of W. 8. Livengood,
the editor’s brother, will no doubt be
interested in knowing that he has just
severed his connection with the Los
Angeles Daily Times, the largest daily
newspaper in the world, to accept a
position on the Seattle Post-Intelli-
gencer at a salary of $300 per month
and other valuable considerations. He
has hired for four months, dating from
May 15th, and at the end of that period
he will return to his position on the
Los Angeles Times, or remain in Se-
attle, as he sees fit. His position on
The Times is open to him whenever he
wishes to return. W. S. has been on
the editorial staff of the Los Angeles
Times for the last twelve or thirteen
years, prior to which time he did edi-
torial workon the Los Angeles Daily
Herald and Pasadena Daily Union.
County Superintendent Seibert
Re-elected.
The school directors of Somerset
county, in convention assembled at
Somerset, Tuesday afternoon of this
week, re-elected Supt. Seibert and in-
creased his salary from $1850 to $2600
per year. He was elected by acclama-
tion, he being the only candidate. The
increase in salary is a fitting tribute to
Prof. Seibert’s able management of the
schools of our county, and he deserves
all the salary voted to him.
A GOOD SUGGESTION.
Mr. C. B. Wainwright, of Lemon City,
Fla., has written the manufacturers
that much better results are obtained
from the use of Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy in
cases of pain in the stomach colic and
cholera morbus by taking it in water as
hot as it can be drank, That whea
taken in this way the effect is double
in rapidity. “It seems to get at the
right spot instantly,” he says. For sale

Terribly Injured.
Near Garrett, Pa.,, Monday night, O.
0. White, formerly of this place, was
struck by a Baltimore and Ohio freight
locomotive and terribly injured. Both
arms were crushed and his skull frac-
tured. He was taken at once to the
Western Maryland hospital, Cumber-
land, where it was found necessary to
amputate his arms. White was quite
well known here, having worked at
what is called “The Blue Jay Lumber
Camp,” and for the Union Mining Com-
pany. He had been at Garrett but a
short time —Frostburg Journal.

A TRIED/AND TRUE FRIEND.
One Minute Cough Cure cofitains not
an atom of any harmful drug, and it
has been curing Coughs, Colds, Croup
and Whooping Cough so long that it
has proven itself to be a tried and true
friend to the many who use it. Mrs.
Gertrude E. Fenner, Marion, Ind,
says: “Coughing and straining so
weakened me that I run down in
weight from 148 to 92 pounds. After
trying a number of remedies to no
avail, One Minute Cough Cure entirely
cured me.” Sold by E. H. Miller. 5-1
Pal of Milt Sheets Wants Pardon.
Attorneys Valentine Hay and A. L.
G. Hay will make application to the
State Board of Pardons, at Harrisburg,
on May 17th, for a recommendation for
the pardon of Harry Weller, of near
Berlin. It will be remembered that
Weller’s plea of guilty of murder of the
second degree for being in company
with Milt Sheets on the night Augus-
tus Glessner was killed at Berlin in
1899 (and for which Sheets was hanged),
was accepted by the Court, and he was
sentenced to the Western Penitentiary
on March 9, 1899, for a period of ten
years, in which prison he now remains,
WHY SUFFER FROM RHEUMA-
TISM?
Why suffer from rheumatism when
one application of Chamberlain’s Pain
Balm will relieve the pain? The quick
relief which this liniment affords makes
rest and sleep possible! and that alone
is worth many times its cost. Many
who have used it hoping only for a
short relief from suffering have been
happily surprised to find that after
awhile the relief became permanent.
Mrs. V. H. Leggett, of Yam Yum, Ten-
nessee, U. 8S. A, writes. “I am a great
sufferer from rheumatism, all over from
head to foot, and Chamberlain’s Pain
Balm is the only thing that will relieve
the pain.” For sale by E. H. Miller.

News from the Hospital.
The editor of THe Star is much
pleased to announce that he has been
receiving very encouraging news con-
cerning his wife, who is a patient at
the Medico-Chirurgical Hospital, in
Philadelphia, where she recently had a
very serious surgical operation per-
formed. :
Mrs. Livengood has not only been
writing home herself, but we have been
hearing from her doctor and some vis-
iting friends, also.
Dr. Keating writes that Mrs, Liven-
good is making exceedingly good {prog-
ress, adding that she is cheerful, pleas-
ant and a most model patient in every
respect. He writes, also, that she will
be able to sit up in a few days.
Mrs. Livengood writes very feelingly
of the kindness of her doctor and the
nurse attending her, and she says as
anxious as she is to return to the loved
ones at home, she will be very loath to
part with those who are treating her
go kindly at the hospital.
This week she had two visitors, Mrs.
Evora Carr Smith and Mr. F. J. Ans-
pach. We have letters from both of
them, telling that they found the pa-
tient in a very cheerful mood, and we
know that she was greatly pleased and
encouraged by the visits of those two
kind friends. Their kind letters have
brought sunshine and bright hopes into
our home, and we feel deeply grateful
to all who have and are still showing
courtesies and kindness to the good
wife and mother who is dearer than
life itself to the lonely editor.
We know that Mrs. Livengood’s
many friends will be pleased to learn
of her progress, hence these few re-
' marks.
