The husband of the deceased pesides at Friendsville, Md., where he eonducts a hotel.

Niver Coal Company’s works at HMacdonaldton, has our thanks for a mice check to apply on subscription, and he also sends best wishes for the eontinued success of THE STAR.

The lines to these points were opened several days ago, connections having been made with the Somerset County Telephone Company. This is a service that has always been desired by Fayette coun- tians, and one that will be greatly ap- preciated. Constable M. D. Thomas, in making his return to court, Monday last, made information against D. I. Hay for vio- lating the liquor laws. We haven't heard just what the nature of the in- formation is, but hotel men can’t be too careful, as the liquor laws are very strict, and constables must either re- port such violations as come to their notice, or violate their oath of office, thus purjuring themselves, which no conscientious man can do. The women all seem to be greatly in- terested in a Washington dispatch to the effect that Mrs. Roosevelt spends all her time of late sitting on the ve- randa, always with a dainty bit of sew- ing in her hand, and with an expectant look on her face. The dispatch adds that she will do no entertaining this summer. The women may understand this, but of course the thick-headed men think it’s a small thing to create so much interest, says an exchange. It is astonishing how many people appear to think that it is «the business of a newspaper to jump in and lambast everything in sight at the request of any modest individual who has not the nerve to move a hen off her nest. If any honest man has occasion to rake a brother citizen over the coals on aec- count of a personal or public griev- ance, hecan send in a letter over his own name, and if it is not a libel, we shall let him see how it looks in print. All who have been paying money on account to THE STAR, lately, have been doing something that we greatly ap- preciate, doubly appreciate at this time, as we have lately been at very great expense. Gentle reader, if you have any money in your elothes that you are owing to the great luminary, won’t you please hand it over tous? We will guarantee to put it promptly in circa- lation again, as we have many places to put it where it may return to you | again. Prof. C. E. Dickey, a son of Rev. E. | F. Dickey, of Pittsburg, has been ap- | pointed to the deputy superintendency of the public schools in Allegheny county. Mr. Dickey is another success~ ful Somerset ‘countian who has won distinction in our public schools. Prior to his appointment to the superintend- ency he was principal of the Avalon schools, which position be held for a considerable time. He was also prin- cipal of the Salisbury schools some years ago. It is difficult to cure a cough or free yourself from the discomforts of a cold unless you move the bowels. 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 A 4-year-old boy went to church for the first time. The pulpit happened to be of the kind with a railing across the front; and the minister happened to allow his enthusiasm to carry him away. He shouted and stepped back and forth across the pulpit, gesticulat- ing wildly. The child watched a long time in puzzled silence. Then, sud- denly brightening, turned to his father, with the following information: “Fa- ther, I know what’s the matter with that man. He wants to get out.” Police Justice J. B. Humbird de- clares that of one thousand cases tried before hini, nine hundred and ninety were the result of liquor, which is licensed to be sold because it is a ben- efit to the country. Now how many of these men were able to pay the costs? How much did it cost the city and state to arrest and try these cases and board the prisoners? Subtract the licenses from the costs and see where the city, county and state get “in the hole” by sanctioning and allowing the sale of whiskey, ete. But it makes business !'—Cumberland Courier. 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 Lick Supply Co. 6-1 Governcr Pennypacker has signed a bill passed by the last Legislature that should interest borough authorities all over the state, and as soon as the law becomes effective, they should see that it is enforced. We give the text of the measure: “Authorizing boroughs to require the grading, paving, repaving and repairing of sidewalks, and the construction and repairing of curbs and gutters by the owner or owners of lots fronting thereon, and providing that in case of failure to comply with such requirements the borough may cause the work tobe done and collect the cost and charges. Jee’s Since this paper published an item two weeks ago about a one-half cent piece of old coinage, ancient coins have been turning up at places least expect- ed. The oldest of these was shown us on Monday morning by George Lichty, the venerable Somerset township farm- er, who has two pieces of silver of Ger- man coinage, one bearing date of 1779, and the other of 1811. Mr. Lichty says the money was given to him by his grandfather—Joseph Lichty—when be was a boy ten years of age, and that unlike some people, he has never spent his last cent since that time. He has carried the coin for sixty-four years.— Somerset Standard. © The mercantile appraisment for Som- erset county is a pretty badly bungled affair, this year. The newspapers pub- lishing it have Wm. R. Haselbarth, the Salisbury furniture dealer, listed with the Elk Lick township business men. In the restaurant list we find Schramm Bros., \V. D. Thompson and M. A. Wag- ner listed as doing business in Elk Lick, and D. I. Hay as an Elk Lick pool and billiard room proprietor. In the matter of public halls, none is listed for Salisbury, but there is one kere, just the same. If the entire list is as badly bungled as the portion that con- cerns Salisbury and Elk Lick, the whole thing should be revised and republish- ed. Dr. P. F. Shaffer, the well-known Somerset physician, had a hair-raising experience, last Saturday night, while driving over a lonely spot on the Cen- terville road. The night was very dark and the doctor was letting his horse walk, when suddenly some one leaped upon his buggy from the rear and attacked him with a large knife. The doctor grabbed for the knife, and in doing so sustained several ugly cuts on his right hand. He leaped from the buggy, and so did his assailant, when the latter and a confederate escaped into the woods. The doctor says he has been driving over Somerset county all hours of the night for the past fif- teen years, and this was his first ex- perience of that character.—Somerset Standard.
