An old criminal was once asked what

grip on me that I could not shake him

The Tri-State Telephone Company
now has connections with Confluence,
Markleton and all Somerset county

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

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.

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.
