However, we wish him success in his new location. Nearly everybody’s garden truck froze last Sunday night, except the editor's. We can’t account for it, un- less the fact that we didn’t plant any- thing until the day before the frost, may have had something to do with the case. The early bird catches the worm, but the late frost catches the early garden. 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 haslong been recognized in the treatment of diseases of the bladder and kidneys. One dose of Pineules will give relief, and one | bottle will cure.

Over in West Virginia the game of apple is very popular among young people. This is the way it is played: A young man calls on his girl and takes along a small red apple. At the proper time he tosses the apple in the air. If it comes down, he kisses the girl. If it stays up, he does not. ’s “dead easy,” and the girls all like the game.

A sixty thousand candle-power search- light, surrounded by several hundred incandescent lamps, will be mounted on the summit of the peak the coming summer. Electrical experts say that light will be visible for one hundred and fifty miles over the plains. This light will be installed as a resort at- traction, and the current will be fur- nished from Manitou. The Board of Pardons has refused the application of Harry Weller, of Berlin, sentenced to the penitentiary in 1900 for ten years for the murder of Augustus Glessner, of Allegheny town- ship. It will be remembered that Weller was permitted to enter a plea of guilty of murder of the second de- gree and was used as a witness against “Milt” Sheets, who was executed in April 1901, for the Glessner murder. The refusal was just and proper. 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 comesits 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 C. W. Allen, Traveling Passenger Agent of the B. & O. R. R., was a pleas- ant caller at Tk Star office, yesterday. He pronounces T:HE STAR a very cred- itable newspaper, and he left some ad- vertising matter to be inserted for the benefit of the German Baptist Breth- ren Annual Meeting, which »ppenrs elsewhere in this issue. Mr. Allen came to Salisbury with Elder Silas Hoover, and both were here in the in- terest of the B..& O. and the Annual Meeting aforesaid. Thomas Ringler, of Kantner, while ploughing on his farm a few days ago, struck na piece of wood which Le thought was a part of a stump. He got his pick and went to work to re- move it, but after investigation it prov- ed to be a wooden box which contained about 150 pounds of the old-fashioned musket balls. It issuppozed they were buried there by soldiers on their way to I't. Duquesne, about 150 years ago. Mr. Ringler prizes the relies very high- Bee's | | ly.—Somerset Herald.

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.

Sold by Elk Lick Supply Co. 6-1 It has been officially announced that beginning to-morrow the engines and crews known as the “Meyersdale help- ers,” employed in pushing trains over the mountain, will be stationed at Rockwood instead of Meyersdale; whereat some of the men who own and occupy houses in the “Metropolis” are making vigorous but unavailing pro- tests. This is simply the beginning of a well known purpose of the B. & O. management to make Rockwood the center of the company’s interest in Somerset county.—Gazette. ine A western publisher truthfully re- marks: “Print the grandest sermon that ever fell from inspired lips, and | screamed not 20 per cent., even of the professed- ly pious, will read it; print a detailed account of some female bunco game or a sensational divorce in high life, and 99 per cent. of the very elect will make a dive for the paper before breakfast, swoop down on it like a hungry nigger’ on a bowl of crab soup, every word, then roll their eyes heavenward, like a calf with the colic, and wonder what this wicked old world is coming to.” devour There arc boys so thoughtlessly cruel, or cruelly thoughtless, as to go about with guns trying to kill the song birds. Not only is it unlawful to kill blue- birds, larks, woodpeckers, thrushes, orioles and many other familiar feath- ered songsters, but it is cruel and bar- barous in the extreme. No kind-heart- ed, right-minded person would want to slaughter the songbird. The law seeks to protect the songbirds, and every in- telligent citizen should seek to aid in checking the brutal warfare that so many boys wage in spite of the state Jaws passed to guard these little creat- ures that are most useful to man, as well as giving attraction to lawn, field and forest by their presence. Two very large corps of engineers have within the past few days been started to work by the Baltimore & Ohio, one with headquarters at Con- nellsville, and one at Uniontown. It is believed in that section that their arrival is connected with the proposed activity on the part of the Wabash interests in the completing the line through Washington and Greene coun- ties, tapping the coke region aud ex- tending to a connection with the sea- board system of the Wabash. It is possible, also, that these engineers pro- pose to do some work in connection with the cut-off the Baltimore & Ohio will build by way of Confluence and Fairmont.—Confluence News. The American Flag Association in ac- cordance with its custom of the past eight years, respectfully reminds you that Wednesday, June 14, 1905, will be the 128th anniversary of the adoption of the stars and stripes as the flag of the United States; and inspired by the increased public recognition of flag day as a national anniversary, earnestly requests your co-operation in securing the widest possible observance this year. Mayors are requested to order flags to be displayed upon the munici- pal buildings of their respective cities. and by formal proclamation, or other- wise, to invite their fellow citizens to do the same thing upon their private buildings. School officers and teachers are requested to arrange for patriotic exercises appropriate to the day. Small dark red bugs by the thousand suddenly made their appearance on the truit trees round about Windber, Saturday and Sanday, and they almost rival in destructiveness the canker | worm which played havoc with the tender leaves of the fruit trees, last year. The insects in a comparatively short time leave nothing but the veins and coarse stems of the leaves, and these pests have considerably the ad- vantage over the canker worms in that they can fly. Farmers who hope to preserve their trees against the ravages of the new pest should spray their trees freely. with just as strong a so- lution as the trees will bear. Garden vegetables and shrubbery are not exempt from the aciack of the new foe to vegetation. and they are frequently found on the smaller vegetables, says the Windber Era. “True io the Flag.) a play rendered almost entirely by Meyersdale talent, in the Salisbury opera house, Monday pight, drew only a small audience, but the play was tolerably well rendered, It was gotten up for the benefit of the Sons of Veterans, and for that reason the borough authorities charged no li- cense fee. The promoters also asked for a nice advertisement in THE Star, which was given them, but for which they did not have manners enough to say “thank you.” ~ Some of the troupe also violated a borough ordinance by discharging some guns on the street shortly after climbing into their wagon, preparatory to leaving town, and other- wise making fools of themselves. Some of the girls in the party yelled and about town like a set of drunken “chippies,” and the aggreza- tion got out of town just in time to keep some of their number from being “run in.” Warrants will yet be issued for the arrest of the who did the shooting, if their names can be certained. persons ns- A Pretty Wedding. On Wednesday evening at six o'clock, May 24, 1905, Mr. Ralph Keller Jenkins and Miss Annie Violet Stephen were united in holy wedlock at the home of Mrs. J. W. Blocher, near Grantsville, Md. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Homer S. May, pastor of the bride and groom, in the presence of about fourty-five guests. = The attendants were Mr. Irvin O. and Miss Mary E. Blocher. The wedding march was played by Miss Jessie C. Harnish, After the ceremony and the well wishes of the guests, the hostess, Mrs. Blocher, had the company led to the dining room, where a most bountiful supper was served. The bride received a number of use- ful gifts. The young couple will reside in the Blocher home and have charge of the farm. We wish them joy. Mrs. Blocher will remove, with her family, to Grantsville. I IHN ORY. SAVINGS DEPARTME Drafts on all parts of the world. Accounts of individuals and firms invited.
