Star Man Awarded Second Prize in
Big Poetical Contest.
During the month of May the Colum-
bia Phonograph Company advertised a
poetical contest in the Pittsburg daily
papers, offering four prizes, as follows,
for the best four short poems on the
merits of the Columbia graphophone:
First prize, a $50-graphophone; sec-
ond prize, a $25-graphophone; third
prize, a $15-graphophone ; fourth prize,
a $10-graphophone.
The conditions of the contest were
that no poem was to contain less than
ten nor more than 100 words, the
verses to contain the words “Columbia”
and “graphophone,” and all contestants
agreeing to let the Columbia Phono-
graph Company use their productions
for advertising and other purposes,
should the company see fit to do so.
Many were the contestants, and
numbered among them were persons
who write poems for a living and for
fame and profit. The editor of this
paper has, therefore, a right to feel
proud of winning second prize on a
12-line poem containing 72 words,
which he wrote in about five minutes.
The awards were made by five dis-
interested Pittsburg newspaper men,
who were the judges, and on Tuesday
we received the following letter from
the Columbia Phonograph Company:
PirrsBURG, PA., June 5, 1905.
Mgr. P. L. LiveNGcoop, Elk Lick, Pa.
DEAR Sir: —We beg to inform you
that your effusion on “When You are
Sad and Lone,” entitles you to the
second prize in the Columbia Poem
Contest. This prize is an AZ machine,
valued at $25.00. Whenever you de-
sire the machine to be sent to you,
kindly give us your instructions, and
we shall be pleased to forward same.
Congratulating you on your success,
we are yours very truly,
CoLuMBIA PHONOGRAPH COMPANY.
Following is our poem that took the
second prize:
Whenever you are sad and lone,
Just start the good old graphophone.
Put on a minstrel, song or dance,
Or banjo record, if, perchance,
Such music suits your fancy best.
Perhaps a speech is your request,
Or it may be a noted band,
Or orchestra you’d have at hand.
All things here named, and many more,
The graphophone brings to your door.
The best machine on earth today—
The matchless, grand Columbia.
JUST WHAT EVERYONE SHOULD
Mr. J. T. Barber, of Irwinville, Ga.,
always keeps a bottle of Chamberlain’s
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
at hand ready for instant use. Attacks
of colic, cholera morbus and diarrhoea
come on go suddenly that there is no
time to hunt a doctor or go to the store
for medicine. Mr. Barber says: “I
have tried Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhcea Remedy which is one of
the best medicines I ever saw. I keep
a bottle of it in my room, as I have had
several attacks of colic, and it has
MUST SUPPLY CARS.
U. S. Supreme Court’s Decision Very
Sweeping.
The decision of the United States
Supreme Court in the case of the Xing-
“| wood Coal Company, of West Virginia,
against the Baltimore & Chio Railway,
is very sweeping in its character and
shows that a railroad company must
not discriminate against any small
shipper, but that they must distribute
cars upon a fair basis.
The case of the Kingwood Coal Com-
pany, which is located on a branch of
the Baltimore & Ohio, has been pend-
ing for about two years. The Company
complained that it could not secure
enough cars from the Railroad Com-
pany to ship its coal, and charged that
it was being discriminated against.
This, it said, prevented it from market-
ing its product satisfactorily, while on
the other hand, several of the larger
companies, in which some of the rail-
road’s stockholders were interested, re-
ceived an ample supply of cars. When
the case came up in the United States
Circuit Court, Judge Gog held that
cars must be distributed among the
companies without discrimination, in
proportion to their output, and ordered
the railroad to supply 31 per cent. of
the cars it had on hand to the King-
wood Company, that being its share of
the production of the region, whereas
only 18 per cent. had been sent there
previously. The Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad Company appealed from this
decision, and took the case to the Su-
preme Court, but it was decided against
the railroad company.
HUGE TASK.
It was a huge task to undertake the
cure of such a bad case of kidney dis-
ease, as that of C. F. Collier, of Chero-
kee, Ia., but Electric Bitters did it. He
writes: “My kidneys were so far gone,
I could not sit on a chair without a
cushion; and suffered from dreadful
backache, headache, and depression.
In Electric Bitters, however, I found a
cure, and by them was restored to per-
fect health. I recommend this great
tonic medicine to all with weak kid-
neys, liver or stomach. Guaranteed
by E. H. Miller, druggist ; price 50c.

Neglectful Parents.
Many men and boys, the latter of
whom have been supplied with guns by
their parents, act as if they were not
aware of the fact that there is a law in
this state which prohibits the killing,
wounding, trapping or poisoning of
song birds, and also the destroying of
the eggs and nests of song and wild
birds. The penalty for the violation of
the law in each of the above indicated
cases is a fine of $10 for each and every
offense, and in default of payment, im-
prisonment in the county jail for a pe-
riod of one day for each dollar of pen-
alty imposed. In thie, as in other cases,
ignorance of the law is no excuse to
escape the penalty of its violation.
Parents who provide flobert rifles, gune
or other firearms, with which the lads
are tempted to shoot birds. should
keep in mind the fact that they are
rendering them liable to fine or im-
prisonment.—Berlin Gleaner.
DYING OF FAMINE
is, in its torments, like dying of con-
sumption. The progress of consump-
tion, from the beginning to the very
end, is a long torture, both to vietim
and friends. “When I had consump-
tion in its first stage,” writes Wm.
Myers, of Cearfoss, Md., “after trying
different medicines and a good doctor,
in vain, I at last took Dr. King’s New
Discovery, which quickly and perfectly
cured me.” Prompt relief and sure
cure for coughs, colds, sore throat,
bronchitis, ete. Positively prevents
pneumonia. Guaranteed at E. H.
Miller’s drug store, price 50c. and $1.00
a bottle. Trial bottle free. 7-1
New Sheep Law.
The new sheep law, now in force, has
a number of provisions which differ
from the one formerly in operation.
Heretofore, when dogs killed a farmer’s
sheep, two of his neighbors appraised
the value, but according to the new
law this value is found by the town-
ship auditors. Another new feature is
the fact that the farmer is allowed
fifty cents per head for burying the
carcasses, which must be done within
three days, or he cannot recover any-
thing for his loss.

500 NEW.STEEL CARS.
New Coal Company to Open Big New
Mine on Boswell Branch.
In order to keep pace with its rapid-
ly-increasitig production, the Quema-
honing Company, one of the biggest
mining concerns in Somerset county,
has decided to place an order at once
for 500 steel gondola cars. The new
rolling stock will be used at the com-
pany’s big new mines recently opened
on the Boswell branch of the S. & C.
The mines at this point are shipping
1,000 tons of coal daily, and as soon as
the new cars are received the produc-
tion will be increased to 2.000 tons each
day. D.B. Zimmerman, of Somerset,
is president of the Quemahoning com-
pany.
Another big mine will be in opera-
tion in Somerset county within a week.
The new operations are located on the
Boswell branch, and the capacity will
be 1,500 tons of coal a day. This vol-
ume of business, of course, will not be
the rule at the outset, but a large num-
ber of men will be employed when the
mine is once in operation.
The Somerset Coal Company is the
largest coal mining corporation in
Somerset county, outside of the Ber-
wind-White people. It owns about 20
mines, all of which are working prac-
tically full time.
TEN TIMES EASIER.
It is ten times easier to cure coughe,
croup, whooping-cough and all lung
and bronchial affections when the
bowels are open. Kennedy’s Laxative
Honey and Tar is the original Laxa-
tive Cough Syrup. Gently moves the
bowels, and expels all cold from the
system, cuts the phlegm, cures all
coughs and strengthens weak lungs.
Kennedy's Laxative Honey and Tar
contains no opiates, is pleasant to the
taste and is the best and safest for
child or adult. Sold by E. H. Miller.

Severe Criticism.
Tur SALisBURY STAR of last week,
criticises the members of the local cast
of “True to The Flag,” that went up
there last week to present the same.
Editor Livengood never spares language
when he starts in to criticise, but
it is hard for us to believe that the
young ladies of the cast would act in
the manner he describes, in Salisbury
or any other town, and if they did mis-
behave the comparison drawn is alto-
gethor too severe.—Meyersdale Repub-
ican.
“Ish dot 80?” Well, we beg leave to
differ with Editor Bishop. In the first
place, Editor Bishop did not see the un-
becoming conduct of the girls referred
to, and when he says the comparison
drawn is too severe, he does not know
what he is talking about. When he
passes judgement blindly, as in this
case, he proclaims himself more of a
jay than a judge. But perhaps we
ought to apologize, and we will there-
fore say that perhaps the comparison
drawn is too severe, for we doubt
whether drunken “chippies” would
have acted quite as silly on our streets
as did some of the girls with the Mey-
ersdale show party. Some of the girls
in the party, however, behaved them-
selves very nicely, and we are not find-
ing fault with the whole crowd.
No, we never spare language, Mr.
Bishop, when we criticise, and we gen-
erally try to do nuisances justice. But
we do believe that we spare the “King’s
English” to some extent, and not mur-
der it in the horrible manner you do at
times.
THE CHILDREN’S FAVORITE.

etc., One Minute Cough Cure is the

less, tastes good and cures. Sold by E.

Who Are They?
The average person would like very
much to know just who constitutes the
Somerset Prohibition Alliance, that is
80 active this year in not only prosecut-
ing but persecuting certain hotel men
of this county. It has been mildly
hinted that it is a combination of dis-
gruntled members of the Somerset
County Bar, led by W. H. Ruppel and
assisted by J. Calvin Lowry.—Meyers-
dale Republican.
QUALITY VS. QUANTITY.
Hard muscles and strong body do
not depend on the quantity of food you
eat, but on its perfect digestion and
proper assimilation. When you take
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure your system
gets all the nourishment out of all the
food you eat. It digests what you eat
regardless of the condition of the stom-
ach and conveys the nutrient proper-
ties to the blood and tissues. This
builds up and strengthens the entire
system. Kodol cures Indigestion, Dys-
pepsia, Belching, Sour Stomach, Wesk
Heart, ete. Sold by E. H. Miller, 7-1
