The Kansas City Journal says a young lady stepped into a Jefferson City drug store the other day and asked how to take a dose of castor oil without tasting it. The proprietor fooled around a little while and then asked her if she would like a glass of lemonade. Of course, she would. Then he wanted to know if she tasted the castor oil. “Heavens, no!” she ex- claimed. “Did you putit in the lem- onade?” He told her he had. “Ohs Lord! I wanted it for my mother,” she groaned, as she began to spring for home. The proprietor is still hiding out. {All old-time cough syrups were de- signed to treat throat, lung and bron- chial affections without.due regard for the stomach and bowels, hence most of them produce constipation.

This is only his second visit back since he left, the first one having been about 22 years ago. He expects to remain some weeks with friends and relatives in this section. He is a cousin of Judge M. W. Keim, of the Seventeenth ward, and a brother of Elder David Keim, a prominent Mennonite churchman in the southern portion of Somerset county.—Johnstown Democrat. On Monday evening a young son of Luther Romesburg was caught in the act of stealing a lot of pocket knives from Mrs. C. T. Hay’s variety store. The lad fled from the building with the knives as soon as he saw that he was detected, but he was closely pursued by a lot of other boys who were started in pursuit of the young thief. He was captured at the intersection of Smith avenue and Ord street, but was promptly rescued from his captors by a man who was passing by and did not know of the boy’s theft. As soon as he was liberated he again took to his heals, but the pursuing lads captured him ssecond time near M. J. Glotfelty’s residence. Mr. Glotfelty seeing the scuffle, and net knowing anything of the, theft, -also made the other boys release their prisoner. Thus “Romesy” was enabled to reach his home in safety, but the next day he was locked up in the borough bastile, from which he was liberated in the evening. The knives were tossed away when the young thief saw he was going to be oaptured, but most of them have been recovered by the owner. Young Romesburg is a very bad boy, and if he keeps on in his present career he will surely land in state’s prison. A BAD SCARE.

Anspach, which occurred at 5:20 p. m., yesterday, in Philadelphia. We have learned no particulars, but knew that he had been ill with rheumatism. Just as we go to press we are in receipt of a card from his son, conveying the sad tidings of his death. We will try to pay a fitting tribute to our dear old friend in our next issue. Demonstration Didn’t Work. A demonstration was given in fire- fighting, opposite the Palace hotel, Monday evening, when two agents in- tended to show the merits of hand ex- tinguishers. The representatives pour- ed oil over some boxes and allowed the flames to get such a headway that all efforts to extinguish them with the “world-renowned” hand grenades were futile, and amid the guys and jeers of the crowd, the “oily-tongued” agents slipped back of the crowd and left the town in utter disgust.—Windber Era. .———ii Deadloek in School Board. The Salisbury School Board had quite a monkey and parret time of it, last week, over the matter of hiring a principal for the coming school term. There were six applicants for the po- sition, but only two of them were con- sidered by the board, and every ballot taken showed three votes for Prof. O. O. Saylor and the same number for Prof. Pool, who was elected principal of the Salisbury schools last year, but went back on his engagement to accept | a better position at Holidaysburg. The supporters of Pool were Dr. A. M. Lichty, C. T. Hay and A. B. New- man, and the supporters of Saylor were 1. J. Engle, C. 8S. Lichliter and 8S. R. McKinley. Had Pool not gone back on his engagement, last year, he would have been an easy winner, but some of the directors were not yet ready to for- give him for going back on them only about a year ago. It is openly charged by some of the directors that other members of the board are trying to drag church mat- ters into the selection of a principal, and those charges are met by counter charges of mixing factional polities with school matters. THE Star believes that there is more or less truth in all of the charges, and we don’t care a straw which gang wins out, However, we were much pleased when the board voted to drop both Saylor and Pool, which was done at their meeting, last Saturday night. Most of our citizens do not seem to want either of them for principal, and we think the board did well to drop them both and calla meeting for next Saturday night, when other candidates are to be balloted for. on Irons Mountain, Capital stock..$ 50,000. 00 Surplus fund.. 60,000.00 Deposits (over) Sy 960.000.00 Assets (over).. 1,088.000.00 Shes 0 PARTME .
