Last Saturday two men in the em- ploy of the Merchants Coal Company were badly hurt in the mines. One had a leg broken by a fall of bone coal, the other his nose badly mashed. One of the injured men was sent to the Cumberland hospital, and the other to the Connellsville hospital. Both men are foreigners, and one of them worked in mine No. 1, the other in No. 3. The only thing that walks back from the tomb with the mourners and re- fuses to be buried is character. That is true. What a man is survives him. It never can be buried. It stays about the home when his footsteps are heard there no more. It lives in the com- munity where he was known; hence we should take care to build into our character only beautiful things,says an exchange. . The original is always the best—imi- tations are cheap. Bee's Laxative Honey and Tar is the original Laxative Cough Syrup. It is different from all others—it is better than all others—it is better than all others, because it cures all coughs and colds and leaves the system stronger than before. The letter B in red is on every package. Sold by Elk Lick Supply Co. 9-1 Our friend Hugh Denison, the genial inn-keeper, musician, inventor, poet and all-around good fellow, of Glade, Pa., was a paying caller at THE Star office, last Saturday. Mr. Denison ig a representative of the Somerset Herald at present, and is trying to build up the badly demoralized subscription list of that paper. Hugh is a mighty good fellow, and we wish him success at whatever he goes at. Asked to defins the word “gentle- man,” a wise old guy on Smokey Row replied as follows: “A man that’s clean inside and out; who neither looks up to the rich nor down on the poor; who can lose without squealing and who can win without bragging; who is con- siderate of women, children and old people; who is too brave to lie, too generous to cheat, and who takes his share of the world and lets other people have theirs.” The pills that act as a tonic, and not as a drastic purge, are Dewitt’s Little Early Risers. They cure Headache, Constipation, Billiousness, etc. Early Risers are small, easy to take and easy to act—a safe pill. Mack Hamilton, hotel clerk at Valley City, N. D., says: “Two bottles of these Famous Little Pills cured me of chronic constipation.” Good for children or adults. Sold by E. H. Miller, 8-1 While out driving, last Sunday, 1. G. Price and Ben Wagner had a very nar- row escape from serious injury. Their horse became unmanageable, and as it was unsafe to remain in the buggy, both tried to get out as speedily as possible. Ben being badly crippled, he could not do much for himself, but Gust managed to get him out. Ben went headlong down a steep bank among a lot of- rocks, but neither he nor Gust were much hurt. Monday afternoon, as the result of a severe rain storm in the vicinity of Jennings, this county, considerable damage was done property in that place. Running through the town is a small stream, which became a torrent after the rain, carrying along on its surface logs, tree tops, etc., which were piled high in front of the hotel there, and washing away oatbuildings, walks and flooding the lower portion of the mill.—Oakland Republican. 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. Bee’s, the original Laxative Honey and Tar, gently moves the bowels and cures all coughs, colds, croup, etc. Bee’s Laxa- tive Honey and Tar is the original Laxative Cough Syrup. Look for the letter B in red en every package. Sold by Elk Lick Supply Co. 9-1 This year considerable disappoint- ment was expressed by rural mail car- riers that they were not given a holiday on the 4th. Heretofore, their holidays have been announced by special orders, but Postmaster General Cortelyou has now issued an order providing that hereafter service on rural free delivery routes shall be suspended on New Year’s Day, Washington’s Birthday, Decoration Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day and Thanksgiving Day. Luther Anderson is quite sick, and at lost report he showed strong symptoms of typhoid fever, of which there is a regular epidemic in this town and vicinity at the present time. Cases so far reported are three in the family of Elwood Larue, two in the family of P. L Livengood, two in the family of James Robertson, one each in the families of C. W. Stotler, Frank Liven- good, C. A. Wilt, Charles Musser and others we cannot now recall to memory. Without doubt the handsomest car that has ever been seen at Somerset passed through this place Thursday afternoon, when a party of five were traveling in a sixty-horse power loco- mobile. It was a gasoline car said to have cost $10,000. The tourists started from Bridgeport, Conn., and were on their way to Lafayette, Ind. In cross- ing the mountain from Bedford to Som- erset an average speed of fifteen miles per hour was attained.—Somerset Standard. A week ago Sunday, E. P. Livengood marked the height of a stalk of corn in his field, and last Sunday, again meas- uring it, found that in the seven days it had made the enormous growth of thirty-five inches, or an average of five inches per day. Farmers tell us the weather of the past ten days has not been idyllic for corn growing, but in the language of that eminent philos- opher, Tim Scannell, we guess it has been “going some,” just the same.— Lanark (I1l.) Gazette. Dr. Charles Beachy, of Grantsville, who was here and at the Park attend- ing the camp-meeting, which closed Monday night, was a very pleasant caller at this office yesterday after- noon. Dr. Beachy has forsaken his profession for the ministry and is pre- paring himself to enter actively in work for the salvation of souls. He has the well wishes of many friends in Oakland for his success in the laudable under- taking before him. He is an entertain- ing talker, and his labors no doubt will be crowned with great success.—Oak- land Republican. Road-repairing is more expensive in Salisbury borough than ever, this year. Our old Shanghai of a street commis- sioner is the most expensive and gen- erally no-account official monstrosity that this borough has ever had. Some of the fellows that voted for him are howling the loudest, and they see their mistake now. Men are being paid for killing time, and the money of the over-burdened taxpayers is being ruth- lessly wasted. The Council ought to “fire” Commissioner Newman bodily, and they will not do their duty unless they do “fire” him. A western editor hits the nail on the head when he says that “too many merchants look upon advertising as a scheme to help the editor. With rural delivery and department stores send- ing out tons of advertising matter, the country merchant must have the goods and the prices, and he must advertise or ge. run over in the march of civili- zation. His rents are less, his help costs less, and he ean compete with the city retailer and pay his advertising. too, and the time has come when he absolutely has todo it. Country mer- chants are finding this out and taking advantage of it. Get into the band wagon, or the automobile will butt you into the middle of next week.” The Lewis and Clark Exposition has naturally brought out many interest- ing facts in regard to Portland and the Pacific Coast. Not least interesting among these is the story of the naming of Portland, and it also, fortunately, is in a way on exhibition in the Oregon Hotel in the shape of a big, old-time copper cent, dated 1835, the flipping of which resulted in the name Portland being chosen as the name of what is now a great city. The story goes that a man from Maine, Mr. Pettygrove, father of the present owner of the his- toric penny, and a Mr. Lovejoy, of Massachusetts, who were the leaders of a party of settlers who sailed up the Columbia River in the bark Trenton, in which they had rounded Cape Horn, came in 1842 to the present site of the city of Portland, where they deter- mined to start a city. Mr. Lovejoy wanted to name the city Boston, but the man from Main preferred Port- land, and to decide the matter they flipped a penny, the same now on ex- hibition. Naturally, the Bostonian chose heads, but tails won, and hence it is the Maine, and not the Massachu- setts city which gave its name to the “City of Roses,” in which the big ex- position is now being held.—New York Tribune. THREE GOOD AND JUST REASONS There are three reasons why mothers prefer One Minute Cough Cure: First, It is absolutely harmless; Second, It tastes good—children love it; Third, It cures Coughs, Croup and Whooping Cough when other remedies fail.
