Berkey, Esq., of Somerset, were greatly pleased, last Friday, when they noticed the an- nouncement in the daily papers that he had been appointed by Governor Pennypacker to fill the important and lucrative position of Banking Commis- sioner of this great commonwealth. At the same time came the announcement that Mr. Berkey’s predecessor in that office (Robert McAfee) was elevated to the office of Secretary of the Common- wealth, that office having recently be- come vacant through the death of Sec- retary Frank M. Fuller. Mr. Berkey had been a very promi- nent applicant for the office to which Mr. McAfee has been appointed, which is the most lucrative of all the state offices, and that he came within an ace of landing the “plum” is well known to those who are posted in state polities. ‘| Mr. McAfee was not an applicant for the place, but as his appointment was strongly urged as a peace measure by the warring Republican factions of his county (Allegheny), and the fact that he is a close personal friend of the Governor, he was taken up and given the office at the last moment. The of- fice of Banking Commissioner, thus made vacant, was then tendered to and accepted by Mr. Berkey, as per pre- vious agreement between the Gover- nor, Mr. Berkey and his leading friends. Both appointees are very able men, and their appointment is highly satis- factory to all the true and loyal Re- publicans in the state, regardless of the howls of the mugwump press of this and other counties. The true Re- publicans of Somerset county are par- ticularly interested in Mr. Berkey, as he is a man not only of signal ability as a lawyer and politician, but is also noted for his fine business ability, good judgement and generous, manly im- pulses. He stands in the front rank among Pennsylvania lawyers, and no other man in Somerset county ever gave so much of his time, means and energy for the good of the Republican party as has Mr. Berkey. As a politi- cal leader he is a veritable prodigy, and he, above all others, is responsible for the downfall and almost complete an- nihilation of the corrupt Scull ring, the rotten aggregation of vampires that was responsible for $567-election proc- lamations and the many other padded printing bills and various pieces of of- ficial rascality by which the honest tax- payers of Somerset county were robbed and plundered for many years. With Berkey’s leadership came an end to the selling of postoffices and all maaner of political rake-offs, and all right-thinking people are pleased to see him placed in a position that will at least partially recompense him for the valuable time and energy he has for years been devoting to the welfare of the grand old party. The salary at- tached to his present office is $6,000.00 per year, and, having a competent law partner in the person of C. L. Shaver, he will be able to take care of his state office without being compelled to let his large law practice suffer. John Albert Berkey is the son of a farmer, born in Jefferson township, Somerset county, January 31,1861. He was graduated from the California State Normal School in 1884, and was a teacher in and principal of the Somer- set public schools the three following years. While teaching he read law in the office of ex-Congressman Alexan- der H. Coffroth and was admitted to the Somerset bar in 1889. In 1892 he was elected to the office of District Attor- ney, and after the expiration of his term he applied himself to the practice of his profession with such zeal that his practice has since been second to none in Scmerset county. In 1898 the Republican faction of which he is one store ; guaranteed. of the leaders secured control of the county and has remained in control since. Mr. Berkey was elected Chair- man of the Republican County Com- mittee in 1899, and since that time has been a member of the Republican State Committee. He received the en- dorsement of Somerset county for the Republican nomination for Congress in 1902. He was beaten by A. F. Cooper, who has once been re-elected and is seeking a third term. Along with his legal practice Mr. Berkey has invested in many business enterprises. He is interested in” several hotel properties in Somerset county and owns other real estate. He served as District At- torney two terms, from 1892 to 1898. ee PECULIAR DISAPPEARANCE. J. D. Runyan, of Batlerville, O., laid the peculiar disappearance of his pain- ful symptoms of indigestion and bili- ousness, to Dr. King’s New Life Pills. He says: “They are a perfect remedy for dizziness, sour stomach, headache, constipation, ete.” Guaranteed at E. H. Miller’s drug store, price 25¢. 9-1 AND the blow almost killed “Tim- mie” when J. A. Berkey was appointed Banking Commissioner by Governor Pennypacker. It was the Scull broth- ers, you know, who took the Governor out for a drive when he attended the P. N. G. encampment, at Somerset, a few years ago, and on that account they imagined that they were highly honored and had a great stand-in with the Gov- ernor. They make all kinds of sour-grape grimaces at Mr. Berkey’s appointment, and they also make threats, likewise blanked fools of themselves. Then, at other times in their great consterna- tion, they try to console themselves with the pretended idea that the ap- pointment is really Berkey’s finish, and the way they denounce Penrose and others whosee praises they were con- tinually singing a few years ago, is in- deed laughable. Poor “Timmie” and “Bob” are out of a job,and for “Bobbie” and “Tim” chances are slim. We great- ly enjoy the wails coming from the po- litical scrap heap, under which none are harder or more justly squeezed than the Scull boys. FIENDISH SUFFERING is ofted caused by sores, ulcers and can- cers that eat away your skin. Wm. Bedell, of Flat Rock, Mich., says: “I have used Bucklen’s Arnica Salve, for Ulcers, Sores and Cancers. It is the best healing dressing I ever found.” Soothes and heals cuts, burns and sealds. 25c. at E. H. Miller's drug 9-1 THE ART OF “DOING” PEOPLE. Under this head THe Star will from week to week expose some of the fraud- ulent advertising schemes by which shrewd charlatans in various cities and towns gather in the hard-earned coin of unsuspecting persons who are usual- ly on the lookout to get something of considerable value for a trifling con- sideration, or who are looking for easy employment at good wages. Read this column closely, as it may save you from being a “sucker” and foolishly parting with your money. THE WORK-AT-HOME SCHEME. The chance te earn a few dollars a week without leaving home appeals to many women whose household duties occupy the greater part of their day- light hours. Unfortunately the work- at-home scheme catches not only the woman whose object is merely to earn a little pin-money, and who, in many cases, can afford to lose a dollar or two without suffering any hardship as a consequence ; but it gathers in as well the working-girl eager to add to her scanty earnings by engaging in some remunerative work at home. The work-at-home scheme is operat- ed in a variety of ways, but the under- lying principle is the same in all cases. Sometimes the work to be done con- sists in embroidering doilies or in mak- ing lace, and in other cases it consists of filling in with gilt paint price-tickets printed in outline. In all cases the work is described as easy, the adver- tisements assuring the reader that ex- perience is unnecessary. In all cases, too, the victim is obliged to buy, from the promoters of the scheme, “materi- als” or a lace-making machine or some other object before she is given any work. The following description of a scheme against which a fraud order was issued last May will make clear the methods pursued by all fakirs of the work-at-home class. The adver- tisement in this case reads as follows: OME WORK. $9.00 to $15.00; no canvass- ing; $5.00 to $6.00 weekly working even- ings; experience unnecessary. Knclose stamps for instructions,samples, etc. Ad- dress B. WILSON & CO, 603 Walnut St, Phila., Pa. To those who reply to this advertise ment a circular letter is sent stating that the work required consists in fill- ing in with bronze paint, store window price-tickets printed in outline, one of which, partly filled in, is inclosed as a sample. The circular states that ithe work is easily done, requires no pre- vious experience, and that all that is necessary is to do the work in a neat manner. Two dollars and a half per hundred is offered for tickets filled in as described, and the prospective vic- tim is assured that she can easily gild at least one hundred tickets a day. She will require an “outfit,” of course, the cost of which is generously put at the remarkably low price of $1.10. In return for her dollar-ten the victim re- ceives a handful of window tickets, a small bottle of bronze paint and a brush for applying it—the actual value of the articles furnished, including postage, being fully covered by the extra ten cents. The worst, however, is yet to come. When the woman hav- ing parted with her money and having spent her time filling in the handful of tickets sent her, returns them, at her own expense, she receives, not a check in payment for the work done, but a circular letter stating that her work is “unsatisfactory.” She may possess the talent of a Rosa Bonheur and a depart- ment store ticket-writer rolled into one, but she will never succeed in sell- ing a cent’s worth of bronzed price- tickets to the fakirs who sold her the “outfit.” Their business is not to buy. but to sell, and her fate is not to sell, to be sold. PUBLIC IS AROUSED. The public is aroused to a knowledge of the curative merits of that great medicinal tonic, Electric Bitters, for sick stomach, liver and kidneys. Mary H. Walters, of 546 St. Clair Ave., Co- lumbus, O., writes: “For several months, I was given up to die. I had fever and ague, my nerves were wreck- ed; I could not sleep, and my stomach was so weak from useless doctors’ drugs, that I could noteat. Soon after beginning to take Electric Bitters, I obtained relief, and in a short time I was entirely cured.” Guaranteed at E. H. Miller’s drug store ; price 50c. 9-1 The Walter Williams Poker Check Affair. Several opinions were filed in the Prothonotary’s office, Wednesday morn- ing, by Judge Kooser. Among the cases passed upon was that of the Scottdale First National Bank against J. W. Williams, of Salis- bury, which involves the collection of a check for $650. The check was given in April of this year by Williams in favor of Philip Kromer, of Scottdale, who had it cashed at the above bank the following morning. When the bank undertook to make a collection where Williams made his deposits, he had stopped payment. He set up an affi- davit of defense in which he alleges that the check was given on the night of April 6th to Kroner as a pawn in a poker game while he had been under the influence of liquor and a drug, which he believed Lupton Frantz, one of the parties in the game, had admin- istered to him, and because it was a gambling debt it was non-collectable. A rule was issued on the defendant to show cause why judgment for the amount of the check should not be en- tered against him, and Judge Kooser has discharged the rule. The Bank probably will bring suit against Wil- liams.—Somerset Standard. DANGEROUS AND UNCERTAIN. For sunburn, tetter and all skin and gealp diseases, DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve has no equal. It is a certain cure for blind, bleeding, itching and protruding piles. It will draw the fire out of a burn and heal without leaving a scar. Boils, old sores, carbuncles, ete., are quickly cured by the use of the genuine DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve. Accept no substitute, as they are often dangerous and uncertain. Sold by E. H. Miller. 9-1 May be Tried Else- where. The following from the New Bloom- field (Perry county) Times we publish as a caution to the readers of Tae STAR, as the same game may be tried elsewhere: “The readers of the Times should be on the lookout for a swindler, who is going about representing himself as an agent of the Larkin Company and of- fering to all a combination that causes almost any one with the money handy to buy. His offer is a lot of pills, a sewing machine and twenty-five yards of carpet, all for the sum of ten dollars. He delivers the pills and agrees to send the other goods, but they never come, and the victim has the pills and Same Game is out of the money.” TN
