The southwestern crop estimate is 104.000,000 bushels ot winter wheat. Wm. A. Kagn and W. G. Donges, who used to live in Salisbury and Garrett, recently moved from the latter place to Pittsburg, where THE STAR will visit them weekly. Mr. Kann sends his kind regards and best wishes, and we wish both families success in their new location. All old-time cough syrups were de- signed to treat throat, lung and bron- chial affections withoutjdue regard for the stomach and bowels, hence most of them produce constipation.

Sold by Elk Lick Supply Co. 9-1 The editor of this paper isn’t much of a horse-fancier, and seldom pays any attention to a horse; but we couldn’t help noticing and admiring a beautiful and thoroughbred equine brought to town last Monday evening, from Lexington, Ky., by C. H. Jen- nings, the well known lumberman. It was the handsomest horse seen in Sal- isbury for many a day. There are more deaf-mutes than blind in the United States by about 10,000. On the other hand there are more blind in one eye than semi-mutes (deaf but able to speak) by about 10, 000. It may be a matter of interest to know that the proportion of the deaf is greater among the white population, and of the blind is greater among the colored.—California News. In a gang of laborers, one hot day last week, one man was working with his hat off. The boss came along and said: “Mike, why don’t you put on your hat? Don’t you know your brains are liable to be affected in this kind of weather unless you protect your head?” “Begorrah! if I had any brains,do you think I'd be workin’ on such a day as this?” said Mike.—Cumberland Courier.

Sold by Elk Lick Sup- ply Co. 9-1 Last Saturday Superintendent Gar- rett, of the Merchants Coal Company, went east on a vacation. He will re- main about three weeks, and THE Star and his many other friends wish him a very pleasant vacation. Mr. Garrett's position has been a very trying onedur- ing the past two years, owing to the long and bitter miners’ sirike, and he is surely entitled to a rest and some recreation. George and John Krausse, who are students of the Williamson School of Mechanical Trades, Delaware county, Pa., arrived home last Sunday morning, and will spend their vacation with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Krausse, who reside on Gay street. The boys like the school and are mak- ing excellent progress in their studies and trades. They will return about the end of this month. Messrs F. P. Beachy, Eli Miller, Ross Lichty, C. J. Lichty and Geo. Dull left Monday morning on a tour of inspec- tion through Assiniboia, Canada. Much is being said of this section, and people are flocking there by the thousands. This delegation can consider them- selves sent as spies, and we hope they will return us a true report and say that we are able to go in and possess the land.—Carleton (Neb.) Leader. Our Town Council did a mighty good job when they took practically all of Street Commissioner Newman’s au- thority from him and passed it over to John W. Ringler, who has charge of the stone crusher and nearly all of the men employed by the borough. Ring- ler knows how to get work out of men and how to make road, while Newman is an expert at killing time and piling up bills for which the borough gets little value. Pineules contain the alterative and diuretic properties found in the native pine. A certain cure for all liver, kid- ney and bladder diseases. A single dose of Pineules will relieve the worst case of backache in one night. Sole by Elk Lick Supply Co. 9-1 A goose 41 years of age is the curi- osity reported from Fannetsburg, and it is certainly one of Franklin county’s remarkables, says the Chambersburg Public Opinion. This venerable goose, however, is feeling the effects of age and can barely move about on its legs. It is owned by Crawford and Miss Anna Everett. The certainty of its age is accounted for from the fact that Everett. Beware of the statement “Selling be- low cost.” The vital question to the you lose. tinually admitting that you are selling that either you do not know your busi- ness well enough to buy right, or that you are deceiving him. In either case his confidence in you is shaken. Bet- ter say “We bought them right, you get the benefit.”—Salesmanship. The Braymer ( Mg.) Bee brought suit against a delinquent subscriber recent- ly in court for several years’ back pay. The case was tried before a jury with eminent lawyers on both sides. The defendant’s plea was that he had noti- fied the postinaster to discontinue the paper and refused to take it from the office. The jurymen were ont but a few minutes when a verdict was ren- dered in favor of the plaintiff, together with the amount of the cost, making a total of $22. The way Lo stop a paper is to pay all arrears and notify the pub- lisher either in person or by letter. 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 And behold some advertisers went forth to advertise. Some carried paint and brushes and besmeared the rocks, fences, gates and barns. The cows, horses and asses admired the artistic colors, and the small boys covered them with mud. Some carried posters both great and small which fell by the wayside and were chewed up by billy goats, pasted on pantry shelves and used for other purposes. None of the advertising paid, and the advertiser snored aloud and sold not, while the advertiser who placed his advertise- ment in the local newspaper, where it was read by all, was kept busy selling goods and banking money.—Ex. In this season of thunderstorms it is interesting if not exactly profitable, to read an ancient interpretation of them. The *“Prognostication Everlasting of one Leonard Digges,” published in 1556, tells us that thunder in the morning denotes wind ; at noon, rain, and in the evening, a great tempest. He goes further still, and declares that “Sun- day’s thunder should bring the death of learned men, judges and others; Monday’s, the death of women; Tues- day’s, plenty of grain; Wednesday's, bloodshed ; Thursday’s, plenty of sheep and corn; Friday’s, the slaughter of a great man and other horrible murders; Saturday’s, a general pestilent plague and great dearth.” TAKE KODOL AFTER EATING. After a hearty meal a dose of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure will prevent an attack of Indigestion. Kodol is a thorough digestant and a guaranteed cure for Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Gas on the Stomach, Weak Heart, Sour Risings, Bad Breath and all Stomach troubles. Sold by E. H.

Big Somerset County Lumber Con- cern Buys New Locomotive. The Babcock Lumber company at Ashtola last week added to its railroad equipment a new 65-ton railroad loco- motive, which was built to order. It is a massive pile, being one of the largest engines ever constructed for a private corporation. The Babcock Lumber company has 30 miles of rail- road which reaches its various lumber tracts. In speaking of the business of the company, President: Edward Vose Babcock said Saturday that during the last three months the output of the big mills broke all records. “The mill is now turning out,” he said, “five million feet of lumber per month, and that’s sawing some,” he added. Mr. and Mrs. Babcock, with their servants, are now occupying the mag- nificent Hemlock Lodge in Ashtola, where they have lavishly entertained Johnstown and Pittsburg friends. THE ONLY WAY.
