Rees, of Meyersdale, died several days ago. She was a daughter of the late Manasses Miller. She is survived by her husband and a couple of children. Scott Livengood returned from Graf- ton, W. Va., last week, where he had been visiting his brother “Ben.” Scott says Grafton is a great place for rail- roads, engines and cars. Good roads are now the greatest es- sentials of country life. For the same expense nothing affords greater pleas- ure, greater comfort, or greater re- turns in money than good roads. The most pleasant and positive cure for indigestion, heartburn and all stomach troubles is Ring’s Dyspepsia Tablets. They aid digestion, tone and strengthen the stomach. Sold by Elk Lick Supply Co. 9-1 On Monday last quite a number of the little tots were finely entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Livengood, on Grant street, the occa- sion being a birthday party for their Bittle daughter, Frieda. A girl said to her father lately: “Ever hear the story of the bed?” The father said he had not. “You lie there,” the girl replied. But before the father “saw it,” be thought he had been called a liar, and whipped his child. One dose of Pineules taken at bed- time will entirely relieve the most ob- stinate case of backache before morn- ing. Pineules is a certain cure for all kidney and bladder troubles.

Y., and other places, but his many friends all welcome his return. It was “the Roman will to find a way or make it” that has left its highways to be a memorial of that empire while time shall last.

It reaches the spot, stops pain instantly, and cures all kinds of blind, bleeding, itching or pro- truding piles. Sold by Elk Lick Sup- ply Co. 9-1 It seems to us that at least one member of the Brethren church ought to get tired of the rank growth of weeds in front of and along the east side of the church. A growth of weeds like that gives any place a very un- sightly and uninviting appearance. Miss Eva Livengood came home from Lynchburg, Va., Tuesday last, and will spend her vacation with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John J. Livengood. Cous- in Eva is still holding down a good po- sition as stenographer, with Guggen- heimer & Co., wholesale merchants. Pineules contain the alterative and diuretic properties found in the native pine.

Sole by Elk Lick Supply Co. 9-1 The good roads movement is human- itarian. The country lane is the way to nature’s throbbing heart. It makes man bigger, better, brighter to breathe the pure air of Heaven, sniff the fra- grance of new-mown hay and listen to the carols of the woodland songsters. On Saturday, the 26th, two fine pic- nics will be held. One at Jennings, Md., by the Modern Woodmen of America, the other in Salisbury, by the German Beneficial Union. Lots of fun will be on tap at both places, and at each place no efforts will be spared to show everybody a good time. Burtin Blough is erecting a fine six- room house in the M. Hay addition to this borough. Burtin is a hard-work- ing young man who takes care of his earnings, and he is now demonstrating what a young laboring man can ac- complish if he doesn’t fool his money away for booze and other foolishness. Every man owes it tohimself and his family to master a trade or profession.

Barchus, Drug- gist Miller, Dr. A. M. Lichty and Har- vey Fogle went down to the Potomac, near Paw Paw, W. Va., this week, to lure some of the big bass, pike and other fish from their nests in the wa- ters of that historic stream. A fellow ought to be able to get some big fish (stories) from an aggregation like that. A pleasant picnic party was gotten up yesterday by about thirty-five friends of Miss Ruth Billmeyer, of Cumberland, Md. who is here on a visit with her mother, Mrs. Frank Bill- meyer. The picnic was held in the Beachy grove, and a very nice time is reported. Some of the party was com- posed of grown people, as the occasion was partly in honor of Mrs. Billmeyer’s birthday. Berlin can boast of being the cham- pion town in the county in other things than baseball. In conversation with two gentlemen who have long re- sided in Berlin, the other evening, we learned the startling fact that our town has within her bordess 110 widows, 40 old maids, and 31 bachelors. The cen- sus taken was a mental one, and some of the old maids may have escaped enumeration.—Berlin Gleaner. Mr. and Mrs. James D. Boyd, of Iowa, are visiting friends in this vicinity. Both were born and reared in old Som- erset county. The place where Mr. Boyd was born and reared is the farm now owned and occupied by our old friend John J. Blake, near Boynton, but he emigrated to Iowa 39 years ago, where he has prospered nicely, acquir- ed a lot of valuable farm land, and is now living on “Easy. street.” Mrs. Boyd is a daughter of David Beachley. The Pennsylvania railroad leads all other railroads in the world in the number of locomotives owned. The company has in service on the lines east of Pittsburg, 3,700; and west of Pittsburg, 1,600, a total of 5300 loco- motives. Besides these it placed early in the year an order with the Baldwin Locomotive Works for the construec- tion of 525 locomotives, and is building at its shops at Altoona 168 more. All of these are to be completed this year. 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. 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 on every package. Sold by Elk Lick Supply Co. 9-1 Lester Fair, of West Salisbury, died yesterday morning at 8 o'clock, aged almost 15 years. The poor lad had been suffering with typhoid fever, hip disease and tuberculosis, but he was a patient sufferer and bore his afflictions bravely. He was akind-hearted, bright boy, greatly esteemed by all who knew him. He was ason of Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Fair. The funeral service will be held at St. John’s Reformed church, Friday afternoon, at 3 o’clock. 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 At Annandale, N. J., a church festival was being held and some one dumped a gallon of applejack into the lemon- ade jar. It was not noticed until some of the young people began to perform queer antics. Old men and women were shocked at the high kicking and skirt dances indulged in by the young ladies. The boys carried on shame- fully from the effects of the mixed drinks. Tt is reported that arrests will be made, as the guilty one has been discovered. On Monday evening several young men were seen in a buggy on our streets, in a very hilarious condition, and all seemed to be too drunk for anything but to abuse the poor horse they were driving and make disgusting fools of themselves. They were very properly gathered in by Officer Thomas, who had the horse stabled at the Val- ley House, and the boys had to settle with the borough at Burgess Liven- good’s trim shop. It is said that they will have another bill to settle with a Meyersdale liveryman, and it ought to be a pretty stiff one, too. A hog in Arkansas had always fed under the cars loaded with grain, but last summer, while eating as usual, the train started and caught bim, cut- ting off a leg. Several boys amputated it, and when healed got a piece of rub- ber hose, sewed the bottom end and filled it with sawdust. They then at- tached the hose to the stump, and the hog can now be seen running around the cars at Malden, Mo., as lively as ever. This story is worthy of record for two reasons. First, as showing boys doing the Good Samaritan act, when their usual role is that of the cruel Philistine. Secondly, their rude but ingenious surgery, which indicates that there is the making of a good doc- tor in that crowd. Last Sunday night two young rascals whose identity is pretty well known, broke J. T. Jeffery’s chewing gum slot machine loose from his store building, carried it about a mile east of town, where it was demolished. robbed of its contents and then thrown into one of the Simpkins fields, where it was found. Mr. Jeffery thinks there couldn’t have been more than about 25 cents in the machine, but there was a pretty good supply of chewing guminit. The same night one of Richard Glotfelty’s borses was taken from the stable, ridden to Sand Patch, and then turned loose. It is believed that the same persons who robbed the slot machine also took the horse, and both are supposed to be young fellows residing some distance east of town. Labor Day will be appropriately cel- ebrated this year, at West Salisbury, by holding a nice picnic and celebra- tion on the lawn surrounding St. Michael’s Catholic church. The affair will be conducted under the auspices of St. Michael's congregation, and an appropriate address will be made by Rev. Father ‘Welch. Dinner and re- freshments will be served on the grounds, and a game of baseball will be played between nines from Frost- burg and Salisbury. Thera will be many other picnic attractions, and a cordial invitation is extended to the general public. To spend the day as it should be spent, we know of no better place to go, for the St. Michael’s con- gregation has a reputation for doing things right and making everybody feel welcome on such occasions. In remitting for THE STAR, M. P. Lichty, of North Dakota, writes: “We are having the hotest August weather that I have experienced since coming to this state. Our big harvest is here now, and the busy season is on. Har- vest hands are coming in by trainloads. It will require about 10,000 hands to secure the big crops of the whole state. The Nebraska men mentioned in last week’s STAR should have come through here, being they were so near. They would have seen something worth re- membering. Elias B. Lichty, of Bar- low, this state, and son of Wm. H. Lichty, and grandson of the late Joseph C. Lichty, of Milford township, Pa, came up here last week and bought a fine half-section farm cornering on mine on the southeast. He was out in Oregon, Washington and Idaho, but could not suit himself as weil as here. He paid $8,000, part cash, part pay- ments.” TAKE KODOL OL 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.
