J. 8. Broadwater, of Grantsville, Md.,
who shot himself in the head with a

afternoon of last week, died at about

His age was 56 years and 3 days. The

Keim, and Rev. McCoy, of Grantsville.
The service was attended by a very
large number of people
A teacher in one of our country
schools had a class of young scholars
before her in mathematics. The ex-
amples were in addition and the fol-
lowing illustration was offered by the
teacher: “Now, children, if I lay four
eggs on the desk and Sammy,” she
pointed to a freckle-faced lad at the
head of the class, “should lay three
eggs on the desk, how many would
there be?” The bad boy of the class
who was at the foot and had listened
intently, shouted, “Go on, Sam, take
her up! I don’t think she can do it.”
1t is difficult to cure a cough or free
yourself from the discomforts of a cold
unless you move the bowels. Bee's
Laxative Honey and Tar acts on the
bowels and drives all cold out of the
system. For Croup, Whooping-Cough,
Colds, and all Lung and Bronchial af-
fections, no remedy is equal to the
original Bee's Laxative Honey and Tar.
A Liquid Cold Cure. ~c1d by Elk Lick

Just as we go to press we learn of a
robbery that was committed at Boyn-
ton, last night, when the store of B.7.
Thomas and the Boynton postoffice
were broken open and robbed. We
bave not learned the full particulars,
more than that the doors were pried
open with tools stolen from a small
workshop or tool house owned by the
B. & O. Railrond Company, and that
money amounting to about $40 was
stolen from Mr. Thomas. Some think
the theft was committed by “hoboes”
that were seen in that vicinity several
days ago, while others lay the blame to
local characters.
Here is a good-fellowship story that
is going the rounds: Give a man a 10-
cent cigar, and he will beam all over
and love you for six hours; offer him
the ten cents with which to buy it for
himself, and he will throw it in your
face. Give a man a pass to a show,
and he will call you a good fellow in
all the languages at his disposal; offer
him the money to buy a ticket, and he
will call you a fool. Ask a man to
your home to take “pot-luck,” and he
will jump at the chance; give him two
dollars and tell him to get a good meal
at a cafe with your compliments, and
he will knock you down. The dollar is
mighty, but it isn’t warm. Nothing
chills hospitality and good fellowship
more than a touch of cold metal.
Commenting on the havoc the mail-
order houses are playing with the trade
of the country stores, the editor of
Hardware Trade says: “The catalogue
houses have built up their trade by
the use of pictures and by advertising
prices, making low prices on gocds
with which the consumer is well ac-
quainted and getting the profit baek
on other lines which the consumer
does not know so well. To meet this
competition, the country merchant
must use the same methods as the cat-
alogue house. He must advertise; he
must give prices in his advertisements,
and he must use illustrations whenever
bleeding, itching and protruding piles.

possible. Were it not for the pictures
in the catalogues, the retail catalogue
houses would not sell one half the
goods they do.
Croup is quickly relieved, and Whoop-
ing Cough will not “run its course” if
you use the original Laxative
Honey and Tar. This Cough Syrup is
different from all others because it acts
on the bowels. You can not cure Croup
and Whooping Cough until you rid the
system of all congestion, by working
off the cold through a copious action of
the bowels. Bee’s Laxative Honey and
Tar does this, and cures all Coughs,
Croup, Whooping Cough, etc. No
opiates. Sold by Elk Lick Supply Co.

Rev. A. K. Travis expects to leave
Salisbury for his new charge at Addi-
son, tomorrow, and it is needless to say
that all the good people of Salisbury
and vicinity will be genuinely sorry to
part with the reverend gentleman and
his estimable young bride. Rev. Trav-
is has filled the M. E. pulpit of this
place for nearly two years, and if there
are any people in this town who do not
.ike the genial, warm-hearted, red-
headed Englishman, we do not know
who they are. We wish Mr. and Mrs.
Travis all manner of happiness and
prosperity in their new home, where
Tae Star will visit them weekly, and
if the people of Addison do vot treat
them right, the community ought to be
wiped out by a shower of fire and
brimstone. But the people of Addison
will treat them right, for there are lots
of good people up there.

Bright) and early this morning our
latch string was pulled by Candidates
Ankeny and Zimmerman, who walked
into our den and roasted their shins a
while at the fire which our faithful
devil never allows to burn low when
the weather is cold. “Ankie” and
“Zimmie” are candidates for County
Treasurer and County Commissioner,
respectively, and both are ranning, or
rather creeping, on the Orphans’ and
Citizens’ Union tickets. They don’t
look much like hungry office-seekers,
for both are fat fellows and look like
men that live at their ease and give
hard work a wide berth. However,
both are working the political racket
for all there is in it, and both of them
ought to be in better and more honor-
able business than to be running over
the county trying to disrupt the Re-
publican party. All candidates are
welcome at Tue Star office, and we
try to make all of them feel at home;
but we are glad that we don’t have to
vote for any who seek office on a mon-
grel ticket made up of soreheads and
pledge-breakers. The honest voters of
Somerset county owe the candidates
on the Orphans’ and Citizens’ Union
tickets nothing but a good, thorough
licking at the polls, and that’ is just
what they will give them.
FOR ALL KINDS OF PILES.
To draw the fire out of a burn, heal
a cut without leaving a scar, or to cure
boils, sores, tetter, eczema and all skin
and scalp diseases, use DeWitt’s Witch
Hazel Salve. A specific for blind, bleed-
ing, itching and protruding piles. Stops
the pain instantly and cures perma-
nently. Get the genuine. Sold by E.

The Electric Road.
A Pittsburg capitalist who is now at
the hend of the projected Meyersdale
& Salisbury street railway, was in Sal-
isbury last night and had a meeting
with some of our citizens who are most
interested in the road.
Matters are shaping themselves
nicely now for the completion of the
road in the early spring, and this is
neither a joke nor a dream. We do
not care to state any more at this time,
but that the road will be completed
early next year is now practically an
assured fact.
Albert D. Beachy in a Bad Wreck.
Our friend Albert D. Beachy, of
Chicago, was recently in a most hor-
rible railroad wreck on the Oregon
Short Line, while making a business
tour of some of the Pacific coast states.
The train he was riding on, while
running at high speed, smashed into
another train that was standing on the
same track at Eaton Station, Idaho,
smashing the cars into kindling wood,
killing the engineer and fireman of the
passenger train, also the mail clerk,
and injuring several of the passengers.
How any of the passengers escaped
will always remain a mystery, as the
smash-up of the cars was the most com-
plete that the railroad men who viewed
it had ever seen. In a letter received
from Mr. Beachy, he enclosed a news-
paper clipping telling all about the
wreck, and he adds that kind Provi-
dence was surely in evidence, other-
wise he would have been crushed to
death.
Well, we congratulate our friend on
his fortunate escape, and we hope he
may never get into any more railroad
wrecks.
