Shaw, where she was strick- en with typhoid fever, many weeks ago, and has since suffered a relapse. Persons who have tried lime from doth kilns, declare that one bushel of dime from the Findlay quarry, up Pine Run, is worth at least two bushels of the lime meade from the Manasses Beachy limestone. The Findlay lime sis much the stronger and purer. On Tuesday morning Officers Thomas and McMurdo arrested five or six WW est Salisbury lads for annoying Herr Von Fritzerick Dishl by bumping his house with stones and other kinds of battering rams.

W. Giffin, Railroad street, Conemaugh, Pa., on the evening of Nov. lst, the occasion being the cele- bration of the wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Giffin, and the birthday of Mrs. Giffin, who, before marriage, was Miss Jennie Livengood, of Salis- bury. On Monday evening C. W. Statler, one of our liverymen, took the Salis- bury Cornet Band out for a free ride in one of his best wagons. The boys re- port a splendid time, and their music sounded-fine. At West Salisbury they gave the new hotel proprietor a sere- nade, which was greatly appreciated and liberally “irrigated,” but the boys all knew when to quit, and they came home sober. Backache is never known to those persons who take an occasional dose of Pineules. The value of the resin ob- tained from the Pine tree has long been recognized in the treatment of diseases of the bladder and kidneys. One dose of Pineules will give relief, and one bottle will cure.

Tressler, living in the mountain near Addison, was bitten on the hand and wrist in three places by a large copperhead snake. Tressler, while hunting, last Eriday. ran a rab- bit into a hollow log and reached in to catch it, when the snake bit him, and as no medical aid was given for several hours, the poison spread through his system, and his death is said to be only a matter of a short time. “The snake was killed. James Stirratt, who has been the su- perintendent of the Merchants’ Coal Company mines at Boswell ever since they were opened, has quit the employ of the company and has been succeed- ed by Charles Maher, who was the very efficient pit boss. It is not known whether Maher's appointment is a per- manent one, but it. isfbelieved that it is, as he is thoroughly familiar with the mines; and enjoys the coniidence and esteem of all the company employes.— Somerset Democrat. Dr. George W. Slick has left Grants. ville and gone over into the deeper wilds of Pennsylvania, meanwhile pass- ing himself off among strangers as 2a Democratic spell-binder. He was, therefore, asked to speak at Chauch Munk, but wrote the committee that he was recently thrown out of an auto- mobile in company with a wrought-iron cooking range, “busting” the tank. Whether the tank belonged to the au- tomobile or the range, or was Slick’s property, the committee was unable to determine.—Frostburg Journal. It 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. Sold by Elk Lick Pharmacy. 12-1 The postoffice at Markleton was rob- bed on Wednesday of last week, in broad daylight, while the postmaster was at dinner. Entrance was gained by prying open a back window, and the thief or thieves hastily carried away a box in which the postmaster kept his cash, stamps, etc, The box was broken open some distance from the building, but only a portion of the contents ear- ried away, which consisted of about $200 in bills. The stamps and af lot of gold and silver coin were not taken. They were probably overlooked in the haste of the thief or thieves. Potato parings as a chimney cleaner is the latest discovery, and is vouched for by the head of the Milwaukee fire department, who claims that when the parings are burned in the stove the chimney is kept free from soot and other conditions that breed fire. Damp weather is particularly favorable to fires in the chimneys, and when the soot becomes dampened it is more likely to originate fire from spontan- eous combustion than in dry weather. Barning potato parings prevents the gathering of soot. The suggestion is worth the trial, as it does not cost much. W. H. Powell, the efficient and popu- lar auctioneer, of Boynton, Pa. has dis- posed of all his property there and will coon move to a new home he has ac- quired near Boswell. His interest in the Boynton Coal Company has been purchased by the Maust Lumber Com- pany, his Flog Hill land by , Calvin Bowman, and his residence has been traded to Calvin Ankeny. Mr. Powell and family are very good people, and we regret exceedingly that they are going to leave this locality. However, we wish them much happiness and prosperity in their new home, where Trae Star will continue to visit them. Croup is quickly relieved, and Whoop- ing Cough will not “run its course” if you use the original Bee’s Laxative Honey and Tar. This Cough Byrup 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 Pharmacy. 12-1 A Somerset dispatch dated Oct. 11th, says: ‘Somerset society sustained a thrill last evening when Miss Ella Endsley announced the marriage of her sister, Annie E. McKinley, widow of Abner McKinley, to Capt. Allan, of Tampa, Fla. The wedding took place at Baltimore, Md., Monday, where Capt. Allan has many friends. The captain visited Somerset a year ago. He com- mands the steamship Mascot, plying between Tampa and Havana. Mrs. McKinley has been spending the winter at Tampa for a number of years, and there she met her present husband. She is the mother of Mabel McKinley, the actress, who was the favorite niece of President McKinley. R. F. Thomas, the Boynton merchant, is the only person that suffered any considerable loss by the Boynton rob- bery, last week. Postmaster Shoe- maker says about all that was taken from his office was a box in which he had locked some receipts and other papers of no great value. The thieves also broke open the Maust Lumber Company’s office and “blowed” the gafe with some explosive substance, but made a bungling job of it and fail- ed to get the inner door open. Even if they had succeeded in getting the in- ner door open, they would have found nothing of value to burglars. At the Thomas store about $35 or $40 was stolen, as stated last week. We call special attention to Murphy Brothers’ advertisement, which appears in this paper. They have opened a first class restaurant in the McKinley building, and that is just what this town has long needed. They are ener- getic and pleasant young men to deal with, and a call will convince anyone that they conduct a place that is well worthy of all the patronage the people of Salisbury and vicinity can give it. They know how to put up meals and lunches, and everything about the place is kept neat and clean. Their private dining room for ladies is a good feature, and it helps the town to see business done in a large building that has long stood vacant. Remember, Murphy Brothers’ restaurant is not a filthy jcint for dirty loafers and drunks, which is too frequently the case with restaurants and lunch rooms in’ small cowns; it is a clean, decent, up-to-date place, where you can at all times get anything in their line properly prepar- ed and eat in peace. Ee - Hor:ible Crime Near Meyersdale. The following news dispatch appear- ed in yesterday’s Pittsburg Times: Mrs. Mary Morris is lying at her bome at Meyersdale in a critical con- dition as the result of having been struck by Frank Lucka, with a hatchet. Mrs. Morris went to the Lucka home above the Shaw mines to search for her husband, when some trouble arose be- tween her and Lucka. He first struck her with the blade of a hatchet, driv- ing it into the bone. He then used the blunt end. Believing the woman dead, he dragged her to a coke oven and threw her in. She recovered consciousness after several hours, and walked to town, very weak from the loss of blood. Her wounds were full of coke dirt and dust, and she presented a horrible appear- ance. Lucka fled. A warrant has been issued for his arrest. DON’T BORROW TROUBLE. 1t is a bad habit to borrow anything, but the worst thing you can possibly borrow, is trouble.
