THosE insurance magnates have thoroughly trustworthy memories. That is, their memories can be trusted to break down and quit working when the questioning becomes too embarass- ing. Tue news of the destruction by fire of 810,000 gallons of whisky at Con- nellsville, Pa., was sad enough to some people without the added statement thac the stuff was “over eight years old.” Tue only thing lacking in Russia at present, is a fair trial for the constitu- tion which has not as yet been formu- lated, owing to the fact that the parties most deeply interested in it will not agree to drop everything else while they are trying on a little real liberty. Ar the late election Wm. C. Begley. Sheriff-elect of Somerset county, re- ceived 3823 Republican votes, 733 Citi- zens’ Upion votes, and 574 Orphans’ party votes, yet jthe mongrels delight in blowing around that they elected Begley. The official returns show that not one of their votes was needed by Mr. Begley, also that the claims of the mongrels fall flat when the official re- turns are examined. MEYERSDALE now has a Curfew law which prohibits persons under 16 years of age from being on the streets or about the public places of the town after 9 o’clock p. m. from May 1st to Sept. 30th, inclusive, or after 8 o’clock p. m. from Oct. 1st to April 30th, in- clusive, of each year. Three blasts from .the electric light plant whistle give notice to the youngsters when they must take a sneak for home. The law is a good one, and Salisbury ought tohave a law of the same kind, as too many children in this town are per- mitted to loaf about the streets and stores when they ought to be at home with their parents. If parents haven't got sense enough to prohibit their chil- dren from loafing and gadding about the streets at all hours of the night, getting into all kinds of devilment and beginning lives of shame and crime, the town authorities ought to pass an or- dinance compelling youngsters to be at home in proper time. The Meyers- dale Curfew law contains proper pro- visions permitting children to be on the streets after the hours specified, when they are accompanied by their parents or guardians, or when they are sent on errands. It is a well framed ordinance, and the moral benefit to Meyersdale cannot help being great. We repeat it, the Salisbury Town Council should pass an ordinance of the same kind, as it woald be the means of saving many a youth from going to the bad. : Windber Journal Political Obser- vations.

Editor Overacker, of the Rockwood Gazette, announced discontinuance of that publication (so far as he is con- he issued last week. The plant of the Gazette is owned by Barron Bros., of Rockwood, who last week took posses- gion of their property. The subserip- tion list and good will of the publisher was purchased some time ago by Floyd E. Morrison, who, according to the Ga- zette, had intended to buy the plant also, but. was deterred from so doing by being taken seriously ill, which necessi- tated his going to the John Hopkins Hospital, in Baltimore, where he still remains. The Gazette, from what we can learn, or probably a newspaper by some other name, will likely be published in Rockwood by a stock company, in the very near future, or perhaps this week. Just what will be Editor Overacker’s next move, remains to be seen; but it is doubtful whether he will ever loom up again in the field of Somerset county journalism. Without wishing te be unkind, and without any desire to do Overacker any harm, we can nevertheless not re- frain from making some friendly eriti- cism concerning the man and his methods. First of all, let us say, we always enjoyed Overacker’s paper, al- though it contained much at times not in the least in accord with our own sentiments. He is an entertaining writer and a most excellent news- gatherer, but we regret to say that too much of his writing savored of religious fanaticism and genuine bigotry. He can rave in anger and shout hallelujahs with equal ease and frequency, and he can pray for a man and call down curses upon his head with equal ease and grace. In fact Overacker is a queer genius. but withal a sociable and kind-hearted fellow to come in contact with. As a business man, however, is where he shows his greatest weakness. One glance through his print shop was enough to convince the proprietor of any well arranged and properly con- ducted printing plant that there isn’t a spark of business in Overacker, and that he has never learned the value and convenience of having a place for everything and everything in its place. His was one of the most upsidedown print shops we ever saw or ever ex- pect to see. While the equipments were rather good, yet it was plain to the careful, accurate printer that Overacker kept nothing about the place in proper condition, and no man con- ducting & work shop in that kind of a manner can ever hope to make it pay, or todo much more than waste his own time and means, or rather the means of other people, for he who con- ducts a print shop a la blacksmith, seldom has any means of his own to squander. Furthermore, Overacker never seem- ed to appreciate those who favored him with patronage, but he is naturally suspicious, distrustful and as full of notions as a dog is full of fleas. Men of his makeup never succeed in busi- ness, for it is contrary to their natures to succeed, and they can’t help it. Such men are perhaps more to be pitied than censured, and no matter what Over- acker goes at next, we nevertheless wish him all the success that a man of his make-up can hope to attain. Larer. Since writing the above, THE StAR is in receipt of a circular is- sued by James R. Barron, stating that he is at work establishing a new paper to be known as the Rockwood Leader, which will’'make its appearance about Dec. 8th, with U. 8. Werner in charge as editor. Mr. Barron further states in his circular that he at no time received anything to compensate him for the use of his plant while it was in the hands of Overacker. We wish the new paper such success as it may deserve. EVERY OUNCE YOU EAT. Every ounce of food you eat that fails to digest does a pound of harm. It turns the entire meal into poison.

It is snid the Prohibitionists are again anxious to have another organ, and our informant saye it’s prineipally to browse on the minority patronage of the political pasture. If that’s all, brethren, don’t do it. The minority patronage is mighty skittish and wo- fully uncertain. At the best it cannot amount to three hundred dollars in three years, and one hundred dollars in a year would make a very thin soap to run a newspaper office on. Besides, there must be better reasons tham county pap to appeal to a reading people. Beside, Mr. Zimmerman wasn’t elect- ed by the Prohibitionists. They help- ed. His great number or votes came from the Stalwart Repdblicans, and you are not in it even a little bit. Nae, no, the official dews of patronage will fall upon the servile gang papers. They are entitled to every bit of it, and they will see that even no crumbs fall into your platter, for they are the greediest of the greedy. In this connection we wish to say The Commercial has no claims upon any officer-elect, no matter what litical stripe or pattern. We like to look on while they are swilling at the trough, but for ourself, we must be free. Free to enter any fight, just so the cause is right. We need no patron- ange and get along well without it— Meyersdale Commercial. : Dearest “Lucifer,” thou arc indeed meek, yea, mild and lovely art thou. The fox that couldn’t reach the grapes was a reynard after thine own heart, and thy profession of righteousness reminds us that “when the devil was sick, the devil a saint would be; but when the devil was well, the devil a saint was he” Even so is it with thee, old wan, even so is it with “Lucifer? who charged the county $567 for print- ing a single election proclamation. No wonder thou canst now get along very nicely without any official patronage. But the real reason thou dost not want any more official pap just now, is be- cause thou knowest well that thou can’t get it, and that’s the best kind of a reason with worthless old shysters and public plunderers such as thou art.

The following dispatch appeared in Tuesday’s Pittsburg Gazette: . Washington, Pa., Nov. 27.—(Special.) —“The first death in this county known to have resulted from vaccination is that of Dale, the 12-year-old daughter of Zebulon Iams, of Ten Mile, last even- ing. As required by law, the child was vaccinated a few days ago, and last Friday while at school the girl became violently ill. Tetanus had set in, and despite the efforts of two physicians, the girl died.” This is only one of many instances where vaccination has caused death, but such cases are never recorded in the garbled and lying doctor-made statistics, with which parents are flim- flammed, held up and robbed that medical graft may flourish and the murder of the innocents continue. Of course, the old pill peddler who vac- cinated the above named child will lay all the blame on the child and her parents for her death, and set up the plea that “the wound wasn’t properly cared for.” “I THANK THE LORD!” cried Hannah Plant, of Little Rock Ark., “for the relief I got from Buck- len’s Arnica Salve. It cured my fear- ful running sores, which nothing else would heal, and from which I had suf- fered for 5 years.” It is a marvelous healer for cuts, burns and wounds. Guaranteed at E. H.

One of the methods he adopted to ascertain the wishes of his patrons was to send each of them return postal cards on which was to be written an answer to the query, ‘How shall I ran my paper?” A prize was offered for the best answer received. One intelligent but plain-spoken patron fired back the postal with the indorse- ment, ‘Run it as you — please!” The editor examined the replies critically, thought over the matter awhile and finally awarded the prize to his plain spoken friend. That’s just the way we intend to run our paper, lots of other people notwithstanding.”
