AT a county farmers’ institute re-
cently held in Iowa, a free-for-all de-
bate was had on the country merchant,
the farmer and the catalogue houses.
The discussion that took place was fall
of ginger, the farmer ably presenting
his side of the case. It seemed to be
the concensus of opinion when the de-
bate was finished, that good towns in-
crease the value of all farm lands trib-
utary to them, that good towns cannot
be maintained without the patronage
of the farmer, that the local merchants
are by every right entitled to a fair
chance to at least compete for the
trade. It was brought out that the
strong point with the catalogue houses
lay in the quoting eof prices, coupled
with the illustration and detailed de-
scriptions of all articles they offer for
sale, and the point was made, and well
made, that if country merchants would,
by judicious advertising, present their
goods and prices in the same way,
much of the trade would be kept at
bome which now goes to the big stores
in the cities.
The Deadly Cigarette.

No one man knows how much dam-
age the villainous indulgence is inflict-

ful now ; to himself in declining yegrs
it will be a vital question—what 7s the
matter with me?
And it will be then too late to learn
that the seeds of disease incurable were

TO BE BUILT WITH A RUSH.
That’s the Shape the Meyersdale &
Salisbury Street Railway Seems
to be in Now.
Road to be Built by C. H. Jennings
and Others—Franchises Grant-
ed and Charters Applied for.
On Tuesday evening the Salisbury
Town Council met in special session to
confer with.C. H. Jennings, John M.
Wright and H. H. Maust, the object
being to discuss the granting of a fran-
chise for the much talked-of electric
road. :
The Council and the gentlemen
aforesaid had no trouble whatever in
coming to terms, and the franchise was
officially granted the next evening.
The members of ths Council are greatly
pleased with the manner in which Mr.
Jennings presented the matter, and
they agree that all his propositions and
suggestions were most fair and rea-
sonable.
We shall not discuss the terms of the
franchise now, for we expect to print
the entire ordinance about next week,
and then our readers will have every-
thing from an official source.
However, we will say that we have
not the least doubt about the road be-
ing built and in operation by Sept. 1st
or sooner, as Mr. Jennings is not in the
habit of talking through his hat, and
he has associated with him several
gentlemen from Towanda, Pa., who
have built and now have in operation
electric roads in other parts of this
country and Canada.
Either Mr. Jennings or =sny of his
Towanda partners in this matter cdn
build and equip the Meyersdale & Sal-
isbury road with their individual capi-
tal, and they are not going to float any
bonds or offer any stock for sale in or-
der to carry the project through. They
expect to just go ahead, build the road,
pay for it and operate it—that’s all.
Notice has been given that on March
5th the Governor will be applied to for
a charter for the Somerset County
Railway Company, by C. H. Jennings,
John M. Wright, H. H. Maust, G. W.
Kipp, E, Floyd Kizer and their associ-
ates. It is understood that the object
is not only to build and operate the
Meyersdale & Salisbury road, but to
extend the system eventually to Johns-
town, Pa., and Cumberland, Md.
Now, just keep your eye -on C. H.
Jennings, one of the finest men that
ever struck this loeality, and see if he
does not have the dirt flying by April
1st, and the cars rolling into town by
Sept. 1st.

Meyersdale Beer is Pure.
It is a well-known fact to all brewers
and those engaged in the manufaciure
of beer, that good water is necessary to
the production of good beer. In this
respect the water used by the Meyers-
dale Brewing Company is unsurpassed,
on account of its purity and its freedom
from mineral and vegetable matter.
It comes from a never-failing spring,
cool, clear and sparkling, filtered
through the sand rock, and bright as
distilled water. With this as a basis,
and the choicest selection of malt and
hops, this company is producing an ex-
ceptionally pure and wholesome beer.
These are some of the reasons why
the Meyersdale Brewing Co. maintains,
and the public is justified in believing
that Meyersdale Beer is Good Beer. 2-22
A VIPER DRIVEN OUT.
Organizer Wardjohn Fails to Bluff
the Lonaconing Star, and Also
Fails to Appear Against its
Editor in Court.
A Valuable Lesson for the Miners of
the George’s Creek Region.
In adesperate effort to organize the
miners of the George’s Creek coal re-
gion, the U. M. W. of A. sent one Wil-
liam Wardjohn into that field a year or
more ago. Wardjohn appears to have
been prominent in the Colorado min-
ing troubles, and if all reports are true,
he should have been hanged by the
neck until dead long before he ever
reached the state of Maryland.
Like the average labor grafter from
abroad, he promptly began to sow the
seeds of lawlessness, crime and desola-
tion, and while he was belching out rot
that invariably brings disaster and
want upon all who are foolish enough
to be influenced by such unprincipled
fakirs, the editor of the Lonaconing
Star was busy tracing his career, both
in Wales, where Wardjohn came from,
and also in this country.
The picture Editor Robinson painted
of the organizer contained all the
colors but white, and accused him of
having served a term in a Welch prison
for the horrible crime of rape upon the
person of a nine-year-old child. He
was also accused of attempted rape at
the Gladstone Hotel, in Frostburg, no
later than last spring. Many other
black erimes were also Injd at Ward-
jobn’s door by Editor Robinson, whe
defied the organizer week after week -
to bring suit against Lis: accuser, that
he might have a chance to prove his
awful and fearless assertions in court.
For a long time windy Wardjobhn
would not sue, on account of which the
miners finally began to lose confidence
in the slimy reptile, and then he
brought both a civil and a criminal
suit against the fearless editor. Bat.
just as Editor Robinson predicted, the
wily Wardjohn failed to appear at the
trial, recently, and the most diligent
search could not reveal his wherea-
bouts. The suit is now off, and it was
an easy victory for the editor, who,
however, would have preferred to stand
trial.
The Creek region is now rid of Ward- |
john, and to the Lanaconing Star be-
longs the credit for ridding the region
of the venomous viper. Everybody
down there should give thanks that
the foul fakir has folded his tent and .
sneaked away, especially the ‘miners.
Even the George's Creek Press, the
flimsy sheet that is recognized as the
official organ of the U. M. W. of A.
seems to have enough of ‘Wardjohn, :
and following ie
WHAT THE ORGANIZATION PAPER SAYS
of him in its issue of last week:
“The cases of Wardjohn against J. J.
Robinson, editor of the Star, for libel,
appear to have been allowed to fall to
the ground. To the mind of most men,
this will appear a confession of ‘guilt,
and an acknowledgment of the truth of
Robinson’s charges.
It is very unfortunate indeed that
the United Mine Workers has been
misrepresented in this, the hardest
field to organize in the whole United
States, by men without character ’
without judgement and without honor. ~
It is a great pity that it cannot get rid
of its miserable camp-followers, the
low fellows who cling to its power and
use it for their own sneaking benefit.
The organization has done wonderful
good to the miners at large; it is a
shame that men unfit to be trusted
either in public or private should get
into office in it.
For twenty-four years we have fol-
lowed one forlorn hope after another
into swamps and sorrow, and for the
past few years almost every ‘leader’
who has come into the region, when
weighed in the balanee, has been found
wanting.”
A LESSON FOR OUR OWN MINERS.
The Wardjohn incident should even
be a lesson for the miners here in this,
the Elk Lick and Meyegsdale region,
where so much poverty and suffering
has resulted to many of their number
by being misrepresented by such dirty
skunks as E. 8. McCulloh and others.
Even Francis J. Drum is a. menace to
the best interests of the miners of this.
region, and we are glad to note that so
many of our miners are refusing to be
led any longer against their own bet-
ter judgment by the trash from abroad
that held the men of this field out in: a
useless and senseless strike that lasted
sixteen long, dreary months, ruining
many homes, causing loss of labor, de-
bauching manhood, making fools of
men and doing general harm to the
region and its people to such an extent
that many of them will never recover
from the blighting effect thereof.
The George's Creek Press frequently
lets enough truth crop out between the
lines to show that its editor is com-
pletely disgusted with the miners’ or-
ganization as it is’ generally managed,
and the editor of that paper knows
that the greatest deadbeats on his
subscription list are loud-mouthed
union miners who are not honest with
their employers, not honest with each
other, and not honest with their official
paper. ’
To Harness Swallow Falls.
We understand that a proposition is
on foot to harness Swallow Falls, ons
of the most beautiful and picturesque
scenes of the “Yough” river, about nine
miles from Oakland. The purpose, as
we have the rumor, is to furnish power
for electric light plants and other mar-
ufacturies that may be established
along the line of the Oakland & Con-
fluence railroad in this county. It is
said that the matter is being consider-
ed in certain quarters, and that we may
see the accomplishment of the projeet
within a year or two.—Oakland Jour-
nal.
