Wright recently Lad a letter from Cornelius Sweitzer, who will be remembered by many of our readers as a resident of this vicinity about 25 years ago. Cornelius is now a pros- perous farmer, and resides in Nebraska, near Omaha, where he is contented and happy. He is married and has one son and one daughter. Mr. James H. Waters, of Iowa, was recently the guest of Mr. C. H. Jen- nings, at the home of the latter at Jen- nings, Md. Mr. Waters and Mr. Jen- nings were both cadets at the United States Military Academy, at West Point, N. Y , at the same time, when they were young men.

The remains were laid to rest in the St. Paul church cemetery, Tuesday of last week, Rev. Stover, of the Reformed church, conducting the funeral. The parents of the child re- side at Coal Run, and they have the sympathy of all their friends and neighbors in their bereavement. Notwithstanding che fact that he was vaccinated a week ago Monday, Joy Rowland is breaking out with the same disease that affects the people of the north side. Beyond a fever the first day or two the boy is not and has not been sick. C. Rowland, the boy’s father, does not regard the disease as smallpox, but thinks it a contagious skin disease.

Lichty is the examining physician and has charge of the recruiting office. He can give young men all the informa- tion they want concerning the service, and there are many young men in and about town that would do well to en- list. The service is a good schooling for any young man, and it affords an excellent opportunity to see all parts of the world at the Government's ex- pense. Dinner was a little late. A guest asked the hostess to play something. Seating herself at the piano, the good woman executed a Chopin nocturne with precision. She finished. and there was still an interval of waiting to be bridged. In the grim silence she turned to an old gentleman on her right and said: “Would you like a sonata before dinner? He gave a start of surprise and pleasure. “Why, yes, thanks,” he said, “I had a couple on my way here, but I think I could stand another.” J. R.Joy has returned home from Somerset, where he had been serving as chief of police for a year or more. The Somerset Herald is authority for it that Mr. Joy removed his uniform and star on March 1st, owing to friction with members of the Town Council, some of whom are alleged to have been dissatisfied with Mr. Joy’s official con- duct. The Herald, however, speaks highly of Mr. Joy as an officer, ex- presses regret at his resignation, and criticises the Council for having him slated for removal. George Huston, one of the clerks in the Elk Lick Supply Company’s store, was called to his home in Frostburg, Md., Tuesday morning, on account of the illness of his father, Mr. Joseph Huston, who was suffering with pneu- monia, and died the morning following. The funeral will take place tomorrow. In the death of Joseph Huston, Frost- burg has lost-one of her most exemplary citizens, and Tue Star extends its sympathy to the bereaved family. De- ceased is survived by a wife and several sons and daughters. Jefferson J. Seidle, of Berlin, received notice, recently, of his appointment as store-keeper and guager for the Somer- set district. Mr. Seidle has been iden- tified in local politics, and for the past six years has held the office of consta- ble of Berlin, being elected each time on the Republican ticket. His appoint- ment was secured for him through the efforts of J. A. Berkey, of Somerset, State Banking Commissioner, and Con- gressman Allen F. Cooper, of Union- town. Lewis A. Ellenberger, of Alle- gheny township, this county, has been appointed as substituté store-keeper and guager. Walter Easton will go to New York City in a few days, and from thence to South (Carolina, where he will be em- ployed by the same New York drill company that he has been employed by most of the time during the past four or five years. His employers always pay him a handsome salary, and they regard him as one of the most expert core drill operators in the country, all of which he is. Walter dislikes being absent from his family so much, and several times he resigned his position, but every time he quits the company rehires him at an increased salary, which speaks well for his mechanical ability. Married, last Saturday, in Meyers- dale, Mr. Frank Newman and Miss Sallie May, both’of Elk Lick township. The groom is the eldest son of Mrs. Jerome Newman, and the bride a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Silas May, of Boynton. “Shad” Engle says the eouple received a rousing serenade, Monday evening, fn true country style, at the home of the groom’s mother. He says horse-fiddles and other fine musical instruments figured in the jolly affair, and that most of the music was render- ed in the key of Q. The couple enjoy- ed the fun, however, and the sere- naders were liberally treated. That the couple may live long and prosper is the wish of all their friends.

Colonel George Washington Blick the genial and popular general utility man at Hay’s hotel, drove over to Frostburg, Md., yesterday. He reports a glorious time over there with his old friend J. B. Oder, editor of the Mining Journal, and Mr. Pinkwhiskers, of Po- cahontas, who was also a guest of the editor aforesaid at the same time, Colonel Slick says they devoured sev- eral bricks of Limberger cheese, which Fred Durr, the mayor of Pocahontas, was kind enough to leave at the Jour- nal office, together with the necessary essentials to wash the cheese down with. Colonel Slick further says that when he left the Journal office the edi- tor wasn’t the only odor about the place, and we believe him. Mr. John J. Keim this week showed us a photograph of eight gall stones recently removed from his daughter, Mrs. Richard Beachy, of Esbon, Kan. The stones range in size from a bean to a horse chestnut. Mrs. Beachy was also operated on for a floating kidney and other troubles, making three in- cisions necessary, which lasted about two hours and a half. The operations were performed at a hospital in Lincoln, Neb., where the patient is still confined. We are glad to report that she is re- covering nicely, and she writes in grateful terms of the many kindnesses shown her from day to day by Mrs. W. S. Lichty, Mrs. Ed. L. Beachly and Miss Amanda Keim, who visit her fre- quently and do all they can ‘to cheer and comfort her. The ladies mention- ed all resided in this locality, some years ago, and are known to many of our readers. The editor of THE Srar fondly hopes that Mrs. Beachy will soon be able to return to her family, strong and healthy. We know what it is to have a wife in the hospital, and we know how to sympathize with others who have dear ones there, as well as with the patients. eet GET THE RIGHT KIND.

McKinley was sworn ip as Burgess, and the new Town Council organized by electing Robt. H. Johnston president and O. W. Petry borough clerk. Mr. Petry de- clining to accept the clerkship, Geo. C. Hay was chosen to fill the position. We believe that the new council will give general satisfaction and have the borough’s best interests in mind at all times. And right here we deem it but just to say that the council preceding the present body was the best and most progressive that the town ever had, do- ing more for the advancement and welfare of the borough than any of its predecessors. But there is still much left for the new eouncil to do, and we believe that much will be accomplished by that body for the good of the com- munity, in spite of the fact that the new council is handicapped by an arbitrary and non-progressive man for Burgess. Tomorrow evening a special meeting of the council will be held for the pur- pose of hiring a man to serve as Chief of Police for one year. All bids are to be in by 8 o’clock p. m., and it is said that the applicants will be M. D. Thom- as, the present incumbent, J. R. Joy, Frank Wagner, Thomas Daugherty and W. N. Lenhart. We have no idea who will be chosen, but we believe that the appointment lays between Thomas, Joy and Wagner. The friends of Mr. Thomas (and they are many) argue that no change should be made, and to support their claim they produce figures to show that Mr. Thomas -brought more fines into the borough treasury than any other man that ever policed the town, while at the same time he filled the position at a salary $20 per month lower than was paid to his predecessor. This is a strong argument in his favor, and it is a well known fact that the town has been as orderly during his administra- tion, taken all in all, as it ever was at any other time. When it is remem- bered that his administration covered the darkest and most turbulent days of the strike period, and that he was at all times thoroughly master of the situation, Mr. Thomas surely deserves more credit than his enemies are dis- posed to give him. Of course, Mr. Thomas could not please everybody, and neither could Mr. Joy when he was Chief of Police. Neither can any other man. No officer always does the right thing at the right time, but we should ull give credit where credit is due. J. R. Joy was an officer far better than the aver- age, but not one particle better than M. D. Thomas. Frank Wagner or Tom Daugherty might fill the office gs good as either of them, or they might not; we can’t tell.. But may the best man win, and then let all good citizens stand loyally by him in the discharge of his duties. ST NATIONAL BT LICR BAN K .$ 50,000.00 . 60,000.00 Capital stoek. Surplus fond. 3.
