Who said John Hawn killed the old
weather groundhog? It did look for
about six weeks as though his hogship
had either fallen asleep, been killed or
gone crazy, but the old “codger, is
evidently doing business at the old
stand now, for we have a good sleighing
snow, and within the last week have
had all che different kinds of weather

Ephraim Miller, 85 years old, died at
his home at Summit Mills, Tuesday
morning. For about 50 successive
years he was postmaster at. Summit
Mills, which was one of the first offices
established in Somerset county. He is
survived by several sons and daugh-
ters, among them Norman E. Miller, of
Meyersdale ; Urias M. Miller, of Madi-
son, O.; Mrs. W. D. Saylor and Miss
Lizzie Miller, at home. He was an
uncle of Judge J.J. Miller, of Pitts-
burg.

pain instantly. Sold by Elk Lick Phar-
macy. 6-1:
Newton Milliron, whose father was
pastor of the United Evangelical
chureh, of this place, six or seven years
ago, was here last week visiting friends.
Newton was quite a small boy then,
but is now a full grown man, and holds
a good position in the Claims depart-
ment of the Pennsylvania railroad.
Good positions are always waiting for
young men who have not idled away
the days of their youth, but who were
wise enough to study and educate
themselves.
The best safeguard against headache,
constipation and liver troubles is De-
Witt’s Little Early Risers. Keep a
vial of these famous little pills in the
house and take a dose at bed time
when-you feel that the stomach and
bowels need cleansing. They don’t
gripe. Sold by E. H. Miller. 4-1
The boy who saves his money be-
comes the banker, the merchant, the
professional man. The boy who never
saves a cent makes the man who “earns
his bread by the sweat of his brow,
who never owns a home or enjoys the
luxuries of life. He always has a kick
coming, and never lets a chance to
kick go by. Everything goes wrong
with him—when he is a man. Parents
should use every possible means to
make graduates in economy of the boys
and girls.—Ex.
The gums and resins obtained from
pine trees have long been recognized
as highly beneficial in the treatment of
backache, kidney and bladder troubles.
Pine-ules is the name of a new med-

come from the pine forests of our own
native land. Sold by Elk Lick Phar-
macy. 6-1
A woman in San Francisco was gath-
éring statistics for a temperance society
publication. Talking one day to a
drayman, a big, heavy and red-faced
individual, she asked: ‘Well, now, my
man, tell me how many glasses of beer
you drink during the course of a day?”
The man took kis hat off, and scratched
his head. “Well, mum,” he replied,
“I don’t know as ’ow I can rightly tell
you. Some days I ’as about thirty,
but,” brightening up, “on the other
’and, some days I ’as quite a lot.”
An excited Londoner met a friend
outside a public house in Whitechapel.
“These men in here,” he exclaimed
furiously, pointing behind him, “have
insulted me. Now, just watch me go
in and kick them all into the street,
one after another. You can count ’em
off as they come through the door.”
The friend stood and watched. Pres-
ently a human form whizzed by him
and fell with » cruel smack in the gut-
ter. “One!” he called. “Stop count-
ing, you fool!” cried the other, as he
rose in anguish. It’s me!”
A liquid cold cure for children that is

Ap ideal remedy for Coughs, Colds,
Croup, Whooping Cough and all curable

Last week we received a handsomely
printed and embellished invitation
from the Board of Governors of the
Pennsylvania Club, requesting our
presence at the Club House, Washing-
ton, D. C., Wednesday evening, March
14th, 1906, to meet Hon. Samuel W.
Pennypacker, Governor of Pennsyl-
vania. No doubt the Governor and all
the other “big guns” present on the oc-
casion missed THE STAR man very
much, but we couldn’t go to Washing-
ton without missing prayer meeting at
‘home, and that settled it. We trust
that the Governor and all our other
intimate friends and associates who
assembled there will excuse us.
G. W. Slick, ex-Surgeon General of
Thoburn Post, G. A. R., arrived in
town, mounted, Tuesday. He was not
expected, hence popular confusion and
want of preparation. However, he put
up his horse at a barber-shop and went
to a down-town livery to get shaved.
Next he applied at a restaurant for a
drink, expecting to enjoy luncheon
later at a bar, but failing in all his first
attempts, he announced that he was
“next to head” in a cavavansary at
Salisbury, Pa, and Frostburgers com-
ing there hungry and thirsty, could be
relieved of either or both deprivations
at 50 and 10 cents per. Considering
his long absence, the doctor was look-
ing in stato quo post bellum. —Frostburg
Mining Journal.
Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Smith, who
spent the winter at Esbon, Kan., where
Mr. Smith was employed in the store of
Robt. 8. Beachy & Co., returned to the
East this week. They will again take
up their residence here, Mr.Smith hav-
ing been engaged to manage a new
store that the Meagers will have in
operation in the M. J. Glotfelty build-
ing, on Ord street, by April 1st. He is
here now making the preliminary ar-
rangements, but Mrs. Smith stopped off
at Connellsville to accompany her
daughter, Mrs. 8S. P. Schell, to a sanita-
rium at White Haven, Pa. to be treat-
ed for lung trouble. We regret to say
that Mrs. Schell is in very poor health,
and her trouble is believed to be tu-
berculosis. We hope, however, that
she will be restored to health.
The tar that is contained in Bee's
Laxative Houey and Tar is harmless.
It is not coal tar, but is obtained from
the pine trees of our own native forests.
Bee’s Laxative Honey and Tar is the
best remedy for colds because it acts
on the bowels—thus expelling all colds
from the system. Bee's is the original
Laxative Honey and Tar, and is best
for coughs, colds, croup, whooping
cough, lung and bronchial affections.

The Sally Livengood property.corner
Ord street and Smith avenue, has been
sold to one of the Lichliters for $1100.
The location is a very desirable one,
and the price paid is considerably be-
low its actual value. The former owner
made the same blunder that many
another property owner has made—
selling without publicly advertising
the property. We know of one desir-
able property that was sold in this
town a few years ago for just $500 less
than several people we knew of would
have been only too anxious to pay for
it, but they didn’t know it was for sale,
as the property never was advertised.
Many times a few dollars spent for an
advertisement in Tug Star has brought
the advertiser many times the amount
expended. We congratulate the purch-
aser of the Livengood property on hav-
ing secured an enormous bargain.
A dose of Pine-ules at bed time will
usually relieve backache, before morn-
ing. These beautiful little globules are
soft gelatine coated. and when moisten-
ed and placed in the mouth you can’t
keep from swallowing them. Pineeules
contain neither sugar nor alcohol—just
gums and resins obtained from our own
native pine forests, combined with
other well known bladder, kidney,
blood and backache remedies. Sold by
Elk Lick Pharmacy. 6-1
Harry Faglane, employed at the
National Transit company machine
shop, received an unique valentine on
Wednesday in the shape of three $10
bank notes. Bert Funk, William Frig-
gel and Farlane all work in the shops
and are chums. On Tuesday night
Funk dropped into the cigar store,
which Friggel conducts as a side issue,
and n-ked him to put a nerve-harrow-
ing valentine into an envelope and
mail it to Farlane. Friggel had three
$10 bank notes in a blank envelope in a
drawer in the desk at the store, and ac-
cidentally put a stamp on this envelope
and addressed it to Farlane, leaving
the envelope, with the valentine en-
closed, in the desk. Farlane’s mail is
delivered at the shops’ office, and at
noon Friggel, Funk and half a dozen
others in the secret followed Farlane
to the office, expecting to ‘‘give him the
laugh” when he opened the valentine.
When the money was uncovered, Frig-
gel realized he had mixed matters, and
laid claim to the cash, but Farlane has
demanded that-he prove ownership to
the property. —Pitisburg Times.
Stricken With Paralysis.
We regret very much to announce
that Henry Kidner, one of Salisbury’s
well-known citizens, was stricken with
paralysis, last week, at the home of his
brother-in-law, the late Henry Keister,
who died at his home near Somerset,
on the 9th inst. Mr. Kidner went to
the Keister home to attend the funeral,
and while there was stricken with the
disease aforesaid, rendering him help-
less in his right arm, and his entire
right side was also affected. At last re-
port, however, he was improving, and
the attending physician is hopeful of
his recovery. 3
DOCTORS ARE PUZZLED.
The remarkable recovery of Kenneth
Melver, of Vanceboro, Me., is the sub-
ject of much interest to the medical
fraternity and a wide circle of friends.
He says of his case: “Owing to severe
inflammation of the Throat and con-
gestion of the Lungs, three doctors gave
me up to die, when, as a last resort, I
was induced to try Dr. King’s New Dis-
covery and I am happy to say, it saved
my life.” Cures the worst Coughs and
Colds, Bronchitis, Tonsilitis, Weak
Lungs, Hoarseness and LaGrippe.

Manslaughter.
The trial of Eilward Walsh for kill-
ing John P. Moody, both of this place.
in progress when this paper went to
press last week, terminated Friday
evening in a verdict of manslaughter.
This result was a great disappoint-
ment to him and his friends, all having
expected acquittal.
Sentence not yet pronounced.—Frost-
burg Mining Journal.
A SCIENTIFIC WONDER.
The cures that stand to its credit
make Bucklen’s Arnica Salve a scien-
tific wonder. It cured E. R. Mulford,
lecturer for the Patrons of Husbandry,
Waynesboro, Pa, of a distressing case
of Piles. It heals the worst Burns,
Sores, Boils, Ulcers, Cuts, Wounds,
Chilblains and Salt Rheum. Only 25c.

Fire in Meyersdale.’
At an early hour last Sunday morn-
ing, fire broke out in Beveridge’s res-
taurant, burning it to the ground.
Newton’s grocery store, adjoining the
restaurant, shared the same fate. The
flames also spread to the Donges block
before the fire could be extinguished,
damaging that structure to the extent
of about $700. The total loss is about
$3,000. Just how the fire originated is
not known.
GET THE RIGHT KIND.
If you are troubled with Piles and
can’t find a cure, try Witch Hazel Salve,
but be sure you get that made by E. C.
DeWitt & Co., Chicago. It is the Orig-
inal. If you have used Witch Hazel
Salve without being relieved it is prob-
able that you got hold of one of the
many worthless counterfeits that are
sold on the reputation of the genuine
DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve. Sold by
E. H. Miller. 4-1
The Coming Raliroan.
Reports of tunnels projected on the
Wabash extension between Cumber-
land and Frostburg conflict so radically
with surface inequalities that the Jour-
nal will not reproduce them.
It is probably enough to say the
road is coming, and that work on grade
hereabout will be going on within the
year.
Meanwhile, there is a detachment of
B. & O. surveyors working between
Frostburg and Mt. Savage, with what
purpose no one hereabout knows.—
Frostburg Mining Journal.

Register of Wills Cook After the
Preachers.
Register of Wills, Charles F. Cook,
will soon declare war against ministers
and justices of Somerset county, unless
they are more prompt in sending him
duplicate certificates after performing
a marriage ceremony. Too much in-
difference is shown at this time, since
many are the ministers and justices
who have performed marriage cere-
monies and have never even as much
as thought of advising the register of
wills to that effect. As a consequence
the records do not prove that the par-
ties in question ever crossed the matri-
monial threshold, but only the fact
that a marriage license was issued.
The register is powerless to remedy
the evil, unless he gets after ministers
and justices. Very often he is at a loss
to show who the officiating clergyman
or magistrate is, and there’s the
trouble. Since his advent into office,
January 1, there are 16 duplicate cer-
tificates unheard from. His predeces-
sor, Charles C. Shafer, has over 100 yet
to be heard from, says the Berlin
Recrod.
War Veterans of 1812.
Two companies were enlisted and
went from Berlin and vicinity. An in-
fantry company—Captain, Peter Lane;
1st Lieutenant, Wm. Atchison; 2d
Lieutenant, Michael Keefer; 1st Ser-
geant, John C. Walker; fifer, Jacob
Hoyl; drummer, George N. Coleman.
Riflecompany—Captain,Casper Keller;
1st Lieutenant, John P. Brubaker; 2d
Lieutenant, John Crofford; 1st Ser-
geant, Michael Dively ; bugler, Conrad
Antillus ; other known members being
Daniel Bowman, Henry J. Young, Wm.
Knepper, James Ferrell and Peter
Rhoads. These are all the names
known to the historian, company rolls
seemingly being lost in Harrisburg.
Persons knowing of any other members
of these companies will please make
them known to Jae. J. Zorn, Berlin,
Pa. for use of Wm. H. Weffley and
Hon. Wm. H. Koontz, historians of
Somerset county, who will appreciate
the favor.
