Sold by Elk Lick Pharmacy. 6-1 While in Grantsville, Md., last Satur- day evening, we had the pleasure of meeting a considerable number of our old-time friends. One and all gave us the glad hand and made us feel at home, and while our time was too short to look up as many of our friends in that town as we would like to have done, yet we enjoyed the short visit to our old native town very much, and we were much pleased to note the im- provements that have been made there in the way of good buildings erected within the past few years. Forty of Rev. S. M. Cousins’ parish- ioners. with Miss Minnie Snyder at the head of the procession, tendered him a delightful surprise call at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Statler, last Tuesday evening. Each of the party carried a package weighing exactly one pound, collectively containing almost every toothsome article usually found in a well stocked larder. In truth, it was a “pound” party, and if ever you think your pastor needs a good “pounding,” flay it to him in just this way, precisely. The donation amounted to fourteen dollors.—Rockwood Leader. The tar that is contained in Bee's Laxative Honey 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. Sold by Elk Lick Pharmacy. 6-1 Mr. and Mrs. John A.

IDEAL SHEAR CO. 39 Randolph St., Chicago. 5-17 The young people who have grit as part of their capital can do without many things which others find indis- pensable. Grit masters the problem on which the class fails. Grit performs the task before which many a worker sits helpless. Grit leaves the word “impossible” out of its dictionary. When others see obstacles, it finds chance. When it comes up against a wall, instead of turning around, it pre- pares either to climb over or to dig its way under. One can make up, partial- ly at least, for deficiencies in his early education, for lack of influence, for de- fects in his appearance, for scores and hundreds of things good and useful in their place, but grit is indispensable. Without it you will be a failure. With enough of it there can not be a combi- nation of circumstances which will cheat you out of a measure of success. 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. Pine=ules 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 Last Saturday evening the editor was treated to a sleigh ride to Grantsville, Md., by Walter Williams. We put up at the splendid new Hotel Victoria, of which Mr. A. J. Bevans is the genial proprietor. Right here let us say that Mr. Bevans is an ideal hotel man, and he has a house that would be a credit to a town of 5000 inhabitants. The house is large and roomy, a portion of it being three stories high, and on two sides of it is a large and beautiful Co- lonial porch. Everything on the in- side is conveniently arranged, and the house is equipped throughout with steam heat and hot and cold water plumbing. The Victoria has a snug office, a fine bar, barber shop and pool room, large parlor, cozy reading room, spacious dining room, convenient kitchen, closets, wash room, bath room, fifteen elegant bed rooms, ete. ete. The entire house is a model of con- venierce, and the rooms are all splend- idly and tastily furnished. The table service is superb, and the house is deservedly popular with the traveling publie. It is also a favorite resort for sleighing parties and the like, and the management caters especially to that kind of patronage. Berlin is all agog over the threatened prosecution of two reputable physi- cians of that place on a charge of mal- practice, which, it is reported, will be instituted by the husband of the un- fortunate victims in the case. It is al- leged that one of the physicians in question was invited professionally to the home of a miner living at Macdon- aldton, and when he was unsuccessful in adding to the membership of the household, he telephoned for a fellow practitioner. The two physicians re- mained at the bedside of the suffering woman for two or three hours, so the story goes, and finally abandoned the case. After a while the frantic hus- band telephoned for the Catholic priest of Meyersdale, who responded to the urgent appeal. A third Berlin physician was summoned, but. too late to save the life of the mother or her child. Saturday a Somerset attorney, who has been employed to investigate the case, visited Macdonaldton for the purpose of examining persons who are likely to be called as witnesses, should the case be brought into court. It is not known what the defense will be, but judging from the high character of the physicians whose names are men- tioned in connection with the threat- ened prosecution, it is taken for grant- ed that they will be abundantly pre- pared to defend their professional rep- utations.—Somerset Herald. Fatal Shooting Affray in Meyers- dale. Just as we go to press a report reaches us of a fatal shooting affray in Meyersdale. The story as related here is about as follows: A young man named Cummings had a fight at one of the mines near Meyersdale, yesterday, with an Italian. The Italian got the worst of the encounter, and in the evening the son of Italy, it is alleged, met Cummings in Meyersdale, and at once opened fire on him with a revolv- er, shooting him through the shoulder. Cummings at once returned the fire and shot the Italian, who turned, ran a short distance, and then fell over, dead. E&= WEDDING Invitations at THE STAR office. A nics new stock justre- ceived. tf.
