In these days of strife between po-
litical parties, factions, etec., we must
remember that after all we are just a
band of brothers here on earth, travel-
ing from the cradle to the grave. We
live side by side, our children attend
the same school, and after the smoke of
the battle has cleared away, we will
still be friends and neighbors. At best,
life is short, and we get out of it a full
measure of sorrow. Let usin our lit-
tle city live as one big, good-natured
family.
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.

The “Twinkler” is very late in mak-
ing its appearance, this week, owing to
the late hour of receiving copy for the
Mercantile Appraisement list, which
advertisement appears in this issue.
By glancing over the list and compar-
ing it with the Mercentile Appraise-
ment list of 1898, we find that Somer-
set county has today more than twice
as many business firms as it had then.
That fact alone gives one an idea of
the great increase in population and
business in this county during the past
few years.
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 alecohol—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
Letter from Henry Fresh.
Henry Fresh and family, formerly of
Salisbury, are now located in Lancas-
ter, Pa. They bave many friends in
Salisbury who will be interested in
knowing that Mr. Fresh is the inventor
of a street car brake that promises to
put him on “Easy street,” and right
here we want to say that good fortune
couldn’t come to a more worthy man.
Under date of April 27th, Mr. Fresh
writes to the editor of this paper as
follows:
Dear Sir:—I have neglected from
time to time to give you our new ad-
dress for Tue Star. We have missed
it very much since we have not been
getting it, especially Mrs. Fresh, as she
has always been very much interested
in the Salisbury news.
I will say in conclusion, that the
brake business is coming along nicely
and has the promise of being a very
good and profitable business. We are
building a plant with all individual
motor drive machinery, and installing
a direct connected engine and genera-
tor, to furnish power and light for the
plant. It will be a modern plant in
every detail, and will have a large out-
put for a small plant, which is economy
of production.
»> Whenever you get down in God’s
country, drop in to see us, for we have
a combination on our door that any
friend can open. Yours very truly,
Henry FRESH.

Wabash Railroad Movement.
The Wabash railroad movement in
Somerset county is neither dead nor
sleeping. They made quite a “find” in
the vicinity of Wellersburg, in the
southeastern part of the county, a week
ago. They began to take up rights of
way, D. J. Williams, one of the Wabash
agents, secured rights of way through
the Glosson, Berkey, Taylor, Geary,
Fairweather, Ludue, Witt, Monaghan,
Emerick, Cope, Kimberly, Pratt,
Brooks, Trimble and Philip Engle
farms.
There is to be a relocation of the
line, 87 feet higher than the original
location from a point below Frostburg
to Cumberland.
Mr. Williams reports that with one
or two exceptions all che rights of way
have been secured from Meyersdale to
the Maryland line, and that the re-
maining ones will be secured this week.
Still further advices are to the effect
that the new Pittsburg, Westmoreland
& Somerset railroad belongs to the
Wabash people, and that it will be ex-
tended ‘from here to Meyersdale, where
it will connect with the main line.—

Coal Man Went to Heaven—No Cars,
No Cars, No Cars!
A certain railroad official in this city
coal operator, the other day, no doubt
due to that gentleman’s suffering for
the “Eternal Question” to the coal
operators—coal cars:
A coal man went to heaven one day,
As coal men seldom do,
And they gave him a job at princely
pay,
Of running a coal train through
From the Kingdom of Hell, with in-
structions to haul
All the railroad men he could recall;
But they gave him, oh, joy, no cars!
So a message was sent to the realms of
hell
For the railroad men to be
the bell
With a chuckle of fiendish glee.
in pain
On the fiery brimstone bars,
But when the coal man showed up
with his train,
By heavens, he had no cars!
Still back and forth with never a load
The coal man had to go.
It’s reported now that ‘remarkable
road”
Is leased to the B. & O.
And still it runs to the pearly gates
verge,
Down to the fiery bars,
Where these rajlroad officials are chant-
ing their dirge
No Cars—No Cars—No Cars!
And so through the endless cycle of
years
The railroad men line up,
With hope dispelled, with groans and
tears,
As they drain their bitter cup.
While the coal man runs his train on
time
From Gates of Pearl to the Fiery
Bars,
And the railroad men in anguish chime:
No Cars—By Heavens—No Cars!
