WM. H. KOONTZ.
He Must be Judged by the Political
Company He Keeps.
General Wm. H. Koontz, who in fact
never was a general in the army or
anywhere else, neither a soldier, except
a soldier of fortune, recently went to
see Mr. Guffey, the big Democratic
boss of the Pennsylvania Democrocy.
He went to see Mr. Guffey for the pur-
pose of helping him to manipulate
Democratic and half-breed politics. In
speaking of his recent vieit to Mr. Guf-
fey, the Pittsburg Gazette Times of last
Saturday made the following mention:
“Gen. W. H. Koontz, of Somerset,
called on Guffey today to urge him to
nominate Emery. Koontz will prob-
ably be the Lincoln-Democratic candi-
date for Senator in the Somerset-Bed-
ford-Fulton district. Joseph Levy says
the Democrats will indorse him at their
convention on June 23." At the same
time the program is to nominate W. H.
Ruppel, Democrat, and F. P. Saylor,
Republican, for Assemblymen. Levy
says the sentiment of Somerset Demo-
crats is favorable to Emery.”
What more evidence is needed to
prove that Committeeman Chas. F.
Cook did the proper thing by refusing
to let Gen. Koontz vote at the late Re-
publican primary? None whatever.
The foolish old man knew that he had
neither a legal nor a moral right to
vote at a Republican primary, and
that’s why he refused to be sworn as to
his right to vote, or as to his intentions
of supporting the Republican ticket
next fdll. Furthermore, General
Koontz violated the law when he at-
tempted to vote at the primary of the
Republican party, of which he is no
longer a member. No wonder he turn-
ed red in the face, for no doubt shame,
more than anger, brought the crimson
to his cheeks.
Koontz has been doing nothing but
heifering around with Democrats and
soreheads for the past few years, and
his sole aim seems to be to hold office
and disrupt the Republican party. He
wasn’t worth a hill of beans to his con-
stituents when he was in the Legisla-
ture, and there is no earthly reason
why be should be returned by the Re-
publicans or any other party. He can
play poker in Somerset as well as in
Harrisburg, and if he enters the race
for State Senate the people will dscide
by their votes that the balance of his
poker playing must be done at home.
Koontz had it in his power a few years
ago to round out his life in brilliancy
and splendor, but he has chosen to
make a blamed fool of himself by mix-
ing with and listening to the honeyed
words of the same wily politicians that
for years maligned him and pursued
him with deadly hate and malice.
POOR OLD JOHN WEAVER!
If ever there was a monumental ass,
a monumental sham, a monumental
nothing in the guise of a man posing as
a reformer, that monumental ass, sham
and nothing is John Weaver, Mayor of
Philadelphia. Of all the venal tools
elected to office by the old Philadelphia
gang, Weaver was easily the most oli-
able and most venal of the lot, even if
he was less dependable todo the gang’s
bidding than some of his predecessors
were.
He served the old gang faithfully,
without blush or apology, until the
Wanamaker gang captured him soul
and dody by holding out to him glit-
tering promises which they never in-
tended to fulfill. The Wanamaker
gang had only contempt for the driv-
eling nonentity, but they knew that in
his shallow brain lurked much selfish
ambition, and so they made him be-
lieve that they would make him the
next Governor of Pennsylvania if he
would only forsake the gang that made
him Mayor, an office which he is utterly
unfit to fill.
Simple “Johnny” swallowed the al-
luring bait, hook, sinkers and all, but
at the State conventions thus far held
his name wasn’t even mentioned, al-
though he had frequently expressed
his willingness, prior to the conven-
tions, to run in the interest of reform
and decent state government. But
Weaver's candidacy was even too ab-
surd for Van Valkenberg, the Wana-
maker leader, to stomach, and the
Wanamaker crowd now have Mayor
Weaver just where they want him—
discredited by his former political as-
sociates and despised by his would-be
fellow reformers.
In short, Mayor Weaver is the pos-
sessor of a beautiful gold brick from
Wanamaker’s bargain counter, and
that means that nothing is now in
possession of nothing that the Wana-
maker gang had promised. Poer old
John Weaver! He is politically dead
and rotten, and stinks like a decaying
dog on a dunghill.
FUSION AND pEMOCRACY.
The Connellsville Courier voices THE
following»
“Put none but Democrats on guard !”
is the slogan of Colonel Guffey. We
shall see. Fusion was not objection-
able to him when Berry was elected.
Perhaps it will not be again if all the
advantages go with the Democrats. In
the meantime, the Prohibition party
seems content to declare that it “helps
some” to elect successful candidates.
It has lost sight of its cherished prin-
ciples in its effort to become a circulat-
ing commodity in the market of politi-
cal dealings.
Already, in Fayette county, Colonel
Likins, its restless local leader, is plan-
ning a fusion with the Democrats on
the Legislative ticket. Rum and wa-
ter have been known to mix, but the
mixture was never regardéd as a Pro-
hibition drink. The Democratic party
from the days of Jefferson has ever de-
clared against sumptuary legislation,
which is to say legislation affecting the
right of the individual to eat and drink
and wear what he pleases, a doctrine
which is diametrically opposed to Pro-
hibition.
But the Democratic party of to-day
is not the party of Jefferson. It is a
party of opposition, willing to hug to
its breast any old or new issue, any
familiar or any strange doctrine, if it
promises victory and the substantial
fruits thereof.
The Democratic party does not con-
sequently command the confidence of
the people and is not strong enough to
win a victory without outside assist-
ance. Fusion is necessary to its very
existence.
BERLIN DOCTOR SUED FOR $10,000.
Robert B. Walker Asks Heavy Dam-
ages from Dr. W. P. Shaw.
Tuesday morning suit was entered
against Dr. W. P. Shaw, of this place,
by Robert B. Walker, of Summit town-
ship, for damages in the sum of $10,000,
on account of an operation for the re-
moval of a tumor. Action was brought
by plaintiff’s brother, Attorney Charles
W. Walker, and Coffroth & Ruppel.
Mr. Walker sets forth in his state-
ment that early last year he employed
Dr. Shaw to remove a small tumor on
the right shoulder, with which he was
afflicted, and that he also at the sug-
gestion of defendant secured Dr. R. J.
Heffley to administer the anaesthetic,
and that on April 22 both physicians
came to his house for the purpose of
performing the operation.
Plaintiff charges that defendant cut
into the left shoulder and removed a
portion of the muscle before discover-
ing that he had made a mistake and
cut into the wrong shoulder, and then
afterward proceeded to remove the 'tu-
mor from the right shoulder. Mr.
Walker claims that he has suffered
great pain, and that he has'to a large
extent lost the use of his left arm and
shoulder, and also the proper use of
the head and neck, wherefore he claims
that he is permanently injured, and
has sustained damages to the amount
of $10,000.
Dr. Shaw is one of the foremost prac-
titioners in this locality and enjoys a
wide reputation both as a physician
and surgeon. As a man and as.-a doc-
tor he is held in high esteem by the
people of this community. The case is
in the hands of his attorneys, Messrs.
Hay & Hay.—Berlin Record.
If Dr. Shaw committed the horrible
and inexcusable blunder that Mr.
Walker alleges was committed upon
him, the injured man ought to have
every cent that he has brought suit for.
While it is hard to believe that any
see how Mr. Walker could be mistaken
whether he wasn’t.

ment of your business.
STAR’s sentiments to the letter in the
doctor would commit such a stupid and
woful blunder as the plaintiff mentions
in his information, yet we can hardly
in his allegations, for he surely ought
to know whether he was carved in the
shoulder where there was no tumor, or

Every day there are more and more
mail order offices springing up all over
the country who offer stock in one
band and merchandise in the other.
They get the farmer’s money, and about
all he gets for it is the sensation of
holding some pretty lithographed:
shares in some unknown concern, a
thousand miles away, and nothing to
show what they are backed up by. The
recent failure of the First National Co-
operative Society and the closing of the
American Reserve Bond Co. as a fraud
concern, are good examples of all that.

vestments. The retailers, meanwhile,.
are trying to educate them to home-

clever things they lay these efforts to
selfishness merely, when, as a matter of”
fact, it is to the best interest of both:
that the farmers leave the city con-
‘cerns alone and spend their money
where they will themselves get the
good out of it.—Merchants Review.

‘1 A Desperate Encounter With a Cat.
The farm of Charles Warnick, located
on Manadier’s Ridge, east of Bittinger,
was the scene of a desperate and al-
most fatal encounter with a common
house cat,one day last week. The cat
was discovered by some members of
the family to be haunting the poultry
house and killing large numbers of
young chickens, and when Clarence:
and his two sisters attempted to kill
the animal, the creature became infur-
iated and immediately set upon them,
and before they could dispose of it, the
three were bitten about the hands, Mr..
Warnick having the second finger on
his left hand badly lacerated. Little-
attention was paid to the wound, but
after a few hours the wound became so-
serious as to require medical attention..
Dr. Robison, of Grantsville, was sum-
moned, but was unable to effect any
relief, and on Saturday the patient was
taken to Cumberland for special treat-
ment.—Oakland Journal.
Wild Animals at Large.
Somewhere in the neighborhood of
Johnstown, or else at the bottom of the-
river somewhere, are 18 animals which:
have it in their power to do a great
deal of damage. These 18 animals of
different classes were those confined in
the menagerie at Island park. They
escaped from their cages during the
high water, yesterday morning, and are-
now said to be roaming at large
through the country. A man living in
Moxham was at his breakfast yester--
day morning when a wolf looked in the
kitchen door. There were no persons
in that house 10 seconds. A farmer
living above the Blough farm saw a
wildeat in his farmyard last evening.
An ocelot has been seen in the woods
along Westmont hill, according to re-
ports received last night. The park
management states that there escaped
from the park zoo several ocelots, two:
lynx, several armadillos, some wolves;
a Mexican boar and a number of birds.
Just where these are is unknown, but
many people will undoubtedly go in
search of big game today and tomor-
row.—Johnstown Democrat.
