THE ELK LICK DRUG STORE. “SECRETARY CRITCHFIELD is reported to be able to sit up and take notice,” says the Somerset Herald. That’s about all “Timmie” and “Bobbie” Scull have been able to do ever since losing their grip on the Republican county organization. It sets real hard on them to be kept away from the political pie counter, and in their delirium they often notice dire things that do not exist. Poor degenerate things! ——————— Tae failure to substantiate the charges in any of the conspiracy cases in Philadelphia indicates that someone worked the hot air reform pump to the limit. But since those who worked the pump have accomplished their purpose they probably are chuckling over the result. There now may be some sus- picion that conspiracy was looked for in the wrong direction, and the people of Philadelphia may be like the Indian who said, *White man fools Injun once, that’s white man’s fault; fool Injun again, that’s Injun’s fault.”—Somerset Standard. It is a wonder that the old “gineral” didn’t choke when he made his little speech to the Democratic county con- vention, thanking that body for ine structing conferees to support him for the Democratic-fusion nomination for State Senator. The ‘“gineral” said he was somewhat surprised at the action of the convention, but he didn’t mean that at all, for he knew in advance that the convention would instruct for his nomination, and he also knew that he was legging for the job for months in advance of the convention. A good many of the ‘“gineral’s” statements should be taken with salt. THE old squeaking Scull family or- gan, the Somerset Herald, still squeaks and harps about the tax-payers of Somerset county being robbed and plundered by the county officials, since it is no longer customary for the coun- ty’s public servants to take orders from the Herald office. The Herald, how- ever, studiously avoids making any di- rect accusations, because it knows it is lying, and could not substantiate a single charge if brought into court. It is only howling for political effect. Those who are conscious of fraud per- petrated against the county, and do not give a bill of particulars, and bring prosecutions, are not good citizens. If the Herald knows of any graft and thieving going on in the county offices, let it do its duty by the tax-payers and bring the grafters to justice, or else hold its peace. The people want facts and proof in such matters, not mere assertions for dirty political purposes. A TRULY great man will never sub- mit to wearing a title that is mislead- ing, and which he is not entitled to. When Wm. H. Koontz recruited a com- pany of soldiers for the War of the Re- bellion, with which company it was heralded that he was going to the front, he decided, when the test came, to remain at home. Then people be- gan to call him “general,” in derision, but the title sounded so good to him that he clung tenaciously to it ever since, and has been posing as a real general of the Rebellion before many an audience who never dreamed that the “general” wasn’t all through the Civil War. If Koontz were anything but a sham and a pretender, he would long ago have taken the trouble to correct the wrong impression held by so many people, namely, that he was a general in the Civil War. But he prefers to wear the misleading and undeserved title, thus obtaining honor and notori- ety to which he knows he is not en- titled. Koontz a great man? Bah! Greatness is a cheap commodity if any of it can be detected in Wm. H. Koontz, by those who know him best. WaeEN Wm. H. Koontz, the so-called general who never donned a soldier’s uniform nor never smelled gun-powder, was a candidate lor the Legislature on the Republican ticket, several years ago, he didn’t boast of helping to make the state of Pennsylvania go Demo- cratic in 1882. He was glad at that time if no one else reviewed his past political record. Now, however, he boasts of how he stumped the state against the regular Republican ticket in 1882, and what an important part he played in the defeat of that gallant old one-legged Union veteran, General James A. Beaver, who a few years later was elected Governor and served with great credit to himself and to the com- monwealth. His administration was a clean and honorable one. Yet Wm. H. Koontz took the stump against Beaver in 1882, knowing full well at the time that Colonel John Stewart, the man Koontz was for, stood no show what- ever of election, and that there could be but one result—Democratic victory. That Democratic victory did the state of Pennsylvania no good whatever, but it gratified the personal whims of the “gineral” and a lot of other small fry politicians, who always want to befoul the nest if they can’t rule the roost. LOOK A LITTLE AHEAD. It is always well to have a box of salve in the house. Sunburn, cuts, bruises, piles and boils yield to De- Witt’s Witch Hazel Salve. Should keep a box on hand at all times to pro- vide for emergencies. For years the standard, but followed by many imi- tators. Be sure you get the genuine DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve. Sold by E. H. Miller. 8-1 As the ‘“‘General’s” Candidacy is Viewed by the Q. Sentinel. It is quite pitiful, yea, almost tearful, to contemplate the fact that our dear old friend, General W. H. Koontz, twice a representative in Congress as a Republican, has, in the seventy-sixth year of his age, been induded to accept the Democratic nomination for State Senator. The good old general gener- ally gets in on the front end of political reform movements in Somerset county, only to slide off the rear end into po- litical perplexity when his reform child develops into a political faction. The general has never seemed to grasp the true philosophy of politics, that the only successful way to reform a politi- cal organization is to fight corruption within its own lines. While General Koontz might always have remained an honored and influential member of the Republican party, it is hardly to be doubted that the Democracy will make such use of him as it may, and then ruthlessly cast him aside, an empty and broken vessel. And thus will close his political career in failure and ignominy. Indeed it is sad.—Que- mahoning Sentinel. TWENTY YEAR BATTLE. “I was a loser in a twenty year battle with chronic piles and malignant sores, until I tried Bucklen’s Arnica Salve; which turned the tide, by curing both, till not a trace remains,” writes A.

Keim, was 80 years old on Monday last. The event was appro- priately celebrated at the residence of his son, Norman B. Keim, who, with other members of the Keim family, bad arranged to give their father a pleasant surprise on his 80th birthday anniver- sary. About fourteen couples were present to do honor to the occasion, and one feature of the day was a sup- per fit for a king. The guest of honor received many handsome presents, and one that he is particularly pleased with is a very handsome and expensive easy chair. John J. Keim is a remarkably well preserved man for one of his years— still possessing all his mental faculties and a firm elastic step. He bids fair to live a goodly number of years yet, and he has the respect and good will of the entire community. The anniversary party was made up of children, grand-children, one great- grandchild and numerous other near relatives and friends. Re Favor a Prohibitionist, Perhaps. The persons who pretend to, and per- haps do, boss Democratic politics in Somerset county, say George H. Hock- ing, of Meyersdale, a Prohibitionist, is to receive the district nomination for Congress. * And this arrangement is declared without the knowledge or consent of Capt. Kooser, who was en- dorsed by the Democrats for Congress. Time will tell how the proposed deal will work out, says the Somerset Stand- ard. Some Natural Curiosities. Messrs. Dennis Wagner and J. M. Glotfelty showed us some very inter- esting natural curiosities, this week. Mr. Wagner has several very odd specimens of fungus growth taken from an old prop ina coal mine. The best specimen contains the shape of two human feet, a human band, a crocodile’s foot, and the figure of a fish head hold- ing something in its mouth. Mr. Glotfelty has a laurel root speci- men that closely resembles the head of a babboon. He will have artificial eyes placed in the specimen, which will give it a very lifelike appearance. eet A HARD LOT of troubles to contend with, spring from a torpid liver and blockaded bowels, unless you awaken them to their proper action with Dr, King’s New Life Pills; the pleasantest and most effective cure for Constipation.

BURGOYNE, Call in the undertaker and with care Let him directly for the graye prepare The bloomin’ “stiff” which, when alive, was called Democracy. Now battered, bruised and mauled It lies with not a sign to indicate That it was once a pow’r within our state. Poor; battered thing! Beholding it to- ay The soul is filled with pity and dismay. Had but Democracy in honest strife Heroically yielded up its life Its S0d at least would have been digni- ed. But, as it is, a craven death it died. As usual the Grand Old Party which For combat ready. never knows a hitch, Threw down its gage and waited for the foe To take the field as in the past and show Its boasted mettle. No one dreamed that e’er The proud minority would dodge for air. But see what happened. Wanamaker came Again to venture in the frisky game Of politics his high ambition. Thus He oft before had tried, with mighty uss And vast spectacular display, but ne'er Could John eatch on. They downed him ev’rywhere. In vain within the Grand Old Party's ines He tried repeatedly his monkeyshines. In vain outside the ranks he tried to win His point. The mob responded “Don’t butt in.” Knocked out at ev’ry point, it seemed that he A leader in our state could never be. But John woke up again and took his cue From public unrest ev’rywhere in view. Here was the chance. He called his agents twain, Van Valkenburg and Gordon and their train Of workers, saying, “Ere it is too late, Sandbag the Democrats and make their slate.” ‘Twas done. hoarse sob Callopsed. and those that did the cruel jo Set up a ticket bearing at the head No Democratic name.

A sweet breath adds to the joys of a kiss. You wouldn’t want to kiss your wife, mother or sweetheart with a bad breath. You can’t have a sweet breath without a healthy stomaeh. You can’t have a healthy stomach without per- fect digestion. There is only one rem- edy that digests what you eat and makes the breath as sweet as a rose— and that remedy is KODOL FOR DYS- PEPSTIA. It is a relief for sour stom- ach, palpitation of the heart, and other ailments arising from disorder of the stomach and digestion. Take a little Kodol after your meals and see what it will do for you. Sold by E. H. Mil- ler. 8-1 Two from the Q. Sentinel. Professor D. F. Enoch, who visited with his son, C. F., for a week, returned to his home in Tyrone, Monday. A postoffice inspector was in Boswell, Tuesday, looking after affairs. He found everything in satisfactory shape in our postoffice. Owing to the fact that the commissions of Postmaster Ferrell have not reached $250 per quar- ter for four consecutive quarters, the office will not go to the Presidential class at this time. The law requires that the office shall yield an annual total revenue of at least $1900 a year, and the'commission of the postmaster shall aggregate $250 per quarter for a year to get the Third class rank Boswell’s office has reached this re- quirement for only two quarters, and cannot, therefore, go to the Presiden- tial class until January 1. AN OVERWORKED STOMACH. Try a little KODOL FOR DYSPEP- SIA after your meals. See the effect it will produce on your general feeling by digesting your food and helping your stomach to get itself into shape. Many stomachs are overworked to the point where they refuse to go further. Kodol digests gyour food and gives your stomach the rest it needs, while its re- constructive properties get the stomach back into working order. Xodol re- lieves flatulence, sour stomach, palpi- tation of the heart, belching, etc. Sold by E. H. Miller. 8-1
