“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. M.
Bruce, of Farmville, Va. Best for old
Ulcers, Cuts, Burns and Wounds. 25c.

Celebrated His Eightieth Birthday
Anniversary.
Our esteemed fellow citizen, Mr.
John J. 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.

DEATH OF THE PENNSYLVANIA
DEMOCRACY.
BY ARTHUR G. 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.”

A SWEET BREATH.
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
