The Salisbury Town Council last night met in special session and grant- ed a new and satisfactory franchise to the Pennsylvania & Maryland Street Railway Co. The Meyersdale Council also granted a new franchise to the said company, and practically all the preliminary details are arranged. Sleeping and boarding quarters are now being arranged for the graders, and grading will be in full operation at an early date.

There is nothing so pleasant as that bright, cheerful, at-peace-with-the- world feeling when you sit down to your breakfast. There is nothing so conducive to good work and good re- sults. The healthy man with a healthy mind and body is a better fellow, a bet- ter workman, a better citizen than the man or woman who is handicapped by some disability, however slight. A slight disorder of the stomach will de- range your body, your thoughts and your disposition. Get away from the morbidness and the blues. Keep your stomach in tune and both your brain and body will respond. Little indis- cretions of overeating can be easily corrected, and you will be surprised to see how much better man you are. Try a little Kodol For Dyspepsia after your meals. Sold by E. H. Miller. 9-1 Congressman Cooper. Hon. Allen Foster Cooper is the right man to vote for this fall for Congress. He stands for the Republican tariff policy, the policy which, as pointed out elsewhere in these columns, stands for the prosperity of the nation in general and of Fayette county in particular. Besides, he is an able and active member, ever watchful of the interests of his constituents, and his two pre- vions terms have given him much ex- perience. This experience is valuable to his constituency as well as to him- self. It takes a few terms to fashion a useful member and establish him in business at Washington. His district then begins to get the value of his po- sition and experience as an older mem- ber. A new member is practically “a dead one,” while the older the service the greater the influence of an able representative. Congressman Cooper's district will undoubtedly keep him at Washington, and they will be wise in so doing.— Connellsville Courier. THE END OF THE WORLD of troubles that robbed E. H.

Mr. Edwin Stuart, Republican can- didate for Governor, also the other Re- publican candidates for State office, will be in Meyersdale on Thursday, Sept. 27th. They will speak on the is- sues of the present campaign, and everybody ought to go and hear them, especially those who need their eyes opened, the duped followers of Emery.

The following from the Philadelphia Inquirer is a whole volume on the po- litical situation in this state: Lewis Emery advocates certain re- forms. Edwin 8. Stuart stands for every one of those reforms. Emery is running on a ticket with three rampant Bryan Democrats and standing on a platform that acclaims Bryan as the next President. Stuart is running on a ticket with three Republicans, who, like himself, are the sincere supporters of and sym- pathizers with President Roosevelt. Pennsylvania is a Republican state, and the administration at Washington needs its endersement and help. It ought to be very easy for any real Republican to make up his mind what to do. Congress and The People. We believe there is not much ground for the fear that the next Congress will be Democratic. The reasons for this belief are: 1. The people are satisfied with the honesty and efficiency of President Roosevelt’s administration. They have confidence in the integrity, and ability and in his purpose to serve the public interest, and they do not wish to handi- cap or embarrass him with a Congress politically adverse to him. 2. The people are satisfied with the work of the last Congress. It did not do all that was desired of it, but it did much, and has to its credit a larger amount of useful and needed legisla- tion than has been enacted by any other Congress for years. The record of the 59th Congress is a good one on which to go to the people. 3. Democrats themselves are not anxious for any change or interruption in the present business policies of the country. Some politicians, of course, for party purposes, would like to see something doing politically, but the rank and file of the Democratic people are not concerned in this direction. They are busy making money, and have made more of it during the Mec- Kinley-Roosevelt regimes than ever before in their lives. They will not be moved by the cries of the politicians for the election of an opposition Con- gress whose only effect would be to create disturbance and distrust. For these and other reasons it does not seem probable that the people will elect a Congress hostile to the Roose- velt administration, which has yet a tenure of nearly two years.—Uniontown News Standard. a ae THE GRIM REAPER. Last night the death angel entered two Salisbury homes, taking from one an old man in the sere and yellow leaf, from the other a young man in the prime of life. SAMUEL STANTON. The subject of this sketch died at about 10 o’clock, last night, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Aaron C. Maust. He was aged 70 years, and was a resi- dent of Illinois, but came east to visit friends several months ago, being in poor health ever since arriving here. Déceased has two half-brothers, Eli and Uriah Stanton, residing near Grantsville, Md. The body has been sent to Illinois for burial. JoHN PRYNN. It is with much sadness that we chronicle the unexpected death of this most excellent man, for his death is a loss to the community as well as to his wife and three little children. Deceased was a native of England, coming to this country with his family about two years ago. He decided to become a citizen of the United States, and accordingly he purchased a little home and settled down in Salisbury, where lie was highly respected by all who knew him, for he was a man of most excellent habits, thrifty, honest, kind-hearted and gentlemanly. Mr. Prynn followed mining for a livelihood, and some weeks ago sus- tained an ugly flesh wound hy getting one of his legs caught between the bumpers of two mine cars. The wound was not considered dangerous, but it seemed to have affected the man’s nervous system, and his death is at- tributed to heartefailure resulting from weak nerves. He was feeling as well as usual when he went to bed, last night, but about 2 o’clock in the morning his faithful wife discovered that he was dead. The sad news shocked the whole community, and much sympathy is felt for the be- reaved wife and children. Mr. Prynn was a devout member of the M. E. church, and the fnneral will take place Friday, at 2:30 p. m., Rev. L. Z. Robinson, the local M. E, pastor of- C. H. Jennings and J. P. Shirk Hurt in Runaway. Messrs. C. H. Jennings and J. P. Shirk, of Jennings, Md., were badly hurt in a runaway, yesterday evening, while driving from Grantsville to Jen- nings. One of their horses stumbled and fell, and about that time one of the lines broke. Next theteam ran against a fence, wrecking the buggy and throw- ing both occupants out. Mr. Jennings is reported to be badly bruised and cut about the head, but by morning was able to walk about. Mr. Shirk is said to be far more seriously hurt, but we do not know the nature or extent of his injuries. We have but a meagre report of the accident as we go to press, but we hope to learn that neither of the gentlemen is hurt as bad as reported. Mr. Jennings is the head of the well known Jennings lumber firm, also President of the Pennsylvania & Mary- land Street Railway Co. Mr. Shirk is the head of the Garrett Lumber Co. DON'T DRAG.

Miller. Barn Destroyed by Lightning. The barn on the old John Folk farm, near Springs, was struck and fired by lightning, last Friday afternoon. The building and most of the contents, con- sisting of hay, grain, implements, etc., went up in smoke. The owner, Mrs. Elizabeth Shoemaker, had $500 insur- ance on the building, but nothing on contents. Her loss is quite heavy. IN SUMMER. Why does the sun burn? Why does a mosquito sting?

It appears to have been determined in Washington county that tqwnship supervisors who do not attend to their duty shall be made to by process of law. At the recent term of court vari- ous constables reported the roads in impassable condition in a number of townships. Ordinarily a proceeding of this kind does not attract much atten- tion, but the court in this instance thought something should be done about it. The constables’ reports were turned over to the District Attorney, and he has written to each delinquent Board of Supervisors to notify them that where an obstruction to travel ex- ists on roads and is due to the neglect of the supervisors they are subject to indictment for a criminal offense, and “the order of the court is that unless repairs are immediately made an in- dictment will be laid before the grand jury.” This is business. It is really what the law requires, but what is not generally done. If the action in Wash- ington county were followed all over the state there would be much less complaint about bad roads.—Philadel- phia Press. Information Concerning The Penn- sylvania State College. In view of the conflicting statements relating to the Presidency and other important positions at The Pennsyl- vania State College, and in order to ‘give the public definite information, the following official declaration is made :— General James A, Beaver, the Presi- dent of the Board of Trustees, has been requested to act as President of the College for the time being, and has sig- nified his willingness to do so. Dr. Judson P, Welsh, formerly Prin- cipal of the Bloomsburg State Normal School, has been elected Vice President and Financial Agent of the College, and also Registrar. He is already giv- ing attention to the details of the Col- lege work, and will remove with his family to the College probably before the first of September. Professor John Hamilton will retain his place as Treasurer of the College, and the details of the Business Office will, as heretofore, be in charge of Mr. John I. Thompson, Jr. Every Department of the College is fully manned and ready for the usual work at the opening of the term, Sep- tember 13th, 1906. Present indications point to the en- rollment of the largest Freshman class in the history of the College. (Signed) H. V. WHITE, Secretary of the Board of Trustees. August 26th, 1908. ficiating.
