Interest- ing sessions are reported, and no doubt much good will result from them. The big boom at the Reitz applebut- ter factory has caused that smile that won’t come off to spread all over the kindly face of our genial friend Mr. Reitz. The applebutter factory and Mr. Reitz are both a credit toour town. Supt. R. S. Garrett, of the Merchants Coal Company. who had been at Sara- toga, N.

Stretcher was a caller at THE STAR office today. He is at the head of the Meyersdale Commercial College, and reports that his institution is meeting with gratifying success. The Meyersdale Commercial College is as good a business college as any of them. Blackberries are so plentiful along the line of the Kane & Elk railroad that that road is running special ex- cursions from Kane to James City for the pickers. Two trains leave for the berry patches daily. There are thou- sands of wagonloads of the luscious berries in sight.—Oil City Derrick. It is said that the B. & O, Railroad Company is seriously considering the double-tracking of that division of its road connecting Connellsville, Pa., and Fairmont, W.Va. It issaid that if the Connellsville-Fairmont division is double-tracked, that the Confluence- Cameron cut-off will be abandoned. In January, 1908, the Merchants’ Loan and Trust Company, the oldest bank in Chicago, created an advertis- ing department, and during the first six months of the year as many new savings accounts were opened as there were during the entire year 1905. And yet some people say it does’ not pay to advertise. Mrs. F. O. Livengood, of Somerset, was a business caller at Tae STAR of- fice on Tuesday. Mrs. Livengood is much pleased at the prospect for the early completion of our trolley line, and thinks that will bring her and Mr. Livengood back to their farm again, near Boynton. We hope it will, for they are the best kind of people.

McKinley is lowering his pavement to conform with the grade in front of Frank Petry’s house. Now, as soon as the bank in front of the residence of Morgan Williams is cut down to conform with the same grade, Grant street will present a de- cidedly improved appearance; but the grade will never be lawful or binding upon any one until the ordinance es- tablishing it is duly published and posted. No one would buy a sailboat with sails that could not be reefed. There is always that possibility of a little too much wind that makes a cautious man afraid to go unprovided. The thinking man, whose stomach sometimes goes back on him, provides for his stomach by keeping a bottle of Kodol For Dys- pepsia within reach. Xodol digests what you eat and restores the stomach. Seld by E. H. Miller, 9-1 The story of life is about as follows: We work to get money to buy food, to gain more strength to do more work to get more money to buy more food, to gain mor strength to do more work to get more money to buy more food, to gain more strength to do more work to get more money to buy more food, to gain more strength to do more work, &c. We keep this up until we are swallowed up in the grave, and there you are. Mr. Frank Stotler, of Meyersdale, and Miss Minnie Fallon, of West Salis- bury, were recently married in Cum- berland, Md., and last night the young men of West Salisbury treated the couple to an old time tin-pan and cow- bell serenade, at the bride’s home. The groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. E. O. L. Stotler, and the bride a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Fallon. Tae STAR joines the many friends of the young couple in congratulations and best wishes. Our friend Jacob D. Miller returned from Laneville, W. Va., Tuesday even- ing. He had been working there dur- ing the past three weeks for a big lum- ber company, loading pulp wood. Mr. Miller says lumbering will be a great industry in the vicinity of Laneville for the next 256 years. The country is wild and mountainous, covered with valuable forests, in which all manner of wild game abounds, and the moun- tain streams are literally alive with speckled trout and other fish. You can see the poison Pine-ules clears out of the kidneys and bladder. A single dose at bedtime will show you more poison upon rising the next morn- ing than can be expelled from the sys- tem in any other way. Pine-ules dis- solve the impurities, lubricate the kid- neys, cleanse the bladder, relieve pain and do away with back-ache speedily, pleasantly, permanently.

One knee and both feet are badly burned, but Dr. Perry thinks the burns will heal without leaving any serious results. The same day our six-year-old son, William, also met with a painful accident. He was at play with some other children, when he stepped on some sharp instrument and cut an ugly gash in his foot. Verily, misfor- tunes do not come singly. A word to you, sonny—jyou little twelve or thirteen-year-old boy who is smoking cigarettes on the sly—What do you want to be when you grow up— a stalwart, healthy, vigorous, broad- shouldered man or a little, puny, meas- ly, no’count, weak-minded dude? If you want to be a man, big like a man, strong like a man, with hair on your face, brains in your head, and muscles in your limbs, you just let those cigar- ettes alone. If you want to be thin, pitied by your folks, dispised by the girls, and held in contempt by your fellows, keep right on smoking and end your days in the insane asylum.—Ex. A hundred years ago the best phy- sician would give you a medicine for your heart without stopping to consider what effect it might have on the liver. Even to this good day cough and cold medicines invariably bind the bowels. This is wrong. Bee’s Laxative Cough Syrup with Honey and Tar acts on the bowels—drives out the cold—clears the head, relieves all coughs, cleanses and strengthens the mucous membranes of the throat, chest, lungs and bronchial tubes.

Grove, of Frederick county, Md., also by Masters Harold and Grove White, two nephews of Mr. and Mrs. Biser, from Kansas City, Mo. The father of Mrs. Biser is 83 years old, but he dosen’t look it by 10 years, and he is one of the most active and entertain- ing old men we have ever met. The nephews of Mr. and Mrs. Biser are aged 11 and 18 years respectively, and they made the trip from Kansas City to this place alone. They are a jolley pair of lads, as bright as a dollar, and they are smart enough to travel anywhere alone. Paul Gross, the well-known and pop- ular Meyersdale druggist, knows a good advertising medium after giving it a fair trial. He carried a small “ad” in TrE STAR for several months, which, small as it was, brought good returns. Now he greets our readers with a larger “ad,” which is doing the proper thing, as THE STAR has a bigger circu- lation in the rich locality in which it is published than all other county papers combined. Business men who go after the patronage of our excellent class of readers, through our columns, usually get = liberal share of it. And right here we assure you that all our adver- tisers are good, reliable people,* and none more so than Druggist Gross. Eld. Howard Keim and children, and Dr. P. 8. Keim and wife, went to Elkins, W. Va., Monday, to visit other members of the Keim family. Elder Keim and children were guests of the editor and family, Sunday evening, and we enjoyed their visit very much. “Old Bud,” as we used to call him in his younger days, is one of the biggest- hearted and most brainy men this town IST NATIONAL LIE RT AY, 0.

An original form of advertising comes from Russia, where a shop-keep- er posted up the following announce- ment: “The reason why 1 have hitherto been able to sell my goods so much cheaper than anybody else is that IT am a bacheler, and do not need to make a profit for the maintenance of a wife and children. “It is now my duty to inform the public that this advantage will shortly be withdrawn from them, as I am about to be married. They will, therefore, do well to make their purchases at once at the old rate.” The result was that there was such a | run on the shop that in the course of a few days this shopkeeper had made money enough to pay the expense of his wedding on a very lavish scale.— Selected. Talking Oil and Gas. Several gentlemen interested in the oil and gas development of West Va. have been here during the past two weeks, and have examined carefully several topographical and sectional maps at this office. One of the gentle- men was a representative of the Stand- ard Oil Co., and another represented an independent refinery. In conversa- tion with them we find that they are making an investigation of this terri- tory with a view of prospecting for gas, and poseibly oil, and one of them ex- pressed the belief that it could be found in this territory, but at considerable depth.—Oakland Journal. Arrested For Tampering With Mail. Clifford J. Edwards, formerly em- ployed by the Pen-Mar Supply Com- pany, at Macdonaldton, as book-keeper, was arrested in Baltimore on Sunday, charged with tampering with United States mail. The postoffice, which is in the store- room of the Pen-Mar Supply Company, handles considerable mail, a quantity of which was missed some weeks ago. Inspector Gibbons, recently assigned to this district, made an investigation of the affair, and finally traced Ed- wards to his home in Baltimore, where the arrest was made.—Berlin Gleaner. Anything to Get to Harrisburg. General W. H. Koontz has been nom- inated for state senator for the Somer- set-Bedford-Fulton district by the Democrats. What a spectacle the doughty old Republican of former days will make with the great unwashed |— Quemahoning Sentinel. WHEN A MAN TELLS YOU it does not pay to advertise, he is simply ad- mitting that he is conducting a busi- ness that is not worth advertising, a business conducted by a man unfit to do business, and a business which should be advertised for sale. tf HAVE YOU SENT YOUR DOLLAR? TO REPUBLICANS: We are anxious to have every Re- publican in close touch, and work- ing in harmony with the Republican National Congressional Committee in favor of the election of a Republican Congress. The Congressional campaign must be based on the administrative and legislative record of the party, and, that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's personality must be a central figure and his achievements a central thought in the campaign, We desire to maintain the work of this campaign with popular subscrip- tions of One Dollar each from Repub- licans.
