The Connellsville Courier is authority for the statement tnat Mr. Horner Las cancer. A Confluence reader writes that our editorials are getting “too dam smart” and are making the Democrats up that way real mad. We didn’t know there were any Democrats in Somerset coun- ty.

Sixty-one years ago this sum- mer, George Haberkorn and John Boemecke came to this country from Germany, in the same vessel, and lo- cated on farms within one mile of each other, in Dubuque county, where they have been neighbors and the warmest of friends for 61 years. Both have been ailing for a few weeks past, and at exactly twelve o'clock, Monday night, both passed away, each leaving a family of ten children, all living.— Lanark (I11.) Gazette. A youth came to Cumberland from a rural district to clerk in a store. His friends told him before he left home that he had better be on the lookout. as the town people would try to guy him, He had only been in the store a few days when a man stepped in and asked for some bird seed. The youth looked at his customer and smiled: The customer grew angry and wanted to know what was the matter with the clerk. The latter chuckled and said: “You can’t fool me. I know that birds grow from eggs and not from seeds,” says the Cumberland Courier. The Salisbury borough and Elk Lick township schools opened last Monday with a large attendance. Inthe town- ship the fool vaccination law will be sensibly ignored, as usual, but with a few vaccination cranks in the school board, and at least one in our corps of teachers, here in the borough, parents are insulted and children tortured and poisoned as heretofore in order that doctorcraft may flourish and its greed feed fat upon the helpless children. For the good of our schools and the public health, it is about time to get | rid of the fanatics who impress the helpless children as heartless wretches by enforcing a law that’s a crime against God and man. Veterans’ Reunion at Gettysburg. The 133d Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, will hold its an- nual reunion at Gettysburg, October 3.

In the mad, pell mell rush-of our life little things are done to offend that we rather re- mained undone. A hastily eaten meal and its resultant headache may cause us social or financial loss. The wise man or woman is the one who relieves little ills of this sort by a little dose of Kodol For Dyspepsia. It digests what you eat and puts your stomach back into shape. Sold by E. H.

Last Saturday morning a small force of graders and a team were put to work on the trolley line that is soon to connect Salisbury with Meyersdale. The men were started just outside of the borough limits of Salisbury, work- ing northward. More men and more teams have since been added, and each day the working force is a little larger. The grade is already completed to the bluff back of John M. Write’s farm buildings, and the work will be pushed to com- pletion with all possible speed. How- ever, just how soon the cars will be running depends largely upon the weather. If winter sets in at the usual time, the road will not likely be in operation before some time next spring. But if enough men can be secured, and we have a mild, open winter, there is a possibility of having the ears running by the 1st of next January. With a power house and one bridge to build, as well as grading, laying track, erecting poles, ete., it will be seen at a glance that it would be a big undertaking to try to complete the road by Jan. 1st, even under the most favorable circumstances. Therefore we must have patience, but that the road will be completed at the very earliest possible moment, we have every assurance. THE BREATH OF LIFE. It’s a significant fact that the strong- est animal of its size, the gorilla, also has the largest lungs. Powerful lungs means powerful creatures. ' How to keep the breathing organs right should be man’s chiefest study. Like thou- sands of others, Mrs. Ora A. Stephens, of Port Williams. O.. has learned how to do this. She writes: “Three bot- tles of Dr. King’s New Discovery stop- ped my cough of two years and cured me of what my friends thought con- sumption. O, it’s grand for throat and lung troubles.” Guaranteed by E. H. Miller, druggist. Price 50c. and $1.00. Trial bottle free. 10-1 An Automobile Wreck and Some of the Remarks it Brought Forth. On Tuesday evening while Dr. Me- Millen, of Meyersdale, was on his way home from Salisbury in an automobile, a broken axle caused his machine to leave the road and crash into a picket fence a short distance north of this town. Fortunately for the doctor, but per- haps unfortunately for drivers of teams and others who also have rights on the public highways, he escaped unhurt. When the accident happened, the doc- tor was violating the law by exceeding the speed limit prescribed by law, and also by not having his automobile lamps lit. The accident happened after dusk, when automobilists are re- quired by law to have their lamps lit. As soon as the news of the accident reached town, it was amusing to hear the expressicns of the people. “It’s a pity he didn’t break his infernal, worthless neck,” and other remarks of a similar nature were freely made. This paper is a friend of the automo- bile, but it has no use for the automo- bile fool who shows little or no regard for the rights of others who use the public roads, and we regret to say that much complaint has been coming to our ears concerning certain automo- bilists who seem to take a fiendish de- light injtrightening teams and endan- gering the lives of persons riding in buggies and other vehicles. The sensible automobilist is at all times a gentleman, and takes every precaution to avoid frightening horses and causing accidents. It is a lament- able fact, however, that not all auto- mobilists are gentlemen, and there seems to be an unusual amount of com- plaint against Dr. McMillen and Tom Gurley, who conducts a blackjack store or some such joint in Meyersdale. In justice to McMillen and Gurley, we must say that we have never seen any of their alleged high-handed capers, except McMillen’s exceeding the speed limit and not having his lights lit, Tuesday evening. However, the complaints that reach us seem to be well founded, and if true, McMillen and Gurley will get something one of these days that they will not relish, as certain parties are said to be prepared to make angels of them or prepare them for a long visit to a hospital. STARVING TO DEATH. Because her stomach was so weaken- ed by useless drugging that she could not eat, Mrs. Mary H. Walters, of St. Clair St., Columbus, O., was literally starving to death. She writes: “My stomach was so weak from useless drugs that I could not eat, and my nerves so wrecked that I could not sleep ; and not before I was given up to die was I'induced to try Electric Bit- ters; with the wonderful result that improvement began at once, and a com- plete cure followed.” Best health Tonic on earth. 50c.
