To Get the Skin
Thoroughly Clean
the dirt must be worked out—
the skin must be kneaded like
a cloth garment in the wash
tub.
Pompeian Massage Cream
is first rubbed into the pores
loosening the imbedded dirt;
then it is rubbed out, bringing
the dirt with it, removing the
cause of sallow, lifeless com-
plexions, restoring healthy
circulation ; taking away wrin-
kles and animating the tissues.
For women—Pompeian
Cream is a necessity. It makes
the use of toilet powder unnec-
essary. Contains no grease,
leaves no shine, and cannot
induce growth of hair.
For men—it is most delight-
ful after shaving. Takes away
razor soreness and irritation.

The Fusion candidates for Governor,
Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of In-
ternal Affairs and State Senate ran on
the Democratic, Lincoln, Common-
wealth, Referendum and Union Labor
tickets, and their candidate for Auditor
General ran on all these and the Pro-
hibition ticket added.
The Fusion candidates for Congress,
Assembly and Jury Commissioner ran
on the Democratic and Lincoln tickets,
while their candidate for Poor House
Director ran on the same tickets, and
also on the Prohibition ticket.
In spite of all the combinations and
the boodle used by the Fusionists, the
Republican party was more than a
match for the entire aggregation, and
all the Republican candidates carried
the county by from 394 to 1387 votes.
With the exception of Koontz, for
State Senate, all of the Fusion candi-
dates received more votes on the Dem-
ocratic ticket than on the Lincoln
ticket. Koontz received 8 votes more
from the Lincolnites than from the
Democrats.
The highest number of Democratic
votes cast for any candidate was 1833
for Kooser, and the highest Lincoln
vote for any candidate was 1593 for
Koontz.
The lowest Democratic vote cast for
any candidate was 1461 for Lieutenant
Governor and Secretary of Internal
Affairs, and the lowest Lincoln vote
was 1021 for Poor House Director.
Miller’s plurality for State Senator,
in the district, is 40 votes. Cooper’s
plurality in the district, for Congress,
is 4699.

THE OLD HOME PAPER.
When I’m weary, very weary of the
tiresome city sheets
With their putrid social scandals and
there nauseating “beats,”
I enjoy the old home paper, though my
comrades smile and sneer
As they see me scan the items in the
Plunkville “Pioneer.”
Oh, I note with real pleasure that
they’re getting in the hay
And that Uncle Billy Perkins was in
town the other day.
And I’m certainly astonished when I
read that Abner Strong
Raised a radish in his garden thirty-
seven inches long!
Into fields of reminiscence all my
thoughts are swiftly led
When I see that Jabez Baxter has a
buggy painted red.
Once I owned a jaunty sidebar, painted
strictly by the code,
And the bay I had to draw it was the
terror of the road.
But I'll throw aside the paper; it’s a
bore to you, perhaps,
And you care not for the doings of a lot
of country yaps.
It is but- an humble journal,
chronicles small beer,
Yet I like to read the items
Plunkville “Pioneer.”

Another Foul Murder.
Mrs. Wm. Stouffer, a widow 64 years
old who resided in Stonycreek town-
ship, near Lambertsville, this county,
was foully murdered between the
hours of 1 and 2 o’clock, at her resi-
dence, last Friday morning.
The aged lady was found dead in her
bed, with her scull crushed by a ham-
mer in the hands of some unknown as-
sassin.
Nothing in or about the house indi-
cated that the murder was committed
for the purpose af robbery, as nothing
was disturbed, and a pocketbook in a
bureau drawer containing $80 was un-
touched. The woman was evidently
murdered by some secret enemy who
sought revenge, and evidently by some
person well acquainted about the
Stoffer house and surroundings.
Grace and John Auman, aged 15 and
12 years respectively, who are grand-
children of Mrs. Stauffer, slept in the
Stauffer home on the night of the mur-
der. The children slept in separate
rooms, and Grace, who is a well devel-
oped girl for her age, awoke while the
murderer was in the house, felt a
smothering sensation and found a
cloth over her face saturated with what
she believed to be chloroform.
She brushed the cloth aside and was
about to get out of bed, when she was
seized by a man and choked almost
into insensibility. However, shortly
thereafter she got up, aroused her
brother, and as both saw the murderer,
they fled from the house and aroused
some of their neighbors.
Wm. P. Spangler, a son of his and a
man named Boyce hastened to the
Stauffer heme, but by the time they
reached there the murderer had fled.
They tracked him from the house,
thence through an old abandoned road
to the Bedford pike, where the trail
was lost.
The children who saw the murderer
are not able to describe him, further
than to say that he was a medium
sized man. The township constable is
now working on the case.
FAMOUS STRIKE BREAKERS,
The most famous strike breakers in
the land are Dr. King’s New Life Pills.
When liver and bowels go on strike,
they quickly settle the trouble, and the
purifying work goes right on. Best
cure for constipation, headache and
dizziness. 2b6c. at E. H. Miller's drug

Salisbury to Have a New Union
Depot.
The ladies of Salisbury will give a
real up-to-date Union Depot in the
opera house, Friday evening, Nov. 23d,
1908. This will be a genuine union de-
pot with all the funny scenes and situ-
ations one is apt to see in the union de-
pot in Chicago or any other city. The
stage will be made up with its benches,
slot machines, ticket windows, baggage
room, lunch counter, train caller, ticket
seller, -newsboys, matron and scrub
women. But the real interesting and
amusing features will be the passen-
gers with their crinolines, band boxes,
bird cages and carpet bags. There will
be old Uncle Josh Hayseed and his
good wife Sarah about to take the
“keers” to visit their daughter Mary
Ann, who lives in New York city and
puts on "airs. There will be the long-
faced deacon preaching several real
sermons to the worldly passengers.
There will be the woman abandoning
her baby by thrusting it into the arms
of a dignified gentleman and disappear-
ing suddenly into the crowd. There
will be a Mrs. Buttinsky, Carry Nation,
and, indeed, everybody and every char-
acter you can think of.
The Union Depot will be the most
amusing and entertaining entertain-
ment ever given in Salisbury. About
60 of the best local talent will partici-
pate. The entertainment is simply a
picture of a city union depot, with all
the funny scenes and situations one is
likely to see there. The drilling of the
affair is conducted by Miss Ester Per-
kins, who makes a speciality of this en-
tertainment, and who has had unbound
ed success wherever she has produced
it. Miss Perkins is an elocutionist,
graduated from Byron King’s school of
oratory, musical numbers will be given
by local talent.
MADE HAPPY FOR LIFE.
Great happiness came into the home
of 8. C. Blair, school superintendent, at
St. Albans, W. Va., when his little
daughter was restored from the dread-
ful complaint he names. He says: “My
little daughter had St. Vitus’ Dance,
which yielded to no treatment, but grew
steadily worse until as a last resort we
tried Electric Bitters; and I rejoice to
say, three bottles effected a complete
cure.” Quick, sure cure for nervous
complaints, general debility, female
weaknesses, impoverished blood and
malaria. Guaranteed by E. H. Miller,
druggist. Price 50c. 12-1
A Conspiracy That Failed.
Incidentally the Republican victory
in Pennsylvania is a smashing rebuke
to one of the most impudent con-
spiracies that was ever hatched in
Philadelphia. This conspiracy was
primarily for the purpose of central-
izing control of both the Republican
and Democratic parties in Pennsyl-
vania. It was planned to put govern-
orships, United States senatorships,
judgeships and all the various political
offices throughout the commonwealth
at the sweet will of two or three am-
bitious men. A part of this conspiracy
menaced no less a force for good than
the free and untrammeled newspaper
press. Inthe great city of Philadel-
phia, the very birthplace of liberty and
of a free press in the United States, al}
the great newspapers but one were
placed under the heavy hand of the
sinister clique which has so long sought
to wreck the Republican party in the
state and convert it to its own selfish
uses. No use now to inquire into the
methods by which several eminently
respectable journals were debased and
deceived, nor is it necessary to call the
black roll of dishonor which has
shamed a noble profession and abased
men whose careers and antecedents
should have assured a higher concep-
tion of public duty and journaljstic
ethics. The infamy is there, and it is
everlastingly too late to rub it out by
any specious attempt at justification
and apology.
In politics it is sometimes claimed
that “everything is fair,” and possibly
the protest now that the conspiracy
which has failed so dismally had legiti-
mate grounds for its existence will be
passed over with the tolerance of char-
ity, but not so with,the newspaper end
ef the deal. When the dictators of the
anti-Republican plot reached out and
stifled the newspaper press of the third
city in the union they garroted the real
defender of the people’sliberty and the
community’s honor. That was the un-
pardonable crime of the campaign, not
quite a new one in Philadelpia, it is
true, but never so boldly and indefen-
sibly committed as during the past few
months. It was an act as shameful as
treason, and, like treason, it has brought
its harvest of humiliation, defeat and
disgrace to all concerned.—Pittsburg
Gazette Times.
NO QUESTION ABOUT IT.
PEPSIKOLA MUST CURE INDIGESTION
IT IS FREE.
E. H. Miller, Elk Lick, continues to
sell people with the understanding it
must positively cure dyspepsia and in-
digestion or it will not cost a penny.
Experience has proven that epsikola
Tablets cure dyspepsia in forty-nine
cases out of fifty. That is a remarkable
statement, but the facts in the case can
easily be verified.
There is every reason to have confi-
dence, for Mr. Miller will hand back
your 25 cents without hesitation should
you fail of being cured.
All kinds of food can be eaten freely
—it is more easily digested, there is no
fullness or distress after eating, and by
aiding the stomack to assimi ate and
digest, Pepsikola Tablets make more
rich, red blood to strengthen the body.
They are just the thing if you feel
run down, nervous, tired and debilitat-
ed and need something to give you new
life and new energy.
Don’t hesitate a minute, but go right
to Mr. Miller and try Pepsikola Tablets
with the understanding that you must
be decidedly benefited or the cost is
nothing. 12-1

Sawmill Boiler Lets Go, Injuring
Two Young Men.
Last Friday forenoon the boiler ex-
ploded at D. P. Miller’s sawmill, which
is located on Negro Mountain, in Elk
Lick township, where Mr. Miller had
been engaged in sawing lumber for the
Anderson Lumber Company. The mill
was badly wrecked by the force of the
explosion, but fortunately no one was
seriously hurt.
The following named persons were
working about the mill when the boiler
exploded: D.P. Miller and son, John
Tressler, Clay Maust, Nathan Keim
and Lloyd Brenneman. Three of them
were buried under the wreckage, but
none of the men were seriously injured.
Young Miller was slightly scalded and
cut about the head, and John Tressler
was also slightly hurt, but the other
three men escaped without injury. It
is a miracle that all of them were not
killed or seriously injured.
The new Pure Food and Drug Law
will mark it on the label of every
Cough Cure containing Opium, Chloro-
form, or any other stupifying or poi-
sonous drug. But it passes‘Dr. Shoop’s
Cough Cure as made for 20 years, en-
tirely free. Dr. Shoop all along has
bitterly opposed the use of all opiates
or narcotics. Dr. Shoop’s Cough Cure
is absolutely safe, even for the youngest
babe—and it cures, it does not simply
suppress. Get a safe and reliable
Cough Cure, by simply insisting en
having Dr. Shoop’s. Let the law be
your protection. We cheerfully rec-
ommend and sell it. Elk Lick Phar-
