[ag tL: Lick Drug olore, the system by gently moving the bowels. — | eure.” For some reason the Somerset Dem- ocrat, Somerset Herald, Meyersdale Commercial and a few other Mugwump papers in Somerset county have'nt published any of those “tell-tale fig- gers” since the election. The leaders of the Scullocratic hosts found it a lit- tle too big a job to deliver all their former followers into the hands of the Democrats. gr ti THE Johnstown Tribune sees no re< lief from the scarcity of labor, save through foreign immigration. The pro- fessional loafers and beats won’t work. It is difficult to legislate good habits into a man, but there ought to be some means of ridding the country of the drones whose vicious example is de- moralizing to the rising generation, says the Connellsville Courier. Tue Greensburg Argussays, concern- ing the last election, “there is little to rejoice over,” and the Connellsville Courier adds—"‘yes, little for the Dem- ocrats.” The Courier is mistaken. The Democrats have much to rejoice over. They should rejoice and be ex- ceeding glad that their bughouse brand of politics failed to win, and we believe that some of them are glad of it. Waex W. H. Koontz, Esq.,, was a candidate on the Republican ticket for the General Assembly, a few years ago, some of the so-called Stalwarts de- nounced him in the most scathing terms, declaring that he was not a Re- publican, and for that reason they could not vote for him. This year, however, when Mr. Koontz was first nominated for office by the Democrats, and later endorsed by the mugwump Lincoln party, then some of the same so-called Stalwarts declared Koontz ss good a Republican as anybody. It seems strange indeed that a man can- not be a Republican when regularly nominated and running on the* Repub- lican ticket, but can be as good a Re- publican as anybody when running on the Democratic ticket. The real Stal- wart Republicans did not take that kind of a view of it, but the bogus ones who did, should be sent to some shop where brains and think tanks are re- paired. et TrHE Somerset Herald and one or two other Bolter organs have been sneer- ingly calling attention to the fact that the Republicans polled their heaviest votes in this county inthe rural or backwoods districts, at the last election. Well, what of it? The percentage of illiteracy is smaller in the rural dis- tricts than in the towns, and the country people are not the ignoramuses that the Bolter organs would have you believe. Besides, it is almost invaria- bly in the towns where senseless fusion political movements start, for in the towns is where you always find a big lot of idlers, tricksters and political shysters who have axes to grind, and generally mighty dull axes at that. They usually want the country people to turn the grindstone for them, but the farmers, as a rule, are none of the flighty kind that are led astray by the calamity howls and fake reform palaver of demagogues. More than once the good, sober sense of the country folk has saved county, state and nation by not heeding the cry of fake reform set up by such papers as the Somerset Herald and other grafting organs of that class. Two New Pipe Lines. Two new pipe lings are now being laid through this section of country, one an 8-inch line by the Southern Pipe Line Company, which means the Standard Oil Company, and the other a 6-inch line by the Pure Oil Company. These lines are both a short distance north of the Pennsylvania and Mary- land line, passing near Salisbury, and furnishing employment to a large number of trenchers, pipe-layers and teamsters. Good wages are paid, and each of the companies will pay out thousands of dollars in this vicinity. The Southern Pipe Line Company will have five or six lines running through this vicinity when its present line is completed, but the one being laid by the Pure Oil Company is that company’s first line through this sec- tion of country. — a MADE HAPPY FOR LIFE. Great happiness came into the home of S. 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 Quick, sure cure for nervous | complaints, general debility, female | | Kennedy's Laxative Honey and Tar | weaknesses, impoverished blood and cures all Coughs, and expels Colds from | malaria. druggist. Price 50c. 12-1 a CAN FIND NO CLUE. Officers Searching for Murderer of Mrs. Catherine Stouffer are Baffled. After a lapse of ten days from the time Mrs. Catherine Stouffer was found murdered in her bed at her quiet farm home near Lambertsville, the of- ficers who have been working on the case are forced to admit that they have been unable to find a single clue that promises to lead to the arrest of the cowardly assassin. The murderer did his work so secret- ly and covered up his tracks so thor- oughly that the officers had nothing at all to start with, save the suspicions of neighbors, few, if any, of whom are willing to mention, even in whispers, the names of the parties suspected. The police department of Johnstown is taking an interest in the case, and on Saturday it was reported that an officer of that place was hot on the trail of the murderer of the defenseless old wom- an, but as nothing has since been heard about the matter it is manifest that the sleuth was on a wrong scent. Wednesday, Ellsworth Fickes, a son of Mrs. Stouffer by her first marriage, of Bedford county, and John Miller, husband of one of the Stouffer girls, of near Shanksville, took out letters of administration on the estate of the murdered woman.—Somerset Herald. A YEAR OF BLOOD. The year of 1903 will long be remem- bered in the home of F. N. Tacket, of Alliance, Ky., as a year of blood ; which flowed so copiously from Mr. Tacket’s lungs that death seemed very near. He writes: “Severe bleeding from the lungs and a frightful cough had brought me at death’s door, when I began tak- ing Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con- sumption, with the astonishing result that after taking four bottles I was completely restored, and as time has proven, permanently cured.” Guaran- teed for Sore Lungs, Coughs and Colds, at E. H. Miller’s drug store. Price 50c. and $1.00. Trial bottle free. 12-1 Jail Delivery Narrowly Averted. There are at present 29 prisoners in the county jail at Somerset, and last Sunday Sheriff Begley avoided a gen- eral jail delivery which had been so well planned that the prisoners would have easily escaped in a very short time, had the Sheriff not been given a quiet “tip” concerning what was about to take place. Assisted by his deputies and the Somerset Chief of Police, the Sheriff searched the prisoners and in- spected the jail. He found a liberal supply of saws made of case knives and a piece of a clock spring, and one of the prisoners had a key made of a case knife blade that readily unlocked the padlocks securing the window gratings. The Sheriff also discovered that one of the padlocks had been removed from the window gratings, and that the out- side bars had been sawed almost through. The prisoners who seem to have planned the escape, and on whose per- sons the saws and knife were found, are John Anderson, who is serving out a sentence of six months for burglary, and “Bert” Miller, who is awaiting trial on a charge of assault with intent to kill, and highway robbery. em——— —T First Rails for Trolley Line Have Arrived. A carload of rails for the trolley line arrived yesterday, and preparations for track laying are being made with all possible haste. The brick work on the big power house is nearing completion, and work on the large car barn has been started. The weather has been very favorable to the trolley people lately, and good use has been made of it. Persons connected with the old M. & S. company are insisting that their company, too, will build a trolley line from Meyersdale to Salisbury, declar- ing that they will never allow the big amount of work they did on it a few years ago to go for naught. Well, the more street railways we get the better, but nobody is taking much stock in the vaporings of those connected with the old defunct M. & S. company, and the Pa. and Md. company isn’t scaring worth a cent. LS ca— : 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 Guaranteed by E. H. Miller, 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 on | having Dr. Shoop’s. Let the law be | your protection. We cheerfully rec- | ommend and sell it. Elk Lick Phar- | macy. 12-1 Somerset County Teachers’ Insti- tute. The annual session of the Somerset County Teachers’ Institute will be held at Somerset, beginning Monday, Nov. 26th, and ending Friday, the 30th. The list of instructors for this year’s institute consists of Hon. Henry Houck, who has been graduated by the votes of the people from nearly a life- time of service in the course of educa- tion to the office of Secretary of Inter- nal Affairs, and Dr. O. L. Corson, of Columbus, Ohio ; Dr. Charles H. Albert Bloomsburg, Pa., and Dr. Edwin Lee, of Worcester, Mass. The lecturers who will occupy the platform for the evening entertain- ments will consist of the following no- table platform speakers: Monday evening, Capt. Jack Craw- ford, whose subject will be “An Eve- ning with a Poet Scout.” Tuesday evening, Dr. Thomas E. Green, having for his subject, “The Key to the Twentieth Century.” Wednesday evening, Dr. Russell H, Conwell, subject, **Acres of Diamonds.” The Thursday evening and conclud- ing night entertainment will consist of a musical program, impersonating and reading by the high class organization known as the Elma Smith Concert Company. Following are some of the statistics given by County Superintendent D. W. Seibert, in his annual report for the last school year, of 1905-1906: Number of schools in county, 381; Teachers em- ployed during the year, 383; number of pupils enrolled, 13,899 ; average number of months of public school, 7.4; average salary of teachers, $38; average age of teachers, 23.3. HAD A CLOSE CALL. “A dangerous surgical operation, in- volving the removal of a malignant ul- cer, as large as my hand, from my daughter’s hip, was prevented by the application of Bucklen’s Arnica Salve,” says A. C. Stickel, of Miletus, W. Va. “Persistent use of the Salve completely cured it.” Cures Cuts, Burns and In- juries. 25¢. at E. H. Miller's drug store. 12-1 A Pennsylvania Dark Spot. Rev. Amos Sell, a missionary located in the mountains of Bendersville, Adams county, created a sensation in the county conference of the Lutheran church by showing conditions in the South Mountain district to be about as bad as among the savages of Africa. Among other things he said: “Savagery in its worst form exists among the mountaineers located near my mission. Morality is unknown. Men and women live huddled together like beasts. Many of the children run about nude in the summer, and a great majority are unable to attend school in winter because they have not the prop- er clothing. On several occasions my meetings were broken up by drunken rowdies, who stood outside of my mis- sion church and emptied their revol- vers through the church windows.” When such conditions exist in a great State like Pennsylvania it is time for something more than the church to be- gin to take notice. Insane Tramp. Saturday, near town, a man travel- ing hatless and bootless was found by a citizen, and on being questioned he said he was preparing to build a sewer to Pittsburg. He was brought to town, and the Burgess had him locked up. He gave his name as Wm. O’Leary, and afterward as John Kane, and his home as Columbus, O., Pittsburg and Ohio Pyle. While in the lockup he tore some of his clothes to pieces and tried to butt his brains out. Most of the day, Sunday, he was entirely nude, and it took three men to put clothes on him, Sunday afternoon, when Officer Hawke was ready to take him to Som- erset, to which place the Burgess had made out a commitment, and he was taken there on the afternoon train.— Confluence News. And So Say We. The Meyersdale Commercial hoists the name of President Roosevelt for a ‘third term. After the way in which The Commer- cial tried to gag the President by send- ing Lincoln-Bryan Congressmen to Washington, it has a deal of nerve to propose him for a third term. In man- ner and in matter this late repentance is repulsive to both the President and the Republican party. FAMOUS STRIKE BREAKERS.
