HON. J. A. BERKEY.
A Just Tribute Paid to Him by the
Turkeyfoot News.
In commenting on the late election,
the Turkeyfoot News, published at
Confluence, paid the following just
tribute to Hon. J. A. Berkey:
The recognized leader of the party
is the Hon. J. A. Berkey, State Bank-
ing Commissioner. Probably no man
in the county has been more bitterly
denounced by his personal enemies, yet
amidst it all he demeans himself as a
gentleman—a manly man, and dis-
charges his duties with competency
and vigor. He is one of the ablest
lawyers and most industrious progres-
give citizens ; a man of astute mind and
broad information—a Leader, not a
“boss” as his enemies like to call him.
That he is a leader, is shown by the fi-
delity with which the voters help him
to pull off victory after victory, re-
gardless of his traducers. That he is
not a “boss” we affirm, because no evi=
dence of bossism appears. It is assert-
ed he “bosses” the organization news-
papers. Speaking for the Turkeyfoot
News, we have never received from Mr.
Berkey, directly or indirectly, any sug-
gestion of the policy of the News, much
less a dictation of what it should say
or do, nor do we believe he “bosses”
the others, or even attempts to do so.
He is a man of too . much sense to at-
tempt todo so. It is easy to denounce,
but when personal grievances are the
issue, denunciation seldom has either
fact or reason as a basis.
The News has never had any part in
the quarrels in the party, and there-
fore with no prejudice in the case,
presents these observations as a Simple
matter of justice to one whom it be-
lieves tobe worthy of the confidence
the voters have so often expressed in
him, and to whom, more than any other
individual, belongs the credit of the
Republican victory in Somerset county,
this fall, and this fact should be rec-
ognized by the party at large, as it is
in his home county.
THE NEW PRIMARY LAW.
The law passed at the special session
of the legislature, providing for uniform
primary elections, seems to be defec-
tive so far as it relates to the Winter
primary, when candidates for borough
and township offices are to be nominat-
ed. The act contains a proviso that
candidates for borough and township
offices may be nominated in the man-
ner provided by laws existing before
the passage of the Uniform Primary
Act, but it does not designate who has
authority to say which system shall
obtain. Geo. D. Thorn, chief clerk of
the State department, has sent the
following information to boards of com-
missioner over the state:
“If the electors of any borough or
township desire to make their nomina-
tions for the spring election under the
new primary act, they should signify
such desire by filing with the county
commissioners petitions for nomina-
tions. If such petitions are not filed,
no ballots will be provided for use un-
der the new primary law, and the pri-
maries cannot be held under this new
| law, but will have to be conducted un-
der the old system.”
The expense of these primaries is
borne by the state, and it is probable
that the law may be interpreted by
one of the state judges before the time
of making nominations under the act—
January 26.
There does not seem to be a desire
from any district in Somerset county
to follow the new act, and the County
Commissioners have passed a resolu-
tion to have the nominations made in
the old way.—Somerset Standard.
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 oottles effected a complete
cure.” Quick, sure cure for nervous
| complaints, general debility, female
DIRTY B. & 0. TRICK.
Tries to Block Trolley Connection
Between Salisbury and Mey-
ersdale.
As was noted in this paper last week,
the P. & M. Street Ry. Co. received its
first consignment of rails and at once
proceeded to lay track. At the same
time the B. & O. railroad people got
busy, and they have imitated the dog
in the manger by laying a switch on
the trolley grade at two points along
the line, one at the Moser bluff, the
other at the crossing near the Moser
bridge. The switches were laid and a
few old cars placed thereon, then the
connecting frogs were removed, so
that the cars could not be run back
onto the main track by the workmen
of the trolley line.
What steps the trolley people will
take to remove the B. & O. obstructions,
we, of course, do not know. But we do
know that the trolley line will be com-
pleted in spite of all obstacles in the
way, and in the meantime this whole
community is indignant at the B.& O.,
which company has been treating the
people of Salisbury and vicinity very
badly ever since coming into posses-
sion of the Salisbury railroad.
We had good passenger service on
the Salisbury branch before the B. & O.
acquired it, but never had any worthy
‘of the name after that company took
charge, and for the past 8 or 10 years
we have been denied possenger service
entirely. That's the kind of treatment
we have been receiving at the hands of
the B. & O., while the company has
been reaping a rich harvest from our
branch road in the form of coal, lumber
and other freight traffic, It is ashame,
a dirty, burning shame, that the B. & O.
will give us no accommodations, and
then try to block the way of others
who are willing to give us the passen-
ger service that the railroad company
has been persistently, denying to us.
The B.& O. has nothing to gain by
such dog-in-the-manger tactics, and it
is likely that our people will now com-
pel that company to carry passengers
or give up its charter.
Besides, just wait until the next
Legislature meets, and then the steam
railroads will reap the fruits of their
own meanpess. Such capers as trying
to block the P. & M trolley will help to
make the doses of legislative medicine
all the more drastic.
A YEAR OF BLOGD.
The year of 1903 will long be remems
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,

SAND PATCH CUT-OFF.
Work to Cirele Tunnel Will Com-
mence Next3pring—Four Tracks
for the Pittsburg Division.
A prominent official of the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad, stated in Baltimore
during the week that the work on the
new Pittsburg Division “cut-off” of the
road, starting at Pinto tunnel and run-
ning by the Six Mile House, thence to
a point below Frostburg, and on to
either Confluence or Rockwood, where
connection will be made with the
Pittsburg Division, will be commenced
about the first of March next, and that
it will rapidly be pushed to completion.
He also stated that the cut-off will be
used for through freight only, and not
for passenger service. During the con-
versation with the official, the follow-
ng information was gleaned:
That it is the purpose of the com-
pany to, as soon as possible, make the
Pittsburg Division a four-track road;
that the handling of heavy freight
trains by way of the low grade cut-off
which is now contemplated, and on
which it is now proposed to start work
in the spring, will greatly facilitate
freight handling from Pittsburg and
points west, by cutting out the use of
the heavy Sand Patch grades of the
division, and that this will also give
local freight and passenger trains a
clear track on which to make better
time.—Connellsville Courier.

SERIOUSLY INJURED.
Son of N. G. Keim Thrown from
Horse and Almost Dragged to
Death—Scull Fractured.
A telegram conveying the startling
intelligence of the probable fatal injury
of Master Howard Keim, the ten year
old son of Prof. and Mrs. N. G. Keim, of
Elkins, W. Va., was received in this
city last night by relatives, says the
Cumberland News of Thursday. The
details, while meager, as received here;
indicate that the youth while riding a
spirited horse was thrown, his foot
catching in the stirrup. The boy was
dragged quite a distance, his head
coming in violent contact with the
ground. When found, the lad was un-
conscious and bleeding from many
wounds. An examination by a phy-
sician disclosed a bad fracture of the
skull, and the message to relatives here
stated that trephining the skull offered
the only hope, and that very faint of
saving the boy’s life. Prof. Keim, the
boy’s father, who has an extended ac-
quaintanceship in this vicinity, was a
visitor here only a few days ago, being
en route to New York. He was wired
last night to come home by the first
train, but he cannot reach Elkins until
this evening.
At last report received at THE STAR
office, young Keim’s chances for re-
covery were considered more hopeful
A GENEROUS ACT.
A Home-Talent Show Donates Pro-
ceeds to a Worthy Widow.
“Union Depot,” a very pleasing play
which was rendered in Hay’s opera
house, last Friday evening, by home
talent under the direction of Miss
Esther Perkins, drew a large audience.
Although the play was gotten up on
very short notice, it drew a large au-
dience, and after all the expenses in-
cident thereto were paid, a snug cash
balance was left for division among the
actors. The following named persons,
however, who had parts in the play,
very generously directed that their
portions of the dividend be donated to
Mrs. Null, an aged and very worthy
widow who resides on Grant street,
and who has had to work hard for a
living for many years:
Julia Meese, Jennie Wagner, Nellie
Statler, Ethel Schramm,
Cochrane, Malissa Lowry, Ruth Hay,
Leora Young, Harriet Hay, Alma Liv-
engood, Bessie Crowe, Esther Hay,
Amanda Martin, Guy Rayman, S. L.
Livengood, Clyde Wagner, Herbert
McKinley, Geo. Lowry, Wm. Petry,
Jonas Lichty, Lew Martin, Tohn Mar-
tin, Chas. Kimmel, Wm. Murphy,
Gurney Newman, Arthur Cousins, Al-
vin Cochrane, Harry McClure, Ray
Smalley, Fred Wagner, Lester Boucher
and Ira Hay.
Most of the other members of the
company drew their individual portions
of the dividend for the purchase of
various kinds of little presents for Mrs.
Null, and all who have contributed or
will contribute to her comfort in any
way deserve much credit for their
kindness and generosity.

Savage River Railroad Heading
Towards Salisbury.
What seems tc be the most reliable
railroad rumor now afloat is to the ef-
fect that the Savage River railroad is
heading toward Salisbury. The fel-
lowing mention of it appeared in the
Oakland Journal, last week, and it is
likely that the new road will connect
with the Jennings road:
The Savage River railroad, of which
N. U. Bond, of Bond, this county, is
president, is still in course of con-
struction. The new road is now com-
pleted 214 miles beyond Gregg’s mill,
and connects with the B.& O. at Bond
Junction. Regular trains will not be
placed on the road before spring, at
which time connection is expected to
be made with Salisbury, Pa.
A Missouri Cider Well.
J. J. Coonce, an orchardist at Clays-
ville, has adopted an ingenious method
of saving his apple crop. Having &
well in his orchard he has cemented
the walls and filled it to the brim with
cider from hundreds of bushels of Mis-
souri apples. Mr. Coonce filled all the
barrels he could buy, beg or borrow,
and turned as a last resort to the ce-
mented well.—Kansas City Star.
