NEW YEAR GREETING.
A happy New Year to you, child of
today! May you know more of sun-
shine than of cloud, and more of glee
than of sorrow ; may your tumbles and
bumps be few, your laughter be fre-
quent and long, your play be unre-
strained, your sleep refreshing, your
dreams pleasant. :
A happy New Year to you, bright
youth and rosy-cheeked maiden—all
happiness in the ambition, the joy, the
friendship, the competitions and the re-
wards of school life. Success to you in
the endeavor whereby the firm, endur-
ing basis of true manhood and of noble
womanhood are laid—success that
comes with two-fold happiness—hap-
piness to others and happiness to your-
selves. Go forth gaily and confidently
into the new year, O, you who are
beautiful in the fresh vigor of your
youth!
To you whose lives are hallowed
with the grace of maternity, not one,
but many, many years of happiness!
Live long, wives and mothers of this
great country! Live long to see the
lives you have cherished expand into
beauty and usefulness! Live long to
know and feel the sweet rewards of
gratitude, of veneration and of love!
Survive those hours of pain, of watch-
ing and of sacrifice—live through it all,
dear patient martyrs, to share the
peace, the repose, the contentment, the
compensations of the future that surely
wait for such as you.
A happy New Year, too, to you,
grandfathers and grandmothers! Look
out upon all around you and see how
passing fair is the evening of your
lives! All invites contentment and re-
pose. You hear voices, too, that many
of us do not hear—voices that have
never been quite forgotten, and they
speak to you in the sweetly solemn
twilight of the evening of your lives,
and of the waking that cometh after
the folding of the hands to sleep.
Yes, to all—the young, the old, the
high, the low, the rich, the poor—a
happy New Year, a happiness arising
from and tempered with wisdom, faith,
hope and charity.
PRESCRIPTION FOR HEADACHE".
When you have headache or other
nerve pain try Ake-In-The-Head tab-

lief. E. H. Miller. 2-1
Resolutions.
A gentle zephyr wafted the following
resolutions from somewhere into our
sanctum:
I resolve the following year that I
will not drink any, ples I am dry—
very dry.
That I will let people mind their own
business and assist them all I can.
That I will agree to obey my super-
iors, if I have any.
That I will always forgive my ene-
mies, especially those I can’t whip.
That I will strive to be in love and
charity with my neighbor, if I see I
shall need nim to back me in some
pursuit of life the coming year.
That I will subscribe for this paper
and promptly pay for the same.
That I will trade at home and try
and get back some of the money I
squandered abroad, the past year.
ARESTED FOR MURDER.
John Flickinger Charged With
Murder of Wesley Emerick.
Last Friday night John Flickinger,
a young man aged about 23 years, was
arrested at his home near Boynton.
charged with the murder of Wesley
Emerick on the night of Oct. 30th.
The arrest was made upon information
of James Emerick, a brother of the sup-
posed murdered man, and Flickingar
was committed to jail on the strength
of ‘a sworn statement made before
‘‘Squire” Levi Lichliter by the young
wife of the deceased.
It will be remembered by many of
our readers that THE S1AR contained
an account of Mr. Emerick’s death
shortly after the morning .he was
found dead in the woods, at what is
known as Grine Hollow, near the S. P.
Maust farm in Elk Lick township.
On the evening of Oct. 30th, 1906,
Wesley Emerick went to the woods to
hunt raccoons, taking hisgun and dog
with him, and it is alleged that he was
accompanied by young Flickinger, a
supposed friend, but who had long been
blamed for being on more friendly
terms with Mrs. Emerick than with her
husband. Morning came. but Mr.
Emerick had not returned home, and
his wife requested Ross Holler, a
neighbor, to go and search for him.
saying she feared that some accident
had befallen her husband.
Mr. Holler, accompanied by Michael
Hochard, another neighbor, instituted
a search and were not long in finding
the missing man. He was found dead,
with the entire top of his head blown
off, evidently caused by the discharge
of a shotgun. His double-barrel gun
lay near him, and upon investigation
it was found that one barrel of the gun
was discharged.
It was almost the universal opinion
at the time that the unfortunate man
was the victim of an accident, but there
were a few people who suspected foul
play, hinting that the man had been
murdered. However,people in general
did not take much stock in the murder
theory, as at that time the dead man
was supposed to have gone out hunting
alone, and he was not known to have
any enemies. His body was therefore
taken home and buried without the
formality of a coroner’s inquest.
Soon after the funeral, however, sus-
picion began to point toward John
Flickinger and the widow of the de-
ceased as having laid a plot that
brought Mr. Emerick to his death.
Flickinger was almost constantly with
the woman, and at night they would
sleep at the home of Cyrus Hoenshell,
where their private conversation was
frequently overheard by Mrs. Elizabeth
Speicher, who is Mr. Hoenshell’s house-
keeper. Judging from the nature of
much of the alleged overheard conver-
sation, there is little doubt as to the
guilt of Flickinger and the wife of the
dead man, and after Flickinger’s arrest,
last Friday night, the woman offered to
make a sworn statement, which she
did, stating that on the night of Oct.
30th, 1906, Flickinger came to her house
at about 9 or 10 o'clock and informed
her that he had murdered her husband.
He remained with the woman all night,
according to her testimony, and the ac-
cused admitted to the officers that he
stayed with Mrs. Emerick on the night
of Oct. 30th, but denies that he killed
or even stated that he killed her hus-
band. Ananias Flickinger, father of
the supposed murderer, declares, how-
ever, that his son John was at home
that night.
Whether the accused man’s guilt can
be established, remains to be seen, but
if he is guilty, it is almost a forgone
conclusion that the woman was an ac-
cessory to the crime.
The woman is but 21 years old, rather
nice looking, and has two very young
children. She was taken to the County
Home, Monday, reported to be insane,
or more probably shamming insanity.
She will be closely guarded, and it is
more than likely that before every-
thing pertaining to the case is over,
both the woman and young Flickinger
will have to stand trial for causing the
death of Wesley Emerick on the uight
of Oct. 30th, last.

WISE COUNSEL FROM THE SOUTH.
“TI want to give some valuable advice
to those who suffer with lame back and
kidney trouble,” says J. R. Blanken-
ship, of Beck, Tenn. “I have proved to
an absolute certainty that Electric
Bitters will positively cure this distress-
ing condition. The first bottle gave me
great relief, and after taking a few more
bottles, I was completely cured; so
completely that it becomes a pleasure
to recommend this great remedy.”

New Postmaster for Elk Lick Office.
Albert B. Lowry was appointed post-
master for the Elk Lick office, last
week, vice P. L. Livengood, who re-
signed on the 17th day of Jan.. last
office until such time as a suitable per-
son could be secured as his successor.
The resignation of Postmaster Liven-
good was due to three reasons. First,
because the postoffice was taking a
considerable portion of his time that
could be more profitably utilized in his
newspaper and job printing buisness.
Second, because in December, 1905, the
‘Postoffice Department made a ruling
that offices doing a certain volume of
business must receive all of the post-
master’s personal attention. Third,
because the postmaster could not be
absent from the postoffice for more
than two days at a time without ob-
taining a permit from the Postoffice
Department.
These are the reasons and the only
reasons for the outgoing postmaster’s
resignation, as he is amply prepared to.
prove by the proper documentary evi-
dence. The persons who were trying
to bring about a change in order to
gratify their own malice and political
spite, and at the same time land Roscoe
Welfley, a political brigand and person-
al nonentity of their own stripe into
the office, failed most signally and hu-
miliatingly in their unpopular and dis-
creditable attempt—an attempt con-
ceived in sin and rascality and fostered
by all the lying and deception at their
command.
In the person of Albert B. Lowry we
predict that the patrons of Elk Lick
postotfice will have a very obliging and
efficient postmaster, one who will
maintain the high standing that the
office has been noted for during the
last 17 years. It affords us pleasure to
note that Mr. Lowry is a most excellent
citizen, a man of good ability, obliging
disposition, and last, but not least, a
true and loyal Republican. He ap-
plied for the appointment at avery late
date, and he did not need the services
of a paid loafer and prevaricator to
ride the township and secure signatures
to his petition by means of misrepre-
sentation and slander. Mr. Lowry
handled his petition himself, and ina
few hours he had a goodly number of
the heaviest patrons of the office and
prominent business people’s signatures
on it, and his appointment speedily
followed. He will take charge of the
office in a few days. Assistant Post-
master Wagner will remain with him
for about a month, until the new P. M.
familiarizes himself with his new du-
ties.
In stepping down and out, the retir-
ing postmaster does so with a feeling of
relief, although his reletions with the
Postoffice Department, his assistants
and the patrons of the office in general
have been most pleasant, ever since he
was appointed to the office a little over
eight years ago.
