Tue United Mine Workers of Amer-
ica, as an organization, seems to be on
its last legs. It has lost over one-fourth
of its membership during the past year,
and the amount in its treasury has
dwindled from more than a million
dollars to about $300,000. This state of
affairs is all due to bad and unprinci-
pled men inthe organization, ill-advised
| and badly managed strikes:
Newspapers at Frankfort, Ind., have
formed a trust, each agreeing to charge
and get real money for all notices of
meetings, entertainments, cards of
thanks, obituary notices and resolu-
tions of condolence. . It is rapidly
reaching the point where publishing a
newspaper is nothing but a cold busi-
ness proposition and where carefully
manipulated, capital is the sole propell-
ing agent. Every newspaper should
charge advertising rates for the classes
of matter here referred to.
HOW TO CURE CHILBLAINS.
“To enjoy freedom from chilblains,
writes John Kemp, East Otisfield, Me.,
“I apply Bucklen’s Arnica Salve. Have
also used it for salt rheum with excel-
lent results.” Guaranteed to cure fe-
ver sores, indolent ulcers, piles, burns,
wounds, frost bites and skin diseases.

Islta Typographical Error?
Editor P. L. Livengood, of the Som-
ERSET CouNTY STAR, published at Elk
Lick, this county, comments seriously
on a paper published at Girard, Kan.,
and styled “Appeal to Reason.” Broth-
er Livengood is not tenderly attached
to the publication, and there are not
very many Somerset countians that are.
Editor Livengood thinks the paper was
misnamed, but after all it may have
been only a typographical error. “Ap-
peal to Treason” is likely the name in-
rended. —Berlin Gleaner.
WISE COUNSEL FROM THE SOUTH.
“I 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.”

drug store. Price 50c. 2-1
Lecture by Eminent Divine.
The Rev. T. B. Roth, D. D., a noted
Lecturer and prominent minister will
deliver his celebrated lecture in the
Lutheran church on Monday, Feb. 4th,
at 7:30 P. M. No admission will be
charged. It is offered free to the peo-
ple of the community. He is a forceful
speaker, and sure to please ‘all. It is
hoped many will avail themselves of
the opportunity of hearing him. An
offering will be taken. Dr. Roth will
preach in Lutheran church, Sunday
evening. Hear him.”
It’s a pleasure to tell our readers
about a Cough Cure like Dr. Shoop’s.
For years Dr. Shoop has fought against
the use of Opium, Chloroform, or other
unsafe ingredients commonly fourd in
Cough remedies. Dr. Shoop, it seems,
has welcomed the Pure Food and Drug
Law recently enacted, for he has work-
ed along similar lines many years. For
nearly 20 years Dr. Shoop’s Congh
Cure containers have had a warning
printed on them against Opium and
other narcotic poisons. He has thus
made it possible for mothers to protect
their children by simply insisting on
having Dr. Shoop’s Cough Cure. Sold

Senator Miller and Representatives
Endsley and Knepper Placed on
Important Committees.
At the opening of the present session
of the Legislature, Senator Wm: C.
Miller was appointed to a place on
committees as follows: Appropria-
tions, Federal relations, Finance, Chair-
man of Law and Order, New Counties
and County Seats, Public Health and
Sanitation, Game and Fisheries.
Representatives Knepper and Ends-
ley were given appointments to import-
ant committees, especially those of
Mines and Mining, Counties and Town-
ships, and Public Roads, being of im-
portance to their constituents. Mr.
Endsley was assigned to the Commit-
tees on Constitutional Reform, Coun-
tuities, Public Roads, Mines and Min-

BOROUGH NOMINATIONS.
Last Friday evening Republican
sided over a caucus held in Hay’s
opera house, at which time and place
the following nominations were made |
for borough offices:
Judge of Election, R S. Johns.
Inspector, Lew Martin.
Town Council, Elijah Newman, How-
ard Meager and Harvey Fogle.
School Directors, Richard Newman
and Daniel Livengood.
Assessor, T. Wagner.
Auditor, Chas. Newman.
Street. Commissioner, John W,
ler.
Last night a Citizens’ caucus was
held in the E. Statler building, and the
following named persons nominated:
Judge of Election, R. 8. Johns.
Inspector, P. M. Wahl.
Town Council, John Lichliter, J.
Winter and Frank Petry.
School Directors, Silas Wagner and
A. B. Newman.
Assessor, T. Wagner.
Auditor, Russell Hay.
Street Commissioner, Alfred Wagner.
There are some good men on both
tickets, and some on both that are not
capable of filling any office creditably.
But for this the people are to blame, as
practically all of them have ceased to
take interest in borough nominations.
The Republican caucus was attended
by not more than 20 or 256 persons, and
the Citizens’ caucus by only 14. Only
a few people were seeking office, and
they were nominated along with a
larger number that were not after nom-
inations.
The fact is, most of the good, sensible,
substantial people of Salisbury borough
have become disgusted with borough
politics, for the reason that so few of
our officers have been doing their duty.
We have a few good officers in this
town, and always have had, but it can
be truthfully said of most of them that
they have been sadly negligent in their
duties, and for some years the official
affairs of the borough have been going
from bad to worse. The good citizens
of the town have about decided to let
the official rottenness continue until it
breaks down under the weight of its
own rottenness, as it is bound to do
sooner or later, and then we will have
a well officered town again, and cau-
cuses will be more generally attended.
As for ourself, we participated in no
borough caucus this year, neither di-
rectly nor indirectly, and we are glad
of it. Like the great majority of our
citizens, we are disgusted with borough
politics.

MAKING A GREAT HIT.
The J. L. Tempest Dramatic Com-
pany Deservedly Popular Here.
The J. .. Tempest Dramatic Com-
pany, now playing a week’s engage-
ment in Hay’s opera house, is deserved-
ly popular here, and making a great
hit. Each night the audience is larger.
and one and all are delighted with the
well rendered plays, fine specialties,
ete.
This company played here a week,
last spring, and was then pronounced
the best theatrical company that ever
visited our town, And so it was, but
this year it is still better, and it is a
common thing to hear people remark
that they have often paid a dollar to
see plays not half so good as those ren-
dered in Hay’s opera house, this week,
by the Tempest people. They are very
nice folks, too, and aside from their
good acting they are very sociable and
courteous, seeming like old acquaint-
ances to all they come in contact with.
Ira Hay, our efficient opera house
manager, also deserves great praise for
the improvements he recently made in
the opera house. He has put in a fine
system of electric lighting, which adds
greatly to'the stage effects.
Last night the company rendered
“Lady Audley’s Secret,” also gave an
after concert. Both were fine, and the
house was crowded. Tonight the play
will be “A Lawyer’s Troubles,” and on
Friday night, “East Lynn.” By all
means turn out and see something
good. The Tempest people give noth-
ing else.

When you have headache or other
nerve pain try Ake-In-The-Head tab-
lets and you can have your 10 cents
back if your headache or neuralgia is
not relieved in 15 minutes. No matter
what the cause is, one tablet gives re-

| KEEP TO THE RIGHT.
| “Keep to the right” is the law of the
road, which, when obeyed, saves one a
| world of trouble.
| Society is a public highway on a
| grand scale—a great turnpike whereon
a hurrying, jostling, wrestling crowd of
badly-assorted humanity is ever throng-
| ing. Here is life in all its better phases
| —childhood with its golden hair and
| wondering eyes; youth with its widen-
{ ing, thoughtful outlook ; manhood with
| its firm step and earnest purpose: old
age with its bowed form and whitened
locks. Here, too, are thickly strewn
the wrecks of life—misguided child-
hood, headstrong and wayward ; erring
youth, rioting in frivolity and dissi-
pation, and sewing the seeds of physi-
caldecay and moral death ; vicious man-
hood, treading theldownward road ; and
decrepit old age, sinster and sere, with
its painful memories and hopeless fu-
ture—all commingling in the one great
journey from the cradle to the grave.
How much discord, inharmony. and
jostling would be avoided in this jour-
ney if each traveler would only keep
to the right. There is a pitfall before
you, young man; a temptation to do
evil; a snare for your feet. You are
forming habits of idleness, dissipation
and extravagance, which will stick to
you like the shirt of Nessus, hampering
your noble efforts, and eventually
dragging you down to the gateway of
despair. Keep tothe right and avoid it.
That is a doubtful business venture,
sir, in which you are about to engage;
one perhaps involving loss of self-re-
spect and sacrifice of manly principle.
You see where, by taking advantage of
your neighbor’s ignorance, you can get
the best of him in a trade; or by some
smart trick of the law you can evade
some responsibility you have willingly
assumed, or shirk some duty that lies
in your way. Keep to the right.
There, only, is the path of honor.
When tempted to deal in gossip or
scandal; to play tyrant in your family ;
to withhold the gentle word of love or
praise from her who walks by your side ;
to lower the standard of your honor, or
do ought that vrould make you less
manly or noble in the eyes of good
men and angles,—keep to the right.
Keep to the right. These golden
words should be engraven in letters of
living light on the temple of every
human soul. They should stand forth
as finger posts at the junction of every
wrong; at the point of every diverg-
ence from the straight path of recti-
tude; by every wayside temptation.
Keep to the right—spurning every
ignoble thought, every unmanly action,
Thus will you lay up treasures for a
grand old age, and life will bear for
you its richest fruits.
AS EERE Wl
REFORMS IN N LAW PRACTICE.
We heartily agree with the Connells-
ville Courier in the following, which
recently appeared in that paper:
The Westmoreland Bar Association
suggests a decided improvement in
practice in the way of a short deed,
that is, a deed stripped of the legal
verbiage and senseless jargon borrow-
ed from the old English law, a plain
statement of the conveyance in every-
day language. Such forms have been
adopted in most of the states, and in
many have been in use for years past.
They are highly satisfactory.
Pennsylvania is among the few states
that have clung to the ancient forms of
the jurisprudence borrowed from the
mother country more than a century
ago. It is true that some reforms have
been made in our legal practice. The
old declaration, which was filed with
every suit, charging the defendant with
every crime and wrong in the calendar,
has been superseded by a plain state-
ment of the cause of action. The short
deed will be another reform along the
same line, and it ought to be adopted.
The Westmoreland bar is to be com-
mended for its mommon sense in lead-
ing the movement for more simple and
sane law forms. The law, in its forms
and its application, should be plain
enough for any intelligent layman to
understand, even if he is not permitted
to practice it before the bar of justice.
a
Civil Service Examination.
An examination will be held in the
Federal building, at Pittsburg, on Feb-
ruary 5, under the direction of the
United States civil service commission
for a food and drug inspector at a sal-
ary of $2,000 a year.
Subjects will be: Spelling, arithme-
tic, penmanship, letter-writing, com-
mercial geography, pretical questions
and experience. The examination is
limited to male citizens between the
ages of 20 and 40.
