Both gentlemen are radical Republicans, but they were none the less welcome on that account. The latchstring is always out to them- —Somerset Democrat. D.

If there is one thing more than an- other in our experience in publishing » local newspaper that makes us tired, it is the practice of some that tell us that we must not say anything about this or that thing that has happened. There are two sides to every question, and it would be a very easy mafter to formulate a reason why a paper should not report everything.

S. Kifer, we felt that we had a right to feel very proud of our new temple of justice. It is what the county has long needed, and we found all the officers very courteous and obliging. While in Somerset, last Saturday, we had the pleasure of making the ne- quaintance of Editor Coffroth, of the Somerset Democrat, and Editor Lenox, of the Berlin Record. Wealso met our old friend Geo.

D. B. Koontz, a son of Ex-County Commissioner Jacob Koontz, was killed in a railroad wreck in Illinois, last Thursday. He was coming east with a carload of horses, when he was killed by a rear end collision while he was sitting asleep in the caboose of the train to which his car was attached. The horses were notipjured. Deceased is survived by a wife and three young children residing in Quemahoning township. County Recorder Boose last week showed us some recorded deeds more pens, and moat of it was as artistic ae steel plate engraving. By comparing the artistic pen work of a hundred years ago to that of today, as it appears on record at the court house, one is almost forced to the conclusion that penmanship is a lost art. Those old- timers were truly expert penmen, and we can find no penmanship these days to compare with it for a moment. A liquid cold relief with a laxative principle which drives out the cold through a copious action of the bowels. and gx principle which lingers in the throat and stops the cough—that -is Kennedy's Laxative Cough Syrup. Safe and sure in its action; pleasant to take ; and conforms to National Pure Food and Drug Law. Contains no opiates. . Sold by E. H. Miller. 3-1 Abram L. Williams was taken very sick at Hay’s hotel, last Thursday evening, and for a time it was feared that he would die before he could be taken home. However, later in the evening his condition improved, and he was taken home ; but he is still quite poorly. Some weeks ago he had to quit his position as motorman at Merchants mine No.3, owing to the failure of his health. Mr. Williams used to be a strong, vigorous man, and as his habits have always been good, we think he will fully recover in time. At any rate we hope so.

Kifer for superintendent of the new court house and grounds. The office is a very necessary one, as a fine structure like our new temple of justice needs a com- petent person to show visitors around when they come to take a look at it, to keep habitual loafers out, to see that the walls are not defaced by scribblers, and to promptly report anything about the building that may be out of order or in need of repairs. Mr. Kifer is an ideal person for the position, and both he and the Commissioners are to be congratulated on his appointment. 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. Ile has thus made it possible for mothers to protect their children by simply insisting on having Dr. Shoop’s Cough Cure. Sold by Elk Lick Pharmacy. 3-1 Last Thursday evening Albert Petry, accompanied by his brother Otto, went to Philadelphia to have his lungs ex- amined and get advice as to what treatment he should take. Albert has for some time been suffering with some kind of lung trouble and other compli- cations, but his brother returned, Sat- urday last, with the cheering news that the examining physician expressed the opinion that the patient would be speedily restored to robust health in the hospital where he has been placed, in or near Philadelphia. We trust that Albert’s fondest bopes will be realized, for he is a good, all-around young man, and the whole town is interested in his welfare. Nothing will releave Indigestion that is not a thorough digestant. Kodol di- gests what you eat and allows the stomach to rest—recuperate—grow strong again. digestive acids and as nearly as possible approximates the digestive juices that are found in the stomach. KODOL takes the work of digestion off the di- gestive organs, and while performing this work itself does greatly assist the stomach to a thorough rest. In ad- dition the ingredients of KODOL are such as to make it a corrective of the highest efficiency, and by its action the stomach is restecred to its normal ac- tivity and power.
