Truman Root Knifgd to Death by John Brown-=Woman Said to ‘be the Cause. The Connellsville Courier says all Friendsville is astir over a murder which was committed near there, last Thursday night, when Truman Root wae stabbed and killed by his neighbor, John Brown, in the home of Mrs. Oscar Friend, about two miles from the Mary- land town. Stories of the tragedy con- flict. John Brown, the alleged murder- er, is under arrest and has been lodged in the Oakland jail. Brown and Root were in Friendsville together all day Thursday, and seemed sto be on the best of terms. They left “together in the evening, neither being intoxicated, although both bad, it is said, taken a few drinks. Here is where the stories differ. One report has it that the rig they were driving got out of order, and Root went to Mrs. Friend’s house for assistance. * Brown waited until he got tired, and then followed Root. What he found on the inside so enraged him that he stabbed Root in the neck. Root was on a bed at the time. His jugular vein was severed, and ‘he was unable to get out of bed. When found a neighbor, he was dead, sitting on the edge of the bed in a reclining posture, with his head on his hand. Brown had gone. He was later arrested by Special Officer Chas. | Johnson, at his home nearby. Another story is that both men en- tered the house at the same time. They quarreled, and Root went out. When he came back he took off hig coat and commenced to fight Brown, who stab- bed him. The Coroner’s Jury returned a verdict that Root came to his death as the result of a knife wound. Who did it the jury didn’t say. Brown’s hands were tied securely with stout twine, Friday afternoon, and he was sent over to the county seat at Oakland, in company with a liveryman, no officer going along. He is a slight, undersized man, and seemed to take but a passive interest in the affair. Brown is married, but has no chil- dren. Root leaves a wife and several children. Mrs. Friend lives about two miles from Friendsville. Her husband, it is said, isin an insane asylum. The prevailing opinion in Friendsville is that the two men, who lived neighbors and had always been friendly towards each other, quarreled over the Friend woman. From the appearance of Root when he was found, after the stabbing, indications are that Brown caught him in a compromising position. The wom- an testified at the Coroner’s Jury that the men had quarreled, but over what, she would not say. RISING FROM THE GRAVE. A prominent manufacturer, Wm. A. Fertwell, of Lucama, N. C., relates a most remarkable experience. Hesays: “After taking less than three bottles of Electric Bitters, I feel like one rising from the grave. My trouble is Bright’s disease, in the Diabetes stage. I fully believe Electric Bitters will cure me permanently, for it has already stopped the liver and bladder complications which have troubled me for years.” Guaranteed at E. H. Miller’s, druggist Price only 650c. 3-1 One More Arrest for the Stauffer Murder. John Sivits, of Shade township, is the latest victim of the notorious Henry Johnson, who seems to have a mania for causing the arrest of people for the murder of Mrs. Catherine Stauffer, which occurred in Stonycreek town- ship, last November. Johnson is the same man who had the Putman broth- ers arrested on a warrant charging them with tha Stauffer murder, and who his next victim will be is hard to tell. While in Somerset, last Saturday, Johnson was pointed out to us, and a man of uglier and more brutal coun- tenance would be hard to find. What we heard people say of him, over there where he is known, was anything but complimentary, and the general opinion in and around Somerset seems to be that he hasn’t got one particle of real evidence against either the" Putman brothers or John Sivits. However, time will tell, but we could have no confidence in the stories of a man with | a countenance like that of Johnson, un- | less well supported by the testimony of people less repulsive in appearance. Later: The Putman brothers and Sivits had a hearing: before charged for want of evidence. They will bring suit against Johnson for false imprisonment, defamation of character, etc., and here’s hoping they’ll soak him good and hard. NEIGHBORS GOT FOOLED. “I was literally coughing myself to death; and had become too weak to leave my bed ; and neighbors predicted that I would never leave it alive; but they got fooled, for thanks be to God, I was induced to try Dr. King’s New Dis- covery. It took just four one dollar bottles to completely cure the cough and restore me to good sound health,” writes Mrs. Eva Uncaphe, of Grover- town, Stark Co., Ind.

IF PEPSIKOLA F INDIGESTION. “Never in the history of this store, remarked one of the above druggists to an interested customer, “has there been so great a demand for a new rem- edy as there is just now for Pepsikola Taplets. Elk Lick people are coming in every day inquiring if it really true that we sell Pepsikola with the understanding that it will cure dyspep- | sia or pay back the money. As a mat- ter of fact,” continued the druggist, “not one person in fifty bas asked for their money. and it may surprise.you to know that at least a dozen within the last ten days have been in to tell us how much they have been relieved, and how glad they are to know at last there is a remedy that really will cure indigestion and dyspepsia.” Pepsikola braces up and tones every nerve and fibre, helps digest the food, puts new life into the digestion, improves the ap- petite, cures coated tongue, dizzy spells and sour stomach. Try it for ten days, and if you don’t see a big improvementstep in and tell Mr. Miller, and he will hand back your quarter cheerfully and without argu- ment. 3-1 TUCSON THE OLDEST TOWN. St. Augustine Deposed from Po- sition it Has Long Held. Dr. Alexander Craig, of Tucson, Ariz, alleges that that city is older than St. Augustine, Ila, by 13 years. He 8aYySs: “There can be no doubt that Tucson enjoys the distinction of being the oldest city in the United States. When that intrepid Spaniard, Melendez, dis- covered the coast ot Florida, planted the standard of his country and found- ed the city of St. Augustine, in the year of our Lord 1565, Tucson was a strug- gling and growing pueblo, and had been for 13 years. This is not accord- ing to our text books on geography, but it is just as much a fact for all of that, and the proof of it may be found in a stained and timeworn document of vellum, signed by their Catholic Maj- esties Ferdinand and Isabella, and countersigned by the viceroy of Mexico and Gen. Coronado, who in the early part of 1552 raised the flag of Spain over the little Indian village of Tuscon and laid the cornerstone of the first mission with his own hands. This im- portant paper was lost to the public until about 12 years ago, when it was discovered by & mere accident among the archives of the ancient Church of San Xayies, nine miles south of Tucson. As a matter of precaution it was for- warded to the library of Washington D. C., where it now lies. This diseov- ery gives the residents of Tucson the right to claim that their city is the oldest in the United States.” Editors in the Cabinet. They are ealling Premier Clemen- ceau’s accession to power in France the “apotheosis of journalism” Eight editors are in this cabinet. Distinction of this sort is rarer for newspaper men in the United States, although several presidents in recent times have had more than one journalist in theircoun- cils. Jackson had Duff Green, of the Unit- ed States Telegraph, and Francis P. Blair and John C: Rivers, of the Globe, in his “kitchen cabinet,” these papers successively being his Washington or- gans. Heselected Amos Kendall for one of his official advisers, Kendall holding the office of postmaster general. Meas- ured by the scale of the times, “Old Hickory” had even more of a liking for newspaper men than has the “Young Hickory” of today. The new state of Oklahoma, in these Rooseveltian days, will start out with nearly as many newspapers as the entire United States had when Jackson entered the presi- dency in 1829. Simon Cameron in Lincoln’s cabinet. Carl Schurz in Hayes’. James GG. Blaine in Garfield's, Arthur’s and in Harrison's ; Frank Hatton and William E. Chandler in Arthur’s. Daniel Man- ning, Daniel 8. Lamont, J. Sterling Morton, Hoke Smith and Norman J. Colman in Cleveland’s; John Hay and Charles Emory Smith in McKinley’s and also in Roosevelt’s, and Robert J. Wynne in Roosevelt’s are among the newspaper men or ex-newspaper men who have sat down at the council table of presidents. tl An Improvement Association. While all the towns around us are forming associations of their business men for the purpose of improving the towns, what is the reason that our town can not have one? It will cost nothing to meet once in two or four weeks and talk over the situation. While it might not do much to boom the town, yet we should get better ac- quainted with one another and with one another’s wants and wishes. A community of spirit creates an enthu- siasm which is very apt to display itself in some direction. The old saying that everything comes to him who waits, may have been true in the old time, but under the spirit of the present age, if a person wants a thing he must Igo after it. We believe there is a go- ahead spirit enough in town to carry an improvement association through to good results if it were only started; and we also believe that after it is fairly started the good effects of it would be felt immediately. Perhaps not as some cities have done in getting great branches of industry to settle there, but in plans for beautifying and improving what we have, and in being ready to embrace opportunities, if any should come. An association of this t kind, it seems to us, would be pleasant and profitable, even if not much in the way of “boom” came from it. Will not some of the business men make a move in the matter? | | Desirable Residence Property for ale —~- > Large corner lot, 66x196 feet, front- ing on the main street of Salisbury | borough, having thereon a very con- venient and desirable 8-room house, a stable, good well, fine fruit, good board walks, ete.
