OGLE | I'nere are, and always have been i people pretty well blessed (or cursed, | we don’t know whieh) with this world’s { goods, who, with all their means, are very cheap guys. The particular class to which we refer seem to think that a country newspaper man is invariably an easy mark or a cheap guy like them- selves, and in consideration of a little, measly newspaper subscription, grudg- ingly given, they expect an editor to frequently devote a considerable por- tion of his newspaper space to publish- ing society items in which the afore- said class figure prominently, but which is nothing but “tommyrot” and slobber in the estimation of the average news- paper reader. It is all right to make mention of commonplace society mat- ters in a short, concise way as a matter of news, and the average newspaper man is ever willing to devote a reason- able portion of his space to such mat- ter. But when a big, self-laudatory write-up is expected, the persons seek- ing the notoriety should be willing to pay for it. But some designing graft- ers and cheap skates seem to think that all that is necessary is to send a check for a subscription and a marked news- paper article or a lot of poorly written manuscript as a hint as to what they expect in the way of self-laudation at the hands of the editor of the home paper. That kind of a broad hint may bring the desired result at some print shops, but it won’t go here. We can- not make a living by devoting a whole lot of our space to the doings of cod- fish aristocracy. KOONTZ & OGLE Attorneys-At-Tuaw, SOMERSET, PENN’A Office opposite Court House. VIRGIL R.

AB Fs GOODS, And Eggs. Last night the Town Council met in special session for the purpose of hiring a policeman. A half dozen or more persous had applied for the position, and it required eight ballots before any of the candidates could muster enough votes to be elected. George B. Walker was elected on the eight ballot by a unanimous vote, at a salary of $45.00 per month. He was hired for one year, the Council reserv- ing the right to discharge him at any time, if his services should prove un- satisfactory. \ : : +.

Don’t let beer get the best of you. ‘town are simply furious over the result, for the successful candidate has been tried as extra policeman in times past, and it seems to be the general opinion that he has proven himself a miserable failure. However, we do not blame Walker for going after the job, for it no longer seems to be the desire to hire a police- man in Salisbury for anything but or- namental purposes, and as an object on which to squander the taxpayers’ money. It used to be that a policeman in this'town was required to earn his salary, but that day has gone by, and we congratulate George Walker on landing a soft snap for himself. Many people seem to think that if a police- man was to be hired merely for dress parade, that “Barney” Krausse should have been given the job. arguing that he is a better-looking man than Walker. But there are differences of opinion as to that.” Some of the defeated candidates feel pretty sore, not so much on account of not getting the police job as on account of the discovery that some of their pre- tended friends who urged them to ap- ply, shamefully and sneakingly played the Judas act with them, going back on their promises and showing that their estimate on the value of honor is very low when such pretended friends have an ax to grind and are in a position to make a few flunkies turn the grind- stone. Bat, let us all hope for the best, and if George B. Walker proves himself a good and efficient officer, now that he is the head of the police force, he will have no supporter more loyal than THE STAR. brewed at Latrobe, Pa., and recognized by chemists and wholesome, beverage.

A writer for an exchange very truth- fully says it seams that the farmer and land owner count for nothing in game legislation. The rabbits may destroy all his young trees and eat up his gar- | den, the squirrels may cut off all of his apples before they are ripe and carry off his shellbarks and chestnuts before | he can gather them, while minks, weasels, polecats and opossums may feast on his poultry galore, and yet ir| the proposed law passes he will not be | permitted to go in search of them even on his own land, unless he pays a dol- | lar license. It seems to us that about all he will be permitted to do will be to pay his taxes and listen to some other fellow’s gun cracking away and | playing havoc with the game, while the farmers are too busy getting away the crops to even stop and shoot a rabbit or see a squirrel. The city hunter who pays no taxes in many instances will will deplete the crop of game, and by the time the farmer gets a spare mo- ment to hunt, there is no use in hunt- ing any more. All this is true, and the kind of a game law that Pennsylvania needs is one that will give the farmer the right to pump every city sportsman full of buckshot that he catches on his land, as nine-tenths of them are a menace to the lives of the farmers, their families and their live stock, and theréd isn’t a bigger nuisance in any rural commun- ity than the annual crop of city dudes, thugs and pimps that come out into the country to hunt. SAVED HER SON'S LIFE. The happiest mother in the little town of Ava, Mo., is Mrs. S. Ruppee.

The next primary election, whieh must be generally observed over the entire state, will be held the first Sat urday in June, and is known as the Spring Primary.

The election officers receive one-half pay for their services, which is paid by the County Treasurer, who in turn re- ceives the money from the State Treas urer, Persons desiring to become candi dates for State offices must file peti- tions with the Secretary of the Com- monwealth at least four weeks prior te June 1, and in all other cases at least three weeks before June 1, with County Commissioners. The petitions must be signed by voters representing the party proposed politically, viz.: For mem- bers of Congress, Judges of courts and State Senators, 200 qualified electors, and for Representatives and officers to be voted for by the entire county, fifty qualified electors. One of the changes which goes inte effect at the June primary is, “that ne elector shall be permitted to receive any marking his ballot unless he shall first make an affidavit that he cannot read the names on th assistance in advice I began giving him Dr. King’s New Discovery, and 1 soon noticed im- provement.

For the first time in fifty years the design on the gold coins of the United States are to be changed. This is the decision of the President. who, under the law, may do as he likes regarding such designs, providing that they shall not be changed oftener than once in twenty-five years, and that on each coin there shall appear an emblem of liberty, the year of the coinage and the words “E pluribus unum.” Beyond being bound by this general descrip- tion, the President can make any change that suits his fancy. President Roosevelt believes that the gold coins now in use are not ar- tistic, and in discussing the matter with the officials of the Treasury De- partment, he decided to consult an ar- tist. As a result, appropriate designs are being prepared which will be sub- mitted to the Executive for his ap- proval, and to guide him in the selec- tion of a suitable stamp. It is believed he will appoint a commission of officials to assist him in selecting the proper one, Nothing will be done with the silver coins now in circulation, as the emblems on them have been in use only a few years. — PENNSYLVANIA PENSIONERS. Under the operation of the McCum- ber pension bill it is estimated by Gen- eral St. Clare Mulholland, pension agent, at Philadelphia, that veterans in the state will receive an additional $2,000,000 annually. Pennsylvania heads the pension list, having 98,820 veterans and widows on the list. This is nearly one-tenth of the total number of pensioners in all states, territories and foreign countries, the total number being 980,800. While the advocates of the bill argu- ed that it would not increase the an- nual expenditures in pensioners by more than $15,000,000,, General Mul- holland estimates that the total in- crease will be nearer $20,000,000, and that Pennsylvania will come in for 10 per cent. of this.

If the following, which we clip from an exchange is true, the B. & O. Rail- road Company deserves much credit for coming to a very sensible decision. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Com- pany will, in the future, give out gen- eral information about the road, and furnish authentic reports of accidente or wrecks, if the public has a plausible interest in such information. The of= ficials of the road have received a let- ter from the head official of the road at Baltimore, notifying them to give out to newspapers all general informa- tion concerning the railroad. The let- ter did not give a detailed account of what was meant by “general informa- tion of the railroad,” but mentioned promotions, accidents and wrecks. Et stated, however, that when in doubt as to the advisability of giving out certain kinds of information, the general press agent should be communicated with, and his decision abided by. The com- munication stated that this policy had been deemed advisable, as newspapers all over the country, unable to get authentic information concerning rail- road accidents and wrecks, generally greatly exaggerated the facts and criticised the railroad company.
