Deceased was not a brother of D. W. Maust, the township assessor, and of Leonard Maust, the B. & O. agent at Garrett, as the paper stated. He was a brother of Leonard Maust,the farm- er, and a number of other brothers who were reared in the vicinity of the St. Paul church. Mrs. W. H. House was a business visitor at THE STAR office, last Thurs- day. She informed us that she intends to bring a heavy damage suit against the Pennsylvania Railroad Company for the death of her husband, a freight conductor, who lost his life in the em- ploy of that company, some months ago. The accident, it is claimed, was caused by the negligence of a mere boy in charge of a telegraph office that he was not competent to handle. Mrs. House’s many friends all hope to see her win her suit. J. R. Joy, who was quite ill at the Valley House for a week or more, re- turned to his home at Donora, Pa. Monday last. Mrs. Joy was also here for a short period, last week, returning home on Saturday. They are doing a lucrative restaurant business at Do- nora, and last Saturday Mr. Joy offered his Salisbury residence at public sale, but reserved the right to reject all bids. The highest bonafide bid was $4,750, which was rejected. The prop- erty, which isa very desirable one, is now for rent. See advertisement, which appears elsewhere in this issue. Andrew Carnegie, who claims to be trying to bestow charity on people, has found a man who did a heroic act upon whom he bestowed a few dollars. Why don’t he think of the hundreds of her- oine mothers who have stood at their posts fighting sickness, poverty and drunkenness, keeping the wolf from the door, while their husbands were working to increase Carnegie’s profits. He can find thousands of such heroines in this country to whom he could give a few dollars, where it would be char- ity, but—they might not advertise it in the city papers. Theres the rub.— Cumberland Alleganian. “In 1897 I had a stomach disease. Some physicians said Dyspepsia, some Consumption. One said I would not live until Spring. For four years I existed on boiled milk, soda biscuits, and doctors’ prescriptions. 1 could not digest anything I ate; then I picked up one of your Almanacs and it happened to be my life-saver. I bought a fifty- cent bottle of KODOL and the benefit 1 received from that bottle all the gold in Georgia could not buy. In two months I went back to my work, as a machinist, and in three months I was well and hearty. May you live long and prosper.”—C. N. Cornell, Roding, Ga., 1908.

He intends to pull down the old house, which is one of the oldest landmarks in Grantsville, Md., and erect two new houses on the property. Mr. Wegman, the former owner of the aforesaid estate, for many years conducted a store and a country tannery at Grantsville, and his tannery was one of the last country tanneries -in this locality to go out of business as a result of the gigantic city concerns that made country tanning unprofit- able. The old Wegman estate was purchased from Ex-Sheriff Chas Weg- man, for a consideration of $575. The Altoona Evening Gazette, of last Friday, contained the fgllowing item: Henry Rose, an old man, under sen- tence from Bedford county to serve 30 years in the Western Penitentiary for having murdered James B. Miller, of Rainsburg, was in Altoona for a time, Thursday, and attracted no little at- tention, as in charge of an officer he strolled along Eleventh avenue. The prisoner, gray and bent, was not shackled, but his keeper guarded him with zealous care, the old man mani- festing a keen interest in the world about him, the last of which he has now likely seen, as the ailments of ad- vanced age will claim him long before his sentence bas been served, L.A.
