The season has thus far | been almost a total failure, and it can’t amount to much at best, from now on.

Mrs. Annie Murphy, a daughter of the late Mr. Wegman, in- forms us that she and her husband, Nicholas Murphy, purchased the old homestead and intend to pull down the old house and erect a new one. “In 1897 I had a stomach disease. Some physicians said Dyspepsia, some Consumption. Oue said I would not live until Spricg. 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 I 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.

Leonard, who unwittingly and unwillingly disappeared, last Wednesday night, turned up, Satur- day, safe and sound, much to the re- lief of his relatives and friends. Mr. Leonard was in town, Wednesday, and | remained until about 9 p. m., watching { the rising waters, and then started for | his home across the “Yough” river, by | way of the C. & O. bridge. On arriving | at the bridge he found it crowded full of coal cars, and in the inky darkness did not deem i to make the at- | tempt to cross it. Finding an empty box car at hand, Mr. Leonard decided to climb in, get out of the storm and | sleep till morning. Some time in the night the car in which he slept was taken to Connellsville, and Lew woke up to find himself thirty miles from home, and no way to get back or notify his friends of his whereabouts. He re- mained there till Saturday, and came home on the first train.—Confluence News. | t t safe FOUND AT LAST. J. A.

Peter Burkett, a Clearfield county Civil War veteran, was in Uniontown, Friday, en route to Jumonville, where he placed five childred in that insti- tution. sylvania, being the father of 33 chil- of the five children brought to the Jumonville school range from six to 14 years. Mr. Burkett is 76 years old, and survives three wives. During the Civil War he was a member of Company E, 148th Pennsylvania Volunteers.—Con- nellsville Courier. A 7-months-old child of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Vogel died on Monday, and the day following it was buried. There is amination, as many people seem to be of the opinion that the child came to its death under suspicious ecircum- stances. We don’t know whether there is any ground for suspicion or not, but the general opinion seems to be that the County Coroner should immediately investigate the matter and establish the innocence or guilt of the person suspected of foul play, according as thé facts will warrant.

Bender. Funeral of A. D. Statler. The body of Alvin Statler, the young man who was drowned, last week, as the. result of trying to cross the river at Keystone Mines. a full account of which appeared in Tir Star a week ago, was discovered the next morning by Conrad Lindeman, about a mile from where the drowning took place. One hand’ol the dead man was dis- covered sticking up out of the water, Land Mr. Lindeman once made his discovery known. The body was promptly taken to Meyersdale and prepared for burial by Undertaker Reich, who soon had it in a very presentable condition. asi The funeral took place from the resi- dence of the deceased man’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Emanuel Statler, con- ducted by Rev. S. M. Cousins, of the United Evangelical church, and Rev. H.S. May, of the Reformed church, Saturday forenoon. The last sad rites were witnessed by a large concourse of people who knew and esteemed the young man while he lived for his many excellent qualities. ————— at A Plueky but Foolish Woman. There is a plucky young woman up in Jenner township who owns a farm and doesn’t want it embelished with “modern improvements.” She is Miss Laura O'Connor, a sister of Judge 0’Connor, of Cambria county. She drove Chief Engineer Newhouse and eleven assistants in the employ of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad from her farm, and had them arrested besides. At a hearing before Justice Kaufman, last Friday, the entire engineering corps was bound over for May term of court. Chief Newhouse also preferred charges against Miss O'Connor for car- rving concealed deadly weapons, and the fair prosecutrix and defendant gave bail in the sum of $300 for ber ap- pearance at court.—Rockwood Leader. Wonder if Miss O'Connor isn’t some relation to Editor Werner. The former seems to think that railroads should not be permitted to be built on account of spoiling farms, and thé latter is “fernist” trolley because they sometimes utilize portions of county roads, the woods and stay there uutil they get over their old fogy notions about such things. The News—No Pure Drug Cough Cure Laws would be needed, if all Cough Cures were like Dr. Shoop’s Cough Cure is—and has been for 20 years. The National Law now requires that if any poisons enter into a cough mixture, it must be printed on the label or package. For this reason mothers, and others, should insist on having Dr. Shoop’s Cough Cure. on Dr. Shoop’s labels—and none in the medicine, else it must by law be on the label. said to be by those that know it best, a truly remarkable cough remedy. Take no chance, particularly with your chil- dren. Insist on having Dr. Shoop’s Cough Cure. Compare carefully the Dr. Shoop package with others and see. No poison marks there! You can al- ways be on the safe side by demanding Dr. Shoop’s Cough Cure. Simply re- fuse to accept any other.
