The would-be maple sugar experts
that were predicting a record-breaking
crop as late as the middle of March,
this year, are not having much to say,
{ these days. The season has thus far

amount to much at best, from now on.
In fact many sugar makers believe that
the maple sugar season of 1907 is al-
ready at an end.

forms us that she and her husband,
Nicholas Murphy, purchased the old

“In 1897 I had a stomach disease.

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

months I went back to my work, as a
machinist, and in three months I was
well and hearty. May you live long

Lew M. 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

years. Mr. Burkett is 76 years old, and

War he was a member of Company E,
148th Pennsylvania Volunteers.—Con-

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.

pupils?”’—Chas. Butler.
Topical talk—Chas. J. Newman.
Recitation—Florence Comption.

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.

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.

we reproduce the same: |
“R. 8. Beachy & Co,

the phenomenal success of their busi- |

cious use of advertising space. During
the four years or more that the Beachys |
were in business, there was but one
week that their ‘ad’ failed to appear in
the Times, and that was because the
copy failed to reach the oflice in time
