Dogs in town are a big public nui-
sance, but the infernal squalling
@ats are a greater nuisance. Most of
them live on young chickens, as many
chicken raisers can testify to, and the
proper thing to do is to kill every cat
you get a chance to kill. They are
nasty, filthy, disease-carrying scaven-
gers to make the best of them.
Thousands of people are daily suffer-
ing with kidney and bladder troubles—

sided ever since.

stomach. Kodol digests what you eat,
makes your food do you good. Sold by

Tax Collector T. H. Kennedy, while
strolling in the woods back of Wall,
Sunday afternoon, came upon un large
land turtle, on the shell of which was
carved the initials and figures, “S. M,
8. 1811,” indicating that the reptile is
at the least 96 years old, and possibly
much older, as the carving must have
been done after it had attained full
growth. He intended taking it home
and keeping it as a curiosity, but was
careless in watching it, and it escaped.

Walter Williams has decided to
bring suit against Meyersdale borough,
and he undoubtedly has a very good
case. George Rees was driving a team
belonging to Williams, Monday even-
ing, and while in Meyersdale drove
into a place where the Meyersdale
Water Company had left an open
trench in the street, injuring one of
the horses quite badly. It was after
dark when the accident occurred, and
there was no lantern or other danger
signal at the open trench.
Do you really enjoy what you eat?
Does your food taste good? Do you
feel hungry and want more? Or do
you have a heavy, dull feeling after
meals, sour stomach, belching, gas on
the stomach, bad breath, indigestion
and dyspepsia? If so, you should take
a little Kodol after each meal. Kodol
will nourish and strengthen your di-
gastive organs and furnish the nataral
igestive juices for your stomach. It
will make you well, It will make your
food do you good. Turn your food into
good, rich blood. Kodol digests what
you eat. Sold by E.H. Miller. 8-1 -
The time of year is now here when
the common house fly is an intolerable
nuisance, and there is no doubt what-
ever about the house fly being a great
spreader of disease. Butchers should
be careful not to let flies crawl about
over their meats, cleavers, saweg, knives,
blocks, etc., and dealers in fruits and
green groceries should also exercise
great care in that direction. A few
cents invested in mosquito bar will ef-
fectually keep flies from swarming
around over fresh meat, boxes of ber-
ries and meat market equipments. No
one wants to have his meat cut with
knives, saws and cleavers eovered with
fly specks, and there is no occasion to
allow scales, blocks and counters to be-
come befouled with them. And who
wants to eat strawberries or other
fruit to which flies are allowed to have
free access? Cleanliness is next to
godliness, and to sell only clean food
products is godliness itself.
A freak has been born at the Charn
Lenen farm, near Garland, that will
some of these days blossom forth at
the county fairs to astonish the natives
and win sheckels for its owner. It isa
two-headed calf, having three eyes,
two sets of nostrils, and other peculiar
features. The animal has b&en purchas-
ed by Oris White, of Garland, and he
is now getting the freak in shape for
exhibition purposes. The animal
three weeks old, but is quite weak, anil
the mucous membranes of the nostrils
appear to he too large to permit the
calf to breathe freely, and the heart
action is accordingly affected. It is
hoped, however, that the monstrosity
will live—Warren Times.
I will mail you free, to prove merit,
samples of my Dr. Shoop’s Restorative,
and my Book on either Dyspepsia, The
‘Heart or The Kidneys. - Troubles of the
Stomach, Heart or Kidneys, are merely
symptoms ofa deeper ailment. Don’t
make - the common error of treating
symptoms only. Symptom treatment
is treating the result of your ailment,
and not the cause. Weak Stomach
nerves—the inside nerves—mean Sto-
mach weakness, always. And the
Heart, and Kidneys as well, have their
controlling or inside nerves. Weaken
these nerves, and you inevitably have
weak vital organs. Here is where Dr.
Shooy’s Restorative has made its fame.
No other remedy even claims to treat
the “inside nerves.” Also for bloating,
biliousness, bad breath or complexion,
use Dr. Shoop’s Restorative. Write me
to-day for sample and free Book. Dr.

Reunion of Fifty-fourth Regiment.
The annual reunion of survivors of
the Fifty-fourth Regiment, P. V. I,
which is to be held in Lakemont Park,
near Altoona, on July 24, promises to
attract a large crowd. Friends of the
regiment are invited to participate in
the gathering. Excursion rates will'be
given by the different ratlroad com-
panies. Somerset county furnished a
number of men for this regiment, and
many of them from this vicinity.
WAR AGAINST CONSUMPTION.
All nations are endeavoring to check
the ravages of consumption, the “white
plague” that claims so many victims
each year. Foley’s Honey and Tar
cures coughs and colds perfectly, and
you are in no danger of consumption
Do not risk your health by taking some
unknown preparation when Foley's
Honey and Tar is safe and certain in
results. The genuine is in a yellow
package. Sold by all Druggists. 8-1
New Pure Food Law.
The new pure food law enacted by
the last Legislature went into effect on
July 8th, and agents of the Department
in every county of the state are vigor-
ously enforcing it.
The new law is an improvement over
the former act in that it permits the re-
tailer and wholesaler to protect them-
selves against prosecuticn for selling
impure foods by taking a guarantee of
purity from the person from whom they
buy, thus removing the very unjust
burden which the retailer labored un-
der when the former law was in force.
TAKE THE POSTMASTER’S WORD
FOR IT.
Mr. ¥. M. Hamilton, postmaster at
Cherryvale, Ind., keeps also a stock of
general merchandise and patent medi-
cines. Hesays: ‘“Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy is
standard here in its line. It never fails
to give satisfaction and we could hardly
afford to be without it.” For sale at

B. & 0. Railroad to Improve Service.
We have always believed that the B.
& O. railroad intended to give the best
service that it is possible to give to the
patrons of the road, as soon as they
are able to adjust the workings of the
great system to the unusual demands
of their patrons, especially on the 8. &
C. branch. That the 8. & C. branch is
taxed to its capacity, is a well known
fact, because of the marvelous develop-
ment of the coal fields, and we are per-
fectly safe in saying that more coal is
shipped over this branch than over any
other on the B. & O. lines. Registered
at Hotel Hentz on last Monday were
two of the B. & O. surveyers who took
the train, Tuesday morning, for Listie,
where they began to survey the lines
and determine whether it would be a
better plan to double-track the entire
branch or discard the old line alto-
gether and straighten the road and
then double-track the same. We know
that either plan will be of great ser-
vice in relieving the congestion of traf-
fic, and the sooner the work is done
the happier will be the patrons of the
road.—Rockwood Leader.
BEST MEDICINE IN THE WORLD
FOR COLIC AND DIARRHOEA.
“1 find Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy to be the best
remedy in the world,” says Mr. C. L.
Carter, of Skirum, Ala. “I am subject
to colic and diarrhoea. Last spring it
seemed as though I would die, and I
think I would if I hadn’t taken Cham-
berlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. I haven’t been troubled
with it since, until this week, when I
had a very severe attack and took half
a bottle of the twenty-five cent size
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy, and this morning I
feel like a new man.” For sale at Mil-

Emil Kleman, 85 Years of Acs]
Walks 228 Miles in Twelve
Days. {
On last Tuesday morning there came
to Rockwood a man 85 years of age, en
route to Connellsville, afoot. The old
gentleman presented a very striking |
appearance with long locks of chestnut |
brown hair hanging over his shoulders,
a weather-beaten, but good, strong face |
and a very happy disposition. Mr.!
Emil Kleman made the trip from Bal- |
timore to Rockwood, 228 miles, in|
twelve days, by following the B. & O.|
railroad the entire distance. He ex- |
pected to land in Connellsville on Sat- |
ruday, July 6, where he intends re-
siding with his daughter. Some two
months ago his son-in-law, who was
employed in the shops at Cincinnati,
Ohio, was thrown out of employment
because of a strike then on, in the de-
partment in which he worked. Later
he secured employment in Connells- |
ville. After procuring what he thought
to be sufficient money to move his
family, he returned to Cincinnati for
the purpose of shipping his goods and
removing his family to Connellsville.
Later he discovered that he had just
enough money to take his ‘family and
goods through, and to send the old |
gentleman to Baltimore by rail. Mr. |
Kleman told the son-in-law to go|
through, and he would meet him in |
Connellsville later. That this is a re-|
markable feat performed by thig octo- |
genarian, goes without saying.
The fact that he had walked at the
rate of 19 miles a day, and kept it up|
for that period of time, is a feat which i
men much younger than this gentle-|
man would consider remarkable. After |
all the entire matter resolves itself
into simple filial devotion, one of the |
strongest passions of the human soul,
and one which has furnished so many |
examples of heroism and self sacrifice
that embellish the pages of history. |
We hope the old gentleman arrived |
safely at his destination, and may yet |
have many years of a happy life with
his kin.—Rockwood Leader.

SAN FRANCISCO. |
The Earthquake City as Viewed by
|
a Salisbury Man. |
Under date of June 27th, our friend
James F, Easton wrote an interesting
letter to the editor from Hazen, Ne-
vada. Following are some extracts |
from Mr. Easton’s letter, which we be-
lieve will be read with interest by THE
STAR’S readers:
“I am bound, I know not whither.
Of course, I am almost certain of the
ultimate whither, but am speaking of
the more immediate.
“I visited the site of San Francisco.
It’s shocking. In fact it did it the very
night I arrived there.
myself gathered in the very center of
the street, with one eye on the con-
crete block to the left, the other on the
large brick block to the right, I con-
cluded, with some haste, that perfect
happiness could not be attained in a
place where the earth had formed the
habit of sliding from beneath one’s
feet, then precipitating an expensive
business block upon you.
“TI was not left long alone. San
Francisco soon joined me. One. par-
ticular four hundred and fifty thou-
sandth of it came so hastily, that from
any save an earthquake viewpoint, one
could not but note the similarity of his
appearance to what must have been
that of the newly finished first of us.
He may have had something on his
mind.
“A city of ruins, and for what end?
It seems to me some less calamitous
means could have been employed than
the total destruction of an entire city,
that the commiseration of a touched
(use this word idiomatically to suit
your taste) people might contribute to
the enrichment of Mayor Schmitz &
Company. He may soon die.
“That whatever is, is right, we may
not question. But ‘Frisco™ gone for
such an end, and Harry K. Thaw still
with us! But whyfore?”
Since receiving the above, the writer
of the same has turned up in Michigan,
and requests us to send THE STAR to
him at Whitmore. What he is doing
there, he sayeth not, but we request
him to write frequently.

Joe Bing, he cut ten cords of wood
From rise to set o’ sun;
He cut it, and he piled it, too,
Yes, sir, that’s wa't he done.
| To cut ten cords o’ wood, I vow,
Is one tremendous chore—
Joe Bing cut his behind the stove
In DeLozier’s candy store.
Joe Bing, he cut eight loads o’ hay,
I swan, an’ raked it, too,
An’ in twelve hours by the clock
He was entirely through.
He could, T guess, before he slept,
Cut jes’ as many more,
He cut it where he did the§wood—
In DeLozier’s candy store.

He plowed it good an’ neat ;
An’ fore the sun had near gone down
The job was all complete.

Wan’t tired, nor leas’ bit sore,
He plowed it all in one short day—

Joe Bing mined 20 tons of coal,
And loaded it in cars;
He mined it and he loaded it
In just about six hours.

G.B. BURHANS TESTIFIES AFTEK
FOUR YEARS.
G. B. Burhans, of Carlise jCenter, N.
Y., writes: ‘‘About four years ago I
wrote you stating that I had been en-
tirely cured of a severe kidney trouble
by taking less than two bottles of
Foley’s Kidney Cure. It entirely stop-
ped the brick dust sediment, and pain
and symptoms of kidney disease disap-
peared. I am glad to say that I have
never had a return of any of those
symptoms during the four years that
have elapsed; and I am evidently cured
to stay cured, and heartily recommend
Foley’s Kidney Cure to any one suffer-
ing from kidney or bladder trouble.”

A Tillman Illustration.
Senator Tillman was attacking an of-
fender who pleaded a hypocritical and
false excuse.
“Why,” he cried, ‘the man is worse
than that rich coal-dealer who said to
his weight-clerk during a blizzard:
“Frank, make that ton of coal for
Bell two hundred and fifty pounds
short. Mrs. Bell is a poor, delicate
widow, and she will have to carry all
of it up two flights of stairs. I don’t
want her to overtax her stremgth.”
