Miss Minnie Miller, a daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Daniel J. Miller, of Elk
Lick township, was taken to Mercy
Hospital, in Pittsburg, Tuesday after-
noon, to be treated for some trouble
which the physicians here are not able
to cope with. The young lady was
successfully operated on for the re-
moval of gall stones, on two different
occasions, but the trouble insists on re-
turning. What will or what can be
done for her at the hospital remains to
be seen, but the many friends of the
sufferer all hope for her ultimate and
complete recovery.
A tickling cough. from any cough, is
quickly stopped by Dr. Shooop’s Cough
Cure. And it is so thoroughly harm-
less and safe, that Dr. Shoop tells
mothers everywhere to give it without
hesitation, even to very young babes.
The wholesome green leaves and ten-
der stems of a lung-healing mountain-
ous shrub, furnish the curative prop-
erties to Dr. Shoop’s Cough Cure. It
calms the cough, and heals the sore and
sensitive bronchial membranes. No
opium, no chloroform, nothing harsh
used to injure or suppress. Simply a
resinous plant extract, that helps to
heal aching lungs. The Spaniards call
this shrub which the Doctor uses, “The
Sacred Herb.” Demand Dr. Shoop’s.
Take no other. Sold by All Dealers.

Fatal Railroad Accident.
There was a collision of two trains
near Listie, last Thursday, that result-
ed in the death of two men, serious in-
jury to another, and also in the almost
total destruction of two engines and
several cars. A freight train took a
s de track to let a passenger train pass,
but for some reason the man who had
charge of the switch neglected to close
it. The passenger train ran in on the
side track, and the two engines came
together with great force. John G
Pile, of Rockwood, who was on his way
to work at Q Junction, was killed out-
right, and C. P. Klump, of Ohio, was
fatally injured and died on his way to
a Johnstown hospital. Another man
by the name of Boyts had an arm
broken.
A DANGEROUS DE EADLOCK
that sometimes terminates fatally, is
the stoppage of liver and bowel funec-
tions. To quickly end this condition
without disagreeable sensations, Dr.
King’s New Life Pills should always be
your remedy. Guaranteed absolutely
satisfactory in every case or money
back, at E. H. Miller’s drug store. 25c.

A Dastardly Deed.
Some vandal, either drunk or sober,
turned on the flow of water at the
fountain in the corridor, and the two
supply points in the Jury and the Sten-
ographer’s rooms, either on Sunday or
Sunday night, on the second floor of
the Court House, and then plugged up
the provisions for its escape into the
proper channels, with the result that
there was an overflow which penetrat-
ed the floors and followed the ceilings
into the rooms of the Register, District
Attorney, and Clerk of the Criminal
Court.
The ceilings and walls were stained
so as to mar their beauty, and it may
be that they are permanently injured.
Since Sunday morning the clock in the
Court House tower has stopped strik-
ing. Whether this was caused by this
same dastard, is open to question at
this writing. It is to be hoped that the
perpetrator will be apprehended, and
that he will be given a punishment as
severe as the law will justify.—Somer-
set Democrat.

ELK LICK VARIETY COMPANY.
Talk of Trolley Extension.
Only the financial depression’s long
continuance, it is said, will prevent the
Pennsylvania & Maryland Street Rail-
way Company, the concern which is
operating in the neighborhood of Mey-
ersdale, from building a line through
Somerset county to Johnstown, next
season. In fact it is said the company
has its finances so shared as to begin
and push the work next summer, no
matter what the industrial skies show,
and folks living along the probable
route in Somerset county are begin-
ning to perk up and take notice.
It is understood that the P.& M.
has made overtures to the directors of
the Southern Cambria for an agree-
ment looking to a connection with the
local system at some . point. This, if
effected, would make a direct line from
Somerset to Ebensburg, and nobody
knows what arrangements may be
made for connections between the
Southern Cambria and the Northern
Cambria companies.
The P. & M. are generally believed
to be behind agents who have been
taking options for a route of some kind
not far south of Johnstown, running
through Jenners and one or two other
nearby townships in this end of Som-
erset county.—Johnstown Journal. Rogers Vk
