Directions To Prepare Simple, Yet | Captain Q. A. McClure, one of Salis-
Remarkable Home Mixture.
A well-known authority on Rheuma-
tism gives the readers of a large New
York daily paper the following valu-
able, yet simple and harmless prescrip-
tion, which any one can easily prepare
at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce ; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in a bottle, and
take a teaspoonful after each meal and
at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can be
obtained from and good prescription
pharmacy at small cost, and, being of
vegetable extraction, are harmless to
take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken reg-
ularly for a few days, is said to over-
come almost any case of Rheumatism.
The pain and swelling, if any, dimin-
ishes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without in-
juring the stomach. While there are
many so-called Rheumatism remedies,
patent medicines, etc.,, some of which
do give relief, few really give perma-
nent results, and the above will, no
doubt. be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of this
neighborhood elicits the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately, or the druggists
here will mix the prescription for our
readers if asked to.

A GOOD CITIZEN GONE.
bury’s Most Highly Esteemed
Citizens, Passes Away.
It is with deep regret and sorrow
that Tae Star this week chronicles the
death of one of Salisbury’s most be-
loved and esteemed citizens, Captain
Quincy A. McClure, who died at his
residence on Union street, last Thurs-
day evening, at 8 o'clock.
His death is mourned by all who
knew him, for Captain McClure was
loved and held in high esteem by all
his neighbors and acquaintances at the
several places where he has resided:
Few men possess as many virtues, and
possess them to as great a degree, as
did Captain McClure. He was in
every sense one of nature’s noblemen
—kind, generous, temperate and manly
in all things.
The one laudable trait that predomi-
nated in this splendid man was his high
sense of honor. Above all things he
hated was dishonesty and all forms of
sham, fraud and deciet. He could not
tolerate the code of morals that would
allow men to repudiate their honest
obligations when able to meet them,
and he regarded dishonest, tricky men,
those who gained or sought to gain
fame and fortune by evading their hen-
est obligations, as the very dregs of
society, even though they might shine
in the social circles of the rich, and
pray frequently, loudly and long in the
houses of religious worship. We can
pay Captain McClure no higher tribute
than to say that he was an honest man,
that his dealings with all men, whether
rich or poor, were always on the square.
He was also extremely kind-hearted
and amiable in his disposition, as well
as open-handed and generous in the
matter of contributing to worthy
causes.
The deceased left his family well
supplied with this world’s goods, for
his was a life of industry and activity
until forced to retire from business on
account of failing health. His life was
a good example for young men to fol-
low, for he started in life poor, but rose
to fame and fortune by industry, pluck,
good judgement and correct habits.
He eel hard labor in hig time,
but always with a determination to do
well whatever he undertook to do, and
to better his condition as opportunities
presented themselves. As a natural
result of his good character, thrift and
industry, he rose rapidly in the busi-
ness ‘world.
Until about five years ago, Captain
McClure was a resident of McKeesport,
Pa., where he was the owner and oper-
ator of the ferry boat H. B. Sinclair,
which for years before the Dravosburg
bridge was built was the only trans-
portation across the Monongahela river
at that point. Captain McClure was
also a river captain and a pilot, and
was well known along the Monongahela
river. At various times he was part
owner of the Jack Gumbert, Amity,
Sally McKee, Nora, Braddock Belle,
Eden and other river steamers, and
also the owner of valuable McKeesport
real estate. In commenting on his
death, the Daily McKeesport News says
he was one of the best known and
highly esteemed residents of that city.
and that after moving away his visits
to McKeesport were always of great
pleasure to his scores of friends.
Some years ago Mr. McClure pur-
chased the Jer. J. Folk farm. now occu-
pied by Ross Sechler, in Elk Lick town-
ship, and while the owner of it, he and
his family resided there during the
summer periods, returning to the city
in winter. After selling the farm, Mr.
McClure built a fine residence in Salis-
bury, which was made the permanent
family home.
All his life Captain McClure took a
keen interest in harmless sports that
required scientific skill, for he realized
that all men, whether busy or gentle-
men of leisure, need a certain amount
of recreation. He was a great devotee
of the rifle and shotgun, and for a time
held the American rifle championship
for 200 yards shooting. At various
times he participated in rifle and shot-
gun contests with such world.famed
marksmen as Wm. Graham, of London,
England, and H. McMurchy, Al Bandle,

member of the Baptist church. In hig
younger days, however, he was a mem-
ber of the Christinn Disciple church.
The funeral service was held at the
First Baptist church at McKeesport,
last Sunday, conducted by Rev. Calvin
Hare, of Lewisburg. Pa., a former pas-
tor of the deceased. A short; bit very
impressive service was also held at the
family residence in Salisbury, Rev
Beechler, of the Meyersdale Brethren
chureh, officiating. Interment was
made in Versailles cemetery, near Me=
Keesport. Deceased is survived by his
wife and six children, as follows: Mary
E.. wife of J. I.. Barchus, president of
the First National Bank of Salisbury ;
Samuel, located in Detroit, Mich.;
William B. and James, students at
Pennsylvania College, at Gettysburg,
and Emma R. and Harry K.. at home.
For the last 28 years of his life, the
deceased was not in robust health, but
he was a man of extraordinary self-
control, and owing to correct living, a
hopeful disposition, ete., he undoubted-
ly lived longer than a less discreet
man would have lived with an affection
of the kidneys that finally terminated
in his death. We further wish to add
that he was a man whose advice and
counsel was freely sought by others,
and it could always be relied upon. He
was a man, taken all in all, of whose
stamp this old world is always sadly in
need of more.
BADLY MIXED UP.
Abraham Brown, of Winterton, N. Y,,
had a very remarkable experience; he
says: ‘Doctors got badly mixed up
over me ; one said heart disease; two
called it kidney trouble; the fourth,
blood poison, and the fifth stomach and
liver trouble ; but none of them helped
me ; so my wife advised trying Electric
Bitters, which are restoring me to per-
fect health. One bottle did me more
good than all the five doctors prescrib-
ed.” Guaranteed for blood poison,
weakness and all stomach, liver and
kidney complaints, by E. H. Miller,

‘‘Uncle Pete” Livengood a Candi-
date.
From the Somerset County Leader.
We notice with no degree of aston-
ishment whatever, that P. L. Livengood,
editor of Tur Star, is a candidate for
the Legislature. The only wonder te
us is the fact that he hasn’t had a seat
in that honorable body for years.
We are absolutely certain that if
“Pete” couldn’t frame better laws than
some of those that have been passed
within the last few years, he would ge
so far out West that no one would ever
hear whether he ever grew up with the
country or not. There is one thing for
which Peter is noted, and that is that
he tells the truth, and calls things by
their proper names. When he knows a
fellow is a liar, he tells him so, and
does not say that he has “inadvertently
and injudiciously been somewhat
guilty of misappropriating the truth.”
If he gets to the Legislature, we are
positive that any deftly drawn lines fe
compromise with cliques and rascals
in affairs pertaining to his constituency
will receive his immediate disapproval
in such emphatic terms that the very
pillars will tremble. The only thing
that we can say is, go after it, “Pete,” a
though you meant it, use all the am-
munition you have and can command,
and represent Somerset county in a
way that it should be represented.
There is plenty of chance for making
an envious record.
Once more our jot is off to Prof.
Bach, the talented and scholarly editor
of the able and prosperous newspaper
published at Rockwood. We wish to
assure Editor Bach and all others that
we are after the office we séek in dead
earnest, and we are getting endorse-
ment from all parts of the county, and
from lots of places outside of it. Of
our virtues we but little say, but we
are pleased te note that our editorial
brethren and acquaintances generally
give us credit with being honest and
fearless, two virtues which we have al-
ways believed in and tried to foster ic
every possible way. As to our ability:
we may or may not lrave as much as
we are usually given credit for. But
to the extent of what ability we pos-
sess, we promise that if elected we will
strive for the enactment of good laws
only, and the repeal of bad ones, of
which we have a number that should
have been repealed long ago.
