Two Sons of Nicholas Murphy Killed
in Awful Mine Explosion.
The awful mine explosion which oc-
curred at Jacob's Creek, Pa. last
{ Thursday, numbered among its victims
| Joseph and Nicholas Murphy, Jr,
both
of Nicholas Murphy. the well
known Grantsville policeman. and
brothers of Frank and James Murphy,
who conduct a restaurant in Salisbury.
Up to this time the body of Nicholas
has not been found, or if found could
not be identified. The body of Joseph,
however, was one of the first to be re-
covered from the ill-fated mine.and was
interred at Meyersdale, Monday fore-
noon.
Deceased was better known in Mey-
ersdale than here, and the Meyersdale
Commercial makes the following men-
tion of the unfortunate man and his
funeral:
Joseph Murphy, fire boss of the Darr
mine, unmarried and unrecoginazable,
was laid to rest here in his childhood
home, Monday forenoon, by the rites of
the R. C. Church. Joseph, we think,
was born here ahd grew to manhood
here. He became an expert miner.
He drifted to the coke region, where
wages were better, and his known abili-
ty soon gave him the promotion he
worthily earned. He was about 31
years of age “and was unmarried.
When Joseph was about eight years
old, he fell from High street bridge, on-
to the caboose of a passing freight train
below, and bounced from the roof to
the track. Councilman Jac. J. Holzahu
tenderly lifted the little fellow from
the track, expecting to find him dead,
but death was not yet ready for him;
a broken limb was the worst, and Dr.
Good soon had the little fellow on the
mend, and in a short time he was good
as new.

A FINE COMPLIMENT.
Kind Words from John Crawford
Mackey, D. D., of Uniontown,
Pa.—Would Stump the §oun-
ty for Us.
[n remitting for subscription to Tur
Star, John Crawford Mackey, D. D., of
Uniontown, Pa., refers to the “Twink-
ler” as “the good, moral, fearless STAR,”
and then adds the following:
“01d fellow, I have listed you among
those that I understand and admire—
one well worthy of the friendship of
the best men. I only wish’ I was in
Somerset county. I should be tempted
to ‘stump’ it for you in your race for
Legislature.
“We join in good wishes to you and
all at home.”
The Rev. Dr. Mackey also adds the
following postscript:
“Why has not the trolley company
published a time card? I have been
looking for it since the announcement
that it began doing business.”
First of all, we return our grateful
thanks to Dr. Mackey for his remittance
and his kind words, especially for the
latter. We value a compliment com-
ing from such a scholar and gentleman
as he is, far more than money and bank
checks, and kind regards are always
appreciated, no matter from what
source. .
In regard to our valued friend's
question concerning the trolley sched-
ule, we will state that one of the of-
ficials of the road has informed us that
the company will publish a schedule
just as soon as they get the contract
for carrying the mails, which may or
may not be soon. Mr Stotler, the
present mail contractor, is only too
anxious to relinquish the mail contract
in the trolley company’s favor, and a
postoffice inspector has promised that
the change would be made in due
time. However, with the Postoffice
Department there is no hurry, and
there is no public utility, whether man-
aged by the government or private cor-
poration, that strikes us as being so
bunglingly managed as the mail ser-
vice. The people who are howling for
goverment ownership of all public utili-
ties, would soon get such nonsense out
of their heads if they were as familiar
with the many needless weak: spots in
the mail service as are those who have
been in that service for a few years.
But we are digressing from the subject,
and by way of conclusion will state
that the trolley company has promised
to publish a schedule just as soon as
its officers adopt a regular one. The
present schedule is only a temporary
one, but the company ought to have it
published, just the same, as it may be
in force a good while yet. Besides.
when a new schedule is adopted, it is a
matter of only a few minutes for the
printers to make the necessary correc-
tions, and there would be no additionul
cost for making them.
A HOME MADE HAPPY BY CHAM-
BERLAIN'S COUGH REMEDY.

had measles which settled on her lungs
and at last resulted in a severe attack
of bronchitis. We had two doctors, but
no relief was obtained. Everybody
thought she would die. T went

Accidents on Trolley Line.
Last Saturday morning an acciden{
happened on the trolley line that cau-~-
ed all traffic to be suspended until Sun-
day afternoon. Some of the electrical
apparatus of the ear got out of fix and
literally burned out. Mr. Shananburg-
er made the necegsary repairs,
ever,and then everything went
until Christmas night, when a rock
rolled down Huntsrick hill, landed on
the track and derailed the car, which
was not gotten back on the rails until
today.
The motorman and conductor both
saw the rock coming, but were
close to it that the car could not be
stopped before it rolled onto the track
and derailed the car.

GOODBYE OLD YEAR.
We are about to step from the old
year to the new, and we are reminded
that after all our fears and apprehen-
sions, to many of us it has been a very
kind year. To some, we know that the
/ dark side has been turned, bat after all,
there is a gleam of sunshine for all, if
we but look for it. We would not for-
get that upon the homes of some of our
readers, since last New Years day, a
shadow has fallen, and a mantle of
sorrow has wrapped its~inmates in its
sombre folds.
Other homes are like the empty nest
that hangs on the withered bough, des-
olate because the life and song went
out with the birds. New homes have
been made and old ones have been
severed, but in our onward march it is
not well to stop and weigh the load
each one carries. No life is all sun-
shine or all storm. If the new year
brings prosperity, let us rejoice; if ad-
versity, let us be brave. The sunset
gate of life will swing shut upon some
of us ere the close of another year. Let
us see to the record left on this side.
If our dear ones and friends leave us
for the summer land, let not the mem-
ory of harsh words spoken by us. add
to the pangs of Senazation.

WHEN TO GO HOME.
From the Bluffton, Ind., Banner:
“When tired out, go home. When you
want consolation, go home. When you
want fun, go home. When you want
to show others that you have reformed,
go home and let your family get ac-
quainted with the fact. When you
want to show yourself at your best, go
home and do the act there. When you
feel like being extra liberal, go home
and practice on your wife and children
first. When you want to shine with
extra brilliancy, go home and light up
the whole household.” To which we
would add, when you have a bad cold,
go home and take Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy, and a quick cure is certain.

beef hides away which he had purchas-

owner, the animals ran away. They

Weak Women
To weak and ailing women, there is at least one
way to help. But with that way, two treatments,
must be combined. One is local, one is constitu-
tional, but both are important, both essential.
Dr Shoep's Night Cure is the Local.
Dr. Shoop's Restorative, the Constitutional.
The former—Dr. Shoop's Night Cure—is a topical
mucous membrane suppository remedy, while Dr.
Bhoop’s Restorative is wholly an internal treat-
ment. The Restorative reaches throughout the
entire system, seeking the repair of all nerve,
all tissue, and all blood ailments.
The *‘Night Cure’, as its name implies, does its
work while you sleep. It soothes sore and inflame
ed mucous surfaces, heals local weaknesses and
discharges, while the Restorative, eases nervous
excitement, gives renewed vigor and ambition,
builds up wasted tissues, bringing about renewed
strength, vigor, and energy. Take Dr. Shoop's
Restorative—Tablets or Liquid—as a general toni
to the system. For positive local help, use as well
