From Pittsburg comes the following rumor concerning another Somerset county railroad: Announcement is made that the lo- #8 eation of the proposed new line from Rockwoood, on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, to Bakersville, has been made: but nothing has been done}ltoward starting construction. It is probable that work will not be started until spring, Charles F. Hood, of Connells- ville, is president of the new company, which is known as the Rockwood & Bakersville Railroad Company, the charter having been granted several months ago. Comparatively! little grading will be required, and it is ex- pected that the road will be ready for operation next winter.

Cooper had a confer- ence today with Director Smith, of the Geological Survey, in an effort to have a government mineralogical survey of Somerset county. There are no gov- ernment surveys of Somerset, and one is greatly desired, because of the big deposits of steam coal underlying that region. It was suggested by Mr.jCooper that it would be necessary to havejisome arrangement made with the State Survey Board before thejgovernment could take any decisive action. IT DOES THE BUSINESS. Mr. E. E, Chambrrlain, of Clinton Maine, says of Bucklen’s Arnica Salve: | “It does the business; I have used it for piles and it cured them. Used it for chapped hands and it cured them.

M. Tames, of Louellen, S. C. “It’s called Electric Bitters, and comes in 50 cent bottles. It breaks up a case of chills or a bilious attack in almost no time ; and it puts yellow jaundice clean out of commission.” This great tonic med- icine and blood purifier gives quick re- lief in all stomach, liver and kidney complaints and the misery of lame back.

But you always give Lucy a nice present.” “My money is my own,” returnei Grandma Brogks, rebukingly. ‘‘And my dear granddaughter lL.uecy is al- ways respectful toward me.” “I think I'm the one who takes care of you, grandma—1I take care cof your house, anyhow. I should thirk you might give me a set of furs, cor something,” she added disconso- lately. “I'm afraid, Sally, you have in- herited all the imperfections of your mother. She was an unending trial to me from the day she was born till she ran away to be married.” “I don’t wonder my mother ran away from you,” flashed Sally. “I should run away myself oniy—only ’’ And then further speech was checked by a sob. ‘Only Wesley Burbank is a very prudent young man,” Grandma commented with a chuckle. “He prefers to wait; he thinks I'll prob- ably leave you a lot of money some- time. But if I should you would spend it on furs and things, or lose it as your mother used to do before you. She actually lost $1,000 in bills once which I was sending by her to the bank.” ‘And just because my mother hap- pened to lose that, I suppose I can never have any furs,” wailed Sally, recurring to the original theme of the contréversy. “You might get something from the old cedar chest in the garret; there is a muff and boa which your mother used to wear.” “And which moths have probably devoured ages ago,” declared the un- appeased Sally. “You can find out by looking,” her grandmother returned indifferently. 84lly did not feel very hopeful as she presently ascended the stairs to the murky little garret. And she felt still less hopeful when she lifted the lid of the cedar chest. And there, near the bottom, wrapped in musty paper, were the muff and boa—not 80 ravaged by moths as might be presumed. - “I can trim off the eaten edges and make quite a passable article of this,” Sally mused as she twirled the big muff in an interested fuspection. “But what In the world is in the lining?” she asked herseM, cautious-, ly fingering something which was neither fur nor wadding, and shrink- ing with a little nervous dread of an ambushed mouse. But that she warily ¢.ew forth at length was not a mouse. What she gazed upon with incredulous eyes was a roll of bills which, of course, must be the $1,000 which her moth- er had lost so long ago. How long Sally stood dazed in that dim old garret she nevar'knew. It was her hour of temptation. By the right of her long unpaid and thank- less drudgery, the money was hers. With it she and Wesley could begin life so delightfully—but all the same the money belonged to her grand- mother. . . “I should like to know what alls you?” Grandma Brooks queried with severity a little later as Sally was preparing the dinner. “You haven't the mince pie warming yet, and you're actually putting mustard over the cranberry jelly, I should suppose you'd be more heedful when I have invited Wesley here to dinner Just then the door bell rang, and the grandmother went to the door. A Moment later Wesley Burbank fol- lowed her into the room. “I hope Sally won't spoil our din- ner,” she shid, crossly, for Sally had dropped the luckless mustard bottle, and stood with an averted face, un- mistakably crying. ‘‘She is sulking about rome furs,” Grandma Brooks sniffed in her most aggravating fashion. Sally turned impulsively, with flaming cheeks. “‘I could have more than a set of furs,” she said, saucily, “if I had ‘a mind to be as unjust and wicked as you are, but 1 shall not keep from you what is your own. There is the money my mother lost years aga. It was in the mothy old mufl you allowed me as a birthday present to-day.’” "For ® moment there was an im- pressive silence. ma Brooks turned slowly toward the pair. “I don’t intend to have our dinner marred by heroics nor any other nonsense,” she avowed, with her severest frown. “But perhaps there will be no harm done, Wesley Burbank, if you will look at the dates of the blls Sally found in the muff. Then you will admit what was lost years ago has not been so easily found. -I mean my granddaughters to share alike all I have. If I have been strict with Sally, you have no reason to complain, for I have trained a clever housewife for you, and her honesty has been tested und proved, as you will know. The $1,000 is mv birthday present to her Old folks can outwit the young :ones every time.” And the yonng people admitted with remorse that Grandma Brooks spoke the truth.

If the Somerset farmers have a right of action against coal companies for the drying ap of their springs and oth- er sources of domestic water supply, and such has been declared to be the Inw, the interesting question arises whether or not towns and cities have not a similar legal remedy against lumbermen who denude the land of forestry and dry up the larger sources of domestic water supply. The cases are analagous, except that the communities would seem to have the more equitable right. The farmer sells his coal and sues for damages caused by its taking away. The com- munities have no traffic with the lum- bermen, and owe them not even this moral obligation, if it can be so called. The water question is becoming big- ger and wider as the years go by, says the Connellsville Courier. AN INSIDIOUS DANGER.

If you cough—even from a simple cold only—you should always heal, soothe, and ease the irritated bron- chial tubes. Don’t blindly suppress it with a stupefying poison. It's strange how some things finally come about. For twenty years Dr. Shoop has constantly warned people notto take cough mixtures or prescriptions containing Opium, Chloroform, or similar poisons. And now—a little late though—Congress says “Putiton the label, if poisons are in your Cough Mixture.” Good! Very good !! Here afterfor thisveryreasonmothers, and others, should insist on having Dr. Shoop’s Cough Cure. No poison marks on Dr. Shoop’s labels—and none in the medicine, else it must by law be on the label. And it's not only safe, but it is said to be by those that know it best, a truly re- markable cough remedy. Take no chance then, particularly with your children. Insist on having Dr. Shoop’s Cough Cure. Compare carefully the Dr. Shoop package with others and note the difference. No poison marks there! You can always be on the safe side by demanding Dr. Shoop’s Cough Cure “ALL DEALERS” The Cough Syrup that _ rids the system of a cold by acting as a cathartic on the bowels is BEES LAXATIVE COUGH SYRUP Bees is the original laxative cough contains no opiates, gently moves bowels, carrying the cold off through natural channels, Guaranteed to gi satisfaction or money refunded.
