FOLEYSHONEYA<TAR nation on the Republican Ticket. stops the cough and heals lungs For Recorder of Deeds, DANIEL W. WELLER. The subject of this sketch was born and reared in Somerset township, three miles north of Somerset. He is a son of the late William F. Weller. He re- ceived his early education in the pub- lic schools of this county, and later graduated from the Central State Nor- mal School, at Lock Haven, Pa. Mr. Weller taught a number of terms in the public schools of this county, his last term being taught in Somerset borough. When the Farmers’ National Bank was organized in Somerset, Mr. Weller was employed as clerk in that institu- tion, which position he filled in an able and creditable manner for nearly two years, after which he secured a similar position in the Somerset County Na- tional Bank, where he is employed at the present time. Aside from being a man of good, practical education, Mr, Weller is a man of good natural ability and pre- ciseness. Whatever he does, he does well, and he is never afraid of doing more than he gets paid for. His habits are most exemplary, and his "manner most pleasant and affable. Mr. Weller makes friends wherever he goes, and his best and truest friends rare those who have known him the iongest. If elected to the office he seeks, there can be but one result—a Fereditable official record, creditable alike to himself and to the county. It THIS IS WORTH REMEMBERING.

I am a candidate for the Assembly and will be grateful for the support of Republicans at the Primary Election to be held on Saturday, April 11, 1908 Shauld I be unable to see all of the Republican voters before the primary election, I assure those whom I may not meet, that I will appreciate their votes: If elected, I shall be guided by con- scientious motives, and endeavor to represent the intelligent judgment of the people of the county. 1t rea CHAMBERLAIN'SCOUGH REMEDY IS BOTH AGREEABLE AND EFFECTIVE. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy has no superior for coughs, colds and croup, and the fact that it is pleasant to take and contains nothing in any way in- jurious has made it a favorite with mothers. Mr. W. 8. Pelham, a mer- chant of Kirksville, Towa, says: “For more than twenty years Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy has been my leading remedy for all throat troubles. It is especially successful in cases of croup. | Children like it and my customers who | have used it will not take any other.” | For sale at Miller's Drug Store. 4-1 | MISSOURI HEARD FROM. | | A Fine Tribute from an Old Friend. Old Elk Lick township probably never produced a more genial, popular and warm-hearted citizen than Albert G. Keim. He is a brother of Judge M. W. Keim, of Johnstown, Pa., and the youngest son of the late Jonas J. Keim, who served this county as As: sociate Judge. more than 40 years ago, and also served this district in the As- sembly at Harrisburg. Albert is known to a very large num- ber of THE STAR’s readers, and so is his estimable wife, who is the eldest daughter of Samuel J. Lichty, deceased, late an honored and respected resident of Salisbury. Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Keim emigrated | from Salisbury to Nebraska, about 30 years ago, but now reside at Jefferson City, Mo., where Mr. Keim is ably fill- ing the office of Bond Clerk, in the of- fice nf the State Auditor. He has also filled other important offices in his time, such as County Clerk of Gage county, Neb., and Deputy United States Marshall. He is a man of fine ability, and has been a staunch and kind friend to the editor of this paper for these many years. Learning that we have entered the political arena as a candidate, Mr. Keim has sent us the following highly complimentary letter, for which we feel duly greatful, knowing as we do that all the kindly sentiment expressed by Mr. Keim came direct from his kind and generous heart: JerreRsoN City, Mo., March 6, 1908. Mr. P. L. Livengood, Elk Lick, Pa. DEAR Perer L.—Today I received a copy of THE STAR sent me by home folks, announcing your candidacy for the Legislature from my old home county, Somerset. I wish it were my privilege to vote for you on the plat- form you announce. Living as I do at the Capital city of our state, and having been a daily" at- tendant of our 43rd and 44th sessions, I readily see the necessity: of having MEN to fill the office of Legislator. The same proposition was before our last session, and all men of principle voted for prohibition. Those who were weak on this point, were picked up by the Saloon element, and cast their votes against the wishes of their con- stituency. I have known you from childhood, and I am here to say that jour word has always been as good as a bond. never faltering at a duty, brave and manly in your actions. I have enough confidence in the good citizenship of Somerset county, Pa., to believe your people will elect such men as Peter L. Livengood, and I expect to hear of your nomination. Wishing you success, I am truly yours, A. G. Kem. CHAMBERLAIN’S COLIC,CHOLERA AND DIARRHOEA REMEDY. This remedy has been in use for over thirty years,and has proved itself to be the most successful remedy yet dis- covered for bowel complaints. It nev- er fails.

Crise, of Lavansville, Pa., whose announce- ment appears in this issue of the “Twinkler.”” Mr Crise is a very rep- utable citizen, residing at Lavansville, and was born and reared in that vicin- ity. He is a plasterer by trade, and has followed that avocation for the past 15 or 20 years. He is a lifelong Republican, snd he, like many others, thinks no man more worthy to fill pub- lic office than the men who earn their bread by hard manual labor. Mr. Crise is not a rich man, but he is said to be an honest one, and if elected he will be duly thankful, and will serve the pub- lic to the best of his ability. 1t. ly Albert C. Eicher. The above named gentleman was in town this week hustling for votes for nomination for Register of Wills, as a Republican candidate. Mr Eicher is the genial and popular Fort Hill mer- chant and postmaster. He made a very good impression while here, and is a man in every way qualified to fill the office he seeks. His announce- ment will be found is this issue of Tur Star. it. ee NO CASE ON RECORD. There is no case on record of cough or cold resulting in pneumonia or con- sumption after Foley’s Honey and Tar has been taken, as it will stop your cough and break up your cold quickly.

Several Persons in Jail as Result— Booze Figured, as Usual, in the Ruetion. Last week’s issue of the Rockwood | Leader gave the following account of a | sensational ruction at Casselman: There were five cases on trial last Saturday in which the principals and witnesses all hailed from Casselman. In the first Harry Barnes was defend- ant and A. M. Johnson, proprietor of Hotel Wabash, was prosecutor, the charge being carrying concealed weap- ons, and the result was an equal divis- ion of the costs of prosecution between plaintiff and defendant. In the second case Frank Scott and others were defendants, and A. M. Johnson the prosecutor, and the charge was assault and battery with intent to kill. In the third prosecution David Barnes and others were defendants, and Landlord Johnson was again plaintiff, and the charge assault and battery. But in the fourth case John- son was defendant and Frank Scott was prosecutor, the charge being surety. In the fifth and last case Johnson was also defendant, and Scott prosecu- tor, the charge being pointing fire- arms. The outcome of the last four cases resulted in the acquittal of Johnson in which he was defendant, and convie- tion of other defendants as follows: Frank Scott, 60 days in jail; David Barnes, 30 days in jail ; Charles Barnes, 15 days in jail; each to pay a fine of $50 and one-third of the cost of prose- cution. The facts in the case seem to be that Johnson made some accusations against Harry and David Barnes, two brothers residing at Casselman, and against Frank Scott, a negro, that they had stolen a jug of whisky and $10 from his saloon. The Barnes Brothers met Johnson, and, according to the testi- mony, one of them drew a revolver and covered Johnson with the weapon, inquiring whether Johnson had made any remarks about the Barnes brothers stealing a jug of whisky. Johnson de- nied that he had accused them. Shortly afterward Frank Scott; the negro, met Johnson and told him in very forcible language that he, Scott, had not taken the whigky. Johnson then got a re- volver and walked about with it in his hand, to protect himself. A fight en- sued, and Johnson brought his criminal charges against the Barnes brothers and Scott. Counter charges were brought by the Barnes brothers and Scott, and the case came before the court. The case was on trial for two days, and was watched with consider- able interest by Casselman citizens. Moral: Let booze alone, and do not quarrel over it or about it; and’ on April 11th go to the polls and help to give P. L. Livengood, the outspoken Local Option and Anti-Vaceination candidate for the Assembly, as big a lift for the Republican nomination as you can. el ae John H. Shaffer for Prothonotary. John H. Shaffer, the genial and pop- ular painter who?resides at Listie, is one of the latest candidates to nounce his candidacy for the Republi- can nomination for Prothonotary. He was a welcome caller at THE Star of- fice, last Friday, and while here placed his announcement in the “Twinkler.” John’s plea for office is that the honest working man should be given recog- nition at the hands of the voters, and so say thousands more. That Jahn H. Shaffer is an honest man, none can deny. He had been a bankrupt with a number of outlawed accounts, which for a long time he was not able to pay. However, through successful litigation with a man who owed him asnug sum of money, and which recently fell into his possession, Mr. Shaffer at once pro- ceeded to pay all his honest debts. Most men do not pay outlawed ac- counts, but all honest ones do so when they are able, and “Bully” John Shaffer is one of that kind. Because of his honest course after fortune smiled upon him, he will undoubtedly run a large vote for the office he seeks, and his many friends hope to see him win. 1% an- RHEUMATIC PAINS RELIEVED. Chamberlain’s Pain Balm relieves rheumatic pains and makes sleep and rest posible, which is alone worth many times its cost. B. F. Crocker, Esq., uow 84 years of age, anb 20 years Justice of the Peace at Martins- burg, Iowa, says: “I am terribly | | Democrat Indulges in Rot and Mis- representation. Editor Livengood’s repudiation of the | agreement with the Local Optionists puts him in the position of a candidate without a party. His broadside in fa- vor of temperance, a few weeks ago, alienated the liquor vote. His break with the committee now will deprive him of local option support. The Pro- hibitionists have already named their own ticket. Such a combination of un- toward circumstances would discour- age the average man, but Brother Livengood rises above discouragement and cheerfully gives notice that there is yet one platform from which Le can- not be dislodged—the platform of anti- vaccination.—Somerset Démocrat. For a sample of genuine rot and wil- ful misrepresentation, the above is en- titled to first premium. This isn’t the first time that the Somerset Democrat has tried to place the editor of this paper in a false light before the public, and THE STAR is beginning to get very tired of such disreputable and under- handed tacties. The editor of this _paper has at no time repudiated an agreement with the Local Optionists, and neither has he been dislodged from the Local Op- tion platform. He stands as firmly on the Local Option platform today sas he ever did, and if elected to the Legis- lature he will do all in his power to bring about Local Option Legislation. Neither is the editor of this paper with- out a party. IIeis a member of the great and grand old Republican party, and stgnds as firmly on its principles today as he ever did. The editor of the Democrat is guilty of wilful misrepresentation, as Tug Star stated plainly in its issue of last week just what agreement we made with the Local Option or "Anti-Saloon League committee, and the editor of the Democrat read what we had to say. That being the case, it must be plain to Editor Coffroth that there was neither a repudiation of an agreement nor a dislodgement from the Local Option platform, so far as P. L. Livengood is concerned. . Our agreement to withdraw from the race was only conditional, and if Edi- tor Coffroth will take the matter up with the Anti-Saloon Leage committee, be will readily be informed by that body that certain conditions prevailed which left us under no pledge or obli- gation to withdraw from the race. It is a serious matter to accuse a man of repudiating an agreement when there is no truth in the accu- sation, and if Editor Coffroth has made his unjust and unkind statement for the purpose of wilful and malicious deception, as appears to be the case, then, in that event, we must brand him as a wilful and malicious liar. If Editor Coffroth is a gentleman, he will correct the erroneous statement he has given out to the public in re- gard to our candidacy, for we have not repudiated a single plank in our plat- form, and neither have we repudiated an agretment with anybody. We are not built that way. However, if it af- fords the Somerset Democrat any pleasure to lie about and misrepresent people who have never done that jour- nal or its editor a wrong, it is welcome to all the consolation it can get out of such a course, which, perhaps, is neces- sary in conducting an organ of a de- genarate organization like the Demo- cratic party. rt Eprror P. L. LivENGoop, of THE SoMERSET County STAR, who is a can- didate for the Legislature from Somer- set county, Pa., in his last issue pub- lishes a lengthy letter defining his po- sition on all public questions affecting his county. This is honest politics, and the kind that the people should de- mand of every candidate. We hope our neighbor may win out and have an opportunity to redeem his pledges to the people.—QOakland Journal. For Free Distribution.
