It looks as though the sugar season
is about over. It has been a fairly
good season, but hardly up to the aver-

Elijah continues to be the sugar king,
and is also a king at general farming
and lumbering. :

Kennedy’s Laxative Cough Syrup—
the cough syrup that tastes nearly as
good as maple sugar, and which chil
dren like so well to take. Unlike
nearly all other cough remedies, it
does not constipate, but on the other
hand it acts promptly, yet gently on
the bowels, through which the cold is
forced out of the’ system, and at the
same time it allays inflammation. Al
ways use Kennedy's Laxative Cough
Syrap. Sold by E. H. Miller. 5-1

work, and the first Sunday school in

Pain, anywhere, can be quickly stop-
ped by one of Dr. Shoop’s Pink Pain
Tablets. Pain always means conges-
tion—unnatural blood pressure. Dr.
Shoop’s Pink Pain Tablets simply coax
congested blood away from pain cen-
ters. These Tablets—known by drug-
gists as Dr. Shoop’s Headache- Tablets
—simply equalize the blood circulation
and then pain always departs in 20
minutes. 20 Tablets 25 cents. Write
Dr. Shoop, Racine, Wis., for free pack-
age. Sold by all dealers. 5-1
Our genial friend U. 8. Werner, late
editor of the Rockwood Leader, was a
most welcome caller at THE STAR office,
last Saturday. He came up to try our
straet car service, which he pronounces

in the home of THE STAR, for it would
be hard to find a better fellow any-
where. He makes friends wherever he
goes, and we never knew him to be in
a bad humor or to have the blues.

That languid, lifeless feeling that
comes with spring and early summer,
can be-quickly changed to a feeling of
buoyancy and energy by the judicious
use of Dr. Shoop’s Restorative. The
Restorative is a genuine tonic to tired,
rundown nerves, and but a few doses is
needed to satisfy the user that Dr.
Shoop’s Restorative is actually reach-
ing that tired spot. The indoor life of
winter nearly always leads to sluggish
bowels, and to sluggish circulation in
general. The customary lack of exer-
cize and outdoor air ties up the liver,
stagnates the kidneys, and oft-times
weakens the Heart’s action Use Dr.
Shoop’s Restorative a few weeks and
all will be changed. A few days test
will tell you that you are using the
right remedy. You will easily and
surely note the change fromday to day.

New Mail Sehedule.
Tuesday morning a new mail sched-
ule went into effect at our home post-
office. The mails under the new sched-
ule arrive and depart as follows: 9:00
a.m. 1:30 p. m, and 6 p.m. The new
arrangement gives three in-coming
and three out-going mails per day, ex-
clusive of the mails over the Grants-
ville and Jennings routes.
Mail Contractor C. W. Stotler, whose
hack and mail business between Salis-
bury and Meyersdale was rendered
unprofitable by the P. & M. trolley line,
has been released from his contract by
the P.O.department, which has made a
contract with the trolley company for
carrying the mails. The new arrange-
ment is very much better than the old,
and as Boynton now has its own mail
pouches, trolley traffic is no longer de-
tained at that place during the distri-
bution of mails.
A WOMAN TELLS HOW TO RE-
LIEVE RHEUMATIC PAINS.
I have been a very great sufferer
from the dreadful disease,rheumatism,
for a number of years. I have tried
many medicines, but never got much
relief from any of them until two years
ago, when I bought a bottle of Cham-
berlain’s Pain Balm. I found relief be-
fore I had used all of one bottle, but
kept on applying it, and soon felt like a
different woman. Through my advice
m ny of my friends have tried it and
can tell you how wonderfully it has
worked.—MRgs. Saran A. CoLE, 140 8.
New St., Dover, Del. Chamberlain’s
Pain Balm is a liniment. The relief
from pain which it affords is alone
worth many times its cost. It makes
rest and sleep possible. For sale at

Death of Samuel Koontz.
The subject of this sketch, a former
w-Il known citizen of Salisbury, died
very suddenly at his home in Braddock,
P.., Wednesday morning of last week,
He had been in poor health for a year
or more, but his death was not looked
for so suddenly. He arose from his
bed about 3 o'clock, ‘but suddenly fell
to the floor and expired in a few min-
utes. Death is supposed to have been
caused by paralysis and an internal
hemorrhage.
Deceased was born in Somerset
county, Nov. 1st, 1850, and for nearly
30 years followed the wagon-making
trade in Salisbury. About seven years
ago Mr. Koontz and family moved to
Braddock, where the family still re-
sides. Deceased is survived by his wife
and the following named children:
‘Mrs. M. €. Kannand Mrs, David Haas,
of Braddock ; Mrs. W. B. Stevanus, of
Salisbury, and Milton, Allen, Della and
Florence at home.
Henry D. Koontz. a brother of
Samuel, also passed away within the
past few weeks, at his home in Mt.
Pleasant, Pa. He, too, was a resident
ot Salisbury, some years ago, and like
his brother, was well and favorably
known here. Both of the brothers
were members of the Reformed church,
and both were honest and upright citi-
zens. It is with much sorrow that
their many friends in Salisbury and
vicinity learn of their death.

AN OPEN LETTER.
To the Directors, Teachers and Pa-
trons of the Public Schools of
Somerset County:
sonal letters have been sent out and
advertisements inserted in the papers
by F. A. Harah, candidate for Clerk of
Courts, carrying as a reference the
name of County Superintendent of
Schools D. W. Seibert. Is it fitting
that the office of the head of the schools
be prostituted into a reference bureau
for a political candidate? Mr. Harah
was considered a dangerous rival of
Mr. Seibert for the County Superin-
tendency, this spring, which makes the
above scheme plain. Ts not one kind
of a “slate” as bad as another, and will
the voters tolerate it? The slogan of
this campaign is: “An Open Field for
All and No Slate.”
1t Jonx E. Lenox.
To The Voters of Somerset County.

thorough canvass of the county, be-
cause of my inability to get a substi-
tute to take mys place in the school-
