ELK LICK POSTOFFICE, PA. THURSDAY, APRIL 30. 1908. . NO. 16. Now it is said “Japan wants to fight Great Britain.” It is a mighty good thing for Japan that it doesn’t get all the things it is alleged to want. A DerroIT man was tried for murder and acquitted, although he confessed his crime. His reputation for veracity must be about the worst on record. Poritics may be a game of chance, but this year Mr. Bryan will find it hard to convince the rank and file of his party that he has a chance to win. CHINA is just beginning to use but- ter. In time we may be able to intro- duce the Chinese to breakfast cereals, cold-storage eggs, and other substitutes for food. GOVERNOR Jouxson, of Minnesota, is -beginning tocat'tip like a- man who thinks nobody else ought to be a can- didate. This is an infringement of Mr. Bryans prerogatives. THE convicted Pennsylvania capitol grafters have given 2756 reasons why they should have a new trial. “Their aversion to spending a few years at actual work would have made 276. Ar present Mr. Thomas E. Watson and Mr. Bryan are even on Presiden- tial nominations. When the Demo- cratic convention gets together, how- ever, doubtless Mr. Bryan will forge to his old place of one lap ahead. CoNsIDERABLE speculation is being indulged in as to what Thomas Jeffer- son would do if he were back here. He would doubtless listen to the dis- cussion for a short while, and then yearn for the quiet of his tomb again. AND now the news is given out that Wm. D. Haywood has been dropped down and out by the Western Federa- tion of Miners. Many people are of the opinion that he should have been drop- ped down and out from the end of a hangman’s rope, long ago. His utter- ances since his acquittal of participa- tion in the murder of Ex-Governor Stunenberg, of Idaho, have pretty gen- erally convinced the public that the gallows was cheated when he was ac- quitted. : Tue fellows who squandered all theis money on booze and poker dur- ing the past eight or nine years of un- precedented prosperity, are now “up against it” good and hard since work is slack. The saloon-keepers, who got most of their hard-earned coin, respect them the least, and haven’t got even snow-water for their poor dupes and their families, much less sympathy and Experience is a dear school, but fools will learn in no other, and too frequently they will not even learn in the school of experience. Tue Connellsville Courier says: “When the theatres won’t stand for the feminine headgear known as the Merry Widow Sailor, neither school en- tertainments nor churches should per- mit them.” Right you are, brother, and the Merry Widow hat isn’t the only hideous millinery credtion that should not be permitted te be worn in church. In fact there is no more rea- son why women should sit in an audi- ence without removing their hats than that men. should. Preachers spend © much time in crying down theaters, but they would do well to require their audiences to observe some of the sen- sible rules in vogue in all well regulat- ed theaters. Women obstructing the view of others by wearing hats large and hideous enough to frighten a team of mules, is something that should nof be permitted in any sheltered audi- ence, and all ministers should kindly . request the ladies to remove their hats before the preaching begins. A ser- mon is not appreciated when one &an- not see the speaker who. is deliv- ering it, and if the preachers would require the female portion of the con- gregations to remove their usually out- landish and silly headgear, fewer light-headed women attending church might be one result, but another result would be a better attendance of better and more comprehensive people. CURED OF RHEUMATISM. Mr. Wm. Henry, of Chattanooga, Tenn., had rheumatism in his left arm, “The strength seemed to have gone out of the muscles so that it was useless for work,” he says. “I applied Cham- berlain’s Pain Balm and wrapped the arm in flannel at night, and to my re- lief I found that the pain gradually left me, and the strength returned. In three weeks the rheumatism had dis- appeared, and has not sinee returned.” If troubled with rheumatism, try a few applications of Pain Balm. You are certain to be pleased with the relief which it affords. For sale at Miller's drug store, 5-1 J. A. BERKEY A DEAD ONE. Hon. J. A. Berkey, our worthy and afficient State Banking Commissioner is a dead one. At least so says the Somerset Herald, the great sour grape authority of Somerset county. But the Herald should never be taken serious- ly, and the fact that Mr. Berkey was again elected a member of the State Republican committee, at the Ftate convention, yesterday, is all the evi- dence needed to prove that Mr. Berkey is still the recognized Republican lead- er of Somerset county. The Repub- lican State organization does not re- tain “dead ones” on the committee, as one of the editors of the Herald found out to his sorrow, some years ago. As time drags along during the next few years, the Herald will be given to realize from time to time that J. A. Berkey is the liveliest: political Gorpse that ever was. The last political battle was in no way a factional affair, but it would have been if Geo. R. Scull would have dared to announce for delegate to the Republican National convention. He was known to have a. very pro- nounced ambition to become a dele- gate, and when Mr. Berkey announced as a candidate for delegate,it was done as a challenge to Scull to announce also, so that the people would "have a chance to choose between them. Mr. Scull, however, was afraid to measure strength with Berkey, and so Mr. Ber- key finally withdrew from the race. The Herald people would give a good deal to be as far from being politically dead as is Hon. J. A. Berkey. The State convention has also honor- ed S. A. Kendall by appointing him an alternate delegate at large to the Na- tional Republican convention. 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 many of my friends have tried it and can tell you how wonderfully it has worked.—MRgs. Saran A. CoLg, 140 8S. New. 8t.,, 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 Miller’s drug store. 5-1 Mails Closed to Anarchist Sheet. The Postoffice department has en- tered an order closing the mails to an anarchist publication known as La Question Sociale, published in Patter- son, N. J. The Second-class mailing privilege of the paper was revoked upon the grounds that this periodical was not a newspaper in the generally accepted sense of the word, and that any murder or assassination occurring from the dissemination of such a sheet would make the Postoffice department accessory thereto. It is the purpose of the department to proceed against other publications of similar character. The lotteries were put out of business by the vigilance of the Postoffice de- partment, and we believe that this is the beginning of the end of the An- archistic movement as well. The Postoffice department could do this country and the human race in general a good service by ridding the mails of that foul-smelling, murder and incendiary promoting sheet known as Appeal to Reason, published at Girard, Kan. The Kansas publication is not an appeal to reason, but an appeal to treason and all that is vicious, low and mean in men. It is an apologist and condoner of high crime committed in the name of labor, and its influence upon society is far more blighting than all the yellow dime novels extant. It should be suppressed, and suppressed at once. ~~ PENSIONS GRANTED. Congressman Cooper Makes An- nouncement for Nearby Towns. Congressman Allen F. Cooper has been notified that the following pen- sions have been granted: James I. Groover, Chalk Hill, $12; David G. Morris, Smock, $15; Peter J. Livengood, Elk Lick, $12; Anthony Flickinger, Somerset, $24 ; Margaret R. Warman, widow of John Warman, of Uniontown, accrued pension and widow’s pension at $8, from September 20, 1907. Mary McCune, widow of Thomas McCune, Vanderbilt, accrued OLD-HOME WEEK. The Time Now Ripe for a Salisbury Old-Home Week—Co-operation Offered and More Wanted. Old-Home week has got to be a very popular fad in many towns and cities throughout the United States, and the time is now ripe for Salisbury and Elk Lick to arrange for an Old- Home week. The editor of THe Star has long been thinking of an affair of tion of our street railway before taking any steps to bring such a thing about. Now that the electric road is, com- pleted and in active operation, we trust that our citizens will join us in ar- ranging for an Old-Home week to be celebrated some time in September, and the time to go to work on the ar- rangements is right now. One prominent and eloquent son of old Elk Lick has already offered to co- operate in an Old-Home week for Salis- bury and Elk Lick. We. refer to Dr. Americus Enfield, of Bedford, who is an orator of fine ability, and who has on numerous occasions delivered ad- dresses that have been put in print and are well worthy to be handed down to posterity for the lofty thoughts and deeds that are usually inspired by such masterful and thoughtful orations. And Dr. Enfield is not the only prominent man who has gone forth from old Elk Lick, who would be glad to participate in a Salisbury and Elk Lick Old-Home week. We could name them by the dozen and by the score— men prominent in all walks of life, who would flock here from nearly every state in the Union to participate in such an event and view once more the dear old scenes and haunts of their youth. What pleasure it would be to them to mingle together once more on the dear old native heath, and for a brief period to live over again those Eden hours when life was young, when the golden age of happy boyhood and girlhood was upon them! What pleas- ure to roam again the shady nooks and flowery dells of dear old Elk Lick! And what amazement would be theirs at some of the changes wrought by old Father Time during the years of their absence! Let us give the sturdy sons of old Salisbury and Elk Lick an opportunity for a glad and glorious reunion, and let us begin arranging for it without delay. Nothing else would be so ap- propriate, nothing else so welcome to the grand army of noble men and noble women distributed throughout the various states by good old Salisbury and Elk Lick. Most of the absent sons and daughters have prospered in the various localities to which they have drifted, and most of them are the kings and queens of happy homes. But with all the prominence and prosperity they have achieved abroad, many times and oft there comes to them a call to re- turn home. In their slumbers at night and their dreams by day they hear again and again the babbling of our crystal mountain brooks, the singing of the old Casselman on its way to the sea, the lowing of the herds upon =a thousand hills, the voice of the wind through the swaying branches of the pines, the woodland notes of many a bird, and in the voices of them all they hear the words, “Come home!” In the eyes of their minds they often see the bloom of the laurel and the hawthorn, as well as the burning wood of the old-home hearth and the pictures to be seen therein. And from afar they smell the invigorating odor of the pines and the sweet scent of the fra- grant apple bloom and the wild honey- suckle. They often awake from their reveries, and in the language of James Witecomb Riley, the Hooser poet, ex- claim— "Mongst the hills o’ Somerset, Wish’t I wus livin’ yet. Will they return and participate in an Old-Home week if we arrange for it and send them an invitation? Yes, they will, and in goodly numbers, too. Dr. Enfield, in writing of the Bedford Old-Home week, says: “Ours was a great success.” He then adds that he would be pleased to address the sons and daughters of old Salisbury and Elk Lick who have emigrated to other states, but who would no doubt be on hand to participate in Old-Home week. We are now ready to hear from others on this topic, both from our fel- low citizens at home and the sons and daughters of this locality who have emigrated to other states. ge PLENTY OF TROUBLE is caused by stagnation of the liver and bowels.

Many women mistake kidney and bladder troubles for some irregularity peculiar to the sex. Foley’s Kidney Remedy corrects irregularitiesy and makes women well. Miss Carrie Har- den, Bowling Green, Ky., writes:. “I suffered much pain from kidney and bladder trouble until I started to use Foley’s Kidney Remedy. The first bot- tle gave me great relief, and after tak- ing the second bottle I was entirely well.” Elk Lick Pharmacy, E. H. Mil- ler, proprietor. 5-1 ell High School Alumni Banquet.

Ice Cream. Cake. Great Doings of the I. 0. 0. F.—Jas- per Augustine Making Great Im- provements—Man Dies While En- route to Hospital—Arrival of Twins in Addison Household— Other Items of Interest. April 28th.—Last Sunday Elder H. S. MeClintock, of Garrett, preached an able discourse for Addison Lodge No. 444, 1.0.0. F., and the Rebeceas, in the Addison M. E, church. The house was well filled, and everybody was well pleased. After the services at the church, many went to the Odd Fel- lows’ hall, where some more able ad- dresses were made in behalf of the order. Jasper Augustine and wife, of Union- town, were at Addison a few days last week, looking after things on their farm. They are getting ready for the summer season, which they expect to spend on the farm. Mr. Augustine is | having a fine stable | Mitchell farm, and will be one of the finest stables in | county. He is also going to uses, stables and the h na “1 h barns on both of his farms repainted, and the fences wite-washed. We need more citizens like Mr. Augustine. Dr. Louderbaugh, of this place, was taking Frank Bowser, of Cove, Md., to Cumberland. recently, to be treated for appendicitis, but the patient died before reaching that city. The body was brought back to his home and in- terred in one of the Cove cemeteries. Mr. Bowser’s wife died last fall. Sev- eral small children survive. D. A. Griffith and family, who moved to this place from Uniontown, last spring, went back to their old home te visit friends and attend revival services now in progress in .a new Christian church edifice that seats about 2,000 people. They have some excellent evangelists and singers at the revival, and many who attend cannot find seats, in spite of the large seating ca- pacity. Twins, a boy and a girl, arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Jef- freys, last Saturday night. Mr. Jet- frery is our hustling butcher, and he ought now to treat each of his cus- tomers to a fine, juicy steak or roast. Last Sunday Floyd Swotty and wife, of Unamis, came to Addison to visit the wife's parents and to attend the I. O. O. F. service in the M. E. church. The lady gave birth to a child while here, which died on Monday and was in- terred in the new Addison cemetery, Tuesday. This is the second child these parents have lost during the last _ year, and much sympathy is felt for them. Mr. Nelson A. Wright, the contractor for the large stable Jasper Augustine is erecting, is on the sick list. Mrs. Captain Inskeep is very sick. Her recovery is regarded as extremely doubtful.

Lay the jest about the julep in the camphor balls at last, For the miracle has happened and the olden days are past; That which makes Milwaukee famous doesn’t. foam in Tennessee, And the lid in old Missouri is as tight locked as can be; Oh, the comic paper Colonel and hie cronies well may sigh, For the mint is waving gayly, and the South is going dry. By the stillside on the hillside in Ken- tuck all is still, For the only damp refreshment must be dipped up from the rill; No’th Ca’lina’s stately ruler gives his . soda glass a shove, And discusses local option with the South Ca’lina Gov.; It is useless at the fountain to be wink- ful of the eye, For the cocktail glass is dusty and the South is going dry. —Washington Post. HE GOT WHAT HE NEEDED. “Nine years ago it looked as if my time had come,” says Mr. C. Farthing, of Mill Creek, Ind. Ter. “I was so rum down that life hung on a very slender thread. It was then my druggist rec- ommended Electric Bitters. I bought a bottle and I got what I needed— strength.
