D. Compton and Wife Win Famous
Damage Suit.
Mr. and Mrs. D. Compton, well-
known residents of Elk Lick township,
were victorious in a damage suit tried
in Somerset, last week. The defendant
in the case was Lee F. Hoffman, a
well-known automobilist, of Meyers-
dale.
The suit grew out of an accident
that happened during the summer of
1906, when Mr. and Mrs. Compton
drove to Meyersdale in a puggy, where
their horse took fright ‘at Mr. Hoff-
man’s automobile and ran away, throw-
ing them out of the buggy and injuring
both of them quite severely.
The plaintiffs aver that the accident
could have easily been avoided if Mr.
Hoffman had taken such precautions
as the law requires of automobile
drivers under the circumstances of the
case, while Mr. Hoffman, of course,
tells quite a different story, and claims
he was in no way to blame for the ac-
cident. Both parties to the suit had
witnesses to corroborate their evidence,
but the jury evidently thought that
Mr. and Mrs. Compton put up the best
evidence, and awarded indemnity to
them in the sum of $1,072. Mr. Hoff-
man informs THE Star that he will ap-!
peal the case to a higher court.
Tue Star knows nothing about the
facts in the case, but the outcome of
the suit should put autoists on their
guard, and cause them to exercise ex-
treme care to avoid accidents and in-
jury to pedestrians and those driving
horses. On the other hand, pedes-
trians and the drivers of horses should
also be careful and cautious, We
have'often seen pedestrians and driv-
ers of horses take chances that they
had no business to take, and there
are fully as many road hogs among
horse drivers as among automobile
drivers. Some teamsters act as though
automobiles and bicycles had po right
on the public highways, and there are
many autoists who seem to take devil-
ish delight in frightening horses.
These remarks do not apply to either
Mr. Compton or to Mr. Hoffman, at
least not that-we are personally aware
of, for we have always taken both of
them to be gentlemen having proper
regard for the safety of others. But
there are many persons to whom the
term “road hog” fittingly applies.
The accident and damage suit to
which this article applies, are both
matters to be deplored, and whether
Mr. Hoffman was justly the loser or
not, we do dot believe that he purpose-
ly caused the accident or that he be-
lieved at the time he was going to
cause an accident. Of eourse, the ab-
sence of wrong intentions on his part
does not exempt him from damages.
The only question is, Did he use due
care to avoid the accident? The jury
has said that he did not. What a high-
er court will say about it remains to
be seen.
A RELIGIOUS AUTHOR’S STATE-
MENT.
For several years I was afflicted with
kidney trouble, and last winter T was
suddenly striken with a severe pain in
my kidneys and was confined to bed
eight days, unable to get up without
assistance. My urine contained a thick
white sediment, and [ passed same fre-
quently day and night. I commenced
taking Foley’s Kidney Remedy, and
the pain gradually abated and finally
ceased, and my urine became normal.

Advice of Noted Authority, Also
Gives a Simple Prescription.
Now is the time when the doctor gets
busy, and thd patent medicine manu-
facturers reap the harvest, unless great
care is taken to dress warmly and keep
the feet dry. This is the advice of an
old eminent authority, who says that
Rheumatism and Kidney trouble
weather is here, and also tells what to
do in case of an attack.
Get from any good prescription phar-
macy one-half ounce Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one ounce Compound Kar-

tle and take a teaspoonful after meals
and at bedtime,
Just try this simple home-made mix-

the kidneys are not acting just right.
This is said to be a splendid kidney
regulator, and almost certain remedy
for all forms of Rheumatism, which is
caused by uric acid in the blood, which
the kidneys fail to filter out. Any one
can easily prepare this at home and at
small cost.

Rumored Attempt to Organize
2 Miners.
Francis J. Dram, of Vale Summit,
Md., was recently looking up something
in this-eoal region, and rumor has it
that he came here with a view to or-
ganizing the miners. Mr. Drum is
District President of the United Mine
Workers of America, and his district
(No. 16) comprises the Georges Creek
mining region, in Maryland, and some
of the coal fields in this county.
The United Mine Workers, as an
organization in this region, lost its
grip daring the long and bitter strike
of several years ago, and all of Drum’s
horses, asses and men can never pull
the old thing together again. The
organization went to pieces in this
region through its own rottenness and
arrogance, and it’s down and out for all
time, so far as this region is concerned.
In the Georges Creek mining region,
where the condition of the miner is as
good or better than in any other coal
region in the United States, labor or-
ganizations never could get much of a
footing, but the U. M. W. of A. always
has officers there, or in other words,
generals without an ‘army. The officers
are usually cheap jawsmiths with lots
of wind and little sense, and they gen-
erally try to make a catspaw of the
Elk Lick region for their own personal
gain and the improvement of the coal
trade in the Georges Creek region at
the expense of and detriment to this
region.
If the miners of this region are wice,
they will drum such fellows as Francis
J. Drum out of the region, if he comes
among them for the purpose of organi-
zation. What the miners of this region
need is more coal to dig and more
mines to dig it in, and none of these
essentials can be supplied by the walk-
ing delegates and jawsmiths of the
Georges Creek region, who have always
practically been without a following at
home. ;

Rush for Coal Land.
There is a decided boom in the In-
din Creek coal fields, recently, says the
Connellsville Courier, and the field has
been infested with agents representing
large corporations, who have been
seeking to secure options on various
tracts along the Indian Creek Valley
Railroad.
The boom in this business was largely
brought on by the activity of the Zim-
merman interests. It is known that
D. B. Zimmerman, of Somerset, has the
largest holdings along the line, and it
was recently learned that he made sue-
cessful coking tests at Leisenring No. 1,
with his coal. While slightly high in
sulphur, it was found that the Indian
Creek Coal made an excellent grade of
coke, and this started the heavy buy-
ing and opsioning of lands.
The Stauffers hold immense tracts
of the land along the railroad, but
Zimmerman also has taken up tracts
that extend beyond the present ter-
minus of the road. The contemplated
extension of the road to Bolivar, 32
miles from its present terminus, makes
their holdings greater than that of the
Stauffer’s along the present route.
Zimmerman quickly realized the im-
portance of the little Indian Creek
Valley, and purchased the lands to-
wards the Ligonier Valley. A result is
that all those interested believe that
he has the largest holdings. There
are many tracts of the coal, though,
that have been unbought.

Pigs’ Blood as Medieine.
Pigs’ blood medically prepared is of
the highest value in the cure of incip-.
ient tuberculosis, according to the an-
nouncement of Dr. Daniel E. Ricardo,
of Chicago. Dr. Ricardo says he arriv-
ed at the same conclusion as Dr. R. C.
Rosenberger, of Philadelphia, that ta-
berculosis first manifested itself in the
blood of the patient.
“I have found pigs’ blood to be of
the highest valve in tuberculosis
cases,” declares the physician. “The
reason for that is that pigs’ blood con-
tains more hemoglobin than cows?
blood. Swine are fed better than cat-
tle, and there is a heavy strain on the
cows from being milked.” ._
The aforesaid doctor is no doubt =
very smart man, but it’s a wonder that
he hasn’t also discovered that the
cows’ milk, too, is usually subjected to
a strain before being used, and for thak
reasen too weak to stuff consumptives
with. Great are some of these new
fangled medical discoveries, which take
the form of a public craze and flourish
until superseded by some other al-
leged discovery.
A $45,000.00 Colt.
P. C. Isaacs, who recently moved
trom Stoystown, this county, to JTohns--
town, Pa., has sold his famous pacing;
co't, Minor Heir, to W. Savage, of
Minneapolis, for $45,000.
Minor Heir was a green pacer of last
year, and under the guidance of Chas.
Dean put up & mark of 1:59 before
the season was closed. By the deak
Mr. Savage now has in his possessiom
the two greatest pacers of the age—
Dan Patch and Minor Heir. The pair
are the only two horses on any one
farm with marks under two minutes.
‘It also gives Mr. Savage probably the
greatest breeding farm in the country,
with Dan Patch, Minor Heir, Directumnr,
Arion and Roy Wilks, says an ex-
change.
Good Company for 1909.
You are careful what choice off
friends the young people of your house-
hold make. You do not open wide the
door to those whose speech and be-
havior betray ill-breeding and lax
morals. Are you as careful to shut ix
against books and periodicals that pre-
sent vulgar and demoralizing pictures
of life and its purpose? Perhaps you
are among those who have found thag
same place in the family reading that {
the high-minded young man or womam
holds among your associates. The
Companion is good without being
“goody-goody.” It is entertaining, it is
informing. In its stories it depicts
life truly, but it chooses those phases
of life in which duty, honor, loyalty
are the guiding motives. -
