A Little Printer’s Makes Millions Think-—Think— Think! | . nk n f Moré truth than poet- ry. A little Printer’s Ink prints a little advertise ment in a little “maga- zine” that circulates at a little price and goes inte a million little homes, chiefly in the little cities and towns and country places. The millions of people in these homes are caused by the Printer’s Ink to think that they can get big bargains for . their money by sending it away by mail, order- ing the things advertised Printer’s Ink. these same things. by the little pinch of pags Sometimes when they receive the stuff they order by mail they have another Think coming. They think, “What . fools we mortals be,” and apply the Think to themselves. And sometimes some of them think something like this: “Wonder why Mister Man, our local dealer in many things we need, doesn't advertise these things in our local paper? Maybe If he did we wouldn’t be tempted to send to the big city for If we were sure we could buy them at home for about the same price and have a chance to see the goods before taking, we think we’d prefer to buy them at home.” Now, Mister Man, what do you think—think—think? CONCLUSION: THERE'S PLENTY OF PRINTER'S INK IN THIS NEWSPAPER SHOP. Havoe Among Chickens. Tuesday night a raccoon got into Dr. 20 of 21 chickens. which won for John Yungerman the first prize at the Cumberland poultry show, last year. known to be a raceocn by his tracks in the snow.—Frostburg Mining Journal We have often heard of a plain, ordi- nary “coon” Committing even greater, havoc at a chieken roost in a single night than that related above, but it.is seldom that a raccoon gets away with 20 chickens in one night. A Store That Is Not Worth Adver- tising. A writer with a gift for phrasing once wrote: “If your store is not worth ad- vertising, advertise it for sale.” His phrase runs trippingly, but his logic halts. To sell a store that is “not worth ad- vertising” would be to defraud the buyer—so that the advice is ethically unsound. Of course there are not many stores that are not worth adyertising—in this town perhaps none at all. The fact is that no store ever gets to be worth very much—beyond the mere open market value of stock and fixtures— until it has been adequately advertis- ed. Until then it has exerted no in- fluence ag an organization, equipped for useful service to the people. It has simply been a place where certain things were kept for sale. After it has had the breath of life put into it by advertising, it becomes a store, in the militant sense—intent up- of growth.

Miller, Prop. 2-1 State Railroad Commission Decides Against the P. W. & S. R. R. Harrisburg, Jan. 25.—In a decision rendered, the State Railroad Commis- sion finds that the various short line railroads that have been charging more than three cents a mile passenger fare on through tickets and 35 cents on local traffic. have been violating the act of 1849. ea The decision is in the case of the Pittsburg, Westmoreland & Somerset Railroad, of which State Senator J. Henry Cochran, of Williamsport, is President. It operates a 25-mile line between Ligonier and Somerset, and contends that it is strictly a freight road and cannot carry passengers even at seven cents a mile without losing money. The Commission sustains the com- plaint of G. T. Matthews, of Rector, Somerset county. against the company. —— A HORRIBLE HOLD-UP. “About ten years ago my brother was “held up” in his work, health and hap- piness by what was believed to be hope- less Consumption,” writes W.

The first gas explosion that ever took place in a Somerset county mine, oc- curred at Boswell, Monday Aegon: the 25th inst., in the mines of the Uni- ted Coal Company, successors to the Merchants Coal Company. Reports of the dead and injured dif- fer somewhat, but the latest and best authenticated report received here places the number of dead at five, and the injured and missing at thirteen. Those reported to be dead are Super- intendent J. C. Logan, Assistant Super- intendent Geo. Morris, Pitt Boss John Cole and two German miners. Those injured or missing are reported to be foreign miners, principally Italians. - The force of the explosion has badly wrecked portions of the workings, and it will be some time before the mine can be restored to its normal condition. There were, in fact, three distinct ex- plosions, the first occuring at about 2 o'clock, the second at 4:30, and the last and most disastrous at about 8 o’clock. The first and second explosions wete not so severe, but yet severe enough to cause much alarm and to cause an im- mediate investigation to be made, with a view to discovering the cause and averting further damage and danger. The Superintendent would not allow the large force of men employed on the night shift to go to work until the mine was investigated and rendered safe. Thus were many lives saved, while some of the men making the investiga- tion lost their lives.

The above words were recently ut- tered in our hearing by a young man, and undoubtedly they are often reiter- ated by many who are out of employ- ment, or have little or nothing to do. To all such we say, you have home cap- ital, you have hands, feet, bone, mus- cle, health, and are not these capital? What more capital has God given any- body? “But if I only had a few thou- sands in cash capital,” says the young man. But these are better than cash capital, for no one can take them from you, and with these you can earn cash Our men of wealth and influence did not start with any cash capital. They went to work with the plow, the hoe, the jack plane or axe, and in time their capital brought them a rich harv st. Ah! but there’s the rub; you don’t want to work. You want money on credit, so you can play the gentleman, speculate and end your career by play- ing vagabond. You want to marry a rich girl who will support you, while you wear fine clothes, smoke cigars and be a gentleman of leisure. Shame on you, young man! Go to work with the capital you have, and you will soon make interest enough upon it to give you as much money as you need. If you cannot make money upon what capital you have, you could not if you had a larger amount in cash. If you waste your present capital, you would waste money if you had it. So don’t stand around, a helpless fellow, waiting for something to turn up, but go to work. Take the first work you can get to do, and do it well. Always do your best, and if you manage your capital that God has given you, well, you will soon have more to manage.— Ex.

BorouGH NOMINATIONS—REPUBLICAN. Burgess, Jer. J. Livengood. Judge of Election, Roscoe Welfley. Inspector, Alfred Ringler. School Directors, L. C. Boyer, 8S. O. Newman. Town Council, Geo. M. Lowry. Street Commissioner, Henry Smear- man. “Tax Collector, M. J. Glotfelty. Auditor, E. H. Miller. At the Republican borough primary, 110 votes were polled. The candidates for Judge, Inspector, Tax Collector and Auditor had no opposition, and as a consequence there was no contest for nomi-ation for those offices. The other nominees all had opposition, but very few of the candidates seemed to care whether they were nominated or not. The contest was a good-natured one, and the nomination was fairly con- ducted. However, as was to be ex- pected, a certain long, lanky, slobber- mouthed Democratic bar-room senator was quite busy all day long butting into the affairs of the Republican party, and as soon as the vote was counted out, he gleefully announced in the Elk Lick Supply Company’s store, in the presence of the editor and others, that his candidate for School Director (S. O. Newman) had polled the highest vote. If a Democrat, es- pecially a Democratic bar-room sena- tor, has a right to set up a candidate at a Republican primary, we believe that the Republicans ought to know it. Robt. H. Johnston, BoroucH NOMINATIONS—DEMOCRATIC. Burgess, Geo. C. Hay. Judge of Election, T. Glotfelty. Inspector, P. M. Wahl. School Directors, Dr. E. C. Saylor, M. R. McDonnell. Town Council, Luther Anderson, C. T. Hay. Street Commissioner, Alfred Wagner. Tax Collector, M. J. Glotfelty. Auditor, Ira Hay. Both Republican and Democratic borough ticket are as good as can gen- erally be nominated in a town of this gize. There is room, of course, for im- provement on each, but the trouble is, the most competent citizens cannot always be induced to run for public of- fice, and in many cases it’s not a case of whom the people want to serve them, but a case of who is willing to serve the people or fill the offices.

All Distress from ‘Stomach and In- digestion Vanishes in Five Minutes. Take your sour stomach—or may be ‘you call it Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Gas- tritis or Catarrh of Stomach ; it doesi¥’t matter—take your stomach trouble right with you to your Pharmaeist arid ask him to open a 50-cent case of Pape’s Diapepsin and let you -eat one 22-grain Triangule and see if within five minutes there is left any trace of your stomach misery. The correct name for your ‘trouble ie Food Fermentation—food souring; the Digestive organs become weak, these is lack of gastric juice; your food ‘is only half digested, and you become a¥- fected with loss of appetite, pressure and fullness after eating, vomiting, nausea, heartburn, griping in bowels, tenderness in the pit of stomach, bad taste in mouth, constipation, pain in limbs, sleeplessness, belching of gas, biliousness, sick headache, nervous- ness, dizziness and many other similar symptoms. ing tempts you, or you beleh gas, or if you feel bloated after eating, or your food lies like a lump of lead on your stomach, you can make up your mind that at the bottom of all this there ie but one cause—fermentation of undi- gested food.

Stop that fermentation and begin eating what you want without fear of discomfort or misery. Almost instant relief is waiting for you. It is merely a matter of how soon you take a little Diapepsin. Salaries Taken from Two U. M. W. of A. Lobsters. Editor J. J. Robinson recently sent the following interesting communi- cation from Meyersdale to his news- paper, the Lonaconing, (Md.) Star: “Messrs. Drum, Ford and McGinn, of the United Mine Workers, were here last week visiting the several localities. They were jubilant at the prospect of the defeat of National President T. L. Lewis and the election of Walker, but they left town when the word came from Indianapolis that Lewis is re-elected. It seems that Messrs. Drum and Ford, who are Dis- trict officers, have not been receiving any salary the past year. The mem- bership of District No.16 is so smal that they can’t pay salaries, but when John Mitchell was National President he fixed it so the salaries were paif out of the National funds. When Lewis succeeded Mitchell, he stopped this, claiming thatthe money paid into the National treasury by the miners from other regions ought nof to be spent in paying salaries of officers in regions and districts that cannot support themselves, and im this view he was upheld, and the salaries of Mr. Drum and Mr. Ford stopped. Now, if Walker hat been elected over Lewis, this would have been changed, and the salaries would have come on again out of the National treasury. Hence their jubilation when they thought Walker was elected, and hence their dejection when the report came that Lewis will be in again for another year. The only two who awe sure of their salaries are Johnny Me- Ginn, Natianal Board Member, arn@ Jimmie Wilson, National Organizer, who receives $4.50 a day and expensas from the National body.” Things have come to a pretty pass when two jawsmiths of the Drum and Ford stripe expect salaries for acting as generals without armies. The facet is they have neither followers nor saf- ficent executive ability to properly handle followers if they had them. They are mere parasites looking fers soft snap at the expense of those whe earn their bread by the sweat of their brows. OLD PAPERS for sale at THE Star office.
