Numerous rumors are affloat con-
cerning new coal developments which
are likely to be made in this vicinity
during the coming summer. It is said
upon pretty good authority that a rail-
road is to be built up Pine Run, where
it is claimed a new coal field is about to
be opened. Well, the coal is there, lots
of it and of fine quality, and the de-
velopment of the Pine Run field will be
a great help to Salisbury.
The Elk Lick Supply Company bas
decided to close out its large stock of
merchandise in Salisbury and quit
business. There are several rumors
affloat as to the sale of. the building and
the future occupancy of the same, but
just how much truth is 1n the rumors
we cannot say. The store is one of the
finest in Somerset county, and it will
be closed about April 1st, so far as the
Elk Lick Supply Company is concerned.

The mining village of Niverion, 815
miles southwest of Salisbury, is now
off the map. The mines at that place
have been completely worked out for a
year or more, and daring the past six
or eight weeks the Mankamegyer broth-
ers, of Meyersdale, have been bu-y
pulling down twenty-seven dwellings,
a store, tipple, etc., at that place, and
shipping the lumber to Maecdonaldton,
where the Niver Company will again
make use of it. eed SENi
Noah Broadwater, a - prominent citi-
zen and merchant of Grantsville, Md.,
died in a Pittsburg hospital, Monday
last, in the 57th year of hisjage. With-
in the past few. years Mr. Broadwater’s
wife died suddenly, and his brother, J.
S. Broadwater, a retired merchant,
committed suicide. The two calama-
ties preyed heavily upon Noah’s mind,
causing him to drink heavily, and his
last illness is largely attributed to
drink. He is survived by several chil-
dren. “Fhe funeral takes place today.
This is just the time of year when
you are most likely to have kidney or
bladder trouble, with rheumatism and
rheumatic pains caused by weak kid-
neys. Delays are dangerous. Get De-
Witt’s Kidney and Bladder Pills, and
be sure you get what you ask for. They
are the best pills made for backache,
weak back, urinary disorders, inflam-
mation of the bladder, etc. They are
antiseptic and act promptly. We sell
and recommend them. E, H. Miller.

Congressman Cooper has introduced
a bill which provides for the appropri-
ation of 25,000 for a fish culture station
at a place in Pennsylvania to be desig-
nated by the Secretary of Commerce
and Labor. Mr. Cooper hopes to have
the station located somewhere in this
Congressional district, and favors a
point near the headwaters of the
“Yough” river. It is proposed to re-
stock all the mountain streams in this
district with trout, and the larger
streams with bass.
A mine at Holsopple, operated by the
Haws Coal Company, caught fire re-
cently, and mining operations have
since been suspended, while men were
put to work at quenching the flames.
The origin of the fire ie unknown, but
is believed to have been caused by a
lighted mining lamp coming in contact
with some old clothes hanging on the
walls at the bottom of the shaft.
While workmen were fighting the
flames, a ecave-in occurred, which
caught the superintendent, W. D. Mec-
Causland, of Johnstown, and painfully
injured him.
C. R. Kluger, the Jeweler, 1080 Vir-
ginia Ave., Indianapolis, Ind., writes:
“1 was so weak from kidney trouble
that I could hardly walk a hundred
feet. Four bottles of Foley's Kidney
Remedy cleared my complexion, cured
my backache and the irregularities
disappeared, and I can now attend to
business every day, and recommend
Foley’s Kidney Remedy to all sufferers,
as it cared me after the doctors and
other remedies had failed.” Elk Lick
Pharmacy, E. H. Miller, Prop. 3-1°
Three from the Berlin Record.
Eggs are becoming more plentifuljon
the market, and some of them are bad
eggs at that. One lady remarked that
she got seven bad ones out ‘of a half-
dozen she purchased. That’s going to
the bad some, don’t it?
Dandelion in January is a rarity, but
Miss Mae Landis and her mother, Mrs.
Emma Landis, of East Main street,
this borough, on Monday enjoyed a
mess of these palatable greens picked
from their garden, which they claim
was nice and tender, and of a delicious
flavor.
On Tuesday Mr. Frank L. Groff, pro-
prietor of “The Leader,” a clothing and
gents’ furnishing establishment located
in the Poorbaugh building, closed ne-
gotiations for the Samuel Heffley lot
on Main street, opposite the First Na-
tional Bank, the consideration being
$2,000. It is Mr. Groff’s intention to
erect on the site a large business block
of two stories and a basement, the lat-
ter and the ground floor to be utilized
for store purposes, while the second
story will be fitted up for a lodge room.
Plans and specifications are being pre-
pared, and the contract will be given
out at once, so that work on the new
structure can be started just as soon as
the weather conditions will permit.

THE SECRET OF LONG LIFE.
A French scientist has discovered
one secret of long life. His method
deals with the blood. But long ago
millions of Americans had proved Elec-
tric Bitters prolonged life and makes it
worth living. It purifies, enriches and
vitalizes the blood, rebuilds wasted
‘nerve cells, imparts lite and tone tothe
entire system. It’s ajgodsend to weak,
sick and debilitated people. “Kidney
trouble had blighted my life : for
months,” writes W. M. Sherman, of
Cushing, Me., “but Electric Bitters
cured me entirely.” Only 20c. at Elk

Sergeant Prynn in Hospital With
Broken Arm.
Tue Star received the following
message by postal card dated at Sham-
okin, Pa., Jan. 30th, 1908:
“1 am instructed by Sergt. Prynn to
inform you that he is unable to an-
swer any mail at present, as his right
arm is broken. He is doing as well as
cin be expected, and hopes soon to be
out of the hospital.”
Pvt. R. H. GiBson.
Sergeant M. A. Prynn is well known
here in Salisbury, and his many friends
will be sorry to learn of his misfortune.
Mr. Gibson does not state how Sergeant
Prynn’s arm came to be broken, but
according to the Philadelphia North
American, he was shot in the arm by
the accidental discharge of a gun in
the hands of one of his comrades of the
State poliee force, while some of the
State police were attempting to capture
a foreigner who had shot another man.
We are glad indeed that the accident
was not worse.
Who Filled our Jail?
Editor James Begley, of the Berlin
Gleaner, has compiled a list of the oc-
cupations, in answer to the above ques-
tion. During the term of his brother,
Sheriff W. C. Begley, there were 258
miners and 162 day laborers committed
to jail. Ten were without any occu-
pation. The other avocations of life
represented are as follows: Railroad-
ers, 7; stone masons, 7; painters, 4;
bricklayers, 4; barbers, 4; plasterers, 3;
housekeepers, 2; agents, 2; black-
smiths, 2; sailors, 2; motormen, 2;
moulders, 2; jewelers, 2; nurses, 2 ; boil-
ermakers, 2; and one each of the foliow-
ing: iron worker, manager, clerk, bar-
tender, steam fitter, sheet roller, fire-
men, physician, hotel keeper, plumber,
boarding house keeper, printer and
watchmaker.
HEXAMETHYLENETRAMINE.
The above is the name of a German
chemical, which is one of the many
valuable ingredients of Foley’s Kidney
Remedy. Hexamethylenetetramine is
recognized by medical text books and
authorities as a uric acid solvent and
antiseptic for the urine. Take Foley's
Kidney Remedy as soon as you notice
any irregularities, and avoid a serious
malady. Elk Lick Pharmacy, E. H.

STRIKE AT RALPHTON.
Reported Refusal to Let Miners
Have a Checkweighman.
The miners at Ralphton, this county,
are reported out on a'strike, and it is
said that the strike was caused by the
refusal of the operators to allow the
miners to have a checkweighman. We
don’t know whether this report is true,
but if it is, the miners have a just
cause to strike.
The miners have a right to have
checkweighmen if they want them, and
for the operators to refuse a request so
just as that, can only be construed as
tyranny and unfairness. This paper is
strenuously opposed to arbitrary and
senseless labor organizations, walking
delegates, strike agitators, ete, but it
is just as strenuously opposed to un-
fair treatment of men by. their em-
ployers.
The laborer is worthy of his hire, and
the miner has a perfect right to have a
representative of his class at the scales
to see that all coal mined is fairly and
justly weighed. No honest operator
can have any just objections to the
weighing of his product in the presence
of a representative of the miners.
Letter from “Buteh” Woy.
In a letter recently received from
Luther Woy, better known as “Butch,”
who now resides near Boswell, that
gentleman encloses a few “plunks” and
says:
“THE STAR always is welcome at our
home, as it brings many things we
could not get in the way of first class
news. I hope this finds you and John,
the heavy-weight, well in body. My
work is good every day, now, but things
are high here, and I have a big family.
I will send you some more money for
some others that I owe, and you can
pay them and take their receipts. Then
they can’t say they did not get it.”
In closing his letter, Mr. Woy gives
us to understand that he still feels
grateful to us for a favor once extend-
ed to him in time of need. When peo-
ple show gratitude for favors, it makes
one feel good to know that he helped
them. But we regret to say that we
have in numerous cases extended
greater favors to others than any we
have ever extended to “Butch” Woy,
that were soon forgotten by the recipi-
ents of the same. In some cases, too,
the ingrates, as they proved themselves
to be, were people who made much
louder professions and greater pre-
tensions than poor, but grateful and
honest “Butch” Woy ever made.
We extend our best wishes to
“Butch,” and we wish him good luck,
peace of mind and prosperity all along
the balance of his journey through
life. His wife died since they moved
away from Salisbury, which we learned
of but recently, and we feel much
sympathy for the husband and the
motherless children.
REVOLTS AT COLD STEEL.
“Your only hope,” said three doctors
to Mrs. M. E. Fisher, Detroit, Mich.,
suffering from severe rectal trouble,
lies in an operation, ” “then I used Dr.
King’s New Life Pills,” she writes, “till
wholly cured.” They prevent Appen-
dicitis, cure Constipation, Headache.

Bogus Mining Experts.
Employment by the United States
Geological Survey, for even a short
time or in any capacity, appears to
have a commercial value that is rated
high. Even the cooks and teamsters
of the field parties refer proudly to
their connection with the Survey and
reap the reward of popular credit that
attaches to their public service.
The advertisement of such connec-
tion after it ceases, however, has some-
times been the source of trouble or
embarrassment to the Survey, especial-
ly where it is used for the furtherance
of doubtful mining schemes, and the
Survey desires to give emphasis and
wide publicity to the fact, now fairly
swell known, that no member of ite
scientific corps is allowed to do pri-
vate proffesional work in the United
States during the period of his employ-
ment. The rales of the Furvey are
indeed, so stringent, that no one con-
nected with it in any capacity—wheth-
er as messenger, laborer, clerk, or scien-
tist—is permitted to hold stock in any
mining company in the United States.
The public is warned to look carefully
into the statements and the standing
of any practicing mining engineer who
advertises present connection with the
Survey.
The fact that the staff of the Geo-
logical Survey is not composed exclu-
si~ely of geologists is too often over-
looked. Of the twelve hundred or
more persons connected with it in 1908,
not more than 10 per cent. are geolo-
gists, and not more than 1 per cent. are
engaged in work whose character im-
plies ability to determine the merits
of a mining prospect or enterprise.
