The represente- tion of Lincoln, which will take the place of the Indiam head, is that con- tained on a bronze medal recently exe- cuted by Victor B.- Brenner, of New York, says an exchange. Since the explosion in the mine of the Merchants Coal Company at Bos- well, several weeks ago, several hun- dred persons have moved from the town.

We understand that our portly friend Dr. “Abe” Livengood, the well-known veterinary surgeon, has purchased a home in Elkins, W. Va. and is about to locate there. He has been located in Keyser, W Va. for more than a year, and has already achieved great fame and success in his profession.

Va., Tuesday, the fight was between the “drys” and the “wets” for control of the city council, which body has the license-granting power over saloons. The drys elected the mayor and six out of ten councilmen, which means that the eleven saloons and one brewery now doing business in Elkins must close their doors on the 1st of next July.

We have not learned the particulars of the wedding, but we join the numer- ous friends of the newly wedded couple in extending best wishes and congratulations. The groom is the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Silas A. Wagner, and the bride, we understand, is an adopted daoghter of Mr. and Mrs. | George Morrow, of Meyersdale. The local lodge of Odd Fellows had a banquet in the McKinley - building, Tuesday evening, at which they royally entertained a number of invited guests. Some good speeches were made, we are told, and the supper was served by the local W. C. T. U., which organization gave a “sociable” in the same building the following evening, at which re- freshments were served. The editor and wife return thanks for an invita- tion to be present, but regret to state that we could not be there. “My three year old boy was badly constipated, had a high fever and was in an awful condition. I gave him two doses of Foley's Orino Laxative, and the next morning the fever was gone and he. was entirely well, Foley’s Orino Laxative saved his life” A. Wolkush, Casimer, Wis. Elk Lick Pharmacy, E. H. Miller, Prop. 4.1 Last Friday morning W. H. Dill, bus- Meyersdale Re- her home in Philadelphia. In response to a telegram, Mr. Dill started for Phil- adelphia at once, but arrived there a few hours after his mother died. The funeral took place at Lewisburg, their former home, last Sunday. Deceased was the wife of the late Andrew Dill, who in 1878 was the Democratic candi- date for Governor of this state. 8S. L. Livengood last week resigned his position as blacksmith at our local traction engine works, and on Friday he went to Chambersburg, Pa., where he has accepted a more lucrative po- sition at blacksmithing for a carriage manufacturer. He has written home that he likes his new position and the town of Chambersburg very much, and it is likely that he will soon move his family to that place. The people of Salisbury would all hate to see “Sam” and his family leave our town, but all wish them success wherever they may reside. How can any person risk taking some unknown cough remedy when Foley’s Honey and Tar costs them no more? It is a safe remedy, contains né6 harm- ful drugs, and cures the most obstinate coughs and colds. Why experiment with your health? Insist upon having the genuine Foley’s Honey and Tar. Elk Lick Pharmacy, E. H. Miller, Pro- prietor. 4-1 A Meyersdale correspondent to the Connellsville Courier, reported the fol- lowing news to that paper, last Sun- day: Work in the mines is very slack in this region. Yesterday when the men received their pay. about 80 em- ployes in Summit and Elk Lick No. 4 mines, mostly single men, were laid off. It is said that in the next two weeks more than 250 will be added to the list at the several mines in this region of the Somerset Coal Company. Coming as it doee at this season of the year, it works considerable hardship to those who are forced to give up their jobs. Bill Nye had the truth well told when he said: “A man may usea wart on the back of his neck for a collar button ; ride on the back coach of a railroad train to save interest on his money till the eonductor gets around; stop his watch at night to save wear and tear; leave his ‘i’ or ‘t’ without a dot or cross to save ink; pasture his mother’s grave to save corn; but a man of this sort is a gentle- man and a scholar compared to the fellow that will take a newspaper two or three years, and when asked to pay for it, puts it into the office and has it marked “refused.” This is the most dangerous time of the year to catch cold, and it is the hardest time to cure it. If you should take a cold, a few doses of Kennedy’s ‘Laxative Congh Syrup will act very promptly. Its laxative principle cures the cold by driving it from the system by a gentle but natural action of the bowels. Children especially like Ken- nedy’s Laxative Cough Syrup, as it tastes so good, nearly like maple sugar. It is sold by E. H. Miller. 4-1 Dennis Stevanus, one of THE STAR'S Garrett county (Md.) friends and sub- scribers, was a business called at THE Star office yesterday. He is successor to Albert Bittinger in the slate and mi al roofing business, and we wish him much success in his new venture, We teel sure that he will make good, to, for he is a hard and intelligent worker, ns well as a young man of ex- emplary habits and high moral charac- ter. Dennis is quite a newspaper re- porter, too, he having on several oc- casions reported for THE STAR the pro- ceedings of farmers’ institutes, and his reports were excellent in every par- ticular, “We wish to thank the city auathori- ties for quarantining me and my family for two weeks, recently, because one of the children had smallpox. Daring that time my wife caught up with her sewing, undisturbed by callers. We had three square meals a day, and no one came in and my wife was not per- mitted to go out. We enjoyed two weeks of good, long nights’ sleep, and best of all, a cousin with four children arrived to visit with us, saw the sign on the door, and left town so scared that she will never come back again. I wish to thank the city authorities and hope they will think of our comfort some time again”—Kincaid (Kan.) Dispatch. . Better and better grows The Ladies’ World, judging by the March number just received. It has an unusual num- ber of fine stories, among the authors being Hugh Pendexter, Alice MacGow- an, Clara Morris, Shirley Carson, Grace Cain and Albert Biglow Paine. There is a timely article on Washing- ton Sosdial Life, and another on the dangerous side of the New Thought and similar movements. Catering as an occupation for women is sensibly dealt with; there is an attractive ar- ticle on Garden Work, an original en- tertainment called A Presidential Par- ty. The household departments are full of interest, and the housekeeper will find among the cookery recipes some very novel and appetizing dishes made from canned goods. There are, besides, a goodly array of Spring Fash- ions, A Lesson in Dressmaking. The Ways of Society, Health and Good Looks, Artistic Needlework, ete. Everything seems very good and very sensible. New York; Fifty Cents a when he returned to his employment. | side of his mother, who was very ill at! Year.] E. J. Egan, one of Salisbury’s most progressive business. men, says he finds that it pays him to make use of THE STAR’s business local column, the lo- cals bringing lots of inquiries concern- ing the goods advertised, and lots of sales follow. Mr. Egan is right, and there isn’t a store in town that couldn’t create a lively demand for certain goods on their shelves, if the goods were mentioned in the columns of the local paper. When special newspaper mention is made of certain lines of goods, a lively demand is often created for goods that otherwise are slow sale, simply because people do not think of them until the little business local jogs the memory. In our own case, we have purchased many a dollars worth of advertised goods that we wouldn’t have thought of buying, had their purchase not been suggested by newspaper advertisements. And the same is the experience of practically everybody else. Furthermore, |it is sometimes interesting to note how long an advertisement will continue to do its intended work. even after its discontinuance. An instance of this kind was brought very forcibly to our. mind just recently. For several years we had on hand rome personal effects which we had no need for. The arti- cles were valuable to those in need of them, but to us were merely dead stock. We advertised them by insert- ing a few little locals in THE STAR, a few times, a couple of months ago, and last week, which was long after the advertisements last appeared, Major Phil A. Shaffer, Superintendent of the Macdonaldton mines, sent us an order and the price for one of the articles advertised. If you have anything to sell, whether you are a business man, farmer, mechanic or laborer, there are many times when a little business local or two will readily dispose of your goods and convert dead stock into ready cash. Curtin Chaney Breaks an Arm. ‘While trying to boom a load of lum- ber, Tuesday afternoon, Curtin Chaney, a teamster in the employ of R. New- man & Bro.,, had the misfortune to break one of his arms at the wrist. The accident was caused by the break- ing of the chain while under heavy ten- sion, throwing Mr. Chaney violently to the ground. “Curt” seems to be hav- ing more than his share of bad luck, but we trust that his recovery will be more rapid than when he had typhoid fever. Death of Mrs. Marling Walker. Mrs. Ada Bertha Walker, wife of Marling Walker, a clerk in the P. R. R. Supervisor’s office, at Conemaugh, Pa, died Tuesday night of last week, at the Memorial Hospital, Johnstown, Pa., aged twenty-four years and twenty days. The remains were brought to Mr. Walker’s home on Friday, and in- terred in the Hay’s cemetery, Rev. Carney officiating. Deceased is sur- vived by her husband, father, two brothers and three sisters. Mr. Walker is a brother of Mrs. C. B. Dickey, of Elk Lick. Wants His Record Cleared. Prof. J. C. Beahm, recently deposed principal of the Grantsville high school, after being charged with a serios crime at Accident, early last fall, and who was tried at the December term of our circuit court and acquitted of the charge, appeared before the school board on last Thursday and Friday and asked to have his record cleared of the charge, and a restoration to the schools of the county. We are informed that Prof. Beahm did not get all he asked for, and there was some strong conten- tion over the matter, and the end is not yet.—QOakland Journal. Leg Badly Crushed While Logging. While engaged at logging for the White’s Creek Lumber Company, Christian Beachy, of Garrett county, Md. had the misfortune on Monday, the 1st inst., to get one of his legs caught under a rolling log, which re- ‘ulted in badly crushing and mangling the leg from the knee to the foot. It is said that he laid in the woods an hour or more, in the greatest agony, before his pitiable condition was discovered. He was brought to Salisbury as soon as possible, where he was placed aboard a P. & M. trolley car at 8 o'clock in the evening, an attendant accompanying him on his way toa Baltimore hospital. The injured leg will likely Lave to be amputated, if that has not already bz2en done. The unfortunate man is the youngest son of the late Aaron Beachy, and his place of residence is several miles west of Grantsville. A RELIGIOUS AUTHOR’S STATE- : MENT. Rev. Joseph H. Fesperman, Salisbury, N. C.,, who is the author of several books, writes: “For several years I was afflicted with kidney trouble, and last winter I was suddenly stricken with a severe pain in my kidneys and was comfined to bed eight days, unable to get up without assistance. My urine contained a thick white sediment and I passed same frequently, day and night. I commenced taking Foley's Kidney Remedy, and the pain gradu- ally abated and finally ceased, and my urine became normal. I cheerfully recommend Foley’s Kidney Remedy.” Elk Lick Pharmacy, E. H.
