Pleasant, Pa., was the guest of C. W. Stotler and family, last week. Mrs. Lawrence Wagner went to La- trobe, Pa., last Saturday, to visit her sister, Mrs. John W. Miller. Rev. L. P. Young was quite ill several days during the past week, suffering with a bad case of la grippe. He is again able to be out, however. Last Friday evening snow fell to the depth of se—eral inches, but it soon disappeared, as did the 28-inch snow we had in April, about 8 years ago. Mr. James Harding, Sr., and family, were visited last Sunday by their friend Mr. Schmidt, who holds a cleri- cal position in the: Fayette county court house. DeWitt’s Little Early Risers, the best known pills, and the best pills made, are easy to take and act gently and are certain. We sell and recomend them. E. H. Miller. 5-1 Chas. F. Cochrane and family have moved to Milford township to engage in truck farming. Sorry to losg them as residents here, but we all wish them abundant success. Miss Kate Mier, one of our borough school teachers, was laid up several days during the past week on account of an abscess in her head, but is again able to wield the birch. Mrs. Oscar Wagner and family have moved to Ruffsdale, Pa., where Mrs, Wagner will keep house for one of her brothers, who is a widower. Her many Salisbury friends all wish her well. Rev. E. 8S. Hassler, who had charge of the St. Paul Reformed pastorate, in Elk Lick township, several years ago, conducted the Easter services at St. John’s Reformed church, this city, last Sunday. “Met” Rodamer tendered his resigna- tion as clerk at the B. & O. station at this point on the first of April. This is said to be the first step taken to prove the fact that Mr. Rodamer will go west in a short time.—Boswell News. Mrs. Wm. F. Garlitz, of West Salis- bury, has been very ill for some time, suffering from la grippe and complica- tions arising therefrom. Her condition was very critical several days ago, but we understand she is now recovering. Tomorrow Wm. H. Fair's family leave for Akron, Ohio, where Mr. Fair and his son Harrison are now em- ployed in a rubber factory. We wish them success in their new location, but regret to see them leave Salisbury. If you have backache and urinary troubles you should take Foley’s Kid- mey Remedy to strengthen and build up the kidneys so they will act proper- ly, as a serious kidney trouble may de- velop. Elk Lick Pharmacy, E. H. Mil- Jer, Proprietor. 5-1 We have an interesting communica- tion on file from our eloquent, big- hearted and poetical friend Dr. A. En- field, of Bedford, Pa., which will appear in our next issue. Watch for, and. be sure to read it, as it will be better for you than a spring tonic. W. 8S. Livengood and wife, who ar- rived here last week, are visiting Mey- ersdale and Somerset friends, this week, but will return to Salisbury for a final visit in a few days. Their many friends in old Somerset county are showing them a fine time. Foley’s Honey and Tar is a safeguard against serious results from spring eolds, which inflame the lungs and de- velop into pneumonia. Avoid counter- feits by insisting upon having the gen- mine Foley’s Honey and Tar, which con- | tains no harmful drugs. Elk Lick | Pharmacy, E. H. Miller, Prop. 5-1 | Dr. P.S. Keim, of Elk Garden, W. a., spent Easter with his mother and sister, Mrs. 8S. C. Keim and Miss Cora Keim, at the family home on Ord street. The genial doctor is looking as hale and hearty as ever, and reports a very lucrative practice at Elk Garden. C. T. Hay recently purchased a 50- acre farm from Wm. Baker, near Red Ridge, in Garrett county, Md. We un- derstand that Mr. Hay intends to start a wildcat ranche and a mammoth sum- mer resort hotel. The farm is in the picturesq 1e Pine Run locality, near the Maust Lumber Company’s standard- gauge Red Ridge railway. On Saturday evening last, Charles Emert, a prominent citizen of Somer- set, died of scarlet fever, after an ill- ness lasting three days. He was aged 32 years, and is survived by a wife and two childrer. Mr. Emert was well known throughout the county, and had been engaged in the manufacture of woolen goods, at Somerset. Children especially like Kennedy's Laxative Cough Syrup, as it tastes nearly as good as maple sugar. It not only heals irritation and allays inflam- mation, thereby stopping the cough, ‘but it also moves the bowels gently and in that way drives the cold from the system. It contains no opiates. Sold by E. H. Miller. 5-1 Mrs. Mildred Statler yesterday took charge of the Somerset Telephone Company’s central office in this eity, her predecessor, Miss Stella Fair, hav- ing resigned in order to locate in Akron, Ohio, with the other members of the Fair family. The office was well conducted by Miss Fair, and we be- lieve it will be well conducted by Mrs. Statler. “As a general thing,” observed Uncle Jerry Peebles, “I believe in lettin’ wo- men have whatever they want; but when I see one of ’em goin’ around with a spring hat on her head that looks like an old-fashioned beehive that’s been tarred and feathered and then struck by lightning, I begin to wonder, by George! if it would be safe to trust her with the ballot.” We often wonder how any person can be persuaded into taking anything but Foley’s Honey and Tar for coughs, colds and lung trouble. Do not be fooled into accepting ‘own make” or other substitutes. The genuine con- tains no harmful drugs, and isin a yel- low package. Elk Lick Pharmacy, E. H. Miller, Proprietor. 5-1 Frederick ‘Livengood, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Livengood, of Grgntsville, Md, stopped off in our town for a while, last Saturday even- ing, while on his way home on a 10- day furlough from “Uncle Sam’s” Reg- ular army. “Fred” 1s in the Heavy Artillery branch of the service, and judging from his strong, healthy ap- pearance, army life must agree with him. Married, last Friday evening, at the Salisbury Lutheran parsonage, by the Rev. L. P. Young, Mr. Jonas S. Lichty and Miss Lela Schramm. The groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Simon Lichty, of Garrett county, Md., and the bride the eldest daughter of Mrs. George Schramm. They are very nice young people, and THE Star wishes them a happy and prosperous matrimonial voyage. People past middle life usually have some kidney or bladder disorder that saps the vitality, which is naturally lower in old age. Foley’s Kidney Remedy corrects urinary troubles, stimulates the kidneys, and restores strength and vigor. It cures uric acid troubles, by strengthening the kidneys go they will strain out the uric acid that settles in the muscles and joints, causing rheumatism. Elk Lick Phar- macy, E. H. Miller, Proprietor. 5-1 = During the past week THE Star has lost one subscriber, on account of hav- ing published some wholesome truth about poker-playing, but in his place, during the same period, we have gained the following gilt-edged new ones: Elder Jacob W. Peck, Summit town- ship; J. E. Reitz, of New Enterprise, Pa., and Wm. A. Folk, of Springs, Pa. That’s three to one in our favor. Twas ever thus. “Bert” Statler, the able teacher and director of the Salisbury Cornet Band, recently gathered up a lot of new pupils from ameng.the boys and young men of Salisbury, and he has already made a very creditable band of the new material. The boys are doing fine, and some of them bid fair to make band musicians of far more than or- dinary ability. Salisbury has always been famous for its abundance of good band talent, leading all other towns in the county ir that respect. During the spring every one would be benefited by taking Foley’s Kidney Remedy. It furnishes a needed tonic to the kidneys after the extra strain of winter, and it purifies the blood by stimulating the kidneys, and causing them to eleminate the impurities from it. Foley's Kidney Remedy imparts new life and vigor. Pleasant to take. Elk Lick Pharmacy, E. H. Miller, Pro- prietor. 5-1 Herbert Engle and family, who re- sided on Ord street during the past few years, moved to Ohio, last Monday, but not to Akron, where most of the people who leave Salisbury have been locating. “Bert” thought Canton | would be about the proper place for him, hence decided to locate there. Tre STAR will keep him posted on the doings in and around Salisbury, and we wish him all the success in his new lo- cation that can be achieved by honest industry. His sister Mary -also went to Obio with him.’ : Mr. F. G. Fritts, Oneonta, N. Y., writes: “My little girl was greatly benefited by taking Foley’s Orino Lax- ative, and I think it is the best remedy for constipation and liver trouble.” Foley’s Orino Laxative is best for wo- men and children, as it is mild, pleas- ant and effective, and is a splendid spring medicine, as it cleanses the sys- tem and cléars thé complexion. Elk Lick Pharmacy, E. H. Miller, Proprie- tor. 5-1 Elder Jacob W. Peck, one of the best known farmers in Summit township, was a welcome caller at THE STAR of- fice, yesterday. Mr. Peck is a Republi- can candidate for the nomination of Director of the Poor, and we call your attention to his announcement in this issue. He filled the office he now seeks, some years ago, and during his incumbeney not even a hint of wrong- doing was uttered against the board of directors of the poor. Jacob W. Peck is an able and conscientious man, and he may well point to his official and per- sonal record in the past, with just pride and satisfaction. The wife of George W. Shaw, of near Grantsville,Md., died last Monday even- ing, aged 76 years, 8 months and a few days. Her death was due to paralysis. The funeral service was held at the family residence, yesterday afternoon, and interment was made in the Grants- ville cemetery. Deceased is survived by her aged husband and the following named sons and daughters: H. C. Shaw, of Salisbury; Dr. W. P. Shaw, of Berlin; Joseph Shaw, of Elk Lick ; Tib- bie, Lulu and Gurney, at home, and Fanny, of Salisbury. The deceased was a devoted wife and mother, a kind friend and neighbor, and her death is mourned by all who knew her. You should not delay under any cir- cumstances in case of Kidney and Bladder trouble. You should take something promptly that you know is reliable, something like DeWitt’s Kid- ney and Bladder Pills. They are un- equaled for weak back, backache, in- flammation of the bladder, rheumatic pains, ete. When you ask for DeWitt’s Kidney and Bladder Pills, be sure you get them. They are antiseptic. Ac- cept no substitutes; insist upon get- ting the right kind. Sold by E. H Miller. 5-1 Miss Alice Beal, who had accepted a position with the Quemahoning Sup- ply Company, at Boswell, decided to remain in Salisbury just as she was about to take her departure. She de- cided to remain on account of a more desirable position tendered to her by Barchus & Livengood, one of Salis- bury’s most popular and best known ‘mercantile firms. Miss Beal started on her new position today, and her many friends in this town and vicinity will be delighted to know that she has decided to remain in Salisbury. She is an ideal clerk, just the kind Barchus & Livengood have long needed. The proprietors of the B.& IL. establishment are men whose time is largely taken up wiih other kinds of business in w ch they are interested, and their clerical force has heretofore been sadly deficient. in many business-getting es- sentials. MURDER NEAR STOYSTOWN. Frank F. Wingard Brutally Mur- dered in His Home. Frank F. Wingard, a well-known merchant and Justice of the Peace who conducted a general store near the Reading mines in Quemahoning town- ship, was found dead in his home, last Thursday. His head was beaten to a pulp with a portion of a coal auger, which weapon was found- near his body. smeared with blood. A ledger was also found near the body, and the book was open at a page whereon ap- peared an account against Milton Meyers, who has since been arrested on the charge of having committed the murder. Meyers is a single man 20 years old, had been boarding with the Wingard family, but disappeared suddenly after 1 the murder was committed. He was arrested at Lewistown, Mifflin county, Pa., and is now in jail at Somerset, from whence he will likely be taken into court for trial at the next session for eriminal cases, which will begin on May 17th. There seems to be some ground for suspicion that a dispute arose between Meyers and Wingard over the settle- ment of an account, and several other matters also cast suspicion upon Mey- ers. Rumor has it that the relations between Wingard and his wife have been very unpleasant for some time, and the report is current that his wife recently deserted him. Distriet Conference. The District Conference for Western Pennsylvania, Church of the Brethren was held in Salisbury on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. The attend- ance was quite large, many visiting brethren and [sisters were in attend- ance, and the sessions are reportod to have been very interesting. ST NATIONAL BES ETL BANK . THREE PER CENT.

Henry Johnson, a resident of this borough who was taken to the Me- morial Hospital at Johnstown, Pa., on March 20th, for a surgical operation, died in that institution about 11 o’clock, Monday night last. In mention- ing his death, the Johnstown Journal has the following to say: “Death resulted from intestinal in- fection, resulting from an injury to the spine. A heroic attempt was made on Sunday to save Johnson’s life, when Miss Stella Kline, one of the members of the staff of nurses, bravely submit- ted to an operation by which a quantity of her blood was transfused to John- son. It was thought at first that the operation was successful, as he rallied strongly afterwards, but his condition QD. DIT) PERERA GY GY transactions.

Some time ago while going over the premises of the late Katherine Kemble, Kingwood, 'W. Va., an old-fashioned purse was found which contained many rare coins. Upwards of 100 silver 3-cent pieces were among the lot, all in a good state of preservation, the majority bearing the date of 1852. Quite a num- ber of Spanish coins were in the purse, one piece bearing the date of 1773. At one time the Kemble property was a tavern, and the retail price of a drink of whiskey was 3 cents, which may ac- count for the preponderance of that coin among the collection.—Oakland Republican.
