Geo. Huston, late a clerk in the Elk
Lick Supply Company’s store, but now a
hustling Bedford county farmer and
dairyman, was looking up fresh cows in
this vicinity, Monday.
Wm. H. Engle, the genial clerk in

years or more, and for many years con-
ducted a furniture store and planing
mill in Meyersdale.
Miss Lou Kurtz, of Grantsville, Md.,

pleased with the paper.
Don’t forget Dr. Ellis’ lecture in the
opera house, Friday night. We heard
a commercial salesman who knows Dr.
Ellis, remark in Miller's drug store,
yesterday, that he is decidedly the fin-
est speaker he ever heard.
If you have backache and urinary
troubles you should take Foley’s Kid-
mney Remedy to strengthen and build
up the kidneys so they will act proper-

der, Proprietor. 5-1
One more engine was recently added
to the rolling stock of the Jennings
railroad. Itisa much larger one than
whe other two in use on that road, and it
is beginng to look as though business
4s going to boom on the Jennings line
in the near future.
Ex-District Attorney R. E. Meyers,
Architect W. H. Stoddard, and H.J.
Carbis, all of Somerset, were three jolly
visitors in Salisbury. one day last week.
“They had a jolly time here with their
popular friend Chas. H. Lantz, the well-
known piano tuner. :
Mrs. Mary Shannon, reputed to be
the largest woman in Somerset county,
died at her home in Confluene, last
Sunday, aged 49 vears. She was the
wife of Alexander Thomas, a B. & O.
freight conductor. Mrs. Thomas
weighed 314 pounds.
The Salisbury High School Literary
Society rendered a special program in
the school building, last Friday after-
@moon. Some of the members of the
Salisbury High School Alumni and a
@oumber of the patrons of our schools
were present, and all report the pro-
Zram a rare treat.
Mrs. C. T. Hay injured herself quite
badly one day last week by falling
down the cellar steps in her store
baildiag. She was unable to walk im-
mediately after the accident happened,
and had to be carried out, placed ina
buggy and hauled home. We have
dearned nothing of her condition since,
but trust that she has fully recovered
ere this.
Children: especially like Kennedy’s
1.axative Cough Syrup, as it tastes
nearly as good as maple sugar. It not
only heals irritation and allays inflam-
mation, thereby stopping the cough,
bat it also moves the bowels gently
and in that way drives the cold from
the system. It contains no opiates. |

Foley’s Honey and Tar is a safeguard
against serious results from spring
colds, which inflame the lungs and de-
velop into pneumonia. Avoid counter-
feits by insisting upon having the gen-
uine Foley’s Honey and Tar, which con-
tains no harmful drugs. Elk Lick
Pharmacy. E. H. Miller, ProL. 5-1
Mr. and Mrs. W. 8S. Livengood, of
Berkley, Cal, who had been visiting
friends and relatives in Salisbury dur-
ing the past two weeks, took their de-
parture last Thursday. From here
they went to Uniontown and Pittsburg
to visit friends. It may be that Mr.
Livengood will fill an engagement with
one of the Pittsburg daily newspapers
before leaving that city.
A judge in New York says this pro-
miscuous shooting of husbands must
be stopped. The judge said that the
husband should be protected just as
well: as any game. Fish, birds and
deer are all given certain geasons of
the year in which to mind gheir own
business without being shot and pep-
pered with bullets. He hag now de-
clared the season for shogjing hus-
bands closed.
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. b-1
Concrete bridges and culverts have
recently been put in all along the Jen-
nings railroad. This would indicate
that the Jennings road has come to
stay, and we predict that much coal
will be shipped over it from the now
undeveloped coal fields of Garrett
county, Md., within the next ten years.
Garrett county has valuable coal de-
posits, and the Jennings road taps some
ot the richest territory.
“The same old sorrow you have to-
day, was old when Adam was baling
hay ; the worry that makes your bosom
dark, was old when Noah was in the
ark. The grim foreboding that makes
you pale, was old when Jonah was in
the whale. There is nothing new in
this world so wide, so do not worry,
but let things slide. Your hopes and
doubts, your dreams and fears, are but
the dust of a million years.”
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
so 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
Do you know that you can write your
name on the metal of your farm tools?
You can. Just take a little tallow or
beeswax, melt it and spread it over the
place on which you want your name—
write your name down through the
wax, with a big needle or awl, and
pour a few drops of nitric acid over
the letters you have made. Leave a
few minutes, then wipe off the wax.
and your name will be on the iron.—

Unusual things happen in the human
family, and there is noreason why they
should not occur among the lower
animal creations. A eat belonging te
the family of L. 8S. Cunningham gave
birth on last Saturday to five kittens of
the Siamese kind, being attached to-
gether. They were alive this morning,
with no more indications of dying than
any other kittens that can’t see what
they are doing.—Moundsville (W. Va.)

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.

Mr. Henry Miller, Beachley street,
has a hen that is a record breaker.
She lays two eggs every other day, and
rests on the alternate day. The first
egg is laid about 1 p. m., then the hen
comes out and cackles and then goes
back and lays the second one. The
next day the hen does not even look at
the nest. A number of the neighbors
have visited Mr. Miller's and watched
this odd performance.—Meyersdale Re-
publican.
* Application for a charter has been
made to the proper authority to con-

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 clears the complexion. EIk

Here is a boy’s poetical essay on the
traditional pants: “When dad has
worn his trousers out, they pass to
brother John, then mother trims them
round about,and William puts them
on. When William’s legs too long
have grown, the trousers fail to hide
’em, so Walter claims them for his own
and hides himself inside ’em. Next
Sam’s fat legs the pants invest, and
when they won't stretch tighter,
they’re turned and shortened up for
me—the writer. Ma works them into
caps and rugs when I have burst the
stitches; at Doom’s day we shall see,
perhaps, the last of dad’s old breeches.”
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
The Cumberland Alleganian tells of
a seven-foot rattlesnake swallowing a
cast iron frog thet weighed several
pounds. The cast iron frog. so the
story goes, was used by a family near
Cumberland to hold their front door
open on warm days. It was painted
green, and when the rattler espied the
frog, his snakeship readily took it for
the real article, and proceeded to swal-
low it, which it accomplished in course
of time. After the frog was down,
however, the snake was unable to leave
the spot, owing to its heavy meal.
Wall, that’s a pretty good snake story
for the first of the season, and it isn’t
any wonder that Dr. Enfield, of Bed-
ford, places some editors in the Ananias
Club.
The rage for souvenirs and gifts, *“‘to
take home to the folks,” has made a
splendid opening for women who can
make dainty articles of almost any de-
scription. If this line of work appeals
to you, no time is better than the pres-
ent to start in it. First study well the
thing you make best and can supply a
large demand for. Then study locali-
ties. If you are a home body, perhaps
you can start a booth in your own
town. If you have the wandering
spirit, branch out and go as for away
as you dare. You will enjoy the
change of scene, the new faces and new
experiences. Write to the big hotels
or the management of summer resorts
and find out what commission or rent
they will charge. Do not expect they
will allow you valuable space free of
charge. They are furnishing you pa-
trons and advertisement, and will ex-
pect you to pay therefor. Spend your
utmost limit on a first-class location.—

The stork visited the home of Mr, and
Mrs. John Rodamer, of West Salisbury,
one night last week, and left an 11-

Ernest Welfley, whilereturning from
C. H. Knox’s Tuesday night, was held
up and robbed between the residences
of Milton Meese and Dr. A. O. MeKin-
ley. He was relieved of a purse con-
taining the sum of $95, and a diamond
ring he recently purchased for his
fiance. He was then followed to S. A.
Beachy’s, where he is making his home.

Wm. C. Wagner and sons are busily

their premises, which was destroyed by
fire, last fail. They have employed
several men to clean and sod the porch.
They éxpect this season to excel all
former ones for able speakers. The Mec-

E.R. Welfley gave a barn dance at

No Hard Times in Canton, Ohio.
Herbert C. Engle, who recently
moved from this town to Canton, Ohio,
writes to THE STAR as follows:
“Well, I am in Canton, and so far
like it real well. The prospects for
Canton, this sumauer,seem to be en-
eonraging. The only trouble is, there
seems to be more work than workers.
Every day the papers are full of ‘ads’
for carpenters, brick-layers and differ-
ent other vocations for men and wo-
