The President has issued the foil lwing
Thanksgiving proclamation;
"The approaching November brings 10
mind the custom Of our ancestors, hall
lowed by time and rooted in our most
sacred traditions. Of giving thanks TO
Almighty God for all the blessings He
has vouchsafed 10 US during the past
year. Few years in our history have af-
forded such Causes for Thanksgiving as
this. We have been blessed by abundant
harvest, our trade and commerce have
been greatly increased, our public credit
has been improved and strengthened, all
sections of our common country have
been brought together and knitted into
closer bonds of national purpose and
unity. The skies have been for time
darkened by the cloud of war, bat as we
were compelled to take up the sword in
the cause of humanity we are permitted
to rejoice that the conflict has been of
brief duration aud the losses we have
mad to mourn. though grievous and inn
portant, have been so few, considering
the great results accomplished, as TO in

sides the countless sorrows and disasters
that attend proiracted war.

curiosities Of the Calendar.

There are some olrious facts connected

the Baltimore san. No century can be-

with the same day of the week As Jan

and December also starts on the same

June and August never fall on the same

the same day of the week. This year
January and October begin on Satur-

September and December on Thursday,
June on a Wednesday, May on Sunday,
August on a Monday. Leap year, how

home of her parents in Somerset town.

announcement of her death was severe
shock to the niirescommunity. and 10
the residents of this town. where she had
lived for period Of three years. acting
as clerk for her father during his term Of
Office as Prothonotary and Clerk of the
Courts. on Monday Miss Saylor came
from Listie, where she was associated
with her brother Weller in the general
mercantile business and where she serv-
ed as postnistress. TO Somerset for the
purpose Of transactiDg business in con-
nection with the store. She had cordial
greeting for ali Of her friends and re-
turned home the same afternoon. AT an
early hour Wednesday morning her
father heard her moaning and going to
her bed room foand that she was very Ill.
Medical aid Mas sammoned and later in
the day she was apparently much better.
Towards evening she suffered relapse
and from then on she failed rspidly until
the end.
Miss SaylOr was born on December 3,
1874. and vas therefore in her twenty
fourth year. She was literally educated
aud possessed such exceptionabie ability
that at an early age her parents entrusted
business aud household duties to her
keeping. During the time she clerked
for her father she was a reat favorite
with the members of the bar and all
others having business to transact ia the
Proihonotary' Office. In the social cir
Gle she was alike popular, winning many
friends by her gentle aud sympathetic
nature and her constant d desire 10 add TO
the pleasure of others. But il was in the
home circle where her virtues and sweet
disposition manifested themselves most
clearly and where she was the idol of
fond parents and sisters aud brothers.
She united with the Evangelical Asso
ciation when mere child and lived the
pure and unselfish life of a christian.
leaving an example that will be pointed
TO with pride 10y all who came under the
influence of her benign spirit.
The funeral took place 1 o'clock Sun
day afternoon, when interment was made
in the Pleasant Hill Church ceme cry. Re
ligluus services were conducted al the
church by Rev. d. X P. Lavan, who
spoke feelingly other death aud the puri-
ty Of her life. A quartette sang ''Over The
Line" a favorite hymn of Miss Saylor's,
when the caslset was lowered in the grave
by six Of her former associates and
friends.
We can not recall death in recent
years that has occasioned such wide
spread sorrow or one that came with su, IA
crushing force to fond and loving fam
lily.
It is belie~ed that Miss SaylOr's death
is attributable TO shock sustained ia the
Johnstown food. As she passed through
that trying ordeal along with the other
members of her family. since when she
had been in delicate health.

Major Surgeon Herman Bergiu. of the
Second Pennsylvania Volunteers, accom-
psnied by Drs. William II. King and J.
Coles Brick, Of Philadelphia. arrived
here yCs,e' day morning and at once be-
gan physical examination of the mem
bers of Company |, who VII! he muster
ed out Of the army sometime between
now and next Tuesday, probably on
Monday. The members Of Company
1 were corralled IN the court house yard,
and when their names were called passed
across the street 10 Grand Army Hall,
where they were ushered into the pres
ence Of the exsming board. The exam
ination is-said TO be more rigid than the
one made before the boys were mustered
into the volunteer army. and is for the
purpose of procuring aud preserving
complete record Of the physical condition
of every volunteer at the time of his
muster out. so that in case application is
made for pension it will not be necessary
for the Pension Bureau to rely upon the
evidence of the applicants comrades, as
the record will speak for itself Each
man presenting himself before the ex-
amining board was asked to name any
disability he incurred while in the ser
vice, and if any was claimed he was
closely examined by the physicians.
Many Of the boys claimed that they were
in perfect physical condition, but their
saying so did not exempt them from ex-
animation bv the surgeOns
The muster out papers were received
several days ago and the officers Of Com
pany have been kept busy preparing
them for the inspection of the muster
out officer.
It is generally supposed that the pay

officer, when the boys will receive the
three months pay due them.

Republican Meetings.

The Repu bliean meeting held at Mey-
ersdale Saturday evening was one Of the
notable assemblies of the present cam
paign. The meeting was held in the Slicer
opera house. and B. D. Morgan presided.
with a complement of vice presidents and
secretaries. S. A Kendall, one of the
Republican candidates for Assembly,
opened the meeting with an address that
was well received by the large audience.
He urged Republicans TO vote the ticket
from top to bottom and pointed out the
necessity of eleetiug Republicans TO
State and county offices. John S. S.Weller.
candidate for State Senator, followed with
an able argument in behalf of the entire
ticket. Johu NJ. Reynolds, Assistant
Secretary of the Interior under Cleve-
land, one of the finest clmpaigners, as
well as one of the leading attorneys of
the State, was next introduced, and made
one of the best and strongest appeals for
the election OF the entire Republican
ticket ever heard in Meyersdale, or else
where.
Republican meetings were held at Ber-
lin, Shanksville, Salisbury and Davids-
vile. There was a large turn out at each
of the places mentioned, and the enthu-
siasm was unbounded.

Some Reasons Why Municipal Building
is Needed

some Reasons Why a Municipal Building
is Needed.
On next election day the voters of Som
erset will be called on to say whether the
town shall have a building suitable for
/. its needs or not-One in which there
shall be suitable lookup, "a proper coun-
ell chamber and also place where may
be stored the fire apparatus belonging to
the borough. This last Is Of impo tsnee
to every property holder. The supply of
hose with which our fire department is
equipped has cost the town full $500
and if it is to be housed in its pres
ent quarters much longer the town will
never get half value out Of that invest
ment. Every time the hose carts 90 out
10 a fire the hose comes back wet and
dirty and must be cleaned and dried and
there are few or no facilities for doing
this, with the result that necessarily the
hose become mouldy with milldew, will
rot and must be condemned and thrown
aside in half the time it would have to be
otherwise. and a new supply be bought.
So FAR we have had no bursted hose al any
fire we have had. But il is something
that may be expected to happen at any
time if things are to continue as they
now are.
We need building where the hose
companies can carefully dry their hose
and so keep il free from rot and milldew.
Another reason why a municipal build
ing is needed is that our fire department
needs hook and ladder truck, and it can
not have this because there is no place in
which to keep it.
For a council room the borough is un-
der the necessity Of paying rent at the
present time, and as things now are our
records and papers are at all times liable
20 be destroyed and lost in case of fire.
Everything considered the town by all
means ought to have this building. Ii
needs it and it will save money by hav-
ing it. The borough owns an eligible
and valuable lot, paid for long ago, and
no taxpayer will say that he felt any par
ticular burden in doing it. and so far the
way for having a good public building in
which the business matters and interest
Of the town may be properly cared for, is
already prepared.
All that is needed is for the voters of
the town to say that the town shall have it.

house Monday evening resulted as such
gatherings invariably do, in a discussion
of issr es not contemplated by those who
were responsible for it. The call an
nounced that it was for the purpose of
securing an expression from the people
in regard to increasing the borough debt
with the view of constructing a system
of sewerage and erecting a municipal
bailding, but the very first speaker
launched off into a discussion of street
improvements, and thus opened the door
for others, who fIllowed along the same
line. 1t was unfortunate tuat a repre-
sentative of the town council was not
preparedto give the audience an outline
Of the proposed public building with an

that the voters of the town will sanction

Fifty members OF Company I, under com
mand of Sergeant Gastiger were drawn
up in liue on the station platform and
when the train came to a standstill and
their Captain appeared at the door of one
Of the coaches they gave three hearty
cheers. Captain KOOser shook hands
with all Of his men and many others who
crowded around him before he was con-
ducted to a carriage. A procession head
ed by the Salisbury eornet band led the
way to the Kooser residence, where the
hand played "Home, Sweet Home"
while the Captain ard his mother made
their way from the carriage to the
veranda. The young officer removed his
hat and in a few words thanked his men
and the citizens who collected TO welcome
him home for the compliment extended.
He was given three more cheers as he
retired through the doorway. Captain
Kooser had hard struggle with typhoid
fever. as is revealed by his countenance
aud general appearance, and it win be
some days before he is able to resume his
military duties.
