ERN HUMOR
There will be a state and congress
ional election in Oregon in June, and
the great Republican organ of that
State, the Oregonian, fearing the
effect of recent events upon the public
mind, is pleading desperately and
humorously for loyalty to Roosevelt.
"For Oregon to desert the president
now," it proclaims, would be as base
as for a regiment to desert its com
mander when the fate of a battle
hang* In doubt, rt Is all-Imporcaut
at this moment to convince the pluto
cratic enemies of the president that
the country is with him heart and
soul."
Ilow can the country be with
Roosevelt until it finds out where
Roosevelt is'! The last we heard of
liim lie was with Aldrich, the repre
sentative of the oil trust and the rail
road combines. A short time ago lie
was with the democrats on the rate
question, with the revisionists on the
tariff question, and with the socialists
on the question of confiscation of
private property. Where is Teddy
now ?
— JUST as the new element or met
al, radium, has been found not to
possess the curative properties which
were at one time claimed for it, a new
cure for tuberculosis is announced.
One I)r. Russcl, of the New York
Post Graduate Hospital, is named as
the discoverer. It is claimed that
the cures cflected are positive and
complete, none of the cases pronounc
ed cured showing any signs of a re
currence of the disease. The new
remedy consists of vegetable juices. It
sounds almost ridiculous to be told
that Dr. Russcl takes equal parts, by
weight, of potatoes, onions, beets,
turnips, cabbages, celery, apples, car
rots, parsnips, pie plant, radishes,
beans, squashes and green peas, chops
them into small pieces and then grinds
them into a pulp, from which he then
presses the juice, which is administer
ed to the patients in large amounts.
As milk, eggs and bread are also
given them at the same time, it may
be the recoveries are as much due to
the latter as to the vegetable juices.
—THE St. Louis Globe-Democrat,
an intensely partisan Republican
journal, gives all the credit to the
. Republican party for the railroad rate
legislation, lint Senator Foraker,
.who should he good authority, declar
ed that it was a Democratic measure
pronounced for in the Democratic
national platforms, and that no Re
publican platform had endorsed it.
Mr. Bryan took a much fairer view
of the matter, when he congratulated
President Roosevelt fur standing 011.
Democratic ground that his own party
was opposed to,
—A.v exchange states the fact that
you can read the proof of a news
paper article three or four times and
repeatedly pa-s over the same error
with out seeing it. All newspaper
liien will tell you so. Put just as
soon as the press is started, and the
paper i< printed in its complete shape,
there stand.- the error in front of you
so big that you can't see anything
else. It is a strange fact and is
probably ihc reason why it is so easy
to edit a newspaper after it is
printed.
— DKA it MR. MEIH lUNT: —These
city mail order houses nre miserable
low down robbers, aren't they? The
people who buy of them aie lacking
in all local pi i■ !e and patriotism,
arcn t they / Hut say, .Mr, Merchant,
where did you get your last order of
bill heads and envelopes? That's
none of our. business, is it? Mr.
Merchant, will you please take the
beam out of your own eye?
WILL OPPOSE
TICKET.
The Penrose machine has adopted
the device which is as old as is re
corded in political annals of all na
tions and all ages—sought the cloak
of respectability to cover its trans
gressions of the past and its sinister
purposes for the future. It has nam
ed former Mayor Edwin S. Stuart, of
Phila., as its candidate for Governor,
hoping to exercise with his name the
spirit of reform and lull into quiescent j
complaisance the militant spirit ot re- j
volt which has burst forth.
Mr. Stuart is indeed a respectable
man. lie is regarded as a worthy
man of agreeable qualities and most
acceptable individual virtues; in the j
business world he holds a position of j
honor, and 110 man can impeach his
personal qualities without doing vio
lence to truth.
Notwithstanding these high traits,
respectable people cannot indorse his
candidacy for Governor. With full
consciousness of his excellent qualities,
the manner of his nomination so
thoroughly offends the sense of true
reform, the spirit of anti-machine
domination, the abhorrence of the cor
rupt and discredited ring that has dis
graced Pennsylvania for decades, that
fealty to ideals and fidelity to the in
dependent anti-gang sentiment of the
State leave 110 honorable course open
to the sincere reformer but to oppose
Mr. Stuart's election with might and
main.
It should be the duty of every hon
est citizen to carry forward the work
so brilliantly begun and to rid the
State forever and aye ot the last vest
ige of the Quay-Penrose machine,
and put a permanent quietus on the
era of bossism and gang rule. In this
cause it has labored for a score of
years, and to this cause it rededicates
itself, conscious of the justice of the
struggle and confident that in the
end truth, honor andcivic right must
prevail.
Quarterly Meeting.
The quarterly meeting of Pomona
grange representing Montour and por
tions of Columbia and Northumber
land counties was held in St. John's
Roformert church, Mausdalo, yesterday
and proved a fine success.
Hon. William T. Creasy, who is a
leading patron of husbandry, was un
able to he present, which occasioned
some disappointment among the grang
ers, who always find themselves much
edified, and assisted by Mr. Creasy's
practical and progressive discourses.
The attendance, however, was quite
good. A four horse load came from
near Milton,bringing members of Tur
bot grange. Among those represent
ing Turbot grange and from Liberty,
Limestone and Anthony township in
our own county were: Dauiel Hotten
stein, Nathan Becker, William Baker,
Robert Montgomery, Miss Mont
gomery, Calvin C. Dorr, I. A. Escli
bacti, Mrs. J. K. Murray, Miss Mur
ray, Harvey Joues, William Siplier,
William R. Mills and wife.
During the forenoon a private busi
ness session was held, which was presi
ded over by Master Charles v. Ann r
man.
The dinner, which was furnished by
the ladies of St. John's Reformed
church, was well ordered and abundant
and was by no means the least enjoy
able feature of the day.
Following dinner a fifth degree ses
sion was held, after which the doors
were thrown open to the public. At
this session James W. Lowrie of Straw
berry Ridge presided. The following
attractive program was rendered :
'' Welcome Song''—Grange and audi

3\ews From H. M. Saunders
a Resident of San Fzancisco
"Dining the Earthquake.
[To Richard W. Eggcrt, founder i
of the Danville Gem. The news al
though a little late, is intensely in- '
teresting and should be read by every
subscriber of the Intelligencer—Ed.]
Pioneer San Francisco received a
rude awakening Wednesday morning,
A pril 18, 1906.
The awful call came without warn
ing like a mysterious bolt of light
ning, rushing through the upper
strata of the earth, causing devasta
tion, terror and death at the hour of
thirteen minutes past five o'clock in
the morning, when a large majority
of the city's people were still asleep
in their homes.
It seems as if all-wise Providence
had chosen the most fortunate hour
for the appalling catastrophe.
If the seismic disturbance had oc
curred in the daytime when the busy
thoroughfares of the metropolis were
lined with people, or in the evening,
when the theatres were crowded,
there would have been a still more |
horrifying chapter in the world's his
tory than the one which the city by
the Golden Gate has just contributed.
Terrible as the distress and the
calamity appear, the people of San
Francisco and California have ample
cause for genuine and deep-felt grati
tude.
The earthquake shock did much
damage.
There is as little use in denying
this fact as there is in exaggerating
the results of the temblor.
The first heavy shock, a few min
utes after five in the morning, struck
terror to the bravest and coolest of
the city's sleeping populace. In a
few seconds the streets in the residence
districts were lined with people who
rushed out of their apartments and
homes in night attire. Furniture,
pianos, book cases danced through
the rooms as if possessed with demons;
crockery and china ware dashed out
of their snug closets 011 the Hoors;
chimneys toppled over and houses
cracked, crushed and caved in.
The lower portions of the city,
and particularly where the buildings
were resting on "filled" ground,
seemed to have fared the worst.
The region along Seventeenth,
Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets,
from Dolores down to Potrerb avenue,
was badly shattered, as was also the
neighborhood bounded by Mission,
Seventh, Harrison and Fourth streets.
In Hayes Valley the earthquake did
considerable damage, and the City
Hall was badly shaken.
Most of the old buildings along
Montgomery street and east towards
the water front were badly cracked
by the shock.
The Valencia Hotel, near Eigh
teenth street, caved in, and in the
fall killed a number of the lodgers
and injured others.
The large five-storv Brunswick
Hotel on Sixth and Howard streets,
with its three hundred rooms which
are all reported to have been occupi
ed, collapsed to the ground.
Another lodging house on Seventh
and Howard streets was crushed to
the ground by a falling brick wall.
But few of the occupants of these
houses escaped.
A portion of the large Cosmopoli
tan House, on the corner of Fifth
and Mission streets, went down with
the first shock. Some of the lodgers
were buried in the ruins, but many
escaped and found a place of refuge
on the Mint steps.
The Portland House, on Sixth
street, between Mission and Market,
collapsed, and it is stated that about
sixty persons were entombed among
the crashing ruins. Their heart-rend
ing cries for help were heard a block
away. A large number of these,
however, were saved before the fire
overtook tlieni and taken to the emer
gency hospital established at the
Mechanics Pavilion.
Another lodging-house, the Royal,
on the corner of Fourth and Mission
streets, caved in and buried the un
fortunate lodgers in the ruins. It is
reported that a large number of these
victims were rescued by brave and
more fortuuate men who happened to
1* close to the scene of destruction.
The Wilson House, a four-story
structure with eighty rooms, at 775
Mission street, fell to the ground in a
heap of ruins. So far as can be
learned but few of the inmates were
saved.
Nearly all the lodging-houses south
of Market street met the same fate.
North of Market street the human
I eehives fared better. The Lick
House aud the Ituss House, on Mont
gomery street, were badly shattered.
The St. Nicholas Hotel, 011 Market
street, was thoroughly shook up, and
when the inmates stepped from their
beds they lound the rooms flooded
with water from the tank on the
roof.
'lhe Luxembourg, at Stockton and
O'Farrell streets, a three-story house,
was partly crushed under tons of fall
ing brick from an adjoining building,
but it is stated that only one man and
woman were killed at this place.
The old California Hotel, on Bush
street, was badly shaken. It was
here that the late lamented Chief
Sullivan of the Fire Department re
ceived the injuries which caused his
death.
IJut although the damage from the
earthquake was great, San Francisco
would have recovered from the shock
in a marvelously short space of time.
It was not the earthquake, hut the
fire—the great terrible fire—that de
stroyed pioneer San Francisco.
For three days and three nights
that awful conflagration swept the
stricken city, devouring half a cen
tury's fruition of human energy, skill
and ingenuity.
Fires broke out in half a dozen
places shortly after the earthquake,
and although our excellent fire-fight
er- responded promptly to the call of
duty, they were greatly handicapped
at the very stirt by lack of water,
many of the mains having been brok
en by the temblor. Despite the fire-
men's heroic efforts the fire spread.
The old buildings .south of Market
and east of Seventh burned like so
many boxes of matches, and the peo
ple fled before the ravaging elements
to the nearest place of safety.
Men, women and children, most of
them poorly clad, clutching a family
picture, carrying some relic, a bundle
of bed clothes, a grip, or dragging a
trunk, hurried away from the scorch
ing flames to what destination they
knew not.
They were actuated by but one
thought—to get away from the ter
rible fire.
The gloomy tide of humanity rolled
on, out through the Mission lload to
the cemeteries, over the hills to Gold
en Gate Park and onto the beach.
It was one mighty surging wave of
human faces of living grief and throb
bing despair.
Wednesday afternoon the fire broke
out in Hayes Valley and swept on
towards the St. Ignatius College, on
Van Ness avenu >, totally destroying
that noble structure.
The fire made short work of Frank
lin Hotel; it blazed in a few minutes
and fell into Market street.
The Mechanics' Pavilion was an
easy prey to the flames, but the sick
and injured were rushed out to other
improvised hospitals before the fire
reached the pavilion.
East and west, north and south,
the terrible conflagration ate its
way.
On Wednesday night and Thurs
day morning the lower portion of
Market street, Chinatown and Nob
Hill was one seething furnace.
Thousands of angry flames shot
high into the sky, and the cracking
timbers, the falling buildings and the
terrific roar of the fire sounded like a
dozen cyclones.
Thursday morning dawned on the
dire calamity, but it brought addi
tional terror to the stricken people.
The fire was still raging worse than
on Wednesday and the black smoke
hung over the doomed city like a
■ shroud of death.
Thursday, Thursday night, Friday,
Friday night and Saturday the all
destructive fire continued its work of
devastation unabated.
It was a panaroma that people who
saw it will never forget and never
wish to see again, Lut through it all
for three days and three nights the
brave fire laddies fought the merciless
element. Many of them dropped ut
terly exhausted at their post of duty,
which was quickly occupied by oue of
their comrades. They stood in the
midst of the roaring furnaces fighting
the flames, and eases are on record
where police officers and volunteer
firemen had to continually play a
stream of water on the regular firemen
on duty in ardor to keep theiu from
being burned and scorched.
Dynamiting of buildings was re
sorted to in order to confine the fire,
but the flames were no sooner subdued
iu oue place before they broke out in
another.
As is usual in all cases of extraor
dinary emergency those who knew it
all were profuse with their gratuitous
advice of how things ought to be
done, and the great San Francisco fire
produced a few fire, experts who were
brim full of good ideas and wonderful
theories, but they all kept at a very
safe, distance from the fire.
Expressions were frequently heard
from all sides to the effect that if
Chief Sullivan had been well and
alive the fire would have beeu confin
ed within a very limited area. No
doubt there was considerable truth in
these statements. Fire fighting was
the chosen profession of the late chief,
and he had made a life study of the
conditions presented by a big fire iu
San Francisco. In fact, he had often
stated that San Francisco could not
always escape a big conflagration, and
he had predicted on more than oue
occasion the great fire with its causes
and terrible results which we have
just passed through, but which he was
not permitted to combat.
Time and again had he asked the
ex-Board of Supervisors to provide au
adequate water supply for the protec
tion of the city against fire, and as
often did he ask iu vain.
But regardless of the various and
adverse comments both during the
progress of the fire and afterward, the
fact remaius that every member of
the San Francisco Fire Department
battled for days and nights with the
raging elements as men never fought
before. They were also ably assisted
by the Police Department and the
Federal troops.
Cool headed persons—men who had
not lost any portion of their reason,
neither as a result of the skake or of
the excitement, know from close ob
servation that the work of fighting
the great fire was both skillfully dir
ected and effectively carried out, and
if there should be any doubting
Thomases who do not believe that
such is the case let them, if they are
capable, study the fire line.
To us it seems more like a miracle
than anything else that the fire was
stopped at the present limits.
The burned district extends from
Twentieth and Mission, Tweutieth
and Dolores, C>ough Street, Golden
Gate Avenue and Vau Ness Avenue
to the City Front and from the Pot
rero to North Beach.
It is stated that the edge of the fire
limit is over twenty-nine miles long
and the burut area is computed as be
ing over eight square miles. The
property loss is variously estimated
between 8400,000,000 and 8425,000,-
000. The exact loss of life has not
yet, and never will beasceitained, but
Coroner Walsh estimates it at not
less than fifteen hundred.
Compared with the Chicago fire in
1871 the burned district in San Fran
cisco is six times the size of the one
laid bare in Chicago, and the property
loss and loss of life comes very nearly
in the same proportion.
The dire calamity is the greatest
and most, distressing event of its kind
not only in the history of our country, ,

Terrible as the disaster still appears
before our eyes, it has already been
fraught with many and wonderful
I blessings, and San Francisco's sad
! misfortune will in time prove to have
been her best fortune.
The shake, the fire, revealed the
true character of her people.
\ It is true that such a catastrophe
, could not help but open the gates foi
, the very worst that has found lodge
ment in mankind, but the depraved
I element constituted only an indefinite
, fraction when compared to that ocean
of kindness which rushed from self-
I sacrificing, brave human souls during
C the three days and three nights ol
I horror.
Nobody knew before the calamity
( that San Francisco possessed so many
hundred thousand unselfish and cour
( ageous women, kind hearted and
strong men.
There has been not only a crashing
of buildings, a leveling of fortunes,
but a moulding of character—a people
tempered in the strongest crucible and
thus qualified for the greatest of
huninu tasks—the re-building of
Greater San Francisco as one of the
most beautiful, best and largest cities
of the world.

DAMAGE SUITS.
A short time ago when the borough
of Lewisburg was made the defendant
iu a damage suit, this paper directed
the nttention of tho authorities in this
town to the fact that there wore a
number of dangerous places unprotect
ed, aud which may involve the bor
ough in expensive litigation. A suit
instituted against the township of
Montour in Columbia county by an in
jured porson.who bases a ten thousand
dollar claim for damages upon the
negligence of the supervisors. The
costs aud attorney fees in cue damage
case, evon though it might be wou by
the borough, would go a great ways
toward doing all the work needed to I
bring the places iu question within
legal requirements.

JUDGE O. C. EVANS.
His Honor, Judgo C. O. Evans, who
presided at his first term of court in
this county lust week,made a very fine
impression. His decisions, which
seemed satisfactory to the attorneys iu
terested, were quickly arrived at. In
all matters concerning which the mere
layman is qualified to judge lie reveal
ed sound judgment and a due regard
for all the circumstances involved. A
big volume of business was disposed
of during the week.
Judge Evans has a natural dignity
aud roservo tiiat becomes him immen
sely as a judge, but at the same time,
after a very brief acquaintance, lie be
comes the most affable of men and as
Basy to approach as any one could de
sire. During his week in Danville ho
formed very many friends.
CARELESS MARRIAGES.
A goodly number of the marriages
iu Venango county do not seem to liavo
been made in heaven. At the session
of the county court at Franklin last,
week no less than twenty applications
for divorce were before the court.
Four were continued. Of the other
sixteen applications, twelve were for
desertion. One of the parties, usually
the man, simply got tired and left the
county, leaving the wife to get along
tlio best way slio could: Few of tlieso
desertion oases would occur if men
and women took some pains to read
the characters of those seeking them
