CAPTAIN KOOSER’S BOYS. How the People of Salisbury Turn- ed Out to Bid Our Brave Vol- unteers Goodbye. Early yesterday morning there was such a gathering of aged fathers and mothers, and men, women and children of all ages on our streets as has not been seen here since the days of 61. What did it all mean? What brought about this gathering of old, tottering fathers, weeping mothers, enthusiastic young men and sweethearts with tear- ‘stained cheeks? What did all the flags and bunting mean? And what did the fervent goodbyes and parting benedic- tions signify? It was an unusual scene, indeed, for our little mountain town. The occasion was the departure of our gallant young volunteers who were about to start out to serve their glor- ious country—to follow the flag where it leads, whether it be to glorious victo- ry or to glorious death. It was indeed a pathetic scene to see so many of the flower of our manhood depart, perhaps never to return, perhaps to come back crowned with the laurels of victory and fame. But in the language of the im- mortal Warren, = “In the God of battles trust; Die we may and die we must.” No, we do not know whether all of these young men will ever return. In fact we do not know whether any of them will ever return; but let us not be saddened too much on that account, for every man has but once to die, and it is honorable to die in a just cause. Let us rather rejoice at this time. Re- | joice that American patriotism is not | dead ; rejoice that Salisbury has her share of patriots, and rejoice that our i cause is a righteous cause. There will | be time enough to mourn if the time comes when mourning is in order; but | we all hope that no time will come { when we will be called upon to mourn | for any of the Somerset county boys. We know they will do their duty. We know that they will follow the flag where it leads,whether it be to easy vic- tory or over battle fields baptized with blood and carnage. Our boys are not made of the kind of stuff that shrinks from duty, whether it is frought with danger or not. May good fortune ever attend them, and may they all return to be welcomed by their friends and bring with them honor and vietory, af- ter the tottering Castillian kingdom is treated to a dose as salty as the sad sea waves and compelled to take her iron heel of tyranny from off ihe form of oppressed and bleeding Cuba. Following is a list of those of our i Salisbury and Elk Lick boys who pass- | ed the medical examination at Somer- | set, up to the hour of going to press: Fox. Milliron, Theodore and Alfred i Ringler, Lester Boucher, Wilson Enos, George Herb, Calvin and Irvin Engle, Harry Livengood, Daniel Thomas and George Blake. There are others who went to enlist, and who doubtless have passed the-ex- amination, but at the hour of going to press we have not yet been notified of their acceptance. We understand,how- ever, that chere will be about twenty in the company from here, and we will give the names of the others in our next issue. The boys were accompanied to Som- erset by the Salisbury Cornet Band and a large number of our citizens. To- morrow eveniug they are to be sent to Chickamauga, where they will be equipped for war and await further or- ders. ‘We are pleased to note that Mr. Ernest O. Kooser, who was chiefly in- terested in getting up the company, will more thau likely be commissioned as its captain. Mr. Kooser is a highly esteemed young man and will make a good oflicer. Tue Star will keep its readers post- ed on the whereabouts of this company of Frosty Sons of Thunder, how the boys are getting along, ete. Now is the time to subscribe. we The Dunkers’ Love-Feast. “The most important and the most beautiful custom of the Dunkers is their love feast, which they celebrate in commemoration of the Lord’s Sup- per, after the manner of the primitive Christians,” writes Clifford Howard in describing the cinstoms of the Dunkers of Ephrata, Lancaster county, Penn- sylvania, in the July Ladies’ Home Journal. “The celebration is held at nightfall, and begins with the rite of | feet-washing, in imitation’ of the act pperformed by the Master of the Last | | Supper, when He washed the feet of { His disciples. Small tubs of lukewarm { water are brought in, and those about | to receive the ordinance remove their shoes and stuckings. The brothers! then in turn, each ene girding himgelf with a towel, wash and dry one angth- ers’ feet ; the sisters at the same time doing likewise among themselves in their part of the room. After this follows the supper, the feast of love, which is spread on long tables, and consists of lamb soup and bread, and other simple viands. It is eaten in devout solemnity and rever- ence. At the close of the meal the brothers turn to one another and ex- tend the right hand of fellowship and the kiss of peace, each one shaking hands with his neighbor and kissing; while the sisters at their tables perform the same beautiful rite among them- selves. The communion is then ad- ministered. : ea ALMOST A LYNCHING. A Maryland Man Got His ‘‘Medicine”’ in Salisbury for Sympathiz- ing with Spain. Last Saturday evening a man known as “Cel” McKenzie, from Garrett coun- ty, Md., walked into C. T. I1ay’s saloon, where he found a number of men look- ing over a newspaper giving an account of the fighting at Santiago between the American and Spanish forces. McKen- zie listened to the reading of the news, and upon hearing it read that four or five hundred American troops were killed and wounded, he expressed great satisfaction at the American loss and said he hoped that every American soldier at Santiago would be killed, or words to that effect. He repeated his assertion several times, but American blood could no longer stand the insult, and at that stage of the game, Ed. Swartzwelder stepped up and dealt him a blow in the face that felled him like an ox in a slaughter house. McKenzie laid where he fell for about 20 minutes. lIior a time he was believed to be dead, and no one present would have been sorry if such would have proved to be the case. After a time, however, he regained consciousness and | went to another part of the town,where | the blood was washed from his worth- less carcass, and a little latter he was | surrounded by a mob of angry citizens, ! who talked freely of lynching him. One man had already secured a rope, and the anger of the crowd was grow- ing fiercer and fiercer, when Burgess L. C. Boyer arrived upon the scene and led McKenzie to a place of safety. The | Burgess did not interfere any too soon, for there is little doubt that he would | have been strung up as a traitor to his | country, had matters been allowed to take the course they were rapidly drift- | ing in. While Tne Star regrets exceedingly to chronicle news of this kind, yet we have no sympathy for McKenzie or any other man who will make use of trea- | sonable remarks during such times as | these. Swartzwelder did exactly right in slugging him, and had he killed him on the spot, no loyal American citizen would have shed any tears. This is a harsh saying, but we believe it is true. It is passing strange that men who were born and reared in America, as McKenzie was, and who enjoy citizen- | ship in the most enlightened and most | liberty-giving nation in the world, will | talk disparagingly of their fellow coun- | trymen who have gone to the front to | bare their breasts to the bullets of a! foreign foe. If a Spanish citizen would talk against Spain in his own country, ! he would be speedily executed, and | that is what should be done with trait- | ors here. Men of MecKenzie’s stripe ought to emigrate to Spain, if this coun- try dogs not suit them. We can get along without such cattle here. So long as this war is on; Spain is the oppressor of the down- | trodden Cubans; so long as there is a Spanish bullet fired toward an Amer- ican soldier, the sentiment of Tuk Star will be: Remember the Maine and to! h——1 with Spain. That sentiment is good enough for good Americans, and those who do not like it can go to Hali- | fax, or to Spain, or to Hades, we don’t | care which. THE "MOUNTAIN FEUD, | It was on the Verge of an Outbreak | at Middlecreek Lovefeast. We have not heard much for several months of the factional feud in the! moonshine district, but it is not dead, | reports the Somerset Standard. 1t is | simply smoldering, and may be expeot- | ed to break out at any time with a eon- siderable loss of life. This is the same old feud that led te the murder of “Yoney” Hochstetler, | several years ago, for which two mem- | bers of the “Freundschatt” have served | | terms in the penitentiary,and by which “Billy” Pritts, that wily old denizen of the mountain, has beeome notorious, This feud, which originated with two families, and probably grew out of their | | connection with the moonshine busi- ness, has existed for years, but so long | Dr. | Lunatic Assylum, testifies in i report to the value ot the bicycle as an i speaking of the patients under his ¢ I here have become alarmed «tt so long as |’ | editor, “beeause the year doc as it did not result in the loss of life, the participants were allowed to fight it out. The murder of **Yoney” Hoch-- stetler removed one of the leading: spirits of the feud and brought the- hand of the law down upon others. This shaking up startled the origina- tors of the feud, who have grown gray in its pursuit, and they have allowed it to smolder ; but the younger members. of the families seem to have inherited the spirit of revenge, ‘and it has spread until the whole mountainside is divid- ed into two warring factions. They never come together without throwing: down the gauntlet, and it is ouly a question of time when more blood will be spilled. It was thought that the “mountain boys” would come down to the Middle- creek lovefeast, last Saturday, in force, and the management expecting trouble, asked Sheriff Hartzell to be ground to prevent an outbreak. The Sheriff went down, and his pres- ence barely averted what might have terminated in a very bloody encounter. The younger parties of the fead were there as expected, probably fifteen in number, and while service was being held, with several hundred people in attendance, the warring factions form- ed a ring only a few yards from the church, and a member of each faction. stepped into the ring to do battle. It was evident that each faction was well fired with “moonshine,” and there is no. doubt that the intention was to let the. fight be to a finish, and that the end would not have been reached until every member present, of both factions, had taken a hand. But Sheriff Hart- zell interfered, and by telling the com- batants that their offense was no ordi- nary one, and that on a charge of dis- turbing a religious meeting the leaders would have certainly been landed in the penitentiary, he succeeded in pre- venting the encounter there. But the battle has only been delayed. It. is bound to come sooner later. The feud is deep seated, and only gore. on the or | will satisfy the ARLSBORIsS. Cyaling and Insanity. New York Tribune.

Mark Twain’s Yolk Mark Twain, when startin on ¢ tour round the world, told an interviewer at Winnipeg how he often felt “cut loose” from civilization away by himself where he could run and yell to his heart’s content. In this connection there is a story about the humorist and Canon Kingsiey. Walk- ing along the streetsone day, Mark felt the impulse to yell coming on him with irresistible force, and said to Kingsley 2 “I want to yell; I must yell.” The Canon said,“ All right, yell away ; I don’t mind.” “And with that,” said Mark, “1 step~ | ped back a few steps and, throwing my | arms above my head, let out a war- whoop that eould be heard for miles, and in less time than you eould count, Canon Kingsley and myself were sur- rounded by a multitude of anxious citi zens who wanted ta know what wasthe matter, I just wanted to yell, and had ngo x ee “ LDSOT; tems a desire to and to get | yelled. rr —— Satisfying Him. “I have eanlled” said the eaptious eritie, “to find out what reascn yo: can give for representing the new »¢ "as a nude small boy.” “That is done,” responded he arg ol get its close till the 31st of Decen. 7 Then the eaptious critic w and nrake his nice new pledg:.. out
