THE SCULL RING MUG.
How it Changed Expression at Va-
rious Stages of the Late Politi-
cal Game.
Three weeks before the election when
the Scull gang felt sure of vietory.
Last week of the campaign, when mat-
ters were looking a little “spicious”
to the Scullions.
It showed surprise when “Polly Gin-
dlesperger” (Ed. Werner, Democrat,)
was not permitted to vote.
It showed all signs of anger when Pro-
hibitionist Ed. Hoover was turned
away from the polls.
It expressed disgust when the vote of
Somerset borough was announced.
It looked real sick when the returns
from Salisbury and Garrett were re-
ceived.
And this isthe way the old Scull “Phys”
has been looking ever since the re-
sult in the county is known.

THE BEST FAMILY SALVE.
DeWitt’s Witch Hazel gives instant
relief from Burns, cures Cuts, Bruises,
Sores, Eczema, Tetter and all abrasions

Salve it is only necessary to see that
you get the genuine DeWitt’s and a
cure is certain. There are many cheap
counterfeits on the market, all of which
are worthless, and quite a few are
dangerous, while DeWitt’s Witch Ha-
zel Salve is perfectly harmless and

Tne Republican voters of Somerset
county on Saturday obeyed the time-
worn injunction: “Never put off ’till
to-morrow what you can do to-day.”
They annihilated the Scull gang of
bolters, and by their ballots served no-
tice that they can expect but little
sympathy from true Republicans.—

THE Congressional conference for
this district convened in Harrisburg,
Wednesday of last week. As per
former agreement of “the powers that
be” in Greene, Fayette and Somerset
counties, Hon. Allan F. Cooper, our |
present popular and efficient congress- |
man was renominated. The nominee
is highly satisfactory to the district,
and he will be triumphantly elected in
November.
By a harmonious arrangement of the
politicians of Fayette, Somerset and
Greene counties, Hon. F. M. Fuller, of
Fayette, and Captain Crago, of Greene.
will represent our congressional dis-
trict as delegates in the Republican
National convention. Their alternates
are Hons. S. A. Kendall and N. B.
Critchfield. Our Ex-Sheriff Good has
been chosen as a Presidential elector.
The arrangement is satisfactory all
around.

Tue Somerset Standard refers to the
editor of the Meyersdale Commercial
as old Mrs. Lou Smith. The Standard
is in error, for the old bat never was
married. It is old Miss Lou Smith, and
the figety old thing has been missing it
on every political nove she has made
in the last five years. There was once
a time when old Miss Lou should have
been married, but Lord pity any one
that would want to make a match with
her now, even in a political way.

however, he passed through town on a
horse that was going at Dan Patch

meant. Dan replied that Dr. R. M.

had just phoned to the “old man” to
come down quick, bring old Mrs. John
N. Davis's camphor bottle along and
help get old Miss Lou Smith out of her
after-election trance.
Tue poor oid Somerset Herald is
still sobbing, slobbering, blubbering,
bellowing, howling, scowling. scolding,
crying and lying about the late Re-
publican primary election. But “let
the galled jade wince,” for its howls
and wails are music to our ears, and it
demonstrates that green cucumbers
are not the only producers of bellyache.
Thus, in a measure, is the green cu-
cumber vindicated, and thus, with its
treasure, is the green Scull gang anni-
hilated. The choir will now please put
away its peanuts and screetch the
funeral dirge, and the true Republicans
will come forward with their tin cans,
dead cats, rotten mackerel, ete., to
decorate the grave of party treachery.

CAREER OF JOHN P. ELKIN.
Sketch of Life of Republican Nomi-
nee for Supreme Judge.
John'P. Elkin, named for Supreme
Court Justice, was born in West Ma-
honing township, Indiana county, Pa.,
January 11, 1860. In 1874 his father,
Francis Elkin, with others, founded at
Wellsville, O., the American Tia Plate
Company, which erected the first tin
plate mill in this country. In this mill
John P. Elkin worked during several
of hisboyhood years. He was educated
in the common schools of Smicksburg,
Indiana county, and at the Indiana
Normal School. At the age of 15 he
began teaching school, an occupation
he followed for several years. In 1882
he entered the law department of the
University of Michigan and graduated
two years later. .
In the same year he was admitted to
the bar of Indiana county and was also
elected a member of the Pennsylvania
House of Representatives. Two years
later he was re-elected. He was a del.
egate to a number of Pennsylvania
Republican State conventions and per-
manent chairman of that of 1891. For
several years he was chairman of the
Republican State committee. For
nearly three years he was deputy at-
torney general under Attorney General
McCormick, and was appointed attor-
ney general by Governor Stone, which
position he held during the latter’s en-
tire administration. He was the most
prominent candidate for the Republi-
can nomination for Governor two years
ago, but was defeated by Senator Quay
abandoning him for Judge Penny-
packer.
ARE YOU A DYSPEPTIC?
If you are a dyspeptic you owe it to
yourself and your friends to get well.
Dyspepsia annoys the dyspeptie’s
friends because his disease sours his
disposition as well as his stomach.
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure will not only
cure dyspepsia, indigestion and sour
stomach, but this palatable, reconstruec-
tive tonic digestant strengthens the
whole digestive apparatus, and sweet-
ens the life as well as the stomach.
When you take Xodol Dyspepsia Cure
the food you eat is enjoyed. It is di-
gested, assimilated and its nutrient
properties appropriated by the blood
| and tissues. Health is the result.

A Few After Election Echoes from
the Somerset Standard.
If you want something soft to put
under your carpet call on J. C. Lowry
for a bundle of the first and last issue
of his Taxpayer.
The bolters talk of carrying their
fake into the Dauphin county court.
If they do they had better take an un-
dertaker along to bring it home.
With but two exceptions every cans
didate on the Scull ticket was defeated
in his home district, and in every dis-
trict in the county where he has ever
lived.
That crowd of Scull candidates who
were chasing about Somerset on that
Saturday night three weeks ago to find
Carl Shaffer probably are now sorry
they found him.
The editor of the Taxpayer trusts
that its millions of patrons will bear
patiently with its absence till he can
get out of the Bolters’ hospital. His
symptoms are those of grip, accom-
panied by a feeling of goneness, and a
dark brown taste. His temperature is
105 in the shade, and respiration some-
what jerky.
You needn’t wonder why the Bozoo
sent up a ten-by-twelve howl this week.
It’s only trying to let its candidates
down without “busting” them. Tt made
its candidates believe that “anti-court-
house” was an issue (and they were
about the only persons who did believe
it), and then it pulled their legs to an
unnatural length. It is now trying to
keep them from seeing the fake.
There’s Meyersdale, the home of Mrs.
Lou Smith and her Gatlin’ Gun. What
do you think would have happened
over there if Mrs. Smith had been per-
mitted to fire one more volley of court-
house tacks? The thought chills to
the very marrow. What the Regulars
did to the Old Lady was enough, dear
knows ; but what they might have done
if the Old Girl had had one more fit is
appalling even to think of.
Judge Sulzberger of Philadelphia, in
the trial of an election case said: “A
man can’t be a Republican and at the
same time be a leader of the hosts that
are trying to defeat the Republican
party.” Under this ruling, which is in
entire harmony with both justice and
common sense, the whole Scull crowd
should have been turned away from
the polling place at Somerset, last Sat-
urday, for they have been “leading the
hosts that have been trying to defeat
the Republican party” for the last five
years.
The polls had not been open long
when Ed. Hoover presented himself to
vote. but Barron told him he could not
do so, as that was a Republican pri-
mary, at which only Republicans could
vote. At the Spring election Hoover
declared himself to be a Prohibitionist
(don’tlaugh), and presented a watcher’s
certificate which he said was his au-
thority from that party to remain in
the election room. Being a Prohibition-
ist, therefore, he had no right to vote
at a Republican primary. Later came
Aleck Postlethwaite, who was one of
the sponsors for the “Citizens” party at
the spring election, and he was turned
away, as he should have been.

One Minute Cough Cure gives immedi-
ate relief in all cases of Cough, Croup
and LaGrippe because it does not pass
immediately into the stomach, but
takes effect right at the seat of the
trouble. It draws out the inflamma-
tion, heals and soothes and cures per-
manently by enabling the lungs to
contribute pure life-giving and life-
sustaining exygen to the blood and tis-

Meyersdale Has a Carrie Nation.
Whatever else the bustling Metrop-
olis may lack, she comes to the front
with a saloon smasher that bids fair to
force the Kansas Carrie to look to her
laurels. One evening last week she
invaded one of Meyersdale’s hotels,
where she found her luckless spouse
“up against” a large schooner of that
which promises eventually to make the
town famous. With introductory re-
marks that would not look well in
print, she grabbed the glass, and, dash-
ing its contents in the face of her thor-
oughly dismayed husband, threw the
empty glass at the bartender, and,
missing its mark, narrowly escaped the
cash register and several other expen-
sive furnishings back of the bar. She
then grabbed her recreant husband by
the ear and led him home, where he is
repenting his folly, and computing the
interest upon his large holdings in re-
alty, ete., in that borough.—Rockwood

SALISBURY. FLK LICK POSTOFFICE, PA., THURSDAY, APRIL 14. 1904.
ELAINE ROZE'S NEW YORK
LETTER.
The Oriental Era in Dress and Per-
fumes—Dress for Out-0f-Door
Life.
Out-of-door life the woman of to-day
will have, and whether golfing, riding
automobiling or walking, as her taste
or purse may indicate, she must be
suitably gowned. No longer are her
gowns for more formal wear given pree-
edence, but she recognizes the impor-
tance of making a judicious selection
of her gown for general wear, for un-
doubtedly she will be more often seen
in it than in any other.
Let it be trig and neat—jaunty as
she likes, but never “fussy.” Let it be
of material that is comfortable, stylish,
and of all things weather-defying,
which is entirely possible in these days
of rain-proofed cloths.
The vast majority of New York wom-
ankind face the April vagaries of Dame
Nature fearlessly, in serviceable gowns
of bright mohair or nattily woven mix-
tures of Australian wool and silk.
Priestley cravenetted, these frocks
give to the wearer a smart appearance
if the sun is shining, and an equally
up-to-date look if caught in a shower.
In my illustration is depicted one of
these ideal gowns, worn with a wash-
able white silk, lace-trimmed waist.
The little kimona here shown is a bit
of prettiness that the dawn of the Or-
iental era in dress has brought us.
There has never been anything more
picturesque than the kimona with
which the Japanese beauty has co-
quettishly, with the true grace of ar-
tistic temperament, draped her form
for more generations than exist in Oec-
cidental records of attire.
For many years we have been appre-
ciative of the beauties of Oriental fab-
rics, as adapted to cozy corners and
negligee garments, but to-day these
exquisite creations are receiving en-
thusiastic recogition in their use in the
construction of dainty gowns, and hap-
py is she who has a bit of Oriental em-
broidery or a scarf that she can fashion
into a fascinating stock or charming
bodice.
And the popularity of the Oriental
atmosphere has permeated the perfume
field, and were until recently milady’s
every movement recalled to us the
scent of some familiar flower, we are
now wafted back, in the quaint odor of
Vantine’s Sandalwood, to our child-
hood’s recollections of the dear old
sandalwood fan.
The dress skirt worn with the charm-
ing negligee garment of the Flowery
Kingdom is one of the most modish
creations in cream Peau de Crepe,
which has taken front rank among silks
for shirtwaist and lingerie purposes, as
well as for gowns for formal occasions,
and in white is one of the leading silks
for wedding gowns. ErLAINE Rozk.
A THOUGHTFUL MAN.
M. M. Austin, of Winchester, Ind.
knew what to do in the hour of need.
His wife had such an unusual case of
stomach and liver trouble, physicians
could not help her. He thought of and

she got relief at once and was finally
cured. Only 25¢, at E. H. Miller's

The Only Wines Fit For Invalids.
The chemical change that takes place
in wine while ageing and depositing its
unhealthy parts is too little understood
and appreciated. It is wonderfully

number of years extracts its unhealthy
