EARTHQUAKE VICTIMS.
Former Salisbury People Among
the Sufferers Being Heard
From.
W. S. Livengood and Family, and
Levi Cochrane Among Those
Who Experienced the Awful
Horrors of San Franeisco
Earthquake.
The editor of this paper and other
Salisbury people were in awful sus-
pense since the great earthquake de-
stroyed the city of San Francisco,
Wednesday morning, April 18th. We
are glad to report, however, that good
tidings have been received by the edi-
tor and others, within the past two
days, concerning the dear ones they
were so anxious about.
Mrs. Archie Cochrane received a
letter from her son Levi, Tuesday af-
ternoon, and by her kind permission we
will here publish it.
_ OAKLAND, CAL. Apr. 19.
DrArR MorsER:—I thought 1 would
drop you a few lines to let you know
the I am safe. I suppose you are wor-
ried.
Well, for the earthquake, it wae ter-
rible. I was in bed when it started,
and it threw us out of bed. We ran
out on the street with no clothes on.
Then the fires started, and from that
on it was fierce.
1 was up from 6.15 till now. From
noon, yesterday. you could not buy
anything to eat for love or money, and
then there was no drinking water to be
had. The earthquake broke the water
mains.
I left at 10 o’clock today, and the
fire was burning as fierce as ever. The
papers will tell the truth this time, for
it is so bad.
There are thousands here without
any money or anything else. You can
see all about it in the papers, and I
will write more when I get settled. I
am writing this in a park, but am going
to leave here. I don’t know where I
will go.
From your loving son, LEVI.
Yesterday afternoon the editor re-
ceived the following postal card mes-
sage from his brother, W. 8. Livengood:
San Francisco, CAL, April 20.
Dear BroTrHER:—We escaped the
catastrophe O. K. Camped out on
sand lots last two nights. Devastation
of three-fourths of city is total. Con-
flagration was scene of indescribable
terror and grandeur. Will write you
particulars as soon as I get opportunity.
Expect to get away for Portland, Ore-
gon, in few days. Thankful to be
alive. Hastily, WiLL.
Miss Jenet McKinley, a sister of S.
R. McKinley, our Burgess, is also in
the earthquake helt, residing at ®an
Jose, Cal., where many lives were also
lost, and much property destroyed.
Miss McKinley, however, is safe, and
has notified her friends here to that
effect.
Mrs. Ruhamma Hooe, a sister of
John M. Wright, Mrs. Silas A. Wagner
and Mrs. Joseph Wagner, has not yet
been heard from, but her many friends
in Salisbury all hope to hear soon of
her safety. She has been a resident of
San Francisco for a number of years,
but is frequently away from the city
for weeks at a time, with her husband,
who is a commercial salesman.
For full particulars of the earth-
quake, consult our inside pages, where
a good account of it will be found.
A CHANCE FOR SATISFACTION.
If you ever bought a box of Witch
Hazel Salve that failed to give satisfac-
tion the chances are it did not have the
name “E. C. DeWitt & Co.” printed on
the wrapper and pressed in the box.
The original DeWitt’'s Witch Hazel
Salve never fails to give satisfaction for
burns, sores, boils, tetter, cracked
hands, ete. For blind, bleeding, itching
and protruding Piles it offords almost
immediate relief. It stops the pain.

POTS AND KETTLES.
Commenting on the statement of the
Uniontown Standard, that Congress-
man Cooper’s appointments in Somer-
set county would be of “the regular
Republican sort, and not of the hybrid
class for which the Meyersdale Com-
mercial stands,” the Johnstown Demo-
crat says:
This leaves a shade of uncomfortable
doubt, because no one seems to know
who is a Republican of the regular sort
in good old Somerset, or who is of that
hybrid class for which the Standard has
so wholesome a contempt. Republi-
canism is worse mixed in Somerset than
ever the two Dromios were Not even
a trained Somerset politician has been
able at all times to know just “where
he was at.” The regular of to-day is
found to be the insurgent of to-morrow.
The man who was an anti yesterday we
find to-day sitting in high places of
regularity. The changes have been
kaleidoscopically and spectacularly
confusing, and to keep track of them is
beyond the power of any man who has
anything else in the world to do.
There is more truth than jest in this
observation of a Democratic organ.
The Republican factions of Somerset
county haven’t much room to hoot at
each other’s “regularity.” They have
all ‘exercishd their independence at
divers times and in divers manners.
The pots and kettles are all black.
There’s no use in calling names. Get
together and be good, and all will be
forgiven.—Connellsville Courier.
THE STAR admits that there is much
truth in the above, yet there is con-
siderable difference in the “regularity”
claims of the two Republican factions
in Somerset county. The Scull faction,
or the self-styled Stalwarts, used to
denounce every Republican as a half-
breed who refused to vote for the Scull
slate at Republican primaries, no mat-
ter how loyally those same misnamed
half-breeds supported the nominated
ticket at the fall elections.
When the Scull faction had the party
organization in its grasp, the leaders
would induce as many Republicans as
they possibly could to announce for
nomination at the primaries. Then,
after the announcement fees were all
paid, the Scull gang would hold a little
meeting in the office of the Somerset
Herald (Scull’s paper) and decide on a
slate. The candidates who were sup-
posed to be the most obedient to the
dictates of the Scull family, and the
ones most willing to be bled, were
slated for nomination, and the money
paid by the other candidates, for an-
nouncement fees, to a Scull family
treasurer, was used to elect the candi-
dates on the Scull family slate, and to
defeat the other men whom the Sculls
had induced to run by pretending to
support them, but in reality only to
furnish the substance wherewith to
feather the Scull family nest.
That was the plan, and all who re-
fused to support the Scull family favor-
ites, were denounced as soreheads,
half-breeds, independents, etc. But in
spite of all the hard names applied to
the anti-Scull faction, that faetion
abided by the nominations made at the
regular primaries, year after year, and
at no time did they bolt the party
ticket, except away back in 1882, when
there was a general revolt in Somerset
county against the Republican ticket,
and the newspaper leading the revolt
was the Meyersdale Commercial.
The independents were defeated in
that campaign, as they deserved to be,
and then the Commercial at once
posed as a Stalwart Republican organ
of the most pronounced type. It railed
for years thereafter at Republicans
who supported the regular party nomi-
nees right along, and who never bolted
a regular Republicanjnominee in their
lives.
It was customary in those days for
the Scull family to announce for nomi-
nation a big lot of candidates as Re-
publicans, but when the primary was
held, then only those on the Scull slate
were called Republican, and the voter
who had the courage to vote for any of
the other candidates that this same
Scull family announced as Republicans:
and relieved of their money, such a
voter was immediately denounced as a
traitor, a sorehead, a half-breed, an in-
dependent, etc.
Naturally, the Sculls met their Wa-
terloo, as all political brigands and
grafters do. But the faction that over-
threw the carrupt Scull dynasty gained
the victory within the ranks of the
party. The anti-Scull men abided by
the nominations that were made, and
by their party loyalty finally got con-
trol of the party organization.
The vanquished and dethroned Scull
faction, however, has been pursuing a
different course. Ever since they are
out of the saddle, they have been tak-
ing a hand in the nominations, but just
as regularly they have been found bolt-
ing the Republican ticket in the fall
trying to defeat the regular Republi-
can nominees by fusing with Demo-
erats, Socialists or any old party that
is foolish enough to mix with such an
infernal dirty aggregation as the old
Scull gang of brigands and political
highwaymen.
We have now related the principal
difference between the two factions,
and every word is true. That both
factions have resorted to corrupt prac-
tices at primaries, at various times, is
a fact that no honest man will attempt
to deny. But the fact remains that all
corrupt tactics resorted to were usher-
ed into existence by the Scull faction,
and when the other faction resorted to
corruption, it was only a case of fight-
ing the devil with his own weapons, the
only ones that could win under the
circumstances.
As for THE STAR, we are heartily glad
that the Uniform Primary law and the
Corrupt Practices law have been pass-
ed, and we believe all honest men, re-
gardless of faction or party, take the
same view of it. Like the Courier, we
think it is about time to stop calling
names, all get together and be good.
1t does look a good deal like the pot
calling the kettle black, at times, but
the anti-Scull kettle at its very Dblack-
est, is many shades lighter and eleaner
than the Scull pot. And, besides, the
Scull pot may well be likened unto the
kind that are first cousins to the little
buildings usually found at the rear
end of country village lots.
HUMAN BLOOD MARKS.
A tale of horror was told by marke of
human blood in the home of J. W. Wil-
liams, a well known merchant of Bac,
Ky. He writes: “Twenty years ago I
had severe hemorrhages of the lungs,
and was'near death when I began tak-
ing Dr, King’s New Discovery. Itcom-
pletely cured me and I have remained
well ever since.” It cures Hemor-
rhages, Chronic Coughs, Settled Colds
and Bronchitis, and is the only known
cure for Weak Lungs. Every bottle
guaranteed by E. H. Miller, druggist.

UP TO THE SCHOOL BOARWD.
Hon. J. W. Endsley Again Offers to
be of Service to Our Schools.
The following letter from Hon. J. W.
Endsley explains itself:
SOMERFIELD, PA., Apr. 21, 1906.
EpiTor STAR: —I was much surprised
today on reading THE Star to find that
your school board had not accepted
the exhibit from the Commercial Mu-
seum, of Philadelphia. I was particu-
larly desirous that the schools of Salis-
bury should receive one of these fine
collections, as I am sure they would
appreciate it, and the cost of installing
it need not*necessarily have been ex-
pensive. I will be glad to take the
matter up again for them, if they
should desire it, and see if I cannot yet
secure a collection for them.
Yours Very Truly,
J. W. ENDSLEY.
It is now up to the Salisbury school
board to show the patrons of the
schools whether they have enough in-
terest in our schools to accept a costly,
valuable and very useful collection
when it is offered to them free of
charge, or whether there is veal and
mutton enough in the board to let the
offer go by without being taken advan-
tage of, as was the case about two years
ago.
Feeling an interest in our schools,
and desiring to see them equipped as
well as the other borough schools of
the county, we hope the present board
will act promptly, take advantage of
Representative Endsley’s kind offer
and get the collection here as quickly
as possible. To do otherwise, our
school directors would be branding
themselves as men not abreast with the
age, and as men utterly unfit to preside
over the destinies of our schools.
