BLOOD POISONING KILLS JOE THOMAS
Mr. Thomas was hit on the leg by a huge stone, as a result of a blast, and was brought to the hospital, where it was seen that amputation of the limb was necessary in order to save his life. He was told this by attending physicians, but he refused to have his leg amputated, and blood poisoning set in causing his death.

GOOD ROADS LIVE ISSUE IN OPEQUON
Three Meetings Are Scheduled For Next Week—Some Opposition Develops. The farmers interested in the special election to be held in Opequon district Tuesdayay, May 9, are making an aggressive campaign in the interest of the increased levy, and during next week will hold meetings and invite the farmers, as well as everybody interested in good roads, to attend and hear the question discussed.
At the meeting held last night at the Fairview school house there were more than 40 farmers in attendance. The question was discussed in all its different phases and all appeared in hearty accord with the movement. A motion prevailed that a meeting be held Tuesday, May 2, at Bowers' store, Berkeley Station, at Ridenour's school house Thursday, May 4, and at the Fairview school house, near Swan Pond. Friday, May 5. These meetings will be held in the evening.
While the sentiment appears very much in favor of the movement there is an undercurrent of opposition, which must be overcome. The leaders believe if everybody will attend the meetings next week and hear the question fully explained the opposition will be very small.
TODAY'S ODDEST STORY
RIVERSIDE, Cal., April 27.—A party of sportsmen left here today for the Southern reaches of the San Jacinto mountains to hunt American camels.
E. C. Beach, a prospector, brought the story that a drove of fifteen camels was seen within a few miles of Salton Sea, at the base of the San Jacintos. The camels were introduced for desert travel more than half a century ago, and when the venture was given up the animals were left to shift for themselves.

Italian, Injured at South Quarries, Refused to Have Leg Amputated and Dies. As a result of injuries received while at work at the South quarries several days ago, Joe Thomas, an Italian, died this morning in a local hospital, where he has been a patient since the accident.
The deceased was unmarried and was about 30 years of age, most of which he had lived in the United States, although being born in Italy. The body was taken to Undertaker Wiyen's establishment, and the funeral will take place probably Saturday from St. Joseph's church. Interment will be in St. Joseph's cemetery.
LABOR TROUBLES ENDED AT LAST
LABOR TROUBLES ENDED AT LAST
Or at Least for Those Years Following Settlement Between Operators and Miners.
Labor wars and lesser labor troubles, which have made Cabin Creek, West Virginia, one of the most famous spots in American industrial affairs, are now a thing of the past for at least three long years. The final signing of a contract of three years duration has been effected by the coal operators and the United Mine Workers of America, and officials of the national body are highly satisfied with the high rate of wage increase which they have gained for the men in that district.
All of the men who struck on April first have returned to their work with the bright prospect of three years of peace and plenty of work. The mines are all going full blast and Cabin Creek will cease to be a place of trouble and turmoll.

BIG SENSATION IS NOW BREWING
Many Indictments Expected to Be Returned at Wheeling Federal Court Term.
Col. Stuart W. Walker, United States district attorney for the northern district of West Virginia has gone to Wheeling where he and Assistant United States District Attorney J. J. P. O'Brien are preparing the cases that are to be presented to the United States grand jury which convenes there Tuesday morning, May 3.
"The work of this grand jury will be unusually heavy." District Attorney Walker stated to a reporter at the office of Assistant District Attorney O'Brien. "We expect to have between 30 and 50 indictments returned, many of them big felony indictments."
"Will the Central Station robbery cases be presented to this grand jury?" Mr. Walker was asked.
"They probably will." Mr. Walker replied. "We are now engaged in unraveling the case and while I cannot go into details at this time I have no hesitancy in making this assertion. That when the case is unraveled, it will be the most important and most amazing upturning of prominent criminals, in my judgment, that has ever been made in America."
A number of postoffice inspectors, Mr. Walker said, who have been engaged in the investigation of the Central Station robbery will be in Wheeling to attend the federal court term.
Mr. Walker went to Wheeling thus far in advance of the opening of the court term so that the preparation of cases can be as complete as possible when the grand jury convenes so that the government will not be under more expense than is necessary in keeping grand jurors and witnesses there.

DR. GERHARDT CONTRASTS BANQUETS ON EARTH AND BANQUETS IN HEAVEN

MAY 6, 1910. VO
DR. GERHARDT CONT
ON EARTH AND B
(By REY, WM, GERHARDT, D. D.)
It has become quite customary in recent years for fraternal orders, and other associations of various kinds to celebrate anniversaries or other important events in their history by banquets.
Whatever may have been the character of such celebrations in past ages, it is gratifying, and goes without saying, that in our days banquets have assumed a type more orderly and moral, as is evident from the fact that churches and Christian associations have fallen in line with this custom.
Biennots, if properly conducted, have their uses. Aside from the enjoyment of menu, the social features must predominate, and the speeches must be pure and instructive; all of which will tend to brighten on the links of the chain that unite brother with brother and induce them to preserve harmony and concord which are osseutical in their efforts and laborors to the success of the association whatever it may be; for "in union there is strength."
"The writer approves of such banquets as are above described, for he himself has attended several and can vouch for the moral tone that characterized the celebration.
But the main object of the writer of this article is to direct the mind to that banquet alluded in Cantiches 2:14—"He brought me to the banqueting-house; His banner all over me was love." A banquet as high above those on earth, as heaven is higher than earth, and infinitely brighter, as the sun is brighter than the tapers that vanishes in its glow.
No mortal can lift the veil, and with his short-sighted mental vision raze into that realm of glory; and were it allowed he could not find words to describe it. Thus feels the

WEST VIRGINIA HAS SOME INDUSTRIES
Census Bureau Compiles Data Relative to the Industries In This State.
Manufacturing in West Virginia increased materially in the period between 1909 and 1914, according to figures just compiled by the United States Census Bureau. Special census data were collected in those two years in all parts of the country and the figures are coming out gradually. Statistics for the West Virginia cities have been published and the summary for the state is now complete. Increases ranging as high as 33 per cent are shown in the different items listed in connection with the industrial centers.
The number of industrial establishments in the state increased from 2.4
586 in 1969 to 2,749 in 1914, or 6.3 per cent. The number of persons engaged in manufactures increased from
74,463 to 79,278, or 10.9 per cent. The total of salaries and wages paid increased from $28,710,000 to $51,378,000
or 32.7 per cent. Salaries increased 33 per cent and wages 32.7 per cent. The capital invested increased from $150,923,000 to $175,727,000, or 18.4
per cent. The value of the products of these industrial establishments increased from $28,710,000 to $51,378,000
or 20.9 per cent, while the value added by manufacture, or the value of the products less the cost of materials, increased from $69,072,000 to
$82,479,000.

Seated at that table, he says, I hope to meet the Lamb of God, presiding, together with scraphs, cherubim, angels and archangels, parrilarchs, prophets, martyrs and saints, and there, too, I will meet again my departed loved ones, and glorified ones, and all in unison singing the song of Moses and the Lamb,—guest talking to guest with bounding hearts, recounting their Lord's dealing, resting now from all the disquietude of this world's sin.
One moment at that table—one crumb of the heavenly manna,—one draught from the river of life, and all the bitter experience of this valley of tears will be obliterated and forgotten.
To us this is all yet a great mystery; but will be revealed to those who keep the faith, fight the good fight, gain the victory, and fall asleep in Jesus.

SOME CRACK SHOTS;
WEST VIRGINIA SIXTH
The army officers in charge of the Intercollegiate Rifle league, have completed their summaries for the season just closed, and the report shows that West Virginia University's team finished sixth in Division A with an aggregate score of 12,909 out of a possible 13,0000. The teams which finished ahead of West Virginia were Michigan Aggies, Washington State, Norwich, Massachusetts Aggies, and Cornell in the order named.
The Michigan Aggies made a wonderful record of 12,998 out of a possible 13,000, and the Washington State team was only one point behind. Both of these teams show perfect scores in 11 out of 13 matches, but the Washington State gunners made 998 and 999 in their two off matches while the Aggies made 999 each time they fell below perfect.
Columbia University won the championship of Class C with 12.654.

WHY I CAN'T SUPPORT THE HON GEORGE M. BOWERS.
Is this man a safe and fit one to represent honest and truthful citizens in congress? Let's see. Twenty-four years ago he read me out of the Republican party because I, as he declared, "forced Dayton on us" as Elkins, and swore I should never have any recognition in Berkeley county, long as he lived, and I didn't until two years ago, when he was nominated for congress.
Meeting in the Union station, Washington, D. C., one night, for thirty odd minutes, he intertwined me to forget and forgive and support him to no effect, and several times in Martinsburg with the same result. "You make congressmen," he said, "and I am advised I must get you." Others tried to enlist my aid but failed. Finally Dr. S. N. Myers plead with me fully two weeks, and to please him I consented, and Mr. Bowers was so informed.
So delighted was he, without any solicitation or expectation on my part, he said, "Clifford, win or lose. I am going to give you the trip of your life. I want you to go to the Pan-American Exposition over the Canadian Pacific railroad at my expense. Stop off at the principal cities and meet my friends to whom I'll give you letters, and when you get to San Francisco." (John's vision on the Isle of Palmos of angel's glory) is only a little more glorious, than what I was to have, and all at his expense. I was not to come back in a hurry but stay two or three months. He was defeated and not a word have I heard about that trip. On the honor of a man I would not have gone had he done so.
He said, "Clifford, Meade has an old car that has run a quarter of a million miles. Take it and have it looked over. It won't cost much, and let me know what it is." I took it for granted that he meant to pay the bill, and took it to a garage, and the boss said: "Ten or twelve dollars." Of course I didn't offer to pay the bill because I expected Mr. Bowers to do that.
The next time we met he said: "Meade and I are on the outs. You give me your note for a hundred and thirty-five dollars and I'll take it up." In good faith I did so. After the election was over I got a bill from the garage for $42.50, and the following December a notice that on a certain Gate my note would be due. I phoned to the bank of which Mr. Bowers was and is president, denying I had a note in the bank and paid no more attention to it. Protest followed. I called on Mr. Bowers for explanation. He said it was my note and "I am not going to pay it." I paid principal, protest, interest and stamp costs. When I had paid it, he said: "Let me see it." I did and he tore it up and threw it into the waste basket. I gathered it up, took it home and pasted it on paper and have it.
In candor, I ask any reasonable man, white or colored, would you support and vote for such a man, had he treated you as he has me? Is such a man fit to be trusted? You may have him, I don't want him.
I had in my possession $700. It was mine on the condition that I was to vote for Mr. Bowers and the entire Republican ticket if I so desired, but was to do no work for him. After concluding to support Mr. Bowers I counted the seven hundred dollars in his presence and told him the conditions of its being mine. He said: "Keep it." I said no, and returned every cent of it, because and only because Dr. S. N. Myers had over-per-suaded me to support Mr. Bowers.
In justice to the late Hon. W. G. Brown, so far as I know, he knew nothing about the money transaction, and never said a word to me about it. I honestly believe he knew nothing about it. He was a fine man and my friend.
I supported Mr. Brown without pay on the promise that he would not do anything in congress against the colored people, and one week before he died, he said: "Mr. Clifford. I have kept my promise to you. My work is an open book, and I defy you or any other man to find one act of
Except William L. Wilson, I never had a better friend in congress than William G. Brown.
I never charged Mr. Bowers a penny for the 6 weeks I labored for him. Should I vote for him? Would you under such conditions vote for him? I say no! and no! again.

The idea of colored people going to see Dixon's infernal play and into the gallery at that. Some of the southern and many of the northern and western states have barred the accursed thing.
Hon. Samuel V. Woods, of Barbour County, the Democratic nominee who seeks the seat in Congress left vacant by the death of the late Congressman Brown, was here on Monday night last, and a record-breaking crowd was out to hear him. He is a good speaker, and those who heard him were favorably impressed with his manner of campaigning.
The candidates for office find the voters in an apathetic condition during latter day campaigns. This should not be, but every candidate for office should be thoroughly examined for fitness, and if not found wanting in the diversity requirements that go to make a good office holder, he should be given a fair trial by the electorate. Whenever and wherever this is done, complaints will be scarce as to dishonest law makers, because it will only be a natural consequence of an existing condition.

It use to be the custom for candidates to be merely perfunctory in their methods, but now some of them kiss the baby, plow a few furrows for the farmer, help "madam" churn, trim trees, and we have even heard of one who spent a portion of a recent Sunday campaigning in a certain town. This last move we guess can be explained from the fact that the exigencies of the occasion demand just such procedures.

Being an old veteran, it is not necessary, nevertheless I want it distinctly understood that I am an honest conscientious progressive republican and I heartily favor unific efforts for the coming together of the Progressives and stand-pat Republicans, and not only want West Virginia put in the hands of the Republican party, but the nation as well, and shall labor incessantly for both.

That's the way to kill the devilish play. Thank God for doubly helping every colored person whose ambition is to help, glorify and uplift him or herself.

The Negroes of West Virginia, will never amount to anything in power in politics unless they learn to sacrifice selfishness, pick out, and firmly stand by a chosen man to center on their unific support. To silently and tamely let the white man crack the nut and get all the meat out, and then kick up a rum-

COURT'S OPINION IN CLIFFORD CASE
Judge Miller Writes Opinion of State Supreme Court. Settling Controversy.
In the case of J. R. Clifford vs. the City of Martinburg, Judge Miller of the state supreme court says:
A clerical omission to enter an order actually made and essential to the maintenance of a judgment against an attack upon it by unlawful procedure, may be remedied by a nunc pro tune entry thereof after the expiration of the period of written the judgment was remedied and $ of the award of a writ of order.
Damage to property alighting upon a street, occasioned by the raising of the grade of the street above the elevation of the lot, so as materially to impair the right of access thereto and depricate the market value of the property, arep permanent in their nature. With a count in a declaration for such damages, a count for temporary damages occasioned by the collection and deposit of surface waters upon the lot, resulting from the alteration of the street, may be joined.
KEEPING HORSES SOUND
Means Much to the Farmer When His Four-footed Help Is Efficient. The horse is so much in demand at this time of the year on the farm that it is well to look into his condition and keep him in the best of strength and vigor. A state of staleness quite often so pervenes in stabled horses, as the result of long-continued regular work and especially so when the work is hard and of a rush order.
But constant work alone is not the sole cause—it is only a primary one for the usual stable dietary is likewise a factor which contributes eventually to bring about such staleness on an account of its dry character. Heavy feeding of corn, or other whole grain, especially has this tendency. Oats on tail a certain heating effect, though in themselves oats is a perfectly wholesome food, and the more heating and stimulating the diet is, the more apt is it to induce staleness. By stale condition is meant the more or less impairing of the horse's working efficiency, a' depression of the animal's vital energy, and not in its full flush of health and vigor.
The Symptoms of Staleness.
One of the most promising systems of staleness is shown when the hordeases to thrive and loses bodily condition, becoming excessively fluffy, drawn and looking somewhat tucked up in the belly, the latter being a specially characteristic sign.
The coat of the animal appears harsh and dull, presenting a "dried-up" appearance.
Another sign is seen when the horse is at work. He does not have his customary spirit and energy, but instead to a certain degree shows listlessness or lassitude while the action may lose some of his freedom and become slower. The apothecary also often becomes impaired or irregular while the legs may develop an increased tendency to become filled or puffy about the joints, after being brought in the stable or night, to well-bred, highly-strong horses, when in this condition, will show increasing irritability and nervousness. This stale condition does not come on suddenly, but gradually develops in the course of weeks or of months.
The best remedy is to turn the animal out on pasture, that he may have a thorough rest and a complete change from stable life and dry food. This will put fresh life and vitality in him, gives a general toning, and the digestion will soon become restored to a full state of efficiency at a result of wholesome and easily-digested grass diet.
In pronounced cases of staleness it will be well to allow the horse on pasture for a couple of months, at least. Even when horses show only comparatively slight symptoms of being stale, they will be much benefited by a run at grass in the summer, or toward the autumn, coming up nice and fresh, and in perfect health again at the end of their spell of rest.
But in many cases it is not feasible to adopt this desirable expedient, and in these circumstances one is compelled to seek to overcome the stalemess, while the horse remains in the
It cannot be too strongly emphasized that a respite from all hard work is the surest cure for this trouble combined with a suitable alternation of the dietary.
Stable Treatment.
When a complete rest at grass is out of the question, as much work as possible must be cut out for a time. The food must be a laxative and cooling nature, while if the animal has been heavily fed on grain, a material reduction in the grain allowance should be affected for the time being if its work can be correspondingly cut down. Food of a specially heating character must be eliminated altogether.
Next to a grazing diet, gut grass forage is the best thing, and it should if possible be given daily in liberal quantities. This, but more so its succulent, highly digestible and cooling character, will speedily promote in relieving the symptoms of staliness and toping up the digestive organs, provided the green food is supplied in efficient quantities.
Besides green forage, which is the most effective other foods that provide useful in counteracting staleness are brains and thinned patches and roots of all kinds. Still further benefit will be derived if the horse can be turned out in the pasture field for a few hours after the work is done. This affords a most welcome change and assists to alleviate any symptoms of staleness that may be present.

STEHLEY'S FINE
DENTAL PARLORS
Suite of Five Rooms in Kershner
Building Fitted For Special Use.
This morning at 9 o'clock Dr. F. P. Stehley, the well known dentist, who has been spending a week at regular intervals for a number of years in offices on West King street, announces the formal opening of an elaborate suite of dental parlors in the Kershner building 201 West King street, just one square east of the former location. The location is admirable and being on the corner plenty of light is bad.
The front room, quite commodious, has been fitted for a reception room, and next comes a large operating room, which, with its bay window effect, furnishes a strong light. Then comes a well-appointed bathroom and back of this a thoroughly modern extracting and impression room, which has adjoining it the laboratory, where the finishing touches are made on the work.
Dr. Stehley is so well known her- having been a native of the Falling Waters section of Berkeley County, besides being known to our people in a professional way, that nothing we could say would accrue to his benefit. References to his announcement on page six of this issue is made for essential details as to his business in the new quarters.

commencement, which will take place on the evening of May 9th in the First M. E. church. The invitations have been issued, and an unusually attractive program is being arranged which will include some of the best musical talent of the city.
Mr. Albert Darby is to be master of ceremonies, and the Rev. R. L. Wright is to be the orator of the occasion. Rev. Charles C. Durkee and Rev. G. C. Smith will also participate, and Thompson's orchestra will provide instrumental music. The stage is to be handsomely decorated and everything will be done to make this the most interesting event in the history of the school. The class of '16, which the hospital authorities assert is the most efficient that has ever graduated from the institution hope their friends and the public generally will honor them in large numbers that
YOUNG SANTIMYER HAD INTENDED TO KILL MR. IMBACH
38-CALIBRE REVOLVER FOUND IN ROOM OF FIFTEEN-YEAR-OLD BOY.
WOULD HAVE HAD REVENGE FOR BEING CORRECTED FOR HAVING STOLEN EGGS.
STRANGE LAD HAD COME HERE MONTH AGO FROM STRAS-BURG, VA.
Because he was approached and corrected for having stolen some eggs, Fred Santimyer, a fifteen-year-old lad who made his home with Theodore Imbach, West King street, well-known fruit dealer, would have committed murder.
The boy, who appeared to be quite queer at times, came to Martinsburg about a month ago, and went to police headquarters. Knowing that Mr. Imbach wanted a boy to work about his home, the city officials told him of this boy, who was soon hired.
The boy worked regularly at the Imbach home but it was discovered that a large number of eggs were being missed daily, and suspicion rested on the lad. Saturday afternoon more eggs were missing and the boy was asked about them. After being corrected he went to his room upstairs, and Mrs. Imbach suspecting something was wrong, quickly called him to the first floor, and then entered his room herself, finding a 38-calibre revolver holding five loads.
At this time the Santimyer lad went to the show grounds, where he was arrested a few minutes later by Constable W. H. Couchman and placed in the county jail, and Sunday his father, a resident of Strasburg, Va., came and took his son home, promising that he would send him to the Virginia reform school.
The boy declared that he had come to Martinsburg after seeing the papers distributed through his part of the country by the local board of trade to the effect that help was wanted here. He also stated that he has had the gun on his person since coming to the city, and it is said that he had intended to "get" Roy Grove and "Rube" Fansler, who conduct a stable in the rear of Mr. Imbach's residence. This strange case appears as if the lad had been accustomed to reading dire novels.
