WELL-KNOWN MEN DIE
A Trepanning Operntfon-August ID.
GilIett's Sudden Demise-The Pass
ing OF John VI. Wood.

Thomas o. Barbour, treasurer OF the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad Company. died
yesterday in this city, after operation
On the brain had been performed. 1t was
q case Of certain death without the opera
lion and Ii was thought there was a bare
possibility OF his recovery with the opera
ton. Last December he was stricken with
paralysis at his home, in Richmond, Va.
and after a time, when he did not show any
signs OF Improvement he was taken to
sanatorium at Washington for treatment.
There the diagnosis OF the case was not
correct, II seems. and nothing could be done
for him. Last Saturday he was brought
here. He came in his private car, accom-
panied by his wife, He was then uncon-
scious and remained 80 until his death. Aft
er a close examination 1t was decided that
il was not a simple case of paralysis, but
that tumor in the cavity or the brain
was pressing on the brain tissue and grad
ualIy destroying 1t. An operation was de-
cided upon as a possible means of relief, al
though no encouragement was given that Ii
would be successful. 1t was merely taking
advantage OF one chance in thousand for
his recovery Yesterday morning the ire
phine was used and the Uranium opened. Ii
was then discovered that large tumor
had grown within the cavity and had al
ready destroyed almost half of the brain.
Mr. Barbour lived until evening.
Thomas o. Barbour was the only son OF
DR.. Samuel Barbour, who died in this city.
The son was born in Indianapolis about
forty-five years ago and lived mere until
he entered the service Of the Big Four
railroad when quite a young man. he was
educated in the High School of this city
Mr.. Barbour was not long connected with
the Big Four until he attracted the atten-
ton OF President Ingalls,. He went to Gin
cinnati and became the private secretary of
Mr. ingalls,, In which position he continued
until about six years ago. When Mr.. In
gals was made president or the chesapeake
& Ohio road Mr. Barbour became treasurer
with headquarters at Richmond, Va He
continued IN the active management or the
office until last December, when ne was
stricken with paralysis.
Those who knew Mr.. Barbour here re-
member him as a man OF the highest char
acter He was well known in railroad cir
cles all over the country and his high EN-
cheney as an official was generally recog-
nized Between Mr.. Barbour and President
ingalls, there had long been a strong bond
of friendship.
Mr.. Barbour leaves a wife and two daugh-
ters Misses Louise and Violet Barbour, who
are at the home OF their grandmother, Mrs.
Harriet Barbour, No 577 North Capitol ave-
nue. He was a brother of Mrs. s. f. Gray.
on North Capitol avenue The funeral will
take place from the home OF Mrs. Harriet

EASY SORT OF GAME
THE CHAMPIONS PRACTICE WITH A
LOCAL AMATEUR BALL TEAM.
score-Lines on Some OF the
New Players.

The HeTancourts gave Watkinss men
some pretty fair practice yesterday. If they
had batted as well as they ielded the game
would not have been so one-sided. OF
course, the Indianapolis players did not ex-
ert themselves to any extent. They took
things easy and ran no risk of Gripping
themselves in any way. Monroe pitched the
first three innings and gave the Heran-
courts but one safe hit and no runs. He
struck out three of the ten men who went
to bat, using his slow ball almost alto
gether. 1t is still fittle early TO put on
much steam and none of the pitchers win
use their speed to any extent for a week
TO come. Monroe Is gradually working the
soreness out OF his forearm and with lit
tie more mild weather it will be all right.
Damon followed him in the box for three
innings and the Herancourts had nearly as
much trouble with him, though they picked
up one run in the fourth Weimar went i'm
for the last three innings and disposed of
the opposing batsmen rather easily until the
ninth, when they touched him up for
couple CT long hits and secured two runs.
They used three pitchers against the
champions, who opened at lively rate on
the first one and pounded out seven runs
IN two innings In baserunning the boys
were careful TO keep out OF danger, but
they all showed fair amount of speed.
Butler appears especially fast in this re-
gard He caught the first half Of the game
In nice style. Wood succeeded him and ap-
peared TO be in regulation form. They all
showed marked Improvement in hitting.
McCauley, who played first, made the long
est hit OF the game-a fine drive TO right
field that, with the ground in summer
shape, would have been good for home
run. The dead ground, however. prevented
the ball from rolling and Mac was not fast
enough to beat it to third, where he was
caught.
Iantry. the shortstop of the Herancourts,
hit Weimar for three bases in the NINTH
the ball going TO left field. Lantry Is quite
a Splinter and plays good lively short.
His fielding, that of Conlon at second and
Berner at third, was excellent There were
two hundred people az the grounds. The

THE PROSPECTS FOR CROPS.
Most of Them I'm Good Condition for
This Season Of Year.

According to the March bulletin OF the
Weather Bureau the crops of the State are
In good condition for this season Of the
year. Wheat is doing well in almost every
section, while fruit, except in few LOCALE
ties, where peaches are injured, is yet sound.
Thus far this year. there is shortage of
rain amounting TO 2.31 inches, and for three
years the amount of the shortage Is almost
three feet. The Weather Bureau anticipates
an excess of rain during April, which may
remove the deficiency for this year.
According to reports from four hundred
township assessors, received by State Stats
tican Thompson, the outlook for wheat is
not good as the Weather Bureaus re-
port makes 1t. Many sections report much
damage by dry weather last fall, with pros
poets of less than an average crop. The
acreage is little smaller than last year.

Schools Closed on Account Of La
Grippe.

In Wisconsin many schools are closed on
account of an epidemic form of the grip now
prevailing there. In this city It seems to be
assuming the same dangerous form, as some
of our best-known citizens have lately been
taken away by its ravages. Mr. Haag, the
Denison House druggist, was interviewed as
to his views on the best known remedy for
the prevention Of the grip, and replied that
he had, some time ago. given the News a
list of the popular and most effective medi-
cines TO be used as a preventive, as well as
a cure, for this dread disease. Mr.. Haag
said that the great trouble was that most
persons did not treat the first symptoms
with the proper medicine, that the symp-
toms being similar to those OF bad cold.
many persons gave little attention to the
disease until 1t had assumed serious pro-
portions, and then it was often too late for
the best medical attention to save a life.
Mr.. Haag says that his ''Haag's Anti-Grip
Capsules" when taken in time, will cure
the grip, and that If it is deep-seated, his
cough syrup should be used in connection
with the capsules. He Is considered authori-
ty on influenza or the grip, as he has, for
many years, filled prescriptions written by
the best doctors in the world, who make
such troubles a speciality.
Mr.. Julius A Haag is the druggist who
acquired such fame from the new pill that
he originally made for his mother, who had
been a sufferer from chronic indigestion and
constipation, and was completely cured by
the use of this pill.

thrown in contact with horsemen. Many
times he rode as far south as New Orleans

his passion for horses and at the time of
his death owned a string of sixty valuable
animals. which were being wintered on his
stock farm, three miles northwest of town.
Mr.. Wood was married to Margaret Gresh-
am. in 1s4o. Her death, on Feb. z. was a
severe shock to him, and he seemed almost
inconsolable.
Until 1871 Mr.. Wood was partner in the
livery firm OF Wood & Foudray. They had
a stable for twenty years on Pennsylvania
street just south of what now Is the When
clothing store. The partners conducted their
business on unique lines. No books were

Wood insisted that he should select such
