School Board Meets.


There was a meeting of the School
Board on Monday night, all mem
bers being present, with the excep-
tion. of Mr.. Compton. President
Wolfes presided, and after some few
bills were passed, the discussion of
"Music in the Schools" was taken
up. This matter which has been
agitating the board and teachers for
some time, was thoroughly discuss
ed. The matter of the tax levy
seemed to be the greatest hinderance
in the way of its immediate adop-
ton. The question was left open
until the next meeting of the Board.
This new branch in the education of
the children of our city will not be
put in the course until the next
school year. The levy for the pres.
ent year has already been made and
it is sufficient only for the actual
present needs of the schools. The
next levy will be made in June
when this item will be included in
the expenses of the schools. It is
not thought that there will be any
necessity for an increase in the pres
ent rate. A review of the work of
the schools has been made by Presi-
dent Wolfes, and he reports them in
most excellent condition. Every
opportunity is seized by the Board
to improve our schools and the adj
vancement being made in them is
marked,

He Landed in Jail.

On Friday afternoon last, stran-
ger giving his name as John G. Kali
ner, and representing himself as q
detective, asked Deputy Marshal
Paulding to take him to the county
jail to see the men who were recent
ly sent up for carrying weapons. In
company with several of the officers,
with permission from the Sheriff
they went to the Jail. When they
were in with the men he told the Of.
ficers that they might go, as he
wished to have private talk with
the men. This the officers refused
to do. He then said they were not
the men he wanted and they came
away. While in the Jail he acted
rather suspiciously, changing a re-
volver from his hip pocket to his
overcoat pocket, while standing be-
hind the officers. In less than half
an hour he had gone to his boarding
place and had changed bis clothes
and was on the street again. Short
ly after that Deputy Sheriff Hollis
arrested the man for carrying re-
volver. He was taken before Squire
Byers and given hearing. He had
no papers to show his authority, or
to substantiate his claim as detec-
tive, and the Justice gave him sixty
days in Jail. After his arrest be
claimed that he was q local detec-
tive from the coal region, and gave
several parties as reference from
Hazelton, Pa. If, in the meantime
he can prove his identity, he will get
his liberty.

International S. S. Lesson for Dec. 10.

Subject-"The Message about Sin
and Salvation" 1 John, l: S, to
2: 6. Golden Text-"If we confess
our sins, He is faithful and just to
forgive us our SINS" IJohn, |: 8.
The Bible says that the whole world
is guilty before God. Some people
may profess to be better than others
but God says, "there is no differ.
ence, for all have sinned." The
message in this lesson is still more
forcible," "If we say that we have
not sinned we make Him a liar.'
The Bible unites on this one point,
"There is none righteous, no, not
one." "For whatsoever shall keep
the whole law, and yet offend in one
point, he is guilty of all. The Gold
en- Text tells us who have this Ad-
vocate, His purpose is, "Fear not,
1 have redeemed thee. l will
come again and receive you unto
Myself" His presence--sI am
with you all the way "This is the
promise that He hath promised us,
even eternal life." This Advocate,
who never lost a case appeals to
every sinner, off any man sin-the
fact of sin having been already es-
tablished, "Him that cometh unto
Me / will in no wise cast out The
Bible testifies, GAS many as receiv-
ed Him-the Advocate-to them
gave He power to become the sons
of God, even to them that believe
on His name"

Shocking Tragedy.

Seldom has Martinsburg ever ex-
perienced such excitement or the cit
liens been given such shock as
when the news was spread broadcast
over this city that Mr.Jo ohm W.Bish-
OBJ, one of Martinsburg's most infu-
entail and successful business men,
had committed suicide at his whole
sale warehouse, on Sunday after
noon last, a short time after one
o'clock. Shortly after dinner Mr..
Bishop, accompanied by his book
keeper, Mr.. Edward Sigler, walked
to his Office, which is located at his
warehouse near the B. & O. freight
station. After being in the office
for q short time, Mr.. Sigler went in
to the warehouse, leaving Mr.. Bish.
CD in the Office. A few minutes lat
er he heard the report of a pistol,
and returning to the Office found his
employer lying on the floor in an
unconscious condition, having shot
himself through the head with a
Colts revolver, which was always
kept in the office. A physician was
hastily summoned, but upon his ar
rival it was found that he was be.
vond assistance. He lived little
over an hour after committing the
act. Mr.. Bishop had been suffering
from nervous prostration for the
past three weeks, and had only re-
turned from Florida on Thursday,
where he went to regain his health.
That the act was committed in a
moment of temporary alteration is
scarcely doubted, and the taking of
his life is not thought to have been
premeditated, none of the circum.
stances, previous to the occurrence,
pointing that way. Mr.. Bishop was
a native of Preston county, W. Va,
and was engaged in business in Chi.
cago priorIto the'great fire there. He
came here Immediately afterward
and started in the wholesale grocery
business, associating himself with
Hugh A. Frazer. Later he became
sole owner of the business, and has
conducted it up to this time. Dur
ing the past summer he had erected
a large elevator and -four mill plant,
which has become an important en-
terprise in this city. He has been
the President of the Merchants &
Farmers Bank ever since its organ
ization about five years ago, and it
was chiefly through his efforts that
the Business Mems Association or.
ganized, which was largely instru-l
mental in securing the different fac
tories established here within the
past few years. Mr.. Bishop married
Miss Emily Alburtis, of this city,
who with three children, son and
two daughters, survive him. The
funeral took place from his late resi-
dence, corner Maple avenue and
Martin street, and was conducted by
Rev. Ferguson, of the M. E. Church,
South, assisted by Rev. M. F. B.
Rice, of Cumberland. The interment
was in Green Hill Cemetery.
