ISLAND CITY NEWS ITEMS.
People Generally Are Satisfied with
the Governors Selections.
ONE OF THEM PROVED TO BE A SURPRISE
The Weather Bureau Has Received No
News of the Storm on
the Gulf.

Galveston, Texas, September 1.-THE ap.
pointments of city commissioners made by
Governor Sayers which were announced in
this mornings Post caused considerable
surprise. Several states had been men
Toned in which were the names OF |. H.
Kempner and II. LANCE but 1t had never
been predicted that Judge w. L. Austin,
who was one of the elective commissioners,
would be appointed chairman. This selec
tion, however seems to- be generally sat
isfactory 70 the people OF Galveston. II.
Lauge, who was one OF the men appointed,
is now president Of the, board of water
commissioners, and l. II, Kempner, the
other appontee, is city treasurer. From
the fact that they are familiar with many
of the affairs connected with the city gov
eminent, 1t would seem that their selection
is wise. Atsleast this opinion prevails
among the leading business men of the
city.

The Quarantine Bill.

Galveston, Texas, September Ex-senator
II. V. Davidson. who is in the city, gave
out the following this morning:
I'm regard to the passage Of the quaran-
tine bill by the senate, the action of the
senate thereon was particularly gratifying
to me. The bill provides:
~. For an appropriation Of $4,000 for
the construction of a modern steel quar-
antine building in accordance with modern
ideas and plans here at Galveston that
will be the equal of any quarantine sta
ton on the Atlantic or gulf coasts

requirements of this port The bill also
carries with 1t an amendment that Of

Galveston, Texas, September 14-Nothing
was heard at the office of the weather bu-

which caused some uneaslness here yester
day The officials regard this as favorable
indication, as this office would have been
informed If the hurricane had headed in
this direction. This is not the first hurri-
cane which has developed In the locality
of the storm of last September this sea-

DEATH OF GEORGE W. BOYER.
Was One of the Jury That Tried and
Convicted John Brown.

Mr.. Geo. w. Boyer, one of the old
est residents of Jefferson county, died
Monday evening at his home near
Shenandoah Junction, after a long
illness of ailments incident to old
age. He was born in Jefferson coun-
ty and has resided there all of his life,
being in the seventy-ninth year of his
age. In his early life he learned the
trade of wheelwright and for a long
time followed that mechanical art but
several years ago discontinued it and
began merchandising at Bardane, two
miles west of Shenandoah Junction.
About two wears ago a store which
was in his dwelling was robbed by
three masked men, who not finding
the amount of money they expected,
seized and bound Mr., Boyer and his
wife and subjected them to terrible
torture by burning their hands and
feet in order to make them disclose
the place of their money. 1t so hap
pened that they had very little money
III the house at the time, and the
robbers were frightened away by the
arrival of a son, who lived near and
heard the noise. From this shock
Mrs. Bower never recovered and died
ahcpt q year ago. Mr.. Boyer was
rendered very nervous and his health
had been bad since that experience.
He lived a quiet. modest life, accumu-
lating a snug amount of property. He
was highly respected for his industry
and honesty. He was a member of
the jury which tried and convicted
John Brown and was the last survivor
of that jury in Jefferson county. 1t is
said that there is but one other mem
Der now living. a Mr.. Martin, who
resides in F~auquier county. Virginia.
Mr.. Boyer, although taking an inter
est in pubic affairs was never an aspi-
rant for Office and was a life long
Democrat. He is survived by several
children.
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1901-04-06

The Berkeley Democrat in its last
the worst political hash ever dished
up to a thinking public based ON
street rumors, which have no founda-
tion in fact.
The Herald as a public journal,
called the attention of the public TO
the fact, that a lady teacher in our
public schools, charged her principal
with coming into her room in an in
toxicated and making an indie
cent proposal to her, and commented
on the fact that the school board re-
fused to investigate these charges.
The effect of the Democrat to be-
smirch the name of the honored City
Superintendent, as we'll as the mem
bers of the School Board, will 90
amiss as this throwing of dust in the
eyes of the public will not answer the
charge now pending and %uninvesti-
gated against this man, they are either
true or false, and will continue to re-
main SO, until investigated.
Innocent men do not want such
charges as these hanging over their
heads, and the Democrat cannot di-
vert the issue from the main channel.
Did this man insult this lady, is the
question for the School Board 70 an
swer to the public.
efuse TO in vestigate anl tial
st TRADE of SANDER and inuendo
against the City Superintendent, is a
cowardly trick, which will not be
tolerated, by this community.

Mrs. Bette G. Wilson, widow of
James Wilson, the eccentic resident

James Wilson and his other children.
Most OF it, however, is bequeathed to
James w. Wilson.

For the first time in the history of
Havana Cuba, there is not a single
case of yellow fever at the beginning
Of April. If our occupancy has done
nothing else it is a blessing to hum
anity, to eradicate this dreaded dis
ease, which has carried off so many
valuable lives, not only in Cute but
as well in our own land. The dis
ease once finally driven from Cuba,
our own country will be freed from
this of the human race.
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1901-04-06

General Funston is the hero of the
hour, having captured Aguinaldo,
thereby adding new laurals to his
crown, of rapid success. Unknown,
except to a few, three years ago this
Young man was struggling with the
world for success in fields far differ.
ent from that, in which his wonder
full talent and tact was discovered.
The Spanish war has brought forth
many men to prominence, as well as
bring ing this Nation f ,rward as the
greatest of world powers. but none
shine out more brilliantly than does
General Funston.
The world stands in w today,
when viewing the possibilities of this
young, but great Nation, leading as
it does in nearly all persuits of life,
fast going 70 the front in commerce
finance, arts and the sciences, all
realize that this country is TO be re-
corded with in the future in all
things that concern mans welfare.
Our Nation was not slow in reward
ing the bravery of this young hero,
who brought new laurels to her
crown, the President acted promptly
and made Mr.. Funston a brlgadier
general, in the regular army.
