PROF. JOHN A. MYERS DEAD.
HE PASSED AWAY MONDAY OF
THIS WEEK WHILE IN SAN
FRANCISCO.
a SKETCH OF HIS CAREER
was horn In Ohio County and Was
Graduate of bethany College.
Took Spec al POst-Graduate
Courses In Scfences-Former Di-
rector of w. Va. Agricultural FIX
pertinent Station in Morgnntown.

DR.. 3. G. Myers, of the Island, re-
ceived a telegram from San Francisco
conveying the sad news Of the death
Of his brother, John A. Myers, which
occurred on Monday, the 8th instant.
John Alva Myers was the SON OF
Rev. A. E. Myers and Charity Myers,
(nee Cox and brother of DR.. E. c.
Myers and Miss Irene Myers. He was
born on a farm near West Liberty
In Ohio county in 1853. While his
father was actively engaged in church
and educational work, he also success
fully carried on the work of farming.
His boys both took and active part in
the work.
John A. was graduated from Bethany
in 1876 and took post graduate
course, ending in 1876, making a spe-
cialty of chemistry and physics. After
graduating he was professor in Butler
University, Indiana, for one year. He
then went to Europe and attended the
universities at Gottingen- and Berlin,
still pursuing as special studies the
subjects of chemistry and physics, and
graduating with the degree of DR.. of
Physics.
After his return from Germany he
was professor of chemistry in the Ken
lucky University at Lexington for two
years. He was then appointed to take
charge of the agricultural and me-
chanical college of Mississippi, which
position he held uutil the establishing
of the Experiment Station in the West
Virginia University under the Hatch
law.
Prof Myers was put in charge of this
station, and through his efficient man
agement it has become one of the most
noted in the country. This position
was held until a change in administra-
sought and obtained by another.
Prof Myers, having a national repu-
tation for knowledge of chemistry and
science in general, was soon put in
charge of the head Office of the Propa->
ganda for the expectation of nitrate
of soda, which is becoming well
known fertilizer. Under the manage
ment of Prof. Myers this business has
SO increased that the company is doing
business i'll many countries. He was
on his way to Hawaii in the interests
Of the Propaganda and took i'll at San
Francisco and he was taken to a hos
pital On March 21st
While in the Kentucky University
Prof Myers married Miss Minnie
Plunkett, of Lexington, Ky. He leaves
his wife and one child, u years old.
The Prof. travelled a great deal. He
visited several countries of Europe, as
well as Palestine and other countries
of Asia. His life set forth the value
of persistently following ones chosen
line of study and work
The writer has frequently heard
him speak in educational bodies and
in such speeches the Prof. always en-
phasized the Importance of the prac-
tical use Of education. This he fully
exemplified in his own life, and be-
queathes it to the educational world
as lasting object lesson.
The sympathy of the public is ex-
tended to his sorrowing relatives.

AT NACHMAN & MEERTIEFS.

The beautifully arranged display win dows at Nachman and Mertiefs large es- tablishmeut were a truthful indication of the grand array of goods to be found on the inside.
 In front the opening of dress goods held sway and the rich novelties of the sea- son were exhibited in most attractive wools were found in a bewildering plen- ty.
 An exquisite new goods shown at Nach- man Meertief's establishment. is Louisine, a figured silk with a beautiful mirror effect caused by the figures being stamped on the warp before the loom puts in the white filling. The result is very rich fabric.
 4 velvet shown here is the feather vel vet. It has a long and leaning nap and when used for trimming has the effect of an ostrich tip. The feather velvet only comes in black and is the thing for cloaks waists and trimmings as we'll as entire costumes.
 Shimmer velvet is another new goods and is shown in all colors. This is beau- tiful in the evening shades. The panne velvet which still holds its own is found in thirty-four shades evidencing it's con tinued popularity. A beautiful thing shown at Nachman X Meertiefs is the velvetta in Persian designs, which is the swell shirt waist goods for tailor walking skirts. Every color is found in these waist goods and they match as well. a black. brown, blue. or green. cloth skirt and so make utility garment as well as a very beautiful one. A very striking fabric shown for vesting for swell tailor suits is a silk mattleseyed ground with raised floral design in cut velvet.
 Among the other goods shown in glove finished cloth and among the trimmings is the cut velvet for appliqueing on cloth. The dresses in black are gorgeous and range from the heaviest to the hghtest and daintiest material.
 In the cloak department a perfect beau ty was shown in long half fitting black velvet coat It is rich and swagger. as well as elegant. It seems that the long cloak has come to stay as 1t is shown in
