Our Electric Light Project.

By reference to our advertising col
umns it may be seen that Mayor r.
G. Miller has called special election
to be held in Shepherdstown Saturday,
May 4th, to submit to the voters wheth-
er or not the corporation shall issue
bonds to the amount of $4,000 for the
purpose of erecting an electric light
plant. We have heard of no opposi-
ton to the proposed bond issue, which
was unanimously recommended by the
Business Mems Association and passed
by the council without a dissenting
voice. The estimates which have been
made by the engineer with whom the
committee in chargehas consulted in
dictate that the system can be estab-
lished we'll within the sum named,
and we think our town ought to be
glad to get such desirable improve
ment at SO low a price. 1t is step
forward that our people should not
hesitate to take.

Distressing Tragedy.

A shocking affair occurred in Berke-
ley county last Saturday afternoon,
when William Myers, aged 9 years,
was shot and killed by his cousin,
Charles Henry. aged IA years, at the
latter's home, about three miles east
of Martinsburg The tragedy occurred
while Mr.. and Mrs. Henry were away
from home. During their absence
their young son, young Myers and one
OF his brothers began playing in the
yard. 1t is said that young Henry
tired of the company of his cousins
and ordered them away. Upon their
refusal to go he entered the house and
soon reappeared with double-barrel
shotgun. Tine lad was evidently bent
upon frightening his playmates, and
while handling the gun one Of the bar
rels exploded. The load entered young
Myers side and went clear through
him, killing him almost instantly.
When young Henry realized what
he had done, he went into the house
and was in the act of attempting to
take his own life with the other load
in the gun, but was prevented from
doing so by Daniel Miller, a neighbor,
who arrived just in time to prevent
double tragedy. The families of both
the boys are grief stricken. The par
ents of the dead boy believe the shoot
ing was accidental, and pleaded with
the officers for the release of young
Henry. After the warrants were
served the officers gave away to the
pleadings of the two families, and the
youth was released in care of his par
ents. Young Henry is a son of Charles
Henry, and the victim is a son of
William Myers. The two families live
on the road near Vanclevesville.
A pathetic incident connected with
the tragedy was that Mr.. and Mrs.
Myers were in Martinsburg buying
clothing, shoes and almost whole new
outfit for their boy. whom they had
DO idea had been killed. When the
distressing news was told to them they
were grief stricken. As soon as the
news was verified the boys new sum-
mer suit was exchanged for black
suit in which to bury his dead body.
Another sad circumstance connected
with the tragedy is the fact that this
is the third child Mr.. and Mrs. Myers
have lost this year, two of their chill
dren having died of the measles about
month ago. Only one child, the
youngest Of the family, is now left.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. College

Throughout the country there has
been rapidly growing interest in
NJ ilwaukee-Dower College. This
institution occupies the unique posi-
tion of being the only college for
women exclusively in the great state
of Wisconsin. In addition to its offer
ing broad and thorough course of
college work, from any year of which
a student may pass to like rank in
other colleges, and the fact that on it's
diploma life certificate for teaching
in Wisconsin may be issued, it provides
as beautiful home in which the utmost
attention is paid to the best and most
wholesome conditions of physical well
being, as we'll as to the social culture
and moral influences that contribute
SO largely in preparing woman for
the largest usefulness in the home,
church and society.
The Importance of surrounding the
life of a young girl, at its most reSpOn-
sive period, with refining influences,
and an atmosphere that is conducive
TO developing good taste, forming
manners, and establishing good
principals, is a constantly growing
consideration with thoughtful
parents 1t is recognized that an
environment of beauty, refinement
culture, together with spirit Of
moral earneStnesS and appeal to the
higher interests of life are invaluable
in the formation of character. The
steadily increasing patronage of the
college teStifeS to its merit on these
important lines.
The attraction of the college is
much enhanced by the erection of a
new residence, college hall, to be
occupied in September next, by stu
dents of the college department. The
seminary, college preparatory
school, which has a large attendance,
will continue to occupy Holton hall.
The new building is a handsome brick
structure, planned to accommodate
about fifty persons, having, besides
apartments for students, parlors,
cuisine and dining room.
Certainly any young lady planning
to attend school or college or to study
music or art cannot affoId to fail TO
examine the opportunities for educa-
ton that are offered by Milwaukee,
DOwner College.
