GREENFIELD HILL.
MRS BARZILLA B. BANKS.

Elnora, widow of the late Barzilla B.
Banks, died at her home in this place,
early Sunday morning, at the age of
Is years. For more than two weeks
her condition has been critical and
death had been expected at any mo-
ment. Mrs Banks had been a victim
of heart disease for number of years,
her illness dating back almost to the
time of her husbands death, in No
vember, 1898; She had always been
able to rally from the attacks peculiar
a trip out in New York state in COM
pany with her daughter, returning
only a few weeks ago. Shortly after
she was taken suddenly and violently
i'll and her physician at once saw that
The organic heart trouble from which
she was suffering, was rapidly destroy
ing her vitality and that death could
be only a question of hours. A con-
sultation of physicians, including the
celebrated DR. Janeway of New York,
confirmed all of the apprehensions of
the earlier examination, and since
then the sorrow stricken family have
watched and waited for the last grim
messenger to appear. MrS Banks was
a business woman in the StricteSt
sense of the word. For more than 30
years her husband conducted grocery
and general merchandise store at
Greenfield Hill, and was postmaster
for many years. In the discharge of
these exacting duties she was an i'm
portant factor, proving to be valuable
auxiliary to her husband in the bust
ness, working faithfully by his side
and by her ready tact and unfailing
courtesy encouraged patronage at the
store. She was devoted to her family,
u trOnd naiph hnr and nf tho
most exemplary character. She was
member of the Centre street Metho-
dist church and a regular attendant
until failing health made it necessary
for her to remain in doors. and at the
Congregational church. where she was
al familiar figure, her pleasant face
will be much missed. To the family.
stung by such poignant grief, the
hearts of the people go out in sincere
sympathy. The funeral was held from
her late home, Wednesday at , p. M.
Rev Mr. Blythe of the Center street
Methodist church, officiating. The
interment was in Oak Lawn cemetery.

and others Interested in the matter, DR.
E. B. Harper, the veterinary surgeon
made arrangements with DR.. Fredericl,
p. Rrhl, OF Fairmont, to come to Clarixs-
burg and examine the horses in the city
and vicinity.
DR.. Ruhl arrived in the city Thursday
from his home town. That afternoon
DR.. Ruhl, Dr.. Harper and Alvin D. Bas-
sci drove down to Salem for the purpose
of making an Official examination into
the condition of the horses in the stables
there and to dnd out whether the r,lmors
Of the existence Of CHAMBERS among the
horses had any foundation.
DR.. Ruhl, assisted by DR.. Harper, made
the 'maIlene- test upon the hcsses IN the
Palace livery stable. at that place. They
found that all the horses there were in
good healthy condition. Other horses
were examined In other stables, but NO
diseases of any kind were found.
Upon their return to this city the
veterinarians examined the horses In all
of the principal stables in Clarksburg.
In all Of the stables in the city all Of
the horses were found, upon examination,
to be in good healthy condition. There
was not the slightest trace of glanders.

Several days ago another daily news
paper in Clarksburg made the statement
that the horses in Mr.. Blake's stables
were afflicted with CHAMBERS. The doc
tors went down there to see about it.
Arriving there, they made an examina-
ton of the horses, but found no gland
ers. They did find low case of fever,
or epizootic cellulittis.
Other horses have been examined, but
so far the state veterinarian has failed
to find any appearance OF CHAMBERS.
DIR. Ruhl returned to his home Friday
evening, after having worked two days
in examining horses. The doctor was
brought here at Mr.. Harper's request.
The latter paid all of his expenses and
got him here simply to put to rout all
of the wild stories that have been cir
culated by those who didn't know what
they were talking about. There are no
CHAMBERS in clarksburg nor anywhere in
the vicinity. That much is proven by
the result of the examinations.
Dr.. Ruhl told representative of the
Daily Telegram that he was confident
that the disease did not exist IN this
community. He says that all of the
horses he examined were in exception
ally good and healthy condition, and as
hne a lot of horses as could be found
any place.

Cold Comfort.

The butler in Scotch family oc-
cupies a privileged and unique posi-
ton. He sometimes assumes a free
dom of speech which seems to
American ears to border on imper-
Thence; but to those who know him
his frank speech is only one Of the
many evidences of his interest IN
the family welfare.
A young American woman was
the guest at a house where butler
of that sort reigns. She submitted
to his patronage with much amuse-
ment; but one day there were unex-
pected and important guests for
dinner, and a little while before the
meal was served the butler waylaid
the young American in the hall.

enough soup" he whispered, $50
