KILLED ON THE RAILROAD.
Former Martinsburg Man Falls
OF Train Saturday Night.
BOTH ARMS NEARLY CUT OFF
Accident Happened at North Noun
tain Station-5ody Brought Here
For Burial.

James Powell, jr,, formerly Of this
city. but late,y employed in the River
side railroad shops in South Balti-
more. was killed Saturday shortly be-
fore midnight by being run over by a
B. & O. westbound passenger train
near North Mountain station, five
miles northwest of Martinsburg.
His mangled body was discovered
lying along the tracks about o'clock
Sunday morning by brakeman on an
eastbound freight and the crew car
ried it to the station and notified the
operator in the telegraph tower near.
BY. Powell was 20 years old and ua-
married
The unfortunate man was here Sat
urday evening and told some friends
that he was going away on No. Q, due
here at 1920 p. M, but didn't make
his destination. So far as can be
learned he was not seen to board this
westbound train here, but it is sup
posed that he did and was riding on a
bumper of the baggage car at the time
and. as the train rounded the curve
AZ North Mountain station, he fell un-
der the wheels. His injuries. though
fearful, were not such as to cause
instant death, and the man bled to
death before help arrived.
The body was brought here on No.
| s at II a. M. on Sunday, accompanied
By r. A. Jacques, of Hedgesville, and
then taken to the undertaking estab-
lishment of w. II. Wilen. where it was
prepared for burial.
An examination of the body showed
that both arms were nearly severed
the members hanging by ligaments,
ends of a couple of toes and the heel
Of one foot cut off and two Commissions
about the face and head. AS stated
before, Powell bled TO death while,
perhaps, in an unconscious condition
The coroner deemed an inquest un.
necessary under the circumstances.
Sunday evening Undertaken Wilen
| took the remains to the residence OF
Frank D. Powell, brother Of the de
ceased, at 41O South Raleigh street
Native of Martlnsburg.
The deceased was the son of James
Powell. ST., now running a helper or
the B. and o. about midway between
Hancock and Cumberland, and was
born and reared in this city. He had
been at various times a railroader
and employed in round houses and
machine shops. He was popular
young man and his untimely death
| will be mourned by many friends.
Besides his father he is survived by
| three brothers and two sisters: Frank
D., Jacob and Miss Lena Powell, this
city; ]. r. Powell and Mrs. G.. w

RISE IN THE COST OF FOOD
UNDER LEAD or BEEF TRUST
PRICES GENERALLY GO UP.
Chicago Dealers Figure on an Aver.

Chicago, Oct. Now that the beef
trust has set the pace. the whole ar.
ray of foodstuffs will rise in price.

over last years prices, according to
estimates Of dealers who base their
figures on present conditions.
Fruits vegetables, milk. butter,
eggs. meat bread and canned goods
ALI will command higher prices. The
pure food law is held responsible, as
many articles formerly prepared with
cheap authorizations and preservatives
are kept from the market. Fruit and
vegetable crops have been short in all
sections Of the country, with the ex.
ception of the Pacific Coast, and
higher wages in the cities have kept
labor from this country, so that crops
could not be properly handled

supply: butter advanced last week,
until yesterday jobbers were forced
TO pay 30 12 cents for the best
grades.
The greatest shock dealt the family
proyider will come when the purchase
of canned goods and dried fruits is
made. These commodities have arisen
steadily during the past three years
and this year an increase of 20 per
cent. has been made. The tomato
crop will be so per cent. short. and
prices of the canned article are ex
lpected to advance from S5 ceats tc

Ell. Prunes, constituting the largest
tonnage of California dried fruits, will

| production is little more than one
third of last season. There will be an
advance in price of California peaches
OF 10 per cent Pacific Coast beans
will cost 25 per cent. more than usual
while Eastern beans will advance
even more.

several days, looking after the inter-
ests of the state, in the matter of
taxation, has completed his task.
Mr.. Darst says that he found things
in the county clerks Office in good
shape. and that Clerk Bender has
been very car eful to take care of the
states interest and has looked after
the various tax matters in an excel
lent manner. The commissioner found
several cases in which the inheritance
tax will play part and the state will
get few dollars, due to the vigilance
of Mr.. Darst.
After business hours, Mr. Darst
has been mixing among his friends
in an endeayor to further his ambition
fer the republican nomination for state
auditor Mr.. Darst has many friends
in Berkeley county who look upon him
as the successful candidate for the
place on the ticket.
Mr.. Darst is one of those stral ght.
forward men who plays clean politics
and is deserving of the support of his
party. He has been one of the great
est factors in bringing into successful
operation the tax laws of the state
and has worked earnestly for the in
terest o. the state, which is the inter.
est of the people. He is popular all
over the state and by his fairness in
looking into tax matters has made
many friends. Undoubtedly he will
get the support of the Berkeley coufr'
ty delegates at the convention.
or course, Mr.. Darst is not making
Va campaign at this time for the nom.
ination for he is out on business for
the tax commissioners office, but
whenever he has the chance he does

Men Afraid to Wed.

There is many a man to-day who
chooses a solitary course because in his
estimation matrimony Is too expens-
i've.
His argument Is the well-thrashed-
out and too generally accepted one that
girls expect too much for the ordinary
individual to supply.
With a snug of his shoulders he
pushes all thought of marriage into the
background Of his mind and resolves
not to think of 1t again until he is in
the 40's and master of a big fortune.
The fear of settling down is not con-
fined to the professional man nor to
the merchant; 1t attacks the individual
who earns a regular salary quite as
virulently, and, indeed, extends It's
baneful influence over all sorts and
conditions Of men. 1t is a bogy that
is real menace to the happiness and
prosperity of the community.
And what is so annoying and vexa-
tious to the observant Is that 1t Is a
chimera, a suppositlon, theory that
Will nOL SldbQ I'M bSAOAC al nun
sound argument. The real reason so
many men remain single is that they
want all the money they can amass for
their own disqualification and shrink
from sharing it with a wife.
But there are others who would mar
ry If they could be convinced that such
a step would bring them added prosper
ity instead Of a curtailment of the good
things of this life. They are timid
souls who fear to make any change IN
their existence in case it should be 6
change for the worse. Little do they
guess what a difference for the better
a happy marriage would exercise ovel
their bank account or how much fuller
and more really contented their lives
| would become

Remember that happiness is one
thing. and joy, which We often confuse
with II, another. We are so ant TO
take these words that differ, like fancy
and imagination, merriment, and glad.
ness, and use them indiscrimlnately In
our talk. But joy is a serious, sober,
inward thing. I question If any but
God can create JOY. 1t springs from
the depths of this mysterious soul
which only the finger of deity can
touch. True joy is often far too deep
for laughter; but often FAR too deep
for tears. But happiness is that which
happens to US 1t haps ON us, lights
on US from without. Joy rises in the
soul like a spring Of water. Happi-
ness comes like swallow to the caves.
Joy grows from hidden seed planted
within; happiness meets Us like music,
like a friend. Hence to create JOY is
the science OF God; but to foster hap
piness may be the art of man.
