AFTERNOON.

TAKES HIS OWN LIFE WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON.
Mr.. Hartman ]. Lushbaugh, one of
the Oldest and best known citizens of
Staunton, shot and killed himself at his
home about o'clock Wednesday after
noon. Mr.. Lushbaugh, who was over
So years of age, had been great suffer
er for some years, and it is thought this
was the cause of his rash deed. He
went into rear room of house and
placing pistol in his mouth fred, the
bullet severed the spinal cord at the
base of the brain, and death was instan-
taneous. A servant hearing the shot
ran to ascertain the cause of the shoot
ing and found him lying dead on tho
floor. His wife, who was in another
part Of the house did not hear the shot.
Mr.. Lushbaush was born here Sc
years ago last November, and his lsng
and useful life had been spent in Staun-
ton, where he and his brother, the late
VIM. J. Lushbaugh, were engaged in
contracting, and many Of the substan-
tial buildings OF the city were erected
by them.
Mr.. Lusghbaugh's second wife, who
was Miss Henrietta Evans Of Harrison
burg, survives; also five children by the
first marriage and two by the second
as follows: Mrs. J. w. B. Parker, Mrs.
F. w. Hager, Messrs. William Lush
baugh Of Norfolk, and Charles
Lushbaugh of the city, Mrs. Mary
Butcher of Baltimore, Asssrs. Joseph
and Harry Lushbaugher of Staunton.
Also one sister, Mrs. Evans OF Win

We had quite a surprise on April
FOOLS day when Mr.. N. H. Meyer and
Miss Bertha Phillips went to Staunton,

Mr. Littleton was followed by DR.. E.

The task ret myself at each annual

Of a very great man-perhaps the most
versatile genius in which our life has
given birth. President Eliot, a great
modern educator, after his recent tour
of the Southern States, has declared
that America has not produced a more
productive intelligence than Thomas
jefferson. Mr.. Jefferson, first of all
Americans, perceived clearly three
things about education.
l. That it should be universal.
2. That it's influence extends natural

while his damage case is fought

The, costly time of courts and

A manned workman is as much
entitled to assistance from the
community he has served as a

no lawyer to secure it for him.
He should get it without delay,

they have done more, they have

effects, they have shown the caus-

They have done more still they
have produced remedies, upon the
merits and dement's of which pro-

Labor unions have produced
thinkers and educators from out
their own ranks, and have drawn
students and teachers from the
wealthy and professional. And
more yet; while doing this, they
have bettered the condition Of
thousands of families, by securing
higher wages, shorter hours and
greater independence, individual
ly and collectively.
The result is something to be
proud of. 49,:
