Masonic BANQUET at the junction.

The members of Elk Branch Lodge,
No. 90, A., F. & A. NJ, of Shenandoah
Junction, gave most enjoyable banquet
at that place last thursday night. AT
eight O'Clock the Masons, with friends
and members of their families and invited
brethren from other lodges, assembled in
the lodge room, and from there proceed
ed TO the Odd Fellows hall, where the
banquet was served. Over hundred
persons, including many ladies, were
present, and the scene when all had been
seated at the tables was beautiful and
attractive one The banquet was in charge
of a committee of Elk Branch Lodge, COM
posed of Frank o. Trump, F. {. Little
John, VIM. A. Daniels, S. D. Brown and
w. T. Mcdonald, and they proved them
selves most worthy stewards. A deli
cious repast OF roast turkey and other
seasonable good things was served and
greatly enjoyed by the guests. DR.. w.
w. Brown, who was toastmaster-and a
most excellent one-delivered the address
OF welcome, and when the repaSt had
been disposed OF took charge OF the in
teIectual feature of the occasion. He
read a letter that had many enjoyable To-
cal and personal comments, to the edltl-
cation of all, and then introduced those
who had been invited to respond t toasts.
Rev. ]. c. Siler, chaplain OF the lodge,
was the first speaker, and he had a most
interesting and instructive address on
Masonry. J. B. OSbourn, one of the
original members OF Elk Branch Lodge,
gave brief history OF the organization
and referred to many OF its members who
gave good service TO the order. Hon,
Tracy L. Jeffords, of Washington, was
the next speaker, and he entertained the
audience with very enjoyable address.
The closing toast was responded to by
H. L. Snyder, of Shepherdstown, whose
remarks were pertinent to the occasion.
Vocal and instrumental selections were
pleasingly rendered by Mr.. Kenneth Cav
alier and Miss Lula Winters, of Harper'S
Ferry, and Miss Williams, OF Shenandoah
Junction, gave several brilliant numbers
on the piano.
The affair was altogether enjoyable and
entertaining, and the editor OF the Regis
ter wishes to express his appreciation OF
the courtesy of his friends at the Junction
by which he was permitted to share in
the pleasures OF the evening.

Smallpox i'm the County.

Ill thS
Ii is said that there are ten cases Of
smallpox among the colored population
at Bakerton, this county, the disease
probably having been carried there by
some one from the infected districts of
Berkeley county. 1t is also reported that
there is a case at KearneysvilIe and an
other at Duffields, both being Colored
persons. Many persons from almost
every section OF the county are employed
at Bakerton, and there is great fear that
the loathSome disease may spread unless
there is vigorous action on the part OF the
health authorities to enforce quarantine.
We hope that the ShepherdStown board
Of health will protect our community by
strict precautions, for number OF COL
ored persons from this place are employ
ed at Bakerton. Everybody should be
vaccinated at once.
A man by the name of Baker was ar
rested yesterday at Martinsburg for loaf
ing at the B. & o. station in that city.
He was taken to the lookup, and after
he had been there for some time he was
recognized as smallpox patient. Ply
sicians were summoned, and it was found
that he really had the smallpox. He was
taken to the pest-hou;e, and general

A War Incident and a Coincidence.

y
Some weeks ago the Register published
an interesting article, written by William
c. Reff, OF Carlsbad, New Mexico, giving
a vivid account OF scenes at SharpSburg
during The battle OF Antietam, in which as
a Union soldier he participated. We have
recently had letter from Mr.. Reiff, in
which he gives some further incidents OF
that great struggle. He says; Little
did think when sixteen-Y ear-old lad
that Shepherdstown paper could pub
liSh little war story of mine fifty years
later. Friend Snyder, the first real scare
had in my early soldier life was when
Some Confederate artillerymen sent some
shells into the ranks OF my regiment from
guns planted near three hayStacks in a
field upon high ground just outside of
Shepherdstown. Up TO that time Hum
phrey'S division had never been under
fire."
Mr.. Reiff also referred to a strange but
sad coincidence. He said that several
years ago he knew a young man named
ArmiStead Lee who lived in that section,
and after reading the Register recalled
that he was from Shepherdstown. One
morning Armistead called at Mr.. Reiff'S
home and asked for glass of water, and
they talked together for short time. A
few days afterward Mr.. Lee lost his life
in great flood that swept that region,
and TO this day his body has not been
found. Mr.. Reiff says that everybody
liked young Mr.. Lee, and there was much
sorrow at his untimeIy death.

Basketball.

Basketball.
The Shepherd College basketball team
has been playing some basketball the past
week. On Saturday afternoon they de-
feated the Frederick High School in a
close and exciting game by the score Of
II to Ia. Then Tuesday night they play
ed the Shenandoah Collegiate Institute,
OF Dayton, Va, and won from them by
the score OF 30 to 10. Yesterday after
noon they played second game with
the Collegians and won by very close
margin, the score being IA to Is. The
ColIegiIns put up fine game yesterday
and would probably have won had they
been as proficient in shooting foul goals
as the Shepherd College team. The
next game will be on Saturday night,
when we will have game with St. James
School at go. Admission Is cents.

The murderer had resented a rebuke
from the mine manager for whom he

That evening a shepherd saw the peas
ant mount the veranda OF the mine
managers quarters. where the owner
could be seen sitting with his back to
the window. The miner had a pistol in
his right hand and as he raised it to
fire he crossed himself with his left.
The peasant was too far away to in
tervene or even to recognize the as
sailant. but he did notice that the
murderer. in crossing himself. did not
seem able TO double his arm at the ell
bow
After shooting his victim through the
back. the murderer fled. The shepherd
told his story to the authorities and

WASTE OF POULTRY PRODUCTS.

WASTE OF POULTRY PRODUCTS.
With poultry constantly increasing
in price, and with the cold stoI age
houses constantly being blamed, it is
interesting, at least, to look at the
other side. 1t appears that much OF
the dressed poultry prepared for the
market is spoiled and utterly wasted
because the poultry men will not take
advantage of the modern cOnveniences
of cold storage. The department or
agriculture maintains a poultry dem
onstratiOn car which gees over the
country giving object lessons in how
to take care of dressed poultry for
the market. But these lessons are not
needed as they should be-
The unseasonably warm weather just
before Thanksgiving day caused the
spOilage and destruction of thousands
and thousands of dressed turkeys sim
ply because proper precautions were
not taken.
The dressed turkeys condemned and
destroyed in New York alone IN
Thanksgiving week represented a loss
of more than 100000. and the market
inspectors in almost every. eastern city
reported at that time that the dressed
poultry on sale was largely unfit for
human consumption. Proper use of re-
frigeratiOn cars and stOrages would
have prevented this waste
