At Shepherd College.


The winter term examinations have
been in progress at Shepherd College this
week, and the term ends today. The
spring term begins next Tuesday, March
23d, when it is expected that consider
able number OF new students will be en-
rolled. This excellent institution was
never as well equipped for satisfactory
work as il is at present, and the opportu-
mites il affords should be taken advantage
OF by the people of this section OF the
State.
In the arrangement between the Nor
NAL Board and the University Extension
authorities il is provided that part OF
Miss Woods time shall be given TO DEM
onstration work in different parts OF JET
ferson county. During the fall and winter
terms she has had large classes OF ladies
at Leetown, Shenandoah Junction and
Kearneysuille, who are enthusiastic in
praise of her work and desire that il be
continued, but the head of the extension
department desires that other places in
the county shall receive the benefit Of this
instruction. The question has been rails
ed whether an extension course cannot
be given at the College for Shepherds
town and the community round about,
and it has been determined TO offer such
a course here during the spring term if
good-sized class can be organized. La
dies who are interested may see Miss
Woods or Principal Miller this week.

whiskey causes An Awful Death.

Whiskey of the Sharpsburg brand was
responsible tor the awful death OF an I'M
known man last Saturday night on the
Norfolk & Western Railway about hail
mile north of Shepherdstown, on the
Maryland side ofthe river. The stranger,
who was man of medium size ard a
cripple, had been hanging around Sharps-
burg in company with two other hoboes,
one of them an umbrella mender, and the
three were liberal patrons OF the saloons
in that place. Saturday night the man
was in Shepherdstown begging, asking
for money TO get something TO eat. He
collected small sums from number OF
persons, but if was invested in whisky
instead OF food. He had number OF
cards, on which were printed verses
asking for charity. and these were handed
out TO secure contributions. He returned
to Maryland some time during the even
ing.
Sunday morning Mike Prather, track
walker on the railroad, found the mans
remains on the track few hundred yards
north OF the Maryland end of the railroad
bridge here. II was sickeuing sight.
The body had been literally ground TO
pieces, and for perhaps twenty yards the
track was strewn with blood, brains and
bits OF flesh. II was entirely diSmember-
ed, and was almost unacceptable as
that OF a human being. From the indi-
cations it was apparent that the man had
been struck by the locomotive, thrown
forward about ten feet and was then run
over by the entire train. A quart bottle
of whiskeY, about hall empty, was lying
unbroken between the rails.
Magistrate Hoffmaster, Of SharpSburg,
was notified and went 10 the place TO
view the remains. After hearing all that
he could about the matter, he decided
that an inquest was unnecessary. The
remains were taken in charge by under
taker Leaf and were buried in the grave
yard at WilIiamSport. The umbrella
member, who had been with the man for
several days, was Intercepted, but knew
very little about him, although he thought
he was from Baltimore. He said that the
man had left him and the third member
of the gang earlier in the night and they
knew nothing as to how he was killed.
Some persons thought that the three had
quareled and fought over the liquor and
that the Baltimore man was thrown on
the track and left 10 his fate. There was
nothing that could be proven, however,
and the truth will probably never be re-
vealed.
This is the third man killed by the cars
between Shepherdstown and SharpS-
burg within the past couple of months.

New FIGURING MiIlFor Shepherdstown.
Charles N. Whiting, who for number
Of years has owned and managed what is
known as the Bl!luyer Touring mill west
of this place, has made arrangements to
begin the erection of his large new mill
in Shepherdstown the first of April MIR.
Whiting moved to town the first OF the
week, and will himself supervise the
erection Of the mill and the installation OF
the machinery. He will have associated
with him in the construction F. o. Trump,
the Kearneysville contractor. The new
mill will be located on the LOT purchased
from 6. NJ. Beltzhoover at the corner
of Washington and Princess streets.
This is on the line OF the Norfolk & West
ern Railway and siding has been laid
into the property. TO facilitate the hauling
Of the building material and TO provide
shipping convenienceS when the mill be-
gins operations. The mill will be three
stores and a-half in height, with base
ment SO by 90 feet in size. II will be OF
concrete TO the second story, the upper
part 10 be OF frame construction. II will
be run by an improved Diesel oil engine,
in which crude oil is used for fuel. The
milling machinery, which will be OF the
most up-to- date character, has been con-
tracted for with the Barnard & Leas Man
ufacturing Company, OF Moline, Illinois,
and will be ready for installation by the
time the building is ready.
The capacity of the mill is 10 be hun
bred barrels Of flour day-tar in excess
of anything we have ever before had in
this immediate communicated 1t will
require great quantity OF wheat TO keep
if busy. about 1900 bushels month.
Although this is wheat growing section,
doubtless a considerable part OF the wheat
will have 10 be shipped in from other
places. We understand that the mil! IS
10 be one OF the most complete that can
be constructed, the very latest thing in
the way of improved machinery and
methods of manufacture, with every ia
ciity for the making OF the very best flour.
Mr.. Whiting is miller OF experience,
having learned the business with the late
d Frank BiIlmyer, and having been the
proprietor of the mill since Mr.. Blllmyer
retired from business a number OF years
ago. We hope that he may be entirely
successful in his new venture and that
the big mill that he proposes 10 erect will
add materially 10 the business OF our
town.

A Chicken Mystery.

Rev. Mr.. SydenStricker, ofthe Southern
Methodist Church, has had hard time
the past week explaining away chicken
episode in which he is involved. He
went 10 Robert Bane's TO make pastoral
call, and hitched his team near the house.
When he was ready to go home he drove
away, and later as he was putting his
buggy in the shed he found hen and a
new-laid egg in the back part OF the We
hicle. The minister denied having put
the fowl there and MIR. Bane is equally
firm in his statement that he had nothing
to DO with il. II is Of course improbable
that any chicken would voluntarily place
itself in possession of Methodist minis
ter. and so the mystery remains unsolved.
Mr.. Bane thinks that possibly the hen
had desire to enter the ministry, but we
hold to the opinion that she had an I'M
happy life and meant 10 commit suicide
in sure and certain way. We publish
these facts so that Or Methodist friends
NAV be warned when Brother Syden-
stricken comes a-visiting.

Exterminating the Cattle Disease.

DISCRIMINATING the Cattle Disease.
The State and federal officials seem 10
have been successful in their efforts TO
exterminate the ioot-and-mouth disease
among cattle in this section A cow be-
longing 10 Martin Airport, on the Swan
Pond road in Berkeley county,was found
to be infected several days ago, but il
was promptly killed and buried and the
premises disinfected. II is said that a
calf bought at the Felker sale had been
left at Allport'S over night, and his cow
was thus infected. In Martinsburg on
Monday the infection was discovered
among some hogs at John divers Slaugh-
ter-house in Martinsburg, and thirteen OF
the animals were at once destroyed. The
above are the only new cases reported
the past week.
o. L. Lockwood, an expert from the
Agricultural Department at Washington,
has been in ShepherdStown the past week
looking after matters connected with the
trouble. Hehas been inspecting all herds
where there seemed to be possibility OF
the disease breaking out, but no infection
has been discovered.
The quarantine regulations have been
modified considerably in Berkeley coun
ty, and farmers mp that way are now per-
mitted 10 take butter, eggs and milk into
Martinsburg, provided there has been no
infection on the farm from which they
come.
Under the quarantine regulations now
in effect Shepherdstown butchers are not
permitted TO drive cattle TO their butcher
shops, nor are they allowed TO haul calves
hogs or sheep in vehicles. They may
kill live stock in the country and haul
he dressed meat TO town, provided that
they leave the hides, heads and feet at
the place where the animal IS killed
The authorities, it is said. will issue
certificates to those persons who wish 10
change their place of residence between
now and April lst, provided an inspection
shows no trace OF the disease and no
likelihood of spreading the contagion.
The certificates will permit the moving
OF live stock, farm products, etc.
