Mr.. 0ageby Takes His Own Life


d. Allen Gageby, wellknown resi-
dent OF the Bardane neighborhood of this
county. died this morning about 3 O'Clock
from the effects of Paris green poisoning,
evidently done with suicidal intent. Mr..
Gageby owned a little place near Bardane,
and being bachelor, shared his home
with aged Mrs. Smallwood. Last even
ing |. Taylor Smallwood went TO see his
mother, and saw MIR. Gageby sitting mo-
tionless in a chair in his room. Being
unable to arouse him, DR.. Brown was
sent for and relatives were summoned.
1t was discovered that Mr.. Gageby had
taken a very large dose OF Paris green,
and though efforts were made to counter
act the effects of the poison, they were
fruitless, and shortly before three O'Clock
he expired. There was no known reason
why he should have taken his own life,
as he was prosperous and apparently had
no troubles, and some of his friends think
that he may have taken the poison by
mistake. Mr.. Gageby, who was IS years
old, was lifelong resident of that Sec
ton, and was highly regarded for his
many good qualities. He is survived by
one brother, Edward Gageby, of Engle's,
and three sisters. Mrs. Mary Bradfield
and Mrs. Maggie Hill, of Baltimore, and
Mrs. John 6. Boyer, OF Mechanicstown.
The funeral service will be held Saturday
morning at II O'Clock in the church al
Bardane, interment in Elmwood Gene
terry, Shepherdstown.

Making A Bad Start.

A. ]. Rutherford, a young man OF Kear-
neysville who is but II years OF age, has
made a mighty bad start in life, and is
now under arrest on the ugly charge OF
forgery. A short time ago Rutherford
forged the name of F. o. Trump TO a
check for SD, drawn on the Farmers Bank
ofShepherdstown. The check was caShed
by bank in Martinsburg, and when it
reached here the forgery was detected.
When Rutherford learned that his act was
going TO get him into trouble he decided
to clear out, but he only made matters
worse, for he stole horse on which to
make his escape. He took from stable
horse belonging TO Mrs. Cox, neigh
Dor, and came through Shepherdstown
on his way to Maryland. Before he got
to Sharpsburg he abandoned the animal,
which strolled TO Frank Needy's place.
Mr.. Needy put the horse in his barn and
later It was restored 10 the owner. In the
meantime word had been sent TO Hagers-
town, and the officers got on Rutherford's
trail Sheriff Long and Chief OF Police
Fridinger located him at the home of
friends near Rowland'S Mill and arrested
him. 1t is said that he admitted both
charges-in relation 10 the check and the
taking ofthe horse-and he was thereupon
brought back to this county, where he
will await trial.

Basketball Affairs.

One Of the most enjoyable has ketball
games Of the season was played here last
Thursday night, when the Shepherd Col
lege quint went up against the fast team
from Davis and Elkins College. The
visitors won by the score of IS to q, but
no one was sore, for the Elkins boys
played such fine game that We could
only agree that they were the best men
and earned what they got Besides play
ing splendid game, they were clean and
fair and sportsmanlike, and the sting OF
defeat was not felt very keenly by any
one. Our own team put upa fine game
and we were proud of them, for every
body knew that the boys were fighting
against heavy odds. The game was ref
creed with absolute impartiality by VIM.
b. Snyder, and the Elkins contingent
publicly expressed their appreciation Of
his fairness and OF the decent treatment
they received here also from their oppo-
nents and the rooters. They remained
here all day Friday, so thoroughly were
they pleased with the hospitality and the
genuine spirit of sport that prevailed.
Twas different story, however, when
the Elkins boys played in Martinsburg
Friday night. Here they met the strong
Y. M. c. A. team, seasoned veterans who
play remarkably we'll. A considerable
contingent of Shepherdstowners went up
to see the game, and they soon became
strong rooters for the Davis and Elkins
boys, who were given raw deal from
the start. The Martinsburg men started
to rough-house the visitors right away
and Durburow, the referee, not only let
them get away with it but ably assisted
in robbing the Elkins team. He called
nineteen fouls on the visitors and but three
on the home men. The Davis and Ekins
boys would have won if they had gotten
fair treatment, but the rotten decisions
gave the Y. M. Unchristian Association
the score by 40 to 80. The treatment OF
the visitors was so rank that even the
fair-minded among the home folks were
ashamed OF it, and the Martinsburg World
naively admitted that Durburow, the ref
cree, was the man that won the game.
The Y. M. c. A. team is one Of the
strongest in the State, but it weakens it.
self when it deliberately tries TO cripple
its opponents and depends on its referee
TO win its games.
The Shepherd College Midgets and the
Graded School Won't ve-UpS had a
spirited game in the college gymnasium
Saturday night. The college boys were
too heavy for the youngsters, the former
winning by tine score OF q to Is. The
roofing for the little fellows was the real
thing.
There will be game in firemen's hall
Saturday night at 100 between the town
team and the second college team.

With the Sick.

Prof Frank A. Byerly, who has been in
poor health for some months past, went
TO Martinsburg on Tuesday, to undergo
an operation al the City Hospital. He
was obliged to discontinue his work in
the high school at Petersburg, w. Va,
before Christmas because of his illness,
and his physicians agreed that he would
not obtain permanent relief until he was
operated upon. He went TO the hospital
hopefully and cheerfullY, and his friends
here trust that he may come through the
ordeal safely and be permanently restored
TO health.
We are sorry 10 report that there has
been no material improvementin the cou-
dition OF Rev. DR.. Charles Ghiselin, who
is still in the hospital in Charles Town.
He has not yet been operated upon, but
it is feared that this will have 10 be done
in order that relief may be afforded. His
many friends in this county and in other
sections are greatly interested in him and
pray that his health may be restored.
Mrs. Charles A. Licklider was here from
Baltimore couple OF days the past week.
While Mr.. Licklider is improving, he is
still obliged 10 bevery careful ofhis health,
and his physician has recommended that
he shall seek change of climate. II they
can find suitable quarters they will come
to Shepherdstown in the spring.

Destructive Farm Fire.

The barn and outbuildings, including
the corn crib, shedding, etc., on The farm
OF ]. B. Coyle, between Charles Town
and Leetown, were destroyed by fire OF
mysterious origin early Tuesday morning.
The fire was first seen about half-past
four O'Clock and the barn was then so
enveloped in flames that nothing could be
gotten out OF il, and Of the live stock only
one horse was saved. Seven horses and
colts and twenty sheep were burned 10
death. Mr.. Coyle lost all OF his farming
implements and harness that were in the
barn, besides Is 10 100 bushels of corn,
several tons OF hay and much other prop
erty. There was an insurance OF $3.50 on
the barn and $3.50 on the contents, but
there was no insurance on the live stock.
The loss is heavy one TO Mr.. Coyle.
No one knows how the fire originated.
When first discovered it seemed TO be
most intense about the sheep sheds, but
ust what started it may n ever be known.

Farmers School A Great Success.
The farmers school at Shepherd COL
lege this week has been successful and
beneficial beyond the highest anticipationS

E. Bear, professor of soils, and Prof. J.
!. Yoke, instructor in animal industry,
have held the close attention OF the FARM
ers and others, and interesting discussions
have been provoked by the questions Of
those interested in the various subjects
discussed. The instructors are men of
practical experience as well as students
OF the theoretical part OF farm manage
ment, stock raising. etc, and their argu-
ments and demonstrations have been alb
solutely clear and convincing and salts
flying. Today and tomorrow Prof. 0. NJ.

ready their guests, representing various
sets of Washington society, have taken
deep interest in the effort in hand, and
expressed the hope that during the COM
ing spring the city may be brought closer
TO the great Elizabethan productions. The
idea OF those in charge of the effort is that
the proposed festival shall be held out
doors in one of the parks OF the City
Washington Star.
When a-body thinks about it, the law
presents some queer incongruities. For
instance, the Maryland courts license sa-
lcon-keepers TO sell liquor and make
their customers drunk; then when those
who ;mblbe get bit wabbly, as natural
effect, the same courts step in and punish
them severely for the inevitable thing that
happens as result of the licensing sys-
tenn. Davis HumrickhouSe. OF this place,
some time ago was accused of riding
motorcycle in the SharpSburg neighbour
hood while intoxicated, and warrant
was sworn out for his arrest. Monday
night he unwisely adventured into Mary
land again, whereupon someone tele-
phoned TO the officers in Hagerstown,
who hurried down in an automobile and
nabbed Davis on Douglas hill, in sight
of home-just about five minutes from
safety on the West Virginia shore. He
was taken to Hagerstown for an uncom-
Portable night in the bastile, and Tuesday
had trial before Justice Hofimaster, OF
Sharpsburg. The lowest fine in such a
case is $50, and the prisoner pleading
guilty, he was assessed with this sum and
the costs, making total of $57.5S. Up
on payment of the amount he was re-
leased. Hickey says never again"

SHRINKING OF THE MUSCLES AFTER lNFAMTME
PkRAL YSlS.
PARAL YSlS.

For several days the urse OF irfan-
tile paralysis is that of an ordinary in
fictitious disease. Somewhere TIVE
the first and the sixth days muscular
weakness begins. This symptom is liza
Ole to he overlooked unless the physi-
elan and the family especially test the
muscles.
The methods of testing consists in
having the patient draw his kness up
against resistance or push with his feet
against resistance.
About one OR two weeks after the at
tack begins electrical tests will show
that the muscles and nerves are degcn-
Grating. About two or three weeks
after the onset of the disease the
shrinking of the muscles is apparent to
the eye. Electrical tests SHOW that the
deeenerating changes in the muscles
n nerves keep up for about six
months.
n shrinking of the muscles MAJ not
be present at all. When present it does
not start for several days after the dis
ease has started and proceeds slowly.
BY skillful manipulation begun in time
.irely prevented. The time to begin is
at once when it is seen hat danger TO
life has passed. AS soon as the tenn
perature returns to normal manipula-
ton Of the affected limbs should be be-
gun.
In mild cases tt is possible to begin
massage within two weeks of the on
set of the disease. In more severe cases

ii should not be begun until later. Many
patients pass through a stage in CON-
Nalenscence when the paralyzed limbs
are too tender to be handled with
comfort. Most authorities hold that
cases should not be manipulated dur
ing the tender stages. 1t may 10
necessary to delay the beginning OF
massage and manipulation for two
months. but it should not be delayed
longer than three months.
Amy tendency of the paralyzed limbs
to draw must be overcome by sand
bags or splints. Manipulation of the
paralyZed limbs must be persisted in.
There is no magic abou it. Patient.
persistent work is necessary to accom-
plish results.
A few years ago it was taught that IL
the case had been neglected for six
months there was no hope of improve
ment. The teaching at the present
! time is that intelligent. persistent pa
tient, passive motion, manipulation.
massage. and muscle training will
greatly improve some cases that have
been neglected for years.
OF 205 persons in the Buff
falo epidemic. % per cent showed no
signs of wasting six months after their
illness.
In not all the cases can muscle
shrinking be prevented, but the proper
ton in which this after effect can be
prevented is large. Even after wasting
has beer in evidence for years i'm
proNement is possible, at least in some
cases.
