Estimable Lady Dies Rather Suddenly a her Home on Madison' Street After 3 o'clock. Due to a le and Complica- rWas Miss Church- Augusta County. The community will be grieved, to learn of thd death of Mrs. William C. Geiger, which occurred rather suddenly this afternoon at 3:15 o'clock, at the family residence on North Madison street.

Fewiof Krs. Geiger's friends had any intimation that the was crili call? ill and! they will be distressed to hear of her death, which was due to heart trouble and several complications. Mrs. Geigef was Miss Fanny Churchman before ttiarriage and was a sister of Hon. Joha W.

Churchman, of the Virginia- House of Representatives. She was bom neat Staunton and was about 64 yeans of age. Her husband, two sons and a daughter surf iye ler The tons are Dr. JoIiaC. Geiger, of "Huntington, W.

and RtV.i Henry C. Geiger, of Hampton. Mias Nancy Geiger, of this city, is her only daughter. The deceased was an estimable woman of the highest character and had scores of friends throughout Augusta county and Staun'on, as well as in other parts of jthe Stats. The arrangements for the funeral have not been completed as vet, Two Lien Killed In The moat disastrous wreck on the Valley Division since the road has been operated by the Southern Railway occurred yesterday atPugb'a Run bridge one mile north of Woodstock.

By some miintepretation of orders, yet to explained, two freight trains which should have passed each other at collided head-on near the north end of the bridge FCrinrfl Deatli Trou tions.j man uoiofiy The General Hospital Board of Virginia meets in Staunton at' the West ern btate Hospital tomorrow. One of the leading questions ta be discussed is the location of the proposed epilep-tic'solony which is to be run in connection with the local asylum. A delegation from Lynchburg ill be here to represent Amherst's interests, but it is believed that the majority of the board will favor Staunton as a location, in vie oi the fact that several thousand dollars will be saved annually to the State if the colony is located here. The Legislature provided that the colony be established ia Amherst, but definite action by the board will be deferred until the next meeting of the Legislature, in order that authority may ba obtained to place the colony here. Wbila the city of Lynchburg ia making every effort to get the colony, wnico win mean an inestimable im petus to the buaioeBS of the city near which 1C is located, tha city of Staunton stands by with folded hands and ays nothing.

Bv all means the colony should be secured for the Queen City of the Valley; Tribute To Heir On I1.S.H. Board Much credit is due Dr. J. S. DeJar- nette, superintendent of the Western State Hospital for the Insane at Staun ton, and to the directors of this institution, of whom Mr.

Scott H. Uans-brough is one, for the excellent and efficient manner ia which the affairs of the asylum are conducted. The asylum now has over 1100 pati ents, and, with the attendants, there are over 13(H) inmates, and in Bpite of this large number, every patient receives the personal attention of the iperintendent and directors, and every patient ts given all' reasonable comforts and consideration. The directors are performing a no ble and patriotic duty without com pensation, which ia often onerous and disagreeable, and they deserve the thanks of the oeople of Virginia for the blc and concientioua manner in which they perform their duties. There is no field for human kindness so large as is open to one connected with an institution such as this, and every director should feci that he is performing a duty which ia at the same time unselfish and charitable.

ARTHUR BLACKFORD mm AND W. ARTHUR BLACKFORD No. 301 SOUTH JEFFERSON STREET WW True Freedom? Many thousands of people, representing tha membership of the Young Man's Christian Association the world over, are observing the "Week of Prayer" at this time and with them the local association joins in andoffers i supplications before the throne of God. A meeting of intense spiritu ality was held at the Y. M.

C. A. last night and others will follow every night this week at 3 o'clock. Rev. C.

0. Woodward, of Clifton Forge, is the speaker, and it is re freshing and inspiring to listen to his unique manner, cf presenting the Gospel. In his Monday night address, Mr. Woodward took his text from St. John's Gojpel "Whattoever He saith unto you, dj it.

The theme was ''Obedience" and it was handled masterfully. The speaker said there are three kinds of people in the world those who do their own will; those who do the will of another; those who do the will of God. He termed the first class rebels, the second slaves and the third God's freemen. Mr. Wot dward said thore who do only their own will are spiritual anarchists and are not indeed free as they im-jgire, but are living in the bonds of iniquity with the vain and delusive idea tiat the? are freehand UYif etttjed." He dedarei that "perfect freedom is perfect harmony with JGod'a will" and illustrated the statement with several, striking word-paintings." As tormr to learn what God a will is, Mr.

Woodward referred hi i hearers to the Bible, which, said he, is a complete revelation of the Devine Will. He also cited conscience as a spiritual monitor, and a revealer of God's Will. He showed that disobedience to God robs a man of power and makes bim a klave to sin. Growing Mushrooms In Luray Caverns 'A novel enterprise, the growing of mushrooms in the limestone caverns of Page county, is now going on with vigor in the "Cave Gardens of Luray," an annex to the celebrated Luray caverns. The enterprise wss launched by F.

Ki Walls, Annapolis, who conceived the idea that the mushroom would come to perfection in moisture and even temperature of this underground world. The Cave Gardens of Luray have been so arranged by Mr. Wells that the temperature is about 55 degrees the entir Their growth is very rapid in this salubrious atmosphere, They become far mors tender than thoee found growing wild. This too, destroys the deadly confuiion often arising in the toadstool and mushroom, which annually means the dear. of many persons.

Pick-Ups The Week of Prayer is being observed at the Y. M. C. A. with special services every night at 8 o'clcek.

Rev. C. 0. Woodward, is' one of the most interesting speakers heard here in a long time. Everybody should hear his admirable addresses.
