[MANES, GEORGE GALEN] The cause for the Manes youth taking his life remained a mystery to his family and friends today, and they could give no motive for the deed, Dr. Wallis said this afternoon. Galen got the poison at a drug store at Burlington Junction at 7 o'clock this morning, it was learned. It was reported at first that the youth died from injuries received when kicked by one of the untamed horses or mules at the farm, but this was discounted later, the coroner stating the wound had nothing to do with his death. When the youth failed to return home or to school this morning, a search was made for him, and he was found unconscious at the rear of the barn on the stock farm. A slight wound was found in his upper right forehead. He died in the office of Dr. W. S. Hindman of Burlington Junction, where he was taken for treatment at 12:30 o'clock today at noon.

Claude Thompson, coach of the Burlington Junction High School, announced this afternoon that on account of the loss of Galen from the team, the Burlington Junction quintet will not participate in the Northwest Missouri basketball tournament this week at the State Teachers College.
[MANES, GEORGE GALEN] "Don't worry. I'll be all right. When you find this will all be over. Nobody is to blame but myself. I am a failure in school and a failure in other things and I am afraid I'll be a failure in life." The funeral services will be held at the Methodist church at Burlington Junction at 1 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Burial will be at Blanchard, Ia. The Rev. J. Howard Thompson will conduct the funeral. Galen's mother also is buried at Blanchard. Galen had been out of school at various times in his life and the fact that he lacked only a few days of his twentieth birthday while he was only a sophomore is thought to have discouraged him. The statement yesterday that he was a senior was an error. The boy lived, with his father and brother George, at the home of his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Manes, near Burlington Junction. There is a sister, Bernice, also. The boy had lived at Burlington Junction seven or eight years. Galen got the poison at a drug store at Burlington Junction at 7 o'clock yesterday morning, it was learned. A rumor, declared unfounded, was that depression over a disappointing love affair Galen had had with a Burlington Junction girl might have played a part in the youth's suicide. It was reported at first that the youth died from injuries received when kicked by one of the untamed horses or mules in his father's barn, where he had gone to feed the animals. Galen and his brother were members of the Burlington Junction basketball team. The boys were on the team that played in the county tournament at Elmo Saturday. "Galen was a sophomore and he was rather old compared to the other students in the class, but he was an average student and he was not failing in "any of his subjects," declared H. B. Rutledge, superintendent of schools at Burlington Junction where the boy was a student. "Galen's idea that he was a failure was an illusion. He was perhaps somewhat odd in his ways, but he was well liked by everybody. He was a good chap. He was retarded in school. His mother's illness and death caused some delay and he was older than others when he entered school." The pallbearers at the funeral will be high school students. The high school will be dismissed for the services. "Galen was in good spirits at basketball practice Monday night. He was always on time and always was in a good humor," Coach Claude Thompson of Burlington Junction High School said today.

[WEAVER, CLARK] Clark Weaver, 84 years and 5 months of age, died at 6 p. m. yesterday in his rooms above the small clothing store which he and his brother, Frank S. Weaver, conducted on West Third street, in the first room west of the Democrat-Forum and Tribune office. The direct cause of death was uremic poisoning, but Mr. Weaver had suffered for many months.

Funeral services will be held at the Price Funeral Home on West Third Street at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, to be conducted by Dr. C. C. James of the First M. E. Church. Burial will be made in Oak Hill cemetery, Maryville. Clark Weaver was born in Tuscarawas County, Ohio, September 21, 1842, the son of DeLoss Weaver and Sarah McNamee, and was one of a family of twelve children. His parents moved to Nodaway County when Clark was 14 years old and in the fall of 1856 his father bought a farm sixteen miles south of Maryville. His father for a time operated a stagecoach that ran between Maryville and St. Joseph. He died in 1862 and Clark remained on the farm until 1872. However, the youth served with the state militia during the Civil War. Mr. Weaver moved to Maryville in 1872 and worked for his brother, R. P. Weaver, in the clothing business. This brother died in 1885 and Clark took over the business. His mother lived with him then. The business was then located where the Peter Dietz tailor shop is now located on West third street. In 1891 Mr. Weaver bought the building west of the Democrat-Forum and Tribune office and has continued in the clothing business ever since with his only surviving brother, Frank S., being associated with him the last seven years. Mr. Weaver never married and did not belong to any fraternal or veterans' organizations. His brother said today he was undecided what his plans for the future would be. The only other relatives are three nephews who live in Kansas City, who came to attend the funeral services. They are DeLoss, Carl and C. E. Weaver of Kansas City. C. E. Weaver was accompanied by Mrs. Weaver.
