that of an oven, and the suffering was
intense. The animals had no grass
and no water. and marching In the
day time was impossible. AT the few
isolated wells Mongols were encamped
in the vicinity and they refused 10 al
low us to draw water, fearing we
would poison the wells.
After thirty eight days Of terrible
anxiety we reached Urga. ON the other
side of the desert, we presented sor-
ry spectacle. The Russian consul gen.
eral was most kind. He gave up to
US fourteen rooms in the consulate.
But, to our dismay. the consul told
us we must leave forthwith as there
were 1900 Mongol troops in the neigh
borhood who might be hostile. He al

Mongols were gathering for religious
festival, and that II we valued our
safety we had better clear out without
delay.
A fortnight later, August 18th. we
reached Kiakhta, and remained there
till August 9th.

A negro conference in Charlottes

prayer to the intelligent white peo-
pie Of Virginia" not to disfranchise the
colored people OF the state, and asks,
if a measure of disfranchisement is to
be passed. that it apply to both races
alike. The appeal, which is described
as non-partisan. goes further, and asks
the white races aid in the matter OF

In the Second.

In another column of the News
appears an exceedingly interesting
article by a staff correspondent on
the Republican situation in the Sec
ond district. Mr.. Dayton has a
sure enough fight on his hands this
year and his re- nomination is very
much in question. Mr.. Meredith, of
Fairmont, Mr.. Holt, of Grafton, and
Mr. Pitzer, of Martinsburg, seem to
have pooled their issues against the
congressman in favor of the first
named, and their followers seem con-
fident that they will accomplish their
ends. Heretofore Mr. Day ton has
had comparatively easy time Sc
curing denomination, but this time
he appears to be "up against it,
and it would not be surprising if
'.the man who beat Wilson" would
soon learn how it feels to come out
second in a fight. However, his
friends are strainlng every effort to
land him again and it is too early to
predict the outcome of the fight

law because the Law is the only me-
diam through which the people can
properly remove any evil.
Upon these premises ne based his
arguments and delivered a terrific ar
raignment OF trusts and corporations.
Among other things he said: Trusts
are despots. A good despot may be a
blessing but the principal or despotism
is bad The history of every fallen
nation, the charred ruins OF cities fall
len and the shattered tinsels of mon
archs dethronei teach us that power
without responsibility is power abus-
ed. 1t is the browning glory of the
Anglo Saxon that he holds his liberty
-dearer than he does his life. He has
ever struggled for Individual liberty
and has fought tyranny In every form,
aud from whatever source, whether
from monarch or monopolist. For
this reason we have become great.
Our nation, itself, is protest against
despotism.'
Mr.. Tusca Fl. Morris was the Sec
ond speaker on the negative. Mr..
Morris is good elocutionist and
his production was excellent. He
said: Under trusts the price Of COM
modities had been cheapened. Oil
was formerly sold at % cents gallon
now retails at 5 cents. Hundreds Of
other commodities might be cited.
Trusts were not alone responsible for
the hundreds of idle men, but great
inventions were responsible. The
spinning jenny, the type setting ma
chimes. and other inventions had
thrown thousands out Of employment.
Independent companies commit the
same wrongs which are not charged
against the trusts. Trusts could not
be prohibited by law. In 1894 TWEEN
ty-two States passed blasting anti
trust laws yet in a large measure all
failed Fifty years ago England aban-
doned the plan Of prohibiting trusts
by law. There were certain trusts
which existed because of cireum
stances which cannot be regulated by
law. The paper trust existed because
it owned all the forests in which the
wood was obtained; the anthracite
coal fields, the nail and steel wire
trust We're protected by patents the
ice trust recently formed inNeW York
was entrenched by legislative favorit-
ism, the authorities Of New York
city being stockholders.
Mr.. Nannoy, the first speaker on the
affirmative, closed the debate in five
minute speech which was spirited and
to the point.
The judges for the evening, Hon.
w. G. Young, of Buckhannon, Rev.
Frank S. Townsend, OF Pafkersburg,
and Prof. W II. Gallup. of Morgan
town, decided by vote of two to one
in favor of the negative, Mr.. Young
voted in the affirmative. Hon. John
W, Davis, of Clarksburg, had been
selected but as he could not be here
Supt Gallup was appointed The
question discussed last night is
political one on which the two great
parties have taken sides. 1t will be
noticed that the judges last evening
were all Republicans. This was hardly
fair to the Parthenon society any
more than it would have been to Sc
lect three Democrats.

The postmaster at Morgantown DIR.
Fitch will get 81, 800 next year in
stead of two hundred less as he has
been getting. The two hundred dol
lar jump is on account of the large
increase of business during the last
year Fairmont went up one notch
and will now receive the same amount
of salary as the Morgantown man

another spasm over what this paper
said in regard to the way Morgantown

Charge Other indictments Return
ed Everett Taylor appears In Court
Trial Takes Place Next Tuesday
Proceedings In Detail.
When the grand jury reported on
Thursday evening they sprung a
big surprise on the public. Among
the indictments returned were two
against Frank b. Bannister one of
the most prominent men in town.
He was indicted by the Seneca Glass
factory of which he until recently
was secretary and manager.
The allegations Of the Seneca on
which the indictments were found
include false entries and obtaining
money under false pretenses. They
claim that he also made them pay
royalties on machine claiming that
he had a patent on it when real
ity he mad no such patent.
All of these allegations are denied
by Bannister and his attorneys Cox
d Baker. They refuse TO talk for
publication but assert that they will
be able to knock the indictments
out without trouble. Bannister
gave bail in the sun of one thous-
and dollars in each indictment with
Col. Jos. MeDermott as his surety
Mr. Bannister is one OF the owners
of the Morgantown Glass Works
and is also heavy stakeholder in
Seneca. He is regarded as sub
stantial business man and has been
above reproaeh in the business
world. He has many friends here
and elsewhere who hope that he will
come out of the present position
indicated.
Other indictments returned were:
