get on the ground early while the
old ones unless they have some press

things are under full Roadway.
1t is claimed by the University
authorities that there will be a much
larger attendance than ever before

STILL In JAIL.
Parkersbnrg Bigamist Cannot Find
Anyone to Get Him Out of Hoe.

PARKERsBuRG, Sept 14-Robert II.
jackson, the alleged bigamist, has
so far failed to give bond, and is
still confined to Jail. He has made
efforts to get some one to 60 on his
bond but has not succeeded. He
sent out word to several republican
candidates, but they are fighting
shy of the opportunity to put up
$500 for him.
The news of Jackson's arrest was
conveyed to his wife by neighbor
This was the first intimation she
had of any trouble. When informed
that he was charged with bigamy
she NEARLY swooned She went to
the home of neighbor where she
remained all night, and was in a Sc
rious condition from the shock, so
much so that she was nearly pros
trate all that night. She is still I'M
aware of the fact jackson is sus-
pected of being colored man and
and that his other wife is colored
woman. Everyone in the nei9hbor-
hood sympathizes with her. She
sent word for her brother to come
here.
This morning Bolt Rush, brother
of Mrs. Jackson No. 2, and Miss
Rush, sister, came up from Lubbock
to investigate the matter. Mr..
Rush is merchant at Lubbock, and
the family is a prominent one in
that section. Mr. Rush says that
when Jackson became engaged to
his sister over four years ago he OPP
posed the match Tor the reason that
he knew nothing about him. He
sent letter OF inquiry to the chief
of police at Uniontown and received
a letter in reply to the effect that so
far as he knew Jackson was all right
and bore good reputation in that
city, but he knew very little about
him, as he had been away from I'm
iontown for some time. Rush says
he Investigated his record here and
found that jackson had been con-
Quoting himself all right. and no
further objection was made to the
marriage. He says the family feel
keenly the disgrace of the affair.
None of them had any idea that he
had another wife or that he was
other than a white man.

Where Is Jim Bryne? That is
the question now being asked by
his intimate friends in Morgantown.
He has not been seen by any one
since last Thursday morning Sep.
TENDER 9th. He was then going from
Smithfleld into the new klondyke

Has he met the fate oil so many

to point in that direction.
Mrs. Byrne who lives at Browns

the Klondike but so far has been able
to hear nothing of him. His tlrm has
not heard anything from him since
last Thursday when he started TO 20

When he was in Morgantown he
was apparently in the best Of health
and spirits and leaving here for Fay

He bought revolver before be left
here presumably on account of the un-
savory reputation Of that section.
For more than Il score of years
James Byrne has been constant visi-

everybody and they all like him.
They are very anxious about him and
several people among them being John
Lantz and Ed. Herd are doing their
best to locate the missing man or hear
some trace Of him. So far they have
heard nothing.
His accounts are all straight and
there is no reason for his absence that
is known aside from foul play having
been made With him.

mont people have always made that a

they make Fairmont permanent
meeting place, not only from the fact
that they were so cordially treated,
hut because it is centrally located.

a few exceptions was successfully car
ried out, and the last days session con-
sisted mainly OF addresses delivered

Some argue that American rule in the
Philippine islands will result in the better
education, Of the Filipnos; Be not de-
ial policy We shall not find 1t to our add
vantage to educate the people. The cdu-
Gated tl!ipinos are now in revolt against

we are to govern them without their con.
sent and give them no voice In determining

declaration Of Independence and the con-
stitution OF the United States and mock
US for our Inconsistency.
The principal arguments, however, ad-
Vanced oy those who enter upon defense
OF imperialism are:
opportunity to become a world power and
enter into international politics.
SECOND, That our commercial interests in
the Philippine islands ard in the orient
lands permanently.
Third, That the spread Of the Christian
religion will be facilitated by colonial
Fourth, That there is no honorable re-
treat from the position which the nation
has taken.
The first argument is addressed to the
nations pride and the second to the ma

for the church member and the fourth for
the partisan.
