stop to think that the Providence OF God
never smiles upon us as much under a
Republican as under a Democratic adj
ministrations
Thirty DAYS after Bryan's nomination
four years ago Bryan would have swept
the country, simply because the people
were in such condition that they were
willing to try anything.
The free silver question is still an issue
before the country. A Mexican coming
across the border into our country hands
us dollar for 50 cents and makes an
apology. We don't want it to be the case
that an American going into Canada
would have to change dollar for 80 cts.
and make an apology for the GODDESS OF
Liberty on top OF it.
The Senator said the way to kill trusts
is TO elect Democratic presid mt. Then
YOU will knock them all to pieces, for
trusts are simply combination OF capi-
tai. You can shut out the trusts and you
can shut yourselves out OF the factory.
You will never do good by attempting TO
destroy combination of CAPT al. Great
capital can work better together, he said,
than when divided up.
The speaker then took up Imperialism
and the results OF the Spanish American
war. how unexpectedly and by the force
OF circumstances the country came into
the possession OF the Philippines, at took
a two third vote of the Senate to ratify the
treaty OF peace and it wouldn't have been
ratified hadn't BRYAN urged it," he said.
"He used his mighty influence to have
the Democrats ratify it, or the Philippines
would have been lost to US. VIM. Bry-
an, more than any other man in the coun-
try, made the Philippine Islands part of
this country, and he did it simply for cam
paign PURPOSES. They say we can't gov
ern without the consent of the governed.
Why our great forefathers once governed
a race without their consent and we ace
now doing il on the reservations in the
West. When the pilgrims came 20 this
country they first fell upon their knees,
then upon the Aboriginees."
You West Virginans have man IN

place with any other living man. / refer

of every Senator and of the people OF the
country Stephen B. Elkins.
The Senator concluded his address with
poetical tribute to the flag, at the con-
clusion of which, amidst applause, the

Free Once rlore.

After being in Jail in this city for ten
months, Chas S. W. De Formiere, a
Frenchman residing near Hancock,
charged with being implicated in the rob-
berry in the Berkeley Springs postofice on
the night Of November ?. 1899, of $8o3 o.
worth of stamps and As OF postal order
funds, is again free man.
The Sheriff received notice from the
United States aulh orles Tins morning
that his Case Lad been taken before a
grand jury and that they failed to find an
Indictment against him. The Sheriff
tnereupon, according to orders from
Judge Jackson, released him.
A happier man than De Formiere as he
again breathed free air and congratulated
himself that he was again out of the clut-
ches of the law, could not be imagined
De Formiere says he was born in
France. but lived in Germany until lie
came to this country about 20 years ago.
Besides beng charged with being inn
plicated in the postoffie robbery he is
charged with fraudulently handling pen
sion for Mrs. Matte ID. Alom, of Downs
vile, Md, formerly of near Hancock,
whose husband is in an insane asylum.
She says De Formiere got her money, but
he never turned /. over 10 her.
The only thing 10 connect De Formiere
with the postoffice robbery was small
card found near the office after the rob-
berry and identified by De Formlere as
having belonged to him.
The released prisoner borrowed 50
cents from the Sheriff and started out for
Hancock, happy man. He said he was
as innocent of the robbery as any man in
Martinsburg.

In the Mountains.

Summer visitors in the mountains oil
West Virginia are returning laden down
with stories and experiences more or less
remarkable for the entertainment OF their
friends, One OF the most singular is the
following, the correctness of which is
vouched for by city official OF undoubt-
ed veracity:
About ten miles from Romney. in
Hampshire county there Is a mountain
called by the natives Ice Mountain. The
shady groves upon its slopes are the fav-
orite resort OF picnickers during the heat
ed term, because ii is always cool and
pleasant there. This is due to the fact
that few feet below the surface of the
earth there is stratum of ice and snow
which exists there eternally. Picnickers
carry their lunches to the groves on It's
sides and by digging down through the
surface uncover ice enough TO cool their
repas.. Farmers in the vicinity make no
effort to harvest ice during the winter
months because they can get all the ice
they need in summer from the Ice Noun
tain.
No effort is made by the city official
who tells this story TO explain the phe-
nomeno and no explanation is attempted
by the natives, who are satisfied with the
knowledge OF the mountain. There also
seems to be no fear on the part Of those
residing at the base of the mountain that
the day may come when excessive heat
from internal or external cause may melt
the ice on the mountain and cause the
flooding OF the surrounding country

ton will be the appearance there of the
band of the Carlisle Indian school. This
