Deputy Sheriff will Leave Next
Week with Prisoners.

Quemente and Dingess will BE Taken
30 Meundsviile-Many Jail Sentences
Term Of Csart Remarkably Fruit
ful in ConFictseus-Jndge Mason's
Opinion.
Deputy Sheriff Clark Core will leave
Monday or Tuesday for Moundsyii,e
with two prisoners, Angelo Quemento,
whe was sent up for ten years for
rape, aud Herbert Dingess, who got
one year for shooting T. J. Gilmore.
1t has been long time since one
term Of court In Monongalia county
has resulted In sending two men to
the penitentiary. TO the further
credit OF the county it can be said
that neither of these men are natives.
In addition 10 these sentences,
Lawrence Danser and William Santee
are 10 jail for six months. Henry
Miller is under sentence Of six
months Ia Jail and $25 fine. Ben
Bartholow and Charles Myers are to
be taken to the reform school, and
John MADEIRA has been sent TO the
insane asylum. Henry Melbourne,
also insane, will be sent to Maryland,
where he belongs. Over $4,000 in
fines and costs imposed is due the
state from the revenue cases, to say
uothiDg OF several fines for minor Of
lenses.
This is a remarkable list of c. ~
victions for one term u court In Mo
mongolia county, aad can only be ex-
planned by the fact that large cum
Der of foreigners have recently come
into the county. "a foreign element"
is ever largely responsible for the rev.
enue cases.
Judge Mason said from the bench
yesterday that In no other county OF
the state is the respect for law and
obedience thereto SO strict and so
general as in -Monengalia. During
his legal career, his service IN the
revenue department and on the bench,
he had had excellent opportunities
for learning something about the
matter, aud had no hesitapcy 10 max
ing known the conclusion recorded
above. No higher compliment could
have been been paid to the county.

WORLD WIDE WAR
DR.. l. c. White Thinks Uncle
Sam will Have to Fight.
Events in the Far East sIaFe sigpifi-
cameo Right here al Home England,
Japan and Uastea States TO Face
Russia, France and Germany.

| Those who are watching the pro
gress Of events in the Far East are
fearful that the United States will
be drawn into it. and that one resr.i
of the entanglements which are sure
to follow will be war oil worldwide
extent. Among these who are kecnly
interested in the progress OF events
is DIR. /. G. White, of tais place. who
has visited many of the cities in the
East. and 20 whom the strange
nance sound very familiar IL the war
dispatches.
He has been predicting for some
time that France will get into tne
game before time is much Older. The
orders gwen to the representatives of
France in that section confirm him
in the ideas which he has feraIed.
He said in speaking oil it:
France is strongly bound to Rus
STA by treaty aud international ALI
ance. She evidently intends to get
into the fight as soon as favorable
opportunity presents itself. When
she does this England will have to
take hand, as she has similar
treaty With japan, and this will be
the signal for the entrance of Ger
many Tito the struggle.
az ith Russia, Germany and
France united against Japan and
England we must enter the arena
with England The ties of blood
and relationship, not 10 speak of
more weighty reasons, will impetus
to this step. England kept Europe
off our back while we were at war
with SPAN, when the whole CONT
nent burned with impotence to
chastise the United States Tor its
interference with one OF the old world
counties In its difficulties with a
rebellioas province.
81 hen, too, our trade 10 the Far
East hiss become most important,
and our commercial interests will be
completely destroyed unless we shall
take steps TO protect it. China will
probably be the means Of starting
much more complicated war than a
mere war between Japan and Rus
sia will likely be- Her hordes will
enter the fight at the first opportn
nifty, With or without reason. Then
we must prepare for a world war.
st will be largely contest be-
tween navies, and with the combined
naviss OF England, the United States
and Japan it is very probable that
victory will crown this alliance. But
what far-reaching results there will
be 10 such conflict can not be i'm
agiped 1t will change the map of
the world"
Dr. White believes that with the
advantage gained up to tins time by
Japan that the little kingdom will
be more than N atch for the Bear
She commands the Eastern seas and
Russian fleets elsewhere are of no
account 10 her. The difficulties OF
transporting troops to Manchuria
over the Trans-Siberian railroad are
so great that she cannot cope with
her enemy, who is SO close at home.
and who has such a magnificent
system of transportation and com
missary.

investments in Parkersburg real
estate are the safest and most
profitable use to which you can
put your money. 1t pays a better

than any bank or bank stock.
On January list. 1902, we sold
a lot on Ann street for S., 500. 90;
on February 9Th, 1904, we re-sold
this same lot for $4,000. This
is 81, 25o. 90 profit.
Are you thinking of coming to
the city to educate your children?
You can buy home now and sell
it at profit when you are ready
to return to your farm.

The reports of an extra session
are becoming more and more di-
rect and seemingly authentic. 1t is
asserted that the very date of as
sembling the legislature has been
fixed upon. The solons are TO gather
early in April If these reports prove
to be correct. IL is to be hoped that
i. will not be an April fool on the
state which is to foot the bills for
the chance for the members to bask
in the limelight which the extra
sess ion will give then. The extra
session will be the only thing that
will prevent some of them being
forgotten and it may be the means
Of keeping the memories of others
green long after they have departed
from the stage of action.

A GREAT SUCCESS
Loan and Sock Social Exceeds
all Expectations
Exhibits will be Kept Open This Even
ing Over $500 Taken In Last Night
Great Number OF Relics and Curios
Displayed.

ing over SZUU IAken In Last Night
Great Number of Relics and Curios
Displayed.
A great crowd of people responded
to the invitations issued by the
Ladies Aid Society Of the M f.
church to the Loan and Sock So
cial' at the church last evening.
The rooms were thronged all even
ing, and when the proceeds were
counted it was found that over two
hundred dollars had been received
from the contributions sent in the
socks, and from the proceeds Of the
ice cream and cake sale.
The feature of the social was the
display Of old relics, curios, pictures
and heirlooms. Few people realized
before going what a treat was in
store for them Had the facts been
generally known, the crowd would
have been twice as large as it was.
Explanations of surprise and de-
light, and enthusiastic commenda-
lions were uttered by all spectators,
and the ladies decided to keep the
exhibit open this afternoon from
two to four, and again this veliBg.
All who have not seen it, should do
so. No one can afford to miss it.
To describe the endless variety of
intensely interesting articles on dis
play would be impossible. 1t would
require several columns even to cat
alogue them.
Among the most interesting arti-
Giles to be seen. however, might be
mentione number of herlooms be-
longing to the Wiley family and
their connections Pieces of old
china, of rare design and pattern,
old clocks that licked the seconds
scores OF years ago, books, furniture
and arms that were 10 use in the
eighteenth century.
Miss Drusila Morgan has leaned
some very remarkable specimens.
Among these might be mentioned
three cups and saucers more than
200 years old and the first coffee
mill ever brought to this section of
the country.
A display of Indian beadwork
implements of war and utensils fer
domestic purposes loaned by John
Overfield attracts much attention.

The papers are devoting much space
to his visit. but they would give him
a great deal more were it not for the
war news crowding it out.
Strauss will reach here shortly and
will remain Ia Morgantown three days
as the guest of Mr.. and Mrs. Wright
son. While here be will be paid every
attention possible.
Interest in his visit is on the in
crease In near towns and the papers
in them are printing much more about
the man and his coming than they
have been doing previously. Excur-
sioEs from them into M0rgantown on
the 18th will be literally patronized.
Prof. Spence left today to bill the
big towns near here for the coDcert.

The movement WAS started 10y rhos.
G. Brady. Of Ciarksburg, whose efforts
have been seconded by V. B. Archer,
OF parkefsburg, and they are at the
| forefront OF tie scheme, which has
suddenly taken an popular endorse
ment by leaps and bounds, beginning
with published appeal by Mr.. Brady
entitled, "How to Preserve Our Nat
ural Gas Fields
Boards Of Trade 10 many towns
have been asked TO send representa-
lives to the meeting A general invi-
tatioD is extended to citizens gener-
ally and big attendance is looked
for. Steps TO curtail the output OF
patural gas from West Virginia to
other states were taken a. the recent
session of the Legislature, and are
embodied indirectly In the report of
the State Tax Commission, but the
Standard Oil company has successfully
frowned down all such attempts.
1t is the cry OF the West Yirginlan
that inasmuch a. the gas supply is
limited, although now bountiful, the
fields OF this state viii soon be drained
to provide with fuel customers OF the
gas companies 10 Ohio, Kentucky
and other states. They say IL mills
and factories prefer natural gas for
fuel and the mountain went come
they should emulate Mahomet and
go to the mountain. In other
words, it is hoped to bring industrial
establishments to West Virginia now
using its gas elsewhere, or else secure
legislation which viii shut off the
supply so new manufacturers will be
induced by cheap fuel to pitch their
tents here. The meeting Is icing
looked forward u with more than
ordinary interest and is fraught with
grave import.
Morgantown will probably send sew
eral delegates to this meeting, as the
subject is OF great interest to the
people Of this town. We can only adj
vance by keeping cheap supply Of
fuel, and natural gas is that fuel.
The way that it Is being piped away
and wasted 10 other ways means that
1t will not be many years until the
precioas stinulant to business ac-
tivluy will be gooe, and other towns
will be on an even footing with US in
the use of coal.
