WHAT OTHER
EDITORS SAY

(Wheeling Intelligencer.

L AS the 1ntelligencer understands
1t, the state of Virginia has nothing
further to do with the matter, since
the suit was brought not to pay vir-
ginia, but the certificate holders, and
naturally any further transactions
and any settlement considered will
have to be between these people and
Vest Virginia. According to the
best information the certificates were
never placed under the control of
Virginia for the purpose OF suit
against this state, as Brown broth-
ers were tied up so. that they could
not place the certificates where they
would not be subject to the control
OF the owners. This phase of the
matter was dwelt on with emphasis
by James N. Mason, q debt expert"
in communication to the 1ntelli-
gencer, and appearing in the issue Of
August s,s1905. If the suit entered
by Virginia was represented to be
with that understanding, then It may
still be subject to the inquiry II it
was not based on fraud. These,
however, are matters we presume the
attorneys for West Virginia and the
commission are already acquainted

 You must come with me! Don't be frightened. You will know later where I'm taking you. Youll be away for sev- eral days. I can't leave without you; we've lost much time already. Get dressed quickly!"
 Kurichkess obeyed. He was driven to house where a general of gendarmerie, who showed a surprising knowledge of his antecedents, cross-examined him as to his identity. He was assured that he need not be alarmed; he would be pro- vided with a lodging and the next day he would be told what he had to do He must not try to escape for he would be watched.

Blackwood of the Sixteenth judicial circuit court VIII han dle the nonjury civil cases, Judge J. J. Curtis of the Fourteenth judicial circuit and Judge A. B.

 The board of revenue will begin to prepare the quarters for the new courts Monday in order to have them completed in time for the opening. The sheriff will serve the papers for the courts while the clerk of the circuit court will also begin at once preparing the docket for the two regular judges as well as for the additional magistrates.
