by way of jamestown. D. T. Think of if

by way of jamestown, D. T. Think of it,
young man and middle-agcd men; you
who have long life before you, and have
not "sand' enough 10 cut loose from the
childish attachments Of home; think OF
this patriarch Of almost a century, taking
up his grip sack and alone making the trip
of q thousand miles that he might look
upon the magnificent James River Valley
as among the closing scenes of his long
life. Think of this, and be up and out Of
the old tread-mlll of over populated states
and build up for yourself and posterity a
home and fortune in the most heafthful
and beautiful country in the world The
name of that patriarch is Charles Pool,
and we hope the generous people of this
town will extend to HIM hearty welcome.

beat us on the ''oldest lnlabitant

Still at Large,

The escaped prisoner fails to material
izc, and though he may be rccapturcd,
erch days absence lessons the chances of
his being returned to the county jail:
Many have expressed hope that he will
not be caught. not but that they wish to
see Justice done, but because if he is
caught, under the circumstances, they
forescc an expense to the county in caring
for him until the court meets Of several
hundred dollars, which sum must be ad-
ded 10 our taxes. Sheriff NIcKcchnie eX-
pressed the opinion last evening that he
had gone cast and would probably jump
a train at one of the stations last night.
All the towns between here and Fargo
have been notified Of his escape.

The Best He Has Seen.

J. A. Stewart, editor and proprietor of
the Clarksvlllc Qowa) Star, passed cast
yesterday on his way home. He has been
on six weeks trip to the Yellowstone
country, and on his way out spent day
in jamestown. Mr.. S. said that during
his trip he had seen no town to compare
with jamestown or country equal to that
surrounding it. In fact so well pleased
was he with its location and surroundings
that he announced his intention of re-
turning at an early day and securing some
of our soil.

Loose Stock.

Many complaints are made on account
of the great number of oxen and cows
which are running about town loose.
They break down fences, take doors off
hinges and make people VINO have hay
keep a constant lookout in order to save
any for their own use. NInch of this loose
stock has been brought IN lately while
some of it has been running around all
winter 1t does but little good to put
them in the pound as no sooner are they
out than they are around again. The
village trustees are going to take steps to
remedy the nuisance.

The question as to whether Jamestown
shall have the car shons is not as yet def
initely settled, but ii is thought there is
but little doubt but that it will be in a
few days, and that the decision will be
favorable to our town. The bonus has

DUNES Boom.

In response to Mr.. DUNES advertise
mcnt the Alert office was beslcged all day
yesterday by gentlemen anxious to catch
on to some of the bargains which he offer
ed. Lots in Tileston's addition went off
rapidly, and there was a constant stream
of people out examining them. He sold
the refusal for a short time on the others.
He also arranged to sell several tracts of
land and couple of tree claims. All of
which proves that 1t pays to advertise,
and to do it in the Alert.

J. MCMICIIAELs.

An immediate answer of o. K, was re-
turned to this, and the Alert is proud to
say that it holds this valuable franc lisc.
A generous public will bear in mind that
the telegraphic facilities at this point are
very inadequate and scarcely fit for the
commercial and railroad business and the
addition of this report will increase the
difficulties under which the operators have
to labor The increase in expense to the
Aart will be at least $3.50 per month,
but the Alert is determined to give its
readers the best in the market, knowing
that it's ctferts will be appreciated and
sustained.

FOR GOVERNOR.
FOR CoNGREssMEN

The vote for Nash and Stickney is report
ed as about the same as Vint ms, and Stone
probably has substantially the same. Ding
ley was on the Vinton ticket, not, however,
by any desire or even consent of his own,
and runs somewhat ahead of the Republican
ticket. Reed also runs ahead of the ticket.
ROBBIE runs full up to the average of the
ticket. Contrary to general expectation,
Thing leads the Fusion Congressional ticket,
indicating considerable "Grangerp vote,
as he was considerably cut by city Demo-
Gratis. Murch has the next highest number
on that side, while Dane, who was altogeth-
er too good for his company, comes third of
the Congressman and failed to get as many
votes as Plaisted, Thing OF Murch. Vinton's
vote is most pitiful exhibition, considering
the flourish of trumpets from Fusonists
with which his enterprise was inaugurated.
Maine is evidently not yet prepared for the
reign of cant and pretense. Scion Chase
leads his ticket handsom ely, and leaves every
body with the conviction thai he is thorough
ly sincere and honest, however badly in
error he may be. The whole vote reaches
the enormous aggregate of 13S,543, figure
utterly unprecedented in Maine by any Con-
Eressional vote and excelled by only one
Presidential vote.

THERE seems to have been no excuse for
the disastrous railroad accident that &C.
Cured in New York city Friday. According
to all accounts it was the result of singu-
larry fragrant piece of negligence. The ex-
press train from Montreal having broken
down and blocked the main up-track, it be-
came necessary to utilize another line, and
It was Of course imperative that the trains
ordinarily using the tracks thus extraordina-
rily occupied should be notified of the
change which had been made. It was be-
cause this was not done that the collision
took place. Whether the engineer upon the
train which had the right of way could have
preyezted the accident by proper vigilance
is questionable, but it was the duty of the
brakeman of the forward train to go back
and give due warning that the road was not
clear, and his omission to do so caused the
collision. Happily the loss of life was not
so great as was at first supposed, but that is
q poor consolation for the sufferers or for
the friends of those who were killed.

NORTH AMERICAN: Captain Payne and
his accomplices in the invasion of the Indi-
an Territory have been released from Fort
Smith, and are expected to answer civil
suits for the recovery of penalties in Novem-
Der. As it is suggested that Judgment will
probably be obtained by default, it will oc-
cur to many persons that it is very lame
and impotent conclusion to p ,ceedings in
regard to repeated and unwarrantable out
RACES. The Indian mind can hardly be ex-
pected to grapple with such legal subtleties,
and therefore it will not be surprising if the
untutored sayages should adopt lynch law
toward any future invaders.

vice of anyone as Treasurer has fixed that

Mr.. Holbrook's markedly able discharge of
his official duties makes it specially fitting
that the custom should be observed in this

THE Asia, lost in Georgian Bay, was sail
ing without the required authorization
there is no evidence that the required life
saving appliances were on board in full
quantity. and had there been license, it
would not have covered the number of per-
sons who were on board. The captain was
illiterate and below the grade of capacity de-
manded by his responsible position. The
Montreal Herald gives as it's conclusions
these statements: The inspection of the
boat was sham, and the law, as it stands,
provides only for a sham inspection.
