THE INSANE ASYLUM.

Fergus Falls Is putting forth every
effort to secure the third asylum for
the insane. Its chamber of COM
merce held meeting the other even
ing and offered to guarantee site of
62O acres to the State, at $50 per acre,
and to perfect system of drainage
from the proposed site to the river at
a cost Of $1,000. The land required
is held at a higher figure by the own
ers, but the city will make up the
differeAce-about $1,000 more. In
other words, Fergus Falls offers $l6-
600 for the asylum. The following
resolution was adopted:
Be it resolved, That a committee
of five be selected by this meeting.
whose duty it shall be to confer with
the insane commission, and make
such propositions, concerning site,
amount of land and the price thereof,
as to said committee may seem most
advisable after full investigation
and further conference with said
insane commission.

An item telegraphed from St.
Cloud to the evening papers of st.
Paul and Minneapolis was so
garbled in transmission as to make
it appear that the German American
National BanL of st. Cloud had
failed, and the bank was subject to
great Inconvenience and loss as con
sequence. What the correspondent
intended to transmit was the
announcement that the bank had
closed UP Eb. Robertson, Il grocer,
but it appeared in print that the
Bank and Robertson had both
failed. The Bank has commenced
libel proceedings against both the
Minneapolis Evening Journal and
the st. Paul Dispatch, fixing the
measure of damages at $4,000 in
each suit.

Tb g Princeton Union, which has
a habit of speaking its sentiment IS
without fear or favor, has the fol-
lowing tribute to Senator Langdon,
which the H1RALD most cotdially
endorses:
Mr.. Langdon was once poor man
himselt-wOrked for his wages. BY
dint OF his untiring energy and In
domitable will he has risen in the
world and amassed Il handsome com
potency. He earned his money hon
estly and by his own unaided exer-
tons. No one has ever accused him
Of being dishonest or corrupt. He
is recognized as Il big-hearted and
big-fisted man; there is nothing
small about him. Just uow it is
fashionable to sheer and scott at
such men as r. b. Langdon and
Loren Fletcher, but the Union does
not care to be fashionable. We are
heartily sorry that Mr.. Langdon was
| defeated, and in his defeat the State
has lost the service of an able, honest
and incorruptible legislator.

Fergus Falls, as will be seen, has
put forth vigorous effort to influ.
ence the com missioners to locate the
Third Asylum for the Insane in that
enterprising city, and this village
ought not to be behind in putting
forth similar effort. That we have
points Of superiority over Fergus
Falls, or any other point named, is
firmly believed by all of our citizens,
but 1t is quite necessary that these
points be, emphasized at meeting Of
the Board. Our location and rail-
road facilities, present and prospec.
tive, are clearly in our favor, and
there are, points not to be ignored
in so important matter as the per.
manent location ola state institution
of such magnitude. In the matter
of water supply and drainage our
advantages are second to none, and
in the miner points of fuel and build
ing material we have naught to fear
from competitive investigation.
Our soil is as good as the best, and
in the other features which contrib.
utes to making desirable site our
superiority is acknowledged. All
these points. and others, should he
forcibly and yet not 'offeosibly pre-

citizens should be present ut the

What True Merit Will Do.

The unprecedented sale of Boschee's Ger

ed the world. 1t Is withou doubt the safest
and best remedy ever discovered for the
speedy and efrectual cure of coughs. colds
and the severest luag troubles. 1t acts Oh
an entirely different principle from the u.s.

does not dry up cough and leave the dis.

removes the cause of the trouble, heals the
parts affected and leaves them in a purely
healthy condition. A bottle kept in the
house for use when these diseases make

Through these pores in the form of insensi-

fevers and eruptions which are so constant
among infants and children, aud which kill
one-third of all children before they are

Il is from the wonderful results attendant
upon the use of Castoria in regulating the
stomach and bowels and keeping open the
pores of the skin, that CastorIa acquired it
world wide reputation. With plenty of water
