FOUND IN THE INSANE ASYLUM.

On last Saturday two Italians ar
rived in Weston from New York
and at once went to the Hospital
for the Insane and made inquiries
concerning one Michael Dinifio, an
Italian, for whom they had looked
ali over the United States and
Canada. During his separation
from his comrades his mind became
impaired and he was committed to
the Hospital from Logan county
about ten months ago. The gen
tlemen who were looking for him
had expended large sum of money
and visited principally all of the
large cities and finally obtained in
formation through the Italian Con-
sui that he was confined in an In
sane Asylum at Weston. They were
overjoyed to End the long lost man,
and let on the early train Monday
morning for New York, from
whence they will sail for Italy

All Of the guests were warmly
welcomed by Mr.. and Mrs. Wana-

decorated, and a Hungarian Band,
brought over from Philadelphia,
furnished the music.

THE rNrELLieENcER IN A HOLE.

The Wheeling Intelliqsncer is in
a bad hole over an article published
IN its issue Of Jan. II, on the
glooming financial outlook Of the
country. 1t told the truth for once
and we were prepared to congratu-
late 1t on go doing, but it has
repented and seems to be ashamed
Of having broken its record and is
now trying to lilo out of it. We
published the article last week and
called attention to it and here is the
way the InteHigeReer writhes and
twists about it
Dish encst and Misleading.
The Kingwood ARGUS reprints
an Associated Press dispatch con-
corning the state of the United
States treasury, which appeared in
every Associated Press paper in the
country on the morning of January
IL, and credits it to the Inteligen-
GER. The dispatch, which purported
to give forecast Cf the report Of
Democratic committee, was part
OF the regular congressional news Of
the morning, and was in no sense
an expression of the papers views
on the subject.
The editor Of the ARGUS, after
crediting the dispatch to the Intel
tigencer, dishonesty attempts to
create a wrong impression on the
minds Of its readers.
IL the article was "dishenest and
misleading" why did the Intelh-
gencer publish it without an expla-
nation ? We clipped it from that
paper and republished it, word fer
word, head lines and all, exactly as
it appeared in the Intelligencer, and
we dare that paper to deny it. 1t
tries to make the 'dishonest and
misleading impression" that the
article did not appear in the Intel
tgencer and that it was an Asso-
ciated Press dispatch, etc. Perhaps
the esteemed Intell,gencer would
have us belieYe that it is compelled
to publish and does publish all the
Associated Press dispatches 1T
receives? The head lines in this
case contained the main statement
of the article in question, and pos
sibly cur badly ratified and dis
figured Republican cotemporar
would have US hay-seed editors
believe that these dispatches furnish
their own head lines also. The
Unntolligencer goes on to say
"The cause of the deficit, if there
is any, is the increased demand on
the treasury to pay pensions and
other legitimate expenses, made by
laws enacted by Congress, and not
by extravaganza on the part of the
Harrison administration. The
ARGUS knows this to be true, and
its attempt to construe a news dis
patch giving forecast of partisan
Democratic committees report into
an expression of this newspapers
views is dishonest journalism, and
is misleading to it's readers"
The Intelligencer was not com
PEELED to publish this article rs it
did, and it surprised us to find it in
It's columns as we did, and we
failed to see it in any other paper
either. The Hatsl1igencer is in
hole and like. an old woman when
she makes mistake, tries to lay it
on to some one else.
