ESCAPED FROM THE ASYLUM.

w. r. Clinton, Who Threatened DR..
smyth, and Was Committed in May
Last.
w. r. Clinton, the West Haven young
man who wrote threatening letters to
Rev. DR.. Newman Smyth of this city
some months ago and was sent to the
hospital for the insane at Middletown,
escaped from that institution yesterday.
The asylum authorities state that Clin-
ton was locked in his room as usual
Thursday night, but that when about
1890 yesterday morning the attendants
as usual went to his room they found
the door open and Clinton missing. In
vestigation showed that the lock had
been picked. A search of the asylum
ground and Middletown was made and
Clinton not having been found word
was sent to New Haven to request that
a lookout be kept for him.
Mr.. Clinton is by trade a machinist
and becoming interested in religious
matters attended DR.. Smyths church.
He afterwards became deranged from
overwork and thought that DR.. smyth
was causing him trouble. He was sent
to Middletown in May last.
DIR. Smyth stated last evening that he
had interposed no objection to Clinton's
discharge from the asylum, but the
matter was one entirely for the physi-
clans to decide. DIR. Smyth stated that
he was perfectly in agreement with Mr..
Clinton's family in regard to the mat
ter.

female weakness areinvited topromptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at

Thus has been established the eternal

the women of America which has never

OF experience which she has to draw

has gained the very knowledge that

In return except your good will, and

Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very
foolish II she does not take advantage
OF this generous offer of assistance.

nu,idinx New Shops.

Grand FORKS, N. D., Special.-Ander-
sol & Hunter Of this city have been
awarded the contract for building the
Northern Pacific machine shops in
East Grand Forks. The price to be
paid for the labor is $500. The same
firm has recently completed the erec-
ton of a tweive-stall round house for
the company in East Grand Forks. IN
the spring the superintendent force
will be transferred from Winnipeg
here, and, the dispatcher being already
here, the division viii! be operated en-
tirely from this point. The present
building occupied by the dispatchcrs
will be repls ced by a substantial
brick or storH structure. 1t is also con-
fidently expected that the company
will build q branch running north
from East Grand Forks, east of, and
parallel with Red river, crossing the
river at Dr0yton, and connecting there
with the North Dakota branch. This
would give the road access to one of
the most fertile wheat regions in the
Red river valley, from which at pres
ent it hauls very little grain, that por-
ton being hauled in barges by n
small steamer and transferred at
Grand Forks. Rumors of the proposed
building Of this branch have been cir
c'llated from time to time, and the evil
dent intention of the company to cen-
tralize the business of the district at
East Grand Forks has again aroused
the expectations of those who r in
terested in the construction of the
road.

The ex-governor of one of our
wealthiest states said to the writer
the other day: when I read an or
binary little country newspaper
(something he does several times ev.
cry day. and then turn to one of our
great metropolitan papers I at once
observe the chasm that is dividing the
newspapers Of the country into two
classes, on one side of which is tho
country paper, with it's homely, honest
ways, and on the other the hired mud
machine of an anonymous assassin. A
conflict between these two elements is
now at hand. The metropolitan is in
vading the territory of the country
editor, and it is the latter's duty to
drive it back, not only as a means of
self-protection, but to protect the NOR
ais of his community. The average
metropolitan paper is immoral in more
ways than one 1t plants seeds Of
poison wherever it goes" To all of
which we say amen. Country people
ought to support the home paper.
Whether it is Democratic, Republican.
Populistic, Prohibitionist, 1t should be
taken in preference to the "metropoli-
tan mud machines"

The Wheat War over.

Lisbon, N. D.. Specialize great was
the rush of wheat delivery at Lisbon
on the ''bucking" price of 5 cents
above the market that the grain ele-
vators along the 500 line for twenty
miles wondered what was up, as
wagon load after wagon load of wheat
passed by their stations bound for
Lisbon. The superintendent came
over and found out pretty quick what
the bait was that was drawing the
wheat to this place. Consequently he
ordered his elevator agents along the
500 line to advance prices to, 6 cents
above the market price. This turned
the tide, hut the whole thing has now
collapsed and prices are all down
again and the wheat war of over for
the present.

Ting within her borders. One hun

The heat of competition and the
overcrowding of trades and professions
is the subject of anxious consideration
among young men and their we'll
wishers; but the fact remains that
everywhere are places calling for the
satisfactory occupant. In a large town
in one of the populous middle states
three congregations are vainly search
ing for acceptable pastors; two young
doctors, returned from careful instruc-
ton and practice in foreign hospitals,
have, in spite of dire predictions to the
contrary, built, up large practices; and
a manufacturer in the same town de-
clares that he has two positions of five
thousand dollars salary each which he
is anxious to fill. Nor is the situation
in this town unique. Mediocrity is not
wanted, but in every line of work ex-
c%eptional ability is in increasing de-
mand.
