Monroe Clark, who disappeared from
the State Hospital for the Insane at North
Warren, June 3Oth, has not yet been dis
covered. The thorough search of the
woods for miles around the hospital dis
pells the theory that he met death while
on stroll through the woods and the be-
lief now is that he left for western states.
He WAS seen near the hospital in the af.
ternoon of the day he disappeared.

mines near Mucklow, West Virginia, is
felt in the fact that Lieut.. John l.. Stew
art of Co. Il, National Guards of W. Va,
a former Endeavor, Forest county, boy,
is with the soldiers who have been sent to
scene of turmoil. Much rioting and some
bloody encounters have taken place with
in the past few days, but the presence OF
the state troops is expected to have a
quieting effect upon the rioters.
A whole lot of farmers IN this section
have been unfortunate in their failure to
get their cut grain gsrneTed, and in many
fields wheat and rye haye been caught in

ruin in most every case. Both these
cereals have yielded unusually we'll this
season aud it seems pity that any should
be ruined in this way A half dozen sue
cessive days of sunshine would let all out
handsomely.
