Vacant icuo!,AHSim,s. The. fol
lowing extract from a letter just re
ceived by Judge Goodall, from Prof.
Johnson, of the State University at
Eugene, explains itself: "Mr. L. J.
David ix the only student from your
county now attending the university
n a scholarship. Messs. Collins and
Oliver will not return this year; hence
their scholarships are vacant in ac
1 cordance with a by-law of the regents.
Miss Cora A. Sanuns forfeited hers
during the past year. Your county is,
therefore, entitled to three scholarships
in the university. I shall be greatly
obliged if you will fill up the quota to
which Union county is entitled. I
kave just matured an arrangement
with the O. It, ti N. Co.. by which
Eastern Oregon students will pay full
fare to Portland, on coming to the uni
versity, and one-fifth fare from Port
land home. All our students get a re
duction of one-third from Portland to
Fugeue and return on presentation of
juy certificate." Theso scholarships
should be filled, and any young lady
or gentleman of the county deshoua of
obtaining an education should give it
their attention.
Finn at Baceh City. Last Tuesday
morning, about li :30 o'clock, u fire
wa discovered in tho rear of Mans
field's billiard hall, on Main street,
Baker City. There being no engine or
apparatus for extinguishing the fire,
the entire block was destroyed, ltjck
ily, it was perfectly calm at the time,
or the whole business portion of the
town would havo went. The Jossiid are
us follows: J. T. Wilson, !f2,()00; Mrs.
S. II. Small, $l,200r Mr. Boreman,
?2,000; Louis Mansfield, $1,000; Rod

Not a Truk Bii.i.. As we supposed
they would, the grand jury refused to
indict the City Marshal, E. E. Gates,
Jfor shooting at Mumford and Feebler
while attempting to make their arrest,
for violating a city ordinance a few
weeks since. While the people of
Union are a jolly whole-souled set, and
like to have people from any section
come in and enjoy themselves in a rea
sonable way, they object to anything
approaching ruffianism. While the
present marshal is in office it is safe to
say that there willbe nothing of tho
kind without swift justice overtaking
the offender. Parties who fcul that
they have a call to paint eome town
red color, will do well not to select
"Union as the scene of their artistic
perform a nces.
The City Council. The council

ofthe city, as tho rolls had not been
