The coach brake gave way. the horses ran, the coach was overturned and several of the troupe ' were badly injured. The Maker Citv Democrat now ac knowledges that the report it recently put in circulation, that Willis Skid had been found in Canada, was all guess ' work. We thought that was about the j size of it, all the time. An editor says that when he sees a rooster with a lame leg trying in vain to keep up with the rest of the Hock in the procession, it always reminds him of a non advertising, to-called business man endeavoring to hold his own against his neighbors, who advertise, j Here is some good advice Irom an ex-1 change: "Hesolve to do something to ' help the looks of your town. If you ; can't build a brick business block, paint I your house or barn, or build a new j fence or side walk, or mend the old ones or fet out some trees or shrubbery. Do fcomcthing." Thursday evening, .1. Q. Shirley's team, which were at the time attached to the cart and left standing in front of the house on his ranch below town, took it into their heads to run away. f In their rounds they jumped over a farm wagon, completely wrecking it and the cart, but doing very little dam age to themselves. !

What is needed in Union is, first and foremost, a Hoard of trade in order that our magnificent resources may be made known to those desirous of making paying investments wherever they can be found, and to ofi'er to rueh, induce. mi'UN in a proper and business like manner. With such an organization fully alive to the work in hand a vast change would be immediately percepti ble. From this necloeiw of business in teligence sagacity and strength would radiate an influence that would make itself felt in every avenue of trade and in every home in our town and vicin ity. A new interest and energy would at once sprint; into existence among the people. It would not be but a short time till a woolen milll, cheese factory, tannery, brick yards, sash and door factories and other paying indus tries would be opened here, and an era of surprising prosperity dawn upon us. We have everything here to bring about this state of all'airs, except ener gy and concentrated action. In Union and immediate vicinity there are ten men representing an aggregate amount of :r70(M0).K. What' would be the re sult should they, instead of acting scp eratily, combine, and use their united influence, in conjunction with men of smaller means, and the good willof the people, to built! up manuafacturies, ami encourage needed industries? The result would lie marvelous, and their reward would come in the shape of solid shek les, as Well as in the consciousness of having aided to the best of their ability in the upbuilding of the country. Talk the matter over and let aboard of trade be organized with as little delay as pos sible. Gotl helps those who help them selves. Let us help ourselves, and in united ell'ort make a city of Union, sec ond to none in this section of the Mate. It can be done, am! done easily. I' LAIN TALK The larger the circulation of a news paper the more valuable it is a an ad vertising medium. Knowing this to lie true we have labored inceessautly to in crease our subscription list anil have succeeded wonderfully during our few years of existence, and we propose to reap full benefit of our labors. The statement at the head of this paper concerning our circulation we helirrejn be true ro it would not be there. If it is erroneous uir brother journalists have only to convince us of tho fact by letter or otherwise and we will gladly make the correction. In rel'ering to this statement J. O. ICulm of t lie defunct Union Sentinel, but now of tho La Grande .Journal, takes occasion to in sultingly question our veracity, and with gall unparalleled, says the .lounial has TOO siihscriliers ant! "is the best ad vertising medium in the county," which is such a barefaced lie he ought to have sense enough to know that nobody will believe il. He hasn't got 2."0 genuine subscribers and most of them are dead beats who are in arrears to the old Sen tinel for year"1. What benefit could any business man derive from placing Ins advertisinent in such a sheet as that? We do not believe that Kuhn could get ()f) subscribers in ten years, o man whose nature it is to repay kindness with ingratitude and courtesy with in sult can sneced at anything. We have brought Kuhn and his paper more prominently before the people than wo intended in this article. It may be his object to get some tree advertising from us. Quieii .sabe. TO OI K CONI'ISIIM'TOIIS. A number of communications receiv ed at this ollieo this week do not appear for various reasons. Some containing interesting news items arrived to late for insertion in this issue, and the items will be to ancient for next week's is sue. Several stories have been sent us for publication by local anthers, containing much merit, but we are compelled to reject them on account of limited space. Again lengthy articles are sent us concerning some personal grievance which is of jio public interest whatever. Our space is too valuable for the publication of such. They could only go in as paid advertisements. We. are extremely grateful to our num erous correspondents for their valuable assistance. It is fully appreciated and we trust that none will take ofieusc. if their communications should happen to be left out, but overlook the matter ami "Keep their old goose quills a tlop pin." Next time they will meet with better success., The Sroi'T is recognized as tlie leading paper oi tins section oi the state, ami its circulation is con stantly increasing. That its phenome nal popularity is greatly due to the ef forts of our numerous contributors we have never doubted, anil it is not our nature to forget it. We thank you all. THANKS S. V. Ic Farren, the crack shot of this section went out last Satuidayand killed a number of wild geese. He kindly gave us one, for which he has our thanks. It has had a tendency ev er since to allay that pectiliarlonesoino sensation under our waistband. We trust he will not take otlence at our thanking him in this manner for we be lieve he came by that gooso honestly actually killed it. One time John Wihnot sent a couple of these birds to us from the Cove, ami became wo men tioned it in our columns he got hot un der the collar said it attraetetl public attention toward him. otc, etc. Kvor since that time we have had an idea that Wilniot became noe&oarttl of those, birds fflonously. If you want any boots ondioos made, or have any repairing you want done, remember Al. Dictaon. He is the right kind of h man to have in the coinmun itvnnddt'fecrveiS putronago.

F. Kennedy of Pine valley was in the city during tlie week, lie inform ed us that lie had a contract for haul ing a large amount of lumber from Pine valley into the mines, ami was out look ing for teams. The Nellie Hoyd troupe will not ap pear in Union this trip. The agent of the company was here and tried to get the hall for Sunday night, but as the proprietors would not rent it for that nigt he left, it is satisfactory all around. Mr. Charles C. Colfinberrv of Osage Mis.-ion, Kansas, who is here 'ntrnduc ing the Acme Washing machine, is a brother of the Collinberry's of this coun ty. The Acme is undoubtedly a good machine, and is meeting with great fa vor by all who linv seen it in opera tion. Mr. Colfinberrv is making ar rangements' to have them manufactured in this city. atonic Titouifi.i:. .Mislortunes never come singiv. u i found that out by experience. Yester day one of our right superior molars, as Doc Cleaver would say, but in plain English our jaw tooth got about three inches longer than the others, and we thought things were about as bad as they could be, when we were informed that that infernal crow wc mentioned recently hail brought suit against us, a la Hayes, for libel, in Justice Thomp son's court, in North Cnion. Thomp son occupies the jxisiHon of paternal re lative to the villiauous cuss, and we have no doubt has put him up to it. We shall see this thing through. VKHY THITK.
