J.C. Henry and wife were in Portland,
last week, attending Grand Lodge, I. O.O. I-
Milo P Ward, the great temperance re
vivalist. N expected to be in this city ome
time this week.
E. A. Goodiioupli is still about town, and
his many friends hope he may soon be re
placed as agent for the O. It.'ifc N.Co.. at
this place.
J. L. Hindman, school superintendent,
accompanied by C. E. Oliver, a sjummerviile
boy, who would like to be county supr-rin-tciulent,
ate on a visit to the schools of the
county.
Hon, Geo. II. Williams, who is conceded
the ablest speaker and clearest re.isouer in
the State, will address the citizens of Union
county at this place next Monday evening
at 8 o'clock.
Mr. II. It. Kemp, who lias been in busi
ness in this city for .onie time past, has
about sold out" ids stock of merchandise,
and will, in a short time, leave for Califor
nia, where lie will hereafter reside.
Fred Iioskowitz has found out that rid
ing a bucking horse is not what it is cracked
up to be. lie attempted to ride one last
Sunday, and failed. The icsult is that he
looks as if he had just been visited by a cy
clone. The members of the militia company have
their certificates of membership, so that
now it won't be healthy tor any assessor or
sheriir to come around wanting any of the
boys to serve on the jury or to pay road or
poll tax.
Mrs, Malloy is done and gone. She lias
got in good licks against ''his eminence''
the devil, but he (the devil) is the beat "stay
er." He continues business at the old
stand, and Mrs. Malloy necks newer and
greener litlds.
Arthur and C;rric Lindsay, son and
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. ('. Lindsay of
Island City, arrived on the train Saturday
morning, having been summoned by a tele
gram announcing the deatli of their father,
the former from Spraguo and the latter
from the Sound.
Ilcv (L M. Irwin, of Union, delivered a
powerful address at this place Inst Saturday
evening. He convinced his hearers that he
is as good a talker on politics as be is elo
quent in the pulpit, lie reviewed the
speech of John P. Irish, and completely ex
plodcd bis trials of sophistries.
We understand that the department at
Washington lias ""anted the netition for a
daily mail from misplace to Joseph, and
that soon we may expect stages to run
Iroin nere through to Joscpn in one day,
and the service to be inei eased to seven
times a week instead of six aj now,

loupuoiic Kuiiiurinx aim mai.c a distur
bance, but when a so-called model young
lady goes and deports herself unbecomingly
and in anunlady like manner, simply be
.cause her best fellow disagrees with" the
speaker, it is time she wore taught a lesson.
Wo notice on our streets during the week
Mr. .). L. Carter, republican nominee for
county school superintendent, and are
pleased to know that he seems conlldent of
election, lie is a man of ripe years, a thor
ough scholar and one of our best teachers,
and possesses the ability, ago and experi
ence to make a good superintendent. It is
time we were looking above the Jioyhood
clement for a superintendent, and wu are
pleased to know that Mr. Carter has such
good chances.
The sad and untimely death of Ed. C.
Lindsay, on Thursday, May 17th, which
was so sudden and unexpected, cast a
gloom over our wnoio community. -Mr.
Lindsay was in town attending to his busi
ness, little thinking his day's were number
ed He hud loaded his wagon with freight
for Island City, and it being quite bulky lie
was lashing it on, when ids horses started
up, as if to run away, lie spoke to them to
Mop, but they did not, so lie run around
and caught the near one by the bridle to
btop them. This frightened the liorso mid
he mado u lunge forward and throw Mr.
Lindsay to the ground, and, it is supposed,
struck him. The horses continued run
ning, and the wagon being heavily loaded,
both wheels ran over his body jut below
tlni nipple, completely crushing ills bones
and bruising him badly. He never spoke,
mil moved his hands only a few times, hud
died in less than ten minutes. He was car
ried into the Kumela hotel and Drs. Hon
an and Callahan did everything possible,
but in vain. Life was extinct. Uelng u
member in good standing of the Summer
villo lodge, his remains were taken in
charge by the Odd Fellows. The funeral
oecuied, Sunday, under the auspices of tiio
Odd Fellows. Hev. O. M. Irwin preached
the funeral sermon, and the procession
was the largest ever known iivtho county.
There were about one hundred and to'rty
vehicles iu:d a large number on foot and on
horseback, so that it Is estimated there
were at least one thousand people in at
tendance. There weru sixty Odd Fellows
in Hue, with J. II. Kinchart us Noble Grand,
Ilev. O. M. Irwin, Cnaplain, C. II. Finn,
Marshal, J. W. Strange, Assistant Mursliul.
Every lodge In the county was represented.
Thus another good man is gone. When in
the midst of life, in cood health, of sound
body and mind, in the twinkling of an eye
the Mimtuonscume. Friends may sympa
thize, brothers may seek to aid, to comfort,
to pay the last sad rights of tribute to the
deceased, but only time can heal the wound
made in the hearts of the Jone widow and
fatherless children.
