IX ADVANCE.
Thfto was nnu-h disappointment in
Cornucopia when the first stage over
the Union and Cornucopia route went
bowling into town, which was on a single-decked
eayuso pony, with Leonard
Simnis astride, looking as wise as a U.
S. senator. Well, in consequence of
the lack of conveyance, two passen
gers on the fut trip to Union were
left behind, besides packages to num
erous to mention. This "stage line" is
a rapid advance over the methods of
twenty-five years ago. This is an age
of advanced methods and people are
expected to keep up with the times,
but when the people of Union saw this
grand outfit gather up the reins and
ligiit out, we w re ch ck full of more
than ordinary admiration at the devel
opments of this great country, and we
threw our hats into the air and holler
ed with all our voice: "A damphine
thing ami Gloria in Excelsis," or
words to that effect. Wc don't remem
ber just now what we did holler, but
we hollered.
SUICIDE AT CORNUCOPIA.
News was received here by the mail
carrier from Cornucopia that J. P.
Argonsinger, a former resident of Un
ion, had committed suicide near Cor
nucopia. As near as we can learn Mr.
Aigersinger had been drinking some
what heavily of late, whiohJellVcted his
mind and while in this condition took
his life, by sevt ring the main artery
in h's lefi arm, from which he bled to
drnth. It is suppo-cd that lie commit
ted the rash act on the Fourth. He
was living alone in a cabin, where he
was found about thieedays afterwards.
Mr. Argeisinger has on several occa
sions, during the past few years shown
unmistakable signs of insanity. He
was a skillful mechanic, and was at
onetime judge of Union county. He
was a man, when at himself, of more
than ordinary ability. His sad end is
altribtitadle, perhaps, to his strong ap
petite for liquor,
PROVED UNFAITHFUL.
Mr. Joe Hassette, post master at
New Bridge, Eagle Valley, has been
arretted by the U. S. authorities for
robbing the mails of money. Some
time ago a registered letter was received
at his office, which be took out, signed
the receivers return card and sent it
back to the mailing otliee. 'flic per
son to whom the money was sent, not
receiving it, made inquiries and found
that a return card bad been signed at
the Eagle Valley oflice. The work of
tracing the missing package was begun
and traced through the different offices
on the route to its destination. Has
sett, when questioned in regard to the
matter, claimed no knowledge further
than that the party had receipted for
the package and took it. He was ar
rested, however, when he made a full
confession. He was taken down to
Portland, Tuesday, where ho will be
tried in the U. S. Circuit court.

will bo forthcoming from other quar

count of a financial transaction which

other it happened that the offico boy
owed one of tho clerks three conts,
the clerk owed tho cashier two cents,
and tho cashier owed tho ofTico
boy two conts. Tho office
boy having a cent in his pocket, con
cluded to diminish his debt and there
fore handed'his cont over to tho clerk,
who in turn, paid half of his debt by
giving tho coin to tho cashier.
Tho latter handed tho cont hack to
tho oflice boy, remarking: 'Now, I owe
you only one cont.' The office boy
again pasted tho cent to the clork,
who pasted it back to the oflice boy,
and the latter square! all accounts by
paying it to the olork, thereby din
chnrgmg the entiro dobt."
ONCE AGAIN.
Now that a duly authorized com
mittee of three of our citizens, viz : S.
A. Pursell, T. H. M. Green and E. H.
Springer, are, or will be, out among
our citizens for the purpose of raising
the necessaiy amount of stock to se
cure to us the erection of the proposed
woolen mill at Union, it will be nec
essary, for the success of the enter
prise, that every citizen of Union and
vicinity put his shoulder to the wheel
and help it along. Let those who will
take stock put down as liberally as his
circumstances will allow, and no more.
Let those who prefer to donate to the
enterprise do so to an amount
which they believe they can justly
contribute. Every citizen in and
around Union knows that we must
act with a spirit of just libetalitv in
the undertaking to induce manufael
uting establishments of any kind to
come and be a part of us. This is a
simple business move, and the question,
will it pay us to give such sums as we
may be able to give, or to take stock
sullicltnt to build the mill will have
to be answered by each individual
himself. If such a manufaetuiing es
tablishment as proposed can be erect
ed within our city limits, we earnestly
believe that it will, if properly man
aged, be productive of large beneficial
results, not only to our town, but the
whole surrounding country. It will
be tho means of circulating a largo
amount of money among us every
month; it will bring among us several
hundreds of families ; it will give en
ergy to our people and they will have
a still stronger faith in the town; it
will be the means, probably, of bring
ing other manufaetuiing establish
ments here. All these things must,
in the very natuie of the ease, assist
in building up tho town and the coun
try around us. One business after
another will bo built up because the
circumstances which increased the
population will demand business en
terpiises of such a nature as will pro
vide for the various requirements of
the people. As to whether the invest
ment will be a remunerative one, like
every other investment, will depend
largely upon the judicious manage
ment of the concern. Now, citizens of
Union, it is within your means to
make our beautiful city teem with en
terprise and spirit, and you know it.
Take hold of the matter with a deter
mination that knows no failure, and
success will eventually crown your
efforts. We trust the committee will
spare no pains to make the matter go,
and that success will attend their every
move.
APPLEGATE'S SPEECH.
Gen. Lish. Applcgatc, according to
advertisement, spoke at the court
house last Monday night in the inter
ests of the republican candidates, to
an audience of about fifty or sixty per
son. His speech was of that kind charac
teristic of the average republican sp a
kcr of the present campaign year. He
characterized the democratic party as
a free trade party; an emissary of Eng
land and composed ot the ignorance,
superstition and lawless element of the
world. His argucment upon the tariff
question showed his non-acquaintance
with the operation of the taritl laws,
and his proofs wero nude statements
made to suit his case. Ho denounced
tho policy as announced by Arthur,
Gaiiiold and Cleveland as regards tho
tariff reduction, and spit wool in the
faces of a few slice) men to make them
know that Harrison and Morton were
their only protectors. Ho "observed"
that Harrison was a christian, a sol
dier, a statesman and the working
man's friend, but failed to clear up his
abominable Chinese record. Neithor
did he, while speaking of England, tell
about Levi P. Morton's banking inter
est in that land across the waters.
His speech was one of those kind cal
culated only to eatisty tho confirmed
members of his party, and to detract
from, more than to build up.
