Chinaman Kiu.ki. Li Hung Chow, one of this section Cliiinunen on the 0. R. tt N. road at the Union depot, -vns killed by being run over by the cars, last Monday. The section gang were on the curve above 'shod No. 2, and the work train was in the cut, about a quarter of n mile below, gath ering up lumber along tho track. The section gang started on the hand car for the depot, running at the rate of about ten or twelve miles an hour. The work train came on up, unawares, and met the hand car in shed No 2. They were within 100 feet of eaeh other when first sighted. The engineer re versed his engine, tho section boss put on the brake on the hand car and all tho gang jumped. Li Hung lumped ahead of the car and was run over by it, causing his death, The hand car was thrown from the track and the en gine, tender and one freight car ran over tho man's legs, severing one foot and almost severing the other. Justice "Wilson was notified of the fact and he immediately summoned a jury con sisting of T. B. II. Green, W. F.'Davis, Thos. Ficklin, J. M. Carroll. J. E. Tut tlo and J. M. Johnson, who, after a thorough investigation, returned a verdict in accordance with tho above facts, no blame being attached to tho railroad company or their employees. Liiskrai, Lkcttkr. Samuel P. Put nam, editor of Frecthought, the liberal magazine of San Franciteo, and also president of tho American Secular Union, is coming out through Oregon on a lecturing tour. Mr. Putnam is a man of superior merit and ability as an orator, and of him Col. Ingcrsol says: "Mr. Putnam is one of the most thorough believers in intellectual liberty in the world, lie has written some of the most Mining appeals to the Liberals of tins country 1 have ev er read. He believes that free thought has a future; that the tune is coming when tho superstition of this world will bo forgotten or remembered' some of them with smiles, most of them with tears. lie compels' tho adiniru tion of everyone who really loves the just and true." He will deliver a lec ture in Union, August KHh, 1888, and it is the promise of an intellectual treat to the people. No admission will bo charged. Man Kim.ki) at Huntinoton.

Scotrr: It seems that tho success of tho re publicans last Juno has completely turned the heads of her leaders through out the State. They imagine they can say anything, write and print anything without any regard to honor, decency or truth, and the masses will believe them. Tht little penny-whistle Ga rette has been reveling in a pool of lit tle nasty lies about "Free Trade" ever smcc the election, and still keeps up his lick, when he knows there is not a word of truth in any such a charge Like the vampire that feeds on gnats and flies, beseems to grow fat on filth. The dads, fearing the Ga:ette might get ashamed of such an infamous ca reer as it is pursuing, and weaken, pro pose to start a new paper at Union, under the auspices of W . T. right. S. O. Swackhamer and a ranter by tho name of G. M. Irwin. No danger of any sense of shame attacking that crowd. Wo propose to have something to say on this charge of "Free Trade." It will take something more than tho Ipse Dixe of the Gazette or tho new paper to give dignity to such a lying charge as that. If men, iu their blind partisan zeal, bigotry, cant and hypoc risy will publish to the world what they know is false, at least they should be reminded of it, and we say, whenev er a republican speaker, writer or street politician charges that the democratic party is in favor of free trade, he lies and lie knows it. If he is a minister of the gospel, so much the worse doubtless in spirit a distant relative of Judas. Although these men are fully aware that the history of the democra cy and the facts about the Mills bill show this charge is a lie, yet they think somebody will believe it, and to gratify their groveling natuies they keep it up week after week. One would suppose a feeling of honor, pride of character, a sense of shame, or even common de cency would deter men from such a course, but it seems when a man be comes a leading republican, either an orator, editor or common politician, all these considerations are totally ig nored ho must get right down in tho dirt, clothe himself in the garments of hypooiicy and show his ability to mix up religion, lies, money and whiskey to suit all comers and fill all require ments. Mr. editor, for the present we refrain from saying more, but. will remark, perhaps the Irwin and Gazatte may not have it all their own way. DEMOCRAT. A Si'i.kndii) Stock. Our Union merchant, Mr. A. Levy, is without doubt the largest dealer in clothing of any house in Union county. In addi tion to his already largo utock he has en route from the East, to arrive hero within the next few days, at least $1,000 worth of gent's clothing, ladies' cloaks, hose, etc. In order to make it possible to suit any customer, he is agent for one of tho most, extensive merchant tailoring establishments in the East, and if he cannot fit you in his stock' will tako your measure and have you a suit made. I le has an end less variety of samples of cloth over 200 in number, from which you can make your selection. Tho samples are all wool, and the finest pieces of cloth wo have ever seen. The prices are astonishingly low. Don't fail to call on Levy if you want clothing. Tim Cntcus. MoMahon's circus gavo two performances here last Friday, which wero very well attended. Wo do not hesitate to say that McMahon gave tho best ring performance of any circus that has yet visited Eastern Oregon. His contortionists, athletes and bare-back riders cannot bo beaten anywhere. The clowns wero consid erably above tho average. At the popular price charged for admission 50 cents, this circus deserves tho pat ronage of the people of Oregon. Attkntion, Fakmkiib.
