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.

La Grande, July 2S, 1SS8.
En. 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. Finding our
selves somewhat overstocked with bin
ders and headers, wo will offer you a
special reduction in prices. You can
save from $50 to $100 by purchasing
now. Stavkr & Wai.kkh, La Grande.
