Johnson, l'lre nt a Snw Mill, ' One night lnt week the saw mill belong ing to Bloch, Zuber and Kobbs, on Grande Rondo river was discovered to be on fire. Fortunately a number of mill hands were near by when the fire was discovered, and they immediately set to work removing the machinery and extinguishing the flames. They succeeded in saving a grcatT part of the machinery, but the building and con siderable lumber was destroyed. It is sus picioncd that the fire was set out by some person maliciously disposed. Guilty of Grrnt Crime. The Portland daily newspapers have com mitted a grievous crime in suppressing the fact that Miinllpox existed in Portland. For the sake of having a good attendance at the Mechanics' 'fair they thus endanger the lives of hundreds yes, thousands of in nocent and unsuspecting people. That a great fair might score a still greater suc cess, these newspapers scatter the seeds of pestilence throughout the wholo coast. For this they deserve the severest censure that nn outraged people cati place upon them. Capitol Journal. Klrctrlr Ulttcrs.

Very Pacrtliins. o A facetious drummer speaking about Eastern Oregon towns remarked: '"Union .the county seat, of Union county, was once a good lively town, but now it was dead, or very near it." 'What is the matter with Union?" asked the reporter. '"Only this it is all Wright."-W. W. Statesman. Right here we write it down that it Is not right to lie in order to be facetious. The above squib which has been going the rounds of the papers, is misleading, and has a tendency to injure our town, Union is just about as lively as it ever was; is in a prosperous condition and will continue to be so notwithstanding the "faectiousness" of traveling drummers. An Explanntinn. What is this "nervous trouble" with which so many seem now to be afllicted? If you will remember a few years ago tho word Malaria was comparatively unknown, to-day it is as common as any word in the English language, yet this word covers on ly the meaning of another word used by our forefathers In times past. So it is with nervous diseases, as they and Malaria arc intended to cover what our grandfathers called Biliousness, and all are caused by troubles that arise from a diseased condi tion of the Liycr which in performing its functions finding it cannot dispose of the bile through tho ordinary channel in com pelled to pass it off through thu system, causing nervous troubles, Malaria, Billons Fever, etc. You who arc suffering can well appreciate a cure. We recommend flreen's August Flower. Its cures are marvclon. The Contralia, W. T News says: "Mr. Aynmv has sold his addition to Misers. P. 1. Heaot Union, OreRon, nn l A. T. Wright of San Juan.

While the eitv affairs siein to have moved along very satisfacto rily during the p:it year, o i that account the cltf. ns should not relax their interest hut attend tha election and see that the men an- elected who will be most likely to continue the sinne. The following officers are to he elected: A mayor, recorder, treasurer, marshal and two aldermen. Theie is but very little pay in any of these offices not sufficient to induce any one to accept who Iia not the welfare of the city at heart and is willing to donate some of his time in its interest. We do not know whether the fiiitgoing olhcers will serve another term or not, but if they can be in duced to do so, we think the people will act wisely, to make every one of them his own successor. Mr. Kennedy has make a most excellent mayor, taking a great Interest in the city management and has been at all times prompt and painstaking in the dis charge of his duties. Mr. Levy and Mr. Elliott, 'councilmen. whose terms expire, are the right men in the r'gnt place. The interests of the city cannot be better sub served than by returning them. Mr. I'uttle Is the best recorder we have had for a long time. Mr. Brniimnl is the right man for treasurer, as nothing can possibly go wrong while he holds the keys to tho "strong box," Mr. Heritage has proven himself eminently nttou lor marsimi and lias given entire sat infliction so far. There is one matter that has been consid erably discussed of late, and the council has been urged repeatedly to take action on :t, that is the enacting of an ordinance pro hiblting cows from running at large within the city limits. No action has been taken, however, because it is a question with two sides and the council is ignorant of the wishes of the majority of the citizens in re gard to it. There is no doubt that it is very annoying to many residents, and expensive to the city, for cattle to roam around the streets, breaking into yards and enclosures ruining sidewalks and investigating the contents of the farmers' wagons on market days and thereby causing much unseemly language and bloodcurdling profanity, but on the other hand it will be a great hard ship on those owning these animals, which aic almo"t indispensable in any well regu lated family, to be compelled to keep them constantly at home. In view of these facts it has occurred to us that it would be a good idea for the citizens to express their views on thcs'ibjeet at the elect ion'.next Monday 1 hat they may do so, a petition for and against such a move should be posted up at the polls to be signed by all voter, and should the majority desire such an ordi nance passed, the presumption is that the council vill at once comply with their wishes. Hot J-inlio, t'nlon Couily. The Hot Lake, lying between Union and La Grande, has long been noted to possess medical properties, which should long be fore this have niiido it famous as a health resort, but its properties have never been properly advertised, and outside the stale we might almost .say county its existenco is scarcely known. Now, however, the lake lias been purchased by a combination of capital, and incorporated under the name of Tho Hot Medleal L'iko Association, with N. Blum. M. Bakes, W. .1. Snodgrass, S. F. Newhard, and A. Sonimer as directors. They intend, as soon as the proper amount of stock is subscribed, to build a large and elegant hotel and lay out a town, which they will advertise extensively in all parts of tho United States. Mr. Blum, when ho went cast a few months since, took some of the water with him and had it subjected to annalysis to compare it with the waters of Hot Springs. Arkansas, and competent physicians pronounced it equal if not su perior in curative propc-tics to Hot .Springs water. This ought to bo sullleiout In itself to make It popular as a health re sort for the people of the Northwest. This enterprise will also be a benefit in adver tising the (iraiuh) Hondo valley In general to Uie peeple of the east. Gazette. Tilt) Cumlviil. The ''Kobcrtine" carnival held in this city last Monday evonlng, was quite largely attended, and taken altogether was a very cnjoyublc nlliiir.
