The people of Union have Wen nwl
agreeabl entertained thl week bv that
j superb tragedian. John S. Lindsay, and hi
talented company, Mr. Lindsay fully
sustained the reputation that had pre
ceded him, and we do not hesitate to
say that ho is among the best, if not the
best actor, that ha ever visited thi eitv.
lib conception of "Injrom.nr. the Rartmr

ing, is the bet wc nave ever seen, and in
his impersonation of the noble manhood
and chivalrous pirit f the barbarian, was
simply jrraitd. Mi P.ulloy. the leading
lady. 1 but IK tie inferior to Lindsay n
an artite, and, a Parthenia, captured
the affection of the audience a speedily a
she did tho heart of lng.imar. n Tuesday
evening. In the entirely different character
of Dnnstan Kirke, in the beautiful domes
tic drama of "Hazel iKirkc,'' Mr. Lindsay
proved his Mrsatillty as an actor, und per
sonated the iron-lrrtcd, honest old man
to perfection. Miss Ridley, a Hazel, fre
quently melted the audience to tears. Last
night. In the thrilling drama of "Damon
and Pythias." they appeared to great ad
vantage and were listened to with intense
interest. It Is seldom that a traveling com
pany appears in which every member is
worthy f praise, but nch a company is
Mr. Lindsay's. We arc sor.v that our lim
ited .space forbids n mention of each one,
lndi idually, for they dcrscrvo it. To night
they will appear in La Grande, and will
remain there the ballnnec of the week. To
our readers in that section of the county
we recommend the company, and will say
that if you wish to see the mirror held
up to Nature with fidelity and truth, and
to forget your own affairs for a brief space
in the illusions of the mimic stage, a rare
opportunity to do so i now presented.
A Crn.y Traveler.
Las Wednesday as the eat bound pass
enger train reached the Union depot, a
man on board became suddenly inline,
lie got oir tho train actimr wildly and
would no doubt have hurt himself or some
one clan if he bad not been taken in charge
by constable Gates and brought up to town.
Wc learn that his name is O.J. ISolile and
ho was en route fioni Portland to St Loui,
Mo. liohlc has been employed by the 0. 1!.
it N. Co. as cleik in the passenger auditor's
department at Portland, became insane
about six weeks ago and was examined
and committed to the aylum at Salem.
E. J. Mastcn, the auditor, interceded in
favor of the young man and had him
placed in the St. Vincent hospital at Pott
land und paid for hi. care and treatment
until he supposed him to be in condition to
go to his father in St Louis, Mo. The rail
road company gave him a pass and sulli
eient funds to take him home. Rut he
lefL the train at this station, not knowing
where he va, and was taken in charge and
held for examination, which, however, was
avoided by a telegram from Mr. Mastcn
icquesling that he he returned to Portland.
On receipt of the telegram, be, was taken
back and upon his arrival was examined
and committed to the asvlum at Salem.
He was a trusty and industrious employee
of the company, hence the interest taken in
his welfare, lie is L"J years of age, and
was married at the age of It) and has a wife
and ono child in the east, they having sepa
rated, lie attempted suicide at Portland
about six weeks ago by cutting ids throat
and stabbing himself three times in hi
breast with u pocket knife.

The only express company which serves
this country is extortionate in its charges.
A satchel, weighing live and a half pounds,
was sent from Portlund to The Dalles.
The charges made was llfty cents. Tho

and an additional charge of sovonty cents
made, making I 10 In all for transporting
eighty-eight ounces a distance of JJO miles

tents was placed ut ."). If a man should go
out on a highway.and demand that much
money for that amount of exertion, ho
would be thought a highwayman ami if
cuptuicd the law would scud him to the
petiiteiHiury. With one express company
j it is different ; it is thought a monopoly and
entitled to strut by law, hence the people
hue to consent to bo robbed until they
become used to it ami then they accept the
condition as a matter of course., contenting
themselves with the expectation that somo
day they s ill bo able to be Interested in a
monopoly und reap the reward of its steal

it takes radical talk to tunes to set moil
thinking who arc their oppressors. Hast

Last Friday, as a number of Umatilla
county students at the Leightou Academy
were returning home they created quite a
disturbance at the Union depot, and, going
on board -the train, conducted themselves
in such a manner that an attempt was made
to put them oil' by the conductor and some
of the passengers, which resulted in the
distribution of blade eyes and mashed
nasal protuberances. A telegram was
sent to the otllcers at La Grande lobe in
readiness to arrest the parties upon the
arrival of the train at that place. What the
result of Hie atrair was, we havu been un
