DON'T BE A CLAM,
WANTED THEIR LIBERTY.
An Attempt to Break Jail is Discovered by
Deputy Sheriff Usher.
The suspicions of Deputy Sherill' Usher
wero aroused last Friday evening by lind
iiiKan ordinary steel case knife, which had
been tranfornn'd into a minaturo saw, be
low thu,wlndow in the southwest corner of
the county jail, ami upon a closer examina
tion it was ascertained that one of the iron
liars of tho window had been completely
sawed in twain, and that a Mif,'ht bend of
the rod was all that was necessary tcf form
a means of escape. It was also discovered
that the bolts hud been taken from one of
the boards of the high enclosuro surround
ing the jail, thus making it an easy matter
for the prisoners when oneoout of tlie build
ing, to obtain their liberty. Jlr. Uslur de
siring to learn tho moving party in the pro
posed break, allowed the prisoners tho free
dom of tho jail corridors until nine oclock
each evening, whilo he in tho meantime
took a convenient stand on the outside,
armed with a shotgun, determined upon
giving the llrst one making his appearance
at the exit a dose that he would lout; rem
ember. The pri-oners eveiiently knew that
they were watched and mado no further at
tempt. As a result Arnold and .Smith tho
suspected leaders In the break, are given
the freedom of the steel cages and will re
main there until their cases are disposed of
at tho September term of Circuit court.
The remaining three prisoners Kiseus,
Sicgsmnud and Merrill, arc kept in the old
jail building, which is deemed sulliciontly
secure for them us tho penalties for the
crimes with which they are charged are
comparatively light.

OUR SCHOOL
A $10,000 Addition to tho
Present .Building.
AN ORNAMENT TO THE CITY.
Union Coming to the Front aa an Educa
tional Center.
A special meeting of the yotors of school
district number " was held at the school
houso in this city last Friday to devise
means to accoiniuodatoour rapidly increas
ing school population. Tho voters were
divided on tho picstinn as to whether it
would bo advisable to erect a iwvv building
in Xorth Union or imild an addition to the
present school building. Upon a vote be
ing taken by the taxpayers of the district
it was decided by a largo majority to build
an addition 40x00 feet on tho west or front
end of the present structure. Tho addi
tion is to bo two stories in height, built of
brick and a model of architectural beauty.
It will be supplied with all the modern ap
pliances for tho successful teaching of
elementary courses in tho higher branches.
Tho proposed addition will add four
distinct rooms to tho already commodious
stiuctiire also Increasing the corps of teach
ers by four, and upon completion will com
pare favorably with any of tho educational
Institutions of tho state. It Is predicted
that many pupils from adjoining precincts
will take advantago of our educatlonul fa
cilities, and will avail themselves of the
opportunity to recelvo an education, that
will enable them to enter college, without
leaving tho county.
This is but a beginning toward making
Union a centor of learning, Situated as
she Is in the midst of a vast grove of pop
lar trees, with puro sparkling water, run
on either side of every street, and through
tho very center of which llows a line moun
tain stream, thocqucal of which is yet to be
found, she furnishes a most beautiful spot
for the weary pupils to spend their leistiro
hours in recreation and enjoyment. With
such surroundings school life is much more
pleasant and pupils return to tho school
room refreshed in mind, and body, with a
desire instead of a disliko to purine their
studies.
At ii subsequent meeting ol tho board of
directors the clerk of the district was in
structed to open up correspondence with
architects and loaning institutions to secure
plans and specifications and to plueo the
bonds. The building Is to cost not to ex
ceed f 10,000 and tho bonds to run not lon
ger than fifteen years. Active operations
will begin as soon as ull the preliminaries
a rearranged.

A DIFFICULT SUROICAL OPERATION.
The Last Honort to Sivo a Limb of Wil
liam Johnson.
On last Saturday morning Dr. Kwing, of
Lincoln, III., and Dr. Day of this city, per
formed n very dllllciilt nnd dangerous sur
gical operation on tho limb of Win. John
son of this city, the object being to save, if
possible, tho amputation of the diseased
member. Mr. Johnson has been suflering
from a disease of the knee Joint, resulting
from injury, for tho past six years and has
undergone many difl'orcntnud painful op
erations for its cure, including treatment
at the Portland Hospital, all of which were
of no avail, The wound gradually grew
from bad to worse, until it was thought
that tho only means of saving Ids life was
by amputation between tho knee ami thigh.
The doctors held a protracted consultation
last Friday and it was decided as a last ro
hort to endeavor to save tho limb. Several
incisions were made In and about the knee
joint, in which were planed tubes ofdlll'er
ont length. .Medicated solutions wero
forced through these tubes and the diseased
parts thoroughly cleansed of all putrid
matter. Tho patient is doing far better
than the doctors anticipated and great
hopes arc now entertained that he will re
cover, although he will never have perfect
use of the limb. Thus is recorded another
triumph in modern surgery.
