OFF THE TRACK.

The incoming train from Cheney
last evening, on the Wichita & West
ern road, came near meeting with a
very serious accident about nineteen
miles from this city. AS the train
was approaching the bridge across
Clear Creek, box broke causing the
trucks of one of the cars to jump the
track. Mr.. Hill, the engineer, realiZ-
ing the imminent danger to train
and passengers, whistled down bl eaks,
and allowed his engine to proceed
onto the bridge, the trucks of one or
two of the cars being entirely off the
rail, and nearly off the ends of the
ties. Had the train at once been
checked, undoubtedly coaches and
passengers would have been hurled
into the creek forty feet below. AS
it was the coaches were drawn across
in safety, though the ties and track
and some of the trucks were badly
broken up. On reaching a place of
safety, the trucks were fixed up as
best the circumstances would admit,
and the train reached here about two
hours behind time.
We learn from gentleman who has

that Anthony will get the road.

TINE LAST MIGHT.

A large audience were sgaiu pres
emf at the opera house last evening to
witness the third and last presenta-
ton of the Union Spy by the present
company. The company have greatly
improved in their several parts since
the first night, and the entertainment
last evening was of a character to
elicit frequent aud well-merited ap-
plause. Those who have labored so
zealously and hard to make the play a
success are to be congratulated on the
final outcome, as it has in all respects
proved an entire success. We are
pleased to say that the gross receipts
overreached $500, which will leave
quite handsome surplus on hand az
ter defraying expenses.

The inconsiderate person is often
given TO finding fault or criticising the

possible for policeman to be in two

the same time as it is for Wichita
belle to pass her rival without look

this city perform their duties faith
fully we are convinced, from the very
fact that there seems to be little
crookedness carried on here at the
present time. 1t is the universal re-
mark of strangers, "Why, what a

there are some things that escape the

After mature reflection, a careful
survey of the political situation, and
requests from man y of the elite of the
Republican party in this county, and
district, we have concluded to give
our support to Prof. A. M. Webster,
of this village, for Congressman from
this the Tenth District, and we hoist
his name at the head of this column.
1t is unnecessary for us to give all
reasons for rejecting the Republican
nominee, but we consider them ade-
quate. We have no personal acquain-
lance with Chas. +. Gibson, but we
have known Mr.. Webster intimately
for number Of years. He is a man
abundantly able to represent the dis
trict's interests in Congress, is sound
on the tariff question, and has no
blots on his personal character. He
has been nominated for this position
by the Prohibitionists, and while he
is a consistent advocate of those prin-
ciples, he is also a defender of pure
Republication. He is a man every
honest Republican can safely and
conscientiously support, and we hope
will be accepted and elected by those
citizens in the district who are in IA

JAMES MCNAMARA
Was born at Dexter, Michigan,
on July 4th, 1860. In 1867 he
attended the Ann Arbor Univer-
sity. In 1889 he served on
the staff of the Ann Arbor Argus,
and came to Alpena in 1882. Du-
ring the past two years he has served
as deputy county clerk, and had
charge of the Labor Journal for
about year. Several times he has
been chosen as a delegate to represent
the Autobiography party, at Chicago
and Detroit, and, at present, is a men,
Der of the Autobiography state COM
mittee.
He is young man of good reputa-
ton, temperate, is well known in this
city, and will, we believe, receive the
hearty support of the Democratic,
Greenback and Autobiography par
ties in this county. He is poor man
who has not hundreds or thousands of
dollars to spend on election, and yet
he proposes to actively canvass the
counties composing the district, and
do all he can to help the fusionists to
be successful. We hope he will re-
ceive the warm support of every per-
son opposed to Republican rule. He
did not seek the office--the office
sought him.

When the revenue derived from

the government it becomes an extor-

and when the tariff is so adjusted
as to put several dollars into the peck

one dollar it provides for the govern

not an "honest" system and the man

malicious treatment the Journal has
received at the hands of A. n. Kel-

them nothing, am at a loss to know
their motive for such unnecessary de-
lays. L have no assurances that they
have been tempered with at the Jour
nails expense, but there is something
in the political atmosphere hard to
understand. However, not feeling
disposed to submit to such impositions
any longer, / have sent elsewhere for
