EDITOR CNION.-I read an article,
few weeks ago in your paper, signed
"One of the Boys" also one signed "E.
J. S." The last named. take to be
another one uf the boys, possibly an
Elderly one.
The above writer's, together with
some named by E. J. 5. should have Ev-

the masses Of our people believed the
sdage San honest man Is the noblest
work of Cod" -.
But such men seem strang, ~ out OF
place when bO0dleism seems to REICH
supremely in the affairs of government
from president down to constable. We
conclude such men are scarce at time
when money makes and unmakes our
laws, executes or defeats their execu-
ton at pleasure, and when money con-
strues0ur Laws, or,te be little more
explicit, when our courts..of justice,
falsely so-called, become simply engines
of oppression in the hands of the rich

The first writer referred to seems to
think the people of our county have
been deliberately and systematically
robbed Of several hundred thousand dol
lars. Perhaps there is not an honest,
Intelligent voter in the county, who is
posted in the premises, that would I'm.
dertake to deny such an assertion. And
had he said the robbery was as lower

it was more cowardly, think he would
not have expressed just conception OF

Are times hard on editors? The n let
me suggest to the editor of the UNION
how he can get some loose change: Let

the editor publish in substantially

the names of every one living spare the
dead who has sold his soul to Satan and
his vote and influence to those that per-

A most peculiar case Of prolonged sleep
is at present occupying the attention Of
medical circles in Germany. A miner
named Johann Latus is an inmate of the
hospital at Myslowitz. in Silesia, where
he was admitted four months and half
ago. and since then all efforts to wake
him have been fruitless. DR.. Albers,
the doctor attending him, is Of the opin-
ion that the apparent sleep Is really a
state of catalepsy. though medical science
has on record no previous case of such a
prolonged nature He has arrived at
this conclusion on account Of all the
limbs being absolutely rigid. The APP
pearance of the man. however, oetrays
no signs of this. The body lies quite
still. the breathing is regular, and there
is a healthy color in the cheeks. In the
last few days the body has become much
less rigid. and the patient has even made
some slight movement without, how
ever. the eyes opening or the condition
of apparent sleep being in any way dis
turbed In the four months and a hall
that the sleep has lasted the hair has IN
creased in length. but the beard has re-
manned stationary. Nourishment to tn
extent Of two or three liters Of milk il
administered daily by a tube inserted

Matrimonial Advice Tor Young Women.
Rev. DR.. John A. Brooks preached re-
Gently on marriage Among other things
he said "A young lady ought never to
marry until she is matured. and then
when she finds a man TO suit her she
ought to marry him. But do not marry
TO keep from being an old maid. Old
maids are honorable. Nearly all the
women who have figured in history as
poets. orators, composers and queens
have been old maids. Do not marry
stingy man. He will always be com
planning of your expenditures, and will
refuse you the necessary money to insure
your happiness and will lead you a
miserable life. Do not marry fop or
dandy. His brains are ali in his heels
and clothes While he may be a good
thing for the girls to play with. he would
be an awful thing to live with.
DO not marry lazy man. for even if
possessed of gold it will soon be dissi-
pated. and he will not have the energy
to earn a living. Do not marry a
stranger You ought to know the man
and his antecedents. These might be
such as would shame you and bring sor-
row upon your heart. Venture slowly
Do not marry simply for money. Money
may take wings and fly away and leave
you with nothing to love and admire
Do not marry an immoral man. His as
ISOLATION with you would drag you down
to his own moral level Be sure that the
man you marry is an honest man in all
things. Let him be an industrious man
and he will build mp a home and main
tain it with all the necessities and com
forts of life. Be sure he is possessed OF
manliness. and finally that he has love
and reverence for God A man who
does not love and honor God will not
love and honor his wife. kansas City
