that makes no difference In the fact that the
price Of silver is subject to precisely the same
natural laws as that Of any other commodity.

The advocates Of the single gold
standard have ever maintainec that the

There is one medicine which every
family should be provided with. We re-
fer to Chamberlain's Pain Balm. When
it is kept at hand the severe pain OF
burn or scald may be promptly relieved
and the sore healed in much less time
than when medicine has been sent for.
A sprain may be promptly treated before
inflammation sets in, which insures q
cure in about one-third the time other
wise required. Cuts and bruises should
receive immediate attention, before the
parts become swollen, and when Cham.
berlain's Pain Balm is applied it will
heal them without matter being formed,
and without leaving scar. A sore
throat may be cured in one night. A
piece of flannel dampened with this lini-
ment and bound on over the scat OF
pain, will cure lame back or pain in the
side or chest in twenty -four hours. Itis
the most valuable, however, for rheuma-

of incarceration was considered. No
young girl, no matter what the crime,
is bad enough to be imprisoned in a
jail in such a condition as ours. The
bed has held hoboes and maudlin
wretches, rocking with vermin and
perhaps suffering from contagious dis
eases. It may be just punishment
for such to hold them in such place,
but it was certainly inhuman and I'M
christian to keep this girl there. She
was deemed innocent by most of the
people and the denouement proves it
conclusively. If a prison is to be kept
to retain prisoners it should be kept in
a good sanitary condition and the Off
GERS should be held responsible for it's
condition. A further criticism came
out, too, when it was learned that the
girl, although innocent, was compelled
to pay part of the costs.
1t is to be hoped that no such pro-
ceedings will ever occur in Mile Laos
county again.

THE COUNTY FAIR.

Mile Laos County Will Attempt to Show
People What She Can Do.
The executive committee of the
Mile Laos county Agricultural society
informed the UNION this week that it
had already begun to make the prep
arations for the county fair to be held
the week preceding the State fair.
The object in changing the date of the
event is to secure, if possible, a repre-
sentative collection of farm products
to be exhibited at the State fair, a
prize of 5000 being offered by the State
Agricultural society for the best dis
play.
In order to have an abundance of
room in which to display everything, a
new building will be erected for the
specimens of the women's handiwork,
leaving the present building to be
used exclusively. for, the exhibits of
grains, getables,< etc. This Will give
plenty of room so that each farmers
collection may be arranged in Salts
factory manner. The premium list
will be issued early next month so that
all intending exhibitors will have an
opportunity to know what specimens
to preserve. A good programme of
races will be arranged for and the
UNION is assured that no details will
be overlooked in the endeavor to make
the fair a grand success.
Mile Laos county is the garden spot
of the North Star State and it is for
the welfare of the citizens that this
fact be widely known. Everyone
should do everything possible to help
the fair along and give the officers
hearty cooperation and assistance.

THE. DAM BLOWED.
The Bradbury Brook Dam Went Out Last
Week Wednesday.

The Bradbury Brook Dam Went Out Last
Week Wednesday.
The drive, which up to Wednesday
had been coming along in most salts
factory manner, is now firmly hung up
and will so remain for at least 80 days.
The cause Of this catastrophe was the
blowing of the Bradbury Brook dam,
which occurred Wednesday of last
week. The direct property loss is
estimated at $4,000 and besides this
35,000,O00 feet of logs are lying along
the river abandoned by the driving
crews.
The work of reconstruction was i'm
mediately begun but it will be a week
or ten days before the remnants of the
old dam can be removed and the logs
which were in the pond above floated
off so as to allow the building of the
new dam. The cause of this truly un-
fortunate affair was faulty construc-
ton, for the water lacked ten inches of
rising to a full head when it happened.
Had the dam held, logs would have
reached Milaca, Friday, where most of
them would have been sawed.
''There is no great loss without some
gain'' and in this matter Anoka is the
gamer. Reed & Sherwood's logs and
those of Page Bros. were to have been
sawed at Milaca and few here. The
mills at Anoka were not to run long,
but this delay will make it almost out
of the question for Foley Bros. to I'M
dertake such a contract. Thirty and
perhaps 40 days must elapse before the
logs can reach Milaca and the chances
are that both Page Bros. and Reed
& Sherwood will be obliged to take the
logs to Anoka and SAW them in their
own mills, if they expect to get it done
this season. Foley Bros. are now at
work putting new dam at Whitney
Brook which went out the first of last
week. .,.". 1|.'

A Young Girl Was Jailed Sunday Charged
With Stealing Harness and Cart.
Quite little excitement was created
Sunday by the arrest of girl of about
sixteen summers charged with steal
ing harness and gig. The arrest was
caused by q telegram from Big Lake
and the maiden was taken into custody
by Sheriff Mark just as she was prepar-
ing to return with the outfit. She had
relatives travelling through the coun-
try dealing in Oregon horses, and had
ridden 90 miles on horseback to Join
them. Becoming tired of this method
of travelling she borrowed a harness
and cart at Big Lake, putting up her
watch as security, and promising to re-
turn the rig Saturday night. When
she arrived here, however, her pony
was so nearly exhausted that to return
was impossible, and she remained over
night with her relatives, who were in
camp across the bridge. Monday morn
ing the parties owning the rig arrived
and decided to allow the girl to go on
the return of the dilapidated conglom-
GRAFTON of scrap iron, leather and wood.
They paid part of the costs and the re-
mainder was paid by the girl, when
she was given her liberty.
The matter created considerable COM
ment and was considered by many to
be high-handed proceeding. The
criticism was sharp when the manner

occasion. Twenty-four candidates
were in readiness to receive the sublime
mysteries OF the noble order, and dur
ing the course of the evening. the beau
tiful ceremonies and lectures were
touchingly bestowed on the seeking
pilgrims. 1t was an important occa-
sion in the history OF the order in
Anolza, and the long line of parade
headed by the drum corps, must serve
to give the uninitiated an elevated idea
OF the Importance of the order. For
genuine hospitality and freehearted-
ness the Anoka boys can not be ex-
celled. The visiting brethren we're
objects of kind attention and court
eously waited upon, every want antici-
pated in the way of eatables and other

all in attendance are open and avowed
candidates for an invitation when the
next class is ready for initiation.

THAT Princeton will celebrate the
Fourth was decided last week, but
whether or not gate fees should be
charged was not settled until Monday.
q celebration where everything, even
the horse races and ball game, is free
to all who desire to attend was deemed
by most of the citizens to be the proper
thing and so it will be.
In the morning parade of ragmuf-
fins will usher in the small boys red
letter day and the sport will come fast
and furious until 1880 P. M. Then the
scene of the excl tement will change to
the fair grounds where there will be
trotting races, pony races, mule races,
slow races, bicycle races and foot races.
But the event about which the great
estinterest will center will be the ball
game, Anoka being billed to come up
here to try conclusions with the
Princeton crackerjacks. This seasons
team from the down river city is said
tosbe one of the best that has ever
represented Anoka and if the Prince
ton boys win the game it must be done
by good, hard playing. But then of
course Princeton will do it.
In the evening there will be dis
play of fireworks which will fittingly
close the day. Everybody is invited to
come and see the sports, have a good
time and go home rejoicing.
Ehe horse races are to be between
local horses, no horses owned outside

Milaca VS.. Princeton.

The return game between Milacfores-
ton and the home team has been
played. There were no stumps, trees
or brush heaps on the grounds so
Princeton won in a canter. The
Princeton team lacks practice, but the
cranks are satisfied that it has the
right kind Of talent to place it above
most amateur clubs Of the State.
The game was opened with Princeton
at the bat, who went out in order, while
Milaca marked up four scores. In the
second two of each club managed to
make the circuit and in the third
Milaca got two to Princeton one Then
Princeton braced up and scored three.
Milaca was forced to smile and look
pleasant while an 500 was scored, the
side being retired by a grounder to
second, followed by a line hit to short
which ripened into double play.

Ousting Old Settlers.

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, Aug.
N.-COnsternation was caused in
this and adjoining counties by the
appearance of an army lieutenant
and squad of men with instruc-
tions to all settlers on the govern
ment reserve to vacate the same
before September 10Th, or be re-
moyed by the troops. This move
is the outcome of recent order of
the war department and it is con-
servatively estimated that 1,50O
settlers will lose their homes. In
the early days when the settlement
of Washington was beginning the
government took occasion to set
aside much valuable lands on
which it intended to establish In
dams. These reservations on the
part of the government exceeded
needs of the occasion and it never
made an attempt to take up the
lands. Many pioneers settled up
on these tracts, which by intelli-
gent cultivation have been devel-
oped into the finest farming land
in the state. 1t is feared here that
trouble will ensue.
