THE STORY OF A DOG.
How "scOut," the Famous Canine
Eauestrian, Became IA Performer.

The handsome little spotted shepherd
dog, Scout" with the Gentry shows,
perhaps attracts more notice and re-
ceives more attention than any of the
other dogs in this fine collection, due to
his very evident intelligence and the eX-
tremcly difficult feats which he performs
Those who see him now in the ring would
hardly believe that but a few years ago
the now celebrated equestrian was a poor.
homeless. little stray dog. but such is a
fact. The beginning of his circus career
is related by Professor Gentry and
sounds most romantic
The show was in an Ohio town for one
day. Early after their arrival all the
dogs We're taken from their apartments
in the car TO their kennels under the
menagerie tent. a poor. hungry, detected
looking, stray dog was noticed following.
When the tent was reached the stray
dog entered with the others. but was
driven out. He came back and was again
driven away. but only to return again
and again with the same results. His
persistency was a positive nuisance, but
the attendants finding he was determined
10 remain. finally allowed him 10 DO so.
During both performances that day this
vagabond dog was noticed sitting by the
ring-slde intently and eagerly watching
tn other dogs perform their various feats
After the show that night ali the dogs
were taken TO the car, the tramp fol-
lowing at distance until the car was
reached. when he tried 10 enter with the
rest. He was given a lash with a whip
and sent away yelping. No more atten-
ton was given him and the door was
locked. A trip of about eighty miles was
made that night. and next morning. when
the keepers went to the car, their sur
prise may be imagined when the tramp
of the day before was discovered lying
on the steps. He had ridden there all
night.
Professor Gentry's attention was called
to him. and being favorably impressed
by his seeming intelligence. he decided TO
train him. Scout, as he was named,
proved an exceedingly apt pupil. and in a
few months he made his debut I'm the
sawdust arena. He steadily improved in
his chosen profession. and now is recog-
nized as the greatest dog equestrian in
the world.
His bareback riding is truly a great
achievement, and he is one of the special
features Of the performance.
Those who see this beautiful, sleek,
well-fed fellow. as he now appears in the
ring or on parade. can hardly realize
that but few years ago Scout was only
a poor hungry tramp
The dog and pony show concludes its
engagement in this city with a matinee
and night performance to-day.

TO PROTECT PUPILS EYES.

AT the meeting Of the City School Board
Monday night a resolution was adopted
which will introduce into Richmond a
new system.
1t was determined 10 inaugurate the
movement first in the High School 1t is
intended to prevent children with defec-
tive eyesght from attending school with
out knowledge OF the defect, and en-

city, TO examine the eyes of each child.
Parents will be notified Of defects in
their children's eyes and thus given the
opportunity to secure medical attention
Tor them before irreparable damage has

While the system will only he tried

badly hereafter be extended 70 the other
schools.
This Is new thing I'm Richmond. but
IL is said to have been tried i'm other
cities, and to have resulted in great good
TO the rising generation.

Our Plans.

Our readers have probably noticed
considerable change in the UNION dur
ing the past two months and they will
undoubtedly agree with US that it is
for the better. The UNION is giving
its? readers more for the money than
any other paper in the State. Our
latest departure is the publication
of special copyrighted serials and nov
elettes which will be commenced next
week and our list includes the writ
ings Of many of the most popular
writer's of the day. Our first story will
be '''The Red Badge of Courage by
Stephen Crane, treating of the adven-
lures of a private soldier in the Civil
War, and is a very interesting piece of
fiction. =:
The price of the UNION will remain
81 per year and at this price no one
can afford be without it. Tell your
neighbors about the treat in store for
the, UNION readers and induce them to
subscribe, ~,.-s- - $m-."t..

fore the summer is over the citizens
will be- enjoying the benefit Of these
improvements. m. ....:. .8.s .
The special election called for last
Tuesday passed off quietly, there be-
ing good interest shown and an evil
dent spirit among the voters to do what
they deemed best for the interests Of
the village. Although the polls opened
at o'clock very few votes were cast
before 2, those present apparently
waiting to talk the matter over and
deciding each for himself whatto vote.
Mayor. Galley and G.. S. Newman dis
cussed the matter for few minutes
after the crowd arrived and they were
followed by Mr.. Dunn, who spoke in
favor of the improvement and heartily
endorsed the plan. When the discus
sion was finished the crowd began to
vote and in the next twenty minutes
the larger part of the votes were cast.
The polls closed at O'Clock and byy
4:3O the result was KNOWN. the vote
standing ia in favor and 81 against,
with five votes which were either blank
or improperly marked. -. (
The citizens of the village may well
congratulate themselves upon this re-

of lasting benefit and places the village
