Of the Unions. who 1t is believed, had
expected to be the dictstors in the
matter Of State ticket
From all appearances the Unions have
been playing sort of spider and fly
game with the Regulars Although
they have made no admissions, it has
been limited on the side, and there
have been pretty good grounds for the
hints, that they expected to hold their
State convention ahead of the Regulars
and nominate candidates for governor,
Representative in Congress and one
elector, leaving vacant the Offices Of
lieutenant governor, two electors, State
treasurer, auditor and insurance COM
missioner, with the hoEe that the Regu-
lars would, at their convention, fill
these vacancies and accept the other
nominations made by the Unions, the
object being to get the two factions to
unite on ticket made up in this
fashion. The Unions had intended. it
is believed, to give to their State com.
mittee power to fill the vacancies, which
would have left the way clear for q
single ticket, provided the Regulars
should consent to be the tail to the
Addicks kite.
But the Regulars do not propose to
be caught In any such trap and will not
| dance to the Addioks music. Further
more, they propose to make the voters
show their colors before the conventions
| are held. Under the primary election
law q man can vote at only one primary
election in any one year, as when be
votes his vote il marked opposite bis
name in the registration books and the
mark prohibits him from voting again,
except at the general election. Conse-
quently, those who vote at the Regu-
lars primaries, on August Goth, cannot
vote at the Union primaries, on the 22d.
| Now that the Regulars have signified
by their action that they do not propose
to be dictated to by the Addicks people
and they will undoubtedly nominate q
| full ticket at their convention, the AID.
dicksites will either have to accept oil
or cart of their ticket--which it il
hardly likely they will door pit full
Union Republican ticket in the field.
1t is believed they will accept the
Regular electors, but they will hardly
endorse any other part OF the ticket.
1t is apparent from their action thai
the Regulars do not intend to go int
common primaries with the Union Re.
publicans. As stated above, the Unior
primaries will be held in this county
on August 22d, two days after th,
Regulars primaries, while in Kent ant
Sussex the Union election will take
place on Saturday, August 18th. 1t il
likely that at tomorrow's meeting o
the Regular State Committee the dat
for the primaries in the lower counties
will be fixed. The date will probabl,
be the same throughout the State

utilization. But this was quickly dis
sipated by the news OF the disaster at
Nitral's Mex and the gravity of the
news from China. While the royal
garden party failed in its purpose, IL

peeresses, generals and Indian raiahs,
princes and prinoesses, loading states-

dignitaries intermingled gaily, forming
dazzling mass Of color ngainst the
green background of the Buckingham
Palace lawns After chatting with
few guests, the Queen drove out
through double lines of visitors proba-
bly, Us distinguished as were ever
formed in England. Cabinet ministers,
Ambassadors, actors, princes, doctors
and lawyers stood bareheaded until the
sovereign was out Of the grounds.
Apart from the garden party, the talk
of the week in society has been the

As the early southbound train on the
Wilmington & Northern railroad
Friday was approaching Modena, the
locomotive came to halt some distance
above the station, and the passengers,
upon alighting, found that two horses
had their feet and legs through the
trestle Just ahead of the train. The
animals had escaped from pasture on
the farm of II. Preston Baker, who
lives in that vicinity, and had wandered
down the track until they reached the
trestle, through which both animals
fell. Several men from tins neighbor-
hood, assisted by the crew OF the train,
succeeded in lifting the horses out, and
ono Of them, owned by Mr.. Baker, was
not badly hurt, but the other, owned
by nephew, Preston Jones, had its
front knee crushed, so that the horse
had to be killed.

OBITUARY..

At ii a. m, Wednesday, May Both
there occurred the death Of an old pi-
oneer, Mrs. John Willoughby. Deceas.
ed was 7S years old the first of last
March, and therefore had been for
some years living on borrowed time
She was born in the North of ireland,
and came to America when 20 years
old, stopping in Philadelphia, Pa.
where she was married to her now be-
reft husband, John Willoughby.
Some time after her marriage she re-
moved with her husband to Canada
and after some years residence in the
Dominion the family came to Michi-
gan, settling in Fremont township, San
lilac Co., near ROseburg, some 20 years
ago. 1t was here that she resided at
the time of death.
Mrs. Willoughby leaves four chill
dren, a son and three daughters: John,
who lives in Fremont; Mrs. Sheldon, of
Yale; daughter in Washington, and
one in Oregon.
The funeral occurred to-day at 10 a.
m. and was conducted by Rev +. j..
Eymer in the Fremont Presbyterian
church. The interment was made in
the cemetery near Roseburg. Thus
was laid to rest, faithful wife, low
ing mother, and a kind hearted friend
and neighb0r. The bereaved ones have
the unfeighned sympathy of a large
circle of friends and neighbors.

DECORATION DAY.

Decoration Day was observed III
Yale. When we consider the fewness
of old soldiers in this region, and the
scarcity of people who were directly
concerned and had experience in the
civil war, we will not wonder that it is
difficult to arrange fitting exercise. AS
it was, there was some delay and mis-
apprehension as to the nature of the
program, place and time of meeting,
and order of march. Owing to the
fact that there is no eloquence in
Y ale ready to be uncorked or uncork
itself at moments notice, that fea-
ture was omitted from the program.
The procession was formed in front
of Central Hall at 10 am. and after be-
ing joined by the Peck Band, took up
the line of march for Elmwood ceme-
terry. The column was led by the band
and the w. IL. Dumphy post, No. 424,
under the command of Comrade Ell
more Putney. They were followed by
the children of Yale schools, carrying
banners and flowers, and they in turn
succeeded by line of citizens in car
riages.
Arriving at the cemetery, the service
of the GAR was conducted by the
post, and the graves of dead soldiers
iittingly decorated. The day has
come to be one generally observed by
all; and the graves of many loved ones
were beautifully prepared and fittingly
decorated.
The GAR post are very grateful to
the school children and their teachers
for the aid rendered and the flowers
furnished; to the citizens of Yale for
their generous display of national
flags; and to the Peck Band, for their
inspiring music. In this service, the
Band Boys deserve not only praise fer
the excellent music rendered, but
thanks are due them for their gene
rosity. They came all the way from
Peck, and did this efficient service
without money and without price,
doing it all out of patriotism and rev.
erence for the day and honored dead.

Agents Samples.

Every body knows that the sample
carried by agents are always little
better than stock. 1t does not pay the
manufacturers to send out imperfect
or poorly made samples. When agents
are through with their samples they
sell them for what they can get at the
last town they visit. We purchased
last week a big sample stock of Baby
Bonnets at almost nothing. We will
sell regular 80, 80, and rs cent Bonnets
at % cents. $l.00 to $1.50 Hats and
Bonnets at 40 cents. Another purchase
was a big lot of Leather Belts and
Ladies' Pocket-books, bought at our
own price-they are being sold the
same way, 10 to 80 cents each. Also a
Great Sample Sale in Millinery De-
partment. Hurry up for the good
things. Boice's, Port Huron.
