idea prevails in official circles that It
may be several weeks before it is

The advertising matter Of his alleged
Civil Service College, was 81 worded
as to leave the impression that he had
big pull with the Civil Service Com-
mission, which always appointed lho ose
recommended by him. Ssindling
person under the prete@ss of securing
them positions is pretty low down in
the scale of crime, bat it is gro owing
very common. The postal authorities
can only act when proof Of the swia-
die is obtained, ana the unwillinguess
Df victims to acknowledge that they
have allowed themselves to be robbed
makes that difficult and often impos
sible to obtain. The best preventive
of this kind OF swindling is tho adop-
i'm of an ironclid rule to have no
money dealings with concerns which
cannos furnish undisputsbIe evidence,
bank or commercial agency reference
of responsibility.
The general tendency tf distrust

official Of that bureau said: ave are

be pretty well sati- ed that he canuot

HOT AFTER EXTRAS.

THE UNION TINES again issued an
extra showing the returns from every
box in the county, excepting the State
vote at a small box Of 45 votes at Cole
raine, a remote box. We got the county
vote at that place too. We were deter
mined to have the returns in more
promptly this time, and went to work
in time, and arranged to get the returns
in on the same night of the election.
AS result of this we issued a tabulated
statement of the returns, showing who
was elected and who got left and WHO
was to run over in 45 minutes after the
last vote was counted at the Union box
We believe the people appreciate our ef-
forts TO give them good and prompt ser-
vice in handling this newspaper, as a
guarantee of this fact we think we need
only sCate that our citZsns we're swarm

THE STREET RAILWAY.

We understand that the committee to
secure right of way for the electric trolley
line are meeting with fair success. In
going down Church street it strikes us
that it would be the most economical
plan to secure the necessary ground for
widen 'ng the street from the east sle of
the street for these reasons, first the
buildings on that side of the street are
let Lack far enough from the street for
allowing ample room without seriously
Interfering with the yards, while those
on the opposite side are without excep-
ton standing very close to the street,
with very little front yard. Secondly
In coming down Church street, the Bap-
tist church would have to be moved
Mr. Geo. Mays residence would have 10
be moved and the well in Mrs Nc
Neace S yard would have to be fl Id up
and new one dug. This would miie
1t pretty expensive piece of business,
if no opposition to giving right of way
is met with. We do not think the cii-
Zens on the East side should be expected
to give the whole right Of way, which
would benefit their opposite neighbors
as much as themselves. But All equi-
table adjustment might be arrived at in
The matter. We are still of our original
opinion, however, that the best plan,
the one which would De the greatest ad-
vantage to the greatest number, and
convenient to all, would To to lay the
track down Mountain street instead of
Church street, this would give three
streets access 10 the street cars, however,
this is just an idea Of our own and we
do not purpose allowing it to conflict
with the action with council, let them
select any street they please, what we
want is the electric car line. The gem
t'emen at the head of affairs will work
the best and most economical plan, we
have no doubt.

THE STORM IN TENAS.

That was one of the most disas-
trous storms in the history Of this
country which swept over a portion
of Texas last Saturday, leaving death
and disaster in it's path. The loss
Of life was something SHOCKING to
contemplate and the horrors Of the
scene during the raging Of the wind
and food beggars description. The
loss Of lives in the city Of Galveston
alone is estimated to have been any
where between two and three thors-
and. This city was almost entirely
wrecked. The greater portion of the
city was submerged by the meeting
Of the waters Of the gulf on the ono
side and Of the bay on the other.
The water stood in the streets from
three to five feet deep. The most
substantially built houses in the city
were crushed as if an egg shell. There
were more than 1000 houses COM
pletely wrecked and the inmates OF
hundreds of them were sent adrift,
struggling in the mad waves, with
no one to render aid. Their lifelc5s
bodies numbering up in the hundreds
were cast up along the shores as the
waters receded. Many vessels were
driven ashore along the coast and
beat themselves to pieces. The wal cr
works, all cisterns and the electric
light plant are wrecked and ruined.
What remains Of the city is left in
darkness and a water famine seemed
eminent. Relief trains were unable
to reach the city for two or three
days and the suffering Of many was
intense. The dcau bodies arc being
buried as rapidly as possible to avoid
pestilence. In Brookshire town Of
600 inhabitants, it is reported that
only four houses are left standing
Sabine Pass is also reported to have
been completely wrecked. Hun
dreds of dead bodies were seen float
ing in the water. 1t was the most
terrible storm in it's disastrous effects
in the history Of the country, with
the exception Of the great Johnstown
flood in which the loss OF lives reached
the enormous number Of 1000. 7 ho
poor unfortunates are in great need
of assistance and the Suites havo
been asked to raise a fund for this
purpose and the call should receive
u hearty and prompt response.
