WALDEN AND NORTH PARK. No. :.
We CHALLENGE ANY of our readers
to show wherein the UNION, under its
present management, has interfered
with or criticised in any way unjustly
the men or their methods, who hold
the destiny OF Walden and North
Park in their hands. And yet we
we'll know tina. our plan of running
the paper has not pleased all our
readers. At this, we are not at all
surprised. In fact, we never expect
ed to do SO, and to extend the matter
little We never could have done SO,
even il We lad tried.
II we understand the duty of
newspaper correctly, it is first, to tell
the news i'll readable way, and then
indulge in such criticism and censure
or conmcn.lation of its neighbors
and patrons rs is just and proper, 10
the extent II its inclinations in that
direction. The UNION has tired 10
Ito that, and no more.
As TO our opportunities for getting
news. Everybody in North Park
knows that We cannot 60 into all our
remote settlements every week to
gather up tue items Of interest to our
readers. And henc., We are com
PEELED to depend on the news-writers
OF the different neighborhoods to
send down items for the paper. Some
times We get them and sometimes we
don't. This winter there has been IL
remarkable dearth in that line. In
the absence OF ouch news VIC have
10 flll our paper with something; for
you sec at this time Of the year it
doesn't pay our business men to ad-
vert,sc. You can readily discover
that fact by scanning our columns
There is not one single display ad
IN the UNION thi, week by any bust
ness maa OF Walden or North Park;
md excepting a few professional
cards, scarcely line.
And yet the the UNION has to live.
How does it do it2 Does it not seem
that there is All organized boycott
against this particular business? II
there is, il is not prompted by wise
business methods-that's all.
After all, the situation is just about
as IL has been for the last nine
months. There being no competition
In trade in our town, there has been
no need of advertising, and tho poor,
little nealy-mouthed UNION has had
to suffer the consequence.
Like Socrates Snooks, may Ve in
quire what the result has been? Sim.
ply this: That the cash trade OF
North Park ranchmen has gone to
Laramie, Wyoming-that is outside
OF Larlmcr county, and Colorado, too
in amounts yariously estimated at
from $4,000 to $4,000 every year.
And that, in addition to Whist has
gone to Fort Collins. We appeal to
Walden business men and to North
Park citizens; is II wisdom to so con
duct business here as to force this
large expenditure Of money out OF
our Park, county and state; that when
once gone never does our people any
good It ALP You answer that ques-

their payments, without receiving

A Man of Family Pride who Met with

A Washington man who prides him
self upon his family con nections is just
recovering from an attack OF nervous
prostitution, says the Star. This man
lately became possessed of the Idea Of
constructing family tree, feeling AS
sured he could produce growth that
would dwarf the giants of the Califor-
MIA forests into insignifcance. He be-
gan on one branch of his family, and
soon struck Miles Standish, from whom
he ran various shoots and offshoots,
with many feeling OF pride. With re,
newed interest he went TO work on an
other branch of his growing tree, and
had gone back but four generations
when he was amazed to strike great
grandfather who had died from stran.
gulation brought on by rope en-.
circling his throat, his death occurring
In the presence Of large gathering OF
curious people, who had taken a day OIL
during harvest time in order to see the
hanging. BY this time the man Of fam.
lily pride had become intensely disgust
cd with genealogical Investigations, but
oil that his friends knew of his disap-
pointment was the fact that he re-
manned away from the busy haunts Of
his fellows for several weeks. and the
family physician gave out the informa-
ton that he was the victim of severe
case Of nervous prostration.

"Theater sickness" is the name OF the

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
What Detroit Paper Said OF the
Marquette Prison In
vestigatiOn.

The following editorial comment
on the disclosures of the investiga-
tion OF the Marquette branch OF
state prison is from the Detroit
News-Tribune:
In isolation, no one OF the mat
ters proved against Warden Free
man, of Marquette prison, is per-
haps OF sufficient Importance to war
rant the investigating committees
reporting the necessity of radical
action; but, taken together, viewed
in their entirety, with the object Of
determining the fitness OF the pres
ent incumbent for the position OF
warden, the result is different. A
horse dealer may be good warder'
A hare raiser may be good warden.
A hound breeder may be good
warden. II Is possible that man
VINO occasionally over-indulges in
intoxicants might be good warden.
Leaving out of consideration the
charges of cruelty, which were so
far proved that there will doubtless
be recommendations for the curtail1
ment of punishment by solitary
confinement, at least, it can hardly
be concluded that the ideal warden
for even a second-rate prison is a
horse-dealing, hare-raising hound
breeding man who has. to be treated
for nerve troubles induced by al
coholic excuses. If the committee
gives proper consideration to the
evidence. it will take the broader
view and look to Freeman S fitness
for the position, not as il he were
an incumbent with vested rights,
but an applicant for a place OF
trust.

]. N. Wilkerson Dead .

John Mason Wilkerson, son Of W.
o. Wilkerson, of near Worcester, died
in the Fulton Asylum on the morn
ing of March IL, 1901. He was taken
to the Asylum the last day Of Novem-
Der, 1900; he was in poor health for
some time, but death was not expect
ed so soon. He was belfast only the
last week Of his life. His last days
were comparatively painless and he
died without anxiety or suffering. His
life was a quiet one, as was his death.
He calmly laid down the cares and
troubles of this world for a better and
happier one.
Deceased was born Feb. Goth, 1856,
and had made his home with his aged
father most Of the time until death.
He leaves an aged father, three broth
ers and two sisters to mourn his loss.
But we say unto the bereaved ones:
Weep not, for God knew best; when
He calls us we must all go, and may
we be ready to meet those who are
waiting and watching for us. His
remains were lain to rest quietly in
the Asylum Cemetery at Fulton.
What more can we say than this:
"a precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in u home
Which never can be filed.
"God in his wisdom has recalled
The boon his love hath given;
And, though the body moulders here,
The soul is safe In Heaven
ONE Who LOVED HIM.
