instance had attained a. too advanced
stage to perform successful operations
and therefore declined to receive the
sufferers as patients at'the hospital.
Ralph Thompson of Zimmerman is

days be operated upon by DR.. Cooney.

The Union Has No Candidate

Already there are seven or eight
candidates for legislative honors in
this, the 45th, legislative district, and
there are several townships yet to be
heard from. The Union has no
favorites. AS far as we know all
the candidates are honorab ole men.
Only three can be elected. and as the
district is overwhelmingly republican
those three in all probability will be
republicans. Let the voters at the
primary election on the 18th day of
next September decide whom they
desire to represent them in the legis-
lature. The U n o will support the
republican nominees, always provided
they are honorable men. If an I'M
worthy man, viz, one we deem unified
for the position to which he aspires,
should enter the list the Union will
certainly not hesitate to oppose his
candidacy. But all worthy aspirants
shall have fair field as far as this
paper is concerned.

Ate Poison With q Relish.

A colt, three months old, belonging
to Otto Henschel took a fancy to a
package of paris green which had
been placed in the back part of a
wagon on Thursday and ate almost
an ounce of the stuff with apparent
relish. The timely arrival of DR..
Neumann, who administered an anti
dote, saved the colts life. Sufficient
poison had been taken into the colts
system to kill three horses. DR.. Neu-
mann says that at this time of the
year, when paris green is so extern
sively used, an antidote for the poi
son should be kept on hand by every
farmer, as horses and cattle are fond
of the stuff in consequence of it's salty
taste.
