Union, Nebraska
. Union Plays at Julian
With a number of the players
gone and others on the sick list, the
Union team managed to put up a
very good exhibition of the national
game last Sunday at Julian, when all
the ex-ofi'icio and honorary members
were pressed into service, regardless
of whether they had had any practice
this season or not. Attorney C. L.
Graves, manager of the team, was
one of those forced to forsake the
bench for a more active position and
it is reported that he made four home
runs, the last just before dark when
the car in which they were riding
broke down as they were nearing
Union and Charlie ran for home and
made it.
The game was a long drawn out
affair and when the score keeper
went home to supper the wind blew
the book he was using for a tally
sheet into an adjoining corn field and
it could not be found. From the best
account that can be gotten from the
players (and they seem unwilling to
tell the whole story) it seems that
Julian got a basket full of runs, and
Union couldn't put all of theirs in a
barrel.
There will be another game next
week at Dunbar, which is supposed to
wind up the season, although if J.
Frost holds off they may play anoth
er one before ringing down the cur
tain on the 1S20 season.
Accidently Drinks Poison
Word was received here Monday
telling of the accidental drinking of
wood alcohol by Charles Woodward
at his home in Crofton, Nebraska.
Mr. Woodward had been taking med
icine for some ailment and during
the night when endeavoring to get
the bottle of medicine he made a mis
take and got the wood alcohol, a con
siderable amount of which he swal
lowed. For a time it was feared he
would not live, although his condi
tion is more promising now. His
brothers. Wes and William Wood
ward and sister, Mrs. Frank Boggs,
left Monday for Crofton to attend
the bedside of the unfortunate man.
It is hoped by the friends who know
him here that he will recover the ef
fects of his almost disastrous mistake.
Epworth League Gives Picnic
That the barriers might be brok
en and all given opportunity to min
gle at will and become acquainted
with each other, the teachers, as
guests of honor, and the members of
the Epworth League enjoyed a very
pleasant evening at the home of Geo.
Everett one night last week. Tin
big feature of the occasion was a
weiner roast, with popcorn balls and
toasted marshmallows. which went
to make up a very appetising meal.
Met With Mrs. Hansel
The W. C. T. IT. society of Union
met Tuesday of last week witli Mrs.
J. C. Hansel, where they enjoyed an
excellent program, the leader being
Mrs. J. C. Snaveley. The subject was

lightful luncheon that was one of thf
crowning features of the afternoon.

THE SWEETEST VOICE
The famous French writer. Fonte
nelle says that we find no sweeter
voice in all the world that that which
chants our praise. Among remedies
there are a few preparations which
can proudly say that they hear such
sweet voices every day. Triner's
American Elixir of Bitter Wine ha-;
belonged to them for thirty years,
because everybody who takes it must
confess that there is ntr'lietter rem
edy for stomach troubles, poor ap
oetite. constipation, headaches, etc.
On Aug. 7. 1920, Mrs, Katie Serafin
wrote us from Weldona, Colo., that:
"Triner's American Elixir of Bitter
Wine is one of the best medicines I
have ever tried. Not only myself,
but I have four children who simply
cannot stay without it. So please
send it as soon as possible." Your
druggist or dealer in medicines car
ries also other Triner's remedies in
stock for the ailments which are
now in season Triner's Liniment,
and Triner's Cough Sedative as well
as Triner's Antiputrin (an excellent
gargle for throat inflamation ) are
unexcelled. Joseph Triner Company,

From Monday's Dal5y.
Yesterday morning a craft of the
species of "flivver" which was pro
pelled by three young men whose er
ratic actions were dominated by two
strong draughts of "white mule",
steered their craft into the middle of
Main street and being in a semi-conscious
state, drifted about the city
until the tounty attorney, who was
notified, called otficer Jones, who
placed the three under arrest and
housed tlitia in the city "Bastile".

night v.rie both in bid and when
notified, officer Jones got immediate
action and placed the men in safe
keeping. Chief Manspeaker was soon
on the scene as well. One of the
men, Humphrey Lynch, had suliiciout
money to meet the occasion, invested
one hundred and five dollars in
Plattsmouth bonds a5 a guarantee
that he would appear for trial, when
in reality it meant that he would not
appear, but would fcrfeit the bonds.

other one hundred and live dollars,
whiih liberated John Jones and they
departed for .Omaha to secure the
third levy of like amount to satisfy
the dignity of the law in the case of
Frank Ryan, who at this writing is
still waiting for the necessary coin
to give him his liberty. Better fol
low the advice of Ralph Waldo Emer
