Boy Sconts Very Active.
The Boy Scout troop of Union is
surely a working body of young
Americans, who are willing to do
their stunt in the making the world
and especially that portion in which
they live, a better and more beautiful
place in which to live. The Missouri
Pacific railway have, along their
system running between Kansas City
and Omaha, some fifteen troops of
Boy Scouts, and in this number the
one at Union is ranking 4th. This
speaks well for the boys here and
also for their scoutmaster, Mr. Clif
ton D. Smith, who is very much inter
ested in them and their work. This
week there was a union troop meeting
between Union and Nebraska City
composed of some six troops, one
from Union, four from Nebraska City
and one from Julian.

Mother's day will be observed at
the Methodist church in Union, and
a special service will be held for

noted, for without the mother and
her sacred infkience the world would
soon come to naught. The Rev. C. L.
Elliott will also preach the bacca
laureate sermon for the graduating
clas3 of the Union high school when
the time comes for it.
A Mind Overly Crowded.
A story is told of one of the prom
inent and very jovial farmers living
near the stirring town of Union, who
was coming to town, and wanted to
be a good neighbor and a good Indian,
stopped ad invited one of his friends
to ride to town with him, and was to
take him home when he returned, but
being engrossed with the weighty
things of this life, when he was ready
to return to his domicile, forgot en
tirely of the existance of his friend
and neighbor and went home whist
ling as is his habit. It never occurred
to him that he had left his neighbor
at town until he went to wind up his
watch preparatory to retiring for the
night. There was some talk about
a suit for "Breach' of Promise" but
that is now blown over.

GOP GAME FROM

Coach Workers Lead Until Fifth In

Trackers' Batting Kally.
From Wednesday's Dally
Last evening after the ceasing of
labor at the Burlington shops a
large party of the enthusiastic base
ball fans wended their way to the
park to witness the clash of the
freight car repair d?partment team
and the coach shop workers, includ
ing all those whose labors are con
nected with the making of the
coaches.
Both teams were confident of vie
too and for three innings there was
an indication that the game was to
be a scereless affair, which was shat

Ralph Hilt, who was the choice of

them over in a real professional

scoreless for four innings until tho
fateful fifth. Harry Shiffer was at
the receiving end of the coach shop
