Former Union Man Now Rich The state papers tell of a former merchant of Union, John Nichlos, who was engaged in the retail busi ness in the other days of Union, but who has been away for the past more than a score of years, and who has tried his fortunes here and there, be ing in business for a time in Omaha w litre he succeeded and after accu mulating some money went to Okla homa and there invested in oil, only to go beyond his depth, and was all but broke after a year. Still with the determination to win and a bull dog grip, he held on and the state papers tell of his selling a portion of his holdings a few days since and real izing some $4,000,000. This did not come by chance but by the persistent keeping after the elusive dollar and sixteen and two-thirds cents, that in the end brought success. What one can do another also has an opportun ity to do. Now let us see who will be the next Union merchant to tie this former merchant in a like sue cess. Was a Near Burglary. On last Sunday while Sam Pugh was asleep in his home in the north portion of Union he was disturbed in his sleep by a noise on the lower stnira and arising carefully and be ing in his stocking feet, tripped lightly down the stairs, to find a strange man ransacking the bureau drawers. The man was a stranger, and as Mrs. Pugh was away, and he not hearing anything when he entered the house evidently thought he was going to have pretty soft picking, lie however, was mistaken, for when con fronted by the man of the house and was able to defend his castle and home, he was for getting away and putting up a pitiful tale of hard luck and wanting to get something to eat with, he was able to beg off from the good natured Sam Pugh. Miss Meade Arrives. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Lannie Meade was made happy by the ar rival of a very fine young lady, a tlaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Meade who came to their home on last Sunday morning. The little miss was intro duced by Dr. J. F. Brendel and as all are getting along nicely, all is hap piness. Will Hold Chatauqna Arrangements have been perfected for the holding of a Chautaqua at Union on August 6th, 7th. Sth and 9th, which will provide good pro grams and entertainment for the peo ple of this community as well as it is hoped will draw from other portions of the county. The matter of making a success of this enterprise is one which should be of interest to every body, and we know that there are enough people in Union interested In the city and its success in every way to make it a success. The committees are out and hustling for the success of the Chautauqua. Do not forget to do your part and the matter will go over with a whoop. The Old Settlers Reunion. This the over the fortieth annual meeting of the pioneers and old set ters cf Cass and adjoining counties, which is to meet late in August is being pushed by the various commit tees. Ira Clarke who is the chairman of the publicity committee is bend ing every effort to place the matter of the gathering this summer before every one who would in any way be interested. This is an institution v.hich for over forty years has afforded the peo ple of Union, Cass county, and Otoe county, to gather together and enjoy a reunion with their former friends and relatives. We are certain that the committees will make the gath ering a success this year. Many Enjoy the Ak-Sar-Ben Many of the citizens of Union were enjoying the Cass county day at the Ak-Sar-Ben den in Omaha on last Monday night. The evening was spec ially set apart for Cass and Otoe counties, and many were there to en joy the very fine show which was provided. Not alone was the play which has pleased thousands and which was specially cast for rendi tion by the troup who compose the entertainers at the den, but other stunts which enlivened the occasion were sure in evidence. Among those who attended were Frank Bauer, El mer Withrow, Pat Roddy, Ben and Justin Anderson, Charles E. Mc Carthy, Hallas Banning, Messers and Mesdames P. F. Rhin, L. G. Todd, W. B. Banning and also Lucean Ban- turn emit ning, Stacy Niday, Mrs. Mabel Rey nolds, the Smith family, Mont Robb and daughter, Miss Agusta. Play Excellent Game of Ball On last Sunday at the Union ball park which by the way Is in the country, was had a very fine demon stration of the national game, when Union and Nehawka crossed bats, and notwithstanding the very warm day. was well attended by the ball fans. The result of the game was a victory for the home team by a score of 12 to 9. The personnel of the boys who led Union to victory Is Charles Er- wiri, II. W. Griffin, Hathaway, Meade, Leo Roddy, Dewey True, Rob ert Eaton, Pat Roddy Wilber Eaton and Charles Everett. MAY PLACE CAUTION SIGNS Despite the demands of traffic the physical welfare of residents of Ne braska villages which state and fed eral highways traverse, must be con sidered. Attorney General Sorensen ruled Tuesday, advising village au thorities at Waverley that caution signs could be placed in the center of highway No. 3S. Tho his ruling is adverse to that of the department of public works which ordered signs removed in one or two instances, it is supported, Sorensen asserted, by legislative en actment that gives cities and towns full right to regulate traffic even tho it may be on an arterial highway. State Senator Warner of Waver ly, made a personal appeal Tuesday to the attorney general's office and the ruling was the result. Traffic thru his town, Warner said, imperils the welfare of school children who must cross highway No. 3 8 to reach their building. "It must be reason ably necessary," Sorensen held in the Waverley case, "that precaution should be taken for the protection of life and limb before signs can be erected." ANNOUNCES MARRIAGE Rev. and Mrs. D. W. Parker of Lincoln are announcing the engage ment and forthcoming marriage o! their daughter, Marcia Lou, to J. Howard Davi3 of this city.

Terrified, and cry ing out in pain, he ran to the home of a neighbor who endeavored to beat out the flame with his hands. As a result, the fire was communicated to her clothing and to her house; sbe was burned, her home was damaged and the mechanic was terribly scar red. Incidentally, two automobiles were also destroyed. When clothing catches fire, accord ing to literature by The National Board of Fire Underwriters, one should get down on the ground or the floor and roll, in an attempt to smother the flames. If possible wrap a rug or other woolen material around the body, starting at the neck, to avoid inhaling the flame. When one remains standing he soon be comes a living torch, as the flames spread quickest in this position. Run ing is still worse, as that fans the fire to greater intensity. The( National Board's literature ia widely distributed in an effort to re duce the suffering and losses from fire. Approximately 6.000 people die annually as a result of fires in homes, 31 per cent of the victims being wom en and children. Fire occurs in an American home every two minues in the year, on the average. No fur ther Incentive should be necessary to urge the American people to protect their homes and families from the ravages of fire. WILL RETURN FROM HOSPITAL Arnold Mast, who has been at the hospital at Omaha, for the past ten days recovering from the wound sus tained when he was shot by Theorn Murray, his nephew, is to return from the hospital Thursday or Fri day and will recuperate from the ef fects of the injuries at the farm home southwest of the town of Murray. Mr. Mast will suffer permanent in jury as the result of the wound, it is thought. It is reported that Gen. Jadwin, recently nominated by Mr. Hoover for the chairmanship of the newly created Federal Power Commission, will not accept the Job. Neither the White House nor Jadwin has confirm ed the report. pchi&uillL
