Have Excitinsr Experience.
A very' exciting experience came
to a number of Union people last
Pnndnv when Flovd Saxton and Geo.
Saxton and wife and the their
mother. Mrs. Geo. W. S. Saxton, Sr
wprp visit ine in Murray, and as they
wore pasing along the Btreet a car
driven by two of the young men ot
that city, came scooting out lroni a
side street, striking the car in which
the Union people were riding and
tTirniner their car completely around
and at the same time overturning
the car driven by the Murray people,
jind rolline it into a ditcii at the side
of the street. No one was seriously
injured tho they were all quite
severely snaKen up.
Harvey Miller Answers Call
The familiar figure of Harvey J.
Miller, which has been an inspiration
to his many friends in and about
Union for so many years, will be miss
ed with his departure, answering the
call of the death Angel. Mr. Miller
came to Union and vicinity many
years since and by his friendly ways
and square dealing has endeared him
self to all who were fortunate in
knowing this excellent man. Mr. Mil
ler was never a man td complain, was
always cheery when about his busi
ness whether the things were going
right or not. His death came on last
Thursday and the funeral services
were held and the interment made on
last Sunday.
Much Toll Is Taken.
The main street of Union has seen
much taking of toll of human life
and injury to many by the force of
the conditions which prevail. Coming
over the top of the hill at the east
edge of the city, a driver not accus
tomed to the road, is immediately
precipitated onto a very steep de
cline, and unless immediately he shall
have control of his car the machine
is, by the natural impulse going down
the hill at a high rate of speed and
when the tendency of the driver is
to speed, as is too often the case, the
car speeds down main street whether
it is filled with people or not. The
raiiroad crossing at the foot of the
street and the children going to and
from school add to the dangers. No
matter who should do it, city state
of federal government, some one
should put some warning signs at
the top of the hill and even beyond
the hill. Such signs as "Slow School,"
"Slow Dangerous Hill and also
"Dangerous Railroad Crossing" should
have some effect. Of course we know
End all know that people should keep
within the law and drive according
ly, but there are innocent people who
arc made to suffer, and while the vio
lators of the law, probably have it
coming to them, something should be
done to protect the innocents, and
while we may shrug our shoulders
and say, "Am I my brother's keeper?"
will it in any way relieve us of the
responsibility which rests upon us?
Wind Returns

Had Carried Off
Gale rrom the South Restores to Min
nesota That Which a Week Ago
Was Carried into Iowa.
St. Paul. Minn., May 4. Tons of
finely meshed soil which overcast the
pout hern half of Minnesota in a heavy
black cloud, tonight began settling. A
Ftrrng s-outh and southwest wind
U'oving thru the Fouis-rn and cen
tra! portion of the stale, often with
the force of a miniature gale, almost
completely reversed the direction of
the stcrm a week ago, which was
largely caused by a northwest wind.
Today's storm was reported as
causing damage to grain fields, with
seeds hurled front tho fields with the
dirt and swung into the clouds above.
At Ellsworth, Minn., where the
damage was reported heaviest, farm
ers on highlands estimated that near
ly an inch of surface soil from the
newly cultivated fields had been re
moved. Lowland plantings were injured
because of the pile of sifted soil
which covered the planted surface
of the ground with a coating up to
six and seven inches in thickness.
Housewives in cities, towns and
country, however, were the most acute
sufferers generally The minute par
ticles of dust worked thru window
cases and the crevices of closed doors.
The warm southwest wind at Lai
verne. in the extreme southwest por
tion of the state, forced the mercury
up to 90 degrees. At Albert Lea a
morning temperature of 40 degrees
swiftly ascended to SO before night
fall. Altho much soil in southern
Minnesota was stirred into the fight
northward it was reported as noth
ing compared with the weight of the
cloud blowing in from Iowa all along
the southern border of Minnesota.
Farmers laughingly "welcomed
back" soil which blew southward and
which Des Moines ten days ago re
ported as having covered the Hawk-
eye state with a light film.
Albert Lea, Fairmont, Blue Earth,
Luverne Austin, to the southward,
Pipestone to the north, Madison at
the extreme west, and eastward al
most to Winona, marked the dimen
sions of the storm area.

'Herds numbering 28,679 and cat
tle to the number of 361,706 were
tuberculin tested in Nebraska dur
ing the year 1925, according to a re
port issued by the bureau of anical
industry, department of agriculture.
Under the former state administra
tion in 1924, the number of herds
tested was 13,073 and the number
of cattle 163,215.
Dr. Clark II. Hays, chief of the
Nebraska bureau, in his report for
the past calendar year says the work
of tuberculosis eradication has ex
panded and succeeded during the
year 1925 to a degree that gives en
couragement to the cooperating state
and federal agencies charged with
the responsibility of its direction. The
work accomplished has been made pos
sible by the helpfulness of a long list
of educational, business and civic or
ganizations and individuals within the
state who are interested in the wel
fare of the livestock industry.
The report says: j
"The close of 1925 found not only
twenty counties actually engaged in
the work, but a large number of other
counties diligently occupied in circu-,
lating petitions, seeking the service of
the state and federal government for
the elimination of bovine tuberculosis
from their herds. More than 30 per
cent of the counties of the state were
planning in a tangible way for area
tubercoulosis eradication work. In
this, as in many other worthwhile
things, Nebraska refuses to be a trail-'
er, but insists upon a position ofj
leadership" i
County Area Eradication. j
During the period covered by this
report, twenty counties were declared
by the Nebzraska department of
agriculture areas for examination, in-:
spection and testing of cattle for tu
berculosis and for maintaining same
as accredited or area-tested counties.
Of this number, the work was com
pleted in five to a degree that they
could be certified modified accredited
areas.
Counties declared areas:
Burt, April 20, 1925.
Butler, April 20. 1925.
Cass, April 20, 1925.

TROUBLES OF A TABLOID
Los Angeles, May 3. Appointment
of a receiver for the Illustrated Daily
News, tabloid newspaper here, was
asked in the United States district
court today by Vanderbilt Newspap
ers, inc., holding company for three
tabloids established in Los Angeles,
San Francisco and . Miami by Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, jr. The petition
listed the assets of the newspaper
at $1,043,000 and its liabilities at
$1,000,000. Among the debts are the
May 1 payroll of 18,000, which the
petition stated could not be met.
The staff of the paper, in a meet
ing with the executives, said they
would take the organization over
for the final issue on the "dying
hope" that some possible turn of
affairs over night would permit the
continuation of publication. It was
explained, however, that there is
an unpaid payroll of $11,000, which
will be met out of the existing ad
vertising accounts.
