Have Paving Done at Union
The paving crew that has been
working out of Union for the past
several weeks, have completed the
paving south to the intersection east
of town, which will be the end of
the paving, at least for this year
Upon the completion of this stretch
of some three and a half miles last
Monday, the paving outfit were able
to begin moving to their new base
at Murray, where they will estab
lish an unloading station for the
supplying of materials used In paving
both south and north from the Mur
ray corner.
As they were proceeding with the
work they left an unpaved stretch
some two miles north of the Union
corner, in order to give a new fill
across the bottom time to settle, and
they will begin out of Murray by
putting in this short stretch, thus
giving a continuous concrete ribbon
on trie nignway, from the corner
east of town more than half way to
the Murray corner. As soon as the
pavement has time to cure thorough
ly it will be thrown open to traffic
and then the cars can go speeding to
and fro, but for the present the high
way is closed practically all the way
to Plattsmouth and will remain so
for some time.
A love theme as tender as the story I Dancers, 75c
of Romeo and Juliet, enacted against
the majestic background of the lit
tle-known American Southwest, with
all the brilliant coloring and beauty
of the country revealed on the screen.
will be shown at the Union Theatre
Saturday, Sept. 7th. It is Richard
Dix's new epic of the American In
dian, "Redskin."
Redskin is the drama of a race
of people, clinging to old traditions
yet seeking to adapt themselves to
the new. It is the struggle of youth
against the caution of age; of youth
seeking release from the chains of
tribal custom. It is the romance of
a boy and a girl or rival tribes, sep
arated by generations of ill-feeling
between their ancestors, who learn
to love and rise above the restrictions
of their environment.
Richard Dix plays the leading role,
with beautiful Gladys Belmont, a
new-ccmer to leading parts, opposite
him. Dix has a dramatic role and
the picture is a perfect vehicle for
him. Hundreds of Indians appear
in the picture and some of them play
small parts. The cast contains many
well known names such as that of
Tully Marshall.
The color effects are marvelously
real and beautiful. The scenic back
grounds are inspiring and the grip
ping drama - is well conceived and
particularly well acted. It is a new
epic ofthe American screen.

FOR PARTITION
James T. Reynolds was born at
aavannan, ..Missouri, on January ;,
1S5!, and when seven years of age
came to Aehraslta to make his home
and lived with the parents southwest
of Union, working on the farm and
attending school until he grew to
manhood's estate. He was very quick
to learn and was able when yet
quite young to embark in teaching
school. After a short time he was
appointed a railway mail clerk, at
which he worked for some five years
later returning to the school teach
ing profession, which he followed for
more than ten years. During this
time he taught a number of terms in
the school of Union.
In 1884 he was united in mar
riage with Mrs. Laura Mason, at
Cooperstown. N. Y., they immediately
coming to Nebraska to reside. Of
this union there were born four boys
and one girl. Miss Ida Reynolds, now
residing with the mother near Union.
One son died many years ago, the
remaining sons being Linus Rey
nolds of Omaha, and William and
Daniel, who are at home.
After having taught school for
fifteen years, Mr. Reynolds went to
farming and has farmed ever since.
He has made a good success of farm-
in, but of late years his health has
been far from being good. He un
derwent a number of operations, and
during the recent months has been
in much better condition.
As the boys were attending the
state fair, Mr. Reynolds went to the
barn to look after the stock. When
he did not return the wife and daugh
ter. Miss Ida, became alarmed at his
Ions absence went to the barn to
look for him and found him lying
in the stall under a horse, which had
trampled and mangled the body very
badly.
It is thought that Mr. Reynolds
miht have had a sinking spell and
fell under the horse, which trampled
him, but it will never be known
whether he was dead when he fell,
or the horse trampled him to death.
The sorrow-stricken wife and daugh
ter got the body out from under the
horse, which was fighting flies and

afternoon of March 4 was inducted
into the presidency.
A retrospect shows that for hiri
it hns been a busy six months. Af
ter the selection of a cabinet and
the reorganization, in part at least,
of all of the ten big governmental
departments, he initiated a number
of new propects and in the carrying
forward of these his work in many
rcpyects has just begun.
This work has kept the president
close to his desk in the executive
offices at the white house. Durine
the summer vhile millions of his
fellow citizens have been frolicking
at seashore or mountain resorts or
traveling abroad, he has confined his
recreation to short week end trips

Transfer of the prohibition en
