Dr. Martin adjusted the break. The talk of changing ur town government into a city ot the 4th class is again reviving. This ought to engage the attention of every citizen until it materializes into a fact so that we may get out of a sell interest,, pers nal government. Clark Brown says, "it is a lamentable fact, that the County seat of the great county of Franklin, has not a paper of which the citizens of the county can feel proud." Clark always was a modest kind of a fellow. He tan feel assured how-evor that he quite underrates the people. The school marms of Franklin County foel prouder of the Tribune and its witty editor, than they do of any other paper in the County, and that is something to boast of. Fresh bread every day at Zielin-ski's new bakery. Clark Brown is the awfulest brag, on the least provocation, of any person in the coanty. He thinks he is getting new subscribers faster than all the other newspapers in the county combined, to hear him tell it A certain other newspaper, once upon a time, always bad so much job work, that ft had to turn its patrons away. That paper is not turning custom away any more. It must have got tired of so much work, and just naturally quit and shut up shop. Clark will get so many subscribers that he won't be able to supply - them all, the first thing be knows. . Zielinski's new bake oven is in full blast, and turns out first quali ty bread. The" influx of new citizens has had the beneficial effects, in addl tion to other benefits, of filling up our churches at stated service! Presiding elder Emory of the M. E, church, south, preached on Sunday evening, and the house was filled with a very' respectful and attentive, audience. The singing was delightful and the sermon was interest' ing. ; Elegant new Winter Overcoats at Taylor Ileins. - Mrs. Anna Vitt is accumulating material on the ground to build a residence on the south west corner of Church ami Linden streets. A lamp post was put up on the Beeord corner of Church and High Street this week. We will hereafter have light on the subject Miss Bessie Cox, who has been a member of the Beoord household, daring the summer will return to her father in a few days, who has married again and will undertake . The ladies .don't1 need to stew and fret over the bread question now. The can run down to Mrs. Zielinski's bakery at any time and get a fresh loaf of as good bread as can be made. John Rider, claiming to be a veteran of the Mexican war, was in Union on Wednesday, having come all the way from Iowa for evidence to prove a government claim for sore eyes. Mr A Bardot of Grubville called in hurriedly on Wednesday, and gave us the welcome news that Mr. John F. Leulibering has returned to the country again, and is keeping store as usual. A beautiful lot of Overcoats, Men's Boys and Children's Suits just received at J. W. Hein's Tailor Em porium. The contract for the Short's ford Meramoc bridge will be re-let to the lowest bidder on Tuesday November' 8th 1887. See the new condition in the advertisement in another column. Copy them, they will only bo published once in the Record. Tho Record published at Rolla, Mo., is a small, four page, four col- j umn, fonr times for four bits a year j paper, devoted to the interests of the Western Conservatory of Music, by Prof. E. II. Scott, tho Profes- J sor of Music of tho School of Minos, j It is printed on cream book paper. and is altogether a very creamy paper. Mr. Bernard Zick of Pleasant Hill, Mo. was in Union last week, 1 with a view of investing in real cs-1 tate and of going into the banking j business. He was so well pleased , with tfe energy and appearance of: the town and of its future prospets, ' that there would be no surprise if i he should come back again to in- vestigato further. He is a man of, ample means, of good business ca-! pacity, and of great popularity at home, having been Circuit clerk of Cass county one term. He has a large family and a kind of people that Union very much needs along with others that are daily coming in. Mrs. Zielinski keeps all the best kinds of family groceries and sells them at the very lowest prices. Rev. Emory preached on Sun day evening from the text, "Search the Scriptures." It was a "timely topic," or truly a word in season, because there are very few Bible readers in the community. It may almost be said that the disbelievers read it, in their way, more than the christians do. Of course their reading of it is for the purpose of finding inconsistencies and contra dictions, never-the-less they read it, and many of them boldly talk of it, and scoff at it Intelligent christians, who interpret its teaching by the unerring rules of science, never argue with infidels and uni- versalists, and therefore do not read it for controversial purposes, and in their unshaken faith, negloct the Book more than they should. The veiled prophets in St Louis this season made Bible incidents the subjects of their different floats, showing that for spectacular illustration for the modern taste, the Bible can beat any modern or an cient collection in the world, and still proves that the Scriptures af ford mora edification, and , will bear harder and longer study, and yet satisfy the simplest longings, lhan any other book in the worldv ' Ton can get fresh butter at Zie-linskis often when yon can't get it anyp'lace else. The County Court is advertising for sealed bids to be opened in court on the 9th of November, for constructing approaches to Buck-lick highway bridge, across Beouf creek.

Twenty-two new houses have al ready been erected in Union since the boom commenced, not counting three additions to premises, and four more in contemplation, the material being delivered. A bank building is still being talked of, but there is nothing tangible yet in view. A great crowd of bridge builders appeared in Union on Monday, for the purpose of bidding on the contract for the new iron Pratt Truss bridge across the Meramec ut Short's ford, which was to be let on that day. The contract for the abutments was, first offered at public outcry by Col. Tarlton W. Chiles, our wide awake road and bridge commissioner, and the first bid received was from Mr. Gosney, rockman on the St Louis, Kansas City and Colorado new railroad, who offored, to comply with the specifications for 18000, but lower bids followed rapidly until $6700 was reached when suddenly Mr. Nicholas Ran, of Pacific put a stop to the letting by calling out $5000. It was knocked down to him, and if he produces a satisfactory indemnity bond, the contract will be awarded to him. Then' bids- were invited for the bridgo, and started in much tho same way until $3500 was reached by sonio firm in Ohio, when another bomb was thrown in- to eamp by Mr. O. B. Price, of Union, master bridge builder of the new railaoad.'who bid $3200. This fairly raised a sneer of derision from the other would be contractors, and the bidder hurriedly hunted the clerk's office, and seemed to hastily glance over tho specifications, and then left for the depot, whither the commissioner followed him to ascertain what his conduct meant. He then informed Mr. Chiles that he would not take the contract, and intimated to him to givo the job to the next last bidder. It is now intimated that it was a scheme, or collusion, to make a straw bid at that certain point, to arrest further underbidding, in order that the last bidder before him should secure tho contract Indeed, this shemo is charged in regard to the rock work also, but we have faith in Mr. Rau's ability to fill his bond and to do the work. In case he shonld fail to materialize a good bond, the contract will be relet for both the rock work and the bridge. The latter will in any event, be re-let at the next regular term of the Court in November, due publication of the same being made. Licenses to get married wore granted to the following partios dur ing the past week; Oct 14th, Frank Beckman, to Miss Katie Sievers. Oct 15th, Henry flrifen, to Miss Sarah C.

It is as plain as a big nose on a man's face, that the democrats of New York "have nothing hnt praise for the prohibitionists," while in Texas and some other .southern States, they have equally aa emphatic curses and abuse for them. Whenever the prohibitionists take their support W sHcs,n parky &.WurBD JVfckfe"' iCtt" a glorious thing, bat where it endangers demooracy, there it is estimated quite differently. If it were not for the prohibition fanatics the Republican party would soon give the country all tho prohibition it needs; and it would get there much sooner and more surely than it will under its present, trading, balance of power, policy. Transfers of Real Estate. The following transfers of ronl e tale in Franklin County by wurran-teodeed, have bcon inudc a mutter ot record since our lust report:-.

Committee's Report. Judge Robert C. Allen,- the efficient Sheriff of St. Louis county, in company with Jac. Stndt,' Esquire Otto Ahlofeldt, Peter Wetzol and Victor Spiegelberg, the Secretary of the St Louis county Farmer's League, proceeded to Union last Saturday aud attended the parade and meeting of the Union Horse Protective Association. The par-ndo was an imposing sight, when all the members on horso back, preceded by tho Union band, moved through the streets of the county seat Col. Maupin acted as Grand Marshal and in a uallant manner led the horsemen to the beautiful picnic grounds""of Mr. Moutier, where a social h8ur was spent in renewing old acquaintan ces. In the afternoon a "meeting was held, Judge of Probate, Bolte, was elected chairman and V.' Spiegelberg secretary. Judge Allen explained the objcVt of the meeting and it was decided q appoint a committee of three members from Franklin county to confer with a similar committee from St Louis county. The meeting then adjourned to meet again at Union on Saturday November 6th to perfect arrangements. It is our intention to confer with tho authorities of Jefferson and St. Charles counties and also the mounted PoliceV'Torco in St Louis, and to jointly proceed to put a stop to all robberies of stock in the territory immediately surrounding St Louis. The visitors were very hospitably received by Mr. Moutier of the Union Hotel, who is captain of the association. The best, contained in the kitchen and cellar, was quickly produced and served in excellent manner by the fair .daughters of mine host who himsolf pledged his support in many a bumper of old Rhinewincs Last Sunday a revised time table went into effect on our new railroad, and on Thursday the regular morning train wast was discontinued. This leaves us without a daily mail. The evening train comet in at 9 o'clock which is too late to ge't'the days mail. The railroad company are probably not to blame in this matter, as we are informed that their services in carrying the mails have not yot been recognized by this model(?) democratic administration, and they have received no compensation for carrying them n to this time. v ThV wisdom"' of f thesa Amateur statesmen is also now more forcibly seen in their act of recommending the discontinuance of the old overland mail route, and in their persistont refusal to recommond its re-establishment Every Republican in Union and vicinity must hold the democratic party in Union responsible, individually, andcol-loctivel-, for this state of affairs. It is the policy of this government to deliver mail matter to every man's door, as far as possiblo, and every post mastir and every post official who can't imbibe this idee, is not fit to hold office. Every person in Franklin County has as much right to complain in this matter as the people of Union. An illustration is in our hands as wo write this. A letter was mailed in Boles, dated the 14th inst It was delivered in Union on the morning of tho 18th, taking four days in getting to Union, a distance of Lv.s than ten miles. It wanted an ininiodiato answer, which may be rocoivod by tho 25th inst inst Every man in the County is liable to tho same delays becauso every route to tho county scat is cut off except four or five offices out west of Union. If our conveniences arc not restored pretty soon, the democratic party will got itself into tho biggest row it ev er enjoyed, or ever will enjoy horeaftcr, and we will begin to mention tho names of those who are responsible. In plain language, wo want tho Washington and St. Clair mail route re-established. NOTICE! To Tax Payers.
