A little rumpus occurred in and about Tuteur’s cigar store on Saturday evening, growing out of the late political contest, whUh attracted 100 or 200 people as spectators and participants. Revolvers were displayed, a little cuffing was done, and the usual amount of naughty swearing was uttered. All good citizens regret such outbreaks, and no respectable person will say anything to aggravate the trouble. People wlho visit the postoffice or Ludd Hopkins* store since cool weather began have admired the beautiful, new, hard coal stoves with which these rooms are heated. The name of those stoves is “The Radient Home.” Not the least of their attractiveness is their illuminating power, presenting, as they do, a large surface of mica plates. Many consider these stoves, with their late improvements, the finest parlor or business room heaters now in the markets Some half dozen sizes are made. For prices and full particulars, enquire of Norman Warner, agent at Rensselaer. In another column of Tub Union will be found an advertisement of Mr. Louis Kern’s grocery store.

The price of these papers is only ten cents for a dozen, or a nlekel for aix. Coll at the Uniox office and buy.
