The JOURNAL has noted, time and
again, that the canning companies
are doing good work for themselves
as well ss for the communities where
they have been started. In Nebras-
IA, wherever these institutions have
had anything like fair outset, they
have been richly-psying investments.
At Beatrice the company have put up
this season 475, 900 cans of vegetables, s,
tomatoes, corn, string beans, peas,
squssh and pumpkins. More than
that, every can has been sold, and the
demand greater than the supply.
During September $50 hands were
employed, and the wholesale value of
the canned goods was $4,000. There
is no danger of OVERRIDING this busi-
ness in Nebraska, and Columbus is as
good . point as any in the state for
this branch of industry.

My friend Truman again comes out
in your last issue with more county
records and tries to prove that my
statement Of the uupaid warrants of
$4,000 is untrue, that made a mis-.
statement, etc. Now. let Us see about
this matter. He exhibits q great deal
of ignorance, or else wants to hide the
facts. He says he finds by the pub
lished statement of the county clerk,
January 1st, 1885:
Jan. /, 'S5, The amt Of warrants
outstanding including interest$3S, ,4s6. .63

Then he gives the

linquent ....$ 40,610.3S
Taxes of 'S4, due but
To which he says should be ad.
ded the taxes of 'S5, now due, 5O,OOO.OO
This you see makes $l4l, ,O29. .55, for
which warrants are drawn and un-
paid, for it is impossible to pay before
you have the money. Then there is
unpaid, making a total of $l66,O41 66.
Now, If his figures are correct, then
for the sake of our children, our
wives and our homes, let US call
meeting of the whole people and stop
this overwhelming tide of indebted
edness and destruction. Is it possi-
BILE! l can hardly write these words
from sheer nervousness, in contem.
plating these figures.
My friend goes on and asks me in
all innocence if the county board did
draw on the same levy twice. He is
alarmed at bis own figures and wants
to show come cause for this state of
things. When ignorance is bliss, etc.
He is town clerk; does he think it
possible to draw twice on the same
levy when his warrant must show on
it's face, the amount of the levy and
the amount drawn? Some ono has
been giving him taffy, and now he
wants to divide it with his people.
He has utterly failed to show one re-
deeming quality of town organization,
but has concealed facts and pandered
to the prejudices of the people, and
after he has secured town orgsniza-
ton by the methods employed and
can find consolation therein, he 10
welcome to all the glory.

"A man who wouldn't give his

robe from the back of q horse at
Ernst & Schwarz's store. He was
very obstreperous, and hesitated con-
siderably until the "come-slongs "
were placed upon him, when he
managed to do q little better. He
swore he could whip the policeman,
and finally threatened to kill him.
At Bucher's corner, he made q motion
to draw q weapon, which proved to
be an old, bat q very sharp, razor.
The policeman was no ways mollified
