stole anything. A. to the whiskey
selling, he admits keeping it i'm the
house, using it a. q remedy for con
sumption, and admits that at two diff
ferent times last winter he sold small
quantity, for accommodation, to mel
who claimed to want it for medicine,
and it was those sales to which he
pleaded guilty. He stoutly insists

Capt. q. A. NichOletts, agent of the
Census bureau, assisted by Miss Sadie
Reimert has been at work all week on
the records looking up the farm mort
gage Indebtedness. AS We understand
il he il to make note of every real
estate mortgage placed on record from
1850 to 1890, with the number Of acres
mOrtgaged, the amount and the rate.
From 1sSlt0 lssa he mates the releases
also, hut from III 10 10 he takes only
the mortgages. We confess we cannot
see the logic of this plan. 1t seems to
u 1t ought 10 be reversed. the releases
noted the last half and not the first
half of the decade, for il Is fair to pre-
sumo that all mortgages made i'm 1sSO
were released by 1885. But i'm any
event we do not see how the work the
Captain is doing can be Of any value
whatever in showing the Indebtedness
of the country, for the reason that
partial payments are not entered on
the records. 1t may be, though, that
the Census bureau knows what it is
doing.
