YANKEETowN

Yankeetown, Mar. 20, 1S9O.-The
farmers are all busy sowing oats, and
many Of them are using the drill, APP
plying phosphates, gradually work
ing intoan improved method of farm-
ing. At
In my last | promised to say more
about the canning business. $1,000
would start the business in a small
way, for most any common, rough
structure would answer for a build>
ing.
A boiler with one kettle would pre-
pare enough tomatoes, etc., to fill
daily over 5000 cans, or three times
this number of peaches or apples.
The cost of a boiler of ~ horse
power is 1920, kettle, $l7 to $26. This
will do Tor tomatoes, peaches, apples
and all kinds of berries.
If corn or peas are to be canned,
this will involve an additional eX-
pense of $215 for a patent process
kettle. Then the other tools would
be open kettles and crates extra, Sc to
IS, exhaust box SIT, crane to hoist
crates out of the kettle, $l3, air
pump, Sc, oil tank, IS to S25, freepots
IS to $40, Debow Gaping tools, 50
each. Two of sthese will be nee.
essary for each man, but one 'capper''
is sufficient in a small cannery like
this.
The price of cans, for two pound
about $l.78 per 100, for three pound
cans, $2.45 to $500 per 100.
The cases to hold these cans cost
for two pound cans, 7 cents each, ;
pound cans, 8 cents each.
A house 2jX40 would be of suficien'
size.
Now the above items of expense
would start a cannery large enough
to commence the business, and
small capital left from the $1,000 t.
carry it on. The hope that some o
your many readers may become in
terested in an enterprise of this char
acter, has induced me to look int
this matter, and it seems to me thi
country affords ample inducement
for the successful carrying on of thi
particular business. OCCASIONAL.

Everything is quiet on the river this

is worth reporting. The two cold
snaps we have had since the month
of March came in have caused con-
siderable damage, though it is inns
possible to tell how much now. Some
farmers think wheat is entirely ruin
ed, while others think a large part of
it is not seriously damaged. / be-
lieve it is generally conceded by all
that the peaches, plums and some of
the other small fruits are ''nipped in
the bud" Garden vegetables are
nearly all spoiled where they had
been planted and come up. Many
of the farmers also had sown oats and
all say they are killed.

Collect Your Money--Board of Equsli-
cation.

Warren county is out of debt; those
who have warrants, school or county,
will please 20 at once to the Trustee
and get them cashed, so that the
acknowledgements of the county will
know how to levy the tax for the
year 1890. The April term of the
County court has some other very
important business to attend to. The
Board of Equalization will be elected
upon that day. They should be men
of good judgment and as well distrib-
uted over the county as possible, TO
give the people justice.
Regarding the Board of Equaliza-
ton, and their duties, | would re-
specially call the attention of all in
terested to the following sections of
the Assessment law passed by the
last General Assembly, the same
being now in force:
SEC. ~. BE attTther enacted, That
the Judge or Chairmaniof the Cuun-
ty Court and four freeholderS, not
members of the County Court, nor
holding any other Office, county,
State, Or Federal, who shall be elect
ed by the Quarterly Court of each
county, at its April term each year,
shall constitute a Board of E1ualiza-
ton to examine said assessment lists
as returned by the Assessor to the
County Court Clerk.
Sec. 43. BE Hftwther enacted, That
in counties having a population of
10000 inhabitants according to the
Federal Census of 1880, said Board Of
Equalization shall meet on the first
Monday and sit till the third Mon.
day in June; in counties Of less than
10000 population, according to the
Federal Cencus of 1880, shall meet on
second Monday in June and sit till
the third Monday in June, and care
fully examine and compare, and
equalize said assessments, and shall
eliminate from the lists thereof all
property exempt under this Act, and
they are hereby empowered to hear
and adjust complaints from any party
feeling aggrieved on account of eX-
cessive assessments, when, in their
judgment, justice demands it, and to
correct any and all errors arising from
clerical mistakes or otherwise, and
the corrections made, if any, shall he
entered upon the assessment books,
without in any way altering the as
sessment lists, and If the value Of any
tax payers property shall be raised
by said Board of Equalization, notice
shall be given to such tax payer, his
agent or his attorney, if practicable
and shall be served by the Sheriff or
Constable, if to be found, for which
he shall receive twenty-five cents, to
be paid by the county, and such tax
payer may bring proof and show
cause, if any he has, why said in
creased valuation of said property
shall rot stand, at a second meeting
of said Board, which shall be held
from the fourth Monday in June till
the first Monday in July, and if the
decision Of said Board at its said Sec
ond session shall be adverse to said
tax payer, he may appeal to the July
term of the County Court, and the ac-
ton of said Court shall be final.

Cleaned Out.

A dispatch from Wyoming says: A
prospector just back TO Cheyenne, says
that reign of terror was terminated by
the shooting of several men and the hang
ing Of eleven. A lawless band, led by
desperate called Kettle Jack, was the
cause of the trouble, and punishment was
meted out to the cutthroat gang. Jack
and four partners appeared in the basin
eighteen months ago, equipped for pros
pecting, but they never moved rock
nor turned sbovelful of earth. The fell
lows had reached an earthly paradise and
lived in luxurious case hunting and fish
ing. Being re-enforced by kindred
spirits, they established a veritable noun
tain castle, building a fine log house in =
deep valley, with block fort at the head
of tine entrance leading to the rendezvous.
The settlers only quietly grumbled when
the intruders commenced slaughtering
beef, but objected when the horse steal
ing commenced. A squad of desperadoes
would drive off stock from the range and
dare the owners to interfere. Frequently
there were fights in which the settlers
were always worsted. An old man and
his two grown sons attempted to retake
their bunch OF horses, but were cruelty
manned, killed and left with q brutal
note of warning on each breast. The
gang came to own the basin, which is
hundred miles long by sixty wide, and
contains 1000 people.

Christmas Tree.

The DALLEs, Dec. 80, 1859.
Editor TMEs-MorNTANEER:
How pleasant life is swhen we not only
try to make it endurable but pleasant for
each other, as had happy illustration
yesterday. through an invitation to attend a
sacred concert and Christmas tree by the
Gesang Verein IN the K. of P. hall, where
the members and their families gathered to
commemorate the day.
The exercises were opened by President
Chas. Schmidt introducing Theo. Printz,
who delivered an address Of welcome, fol-
lowed by the president presenting beau
tiful gold headed cane to their instructor,
Maj. A. Bettingen, in neat speech, who re-
sponded with some feeling and much sur
prise at their testimonial. Then followed
songs by the class, which showed marked
improvement for the short time they have
been organized, interspersed with refresh
ments. Then came the chiIdren's time, as
they gathered around fine well-loaded tree
in the center of the hall and received their
presents with the bright smiles and CHEEKY
laughter to make an old batchelor envious.
One of the jems of the occasion was an
address Of welcome by little Annie Stubling,
in clear voice and excellent German.

MURDERED AT THE STAKE.

negroes lynched at BarnHell, was held
Saturday night at the scene of the
tragedy.
1t was u terrible sight the jurymen
looked upon. On the left side of the
road were the bodies of Ripley johnson
and Mitchell Adams, charged with the
murder of Hefferman, and on the opposite
side were the bodies of six negroes,
charged with the murder OF young Rob-
ert Martin. They were tied to trees on
the roadside, their backs to the saplings.
A rope was passed around the trees and
the bodies of the men. When shot, the
weight of their bodies had swung them
down on tine ropes, and thty occupied all
sorts OF grotesque and revolving positions.

lively at a license law as at prohibitory stat.
utes-and apparently that is the case-then
practically the whole country win be affected
by 1t, and general interest will be aroused to
find remedy. Doubtless Congress has it
within its power to provide one. 1t is ex-
pressly authorized by the Constitution to
regulate Interstate commerce, and it is prob
ably competent for it to enact as, condition
OF Importation from one State to another,
that the article shall be imported subject to
the laws of the State. Such law would
cure the difficulty resulting from the Su-
preme Courts decision. And with public
sentiment aroused, as it must be all over the
country to the evil consequence that must
inevitably follow this decision If allowed to
operate for any considerable length of time,
1t ought to be very easy to pass such law,
assuming that such measure will stand the
test Of constitutionality and furnish an ade-
quate remedy, and it probably will be. That
the state of things which will naturally flow
from the courts decision will be allowed to
continue for any length of time is hardly
possible. If the remedy suggested above is
not adopted some other one will be. The
people will never consent to such reign Of
free rum as this decision renders possible.
