CANNING CORN.
Austin Canning Company's Plant
in Full Operation.

AuStlH tanning OOmpanyS Plant
in Full Operation.
The works of the Austin Canning
& Preserving Co. are a busy place
these days and visit to the plant is
very interesting. 1t is one of our
important industries and while busy
on corn only, at present, will in few
days take hold of tomatoes and other
garden truck.
The plant in which $25, 900 of CAPT.
tol is involved is located on the east
side of the Cedar river near the Bridge
street bridge. It is operated by a
stock company, Of which D. B. Smith
is president, H. A. Avery secretary,
G. II. Davidson treasurer and e. G.
Dorr manager.
The works were started up for the
present seasons business Aug. 18 and
are now engaged upon the corn crop,
which will last until about the 10th
of September. The corn this year is
abundant and of a very fine quality,
the varieties being Early Crosby.
Evergreen and Moore's Early Concord.
The works consume about twenty-five
tons OF corn each day, turning out
about 10000 No. or quart cans. The
corn is picked from the stalks and
delivered at the mill at IS per ton,
the average yield being three and a
half tons or $18 per acre, but many
acres Of we'll tended corn yield four
tons, equal to $40. The corn is
brought to the factory in large wagon
loads, weighed and then dumped at
the husking sheds, where about forty
hands are engaged removing the
husks, placing the corn in bushel
baskets, the price of this work being
three cents per bushel. The husking
is mostly done by women and boys
and men unable to do heavy work and
the averaged daily earnings is 81.
The husks and other refuse are given
to anyone who will carry them away
and many farmers load back with the
husks, and besides the Is per ton for
the corn the grower retains all the
stalks and leaves for fodder, which,
being secured green, makes excellent
feed, especially for the dairy.
As fast as the husks are removed
the corn is carried from the husking
shed to two Sprague cutters, which
require the work Of three persons at
each machine. The corn is fed into q
small trough and carried rapidly
through the cutters, the corn drop
ping into receptacles, while the cobs
are spouted out Of the building. From
the cutters the corn goes to a Merrill

A MURoERER's 100000 BAG.

He Attributed His Crime to It and Pined
Away and Died When He Lost It.
A case out Of the ordinary, by reason
Of the superstitious element in it, has
been closed recently by the death of the
principal character in the p~enitentiary
at Frankfort, where he had begun 70
serve alife sentence for murder. A year
or more ago a negro named Andrew
Bell killed another negro with so little
provocation that he was convicted and
rent to the penitentiary for life. On the
trial Bells defense was that he was not
accountable, as he was under the infu-
ence Of a ''hoodoo bag" This bag he
had bought from a doctor" as a charm
for good. After it came into his posses
sion, he said, his disposition changed,
and his mind was filled with murderous
thoughts at all times. finally culminat-
ing in the murder of a negro against
whom he had no previous i'll will. As
stated, he was convicted, but an appeal
was granted on the strength of his
claims for the part the hoodoo bag had
taken in the crime.
All this time Bell had chung tena-
ciously to the bag, in no case per-
uniting himself to be parted from it,
and it was with him in the penitentiary.
His attorneys went there for it. Bell
begged them not to take it from him,
because he would die if they did. They
told him it was necessary that the bag
should be sent with the papers in the
case to the clerk of the court of appeals
If he hoped to win his case on appeal.
Finally he consented to give it up, and
the hoodoo bag was turned over to the
clerk. Bell at that time was in excel.
lent health and had always been o bur-
ly man. As soon as the bag was gone
he began to pine away, and he died
within ten days.
The hoodoo bag is still in the hands
Of the clerk, but nobody wants to handle
it except with tongs, and a negro can
not be persuaded to go near it. It is a
little red bag and is said to contain
such grewsome and shivery and weird
and uncanny things as hair from a
graveyard rabbit, hair from q cat that
died in a fit, wool from a dead negro's
head mingled with strange herbs gath.

BIG money In Small Business by Eco
nomical Italians.
Few OF the thoughtless passersby and
chance patrons Of the corner fruit stands
IN the city streets realize the compare.
lively large profits reaped by those who
have their capital invested in this ap-
parently insignificant business. To the
average onlooker as he casts q careless
glance at the vender of fruit and candy
probably the only thought that occurs
10 that here is q poor unfortunate for
eigner cast O our shores, who manages
by this simple means to exc out a liv.
ing for himself and a large family Of
small children. Indeed q closer inspec.
ton into the comfortless lives Of these
seekers for gain, involving long hours
spent in continued application to work,
the short remaining time passed in
squalid homes or on the streets, would
reveal little Of the true state of affairs.
There is a vast difference in the indi-
cations from outward appearances.
Some Of them carry al air Of prosperity
in neatness of dress and carelessness Of
air. Others seem to wish to advertise
their poverty by a show of tattered gar
ments and generally destitute appear
ence. But in general those appearances
are deceitful. The man in rags may or
dinarily be regarded IS more fortunate
than his apparently prosperous brother.
He is making more because it is no 50
much what is made in profits as what is
saved, and in a small business, like that
OF the corner fruit dealers, this general
principle Is especially true.
The amount Of the gains possible to
the astute dealers is seen from O few ex-
amples Of unusual prosperity. A short
time ago Ill Italian who had been in
the business Oh a down town corner for
ten years closed out his business to n
successor, receiving from him So, 200 for
the privilege Of his location. This
amount he added to a fortune of $780,
600 already accumulated. In the stock
yards region q similar sale was made in
consideration of $3.50. In the same
neighborhood the death recently Of o
veteran in the business revealed the fact
that he had been possessed of property
amounting to 81, 600. Some Of u
largest business blocks, .notably on State
and Halsted streets, arc now owned by
those who started il business in this
way.-Chicago Journal.

HAS DURRANT cONFEssED7
Barnes Refuses to Talk About tn
Supposed Letter In Dickin-
sons Possession

Has Theodore Durrant made a con-
fession2 Ii so, is it one duplicating some
other party or parties, or an unqual fled
acknowledgment that he alone COM
mitted the Emmanuel Church murdersP
Ever since the preliminary examination
of the accused there has been a general
belief that he has confided to the keeping
of his attorneys a statement of his knowl-
edge of the two murders, which have come
to be known as the ''Crime of a Cent urY. 4"
Just how or why this impression e aimed
such hold on the public mind is one of
those things which cannot now and prob
ably never will be explained but it exists
just the same, and it received a shaking
up in the cross-examination of Durrrant
by Mr.. Barnes yesterday.
The District Attorney asked the young
medical student if he had not made a
statement of mis- connection with the muir

same in an envelope. placed it in charge of
