lican warhorse got a political jolt at
the o. R. & n. depot this morning,

wiches at the lunch wagon and asked
why it was necessary ITO charge the
prices fixed here, in a county where
wheat and pork are both produced in
large quantities.

cold-lunch merchant, the city coun-
ell has put tariff on lunches and we

town. The only thing we can do is to
put up the price of lunches to get
back the tariff charges. The consum-
er pays all the tariff, you know"

facturer paid it," he muttered. but

Up to last Monday morning,
the Atlantic Corn-packing Com
pany had canned 8 100000 cans
of corn, the output of that day
alone being $4,000 cans. The
farmers of that vicinity receive
5000 per ton for their sweet
corn (snapped), and their land
yields from one and a-half to
four ton per acre. The factory
employs about 600 people, and
the years pack will totalize
1000, 900 cans. With the same

Missouri Valley shouldn't have
