Last Saturday' Governor Boies
paroled "Slon.iy" Jordan the noto
rious saloo.)-keeper, of Oitumwa,
Iowa. The condition was that Jor
dan forever give up the saloon
business. He promises to nev"
allow his building to be used again
for a saloon as long as he or his
heirs own it.
The oldest inhabitant of Atchison
rises to remark lhat he has never
seen a spring like the present one
since 1849, when the people were
compelled to keep fires in their
houses all summer to dry tlienioul.
In houses where fires were not
kept up, everything moulded and
was ruined. Excellent crops were
raised. During that year Asiatic
cholera came up the river, and a
great many people died.
The "Odd 1 e"ows' Grand March"
and the "Air Ship Waltz" are two of
the latest compositions of Isaac
Doles, Indianapolis, Ind. Both are
musical gems. They comprise fire

Nebraska's Combined Debt
Census bulletin No. 170, issued by
tlie treneral government lor me
month of April, was received yester
day by Deputy Labor Cemmissioner
Andres. It gives a summary of na
tional, state and local indebtedness
which is to be. a part of a report on
wealth, debt and taxation for the
eleventh census, now in preparation
hy J. K. Upton, special agent. This
report will contain some startling
facts. The average annual decrease
in the material debt during the de
cade exceeds $100,000,(XX). The de
crease per capita of combined na
tional, state and local debt during
the same period was from $00.73 to
$32.37, while other statistics show
that the value of property assessed
for taxation increased meanwhile
from $17,000,000,000 to $25,500,000,000,
or 50 per cent, indicating a reduction
of public debt and an increase of
wealth for the cnuntry unprece
dented at least in modern times.
The summary by states of this
bulletin gives Nebraska a good:
standing, as a comparison of indebt
edness for the years 1S00 and 18S0
shows, considering at the same time
the population of each year.
The total combined indebtedness
including counties, municipalities
and school districts of Nebraska
less the sinking fund of 1890, was
$15,530,720, population, 1,058,010; for
1880, $7,489,974, population, 452,402.
The per capita of the combined
debt in 1890 was $14 G7, and in 1SS0,
$16.50. The state debt of 1890 was
only $253,879, while in 1880 it was
$439,799. Older states make less fa
vorable showing in the matter of de
crease in the per capita debt. For
iustance, the per capita of Iowa's
combined debt in 18G0 was $5.90,
while in 1890 it was only $5.01. While
Iowa's per capita debt is small it
has increased instead of decresed.
A majority of the states have a per
capita debt ranging from above that
ol Nebraska's and very few go lower
This state makes a very good
showing in county and municipal
debt. The county debt in 1890
amounted to $5,510,175, and in 1880 it
was $5.12C62. The municipal debt
in x890 was $7,124,506; in 1880, $1,102,
172. Quite an increase is apparent
in the school district debt, which is
accounted for by the vast number
of magnificient new buildings erect
ed within tne past ten years. J.he
school district debt of 1880 was only
$728,641 as compared with $2,64832
in 1890. Like Nebraska a large
number of surrounding states show
an increase in county and municipal
debt, corresponding to an increase
of population.
