Tiikkk has boon one tiling demon strated in this county, and that is, that sugar boots can bo raised, no mat tor ,how dry the soasons are. Ho.f. Jab.

There ia not the lonst doubt of republican suc cess this fall. Tun Cim.r uan boo tho hand writing on tho wall. Republican supremacy means prosperity. What a beautiful wpectacle! The govornor of tho state of Nebraska con niving with Romnvuter and two or linen other poltroons to overthrow tln I.iuh of tho state, and deciding their connti tutionulitv buroro they have been sub mitted to a court of proper jurisdiction. This, Gov. llolcomb has dono in tho cane of tho Omaha police commiHion. Tho mattor )h uow in court, however, and thoro is no doubt but what the law of last winter will bo uphold by the eu promo court. It is difficult in tho rush of newspaper and ministerial work to alwaju seloct the best word, pbrnno or eontenco. A newspaper declared a gentleman in Chicago "was shot in the tunnel." Just what purt of his uuatomy this was is difficult to say. A public sneaker said that it was eo warm at Daltimoro that tho gentlemen on tho nrocrain "snoko in their shirt sleeves." A reporter sor iously declared that a lady "killod a rat with two logs," having squeezed it to doath between her Itnaos. Our lan guage is capablo of wondortul construc tion. Now that election is drawing noar, and the ropublicnn convention has boon called, Tiik Cm eh can eeo no improprie ty In Baying that tho present county of; tlcials ought to bo renominated for their respective offices. Thoy have been faithful to their duties uud, as such, tho party owes to them a ronomination if they desire it. J. S. Whito is a cundl dato for ronomination for treasurer; C 13. Crone, clerk of tho district court, is u candidate for renomination for that o lice, L. II. Fort is desirous of being re nominated by tho republicans for clerk of tho county, J. W. Runchoy is a cundi dato for renomination for shoriir, D. M. Hunter would not object to being ronom jnateil for tho offico of county superin tendent. Inasmuch as they havo been faithful to their party wo can not seo why thoy should not bo renominated. There aro Borun othor candidates how- over for tho other offices, viz: S.

Tho tramps from tho Atlantio to tho Paoiflo were educated to depend upon Economy at all timep. "When I took hold I found it neces sary to shut down on almost tho whole business. As a result I incurred tho ill-will of all tlo churches, hospitals, sooiotics and individuals whom ho had helped out of troublo or difficulties. Jt 6eom8 there was no use trying to get those peoplo to understand that wo wero in difficulties ourselves, that wo could not give bountifully to charity and pay our dobts beside. "I may say that wo havo oven yet not shut down altogether. Wo give whonevcr and whatever wo can, but not so indiscriminately as formerly. But I must say it has been rather hurd to know that the churolics aud peoplo wo havo holped havo been the harshest t us." "Would you havo any objection to stating whether tho Harmony Sooiety was oyer wealthy?" -To my mind it is doubtful if there was a timo ia tho whole history of tho organization when its holdings could havo been sola for over a million dollars more than its indebtedness." "How was it that a man of suoh pure charaotor as that of Mr. Uenrici could allow matters to get into suoh shape and still go along as ho did?" Becauso Mr. Henrici's business taot and knowlcdgo wero not nearly equal to his child-liko faith and implicit trust in tho Lord. Many a timo when I talked to him of tho society's affairs; whon I questioned the advisability ot our continuing with tho volcano be neath us ready to burst forth at any time, ho fouad refuge in silence, or not knowing how to act himself would smile pleasantly, and say: 'Never mind, John, the Lord will fix it." "I have firm faith in the Lord whu rules all things, but I 'could a talo unfold' in relation to tho experience of nt least ono humblo instrument which tho Lord brought into uso in fixing' it." What part of tho work gave you tho most concern?" "Unqucstiooubly our bank, Tho Economites Savings Institution wor ried mo morn that auvthing else. It was thu hardest work imaginable to keep it open day by day. Why, be lieve mo, it wus often without more thau $2,000 in cash on its counters when it opened up for tho business of tho day. To secure tho ncocBiary funds to keep it going was the hardest work and tho greatest worry 1 had to contend with. For nearly three years that bank was almost entirely out of cash. You can imagino tba gravity of tho situation whon I tall you that at that very timo the institution had no less than 3,500 to 4,000 depositors who had over a million dollars depos ited therein, any or all of whom might at any moment demand their money. It may interest you to know that at that very timo the Stato had $1G3,000 an deposit in tho bank. T prevent its failuro and maintain the good name of the socioty from blemish was my greatest aaxioty. "Hew did you manago to keep it or its foot?" "By idling off proporty here and tharo as the money was needed. My efforts in this direction woro ably seoonded by Mr. J. Twing Brooks, Mr. John Kcevos, our agent at Boavor l'alls, who was also our cashier at tho bank; Hon. Henry Hloe, of Beaver, and Mr. James Diokson, of this oity. my expert accountant." "Do you not find tho duties of your omco too numerous tor ono man to handle?"

"How do matters stand in tho com munity at the present time?" "Thoy wero novcr in bettor condi tion in some .respects. The people who wero inclined to disrupt it and cause various troubles havo been dis posed of. It is nuito evident that quite a number remember lam judg- ng from their actions joined tho so ciety from mercenary motives alone. Thoy havo been dropped." "What is tho present financial con dition of the community?" It is in as good conditio! as ia possible undor tho existing circum stances. Of tho million and a half of monoy owing five years ago, $1,100- 000 has been paid off, while the other creditors aro, all amply secured by good aafo mortgages." "It would bo intercstiag to know, Mr. Dubs, how yon havo managed to pay $1,109,000 in so short timo, when as you havo said tho holdings of tho sooiety fivo years ago would not have brought $175,000?" "It has all bflcn asoompliihcd through tho development of what woro oousidarcd dead assets. For cxamplo tho very day (two or threo waeks ago) it was shown in court that the Little Saw Mill Run Railroad, of whioh we owned two-thirds atook, was worthless. 1 say that every day, I sold it for $10&,000. That has been my courso all along. I havo worked to make those seemingly valueless belongings bring in something to pay the debts. I am still at work and expeot to ac complish muoh more." "I supposo tho results havo been samowhat disappointing to you?" "On the cantrary. I am well pleasod, I novor oxpooled to accomplish as much as I havo in tho last few years. The possibility of paying off an in- dobtodnoss of $1,500,000 never enter , . ., . ed into my wildest dreams whon 1 used to parado around my store in tho lonely hours of the night, wondering what tho morrow would bring forth, or how I should ever bo able to meet the demands of the moment."

'His descriptions of life at Economy and souio of tho peoplo there is most entertaining. His like- . ing for poor dead Fathor Henrioi is openly expressed. Mr. Duss called to mind tbc well known black bag which Mr. Honrioi carried with him on all visits to this city. It waB tho prevailing impress ion that tho old man carried tho so ciety's millions in the old valise. It was at least supposed to contain some vary valuable papers, eto. The junior trustee laughingly de scribes tho contents of the famous bag as being a bottlo of Economy wino, boncBot cider or milk, togother with a fow giugcr-snaps. Mr. Duss has achieved a moro than local celebrity as a composer. His composition "Liberty Chimes March," played during tho O. A. K. Encamp ment last year, provoked the greatest anthuBiastn. Tho Commander in Chief and staff roocntly prosontod him with a groat diamond ond gold medal as a tokon of their appreciation.
