Heavy snow up west last week.
The east-bonnd trains were generally
late on Thursday in consequence, by
several hours. The Denver did not
go east till noon and No. 4, the
regular express, was passed at this
point by the west-bound train, .also
an hour or so late.

W. A. Way thinks it wouldn't
be a bad notion for the county to go

would promise some permanency. A
suggestion worthy of consideration.
We neglected, unintentionally, to
mention in our report of the new

of all kinds and finished from life sit
tings. He exhibits a fine specimen of

high authority. He contemplates
6tated visits to Columbus for the
future.
The truth is always the best in
the long run, and the fact is that
veracity, as the B. & O. has ever
found, is like honesty, very much the
beBt policy. If some of the big-talk-ine
lines would make Inauguration
rates good on all trains, and not
make low rates apply only to cheap
train?, the public would believe more
in them. Fact !
J. W. Sissle has left us copies of

that place. As Mr. Sissle suggests,
we believe no soil can be found,
better adapted to this business than
that of Nebraska.

The Chautauqua Club had a very
interesting meeting Saturday evening
at Mrs. Page's. The young people of
the city and vicinity who iucline to

commemorating the anniversary of
birth of the poet Longfellow by reci
tations of his poems, singing of songs
written by him, and sketches of his
life at various periods, prepared by
members of the club.
The Baltimore and Ohio, the
only direct line from the West to
Washington, is preeminently the
route of all for the trip to the Na
tional Capital at the time of the in
auguration. It is the only line run
ning limited express trains on fast
time without extra charge, and the
only line upon which passengers can
exercise the good old American right
of going as they please. All the B.
& O. trains run through solid, there
being no change of cars, of any class
whatever, from starting point to
destination.
Commercial tourists, who are
making their regular spring pil
grimage in quest of orders, do not
find merchants in the Btate so ready
as wont to make purchases for the
spring and summer trade, but are
confident and hopeful of making it
all up later in the season. They are
of the opinion that the experience of
the past season will result in inducing
the system in vogue in a large ma
jority of the states, of purchasing
supplies when needed, or, at least,
more nearly approximating the rule
than has heretofore been the custom
n( Nebraska merchants. The Dre-
diction of a good spring and summer
trade certainly seems well founded.
Most persons read a book but
once, so that it would be a very large

it will be added, upon your request

book for 2 weeks ; $2, one book at a
time for a year; $3.50 for two books
at a time for a year ; $5.00 for three

tended, in this practicable way to
build up a library that will be very
useful to its patrons, furnishing them
with good reading matter at the
lowest possible coBt. The books can
go to any distance desired, the re

THE CANNING BUSINESS.
"Strike "While tie Irom is Hot" Skowld
lie the Motto of Columbus.
The initial stepB have already been
taken here to secure a permanent en
terprise of this character in Colum
bus, and we believe with a very fair
chance of successful consummation.
Mr. Armstrong, who, during the past
season has practically demonstrated
his fitness to handle the business, by
putting on the market goods that have
induced testimonials of the strongest
kind wherever tried, i heading the
movement. As yet he has not suc
ceeded in getting assurance of a suffi
cient amount of financial assistance
necessary for the undertaking, but it
is more than probable that others of
our enterprising business men, in ad
dition to thoBe who have already ex
pressed a willingness to lend their aid,
will make up the remaining deficien
cy, and the affair be pushed to a suc
cessful issue.
Evervthing seems to point to the
present as a most favorable time for
such an undertaking. A review of
the business in this line for the year
just passed shows a remarkable fall
ing off from the previous year in
Maryland and Delaware, two leading
states in the canning business of the
east, the causes for which are various
ly attributed, but conceded to he
largely due to the farmer packers,
who of late years have figured exten
sively in the product of canned goods
in the states mentioned, especially in
the supply of tomatoes, retiring from
the conflict with the regular factories.
The falling off from this source will
of course be permanent, and the out
put from this great supply source
naturally less ; and equally as natural
a result will be the conditions of trade
advantageous to western productions
on account of the falling off. And
the ultimate result of a movement in
time looking to a permanent footing
for this important branch of business
in the west, and in profiting by the
natural advantages which the west
has over the east for supplying her
wants in this line must result in
accomplishing just what should be
done compel the eastern goods to
stay at home at least to stay out of
this market by turning to account,
where they are grown, the products
which will supply the home demand
with better goods at the same or
cheaper figures. Aside from the
question of transportation, we have
every natural advantage for doing
this very thing ; no question about it.
Our soil does not require the extra
expense of fertilizing, la easier culti
vated and much better adapted in
every respect to a successful cultiva
tion than is ihe soil of the east, where
Yankee enterprise has turned into
mines of wealth a branch of industry
for which the very territory from
which she has received, proportion
ately, her largest patronage is better
adapted.
Another important consideration,
and one which may not have
occurred to all who have the matter
in mind, is that Columbus, aside from
being geographically well situated,
and in point of shipping facilities,
well provided for wholesale trade or
manufacturing enterprises of every
description, offers special induce
ments as a location for a business of
the character in question, from the
fact that she is situated very nearly
at (he northern limit of the canning
belt, bo far as two of the principal
productions corn and tomatoes are
concerned. It will not take any par
ticular amount of business acumen to
discern that this fact would give Co
lnmbus a decided advantage over
points farther east and south in the
state in controlling the trade in im
portant territory in the west and
northwest.
A GREAT SUCCESS.
The Hookies' Masquerade Monday
Erasing.
One of the greatest amusement
successes of the winter was the Hook
ies' Annual Washington's Birthday
masquerade at the Opera House,
Monday evening last. The evening
was not at all favorable, owing to the
snow fall prevailing at the hour for
the gat'iering, but the attendance was
good, in fact large, the ample Opera
House being filled with the maskers
and spectators.
We have not space at this time to
give the names and characters repre
sented by the maskers, and it will
suffice to say that the representation
was varied and covered the whole
field, the number of striking and well
sustained ones being much larger
than at any-previous occasion of the
kind. The lively, mirth-provoking
scene was hugely enjoyed by the
spectators, while the maskers, up to
the time of doffing their disguise, had
the situation for a good time for
themselves all in their own hands.
The management are to be congrat
ulated upon the entire success of the
evening.

Mr. Theodore Matson of Creston,
arrived here Saturday morning from
bis sojourn in the old country. He
left here on the 12th of last Novem
ber, having a very pleasant voyage
out. On the return trip, however,
they had quite an experience being
the stormiest time that Mr. Mateon
ever experienced, and he had seen
some pretty tough times in his fifteen
years at Bea. At the first a heavy
northweet gale, afterwards shifting to
west by south, kept all hands inter
ested in the weather, which interest
was intensified when on tho morning
of the 6th, in a fog, they struck
againBt an iceberg about one and a
half days east from the Newfoundland
Banks. The ship was going at the
rate oi inirieen snots an nour at me
time, and the collision knocked two
holes in the bottom of the ship,
itnsetia, necessitating tne vigorous ubo
of three eteam pumps. To avert dis
aster, all the spare matresses of the
vessel were taken, placed over the
holes and kept there by heavy pres
sure from jack-screws. In answer to
our question which he liked the best,
thft old Ronntrv or the new. Mr. Mat-
son replied that America suited him.

Geo. N. Hopkinc, our genial har
ness man, who by the way is quite a
talker, says that he never experienced
such a dogon cold winter but once
in his life and that was some years
ago when he was a mere boy living
in the east with his pa and ma. He
remembers one cold morning when
the thermometer registered (he
think?) about 400 below zero. He
went out to the barn to milk old
Brindle and when he got through the
milk was froze solid in tho pail and
Ms hands were froze tight to the cow
and he had to call for his ma to bring
some warm water to thaw them
loose. But, as I said before that
George is such a talker, you can't tell
what to think about the matter, I
presume it is a true story. Hope so,
for his sake.

The B. & O. depot, in Washing
ton, is so exceedingly handy to the
capitol practically next square that
no road in the city can equal it in
point of accessibility. Another great
advantage lies in the fact that the B.
& O. has its own depot used ex
clusively for its own trains. When
the time for departure comes after
the inaugural proceedings are at an
end, there is inevitably a rush to the
depots. In such depots where there
are various roads, one can readily
imagine the confusion which must
exist, and the consequent risk of get
ting upon wrong trains. Nothing of
this kind can occur at the B. & O.
depot, where the platforms are
spacious, and where there is no
crowding and jamming to get through
narrow cAtpn. And beiner shoved back
with the discouraging announcement
that it is "not your train."

benefit from Electric Bitters, I feel it
my duty to let Buffering humanity
know it. Have had a running sore
on ray leg for eight years ; my doc
tors.told me I would have to have the
bone scraped or leg ampulatcd. I
used, instead, three bottles of Electric
Bitters and seven boxes Bucklcn's
Arnica Salve, and my leg is now
sound and well."
E'ectric Bitters are sold at fifty
cents a bottle, and Bucklen' Arnica
Salve at 25c. per box by Dowty &
