the same high price, less a commission
of course. The thing looks somewhat
plausible to people who do not take and
read the papers, but it works so as to get
the farmer's money, all the same,without
giving a just equivalent. Do business
with home dealers, men whom you know
are responsible.

horse stood by his young master all
night was the subject of general re
mark." We may remark that notwith
standing the fact known to us that
horses have a great deal of "horse sense,"
none but a poet could induce them to
use such choice language.

The (banning Raxine.
Hon. J. E. North, chairman of the
committee, received a letter last week
from a gentleman in Maryland in regard
to the establishment of a canning fac
tory at this point. The proposed stock
holders of the company are in corres
pondence with him touching the matter.
Ho says that a plant.with a capacity of
20,000 cans of corn and 10,000 of toma
toes would distribute about S10,000
among our farmers and S5,000 or more
to employes; besides, if the crop and
market are at all favorable, there would
be a net profit of at least 50 per cent,
over and above the cost of machinery
and buildings. He says that his county
is more largely engaged in the canning
business than any other in the Union.
Instances are known there where men
have purchased farms, bought thoir
machinery, erected buildings and bought
all supplies on credit and paid for the
whole in a single season. In 18(57 Geo.
W. Baker liegan on an ordinary cook
stove to put up goods for sale. He grad
ually enlarged his facilities until at the
present time he and his sons pack annu
ally $500,000 worth of goods and are,
together, worth 81,000,000. The pros
pects for the present year are not. at all
flattering for the east. The west iB
gradually enlarging its pack at a cost
with which the east cannot compete, at.
the Bame time supplying the western
trade, upon which the east has depended
for a market. The difference of freight
alone, between Baltimore and Omaha
prices will afford a very large profit to
the western packer.
Everyliody who knows anything about
it concedes the great benefit to be de
rived to a community by the establish
ment and succesf ul running of a canning
factory. We have here the facilities for
furnishing the raw product in very great
abundance, and all that is now needed is
to find a good practical man, with some
means of his own to invest along with
our citizens. That is the way the Jour
nal looks at it, recognizing that favora
ble results, incidentally, depend alto
gether upon the successful working of
the factory.
The Conrepitlouul Church.
The members of this church met on
Thursday, the 8th inst., according to
their annual custom, in a "roll call"
meeting. Notwithstanding the unfavor
able condition of the weather and roads,
the absence of bridges over the rivers,
sickness, etc., more than half the entire
membership were present and responded
to their names. Beside these, many
others, who, being non-residents, or sick,
or otherwise necessarily detained, sent
communications which were read by the
clerk. After the meeting, a season was
spent in social intercourse and in eating
a lunch supper. A number of friends
shared with the members of the church
in the enjoyments of the occasion. These
annual gatherings are esteemed as among
the most pleasant and profitable of the
church, and quite indispensable. This
year the meeting occurred on the closing
day of the fourth year of Mr. Rice's pas
torate. These years have been among
the most prosperous in the church's
history. Fifty-one persons have been
added, more than doubling the number
on the roll four years ago. Nearly three
fourths of these have united on profes
sion, and the remaining fourth have come
by letter. Many of the young people
belonging to the families of the church,
and to those regularly attending it, have
voluntarily united with it. There has
been unbroken harmony in the affairs
and work of the church. The financial
matters have been successfully managed,
so that it's obligations have been met
with reasonable promptness, and no
debts remain to embarrass its work.
The Sabbath school, which has always
been a success, has been increasingly so,
the average weekly attendance for the
last year reaching seventy-one. The
church begins the present year inde
pendent of aid heretofore received from
the Home Missionary Society. This fact
should strengthen its appeal for help to
its many friends in the community who
have so kindly and generously responded
before, and whose aid has been and will
be most gratefully appreciated by the
church.
The Journal reporter didn't hear
whether it was John Heitkemper's first
attendance on the Methodist church,
but when the preacher shook hands
with him at the door, after service, and
invited John to come again, "You bet
your boots, I will," was the solid rejoinder.
M.E.SteveaVM Death.
Last week we gave such particulars as
were known here, of the death of Mr.
Stevens. Below, we reproduce from the
Albion News of the 9th, the full account:
"Last Saturday, M. E. Stevens, of
Boone, attended the sale of C. H. Nich
ols, after which he came to town, and
did not get ready to start for home until
about eight o'clock.
About nine o'clock, J. A. Browder
started from town for his home. When
about two and a half miles below town
he noticed some dark object by the side
of the road, but paid no attention to it.
Upon going a little farther he noticed
some blankets and a short distance ahead
a buggy. It now dawned upon him that
an accident had happened. He turned
back and found the dark object to be
the body of M. E. Stevens, who was
breathing, but unconscious. He man
aged to get him into his buggy and took
him to the nearest house, about u mile
away, that of Edwin Browder. Although
unconscious he did not appear to lie
seriously hurt. A doctor was sent for,
also his wife, who arrived about eleven
o'clock. He lived until about three
o'chick when he died without coining to
his senses. The only bruise on his body
was on the side of Ins head, and the sup
position is that one of the neck-yoke
straps broke allowing the tongue of the
buggy to drop, and the team, a fractious
span of colts, became frightened and
started to run throwing him over the
dashboard, and the bruise on his head
may have been made by a kick from one
of the horses. The exact manner of the
accident will never be known.
M. E. Stevens, known to nearly every
body as "Mart," was well known to a
large number of people in Boone county.
He was an honorable, enterprising citi
zen. He leaves a wife, sister and aged
father to mourn his untimely demise.
The funeral was held Wednesday from
the house."
Coanell ProceeditiK.
Adjourned meeting held Monday even
ing. The city attorney was instructed to
enforce the ordinance for keeping open
street-crossings on railroads.
A sidewalk was ordered laid on the
east side of lot 1, block 150.
The clerk was ordered to serve notice
on Mary McMahon to build sidewalk on
the south side of lot. 5, block 118; this is
opposite the Pacific House and on north
side of 10th street.
The city treasurer was instructed to
deliver at Omaha National Bank two
Loup bridge Ixmds of $1,000 each, for
which he is to receive $3,000 $1,000 to
remain here as a guarantee of good faith
on the part of the purchaser of the
bonds.
The city attorney was instructed to
collate and prepare for publication the
ordinances of the city now in force.
Bids for printing the ordinances in
pamphlet form were received and open
ed, and were as follows: The Columbus
Democrat offered to furnish 50 copies

each 8184.50; 150 copies 150 pages each

-The process of making syrup and
sugar from corn was first introduced in
this country by a German chemist named
Goesling, in 1867. By the process of
manufacture, about twenty gallons of
syrup are obtained from one bushel of
corn. The corn is first made into starch,
which, after treatment with sulphuric
acid, is run through marble dust to ex
tract the acid, after which it is purified
with boneblack and boiletf to the desired
consistency. In one institution the
