Z. W. Phrackr.
Pioneer Woman Relates Some Inter
esting Incidents
The Journal Is In receipt of the
following communication from one
of the oldest settlers in Cass coun
ty, which It gladly prints. The ar
ticle is written by a lady who came
to Nebraska In 1856, and is, there
fore, entitled to the title of one of
the oldest inhabitants of the state.
She requested that her name be with
held and, therefore, this does not ap
pear. The article Is as follows:
"In view of the approaching old
settlers' picnle, my mind has gone
back to the 6th day of July, 1856,
when my father and his family cross
ed the Missouri river at Kenosha.
John McF. Hagood operated a ferry
at that point at that time. In those
days there were hardpshlps and pri
vations endured which the younger
generation cannot comprehend, and
many of us older people never Imag
ined that we would live to he sur
rounded by the comforts and lux
uries of modem days.
"When we came to this country
Providence surely took provisions
for our comfort. For many years
there was an abundance of wild
fruits which proved a boon to the
settlers, tame fruits being many
years In becoming established. Dur
ing 1866 the writer saw green ap
ples hauled from Missouri In a
wagon and selling at 35 cents a
dozen. Dried' apples were selling at
25 cents a pound. At this time the
art of canning fruits in jars was un
known, and when spring came we
were glad li either sheep sorrel for
pies. And for sweetening these and
for making cakes sorghum molasses
was used. These were mighty good
to eat and we were healthy enough
to enjoy them. Added to this the
pure Nebraska ozone whetted our appetites.
"Legal tender here then wa3 Cot
tonwood lumber and real money
loaned readily at 40 per cent. Flour
sold at $12 a barrel. I have seen
huge sides of bacon unloaded from
the boats at Plattsmouth and piled
in great piles on the banks of the
river, over which the negroes who
had unloaded It walked as if it was a
board walk. This some bac6n brought
40 cents a pound In the market. Saw
mills In this country were scare and
small cabins were the habltate of the
settlers. Those who boasted two
rooms were well off.
"In 1857, when land was opened
for pre-emption, a settler was re
quired to have a foundation for a
house five logs high, and 1 have been
told that If the house was built It
must have a window with glass In it.
Some to evade this feature of the law-
would build the house, rut a hole In
the building, place a bottle In It and
take the oath that they had fulfilled
the law's requirements.
At this period Rock Bluffs was a
thriving little village and Platts
mouth had, but few houses. Platts
mouth, Rock IUuffs, Kenosha and
Liberty were then rivals In the coun
ty seat contest.
"The winter of 183 -67 was a very
severe one, with one blizzard follow
ing another, and the snow lying four
fe'ot deep on the level. This winter
found the settlers unprepared, and
when spring came in 1857 the ground
where the Burlington shops now
stand in Plattsmouth was covered
with carcasses of cattle that had died
from starvation and exposure to the
intense cold. These carcasses were
cleaned up by the Indians, who spent
the winter camped on Wintersteen
hill. At this time kerosene was un
known and light was supplied by
candles of our own make. Times
have surely changed a great deal in
fifty years."
Cleaning Main Street.
If the enterprise of some of tho
merchants on the street Is emulated,
Plattsmouth will have some blocks
on Main street at least which will be
clean. Charley Martin, the barber,
has organized a street cleaning force
which Is doing good work, and which
is going to be an effective means of
keeping Main street In good, clean
condition. The plan which has
been adopted provides for each mer
chant sweeping the street to the
middle of the street twice a week.
Starting out yesterday morning the
following firms adopted the Martin
plan, and when they swept their
walks they kept on sweeping to the
middle of the street: Westcott'8
Sons, G. W. Gregg, Charles Martin,
George Sayles, John Bauer, Weyrich
& Hadr'aba, Ed. Egenberger, Gerlng
& Co., Falter & Thlerolf, Majestic
theater, John Schlappacasse, Sher
wood's. These firms are known to
have heijed out on clean streets and
there may have been several others.
The city has agreed to have a wagon
gather up the dirt, and the result
will be clean streets. Mr. Martin de
serves much credit for his enterprise
in starting a cleaning crusade, and It
Is to be hoped his example will be
emulated by every merchant on Main
street. By doing this they aid In
keeping the dust down on the street,
keep their 6tores dean and their
stocks of goods in presentable shape
and add much to the appearance of
the city. In addition It means that
the city Is helped out on the bills for
cleaning the streets, quite an Item of
expense, and one well worth looking
after. The merchants propose to
sweep the street twice a week, which
Is often enough, and In a very short
time It will be a dean, handsome
street.
Man anel Team Missing.
A special from Nebraska City, un
der date of August 2, says: "Frank
S. Gordon, liveryman at Dunbar, re
ported to the sheriff yesterday that
one of his best teams was missing
since last Thursday. A man giving
his name as C. Hill and claiming to
be a land agent from Omaha had
been at work about that place for
several days, using a tenm from this
barn to visit prospective purchasers.
He always drove back on time, but
Thursday he obtained the best team
In the barn and since then nothing
has been heard from him. As far as
the officers could learn, the man,
after getting the team, drove directly
out of the county and made goad his
.escape. A reward Is offered for both
the man and the team." The forego
ing Is of no special Interest to the
Journal, only that Frank formerly
resided In this city, where he Is well
known, and where he hns many
frlenels. who hope he will find his
property with nn opportunity to pun
ish the thief.
