INDIANS.
The Omahas were removed from
liellevne to their present reservation
in the fall of '50. The Otoes were then
ln fheir reservation between the two
Nemahas, and the Pawnees in tho
western part of the State. Ostensibly
all these tribes were safe and sound at
home under the chargo of an Agent,
but in reality the country was so new
and the curiosity of the Indian so great
to see the white men and exairine
their ways that small bands were con
stantly roaming the settled counties
over, much to the amazement and often
terror of the new settlers. Complaints
were made to the agents, but the hab-.l
it of moving was too strong in the In
dlan to be restrained, and consequently
an "Indian scare" was one of the peri
odical excitements of tall the frontier
towns No serious ill will nor any
thing like a Avar ever occurred, but ex
aggerated accounts of their appearance
and the ferocity of their natures were
often written back east by the settlers
newly arrived, and for a long time one
of the bugbears of coming to Nebraska
was "the horrid Indians." These fears
have long since passed away; and to
day an Indian is quite a curiosity to
even the native born children of the
State, in towns removed from the ini
mcdiate vicinitv of their reserves.
WILI CAT BANKING.
iuring both these sessions cf the
Legislature numerous bank charters
were granted, and like almost all new
eount rv's we had to take our share of
"
the wild-cat banking system so preva-
lent before the war. At everv little
j town along the river thev had a bank
and issued nice new crisp bills which
passed current for crackers, cheese, to
bacco, whifkv, etc. One day there
came a crash. The Fnntenclle Bank,
ilt Ifellevue, vent up first, wo believe,
and then fii.st jxs a unn aad horsv
river on? after another suspended. As
the news spread that the banks had
burst, the settlers rushed to see what
the matter was and get their bills re
deemed, and the scene was both ani- i
mating and amusing to evervbodv that

CAPITAL MOVING.
In the winter of '35-'7 during the
Third Session of the Legislature there
was a strong attempt made .to remove
the Capitol from Omaha city to a point
called Douglas City, situated on Salt
Creek near where Lincoln now stands.
Of course the Omahas resisted this to
" .i
sue.i but as wo have jriven surlicicnt i
of ' . ' ,1;, of .,., j .Js j
of tasj pioceedmgs ot oui eaily J.egia-
latures to enablo our readers to ju.lge

onlv stating that Omaha retained the j 3, werP vr" uSht' the General Gov
seat of rrovernment an.! out of that pr- I ernment paying m.-arly all of them.
cap.vde grew, sixteen years afterward,
a famous libel suit, not yet determined
satisfactorily.
OUK GO'
EP.NORS.
Nebraska seems to have been a sort
cf grave-yard for Governors from its
earliest davs ; anl famous
- '
cies." Guv. Burt died an
for "acciden-
and T. B. Cum- !
inv was acting- Governor. Gov. Izard j
succeeded Burt and resigned in the
spring of T7, and left Cuming again
feting Governor. Win. A. Richardson
Was appointed and arrived here about
January 1 It 1:, He resigned dur
ing the same year and left J. Sterling
Morton as acting Governor. He was
relieved by the Hon. Samuel Black in !
"50, who served until the appointment
of Hon. Alvin Saunders by President
Lincoln in 1801. Governor Saunders
continued in office until we became a
State, in 1807. J. Sterling Morton was
acting Governor again. A. S. Paddock
acted as Governor during Gov. Saun
ders absence, and since we' became a
State we have had two acting Govern
ors although one lasted but a few days.
TERRITOF.IAL IELEO.TES.
There seems to be foine doubt about
! our nrst delegate to Coiurress. His
name was Napoleon Bonaparte G id-ding-;,
and ho lived in Missouri. This
gi irtleman went on to Washington at
an early day and tliey say : be sa?d he
represented "what ought to be Nebfas-
' k.i lls'dlr'y D. Johnson also owe-it p-
resented the Territory before it was
I fiiirly orsiinized.
The first delegate to Congress really
sent there by the people and accepted
as such was Bird I?. Chapmaii in IH).
Hon. Fcnner Ferguson, then represent
ed the Territory for one term when ,S.
O. Dailey was elected and served three
terms until 1S01. Hon. P. W. Hitch
cock, our present Senator, succeeded
j him and served until we elected a
State Ticket. Hon. T. M. Marquett
was elected to succeed Hitchcock, p.nd
served as member of 'Congress on the
2d. 3d, and 4th of March, 1SG7, w hen
we became a State and Hon. John Taffe
the elected member.
THE FLOKFNCE. MOVE.
In the winter of '58 a majority of
both Houses skedaddled from Omalia
and attempted to locate the Capital at
Florence.
Ai I IH V a

It created great excitement at the
time and was investigated, before a
joint committee.
"While at Florence a committee wait

Having arrived at years of discre
tion. I passed by on the other side, and
was walking leislurely homeward, when
my attention was arrested by a mys
terious enclosure, in the centre of
which swayed to and fro a magnificent
balloon, which made regular half-hour
trips to a point just a quarter of a mile
above the so'td earth. Then I hesitat
ed. To go up ii. a balloon was the one
great desire of my boyhood. I had
done almost everything else, and this
last exK'rienee would be delightful.
"When I was quite young I was kicked
over a fence . by a wild colt, who re

in a small sailing-boat, and then tip
ped over. In a word, I have done a
thousand delightful tilings, all of
which gave my father and mother
sleepless nights, and made them feel
that I was sure to die an untimely
death. Hut here was a chance to add
a new experience to my" life; and as I

Instinctively I clutched the ropes; but
it did no good, for ropes ami. every
thing else" wera nil going up together.
! Pretty soon I grew more courageous,
and then tiiovnttgiiiy or.joyed myself.
It was very cloudy but I got a good
view of tho whole town. The tops of
the houses were far below me, and the
church steeples seenied slender as reeds.
Just then the Professor engaged my
attention with some of his exploits,
and when not 1 looked 1 could see
nothing. We were in the middle of a
ck'ud, and the men, the houses and the
town were wholly hidden from view.
We were out of sight of land.
"How far up are we, Professor?"
"Only about a quarter of a mile," he
answered.
A quarter of a mile straight up!
What if the, balloon should burst
through its lacings! In what shape
should I appear alter dropping twelve
hundred fett or irore? This pleasant
; thought would intrude itself. Only
j twt.lve hundred vertical feet; well,
: that is not verv much, and vet if I
j should fall, I think the coroner's jury
would have no dirlicultv in discovering
.i e .
I the cause of mv ucaih.

! The hand that holds you in its hollow
i when vou walk the earth, is underneath
you when yon hive the clouds for your
companions."
So. by degrees, I grew accustomed to
my new position, and sat quietly enjoy
ing, not th?? scenery, but the situation,
while thrt Professor toid me of his ex
perience in France in the service of the
army, during the siege of Paris. Away
up beyond the reach of hostile bullets,
glass and note-book in hand, he used
to watch the movements of the Ger
mans. How provoking it must have
been to see a little black specie among
the clouds, nvd know that at every pa
rade a pair of sharp rye? were looking
through a powerful telescope, while a
"chiel takin notes' would report to the
enemy what not even the most daring
spy or sharpshooter could discover.
Well, after a while, desiring to see
the faces of mortals once more, I indi
cated my desire to return to the planet.
Slowly we descended; and, just as on

Mother Earth under my let t.
The- Professor gave me a paper, cer
tifying to the fact of my exploit, and
assuring my friends that for thu lasL;
thirty minutes I had been far above
the planet ; and 1 rushed home.
I had no sooner told my story at the
table, than my plucky little w ife said,
"Well, if you can go up in a balloon, so
i can i.
"You! Up ?n balloon?" My eyes
were wide open.

I supposed she would regard me as a
! fit subiect for the lunatic asylum when
I told her what I had done; but I
found zhz only envied me my exalted
position, and determined to go as much
higher as circumstances votdd permit.
Such is life, and such is woman.
1 tried to reason with her, but who
ever got the better of his wife i;i an
argument? She had two re;isons for
to every one against;
"If . she w ill she v. iH. vou may dr pend on't ;
If she won't she won't, and there's the end
on't."
Those two lines are the battle of
j freedom with tho other sex; so I sub
mitted with as good a grace as I could
c-xtf mporarily master.
When we reached the roa lsted where
thV castle in the air was anchored, the
sun broke through the clouds, and we
wtr? assured by' the Professor that we
should have a splendid Aiew. Alter
climbing into the car and taking our
seats, the signal was fr'rvcn and slowly
we began to leave the earth. There
weie,thc houses far below, p: ,,sentin0
the ir roofs and their chimnej s to break

t! ought was that -we should have fo
dtf pmore than live hundred fet in a
:Tiaight lino before we could even
J land .on a chimney. We did not seem i
to be going away from the earth, but
the earth appeared to be dropping
axyay from us. The carriages lookd
small enougli to hang on one'.; watch
chain for charms; and 'as for the hu
man beings, the effect of our elevation
was very peculiar. We. saw then, of
course, greatly fore-shortened. They
seemed to be not more than a foot or
eighteen inches long. But when they
walked we could see the f,rdl length of
the stride. It was a very curious sight
men only a foot long, taking steps
three feet in length. The seven-league
boots seemed no longer a myth.
Pretty soon I caught the Professor
emptving a huge sand-bag. -
"What i-5 that for v" I said. .
"To go iip. higher," he answered.
I looked at the little woman who snt
beside me, and said "Higher V
A nod in the aflirmativc.
"There's pluck." I said in my heart;
and in half a minute xve could look
down on the entire town, and, indeed,
upon su"h a view we could hardly
speak, so impressed were we with the
magnificence of the great picture that
lay far, far beneath us. To say that
we enjoyed it, after the trepidation was
over( is to speak in feeble language.
AVho would not enjoy sitting in the lap
of a friendly cloud, and looking down
miles on miles of green pasture and
throbbing town ?
But all excitements must end: so we
took an affectionate farewell of the up
per air and of the mists that Crushed
by us, and soon stepped again upon the
planet, glad to have been for once "up
above the world .so high."
OUR RED WILLOW BUDGET.
Red Willow, Aug. 5th, 1873.
Well McIIeralp, in my hist commu
nication I promised another after the
election; this is after an election, and
after a contest, in which Red Willow
is again ahead. I tvllan-o-la , the bright
particular star of the D. W. Smithites,
has sunk, and her brave defenders have
saddled daddy Smith with about three
hundred dollars contest costs.
They were alittle too late with their
Injunction, and Red Willow is now tho
county seat; and two-thirds of the
voters of Red Willow county are hap
py. In plain English, we have cleaned
cm out' The enemy has been met and
twice vanquished, and we have shown
the Republican Valley Land Associa
tion that we urs true Americans, add
are capable of self government.
These things that I have written arc
true, and Indianola does not stand a
ghost of a show, notwithstanding the
asertions of tho Lincoln Ghost to tho
contrary. I presume, however, that
Mr. Ghost was missinformed and w hat
he stated was merely on belief, and not
on positive evidence. Those of us who
are actual settlers in this valley think
it about time that corporations who
expec t to live off the trade of this val
ley should consult our, interest; as well
as their own, and in this way we can
life and do business together; other
wise, it is war to the .knife. No man's
money can prevail here over right; we
want Rail Roads and villages, but. we
want them as we can afford them.
So much of the contest has been de
cided in favor of Red Willow, the coun
ty seat of Red willow county, find Mac
we shall want you out here to edit the
Red Willow Oazt-tle, yet.
Crops look fine that is, all we plant
ed. Good corn; the best 1 ever saw;
beats Cass county rdl hollow. There
was but little small grain sown and
that wa3 a good average. We want a
Grist Mill hero; a good site can be had
on Red Willow creek, with rock bot
tom, and plenty of stone to build a dam ;
and plenty of water to ruiiH mill, also",
plenty of grinding to keep the mill
running, as soon as one can be built.
Some live man can have a good thing
here; there is not another mill site in
twenty utiles to the east, and nonefor
thirty miles to the west, though there
are several on this crek, soirfe of them
to give away, soitie to be bought .cheap,
and some where assistance can be had
to help in building a dam. We want
mill-men., merchants, nw hanics, stock
men, cattle and sheep growers, with
their wives, and the young men will
wanii their comely daughters; we in
vite every body to come and see us.
The timber Sufficient for present
use for fuel; water pure and good, and
the hills that have been passed by in
silence, are our best farming lands; at
least our cr-ps go to prove it this year.
We wants every body to come and see tin
and live in a county where there is no
K. R. bonds to pay, ftf.d see a people
who can successfully combat a power :
f al combination cf capitalists and cor
porations, who have everything their
own way. Furnas county is not out of
the woods yet. Harlan county is still

man, the devil;" ljt them shout, who
are out of the woods; v,c shout, and

boasting bow 'they would hunt the
Sioux; but they returned how ling lile'
so many starved cayotes. The report
is, that they 'dost many ponies; nearly
all their squaws and papooses, and evi
dently all their pluck," for I never saw
but one such a down hearted set, and
that waif a defeated army when It was
