Dr I Verges of this city is ono of
tho early pioucors of tliis section nnd
ouo to whoso progress nml activity may
bo attributed ft very largo share of tho
prosout dovolopniont of tho city and
country perhaps more than to any one
individual of tho city Ho is classed with
tho sturdy German sottlors of tho lids
thoso who cnnio when there was nothing
but tho fortilo and undeveloped prairies
to attract who endured hardships and
griof that pooplo of later geuoratious
know not of nnd cannot appreciate
His prosout standing in tho business
nud fluanoial world was only attained
by toil hard and por8istautnnd if thoro
is anyone who is entitled to spend his
declining years in comfort and ploaBuro
it iB Dr Verges who has spout tho best
part of his lifo in attaining his prosout
position and has dono more for tho
happiness and prosperity of his neigh
bors than he is given credit for
Tho subject of this skotch is n nativo
of Germany aud when ho immigrated
to this country his idea was to settlo in
some of tho larger cities aud practico
his profession thai of rnediciuo Ho
therefore first settled in Chicago but
through correspondence with frionds in
Nebraska his attention was attracted to
this state whero it was suggostod that
thore woro great opportunities for a
young niau and ho decided to como out
horo In 1SS he arrived in Omaha
which ho found to bo a typical western
city on tho outskirts of civilization At
that timo tho peoplo wero celebrating
tho completion of tho Union Pacific
railway tho last spike of silver which
formed tho connection bctweon tho east
and extreme west having just been
driven Ho had no rnonoy to start in
business and it was his idea that a
young man should start without assist
ance Therefore ho decided to look up
some fertile prairie land aud start from
tho very bottom Six others of similar
mind were found and they decided to
start together to look up desirable loca
tions
They had in mind the Elkhorn Valley
when they startod and camo to Fremont
by rail that being the nearest railway
point They left Omaha January li
J8G9 and arrived in Fremont in duo
time On their arrival at that city they
had little money and no team or other
conveyance but this did not deter them
and thoy started out afoot to their desti
nation Tho snow was two feet deep
and tho weather was cold Tho little
party followed tho Elkhorn river and
wero entertained in tho log cabins or
dugouts of tho pioneers along the way
The entire party could seldom bo ac
commodated at ono place and thoy
were compelled to divide up nnd a por
tion of them proceed to tho next place
which sometimes meant a tramp of
several miles farther The accomoda
tions received were not such as could be
expected at a modern hotel and often
their menu consisted of nothing more
than cooked whole wheat and a little
bacon There was a mill near whore
tho town of West Point now stands
known as the Pebble Creek mill but it
was not easily accessiblo and tho home
steaders did not ordinarily have oven
flour Tho dugouts were of very crude
construction and wore covered with
slough grass
Coming on up the Elkhorn Valley
they fiually arrived at the home of Fred
Lucas near where tho sugar factory
now stands Tho ground covered with
snow they had no opportunity to pick
out desirable land and went solely on
tho advico of Mr Lucas aud other early
sottlors who had seen tho laud in sum
mer aud judged as to its desirability by
the quality of tho gross produced Thoy
picked out the quarters desired in this
manner and returned soon afterward to
Omaha to make encry for them at tho
land ofleo
Dr Verges and Adam Baumann
chose land located about 10 miles north
of tho oity in Pierce county
That summer two acres woro broken
on their claims by neighbors in order to
comply with tho requirements of the
law
On returning to Omaha Dr Vorges
wroto to his old homo for saflicieut
monoy to purchase a team and in 1870
returned to his homestead During
that summer ho broko 85 acres of ground
on his claim and 25 acres for his neigh
bor and it was not until 1871 that ho
harvested his first crop That year
there was a market established iu Nor
folk tho mill having been built and it
might bo said that ho and his neighbors
had at last made a start at farming
In 1875 Dr Verges erected the first
f ramo house in Pierce county the others
being either log cabius sod shanties or
dugouts It was not until 1875 and
1870 that hogs were introduced into the
country and previous to that tho Bettlers
were depending solely upon their crops
of grain nnd hay for their support
When thoy entered thoir homesteads
Old Man Huobuor was tho last settler
north of Norfolk Messrs Wicker
Baumann aud Verges woro tho first to
sottlo north of him
Dr Vorges mado his resldonco on tho
homestead until 1881 ho having ac
quired up to that timo two additonal
quortor sections and had 200 acres under
cultivation tho balanco of tho land
being hay aud pasture land
Tho years up to this timo woro flllod
with many and varied experiences iu
tho doctors lifo of more than passing
intorost Boforo ho had fairly started
at fanning ho workod in tho harvest
field for others On ono occosiou ho
was ollorcd f 1 per day and board to
bind on a Marsh hurvestor Tho wages
ollerod woro big for that timo and ho
promptly nccoptod Tho woathor was
hot and tho grain dry Ho worked
sovorul days wearing tho skin oil his
hands and lingers in sovoral places
Ho rested over Sunday and on Monday
found his hands so still and sore ho could
hardly bond his fingors At that timo the
Marsh harvesters woro without a canopy
aud us tho suu was almost broiling hot on
his suggestion thoy riggod up n canopy
with bed shoots and willow polos
Whother tho harvestor pooplo got tho
suggestion from him or not ho is not
prepared to say but tho noxt year tho
canopy was put iu use Tho harvest
that year was finished howovor under
tho improvised canopy
It might bo stated in this connection
that Dr Vorges aud another gentleman
in tho onstorn part of tho stato intro
duced tho first solf binders in Nebraska
Tho doctor saw ouo on display at tho
Omaha fair or exposition nud bought
ouo through tho agency of A P Pilgor
paying for it botwoeu iflJOO and -100
It was a wiro bindor and was a groat
curiosity It did full duty for many
years aud bound many ncres of grain
during that timo
During his farm lifo Dr Verges also
practiced his profession being tho ouly
doctor for years in tho country His trips
wero usually mado on horseback in boo
Hue across tho country and woro often
mado under conditions most discourag
ing Tho tomporature and storms that
now prevail in this torritory aro not to
bo compared with tho weather thou
He often made trips with tho thermom
eter indicating 10 degrees below zoro
and with howling blizzards raging in
fact at that timo 20 below was not con
sidered very severe One winter thoro
was a diphtheria epidemic and tho doc
tor was kept on tho go much of tho
tho timo trips between patiouts being
a matter of miles In the summer ho
had worked all day on his harvesting
machine and whilo ho obtained a bito
to eat his assistant saddled his pony and
ho started for Norfolk a distance of tou
miles went around and saw his patiouts
and returned home He got to bed
about 1 oclock aud was up by daylight
to renew his labors at harvesting
Many such trips has he mado aud it is
ovident that ho knows what work is
After tho arrival of Dr Boar at an
early date his duties in this particular
were not so arduous but ho still prac
ticed rnediciuo aud is yet doing so
In 1881 ho sold or traded his laud in
terests in Piorco county nnd moved to
Norfolk whore he accumulated largo
property interests both in tho city and
surrounding country
Tho doctor camo from a portion of
Germany where tho beet sugar industry
prevailed nnd ho was early struck with
tho idea that this country could success
fully produce sugar beets As early as
1878 he tried tho raising of sugar beets
from tho seed procured from tho old
country Tho beets wero successfully
grown but ho was unable to determine
their value in sugar as there was no ap
paratus for testing them
Ho raised some beets in his garden
later and scut them to Germany to bo
tested Tho test was satisfactory and
his big ambition from that time was to
iuduco a factory to locate in this neigh
borhood Prof H H Nicholson of the
state university also tested beots for
hfm aud obtained good results After
tho Graud Island factory was built ho
communicated his idea as to this sec
tions adnptibility to tho industry to
H O Whymau and together thoy
visited tho Grand Island factory Ho
also devoted 20 acres to raising beets
for that factory When it camo to
raising a bonus for tho Norfolk factory
Dr Verges showed his faith in the in
dustry and tho benefits to be derived by
tho locality by subscribing 4500 to tho
faotory Ho was also on tho gnarauteo
committoo and contributed another 500
through that means thus contributing
in nil 5000
This is not tho only ovidonco of tho
doctors interest in tho welfare of Nor
folk Ho contributed to tho street car
lines the olectrio light plant and other
public improvements Ho did not go in
for tho purpose of speculation but with
tho solo object of nidiug in tho develop
ment of the city and vicinity
Dr Verges now owns stock in many
of tho industries of tho city He owns
two brick blocks and other business prop
erty and has extensive interests in town
lots nnd residences Ho owns farm lands
in Wayne aud Stanton counties aud
considerable country and suburbau
property in Madison county principally
around Norfolk
It is estimated by a friend that the
doctors wealth today is in tho neighbor
hood of 75000 While this was not all
mado by farming exclusively that in
dustry furnished the foundation for his
wealth and the large portion of it is tho
4 direct result of tilliug the soil

This is tho tlay sot for tho hoaring of
tho case brought by tho Business Mens
association of Norfolk against tho Chi
cago St Paul Minneapolis and Omaha
railroad boforo tho state board of trans
portation Tho hearing was to bo hold
hero but tho day lias como and gone
nud no high pop dignitary of tho stato
board of transportation has put iu an
appearance This was to have boon tho
final hearing for tho purposo of allowing
tho railroads to make a showing as to
why tho rate ordered by tho board at
tho hearing held horo on February 1
which lowered tho cost of transporting
freight of tho first class from South
Sioux City to this placo from 18 to 5
conts a hundred should not bo ouforcod
On February li ono 1 W Edgorton
secretary to tho stato board of transpor
tation sent notice that tho final hear
ing on this ciiso had boon fixed for
March J and that if it was not conveni
ent for representatives of the Norfolk
Buslnoss Mens association to go to
Lincoln ono or more monihors of tho
board would como horo Tho board was
iuformod that it would bo hotter to hold
tho mooting hero and iu tho absouco of
nny contrary information arrangomonts
wore mado to havo tho hoaring at this
placo today At an early hour this
morning n rousing tiro was built in tho
city hall so that tho ono or more mem
bers of tho board who Bhould como
would not bo greoted by a chilly atmos
phere and ovorything was placod in
readiness to givo thorn as cordial a re
ception nB thoy desorvod But thoy
camo not and now tho question is what
has become of tho Norfolk caso Will
tho now rates ordorod by tho bonrd at
tho previous hearing bo put iuto effect
or not
Sovoral days ago tho railroad through
its attorney filed its answer with tho
board which is in part as follows
Tho complaint charged that whou
Secretaries Laws and Edgorton visited
Norfolk last Juno thoy found that
thoro was no freight schedule posted by
tho road on which thoy might depend
for information and that tho secretaries
promised to command tho road to pub
lish such schdulo but that they did not
koop their promise This allegation tho
road emphatically denies asserting that
it has been guilty of no discrimination
or injustice The document filed by
Attornoy Sheenan is filled with denials
It denies that tho road discriminates
against Norfolk iu favor of points no
better situated it denies that no tariff
sheet is published it denies tho publish
ing of rates from Sioux City la and
South Sioux City Nob other than
Norfolk to tho exclusion of tho lntter
It denies that tho road published a rate
from Omaha to Nebraska points other
than Norfolk it denies it will not ac
cept freight at Omaha to bo shipped to
Norfolk agreeing to transport it only
to Hopo a small station a mile from
Norfolk and assorts that the road is
willing to accept freight at Omaha at
any timo to bo carried to Norfolk if
ouly a roasonablo rate may bo charged
Tho road also denies that it has dis
criminated in auy way against Nor
folk In conclusion tho answer says
And further answering this respond
out says that whatever disadvantages
if nny aro suffered by tho business men
of Norfolk aro duo to circumstances
and conditions brought about by tho
location ot tho city that the rates and
charges mado by this rospondout aro
entirely equitable and just to tho pub
lic aud to tho shippers that South
Sioux City is a village existing under
and by virtuo of tho laws of the stato
of Nebraska and containing not more
than i00 inhabitants that no shipments
of any cousequouco aro received from
that village to tho city of Norfolk that
thoro aro no manufacturing commer
cial industrial mercantile or jobbing
enterprises at South Sioux City that
there are no commodities and Btaple
goods of any charaotor which aro
offered for shipment from South Sioux
City to Norfolk that tho domaud con
tained in said complaint for a readjust
ment of rates botweeu South Sioux
Oity and Norfolk Neb is not based
upon any demands of shippers from
South Sioux City nor from porsonswho
wish to ship from Norfolk to South Sioux
City but such a demand is adopted as a
subterfuge for tho purposo of securing
action on tho part of this honorable board
to secure lower rates from ua interstate
point to wit tho city of Sioux City in
the stato of Iowa to tho city of Noifolk
Nob aud for tho purposo of scouring
tho lowering of rates from other through
points without the stato of Nebraska
that tho rates from South Sioux Oity
are governed by a distance tariff and
tho same distance tarifi is applicable to
all small towns similarily eituatod and
near to South Sioux Oity as well as
other towns and villages in tho stato of
Nebraska
This respondent denies oaoh nnd
every allegation in tho complaint uml

ally admitted
