Those who have the opportunity to read
thr little volume Jut Issued by John S.
Collins of Omaha. giving W experience
of the early days acros the plains, will
leol a regret that the publication has been
limited to 150 numbers,- because It would
make a desirable addition to any library.
Iti his Introduction Mr. Collins says his ea
perlences are told In a "matter-of-fact
way." but In the fascinating chapter
which follow under . the title of "Across
the Plains in '64." the reader feels the
chatm of the novelist and the work Is
laid aside at the end it the last chapter
with a feeling of reluctance.
Throughout the work one Is constantly
impressed with the difference In the meth
ods' of travel in '64 and '04. Then the ox
cart and mule train moved slowly over the
trail which today Is covered by the pala
tial coache of the modern passenger ex
press. The author says he crossed the
Missouri liver from Council Bluffs-March
2.1. 1864, and met his father and brother.
Omaha then was little more than a set
tlement, but there were exceptional busi
ness opportunities here and the brothers
formed a buslneKs partnership. On the
same day that Gilbert H. Collins, the
brother, started for the east for a stock
of leather and saddlery goods, the author
started 'cross lota at Fourteenth nnd Doug
las streets for the west. Mo camped for
the night under the big elms at Military
bridge. Twenty-fourth and Cumins streets
now mark the spet. The Mormor.s on their
westward march held Sunday services un
der thetreea and Johnson's army crossed
the bridge' In 13 to fight the Mormons at
bolt Lake City.
After Leaving; Omaha.
Mo reached the Elkhorn' river on March
24 and pitch -4 camp. Raw Hide creek was
the next camp and the pawnei Indians
came down In droves to visit the carhp.
They were friendly enough, but spoons,
knives and other oamp utensils which could
be hidde.i under a blnnkit had to be
watched. On the way to Fremont white
tailed deer was frequently seen In the tall
grass. There were only a few ranches on
the way and a pilgrim who did not patron
ise them was likely to And ono or two hood
of stock missing In the morning. The
tharges for stabling a span was $1 and
S3 cents a head was charged for loose cattle.
The loss of the stock often made It neces
sary to lay over a day or tw... Sometimes
the stock turned up later at tho ranch
with charges of $8 or 110 for the recovery
of the animals. '
West of Columbus the author crossed the
Loup river, which at the time was full of
running Ice, The ferryboat had sunk arid
all hands had to help pump It out and
raise It. When the start was Anally made
BO cents per wagon and one span was paid
for taking the party and the stock across
the river. The Pawnees visited the party
t every camp and they were always hun
gry. When Collins' party reached the
Platte river many kept on the north Md
of the stream and took the old '49 trail,
while others forded the river and took the
trail on the south side,, which it was sup
posed would cut off fifty miles of the dis
tance. ; . '
ry " Ordaatn the llatte River.
The river was filled with shifting quick
sands which made the ' crossing danger
ous and laborious. It wo necessary to
keep the oxen moving, as otherwise they
would sink to the body In the sand which
nad to' be shoveled, out from under the
cattle to release them.. The. ferriage. across,
the river .was ft for one wagon. The party
with Mr. Collins- made the crossing 300
miles ' up stream :' from the point where
they first . struck the river and entered
what was then the hostile Bloux coun
try. The train consisting ot lot wagons
and about 160 men was organised and
placed under the command of Thomas
Prowse, an old '49-er of Galena, in. As
soon as he was elected captain he mounted
one of the wagons and said:
"All the men who go with thts outfit
hand in your names and the kind of trans
portation you have. This will be no pic
nic, and I want you all to understand
that every man will do his share of guard
duty. Orders will be orders, and it there
Is a man In this crowd not willing to obey
orders, now is the, time for him to drop
out. This train will roll out at daylight
tomorrow morning and as the Indiana al
ways go for the last teams. It will be
well not to lag behind, as we shall see
plenty of them." v
Jim McNear and Jane. '
There was a call to know if Jim McNear
was on the train. McNear was the com
panion of Collins, and hod started with him
front Council Bluffs. A braver' man, says
the author, never walked in two . shoes.
When his name was called be stepped for
ward and said:
"You bet I'm here." You'll find me In the
Collins outfit. In front."
Just as the train was ready to "roll" a
buxom Irish . girl, weighing about 109
pound, drove up to Captain Prowse and
said:
. "Captain, I want to go wld ye, I have
me own team and I can take care of me
elf." "All right," was the reply; "we need one
woman with 160 men to bake our bread
and mend our trousers."
With charcoal, the cover of her wagon
was marked "Jane." She was given a place
In the middle of the train. The plains were
covered with dry grass and no fuel for WO
miles. It was anything but a cheerful out
- look, says the author.' ' '
Hts Kiss Battalo Haul.
The author tells of a buffalo hunt, In
which several of the party Indulged.' It had
taken thorn some time to get to the firing
line and each man picked out a buffalo and
fired. When', the author fired hla horse
plunged and got nway. He gave chase, for
the prospect of walking ten miles back to
camp was nut a pleasant one. The horse
was Anally captured by one of the other
men. He relates how disgusted he felt
when the other, men of the party brought
In the buffalo meat and he was compelled
to forego the pleasure, owing to the action
of bis horse, which prevented him from
taking a second shot at bis buffalo and
bringing him to the ground. Three buffalo
and three antelope ware killed by the
party. For revenge he rode his pony until
be was tired out. He tells of wsltlng for a
man named "Chance." who had left the
party to post some letters with a mule
train going - east. He was to meet the
westbound party later, but was delsyed for
one reason and another, and It was three
dsys before he finally overtook the train.
In the meantime he had lived on a raxr
rabbit and a prairie dog which he had
killed with atones. He had not lighted a
fir because be did not care to attract the
Indians.
Ftft-htfagf Prairie Fires.
On April It they started out M usual, but
Bad not gone far beore' tbey discovered
a prairie fire bearing down upon them.
Half an hour brought them to a marsh and
a small lake, where they began to "back
Are." This was to light th edry grass In
froat of them and then move Into tae
burned area. In the meantime the wagons
had been corralled and chained and the
cattle Kad been driven) Inside. BereraJ
acres ot ground were burned, the fire be
Ing put out with water at regular Intervals
before It got beyond control. It was fast
and strenuous work and Jane did her
share by carrying water for the men. The
approaching line of Are was a mile long
and sometimes leaped fifty feet Into the
air. A quarter of a mile away the heat
could be felt and It was almost stifling. All
kinds of game swept through the camp,
driven on by the flames In the rear. ' The
stock bellowed and brayed In frensled ter
ror. The Area, front and rear, soon met
and the smoke was so thick that the' mem
bers of the party had to throw themselves
upon the ground until the flame had
passed around them. The roll was called,
bnt all stood by their wagons and answered
their names.
Word front the ftloax.
In orolng the North Bluff creek an
Indian, the first they had seen for some
time, rode Into camp. lie told them that
twelve Sioux had raided a Pawnee camp
and that he was the only Indian In the
bunch who had escaped. He vouchsafed
the cheerful news that the Bloux were out
In numbers and that the train would have
to look out for Itself.
After supper they came upon a white
man who had been scalped by the Indians.
There was an arrow through his body,
which Is now In the possession of the au
thor. Two men and one woman had trav
el alone and the dead bodies were all
found with the remnants of their outfit
Bnow and rain were unpleasant features
of the trip up to thts time, and the wolves
and coyottes bothered them some. On
April 25 they crossed the Platte and the
next day they reached Fort Laramie,
where they found the "galvanised" troops
of Colonel Collins, prisoners captured in
the civil war who had been sent west tp
serve for the federal government because
the eastern prisons were running over.
Hero tney met Jim Brldger, the scout who
had spent forty-two years of his life on
the plains. When asked how long he had
been In the country lie pointed to a distant
peak and said
"Stranger, do you see that peak? Well.
I kem to this kentry Vhen that mountain
was a ho!e in tho ground."
Pioneer Postofflee.
In 1872 the author returned to the same
post as post trader and remained until
1882. He was appointed to "the position
by General Grant. Near a crossing fur
ther on the pilgrims discovered a tent on
which was daubed the words, "Postofflee.
Letters to the states 60 cents." There was
a silt to drop the money and letters
through. While waiting to have tho let
ters checked off a rider would dash Up In
a hurry, give the impression that ho
couldn't wait, hurriedly gather the money
and the mall and then dash off down the
river, where the mall was dumped into the
river.
Beyond Fort Fetterman, which they
reached some days later, they found "Pois
on Springs," which was surrounded by the
carcasses and- bleached bones of animals
which had slaked their thirst from the al
kali waters. At this point they saw the
stump- of a telegraph pole which had been
cut by the Indians. It" had been hacked
off with a tomahawk and had been used
for kindling wood. Lightning struck the
pole before It fell and killed the Indian
and this is given as the reason that the
Indians afterward never molested telegraph
poles. They regarded them aa "bad med
icine." Bluff an Army Officer.
- At one time the train was arrested for
buying corn from the soldiers at Fort
Laramie. 'They were ordered to return to
the fort, but Jim McNeal said that the
train was bound west, and he gave the
officer from the fort to understand that
the entire fort .would bay .to turn out
and bring the train back If they wanted
it. The train kept on going... He had t"
whip the officer In a rough and tumble
before the inarch waa continued. On May
11th the party struck the Sweetwater -
On the 16th they struck the Green river.
"Chance," who was a character, and the
dare-devil of the party, teBted the depth
ot the water. He went in with a rush
and when he came to the surface he was
spouting like a whale. He advised the
party to go easy, and for this reason
the wagons were blocked and several men
were put in charge of each team. In this
way they floated and waded across. The
author had to mount one of the seats and
handle the ribbons, although he walked
most of the -way from Omaha, and this
was dangerous work,' but the voice of the
captain had a dangerous ring and he had
to obey. At one point the wagon toppled
and he nearly keeled over, but Jane came
to his rescue. The author also telh) of the
hardships encountered in passing over the
mountains where they had to pass through
deep snow, the team which he drove being
buried at one time In eight feet of the
"beautiful."
One Ferry that Paid. .
On June 2 they crossed Manna's terry on
the Snake river and paid S3 ior the privi
lege. They did all the work while the
owners sat on th bank aod watched. The
cattle swam. On June 12 the train came
in sight of Virginia City, the principal
gold camp of Montana. The price of flour
there was only $38 a sack, and was con
sidered uheap at that price. Everything
else went at the same low figure. Includ
ing coal oil at 26 per gallon.
The author tells of -the people and the
dance halls where the pockets of the men
bulged with gold dust.. There were pulnted
women gamblers and "hurdy gurdy"
dances, where men paid half-a-pennywelght
in dust for a turn to the mtrslc of a sickly
Addle and bought the drinks for his part
ner afterward. Greenbacks passed current
for only fifty cents. Gold dust was th
"coin of the realm." This was wortfi $18
per ounce.
Work of Vlgllae.ee Committee.
Early In the spring a vigilance committee
waa organised by the "best element" for
the purpose of rounding up the despera
does. Dosen of pickets surrounded th
town and when they closed in they had
scores of them in their drag net : The
committee sat all night behind closed doors.
Many ot the men were banished and the
others were hanged. At daylight the most
at the condemned ones were dangling from
the frames of th unfinished buildings on
Main street. Once Ave were hanged at one
time and the country was scoured "fcr
miles around," say the author, In search
of guilty ones. , .
During the following six month nearly
one hundred outlaws were "boosted" Into
eternity. The only mistakes made, says
the author, was in banishing some who
should have been hanged.
The book is replete with reminiscences
and the author In the courts of the work
tella ot many sad experiences and incl
denta. of petrlfled forests, floating meat
markets, thrilling side trips and adventure
by water and on foot and on horseback in
lands that even today retain their mysti
cism. It Is a remarkable collection of
stories, and they are told In a etralght
forward, simple way which only adds to
tho charm and Interest ot the tale.

Th wheat marketa are beginning to act
with a tired and rather weary feeling,
showing s lack of buoyancy and a dis
position to sag. while speculators are
resting after the stirring times of the last
sixty days. Threshing is going on In the
northwest and the wheat trad appesrs
willing to await returns that will settle
the Important matter of crop yield in that
section. The news from the harvest fields
Is confirmatory of the worst that has been
predicted. On this matter crop experts
agree. The Northwestern Miller Is about
the only exception and according to best
reports Its expert predictions sre being
msde to appear far from tight. Min
neapolis complains of the arrivals a few
cars dally, and looks for sharp advances
unless there Is a material Increase in the
supply. Millers are reported as being ner
vous over the scarcity ot wheat and likely
to start competitive buying before long.
This Is the story of the gossips. Naturally,
with the burden of the refrain running
this way, a strong mill market might be
expected, but the action of prices today
was not in that direction indeed the
changes were decidedly light, the Septem
ber future, in which operations promise
to be restricted from now on, showing a
loss of c. while December was unchanged
except by e improvement and May ai
exactly Friday's final figures.
Wheat receipts fell off In Omaha and
there was some little diminution In the de
mand, but still the prices for good wheat
were hotter than at any other marKet,
relatively. No. 2 wheat testing under 0
pounds sold here at 11.01. and certainly the
elevator man or gTaln grower ought to be
satisfied with this. No. 4 hJinf0id011"i
93dn3c and a higher grade of whent would
have brought better prices than anjtning
quoted. The same was true of corn. The
Samples offered on the Grain 'rhtige
tables were almost uniformly poor and the
shipper has no right to expect anything
but a low price, much Below that J""'y
received. There Is a splendid demand from
grinders and starch people for corn i n
this market, but It must be reasonablj
good to get toppy prices.

Coffee Market.
NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-COFFKE The
market for coffee futures opened steady
at a decline of 6 points. The general news
was not unfavorable, receipts being mod
erate and foreign markets steady, but
heavy Hi-ptember notices, an Id to reach
about 260,000 bags, were in circulation and
caused considerable liquidation. Eventu
ally the leading trade in this stopped th
tenders, but not until after prices had de
clined to a net loss of about 10(315 points.
Later the market showed a much steadier
tone and was finally only &4fl0 points lower,
the extreme loss being confined to two or
three of the near posttlr-ns. Sale were re

CATTLE There were about twenty-one
cars reported this morning, but cignteen
were consigned direct to local packet's, so
there were not enough on sale with wulch
to make a test ot tne market. For tne
week" receipts have been light, there be
ing a ducreust as compared wild last we-k
amounting to auoui S.uoo head and as com
pured wltn the same week of lust year tha
aecreaae was about the same. With a
fairly liberal demand the tendency . of
prices has been decidedly upwtirii On, all
KTh're has been a liberal sprinkling of
cornfea steers In the offerings all tba week,
but evidently there were not enougu to
meet the requirements of the traue, as
prices ruled strong practical: y all the week
and a net gain as compared with the close
of last wci k amounting to l'4(2oo is noted.
The demand seems to be greatest for well
finished heavy cattle and least for com
mon light cattle. The pretty good grades
of cattle and the choice ones have shown
the moat Improvement. Good to choice
cornfed steers may be quoted from $0.60 to
$6; fair to good, $5.0U(&5.60; and the com
mon to fair, from $4 to $4.90.
For the time of year the supp.y of west
ern gras beef Bteers has been very light,
and with a fairly liberal demand the mar
ket has improved, if anything, more thau
In th case of cornfeds. As a general
thing the market Is right around a quarter
higher for the week, some kinds being a
trifle more than that and others not quite
so much. The pretty good grades have
shown the most improvement. The bulk
of the steers now sell from $3.25 to $1,
with common stuff from $3.26 down, and
strictly choice from $4 up.
There was a better demand for butcher
stock last week than at any time since the
beginning of the etrlke, and with moderate
receipts values moved upward at a rapid
rate The advanco for he week amounts
to 25g50c. ,As would naturally be expectel
with such a rapid advance, there Is con
siderable unevenness, but all kinds have
improved. There is some demand for
canners and cutters, but still the cull for
that class Is limited. Most everything be
ing offered comes from the western ranges,
very few cornfeds being offered. Some
thing choice In the way of cornfed cows
would probably sell from $3 to $3.o0, while
choice heifers might reach $4 or a little
better. The bulk ef the grass cows sells
from $2.25 to $2.75, with choice grados at
$3 or a little better, and canners and cut
ters from $1.75 to $2.26.
Bulls have Improved to some extent dur
ing the week In sympathy with the advance
In steers and cows. Cornfeos are scarce,
but sell from 83 to $3.50 while grassers go
all the way from $1.76 to t2.W. V
calves have not changed much and sell
from $4 to $5. .
The supply of stockers and feeder was
more liberal last week than for some time
post and the demand from the country
also showed much Improvement. As a re
sult an active and stronger market was
experienced until the close of the week,
when the same as usual, there was some
weakness. As compared with the close of
Inst week, however, there Is a net gain of
loaiSc. Good to choice grades may be
quoted from $3.40 to $3.75: fair to good,
$3 to 33 40, and common stuff, from $3 down,

110O6 Receipts of .hogs this morning
were uot excessive, apd wuh a fair aemanu
tne market wus In quite a batifciactoiy con
dition, owing to the tact tnat there were
scarcely two spots in the market yesterday
that were exactly alike, p riots Jumping
up and down at a rapid raie, li .s rather
hard today to make comparisons, 'iho
average ot all the hugs soid today, how
ever, is just about the m aa yeaterday's
average. Uood ahlpplng hogs sold to the
Kuat k.ivunime ana could be auoted about
steady with yesterday's best time. They
sold largely trora 3o 27 to $5.36, with a
top at o.3i The top load averaged 211
pounds. Heavy nogs were ramer nngieciea
lcuiarlv If they were lacklna in
quality. Such kinds were only about steady
wltn yesieraay morning, ur a nine lower
than tho beat time yesterday. They went
from 1&.1& to $5.24,. with an occasionally
choice load at $5.26. Mixed hogs sold mostly
from V.a to ti-.i-- irauing was lairiy
active on all but the heavy hogs, so that
ih hulk of the offering waa dlsnosed of in
good season. The cios. though, waa rather
slow ana weaa, particularly on aeavy
welghta.
For the week receipts show an Increase
over last week, amounting to about 9.000
head, and as compared wltn the same
wMk ot laot year there la an Increase of
about 6.000 head. In spite of the liberal run
the tendency or pricei na oeen upward
and a net iraln for the week of 10c is nntrri
This ha carried prices to the highest point
reached since early In July. Representative

011 t-t-r 1 nei were about sx cars of
Wyoming wetners on sale this" morning
that brought Moo, which was considered
good, stendy pr.ee. for the week receipts
nav been the heaviest of any time since
the beiiiiidug ot tne strike, and In spue of
that tact there did not seem to be any
too many for packer and feeder buyers to
handle. As compared with last week there
Is ui lnciettw in supplies amounting to
over 32,OOu head and as compared with the
same week of last year the increase
amounts to about 9.UO0 head. 1- rom this It
would seem that the sheep market Is again
normal.
There baa been very little change In the
market on sheep and lambs all the week.
On Wednesday, with over 17,000 head on
sale, packers took ndviintago of the op
portunity to pound the market to some ex
tent, but they put It back on Thursday, so
that the market Is Just about steady for
the week, with the domnnd In good shape.
Feeder buyers have been on tho market
in large numbers ami in fact the mipplv
of good stuff has not been sufficient to
meet the demand. Common stuff mny be
neglected to some extent, but even that
rlas has sold without a grat deal of
trouble. Price In force st the close of the
week are fully as good as those paid a week
ago.
