BANNER CASS COUNTY. A Descriptive Letter From One of Her Best Towns. A Thorough K-um of the ttanlucaa In. tereata of LonlirlU nod Somttblog About Her Lending Citizens Jtlrh Kariulug Country mod Many New Farm llousrs Under Court of Construction. Lot'IsviLLE, March 15. (Special to THK News.) Former letters have given facts and figures with truthful deacriptive sketched of different parts of Casa county, and this communica tion will further provo that Cuss is ono of tho moot propuroutt counties in the state. Louisville, by the 1'latte 'river, and with two railways, competi tive linos, namely, the Burlington and Missouri Pacific, is Bituated in a romantically beautiful country, with bills and vales, rivers and rills, and orchards blending with beautiful far-ins, and tall woods stretchine out with the winding Platte. On emin ancics, imposing str uctures stand, and between guarding heights Louisville redta, with brick blocks, and frame blocks, and new buildings going up, and constant travel on tho main thorouehfaro extending from depot to depot. Pour transfer wagons are kept busy hauling merchandise and drummers' trunks, and tho young men make good money. They indi viaunlly have cleared from 80 to $110 a month, and ono who has d rayed for some time is now in trenoral mercantile business with a $4,000 stock. Tho Burlington railwaj freight re ceipts for merchandise brought in runs from $000 to $800 a month, and it imported forty cars of coal and twenty four cars of lumber last year, and shipped 111 cars with grain. By the Missouri Pacific were forwarded 220 carloads of grain, and seventy-five cars of live stock, and 2,400 cars with sand. Merchandise averages $700 freight receipts per month, coal sixty cars a season and lumber about thirty The Louisville region is rich in fire clay, which is shipped extensively and brings $2 a ton, and fire sand brings $1. Captain J. T. A. Iloover laid out Louisville in 1870, the plat being 170 acres, of which one-fifth is still vacant, and owned by the Burlington and the heirs of Fred Hoover (the captain's late brother.) Captain became first postmaster, opened a store, and started the pottery and brick business, and so the present bustling pretty town got its start. Captain camo to the states from Germany in MB fought with the gallant Fifty-Eighth Ohio, (ex-Governor Thayer, general,) and came right here in '63. He is a genial good soul, and member of Springfield Post. G. A. R. That Louisville is in a good farming country is further adduced in the fact of Herman Pankonin having sold $10, 000 worth of machinery and vehicles in 1898. The Bank of Commerce occupies a $5,000 building of brick, atono and plate glass. The deposits amount to $56,000, and It is safe in the haven of public conildence, and is noted for security and dispatch. The president, Tom E. Parmele, although not the founder, is unquestionably the father of Louisville's prosperity. Every enterprise has been aided by his fertile brain and generous purse. He is the mayor of Louisville, partner in the Louisville Milling company, also of the Stutor & Parmele Brick works, president of the Plattemouth Mutual Insurance company, and head of other industries numerous. The Bank of Commerce is elegant internally as well as externally, and contains a splendid library, and all the leading magazines are taken the-e, Mr. Parmele and Mr. George II. Wood, the cashier, being great readers and admirers of the best literature. George II. Wood has, as cashier, been associated with the bank for three year9, and for five years theretofore was a successful peda gogue. He is a graduate of the Fre mont Normal and the Omaha Commei -cial college, and is by inherent right a gentleman, and by ability in the front rank of this region's business men. The Louisville Roller Mills (Tom E. Parmele and C. A. Richey. proprie tors,) have a capacity of fifty birrels of flour, and the exchange trade averages seventy-five bushels per day. They ship to towns pnd villages over Cass and neighboring counties. The Louisville Lumber yards at the Missouri Pacific station carry about 300,000 feet of lumber, and handle about twenty -five car loads of coal and supply a big territory of country. In the list of new buildings in course of construction and soon to bo is a two story brick residence for Frank H. Stander, the Murdock banker. The building measures 36x36, and beiog on a farm, will have spacious and beauti ful grounds. James Terrybury is building a house of stone. It will be two stories, 34x34, with 18x10 addition, and will be located seven miles south east of Louisville. Dan Andrews has a big new barn, as has alto Charles Fetzer. Tom Coleman Is building a small houi-e three miles north, and Henry Heil, eieht miles east, is build- inc an addition 14x16. In town, E. L. Palmer is constructing a store building 24x70, and Tom E. Parmele a two story brick store, 26x60 feet op erations to begin about April 1. There is not an empty house in Louisville, and cottages are needed. The owners of the lumber yards are C. A. Richey and Frank Dieksrn, live business men and humming citizens. The former is in the nftlling company, owns a nice residence, is a K. of P., also grain agent with 10,0OC-bnshel elevato-. In 1698 he handled 110,000 bushel of grain. He is a native of Iowa, came to Nubrnskit in '81, and is as popular in PlattsmOul h nnd Omaha as he is It in Louisville. Frank Dick eon is a Pennsyl vanian who camo in tho oarly 80's to El in wood, and was an efficient and popular county clerk for two terms, then joined with Mr. Richey. Ho is also a K. of P. and public spirited gentleman. Besides from the farming country, Louisville receives grc it impetus to trade by the two extensive quarries located a few miles distant, and L. Boedeker has great trade therefrom. hi market wagon delivering from twenty-five to thirty beeves a month, and ho is now shipping to Omaha irora one to two cirs oi uruntera a week. When K. A. Jacobson camo from Sweden In 'H.S, he labored in the quar ries, became foreman, then quarry man ager at Auburn. Ho is now manager for the IulT (train company rind handled about 100,000 bushels in '98. In he became merchant in com pany, and in ''.JJ went it alone. Ho now has $7,500 worth of goods in his handsome two story btono and brick building which cost him $2,500. Ho is now Rchool treasurer and a promi nent citizen, and thus "from small acorns great oaks grow." Marian J. Ruby came hero twenty years ago, was carpenter, ran a dray, rushed business and economized. Ho lately became partner in the firm of R. T. Rochford & Co., dealers in hardware, furniture, groceries and produce, occupying tho corner across from the bank; main building 2!xG0, new warehouse 22x30, and more room is needed. " R. T. Rochford came from Wisconsin to Omaha in 18S6, and has been here in tho hardware business sioco 185)3. He is recognized as Mr. Ruby is a rusher in business and sd cially genial and refined, and they aro patronized extensively. W. C Doriey came in '67 as a youngster to Linwcod, Neb., from Il linois, lie graduated at a business college in 7t)0. Ho came here in VJ3 and clerked until last August,when he became a hardware merchant and dealer in furniture; now has a $2,000 stock, and supplies farmers as far as Murdock. He is an M. W. A., is town clerk, and a highly respected business man and citizen. Mike Tritscb, a native son of Cass county, has a jewelry department stock in the Dorsey establishment, and he is a born mechanic and expert jeweler. His father, Jacob Trit&ch, who came to Csss county is '67, is on the old place yet. Louisville is having first-class rail way agents. J. P. Ellis, the Missouri Pacific agent, came here eighteen years ago, and is regarded very highly as a business man, a citizen, and n pioneer. On the 15th of February Marvin Patterson took charge at the B. & M. station. Ho came from B3II wood, where the citizens were sorry to los"5 him. The writer has known him as one of the most capable and pleasant men on any road. Louisville is noted for its bills of fire, but a visit to Miles N. Drake's tables makes the epicure at peace with all the world, and he, in reminiscent mood, tbinks of Dolmonicos and the days when he was rich. THE LECTURE WAS WELL TAKEN- Dr. Stratton Olves An Able Address Under Ansplces of Jr. O. I. A. M. Frora Wednesday's Daily. Dr. Siratton's ieclure in White's hall last evening was enthusiastic illy received. The audience was largo, considering the very inclement weather. His theme was "The Dan gers That Threaten Our Country and Some of Its Remedies." He said these daneers were of iwo kinds from within and from without. From the latter he thought we were practically free.- While appreciating that we have many, perhaps, within, the doc tor takes an optimistic view of the situation, believing the American people ready to meet the emergencies. He believes in both an intellectual and a property qualification for the elective franchise. In support of the property qualification he said, were it required, every boy or j-oung man would, by industry and economy, ac cumulate the amount required to make him a legal voter. He is a stroug be liever in civil service reform. While he is willing to leave the matter of the retention of the Philippines to congress and the people, he advocates commercial expansion, and empha sized the wonderful opportunities.and advantages of carrying on an exten sive trade with the orient. The address from b.ginning t: end was such as inspires one to want to do more for home, country and humanity. Ex-Plattsnioathlan's Good fortune. From Thursday's Daily Word was received yesterday m Dry ing from Washington stating that Alex Scblegel wouid leave that city Thursday and sail from New York Friday for Ponce, Porto Rico, on a mission for the secretary of war. Mr. Scblegel will be gone at least two months on this mission. He is well known in this ciiy. He was formerly state draughtsman in the land commis sioner's office, and has of late been in the office of the secretary of war at Washington, assisting in making up some reports. No word has been re ceived as yet. as to the nature of the work Mr. Schlesrel is to perform. The recognition of Mr. Schlegel's abilities by Assistant Secretary of War Meikle- john is a compliment to the man, and his many friends will be glad to hear of his jrood fortune. Mr. Scblegel has resided in this city since 1S89, coming herefrom Brown county. He formerly resided in Pxattsmoutb. -State Journal. Charles Sheeley returned to Lincoln this morning after ii specting the new bridge west of Mynard, in ?o rum iciiipn p.. 1 ,ii.n. if 1 uu vnuu 1 11 n Ills Fate Is Now In the Hands of the Jury. Testimony la Very Kevoltlng" aud Token Vp Much Time WltoeMri From Yarl- ou r'urta of the Htate Were Examined mill Their Tvatluiony Indicated That lie In Insane. From Wednesday's Daily. Tho trial of George P. Hughes, charged with criminal assault, which was commenced yesterday, was con cluded this evening und tho case given to thojury. The testimony was revolting in the extreme and would indicate that if the defendant is not insane, imprisonment for life would be proper punishment for his olTenso. The complaining wit ness, Miss Zella Thomas, (now Mrs. Kettiehut) testified explicitly as to the defendant's assault and was corrobor ated by admissions made by the de fendant to Constable Lewis, who placed him under arrest. Th assault was committed in a pub lic hotel, in the day time, and al most in the presence of the family. The defense is that the defendant is insane, and I).-s. Cassel of Hastings and Williamson of Humboldt testified that in their opinion the defendant was insane, having been acquainted with him for some time. Rev. Wight and Rev. Foleom of Hastings and Rev. Meek of Humboldt testified to tho same effect, having had some acquain tance with the defendant. Mrs. Jones of Hastings and also tho mother, brothor and sister of the defendant testified as to acts of the defendant which would Indicate that ho had b3en insane at times for years past. Drs. Hall, Cook, Cummins and Humphrey were alto called and examined upon hypothetical questions, and their tes timony seemed to confirm the theory of the defense that the defendant was insane. The acts of the defendant can hardly be explained upon any theory of sanity, without setting him down as one of the most bruta". and de praved beings running at large. While the jury may acquit the de fendant of the crime as charged, yet his insanity seems to be of that char acter that ten to fifteen years in the penitentiary might do him more good than a few months treatment in the asylum.
