A member of one of our heaviest mer
cantile firms told us that they were sell-
ins more than double the amount of
goods they had done at any time since
they had been in business in the city.
Their business will "more than double"
again inside of three months.
BRIDGE SI KVEYH
Are being made all about rocky point,
and the probabilities are that the work
will be commenced this winter. The ex
pense of bridging the river at this point
will be one-Jialf less than at any other
point on the river below Sioux City. A
draw can be put in with perfect safety
A CHEAT MARKET
Will be built up in l'lattsmouth, imme
diately. The B. & M. R. R. being the
only road reaching out into the great
grain producing regions of Nebraska.
The rich products of the soil will be
brought to thi5city for shipment either
to the east, west or south.
ORAIX ELEVATORS
Are needed in this city right away. Will
some enterprising firm see the money
there is in the coastmction of a drain
Elevator in this city and "reach out" for
it? One year from this fall will witness
more grain handled in the city of Platts
mouth than there is in any four towns of
the State now.
1J( TESTN.
The nidi Hr Platt-inouth has been so
great since the letting of the contract to
build the railroad that every house is
filled and people are living in tents in
some parts of the city. This will not
Iat long, however; lumber and brick are
too plentiful, ami men like money too
well to miss getting high rents.
The platform of the recent Republican
Convention of Mississippi embraces free
speech, free schools, and free ballot-box,
equally before the law, the ratification of
Article XV. of the Federal Constitution,
universal amnesty, and universal suf
frage. The convention is said to have
been constituted of the ablest men in the
State.
KEIUIITET MIXED.
There is nothing like doing a good job
of puffing, but it is quite essential to
make all parts of the story correspond.
We learn from the Ar-tc of Monday that
the grading contract on the .Midland
Pacific had not been let yet," but that

commence unntfiliitcly
m. ni.oon, ESQ.,
Of Iowa City, was in our place last week,
and purchased one of the best business
lots on Main street, upon which he pro
jk)scs to erect, immediately, a fine three
ftory brick, which he will fill with goods.
Mr. Bloom is a brother of the well known
Bloom of Council BIufTs, who has done
go much for that place, and we congratu
late our citizens upon the fact that Mr.
Bloom has interested himself with them
in the success of the place. lie has am
ple means at command, and will never
regret his purchase here.

best route that is possible for a road to
traverse to the interior. The road fol
lows a water course for full aeventy-fivc
miles, with a maximum grade of twenty
feet to the mile. Ts there another line
the United States that can beat that?
What would be the chances of a road
with a seventy or eighty foot grade along
side of this line ? Which one would le
likely to carry the freights?
XETTEH FKOJI ILLINOIS.
Mr. James A. Buck, writing from
Peoria county, Illinois, says : In conse
quence of the long continued rains the
farmers are becoming quite discouraged.
Corn will bo almost a failure in these
parts. Whe it is rotting in the head,
and will not be harvested. In the month
of June we had thirteen days rain; in
July we have had six days rain. On
the 1 7th of this month we had a flood.
It seemed as if the t-Ljuds opened and
let the rain down in torrent. The rain
that day did this county a great damage.
On the stream called the Kiekapoo there
were several good bridges washed away,
to replaeewhich will cost the county a
Urge sum of money. Corn is selling for
cents, and will soon bring $1 per
bushel, as it: is very scarce. Fruit, such
as apples and cherries, are plenty. The
rr.la!readv are complaining of their
prtatoes retting very badly. Taking all
things into cosidcratiou, the people in
tbw community will have hrd times

At the invitation of the Republican J
"tatc Committee of -Ohio, General
Churl has consented to devote a part of
the time until October to canvass in that
State, as appears from a statement in a
Cincinnati paper. At present the Sen

REAL. ESTATE.
In this city has advanced somewhat with
in the past two weeks,' but we are pleas
ed to know that property owners gener
ally have discouraged and prevented any
great advance. Property can be had in
Plattsmouth to-day at much less figures
than in any other city of the same ex-
r pec tat ions on the Missouri river. Now
is the time to buy. Property will not
always remain at present prices.
CHARLES E. PERKISS,
Superintendent of B. & M. R. R., ar
rived in our city last Friday, and remain
ed until Tueeday looking after the inter
ests of the Company. He is a heavy
stockholder in the organization in this
eity, and has done much towards hasten
ing the building of the road west to F:.
Kearney. Mr. Perkins is a man young
in years to have charge of so great an en
terprise as the B. & M. R. R.
THE IMPORTANCE
Of Plattsmouth as a commercial centre
can hardly be estimated when we look at
the great agricultural region that will le
drained by the B. & M. R. R. in Nebras
ka within the next year. Just take one
Colton's Sectional Maps of Nebraska and
examine it. The counties of Cass, Saun
ders, Lancaster, Butler, Seward, Saline,
Poll, York, Filmore, and all that rich
country lying along the headwaters of the
Big and Little Blues, the Sandys and the
Republican river, all will te accommo
dated by the B. & M. R. R. in Nebraska,
and Plattsmouth will be the river base
for this entire region. Can all the pow
ers that it is possible for our enemies to
mnster be made to prevent the building
of a large city here, if we are only true
to ourselves and look after our own inter
ests? We venture the assertion that no
railroad in the world drains a richer
country than the B. & M. R. R. in Ne
braska. It may be thought by some
that other roads will sap this trade, and
that other points than Plattsmouth will
derive benefit therefrom. We admit
that other roads will reach out to this
rich country? and that other towns will
receive benefit therefrom ; but look again
at your map. and you will find that the
B. &, M. R. R. follows a water course all
the way from Seward count- to Platts
mouth. and her maximum grade ie only
twenty feet to the mile. It is imjKssi
ble for any other road to reach this re
gion with anything like this low a grade;
consequently the B. & M. 11. R. must
always do the bulk of the business, no
matter how many roads lead in there,
and Plattsmouth will always be the great
base of supplies for this fertile country.
SOMETHING ABOl'T ECLIPSES.
Friend Hathaway: As wo are to
have an eclipse in a short time, I send
you an article on the subject, mostly
made up from an old book in which such
occurrences are noted down.
That work refers to an eclipse of the
sun in the year B. C. 55 as the first on
record among the nations of Europe.
Another one is spoken of in the year B.
C. 424, and a total one occurred in the
year B. C. 1S8 ; and in the year A. L.
201 one took place that occasioned total
darkness at noon at Rome. One was
observed at Constantinople in 964; and,
in France, one that produced total dark
ness by day in 1033. One is also spoken
of in England, in 1140, and again irr
1191, when the stars were visible at ten
in the morning. Another is recorded in
1331 ; and another, in England, in 1713;
and one in the interior of Europe, cen
tral and annular, in 1820.
These are the most remarkable ones
spoken of by the Europeans, but the
Egyptians claim to have accurately ob
served 373 eclipses of the sun, and 2 5
of the moon, before and down to the
time of Alexander the Great. How
much truth there is in their claim can
not be decided, but as they are much
older in knowledge of that kind than the
Europeans, it is probable that they have
a reliable record hundreds of years
farther back than their northern neigh
bors. In remote times an eclipse was sup
posed to be caused by magic, and the
beating of a drum was considered neces
sary to break the charm. How that
was to effect the object is not certain,
unless the taiMing on a base drum, as
Arteniu styles it, disconcerted the evil
spirit that produced the eclipse. But
the eastern nations, if ahead of their
brethren of the west in fanciful notions
about the cause of the phenomenon,
certainly are not ahead in whimsical
ideas about the consequences attendant
on eclipses. With us, if the season in
which one is to occur is remarkably dry,
it is said to be caused by the eclipse; if
very wet, the eclipse is blamed for it.
Also, if very warm or very cold ; if very
windy or very calm ; if very healthy, or
if the reverse ; or if very anything, the
eclipse takes the credit c the blame.
Here we learn occasionally that our very
heavy rains ware owing to the coming
eclipse; and, as it has cea.sed raining,
the same men-must think the thing has
been postponed. At least orie would
suppose that, if an approaching phe
nomenon could make it storm every day
fr three months in advance, at about
the time the eclipse took place the rain
would lie coining down on us by buckets
full, unless there had been a change of
programme.
But as such men's philosophical theo
ries are generally adopted without any
very convincing logic, we suppose they
can readily drop an old idea and take up
a new notion. So, probably, if we have
two weeks of dry weather immediately
lra?eding the eclipse, they may change
front and say the rain after all was not
caused by the approaching phenomenon,
but that the eclipse put a stop to it ami
brought on the dry weather.

KILLFORD LETTER.
Crops, Iin4ine, Etc.
Millford, Seward Co., Neb., )
July 26, 1869.
Here something like Eden looks,
iloney in woods, julep in brooks
since the late dampness; the only differ
ence being, the juleps have turned to.i
great quantities of muddy water. The
woods still remain, but the honey is
minus.
The Millfordites think they can sur
vive sometime now without rain. Grain
is ripe, and the busy hum of the reaper
is heard on all sides. We think that
Seward county will do a big thing'" in
the way of exporting grain this fall.
Our village presents a lively appear
ance, and is fully up to the times, as
shown by the enterprise of her citizens,
J. L. Davidson is enlarging his grist
mill to three times its former capacity.
When completed it will be one of the
finest mills on the Blue, and Mr. Court
right knows just how to put on the fin
ishing touch.
Doom Si Eatherly are supplying the
farmers with agricultural implements,
while Mcrrian can suit any sized indi
vidual since receiving that new stock of
ready-made clothing.
The material is being hauled for the
Congregational Church.
Blue Mound Lodge No. 22 I. O. of
G. T. proposes to flourish if it is busy
times.
Millford is in need of a hotel. Almost
every house is obliged to take boarders.
It would be a safe and profitable invest
ment for any one desiring to go into the
hotel business to locate here. We are
not too far from Lincoln to become great,

up till last Tuesday, took a
turn, and on that day harvesting the
wheat crop commenced with vigor. In
every direction .now. are extensive fields
of wheat, cut, and in shock, and in many
cases tit for stacking. Should the weath
er continue favorable for another week,
the heavy crops of this section will be
mostly secured. This valley has, since
its settlement ranked high as a wheat re
gion, but the crop this year is superior to
any preceeding one. So far as I have
observed every acre of upland wheat will
yield well, and the low lands, except on
flooded fields, will be extra heavy.
From the excessive rains and cool
weather in the early part of the season
the corn crop was backward, but it is
now improving rapidly, and there is a
prospect of a good crop. The same
weather that retarded the corn will se
cure to us a heavy yield of oats and po
tatoes. The Burlington road is still sending on
hands, and the prospect is that we will
yet have a railroad to ship tho present
crop of produce; with it the farmers will
realize a fine income from the produce of
this year, without it they will find all the
coarser products almost unsaleable, and
their wheat still burdened with the heavy
drawback from transportation to market

WEEPING WATER LETTER.

Wkepixo Water. Julv 2S.
Editor Herald: Sometime ago I
promised you a deuiled account of tha
coal di.seoveries on this creek. BufTwhile
waitins for souiethiiur real to turn up,
3I. Walker reached the bottom of his
drill to find nothing but solid rook.
How they could have drilled a day an 1
a half in "lid coal." where it was "so
solid that you could hear the drill strike
when twenty rods dist.int," or how any
one could have "salted" the hols while
they were at work, is a mystery ii'inj are
able to explain. If a ay one knows of a half
l uhel of coal beitiz put into a shaft, I
should think he would know who put it
in. The W. W. 'Coal Company are still
drilliii, and all are in hopes that they
taaj keep at work uirf il tlu much needed
laincnil is found.
Har"est is at hand, and nearly every
one is disappointed by having better
crops than they expected. Com never
looked better, and if soine one will pro
tect us from that "great frost" tceatwr
propltfts predict at the time of the
eclipse, we fhall have an abundant yield.
But while all are rejoicing in the pros-IK-t
of an abundant harvest, many of our
neighbors are called to mourn the loss of
loved otie.
Four new graves have been made in
our graveyard within two weeks. Mr.
Canaday, one of our oldest settlers, died
f uddenly on Saturday evening, after .an
illness of eight hours.
To-day we learn of the death of an
infant, danrhtcr cd Mr. Ircort-'e Shooj-
man, caused by eating matches. The
facts, as I have them, are these : She
obtained access to the matches by climb
ing upon chair and opening a stand or
table drawer, and before her parents
noticed her she had eaten the phospho
rous from four and one-half dozen
matches. After eating them, she ate
her breakfast, ami they did not think
anything serious had happened until bhe
commenced vomiting. They then
I brought her to Dr. Thomas, only to hear
her case pronounced hopeless, and after
lingering 32 hours in an unconscious state
she expired.
Here is another warning added to the
many now on record to parent, not to
place matches or other poisons in the
reach of small children, for by so doing
they not only endanger the lives of the
children, but also the live. and property
of others. O.

Professor Skinner, of the Dearborn

the coming eclipse:
The et lipse will be vi.-ible throughout
the whole extent of the North American
Continent as a partial eclipse. The
places where it is to be total are confined
to a narrow lteh less than 1 "') miles wide,
extending in a south-easterly direction
across the continent. The partial shad

is shrouded in the deepest mystery. It
is unknown whether he came to his
death by his own hand or by accident.
The "deceased was about 6ixty-five
years of age, and quite in feeble health.
He was in . comfortable circumstances,
his home farm containing about eight
hundred acres of the richest land in Otoe
county, horses and cattle in abundance
and some ready money. He was much
esteemed by his neighbors, and his death
deeply regretted by them.
Jacob DaHnon, Esq.,
Died in Lincoln on the morning of the
22d inst. , in the fifty-fourth year of his
age.
Mr. Dawson was born in Bazetta,
Trumbull county. Ohio, on the 1st of
March, 1S16. He moved to Pittsburg
in 1S45. .and in ls4$, was married to
Editha Jane Ross. The surviving fam
ily consists of the widow and three sons
and three daughters.
In 1848 he moved to McKeesport,
Penn., and there resided until 1851,
when he came west and settled in Fre
mont count j Iowa, In 1854 he moved
to Wyoming, Nebraska. At that place
he acquired an interest in the town-site,
and labored with great energy for a
number of years to make it the leading
point south of the Platte river; and, if he
had been seconded by his co-proprietors
his efforts would have been successful.
He established the Ttlescopt, a weekly
newspaper at Wyoming in the fall of
1856. and published it about two and a
half or three years, and was one of the
first in the West to follow the then new
ly formed Republican party.
Failing in his ambitious efforts to make
Vvoming a great success, and being un
willing to accept theovertures made him,
to unite .his fortunes with his more suc
cessful rivals, who, iX Nebraska Citj-,
had rather persecuted than assisted him,
he moved to Lancaster county, and set
tled upon the present site of Lincoln in
1S63. From the hour of his settlement
at this place, he has ever been full of
faith that he had choseji a point which
would grow up to a city of considerable
magnitude, and he dies, just as every
circumstance surrounding us is indicative
that his predictions are to be fulfilled.
Mr. Dawson has ever enjoyed the con
fidence of his fcllow-cifizens. He held
the office of Postmaster in McKaesport,
Pa., in Dawsonville. Iowa, at Wyoming
and at Lincoln, and has filled the offices
of C
Count v Clerk, Recorder. State Attor- one-fturth cash, one-fourth in one, one

As a business man he was always reli
able, and. although struck down financi
ally by the crash of 1S57, and by other
ill-fortunes prevented from meeting his
obligations at maturity, he struggled
manfully, and at the last goes from us
with even-'obligation fulfilled.
Mr. Dawson luts worn the armor of
the Christian for many vears. and while
we cannot but regret that he is called
from the scenes of the world, just as he
seemed about to gather the fullest fru-i
it'on ot ins ingn :st eartniy hones, we
feel assured that it will lie to him no un
welcome reception to hear the-words,
'.'Weil done ! good and faithful servant,

John W. Saoe. Es.-j., Nebraska City.
Jhur Sir: Messrs. John S. Morrison
and John Mcl'hai! entered to-day. at!
the Beatrice Land Ofto. '2i quarter!
section, or 4.160 acres of land on the j
Little Blue river, in Jefferson County, '
Nebraska, and will i:i a few davs com-
plete the entry of 7 . acres.
These gentlemen represent at present
thirty families, reidin-' in Northern
Michigan, who will settle upon said lands
within a few month.-, and many more
families will join tb colony and settle in
the same locality a-1 soon as Messrs. Mor
rison and MePhail return to Michigan
and report the advantages of the tine ag
ricultural region in which they have lo
cated. .Messrs. Morrison and Mcl'hail have
just completed an extended tour through
Minnessota. Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and
Nebraska, for the imriKse of select ine a
location for the colony they represent,
and after a thorough examination they
have concluded to settle and locate the
colony as before stated, on the Little
Blue Kiver in XebraAa, as being alto
gether the best county they have visited.
They say that immigration to that
part of Nebraska has been greatly dis
couraged and retarded by the erroneous
imprc-ssion which prevails east, of dan
ger from hostile Indians. Reports of
Tl" ,1. . 1
liKiian troubles in that region have been
largely circulated, in sonie cases by par
tie interested in drawing the. emigra
tion in other directions." and in other
cases they are circulated by persons ig
norant of the facts in the case.
There is a large extent of country west
of Beatrice, on the Little Blue and its
tributaries, which is open for settlement,
and in which lands of the very best qual
ity in the world can lie had at home
steads, or for cash at $1.25 per acre, and
which has not been for years past visited
by hostile Indians, and iu all human
probability never will le.

This Little Blue country is where we
proposed to run a railroad south-west
from Lincoln to the Little Blue and
thence over onto' the Republican. We
lielieve it is as fine a country as can le
found in the world. It will be reason
ably well supplied by the building of the
B. & M. R. U. west froru Plattsmouth
toll. Kearney, until such time as the
before-mentioned road is built, connect
ing with the B. & M. B. R. at or near
Linculn.
A DIFFERENCE.
We clip the following from the Ne
braska City Xincs of Monday : .
Between Nebraska City and Platts
mouth we counted fifty-two machines in
operation. This makes a reaper to ev-!
ery naji nine along the roa.J. And this
is tue same road over which manv and
many a time we have followed the Indi
an trail, when between Plattsmouth and
Nebraska City there was not a sin trie
human habitation.
TheTands) between the two cities are
now in a high state of cultivation and
upon them are f-nbsisted hundreds and
thousands of hardy, healthy and happy
fanners.

with the following facts, which we pub

The lands which will be offered for

were all appraised, on actual view, on
the 1st of June last, and will be sold at
the prices annexed, and ujion the terms
named below. The number of acres
which will be sold at the prices annexed
may be seen from the table which we
subjoin

It will be seen that a very large pro
portion of these lands are offered at fig
ures ranging from $2.50 to $4 00 per acre.
They are all within the ten mile limit,
and among the best and most fertile
lands in the State. The lands outside of
the ten-mile limit, and within the twenty-mile
limit, will be appraised and offer
ed for sale hereafter.
The following table will show the num
ber of acres in each of the counties bor
dering on the line of the road, and which
are embraced in the one million acres
now offered for sale :

In addition to these lands about 245,
000 acres are situate in Polk and other
counties, ranging from ten to fifteen
miles distant from the line of the rail
road. These lands will all be sold at private
sale, except in cases where tw? or more
partiesapply for the same tract in which
case the tracts so applied fox will be dis
posed of to the highest bidder.
The terms upon which these lands are
offered are as follows : Four navments
years, with interest at six ier eem. per
annum, payable in advance. Or a deduc
tion of 10 per cent, from the appraised
value for cash.
To persons familiar with Nebraska, it
is not necessary that we should say
that the counties named above are among
the richest and most productive in the
State. The prices fixed seem to us to
be very low. Six hundred and fifty
thousand acres range between $2.50 and
?4 0J ?er MCre' i,01 til"llins? laiK,s
in the fertile valley of the Platte-none
'of them more than ten miles distant from
the railroad, which opens a market for
the surplus agricultural produetions.oth
east and west, which is unsurpassed any
where in the country, the price fixed by
the Company, is. we repeat, very low.
We hope aud believe that thev willlie
J taken up by actual settlers, before the
close of the present
venr. a n-ioi.i
mat tiiesericli ana proiluetive liinus have
at length been thrown into the market.
The fact that they have leeii so lung
withheld from settlement and cultivation
has leen a !eri"ns drawback upon the de
vclopement of the State.

Atwoop Hocse.
Lincoln, Nebraska. July 13, 180..
To the Editor of The Statesman :
Der Sir My object in visiting the
State of Nebraska is, amongst other
things, for the purpose of obtaining a
large tract of eountry for the foundation
of an English Colony, upon which I cor
responded from England with the Hon.
David Butler. I am principally inter
ested in assisting ami giving information
to farmers, agricultural laborers, etc.,
etc, as to the best eountry for emigra
tion ; but I refer more properly to a
middle-ehiss emigration. .
In securing a tract of land it must lie
upon some large, liberal, easy and ad
vantageous terms so as to oiler induce
ments to a well-to-do class of emigrants
to settle either in your owu or any other
State.
For the last few years I have strongly
advocated emigration from England to
the United States, particularly pointing
out the advantages to be obtained for
settlers in the States of Nebraska Mid
Kansas, As regards Kansas I found it
easy to obtain full particulars even while
in rngianu ; nut tne contrary is the ca.e
as regards Nebraska. The object of my
visit is not only to report upon the suit
ability of any large tract of land, but
also to collect such other information as
may be useful in directing a course of
emigration to the most desirable State.
So far as I have seen, your State aii-
pears to me to contain an unlimited area
of some as fine agricultural lands as are
iu the world ; the hidden treasures of the
earth have scarcely yet commenced to be
developed, but it appears whatever may
be required to make ii great State or peo
ple is not wanting. These facts are only
necessary to be proierIy understood by
the over-populated countries of Euroje
and you will secure not only the bone
and sinew, hut the capital, so essential
to develop your vast resources.
It is necessary to open up a well or
ganized sy.-tein of emigration by .which
vou may secure to the future emigrant
his certainty of reaching any given point
upon the most economical" terms ; such
as any firm of high standing and reputa
tion in England issuing tickets per con
tract with the owners of some vessels
leaving the jort of London or eUwhere
and the railway companies in this coun
try, to the most eligible destination
the appointment of an agent or agents
at the port or ports of arrival, and also
at certain cities or temiun of your rail
ways, and thence forwarding direct to
the lands that may be chosen, or to such
arts as may secure to the emigrant a
ionic
These ideas I have undertaken to car
ry out and by which means hope to avoid
lL 1 " ft 1 . j a
tne difficulties and dangers emigrants
have eo ofoen niet with on lumlmcr n
vour countrj. from many rea.son.'j which
I need not explain.
In furtherance of my plan of einieration
I propose at first to establish offices at
Omaha and also in jour city, and to cir
culate extensively throughout Eucoxs
whatever irdbrmation I may receive.
Your Gorernor, the Hon. David But
ler, has promised that if it id possible
within fsriuie short - interval from the
present time he will accompany me to
Rig Blue and thence to the Republican
river, wher; I have no doubt I shall ob
tain most invaluable knowledge.
The difficulties with which I have had
to- cqmiid in obtaining anything' like
accurate information of your State has
been to mfl a. Matter of great surprise.
Reliable statirtics appear to me n?t only
scarcely to hfS Obtained in England, but
I may even ray in the United Stales.
Mv object in writing those few lines is
that I may obtain such assistance as I
am in search or, as also particulars of
any lands or mineral properties that are
for sale, with a view to placing them le-
fore European capitalists and others.
.Were the Homestead Act thoroughly
understood among the working popula
tion of Europe, it would lie the means
of inducing a large emigration. I might
6ay that millions would avail themselves
of its liberal provisions. I shall do all in
my power to make the Act fully known
through agents in the agricultural dis
tricts of England.
Any letters addressed to me either at
Omaha or Lincoln will receive every at
tention. Yours respectfully,
R. C. SfHALLER.
