NEBRASKA SKETCHES.
The Valley of tfle Hem-aba.
( Correspondence of tba BEE. )
HUSIBOLDT , RICHARDSON Co. , 1
KEB. , Oct. 10th , 18 4. J
The Valley of the emaha has
been very noted for its extreme fer
tility , but we were quite unprepared
met our
for the fccenes which here
view. We expected to see log
outs predominate as
houses and dug
we traveled westward up the valley ,
but we were agreeably disappointea ,
for there is not in .Nebraska a district
where orchards , groves , and fine
residences are more numerous. "We
saw plenty of log houses now used
for stables , and root houses that once
their former inhabitants
were dug outs , but
habitants are now occupying more
cozy quarters This shows true pro
gress. The mushroom days are past ,
and the hardy pioneers are begin
ning to enjoy the fruits of their toil.
The corn here is , however , this year
an entire failure. jSfrasahopperdand
drouth combined have left nothing
that will pay for picking. The
wheat is an average crop. Oats are
rather poor.
Fifteen miles west of Falls City ,
on the Atchison & Nebraska rail
road , is the village of Uawson's
Mills. Four years ago there was
not a house hcrenow ; there is a neat
little town'with three general stores
and a drug store in course of erec
tion. Buildings are going up every
where , and the enthusiastic villa
gers told us they would have a city
here yet. Hosford & Chitteuden are
the pioneers of the town , and keep
a general assortment of goods , inclu
ding everything marketable. Mr.
J. L. ifead is the postmaster , aud as
jovial a gentleman as " , ever fetamped
a letter. Ho keeps ft store also ,
wljere he retails'everything you pan
think of , jokes included. Mr , E. B.
Webb has just oppijed yp a neat lit ?
tie store , and Js getting a fair share
of uustora. "The Village Black
smith" Is Mr. Paniel Tyuorand we
should judge by his massive arm
that he had swung the bledgo for
many ft year. Mr. J. B. Wade is a
wagon maker , who , like a true pioneer
neer , has for some Uqie past been
content to live In a shed puilt on to
his shop , but now he is erecting ona
of the neatest cottages. In town. All
otler trades are as yet unrepresen
ted , aud to young men wishiug to
go to work for themselves , we say ,
"Go Wi5t ( young man , go west , " tp
Dawson's Mills , and "grow up with
the country. " From here we went
went on up the valley to Humboldt.
which is an important business cen
ter of this part of the country. It is
situated in the western part of Rich
ardson county , and on the line of
the Atchison & Nebraska railroad.
Its water-power , which is too little
valued , could , if properly utilized ,
run half a dozen manufactories in
addition to the two flouring mills
now In operation. Within one mile
pf the town theie are quarries of
fine limestone , which has been used
extensively , ijut there is enough
left to build a dozen , cities. The
Humboldt High School is considr-
ed to be one of the best conducted
educational institutions in the State.
Prof. 8 , P. Boyd , A. B. , with five as-
sistante , constitute the faculty.
Humboldt has one of the greatest
architectural curiosities we have
seen anywhere a sort ot Noah's
Ark. It is of massive proportions ,
three stories high , but it looks as if
it had been originally a one story
building , and then , as 'everything '
else progressed , it took a start and
"pfrewup with the town , " a story
at a time , each addition quite the
reveise In shape and appearance
from the one that preceded it. In
side it is as curious as on the outside.
Mr. W. H. Ktearns is the Noah of
tliis ark and he has aix stores or de
partments in the building. In one
place he sells groceries , in another
clothing , and so on to the end of
the list , even including the drug
business and a watchmaker's shop.
There are two flouring mills here ,
one of which , the Humboldt Mills ,
is run byJoeGlasser , a former Oma-
hainn. His miller is Mr. K. H.
Spencer , a man who has been thirty-
two years in the business and has
the name of making better flour
than can be produced in any of the
fourteen mills on the Nemaha river.
"Spence" IS a uenius and is one of
Dee Miller's "old settlers. " Ho once
owned the entire tract of land south
of the U. P. depot , which is now
the princely domain of theKouulzes.
He also had a half interest in the
Plattsmouth town Bite ; but he con
sidered a few corner lots in Bellevue
worth more than Omaha or Platts
mouth , which then had but little
existence excepting on paper , so he
traded and the result is that Mr.
Spence Is rich in nothing now but
reminiscences of the past. That ,
however , was a mine to us , aud af
ter listenlngfor an hourto the "ways
that are da k and tricks that are
vain" of the old time politicians ,
who kept Nebraska's capital on
wheels in order to fill their pockets ,
we oame to the conclusion that the
politicians of to-day are honest men
compared with those ancient legis
lators. R. H. Spence could have
thrown much light on that famous
libel question and It is a pity that
he was not a witness in the suit.
One of the best general stores In
town is that of Frazler & Labal.
Their place of business is too small
for the immense trade which they
have. Captain Enoch is the agri
cultural man of Humboldt , and he
also keeps a first-class boarding
house and Is fond of telllngjolly sto
ries of the old times when he was a
captain of a company of Indian
fighters. Mr. F. W. Samuelson Is
one of the rising men of Humboldt ,
and has the reputation of being one
of the shrewdest men in Richardson
county , and we believe it Mr.
Samuelson is a hardware merchant
and banker , aud if he Is not before
many years one of the richest men
in this part of the country , it won't
be on account of somebody having
fooled him out of his money. Mr.
M. E. McDowell keeps a good res
taurant , confectionery , &o. Mr. E ,
F. Buser is the photo artist who
catches the shadow ore the substance
fades.
E. F. Patrick , M. D. , practices his
profession , and is also agent for the
Florence sewing machine. He told
us that ho had all that he could at
tend to , and judging from what we
saw we should say he had. The
doctor Is a genial gentleman , and
ought to have a good partner to as-
slsthlm. .Doctor , how about that
bill at Minis' ?
The principal dress-making and
millinery establishment is kept by
Mrs. A. P. Smith. Mr. John
Klossner repaired our saddle and
done it well , consequently" , we be
lieve him to be a good harness-
maker. Mr. beth W. Beals-is one
of the leading men of-the county ,
and will undoubtedly be a member
of the next legislature , as , ho has
the nomination of the Itepublioan
garty. Mr. Beals is ajustice of the
peace , real estate agent , and dealer
In agricultural implements. Mr.
_ \y. W. Turk is. a druggist , who
keeps a large stock of medicines , but
we took more interest in his cigars.
They are good. Mr. J. M. Brock-
man keeps a grocJetySstore , where
he docs a lively business. Acker-
man & Houston are catlle , dealers
and butchers. Mr. H. HK _ Smith
keeps a general store. He is a
genial , clever gentleman , ami-has a
host of customers. Mr. E. P.
Tucker has a vast quantity of lath ,
shingles , doors , sash , building ma
terial , &c. , constantly on hand. His
trade is large and constantlyou the
increase.
Earley , Sherer & Stone are also
extensive lumber dealers , Shaving
houses in Humboldt , Salem and
Atchison , Kansas.
The best assortment of furni
ture we have seen in this coun
ty is kept by Mr. C. M. Whitcomb ,
who has just moved into an elegant
store on the west side of the public
square.
We are stopping at the Humboldt
House , kept by Mr. C. J. Tinker.
It is quiet and homelike , with very
leasonable charges , which is a mat
ter of importance these hard times.
There is a good livery stable attach
ed to the house.
Humboldt has two good elevators.
One of them especially , merits our
attention. It was built by the
Humboldt Patrons of Husbandry.
The arrangement of the machinery
is the most perfect that we have
ever seen , and reflects great credit
on Mr. X > . IV. Sowle , who designed
and superintended the construction
of everytning about it. The cost of
the building was only $4,000 ,
although it has capacity for 20,000
bushels of grain. Mr. George G.
Start , the manager-is.a gentleman
who has had many years experience
in handling grain. - V
Humboldt looked as it is by erie o
the richest and best cultivated
farming districts to be found agy-
where , it is certainly highly favored - ?
ed , but unfortunately for Omaha ,
almost the entire trade of south
eastern Nebraska goes toj3t. Joe.
Jsow if Omaha had direct railroad
connections with the country , the
present state of affairs would be re
versed.
The Trunk railroad is being built ,
but that alone will never bring to
Omaha the millions of money
which flows from this rinh county ;
but let the capitalists of Omaha
with theli usual energy and fore
sight , take hold of this matter and
build a feeder to the Trunk road.
When suoh a road Is built , running
from Kansas City to Nebraska City
or Brownville , then this territory
( the richest in Nebraska ) will trade
with Omaha , its natural market.
Politips attract very little atten
tion here outside of a few office
seekers. A reform candidate , the
Rev. E. B. Sterlin , advertised the
town and sent drummers to bring
in a crowd and then rung his little
bell repeatedly and by eight o'clock
got twenty-three men to listen very
impatiently to a raging denuncia
tion of everything in general and
Roberts in particular. There was
but little attention and no enthus
iasm , and the only one satisfied
with his sentiments was himself.
Some one told us how this same
Revrened gentleman had allowed
politics to getiutohis muscle to such
an extent that in a neighboring
town he made an attack on the Rev.
J. H. Griffiths , who unceremonious
ly denounced the political preacher.
Humboldt has a tip-top Brass Band
| I , and as its gentle notes which are
now floating in at my window have
a tendency to woo the drowsy god ,
wo will bid you al } good njght , ant , }
retire to our virtuous couch.

Oar Teonmssh Letter.
TECTJSISEH , Neb. , Oct. 15 , ' 74.
EDITOR BEE :
Tecumseh has been in a muddle ,
politically , for some time , and as the
town has not been overrun with po
litical meetings- the voters of the
town and county around have not
felt that interest politically that
many others have , notwithstanding
it is a Republican county and will
poll a heavy Republican vote on the
13th of October. Persuant to ap
pointment ; General Roberts aud
Colonel Vandevoort arrived on the
evening train from the south , when
they were welcomely received and
notice was soon given that they
would speak at the Court House.
At an early hour , notice having
been given through the county ,
many from the country came in to
hear the champion speakers and the
much persecuted1 General Roberts.
When the time arrived the speakers
repaired to the hall , where the seats
were filled and the Deoplo eagerly
awaiting the hour , when Mr. John
Wilson was called to the chair and
introduced General Roberts , who
opened his speech with that pleas-i
ant style with which he is usu
ally accustomed. He was not
Ion ? ; however , in telling the people
what his mission was , and the Issues
of the day. He made that Impres
sion upon the voters which will tell
the day of the election. We had
one of his best speeches , which was
heartily received by all who were
present. The Colonel followed In
hs | usual pleasant manner , and
brought to bear some stubborn facts ,
which would Induce the voters on
next Tuesday to vote the straight
Republican ticket. The speech was
very pointed , seasoned occasionally
with a few of those social jokes ,
which kept the audience eager to
hear the conclusion. The speeches
were truly Interesting , and gave
good satisfaction to the audience ,
notwithstanding the fact that the
speakers had become almost tired
out by the tedious and fatiguing
campaign. ADD.
Telegraphic Luxuries.
The telegraph In this country Is a
luxury that only rich men and cor
porations can aflbrd to use. For or
dinary business purposes the rates
are too high. The dispatch eats up
the profit The great drag on the
newspaper enterprise of the country
is the expense of telegraphic com
munication ; and this mill-stone is
kept fastened on the neck of the
young giant by the Press Associa
tion , which endures the extortions
of the telegraph monopoly only be
cause It can indulge In the luxury
of a smaller monopoly on Its own
account.
But while wo are sweating and
groaning under the burdens of tills
bad system it is refreshing to know
that its operations are confined to
this country. On the continent of
Europe telegraphing Is very cheap.
A day or two ago we gave Mayor
Medlll's testimony as to the tele
graphic system of Germany , where
the lines are owned and ope
rated by the government Mr.
Smolley bears the same testimony
In regard to the telegraph system of
England. The ordinary rate for a
press telegram between two places
in the kingdom used to be a shil
ling for twenty words , address free.
After the government took the tele
graph lines under Its control it re
duced the rates to a hundredcwords
for a shilling. The whole of Pro
fessor Tyndall's address , occupying
eight and a half columns in the
London Timcsr was bent to that pa
per by telegraphjj'at an Immense
cost , " we are told. But this feat ,
which that paper celebrates as "one
of the wonders of journalism , " cost
about $50 m gold. The same ad
dress sent through the cable to this
country would have cost us about
$2100"in gold.
The Herald has often paid $500 ,
and sometimes twice that sum fora
simple cable'dispatch. Some of the
tribune's dispatches during the
Franco-German war cost still larger
sums. Even our local telegraph
bills often mount up to a height that
throws the boasted enterprise of the
London Times into the shade. The
Chicago Iribune paid some $600 for
its telegraphic copy of Moulton's
statement. This shows the crush
ing weight under which our Ameri
can journalism struggles to main
tain itself. The telegraph monopo
ly doubles the price of dispatches ,
and its exactions are supported by
the Associated Press , because it is
also a monopoly and can practice a
little extortion on its own account.
And the press of the country put up
with the infliction out of sheer tim
idity , and the fear that any effort
to throw it oft would be followed by
a withdrawal of telegraphic privil
eges altogether. They dare not
even advocate the purchase and op
eration of the telegraph lines by the
government , as in Germany and
England , lest the double monopoly
shall grind them to powder as wheat
betweea the upper aud nether stones
of the mill ,
These facts and figures , given in
one of the Associated Press papers ,
tell their own story. They show the
necessity for breaking the telegraph
monopoly by putting this whole
business in the hands of the govern
ment , where it belongs. This would
reduce the cost of telegraphic com
munication three-fourths and treble
Jhe telegraphic business of the coun-
foy.--Tliis would reduce tbe tele
graph from a luxury , which only
rich men and great corporations can
afford to indulge in , to a great com
mon convenience anil public bene
fit. AW Yorfr Graphic.
Economy for the Winter.
'
tha Now Yorfc Tribune )
The end of September a year ago
inaugurated one of the most curious
reforms which ever took place ! iir
our social history a reform based
at first on neither a reason nor a
principle. Every man began to
economize before he felt any lack of
money , not because he held econo
my to be a virtue , but because he
doubted his neighbor's ' financial cre
dit , just as now he does his religion ,
and for no better cause. Not know
ing what business or speculation to
trust , he resolved to button up what
ever money he might have in his
pocket , am } by all means possible to
keep it there. Economy was for a
while literally the fashion. It was
the proper thing to have "Invested
in the Northern Pacific , and to find
it expedient to contract. " Now ,
when the general distrust and con
traction have made the evil a reali
ty , and economy a necessity , we do
not practice it with such complacen
cy and airy grace.
Just at present , when the summer
holiday Is over and the heads of the
firm or family are planning the
winter's campaign , U the time which
they take to decide how and where
the pinch and tightening shall be
made. In most cases the object is
to make it not where it will be the
least felt , but where the n.oxt door
neighbor will not find it out. Brown
Sliding his shelves full of goojs
which sell too slowly for his needs ,
retains his ornamental platoon of
salesman , but docks the number
and pay of his hands who work out
of sight. His wife cuts down the
wages of hersemptress , dickers with
the washerwoman oy er every week's
bill , but drives as usual in the park
behind her blooded bays and liveried
footmen. The same system of petty
scrimping and ill-judged expendi
ture runs into every class and grade.
The master carpenter's wife , pro
nounced among her neighbor's ' as a
generous housekeeper and ( on
the basis of her dress aud parlor fur
niture ) "a perfect lady , " finding her
allowance cut down one-half , turns
off the poor woman who has sewed
for her , and buys her underwear
readj-mnde , saving enough in this
way to treat herself to a Parisian'
winter dress , a mass of course cloth ,
gaping stitches aud tawdry bead-
work. The sewing woman In her
turn is driven to these ready-made
clothing shops , and will make for
the rest of the year calico wrappers
at 25 cents for each , and other gar
ments In the same proportion. The
female employesof the mills recently -
ly closed or running on half time
crowd the doors where this work is
given out , glad of this poor chance
to escape starvation. The other
chance which offers itself to both
sewing woman and mill-hand , de
cent , faithful domestic service , they
turn from as involving a loss of
caste. The cook or chambermaid
at Brown's , or even the carpenter's
house , is , paid at nearly double the
rates of "sales-ladies" in the smaller
shops. The sales-lady lodges in a
garret and lives on starvation diet ,
while the cook lias at her disposal
all the comfort and delicacies which
her employer can command for him
self. The motive in this madness
lies in the much abused name
of "lady , " and it is tills motive
which accounts for the hundreds of
womed driven , by their own show
ing , to the brothels of New Yorkfor
bread. This appetite for vulgar dis
play aud struggle for sham position
has served the Tribune and all other
social mentors as a never failing
text for years in thels crusade
against the shortcomings of ourJialf
educated classes. It was apparent
enough in the days of lavish ex
penditure , but it is oddly more no
ticeable in the recent attempts at
economy. The man who when in
Europe flings his money about to
the amusement and gain of all
shopkeepers , and when at home.
dares not dispute an extortionate
biH for fear of a suspicion of pover
ty. is the man who in the ' hard
times coming this winter will dock
the wages of his workmen to spend
the money In opera or ball tickets.
Anv appeal to him would bo wasted.
When wealth IH held to bo the sole
qualification to rank or respect , we
are not likely to be willing to betray
our lack of it.
There Is a class of rational and
cultured men and women whom it
may be worth while to remind just
now that the saving of money is not
sometimes the best humanity or
economy. We fall to see the wis
dom of discharging workmen or
servants whcse wagea would amount
to hundreds during the winter
months , and before the winter Is
over subscribing thousands to bene
ficial societies or soup-houses. Nor
is it better policy to deny ourselves
suddenly the comforts and luxuries
upon the manufacture of which the
majority of city operatives depend
for their daily bread. The remarks ,
of course , only apply to the wealthy
class ; but there are none of us who
shouldi not carefully consider how
our small surplus funds could be ex
panded in wages rather than in
alms.
At an eating house in. Fort How
ard , on the Chicago and Nortuwest
ern railroad , the following sign Is
hung up : "All meals taken in this
hall will be seventy-five cents , re
gardless of ntre , business , sex , na
tionality , politics , religion , or previ
ous coiiOiUott of servitude. "
HONEY FOE THE LADIES.
Camilla Urso , the violinist , knows
how to draw a bow.
A Boston girl had ! | aian arrested
for "winking at her" in a Htreet car ,
and he proved that "he had been
blind 22 years. A.
"The honeymoon is all very well , "
said a prudent belle , "but what I
want to see beyond that is the prom
ise of a fine harvest moon. "
A Troy woman got all ready to
elope with a young man , but finding
that he had been eating onions for
supper , she went back to her hus
band.
"Dear me ! " disconsolately said a
rude young girl , "I've forgotten my
handkerchief. Fortunately I havn't
a bad cold ; but I havn't anything
to flirt with. "
Bus to kiss. Re-bus to kiss
again. Blunder-bus two girls kiss
ing each other. Omni-bus to kiss
all the girls in the room. Bus-ter
a general kisser. E pluri-bus unum
a thousand kisses in one.
There lives in California , Santa
Cruz county , a Spanish woman who
is the mother of twenty children ,
none of which are twins ; and in
the Pajaro valley an American who
has brought up a family of twenty-
one ,
Recently two elderly Scotch mai
den ladies of a believing , faithful ,
aud rather superstitious turn , being
from the Heelands , were startled
out of their senses owing to a reve
lation made to them by an old gen
tleman traveling in the same car
riage , as to the history of an air-
cushion which he carried on his lap
with the utmost anxiety lest any
one should touch it. "That air-cush
ion , " ho said to his fellow passen
gers , in a voice husky with emotion
"contains the last breath of my
dead wife. She expired in a fit im
mediately after "blowing it out I
beg ladies , that you will not meddle
with it , "
Jennie June got a hat that turned
up on one side and her husband
criticised it so severely tliat she
wore her old bonnet when she went
'to see the "Sphinx , " audio ! it was
the only one there. Everybody
had on a new hat , and everybody
had it turned up high on the side.
Said herhusband , "Good heavens !
have allithe women gone crazy ? "
"les , " 'replied she , meekly , "and
why can'tl go crasy too ? " "My
dear , " said he\you ( may ; if would
be ridiculoua'to'be ' the only sensible
woman in the world. " So here
after she is going to wear her gray
felt , turned up on one side , in
peace.
