THE ( XMAIIA DAILY BEE : TUESDAY OCTOBER 25 , 1881. CENTRAL CITY , It Brows From a More Way Sta tion to a Bustling , Thriving Oity , . Ono Bailroad Already There , and the Prospects Good For Two More , . f i. > Morriok County Strongly Republl- can and Anti-Monopoly Odd" . Corrwpcndence of The Bee. OjwrrnAt , CITY , October 22. Before tho'Union Pncific railway entered the Plaito vnlloy Lone Tree ranch was a way station for tlio Overland Stage Company. There wns only one house and no effort was made or thought given , to farming. After the advent of the iron rails Lone Tree , as the station was then called , grow slowly , and the surround ing country gradually settled up. In those early days Edward Parker , or aa ho was commonly called "Lono Tree Nod , " waa the ruler of this section. Parker vis handsome witty and sup ple ; a b/ickii : < ( bronoho or an obstreperous - orous Buffalo was his select amuse ment , and no ono could take bettor aim on shorter notice , and few could drink more whisky and stand straighter than ho. The latter ten dency , however , waa the bane of "Louo Tree Ned , " ana under its influence - fluonco ho lost , wealth , position , and friends , and has now drifted into obscurity. Poor Nedl There is not "an old timer" on these plains that docs not heave a sigh of regret when ho hears the story. ' TUB n. & M. A year ago the pant summer-tho 13. it M. sent one of its branches into Central City ind that caused a boom which .is still booming. Ono of the finest bank buildings in Nebraska waa erected by MotcalfPorsingor , and new blocks , churches , and residences , aroin , course of construction or being contracted. I could hardly recognize in the Cen tral City of to-day tire station of a few years past. There are three times the number of business men here now that wore hero at the time of my last visit , loss than throe years ago. ' K. n. rrto.srKCTH. Two lines of railroad are bettor than ono , and freight rates to CentralCity , since the B. & M. came to compote have boon reduced fully one fourth on Omaha or Lincoln shipments , but there are more lines than ono looking , this way , noUbly the 0. , M. & St. 'P. ' road that has run its preliminary lines from Niobrara with the evident intention of finding the best route to Central City. The throe great roads of Nebraska would certainly make this a central city. CArlTOLS. , Yes , the town isrrightly named for it is not only , a center for railroads ; but it is central , geographically consider ed , for both thostatoof Nebraska and the United Btatos , and , apropos of that fact , it is not out of the way testate state that Central City has a lofty am bition to secure both of those b'onan- . HIS. There are tJn thousand reasons why the United States capitol should "go west" and grow up with the country and help to make the country grow and if Moses Sydonham's Central Star magnet can t ' draw the thing then I'move ' that the powerful intellect of Cox or'that other thn editor-in-chief of mental giant , - - The Courier , bo employed upon this undertaking. Albeit they are modest , shrinking fellows who talk of cheek but have none , yet they might sacri fice their feelings and go and got the capital and carry it over from Wash ington simply to benefit their town and county. MEHJUCK COUNTY LAND8 are now being sold it lower rates than the same kind of land north and south of it , and just why this is can readily bo seen. This section has not received the advertising accorded to the more fortunate surrounding country. Torooiui'iir. With its smooth , level and velvety bottom and Ublo. lands , and graceful , undulating uplands , the landscape of Morriok county presents a most beauti ful and pleasing picture totheoyound forms ono of its chief attractions. A largo proportion of the county ia com posed of bottom and low table landv , covered by luxurious and nutritious grasses , and through which run numer ous streams of pure , living water. With the exception of a line of low bluffs near the Loup river on the north , the , whole country is a vnst valley , whoso surface is smooth and level , al most every foot of which is tillable and ready for the plowman. Bayard Taylor , the eminent traveler oler , author and correspondent , who p * visited nearly every civilized country of the glebe , speaks of , this same sec tion in the following complimentary manner : 'JlTho country is ono of the mosl beautiful I have ever looked upon. I am .more than over struck with the great .difference between this region and that to the coat of the Mississippi. There ia none of the wearisome mon otony of the prairies as in Illinois , or swampy tract * osin Indiana or Ohio. The wide , billowy green , dotted ul ! over with golden Islands of harvest the hollows of dork glittering maize the park-like clumps of timber along the course of the stroauisr those wore the materials which wont to the mak ing up of every Jandscapo , and o which , in their sweet , harmonious pastoral beauty , the eye uovor grows weary. " The above description pictures witl fidelity the upland pr&iros beyond the Plattu Valley. For further particulars about lota or lauds , wild or cultivated , the reader should address N. R. Per ! n ger , U , P. and B. & M , hmdngont , ' TJio , Omaha Sportsman's club u ' their annual hunt invariably HOIK representatives to Mcrrick county am aj \ they have always fared well. Ills nothing uncommon for good sportsmen - men to kill several dozen BCCSO in n day. Ducks , prnirio chickens nnd jack rabbits also abound , the lat ter hunted with greyhounds furnish royal sport. ODDS A.VO ENDS. Central City , having drifted a few blocks eastward from lU old trade cen ter , J. H Bcrryman & Bro have for Iho last few years been practically "out of town. " For twelve years they have been in business on west Front street' , but now they have rolloti under their eloro and they will go east nnd will shortly open out in the heart of town with a bigger stock than ever before. This firm has some farms that wore picked out years hgo , when there was all out doors to select from , and now they have put these farms in the market. I. S. Tyndalo , a gentleman who formerly engineered a yard-stick in Montreal , P. Q. , is the solo proprietor of the dry goods business , unmixed with vulgar groceries or other miscel-t laneous truck. Now there is n6thing new or strnngo.about this , but the fact that real lace and the , latest and the most costly ideas in silks and satins are hero , way out on the frontier , kept in stock and sold as well , in really a quite a curiosity , at leant to your cor respondent. ' Alox. S. BIcyor , n good-looking gen tleman , has two vorygood-likintt , very young children of exactly the same ago. They are jewels of the first water. N. W. Hutohins 1ms anew store and two floors covered with a now stock of furniture. Mr. JamcB Fisher lost twenty-Five tons of hay yesterday'from ' n fire setout out by Homo crazy fool. ( The ba k of Morrlck county , Jo seph N. Oatorlind & Co. , ir now fully established. Mr. Ostorlind , accus tomed to 'tho Blow methods of eastern people , oxpcotod in the course of time to obtain a paying business , but ho as sures mo. that in four weeks , hia .de posits aggregated moro than ho had hoped for at the end , of four years. For town lota and improved farms our readers may apply with advantage to this firm. i . ' , The Plattq river mills , burned down some .three years ago , . havo. boon re built and the owner , Mr. J. , G. Brew er,1 is'very .busy now. Mr. F. Sweet is making such a rap id' run for the county clerkship that ho ia expected to beat the best' score on the Mornck county roads. E. Hanson & Co. , have brought customers a < long distance with their high rates for grain. The freight iratcsjaro lower * hero , and Central City is bound to got the grain and with it the farmers trade it afow cents on the bushel will control the busi ness. ness.Mr. . I. B. Travor is an old war horse in.tho'anti-monopoly camp nnd ho is this fall loaded to the muzzle with facts andTigurcs for the pooplo. Morgan L. Wright , ono of. the live men of Central City , has retired from the Central City house , , but J. 8. Gregory , formerly of Plattsniouthia , ; now filling the bill. The following rOUTICAL NOTESj were furnished your , correspondent by a well posted republican anti-monopo list : Politically Mcrrick county U repub lican by a , hantosomo majority , and fortunately anti-monopoly. The rail road bond fight a few years ago opened the eyes of the people , and to-aay it would bo impossible to elect anything but an anti-monopoly' man to office , mid the voters of Morriok county are very fortunate to have two mots of anti-monopoly men to , choose from. The republicans have placed in nomi i nation good reliable men men who have boon tried and found true to their trust. These who seek ro-eloction have proved faith ful . and efficient officers and the now men on tbo ticket are sup posed to bo eminently qualified to i till their respective positions credibly if elected , wjitch the whole ticket cor- ainly dosor/es if , as wo are informed , lie men are anti-monopoly. The formers' alliance also have a good ticket in the field. Some of the candidates on this ticket have been oforo the people of Morrick county taking their suiTrago before ondarpwell cnown. This ticket ia championed > y men who have boon prom- nently connected with all the wlitical movement in the coun- y ami are well known all ever the country and need no ) raise at our Imudn. But , as wo have laid time and again , BO , wo say now , whore the republicans place good men jn nomination , men who can bo .rusted , vote the republican ticket and wo bespeak for the ticket in Morriok county , a handsome majority. I caunot bid good-bye without ihanking Mr .Mayno of the railway and office for energetic work in bo- iolf of TUB Bun , and Mr. Hostottor , of Hostottor it Brinningor , general merchants , got TJIE BEE moro sub scribers in shorter time than any aide do camp that ever was on my staff. Kir. Hostottor served his constituents in the legislature last winter and served them faithfully. Ho voted with "wo-uns" every timo. For business review BOO advertising columns. HANCIEU. Rengaa on River Improvement , Tho'Hon. John H. Reagan , of Texas , has written a letter to the ex ecutive committee of the Mississippi river improvement convention , to beheld hold in St. Louis on the 20th iust. , in which he says ; "There is a sugges tion In the circular which accompanies your letter of invitation which recom mends the improvement of that great river aa a national work to stand on its own murita and to bo disconnected from any other object of appropria- tipn. As this is a subject wnicli has in paa ( years occupied much of my at tention and thought , I beg to ruako suggestion in relation to it. This sub ject has been several times discussed in the IIOUHU committee on commerce , and I fear that an attempt to secure separate appropriations for that great work will result in failure. Ono ol the evils which has so far attended our eilbrts at river nnd harbor improvo- monti > | istlmtwohuvoboonunublctoUiko up a given number of works of im provement mid appropiiato nionoy enough to complete them. Partial appropriations for such work are vorv expensive Jo the government. Uul J have not noun the time when any , , bu a general bill , which would coyer Hu more important worka in Ml purls of the unionJbould bo passed. ! I do not believe you canV got - < the representa tives nnd'aotiatora froifl the Atlantic , the Pacific , nnd the great lake states to support n separate bil for Iho im provement of.tho Mississippii Nor do I believe nhy billet this kind win' bo passed which proposes .to-improve ho waters of any portion of the union , disconnected with provisions for im proving the waters of other portions at the union. I cannot now undertake - take to state the reasons for this op inion , but , there will no doubt bo members of the convention whojjl understand nnd , can state them if necessary. I make the state ment because I think it might bo un fortunate for the convention to lako. distinct grounds for a separate appro' > riation for.tho Mississippi. I would tavo no difficulty in voting for such h ncnsuro , but I feel sure many others would. " Palpitation of the Heart. .T. M. Might , Syrncuiio , N , Y. , writes : 'When I first commenced using your Bur- lock Ulood Bitters I was troubled with lutterinc and pnlpltntlon of the heart. I elt wcaie and languid , with a numbnenn of tlio , limbs , Since u lng , my heart has not troubled mo and the numbing sensa tion is all gone.
