THE DAILY BEE-OMAHA , TUESDAY. JANUARY 22 , 188-1. . . , Mischievous Malaria. / To say tlmt malaria is inisehicvcn * is to put it vcrytmildly. . It is nil that and more. , , It is cunning , deceitful , treacherous , sly , and underhanded. It docs its worlc in the dark , and in such a sly way that much of the mis chief is done before it is discovered. It saps the foundations of a healthy system. It robs the blood of its vital ity , demoralizes the liver , confounds the stomach , and makes the victim wish he were in his grave. It is sad toscc pcoplcsitdown in their misery , content to be the victims of mischiev ous malaria , and thinking that noth ing can be done for them. The power of BROWN'S IRON BITTERS over the mischiefs of malaria has been so am ply proved that there is no reason why anybody who can procure a bottle of this Prince of Tonics shall suffer. Great is the power of malaria , .and great are its disastrous effects. But greater far is the beneficent in- fluencc of BROWN'S IRON BITTERS.

HALT LAKK , January 17 , A ride over a portion of the Union Pacific rovcnls to the "old limor" oomothing of the pro- groaa which has boon made in Wyoming the past few years. In 1807 the country treat of Grand Island , Nobnvskn , wan beyond - yond the "farming Inndn , " and the traveler - elor struck out into the "Groat American dcsort" before reaching North Hatto. Cheyenne was located on the plains tlmt year , and has grown to a beautiful city , where there are more wealthy inon than any place wo know for its aizo. It in the cattle interest , in connaction with rail ways , that has made Cheyenne such a ploaaant place , anil the satno may bo said of Laramio. This reminds us of some incidents of the past. In 1809 Dr. Latham published a series of articles on stock raising on the Laramie plains. Ho was the first to urge that locality for that industry , and pushed kis ideas so vigorously in print as to cause much comment , and ho was classed as enthusiastically wild on that tichomo. Ho demonstrated the practicability of his ideas , and succeeded in inaugurating the business of stock raising on the plains , but through side speculations , as has boon the ciiso of many , ho failed finan cially ; but his early oilbrts did more to cover the pastures of Wyoming with stock than these of any other man , and ho deserved a bettor fortune than was Ida. Laramie where ho made his homo , has changed in a few years frem a small fron tier town to great blocks of brick and wooden structures , with stores carrying immense stocks of goods ; rolling mills which manufacture twenty tons of bolts , nuts , spikes and other railway iron per day ; great ahopi for repairs and building of locomotivca and can , while all classed of busi ness is transacted in the town , and a late enterprise is that of soda manufacture on a largo scale. llawlins , once considered the most desolate place on the road , is now ono with many attractions , big shops , pros perous merchants , stock men , otc. Winter is not a good season to note improvements along the line of road through Wyoming , and yet wo cannot help out obaorvo some of them. The alkali deserts of the past have become cleared of the excess of caustic soda in the soil , through increased moisture and riin-falland the land lias boon so clothed with grasses as to make a good grazing country. This ono feature about the entire - tire country lying west of . the Missouri river is making the great plains the best stock and farming lands in the country , and the tame beneficial climatic influences have leaped over the great ranges and are fast producing a change which will in time bring uudor subjection to cultiva tion millions .of acroi now considered worthless. Then there are the changes along the Uniou Pacific , which can bo seen at all times. I moan the now build ings , shops and other improvements , springing up all along the road. The bleak desert of the paat is chang ing into interesting towns , line resi dences , shaded walks , where roaido a re fined citizenship. It has boon the railway , cattle inter ests , mining and some other induatrios which conspired to make these changes , and these same interests are all in the time growing in importance , and hence the country is destined to grow in popu lation , is the most Wyoming to-day mi- portaut coal mining country woat of Pennsylvania , and it ranks almost at the top in cattle raising and grazing. The Union Pacific operates twelve coal mines in Wyoming and ono in Utah , which in the aggregate send out an nvor- ego of 4,100 tons of coal per day. At Carbon throe mines are operated , turn ing out 1,300 tons daily ; Hock Springs , five mines , 1,500 tons ; Almy , two , 800 tons ; Twin Crook , two , ! )00 ) tons ; and Grass Crook , Utah , ono mine , 200 tons. These mines give employment to about i2'JOO men. All these mines except those at Twin Crook supply the market with coal as well as supplying the road. The Union Pacific also docs much in the coal business in Colorado , operating two minoe at Erie , two nt Oamo , ono at Baldwin and ono at Louisville ; the total daily outnul being about l.UOO tone. This great in dustry ia ull the time becoming greater the demand increasing with every now aottlor , increase of business OH tno roads nudoxtonsion of country supplied througl opening up now lines of communication Portions of both Idaho and Montana no\\ \ draw supplies of fuel from Wypming. While traveling over the road wo can' not help but remember the past am' note with interest the changes wrough with aomo of the terminal towns whicl spring up like mushrooms and have gem down almost as auddonly , Vrvan wai ono of the liveliest of them all. Nov nothing remains but the depot and throi or four empty shells , where years ago al was lifo and bustle. The graves of th mon who died with their boots on ii Bryan in its palmy days , have about dia appeared as perfectly as did the towi utter the shops wcro removed to Greoi river , Granger was once noted as a statioi on the Overland aUgo line , and long bo fora the Union Pacilio drove that class o transportation away , the etockado alii standing was the scone of lively skirmishes os with the Indiana. The place now ha aomo prospects of future greatness sine the Oregon short line has made this it junction , A largo depot , transfer plat forms and other railway buildings hav beau provided. The Uniou Pacific deal largely in al cla se3vof gooda used by railway 00111 panics , from a tack up to locomotives bridgoa , etc. , their main atoro and head ( juartora being in Omaha. For con vonieuoo they have established a branc atoro here , with largo ware rooms , lumber bor yards , oto. , under the management t J. ti , Gibson , formerly of Omaha , wit several assistants in tno store and yardi The company has aold sixty or aovout tovya lota , most of which will soon I built upon. At present thcro tire BOIII ton or twelve houaea completed , the wor of the paat fowluoutha , Town lota at aold at prices ranging from $40 to $1 each , and t\io prompters of the t'jw hope to ace it Iraom considerably in tho' ' apring. Piedmont TM once full of lifo , and money waa plenty there , the cutting of vood and lumber , and burning of charcoal - coal giving employment to a largo number of'mon and teems. The charcoal kilns are now idle , and the town docs not present much appearance of life , but its location with great bodies of timber back of it , may again bring prosperity to the placo. llilliard ia another similar example of decline in the charcoal business. .Seven years ago the demand kept twonly.four kilns busy , and the llilliard Flume com pany flourished and made gnbd timer for the cntiro tow , then numbering over 000 persona. The company still has a good llumo about thirty miles long , tapping a timber district on the headwaters of Bear river , just across the line in Utah. Wood can bo floated that thirty miles at a coat of thirty or forty cents a cord , and logs and lumber in proportion. The company have good nawmilla at llilliard , and several thousand cords of wood and hun dreds of logs iu their yarda. The town is noted for vacant houses and lack of busi ness activity ; but prosperity is likely to smile again on the place nnd reward the ownora of the property now lying idle. Evanaton ia a pretty place in summer , or ut any time when the snow Is not piled up in drifts ns a present. Merchants , mechanics and othcis appear to bo doing well , while the class of citizens and va rious aocial and other advantages are such aa to make this place pleasant to reside in. At all locomotive stations masslvo en gines with huge snow plows attached are ready to engage in a combat with snow drifts along the lino. In early days the read had many detentions on account of snow and your correspondent was among tlio unfortunates who were detained by blockades on many occasions. Had the road been prepared na well in 1870-1-2 to fight snow olockadcs as itis _ non- , there would not have been much'detention of trains , and million ) ) would have been waved to the company. In the line of railway improvements the progress made in machinery and appliances for raising blockades of all kinds have fully kept pace with other improvements , and the day haa passed when thcro will over bo any prolonged blockade by snow or floods on any first-class railways. Not only have all the chances , privations and aufforiuga of snow blockades boon re moved on this great continental routobut traveling nt any season of the year over the line has become both a comfort and a luxury. With the thermometer nt its lowest the can 'aro ' BO well warmed and ventilated as to make them as pleasant to passengers as if Bitting around their own fires in their parlors. The road is ao smooth that ono finds no trouble in read ing or writing while moving through the country at a rapid rate. The writer of this haa noted the climatic and oth'er changes on the plains and through thia great mountain region along the line of the Union Pacific , throughout Utah nnd Idaho , the past fifteen years , and ho is of the opinion that in the not distant future vary much of the country will become productive and furnish homes for a largo population. Crops of grass , grain and vegetables are now raised iu localities where _ nll was barren ton yearn ago , and there is largo tracts of grazing lands where alkali , dust and greaswood predominated in the past , G.

Among the number of men who have leaped from comparative poverty and ob- acurity in thia country in the paat half century , none stand out more prominent ly than John W. Mockoy , the California millionaire , at prcaont living in Paris. Hia name is known all over tno continent and the vast project of laying another cable across the Atlantic- , bringing the continent into instantaneous connection ' with ours , with which ho b ao greatly identified , brings him before the people again. To these familiar with his career in the paat few years , , and knowing hia immense -wealth and splendid surround ings , it soonia almo.it miraculous that , within the memory of comparatively young men , ho was poor and obscure , without a dollar iu the world. Although much haa boon written and said about him , aa a matter of cpurao , but few persons are acquainted with Ilia early lifo , and the fact that ho was at ono time a resident of thia city has never been made public. As a reporter waa poaaing down Main street , yesterday , a gentleman standing at the corner of Twelfth remarked : "You see that building over there ? " pointing to the house on the northwest corner of Twelfth and Main. Upon the reporter's replying in the affirmative , ho continued : " 1 , aupposo it would surprise a number ol persona to know thai Mockoy once lived thcro and kept a saloon. The atory ie not generally known , as he was not a mau of wide acquaintance , nnd when ho loft the city all thought of him died out. 01 these who uaod to take drinks from hie ' hands acroas the counter , but few rocog- ' uizo him in his now sphere. "Along about 18-15 Maokoy came tc this city in company with ono or twc others in search of employment. Ei waa a man , strong , active and willing tc work at almost anything which wouli afford him a good living , A a old two atory frame building stood at the cornoi over there , and the front roon had boon used aa a saloon The proprietor closed up i few months before , however , and the building vraa left without a tenant t. Mackoy had nome little money , and a t.s ; the location was a good ono ho resolvei to start a bar-room thoro. Ho made i bargain with the proprietor and aocuroi the place , opening up about n week later The room and ita tmurca would bo it strong contrast with the fine saloons o the proaontday.with their gilded counter mid fancy ban. The walls were covered will n simple coat of white paint , and tin counter vraa a long , narrow ono ma Jo ou of pine boards.

In 184 ! ) the gold fever was nt its height , and every day 6migrnnU wore'leaving for the Pa cific coast. oJKcr to reap the harvest of gold which tnty confidently expected was waiting for Jhcm , Mackoy was ono of the first poraRui in thia city to bo afilicted with the fcner , and ho endeavor ed to induce n nunitor of friends to go with him , A party ct about twenty-five wan finally made up , nnd ho wrw ono of the lenders in it. Ho told hia paoporty interests fora amall sum , and that WM the la.it hoard of him until Ibo jumped sud denly into tlio lap of fortune. " 1 was , ' ' said the gentleman , "in Gali- at the time of his arrival there , end watched hia career with considerable in terest , lie had previously known Flood nnd O'Brien , and they were very fast friends. They wcro nt that time keeping a saloon in San Francisco , and Mackoy worked in the minus. The two famous fields of wealth then wore the California and the Consolidated Virginia , and ho worked in both of thorn. ITs wan a a very shrewd man , tolerably well edu cated * and had some little knowlsdco of civil engineering. Ho clearly saw that money invested in the stock of either of these mines waa sure to bring good re sults , nnd every dollar ho could raiscrwaa invested iu that way. At this instance Flood and O'Brien went in with himand the three purchased stock at $ , ' ! n share. Soon after it wont up to$7 and gradu ally increased to $18 ; In this simple manner their fortunes wcro made , and' ' almost before they know it they wore wealthy men. Mackey then lived in rr frame house on Suttor street nnd his fig ! uro became a familiar ono to the f rcqucu- cra of the mines. "Ho was * not married then , but mot the women who became hia wife soon afterward. This in itself is n little romancennd illustrates his character. She waa n widow whonhobccamoacquaint- od with her , nnd was the daughter of Maj. Hungleford , of Now Orleans. She married a doctor and moved to Nevada City , where hov husband died aomo'tlmo ' afterward : Ha was a poor man.and loft his wife and child in rather destitute circuruatanocaMackoy hoard of thia some months later , nnd started'a sub scription fop-tho widow's boncht , con tributing ; liberally himself , and raising a neat little sum. Thia so touched the widow's heart that she called on him to thank him for his kindness. She was young and pretty , with a childish face and winning ways , and captured Mackoy'a heart-completely. Hiacourtahip was n quiet ono , and of short duration , and eoon the pretty widow united her destiny with his : Mackoy was then n rich man , but bo hept widening his field of action until in connection with Flood , O'Brien and'Fdir ho established the Ne vada .bank , and Louis McOlaiu wont from Baltimore to manage it. Since tht time Mackoy's career has boon familar to almost every school boy. Unlike the majority of. mon , however , bo does not forgot that he waa once , dependent hini- self , and his charity has boon great. He is n member of'the Catholic church , and established an orphan asylum fpr the children of'that1 danomination iu Ne vada City , which ho ntill supports.
