POETICAL DREAMS OFTHE ARROW I'nttlsoii's Pictures The Omaha Nc- l > rasknn and Its Kdltor Peculiar ities of Karly Journalism Issues of the Day. Nowspnpur KeminlsccnceH. When you last called upon mo I had closed all that I wanted tosay about the early history of the Union Pacillcrail way interests , bridge , depot and other affairs , and I see no occasion for extend ing the record of these matters beyond tlmt limit. I stated what was the truth in respect to what occurred and illustrated ho subject by the documentary record. These matters are all buried in the past now and are oven pleasant memories compared to what they were in the most critical periods of the history of this city.You You como this morning to ask mo for coma reminiscences of Omaha news papers nn d of the men connected with them. This will bo a thrice-told tale and yet it may not bo without interest to largo numbers of people hero that Unowlittloof the early Hfo of the city. The llrst newspaper established in Omalm was called the Omaha Arrow. It was edited by John W. Pattison an printed in the Council Bluffs Bugle oflloo In tlmt town , which was owned by Joseph JohnbonaMormonwho recently dindas my remembrance isin Salt Luke City , whore ho hud resided for many years. Byron Rood has u fllo oj the Arrow , Ibollovo , and it is the llrst registered account of conditions that were found here in the summer of 18(54. ( Pnttison lived in Missouri in his later years , and flied there some ton years ago. Ho was a bright , voluble young man ; wrote with readiness , and made his murk in the llttlo paper chiolly in imagining the future of this country , which ho drew in poetical pictured by means of what ho called dreams. Ho would como over from Council Bluffs and sit about the pruirlo hero taking notes of persons and things , and go haul ; and prouucu his matter , and n few copies of his paper would bo handed around by himself to Visitors to this then speculative spot. The Arrow had n brief existence , and it was not really published in OmaKu. Jn discussing the town Mr. 1'attlson would convoy the impression to mnn yl\o \ hud not neon it , because there was really no town hero at all , that this was nulte u nourishing commercial city. At ilmt time wo had not even begun to \vup lots us boys Mvap iuokUnivos , and .thore was un utter absence of any r thing even like the foundations of a city. Omaha Indians strode arqund on the plateau and camped on the low bottoms toms , looUjng with nborlyliwl curiosity ypoji the whites that hud invaded their country ) and" few people would strag gle over from tho-1)1 ) nils to take obser vations of u few ioil , log anil cotton wood bantics that were scattered ever what WU6 culled the townslte. ' ' 'i'hs llrst p iper that was printed in Ojpulia was the Omaha NobnibUan. It ft/is ( he property of thu llrst dclogute from this territory to congress , the late Bird B. Chapman , of Elyria , O. . whenever never had a real residence among us , but who , as a Buckeye democrat , am bitious of public station , came out bore to try his fortunes in a perfectly now field. Ho needed an organ , and had ono. His first editor bore the name of John W. Sherman , a young man by the name of Strickland being tbo foreman | jf the printing olllco. Those gentlemen - mon , a small bunch of type , a hand- press and two or three printers consti tuted the material and editorial part of the concern. Sherman was a mild , affable manwho lived hero several years ; not strong as a writer , but it was thought then , and is thought now , that behind him wore several strong mon who furnished a good deal of editorial matter. And among them was the secretary and act ing governor of the territory , Thomas B. Cuming , ono of the most brilliant men that over crossed the Missouri river. Ho it was that organized Ne braska under civilized rule , and did it with an executive strength and comprehensive - prohonsivo view of the needs of a new people which at once stamped him as a rising man in this part of the west. Ho was cut oIT all too soon , and died in March , 1858. Tlio Nebraskan was subsequently edited by Theodore II. Robertson , ono of the really strong editors of this sec tion of the country at that time. Ho wrote with great ability on all subjects which ho chobo to discuss , and for pow ers of.attaclc and defunso and in main taining his own views and upholding the interests which ho was nound to de fend , ho was the peer of any newspaper man of thut period. The isatics wore simply local. There was a good deal of talk about democracy , and Pierce , and Buchanan , and slavery , but the ques tions of the time were those of capitol location and local political rivalries , which reduced the contentions in poli tics to factions among the democrats , and to personal rivalries and conllicts , some of which were very ridiculous. U is surprising to look back upon the incidents of those times and to rolloct into whatpabsions simple things threw our friends who wore btruggling for political or poi'bonal interests ono against the other. Byron Reed could give fcomo very interesting incidents of collisions that took place , of hand bills that were issued , ti < 'hts that were threatened and duels that were never fought among the bravo man of the time. It was tlio era of the Claim club which furnished its full quota of ex citement. But the ab.-orbing question was the capital location and it contin ued to bo so for several years. Battles over it were carried from the newspa per into the legislature , especially into the lobbies thereof , and Hiuiscom , Pop- ploton , Morton , Mason , and the Brad- fords and Nuoliolls and Cuming , who was always , ejthor in spirit or in fact , at tlie head of the Omaha forces , made thib country very lively for one that was without inhabitants. The constit uencies had u threat deal inoro voice than numbers. RobortFon retired from the Nebras- itnn. nftor several yours1 service , to his home in [ .al'hitto , whore lie lived us a farmer. A wurm > hearted , goniul man , a good fighter , timlablo as a girl. I may guy ( hut lie was the llrst man that thought ha had discovered that I could mnku un editor. This was not until after I had handled tlio little sheet known us the Omaha llarnld for more than a year. 1 chorlsiior him the most pleas ant memories and I wusuttaohed to him by tlio strongest ties. It Is only just to say that he rendered valuable servicd to this community in days when suoh service was of very great Importance i to its intorcbU. I will try and gather together for our noxt. sitting some facts about tli3 Re publican and its real first editor , Col onel E. D. Webster , who is &o widely known out here , and who has had a career upon which it will give mo great pleasure to comment. < > I1ONEV FOIl TH-iJ Just now straw hats show whieh way the wind blows. Novel and exceedingly pretty printed silk tissues form an attractive portion of dressv spring costumes. The Empire long coats for utility uses dur ing the inevitably wet and chilly days of spring are stylish garments. Asbes-of-roses nnd cafe-au-lait silk waists are worn with the prottv Venetian jackets of raspberry or russctt-'cd t'oulo cloth. Striped , plaiucd , and barred materials nre still arranged with great ingenuity , and all sameness and monotony is thus avoided. The now and artistic mcilluival tea-gowns , with cuirass bodlcei and full skirts are charmingly made of the beautiful rare tinted Mate ) . ESO satins. Ono of the very marked characteristics of present fashions is the skillful coloring. Many dress toiletsinvolvo the blending two or three different colors. The transition Irom winter to spring cos tumes is stylishly and agreeably offeeted by the Diio-toiro , und Empire" redlngotcs and the graceful liussiun polonaises. FSTho number ami variety of small wraps that have been invented is truly wonderful. All sorts of small visiles , pelerines , and shnulder capes are made with silk and black laceVery Very many of the lovely new evening toi lets for full-dress wear uro In close princess shape at the buck , with open rcdiniroto fronts that reveal n vest and petticoat of accordeon pleated tulle. Campbell cloth is a now Scotch material of fine wool , with enough of cotton in its weav ing to keep It from shrinking , yet It Is soft , pliant , and very light , coming In all the pretty devices noted in Snoteh ginghams. Many women are disappointed in the uis- play of bonnet models , averring that , with thooxcoption of two or three shupas rather striksng nnd hbiirro In outline there are noun which nffoid any genuine protection. The coining of a fashionable woman of to day Is heralded by a rattling of beads which begin at her bonnet , drop to the fringes on bodice or wrap , cling to her sush ends nnd draperies , and glitter on the tips of her natty French snoes. Most of the new embroidered ginghams , batistes , French zephyr goods nnd line chain- Dory fabrics uro made up either In plain sim ple Grotchcu fashion , with round waists , full skirts , and wide sash of the dress mate rial , or In straight dlrectoiro style , very much like those In silk or wool. The beautiful French ohalll materials are brought out in very many of the charming designs'popular ' In matelasso silks , pompa dour satins , India situs and foulards. There are , besides these , small but brilliantly col ored palms and leaves , In Persian colors , strewn over pure white challl grounds , und also empire garlands , wreaths , chintz pat terns , and richly shaded foliage sprays In tints of olive , green and gold. There are a host of pretty and becoming corsages among the freshly opened importa tions , ana if wo are to judge by this exhibit , shirring anil smocking are to bo quite as popular as over , Many bodices ore shirred In clusters , others nho\vHOft folds brought from the shoulders over a smocked plaston in the neck , the folds crossing diagonally below tills. A largo number of the light silk gowns ore In this style , arid this presupposes , indeed exacts straight skirts with u bolt either fastened with u buckle or merging into flowing ends. Not till fabrics are suit able foMihlrring , and of these the corsages are made plain , with applied garnitures In the shape of crossol folds , passementurlo ribbon traniniiigg , or corselets of some soft fabric , such us crepe do chcae or Victoria silk.

How tlic Suburbs Have Sprung Up on i'lain and 11111 nncl Tlirivo oil the City's Pros perity. A Day on tbo licit. Omaha is a surprise. Pew people realize the marvellous cx- tontof her growth. Neither can tHey realize it without u drive into the suburbs to observe her wonderful ad vancement. The writer made a tour ot the suburbs yesterday and noted that where nothing but wild , virgin prairie mot the eye throe years ago , ono may now see miles of country covered with buildings , the charming , happy little homes of well-to-do , industrious mechanics , ami thirfty and prosperous business men. An occasional mansion , magnificent in its architectural proportions , occupied by some merchant prince , proud capitalist , sleek banker , or aristocratic profes sional limn looms up castle-like among the cottages and other modest dwelling. These mansions as a rule , are usually found upon command ing heights , affording the occupants an enchanting view of the surrounding country. The desire to obtain an abode ele vated above those of * his fellow-man no doubt accounts for the swell homes four , live and six miles from the business center of town. That they arc delight ful spots in which to while away the joyful hours of homo lifo , will bo readily admitted. Furthermore , the advantages offered and accommodations to bo had in secur ing property where fortunes need not bo invested in the purehuHo of a single lot , are becoming mocaassured day by day. These cable and-electric railway * are reaching out grout distances In oil directions , thus guaranteeing transpor tation to and from tho'Htorcs ' , shops and olllces , and niulco the life of suburban citizens worth living , But thobo geiieraUUoa convey very little idea of things O.H they are actually to bo found. At Oak Chatham the writer with n friend , made his first atop , It is a ro mantic little station * nestling in the inviting shade of talhcotton woods and over looking u vast stretch of low. level lands , below rugged bluffs and along the silent winding river. In this vi cinity are located two prosperous insti tutions , the Western Casket manu factory company and a largo mill owned by F. H. Miller and O. M. Gunderson , where immenseconsigninontsof frames , sashed , doors , mouldings , scroll sawing and all kinds of fatalr worlc arc turned out every day in the year. THOBO were visited and a pleasant half hour- spent at each. Mr. L. A. Bryant as presi dent and secretary presides over the former factorv. Ho kindly welcomed and entertained his visitors. They were given to understand thut binco the SiOth of April ono year ago , when himself " and partner , "John McConvry"cumo hero from Michigan to look for a loca tion , they had built up an establish ment , costing originally $15OOU and which has now back of it * COt)00 ) , and employs forty-live skilled workmen and is turning out over two thousand styles of the finest coillns made. They are BO pressed with business that they are unable - able to moot the demands upon them. Another enlargement is contemplated. A few yards distant stands the other factory and there the seekers for information mation learned thiiiRS that few people in this vicinity have an intelligent knowledge of. It , was Mr. Miller who did the talking. Ho assured the vibitors that the proprietors wore constantly busy and ad ded much to the interest of this wonderful city. Twenty men find stoado employment at good wages. These industries arc located on the edge of Boyd's Place , an addition which is being converted into an attractive resi dence place as rapidly as homos can be built. Lots are selling at $700 each and are going on" very rapidly. Everywhere could bo seen new houses in course of erection. To the fright , a milo distant , and crowning Omaha Heights , u now town has sprung up like magic , and is the scene of great activity. There are at least a hundred buildings , ranging from cheap board shanties to fine brick mansions already inhabited , and judg ing from the manner in which scores of mechanics are rushing things , as many more residences will bo added before fore snow Hies. The Swedish hospital , an attractive throe-story edifice , with two lowers , is nearing completion. Dr. Mercer is going out there with His Sixteenth street motor line , and then Monmouth park will bo ono of the most desirable sections to bo found in the whole range of suburban localities. In fact , the doc tor has "iis " track already laid nourly to the hilltop. It is understood that ho proposes to make a complete circuit and como in past the deaf and dumb asylum. If ho docs it will not bo long until the ridges , slopes and ravines northwest will bo converted Into streets with rows of nice cottages on either bide. "Druid" is the rather queer sounding name painted in white letters on a long black board surmounting the Japanese looking structure 'which answers tlie purposes of a depot on the belt. Ilore , as at the places just loft , numerous im provements are being inaugurated. Just across the tracks , Murphy , Mosey & Co. , have commenced to construct their mammoth furniture factory , and when completed it' will bo the king of all concerns hereabouts. This linn comes hero well equipped financially to maintain tin institution that is sure to hiivo its influence and become an in stitution to which the city may point with pride. Foundation walls are al ready in for two buildings , the largest to bo 120 foot square and five stories high , and tbo smaller 00x150 and three stories hjgh , so it is evident they begin on an extonblvo hcalo. Employment will bo given to 400 men. Naturally some have famlliosund will want homes , therefore the outlook for tlmt locality is indeed encouraging , The hills there abouts are already dotted over with now houses , and no loss than half a do/.on have been commenced. Half a mile further uloncr the traok a now sta tion is noted , to bo called Hitchcock , about Doing completed. A thriving settlement is rapidly de veloping there. On sped the skittish sorrels past an old foundry , given over to bats and owls months agobut well lo cated for an industry of that kind , and only waiting the arrival of the right man to take hold and start its furnaces bla/.lng. Between this and Orchard Hill matters tire quiet , though wo heard the loud olattur of numerous hammers , tlie hum of haws and planes , and lo cated no loss than twenty buildings in tlio valley on the eabt side of the road , Orchard Hill , now a purl of Walnut Hill , is spreading rapidly in every di rection. The combined additions have long boon recognized as the most attractive residence spot around Oma ha , therefore its marvelous growth is 'not to bo wondered at. Lovely httlo palaces , ornamented with many gables , bay windows and fantastic carvings confront the spectator at every turn. From there ono can have a rarely charming view up and down the wide valley , over the smoky , bustling , noisy city and far away across the rolling prairie. But wo have no time tolingor. Towards the southeast winds the two strands of iron and along their course are distinguished tall , dark shafts , from which lloat volumes of black smoke , in dicating that times arc not as cranks would like to huvo you believe , and that the greatest city on the Missouri river , between its sources and mouth , is fast becoming a manufacturing center. But before reaching Lawrence & Holland- oi's planingmill , at Farmui street cross ing , which started ono year ago , very modestly , and is now booming , wo took a whirl through" Dundee place , which gives splendid promise of becoming an exceedingly swell neighborhood. Kcnl- donees costing from $3,000 to 810,000 , arc growing like mushrooms , and the owners of lots have set their figures high. Since the addition .seems to be in demand by men who have plenty of money , and want to live in style , they evidently know their business. West Side is not doing much , though it has hopes of the future and may got to the front yet. Brecnt's vinegar works , which turn out seventy-five bar rels a day , are located there. Away out in "West Lawn , on the Fre mont , Elkhorn & Missouri Valley , the Omaha Banket company has putupan immense brick building , It is equipped with new machinery and is running at full blast. Thov estimate the value of their plant at $12,000. Twenty-live men are now engaged and within a month the force will bo in creased to llfly. Adjoining them is the Omaha Mantel and Caakt-t com pany , an organl/.ation just starting in. It is backed by Messrs. Walker , C'al- lioun , C. 10. Roth and T. II. Tnylor.who propose to furnish the market with nil the marble mantels and grates that it wants. There in probably a score of smaller industries hero and there along the line not oniimoratod in tills accout. but which contribute their bhuro towards the buz/ and excitement of tlio booming outblcirts. They give employment to five , eight and ton mon. f Tlio journey homeward was made by way of Hansom parkund wo discovered that the city is extending beyond there at an astounding rato. In nil directions now houses are in course of erection. 1'ooplo who stay down town all thu time have no conception of tlio magni tude of the improvements being made on the outer cdgos. All through the western portion of town Htrong forces of man and teams are plowingscrapingnnd getting the streets in pnssablo condition. Along the south limits of Wnlnut Hill , in Dundee and Boyd Pladas , this work is being pro secuted vigorously. They are cutting dotyn thu riflges and filling up the hol low's. The Uolt Line people are doing everything they can to push along the general trend of improvement * . They have put iii two new hide tracks at Druid station as a special accommoda tion to the big furniture factory going up there , Everything indicates that this will provean extraordinary good your for the suburban neighborhoods.
