KOBRARA'S ' EARLY HISTORY. An Old Nebraska Town With a Most Romantic Record. HOW THE LOG FORT WAS HELD. An Interview With the Founder Indian Troubles In Early Days Xlio liard Winter After Xhirly-Vlireo Years. Reads Like a Romance. NioiiiuitA , Neb. , Juno 0. [ Special to THE BUB.J The history of Nebraska can not bo Tory well written if Niobiara is left out. Not so much because 01 its present commer cial importance , but because of its import ance In the state's pioucor history. Long before Onmha had emerged from her swad dling clothes , or Lincoln's ' sallno shores tiad boon visited by u white man , or any habita tion had ventured far from the state's me tropolis , Niobrara was settled by some of the most Intelligent mou of our country. General G. VV. Jones , onoof Iowa's first sen ators , whoso resilience is in Dubuque , was Interested in Its early history and was one of tbo original town company. The late Judge A. "VV. Hubbard and Judge Moore , of Sioux City , wore also Interested , while we hud D. B. Nye , of Council 13luffs , a nephew of Gen eral Cass and cousin to Indian Commissioner Manyponny , without whoso influence at Washington tlio whites could not have hold Nlobrara or a foot of territory west of Da kota county. TUB rouNnnit or NIODRARA was Ir. D. Y. Shelley , who staked the town and declared ttio town's nnmo on Juno 7 , 1656. It being Just thirty-throe years ago to day , THE UEB correspondent sought Dr. Bhelloy , who makes his old town summer quarters , and derived from him some of the potent features of our state's history , which have never before been published. "I have always contended , " said the doc tor , "that the 'Niobrara country,1 properly peaking , comprised simply the Running Water valley and its tributaries of which. of course , Niobrara was to bo the destined metropolis. The region formerly known as 'tho Niobrara country1 is situated between Aaoway ( Iowa oa the maps ) creek and the Niobrara ( L'Euu qui Court , or Running Water ) river , extending from the Missouri Westward , including what is known s the Dow valleys. Uagilo crook , ft portion of the Elkhorn , and the talley of the Niobrara with its various trib utaries. Its extent on the Missouri is about ooo hundred miles , and it embraced .in its limits some of the choicest lands in Ne braska. Previous to 1S53 , " continued the doctor , "this portion of Nebraska , and indeed all the country between the Plato and Niobrara rivers , was CLAIMED nV TUB OMAHA INDIANS. By a treaty inudo and entered into that Jeer between these Indiana nnd the United Btato government , the former relinquished alt claim to the entire country between the rivers before mentioned , suvo what might fee sufficient for iv suitable reservation , Tlio Indians would appcur liy the the terms of tlio treaty to have Intended thut poitlan of their old domain lying between Aloaway cieok Mil the wobrarti , or the Niobrara countiy , ' for their reservation and future } iomo , binco by un urtlclo of the treaty tills wcctlon was xprossly designated as such , with the hrowd provleo , however , thut they might elect bomo other , under cwtuln conditions. n ! 'In lb ! > 5 the United Btutcs liulluu Hf Igeut , together with the chief jnon of the Onmhas , without examining the Niobrara country , in compliance with tba instructions of tlio dopaitiucnt , doMed - Mod to BUU8T1TUTU Tim "lll.ACKlllUD COUXTIU1 for tficlr rcoervutioii a country In almost very respect infniior to the Nlobruru coun try. Whether they inailo tills poor exchange ( their own accord ; whether they feared ItM X'c-niaw , who had already manifested h preteneloai to the soil ; or whether , ui s most probable , they wore prompted by those who at that time alone know the value of the Niobrara country , I would not pre sume to say.1' At any rate , the consequence of this : hangc in the Omaha reservation , confirmed by the government , was , of course , that the country lying between Aloaway creek nnd the Niobrara river reverted to the United States , subject to pro-omption laws like other imblio lands. No sooner liad matters boon settled with the Omahas than the Poncas , evidently Influenced by their white con nections , began very strenuously to urge their claims to THE FAMOUS NIO1IRARA COUNTRY. They warned the whites to keep off bv or ders written by a white man. This , with the impression industriously circulated by influ ential people , that that country was not open for settlement , baa the desired eitect of keepIng - Ing it for a while in Its old condition. In 1850 , while the entire territory of Ne braska was in possession of the Indians , ex- ompti from the erasp of the white man , and unknown to him , suvo so much as TUB ZCALOUS INDIAN TRADER knew , or the inoro explorer of the Missouri river had laid down on tlio old and uncer tain maps of the extreme west , or what might bo gleaned from a general description of the territories of the United States , Dr. Shelley , then engaged In some private ex plorations in the valley of the Missouri , and at the time sojourning in Council Bluffs , hail his attention railed to the Niobrara country by souio vivid accounts by mountain traders and pioneer Mormons , who had soon "plenty of plno nnd other good timber up thoro. " Some Mormons had , previous to taking up their winter quarters with the Omahas , attempted - tempted a settlement at or near the mouth of the Niobrara river , but were frustrated by the determined opposition of the Ponca In dians. Traces of this short-lived SETTLEMENT Or " 3UNT3" existed In 1S5S , not only of demolished build ings of the living , but other monuments bet tor attesting their troubles nnd persecutions at the hands of the "Lamanlto. " "In Mav , 1850 , " said the doctor , "accompa nied by H. U. Cowan , wo sot out with the de termination to explore the territory , nnd se lect its most favorable spot for a town sito. Crossing Aloaway creek wo begun our Jour ney Tnnouon THR CO.STBBTBD UOMA.I.V. Following along the sinuous coursoof the Missouri wo passoil by many beautiful spots , upon which towns have slnco boon latil out. Every high point of blurts which wo were compelled to travorao In our course served us something of Hn observa tory , from which wo could vlow the surrounding country and search out the un known location of the polr.t desired , The "muddy Missouri" still contln.'ocl day otter day along our line or travel , to rush nmclly by the chalk blurt's , which wo knew must be cleared before wo need look for the pure waters of the Niobrara. Tnough the trail was tiresome and our moans of conveyance by no means encouraging , yet wn persevered - vered lllo gonulum frontiersmen until wo were rewarded by the sight of the very re ality wo were seeking for. IIwii.jj : gained the eminence of a hi ri bluff , ths hnautlful plateau at the mouth of the Running Water was suddenly thrust buforo us. Tbo spot once reached , there was no nnc-1 to look farther , for the llist L'lanoo would tie de cisive In the mini1 nf tn.y observer , and now nothing remained HUT TO MAID ; THE CLAIM in accordance with law and custom. The town claim of Niobrnra was accordingly mudo on the Tth day of Juno , 1350 , in .the presence uf the wtiolo tribe of Ponca In dians , whoso chief village bad been situated for several scores of years , as wo were us- surcu by both Indians and French traders. " -In September following , the first building was erected in Nlobraru. It was constructed of logs three feet In Uiaic-oter , and wns de signed to answer the double purpose pf a fort und n pi election to its inmates from the elements. The "oH cabin" sfood for several ye.irs after , wren it was burned. In the fol lowing mouth , Dr. Shelley made a personal examination of the Uunnlng Water valley for u distance of ninety miles , where ho saw Till : OU13KIUTS OF THE 1'INIS UCUIOX and satisfied himself as to the character and value of the country and the pluo timber. Ho inailo the expedition and was guided and accompanied by a slnglo Indian , "Littlo Habblt , " who hud lost castu nnd became on outlaw from his tribe. Ho secured the ser vices of tile outlaw uftcr other attempts had failed. The winter of LS53-7 , remarkable all over the country for its deep snows and frigid cola , was in other respects PIIEONANT WITH DIFFICULTIES to the four gentlemen Hurry Huddleston , Clinton Beam , James Small and "Dutch Fred , " who passed the winter in Niobrara in the employ of the original L'Eau qui Court company. Several now cabins were built on the town claim , which were torn down nnd burned by the Indians , still constantly tampered with by their masters , who were stimulated by jeal ous speculators who were anxious to gain possession themselves by first ejecting those who had made bold to gain the first foot hold. hold.Recourse Recourse was also had to misrepresenta tions , and urgent appeals to the commandant nt Fort Randall ; und it is worthy of note that Colonel Lee , commanding tbo post , rep resented iu his orders that they were sanc tioned by the then governor of Nebraska and other functionaries of the territory , which orders were peremptory to the white occupants of Niobrara , to LEAVE TUB PLACE FOIITHWITII , or ho should bo obliged to coerce them as intruders upon Indian lands. "This combined attack of Indians , specu lators nnd men of different ranks , grades and stations , " continued Dr. Shelley , "how- over formidable it may appear , was success fully resisted and overcome , though it mani fested itself also with considerable strength iu its efforts to defeat tbo passage of on act incorporating the L'Eau qui Court com pany. " The commandant of the post having been furnished with the opinionof the secretary of the interior declaring the disputed coun try open for white sottlsrs , and Having re ceived corresponding instructions from the secretory of war , ho immediately suspended all interference with the white settlers. Upon this the prospects of peace to the settlers seomoa to brighten , but the In dian annoyances still continued , and during the spring months numerous acts of hostility were committed , live stock nnd other prop erty destroyed by the Poncas , who were often MADE DKUNK WITH W1IISKT , and thus exasperated to intimidate the set tlers , and , if possible , frighten them from their possessions. Such opposition did the claim-holders at Nlobrura oxporlenoo during the winter nnd spring following of 1850-7. It is not often that a contest so long and so warmly waged between such parties as frontiersmen and Indians can bo placedupon record WITHOUT ITS MARKS OF BLOOD , and it is deemed but a matter of justice to at tribute an escape from such disaster to Hie wisdom and cool , prudent conduct 'of the worthy men who passed the first winter at Niobrara. "Colonel Leo repeatedly expressed his surprise , " the doctor said , "ai > the unaccountable obstinacy of those men who hold tbo place. Ho advised them to leave 'tlio Ponca country , ' 'as ho expected daily to hear of their being scalped. ' Ho could furnish them no protection , but ho iionl orders to 'Old Whip , ' the chief , com manding him to desist from further molest ing the whites. During the session of the territorial legls- turo of Nebraska this same winter , the L' Eau qui Court company was duly incor porated. In tbo act of incorporation the site of Nlobrura was located , the company's ' claim defined and liberal ferry and bridge piivlleges guaranteed ; and it the same ses sion uu act was passed creating THE COUNTY OP L1 EAU COURT , by which Niobrara secured the seat of justice in the corporate limits. I have been thus particular in detailing the onrllar history of Niobrara , Its troubles , trials and obstacles , that I might show more plainly with what eagerness it was sought , and with how much importance the point was everywhere regarded oven ui that , early dav. Th ( > vigorous opposi tion which hud thus far attended settlement rendered it Injudicious and unsafe to make such improvements as were desirable , since they were sure to meet tlio fate to which Indians usually consign every mark of civili zation , Tliq.spring of 1857 opened with more micauracing auspices , nnd tbo opposition having bufllciontly abated to remove all doubts of the niliuiato success of iio | enter prise , a few of the more active and liberal members took care that no time should bo lost in pushing forward with Niobruru with vl CO Ei A.

At one time I noticed tbat every friend who culled upon mo met mo with what I can only describe as suppressed grins , Buys a writer in the London Queen. I could not imagine the cause of this general but covert merriment. Wo discussed it in the family , but with out arriving at any solution of the mys tery. One day it was all revealed. I bad forgotten my latch-key , and upon returning homo was obliged to ring. Our front door is half of ground glass. In the very center of the panel is iv wide transparent rose. I chanced to glance at this just after my ring , and was startled quite out breath at what I saw a great green cyclopean eye fill ing the epaco of the rose. It was thus that our general help took observations of our guests hoforo sao unclosed our portals to them. A liibol on tlio-tiacJJes. Have you ever taken /particular no tice of the fact that ainicely dressed lady , especially as to thcadgoar and neckwear , always seeks a seat in a street car up in one of the forward cor ners ? says the Chicago'Hurald. Well , she almost Invariablydoas. ' Maybe you -will wonder why , and it ia only right and proper that you should bo informed on the subject. It in a self-evident truth that a lady loves'to look at herself - self in u mirror , especially if she is well dressed , It is an oveiruhunco that the front platform of u street cur is oc cupied by two or more smokers who al- wiiyw lean back against the front win dows. This obstructs a view of the street , but the dark background of the smoker's cout renders the window mir- roivliko , BQ that a pen > on in the corner seat can HOC his or nor- reflection in the glass. Tins is really why ladles with now hats or wrupsliko to get up thoro. They can incidentally look at tnoir ap parel all the way down town und thus bo afforded u great deal of feminine satisfaction. At this particular season , writes Mamlo L. Hutchott to the Lincoln Cull , when the question of clothes is agitat ing more twin any the feminine mind , the following thoughts are naturally suggested : The Uiblo in its opening chapters and everything in nature , from the gar ments or Her leaves worn by our lirst parents to the leafy bowered trees and flower-clothed fields , teaches the pro priety and necessity of apparel some times gay , sometimes sombre , accord ing to the time , place ana occasion. But while they teach beauty in all things , they also teach modesty , simplicity and harmony. They impress the fact , too , that wo should keep within bounds of pur own individual ability , not indulg ing our love of adornment at the ex pense of others. Does the lily borrow from the rose ? or the tiniest shrub from the migRtiest forest king ? It is natural , it is proper , it is light ; nay further , it is the duty of every woman to make herself as comely and attractive as her means and opportuni ties permit her. She should cultivate physicial charms , and above all indiv- ualitv , asany other God given talent ; but she should not spend more time or money than necessary on these accom plishments. There are many arguments against the two evils overdressing and not dressing enough. Expensive attire involves : 1. A waste of time and misapplication of powers which should be devoted to something higher. The woman who makes fashion the study of her life finds very little time for anything else , and by depending too much on the attrac tions of her outward uppoaranco , is apt to neglect the cultivation of those in born graces of heart and mind which constitute the only lasting beauty and the only typo worth aspiring to. 2. It necessitates an expenditure of money that could bo used for better pur poses. Persons who have been fortu nate enough either to inherit or accum ulate wealth , have no moral right to withhold food and raiment from God's suffering poor in order that they may indulge a weak vanity. It causes a gossip , excites envy and jealousy , and not infrequently keeps persons of smaller moans from church and places of amusement which they would otherwise attend and onjoy. It tempts thorn to commit frauds and thefts in-ordor that tnoy may keep pace with their Wealthier and more ostenta tious neighbors. It encourages selfish ness and cruelty. Think of the thous ands of innocent , bright winged birds that are sacrificed every year on the altar of fashion , to say nothing of the huniun victims of the sewing machine and scissors. - . Slatternly nppurol is more Inexcus able and equally deplorable. A slovenly woman in a disgrace to the mother who roared her , and a perpetual mortifica tion to the unfortunate man the dignity of whoso name she so little appreciates. Sparse dressing is wrong every way , criminally wrong , since it is degrading to the woman who practices it and demoralizing - moralizing to her associates. Talmago says : "Show mo the fashion plates of any ago between this and the time of Louis LVI of Franco , and Henry VIII of England , und I will toll you the typo of morals or immonlsof thatugoor that your. No exception to it. Modest ap parel moans' a righteous people. Im- modc-st nppurol means a contaminated and depraved society. " And Talmago is right , for women who are really pure minded and true shrink instinctively from bare shoulders and naked arms , The woman who is willing to exhibit horeolf in a promiscuous crowd in a decollete waist , is not the woman whom nn intelligent , virtuous man would care to acknowledge us a falstor or a wife ; and since her object is to exclto admiration , she displays a judgment as weak as her morals , and defeats the very end which she is striv ing to accomplish. , . , Persons of taste , natural or culti vated , have their fastidious idons of suitability and the ' -eternal IHncss of s things shocked continually. For in stance , a 10-oont lawn with a 85 sash and $10 bonnetmake , up a costume that gives these senaativo individuals a nervous vigor. A tea gown at a dinner _ party or a silk dress at a picnic is equally conspicuous and out of taste. True elegance in dress , as in all things else , consists in harmony , sim plicity ana suitability ; and the most graceful and artistic costume is that which is the most natural and easy , and comfortable to tlie one who wears It. Girls , Get a Vellow Garter. The very latest and funniest whim is the wearing of the' yellow garter , says the Now York Sun. Just one garter , not two , you understand , and it must bo worn juot above the left Unco. The other stocking may bo wrinkled discon solately over the shoe-top , or be fast ened in place by any one or all of the mysterious devices known only to the initiated , but the loft one is hold firmly bv a band of yellow silk elastic , with a ribbon rosette of the same shudo , and the correct and proper thing is to wear it night and day for six months. The yellow garter's origin is shroud ed in murky uncertainty , but its signifi cation is known to every girl who pos sesses it , and this is its charm : Any girl who wears a yellow garter above the loft knee IB sure to bo engaged in less than six months. The garter must bo given to her by a friend ; she must not make or buy it , and it has never been known to fail of its purpose but once , and then the owner was weaving it on the wrong extremity , or rather the right one instead of the left. Just wherein lies its potency belongs to the ethics of the esoterics of girlhood , but the girls all wear them. The slim slips of girls who want to bo engaged just for fun , though they aren't half old enough to be married ; the bright , clover girls , as sweet and spicy and wholesome as carnations , who have a career before thorn , and say they won't marry the best man in the world ; the houuless girls , that have tried every thing else , you know , and are accus tomed to failure ; the sweet-hearted , womanly girls , who are waiting like Marianna in the moated grange and sighing because "lie cometh not , " and the naughty , witching girls who could marry every fellow in the market , if they were not so sort of bewildering that no one quite dares to ask them , and the shy girls who hide the yellow band from their very host friends , and think of it when they say their prayers , all waiting for some bravo knight of the garter to help them solve the prob lem concerning the success or failure of the time-honored of institution which is causing so much controversy at pres ent all wear the yellow garter. RONCH Foij'crfumery. . Gather the rose loaves injdry weather , remove the petals , and to the proportion tion of half a peck fresh leaves strew in a good handful of salt. Let this re main five days , stirring up the leaves ovorv day. When they appear moist add three ounces of bruibodallHploo and one ounce of cinnamon stick bruised. Lot this remain on the loaves a week , stirring them daily from the bottom , says the Detroit Tribune , Then put into a permanent jar one ounce of all spice , and add the stock layer by layer. Sprinkle-between tlio following : One ounce each of cloves and cinnamon , two nutmegs ( all coarsely powdered ) , some ginger root sliced thin , half an ounce of aniseed bruised , ten grains finest musk , half a pound of freshly dried luvomlar flowers , two ounces of powdered orris root and ad libitum cologne , rose or orungo llowor water , orange or lemon pool. Freshly dried violets , tuberoses , clove pinks , or any other scented flow ers may be added. Pine extract of any kind will enhance the fragrant odor , while fresh rose loaves , salt and allspice - spice , made as at first , may bo added when convenient. Stir the jar occa sionally , leaving it closed except when the perfume is wished to odomo the room. Delusions of an Empress. The empress of Austria , who is at Wiesbaden , occupies outside the town a villa which is guarded by police agents , and no strangers are allowed to approach it , says the London Star. The empress' delusion was that King Louis came fo her in the night dripping won in his shroud , from which there ran a perfect stream of water , which filled the room and threatened to drown her. She would wake in a fright and call for help , saying she was drowning. Tlioso hysterics generally ended in a fainting fit , and , singular to add , for some daya afterwards the compress appeared to bo free from hallucination. On her return to Vienna last year the ) empress absolutely refused to see her son , the Archduico Itudolf , declaring that ho hud not paid her proper ro- spect. Shortly afterward tlm archuuko committed suicide , and it became an imperative necessity that the empress should bo confined to her own apart ments , for she was continually ropuoach- ing herself for causing the death of her son. And now the acute crisis in tha empress' illness has passed , for soften ing of the brain has sot in. Women In Trousers. An unusually largo number of cases of women passing for men have recently boon discovered in England and Franco. The most remarkable for length of time during which the deception was maintained was that of a person who , during a voyage from Franco to the island of Jersey , acted in a btrunge manner nnd finally fell unconscious , A doctor found that although dressed as a man it was really a woman. After being sent to ahojpit'il in Jersey she told her story , which was that , at the ago of thirteen , she had been left an orphan and had then , a Jo p tort male clothes , which Bho had over since worn without discovery. She was fifty-five years old , and had there fore worn trousers for forty-two yoarfl. She had for the creator part of her Ufa pursued the calling of a courier , guid ing parties of travelers over all parts of Europe , under thq nnmo of Louis Her man Tobush. She hud done well at the business and had u balance at her bank ers. When she was taken sick on , the steamer she worn a fur waistcoat , a long overcoat , n stilf hut and a turned dcnvn collar , and smoked a long pipe or'a strong cigar , us she chanced to please. No one had any suspicion she was not a man. Among the witnesses in a recent suit at the Paluco of Justice in Paris was u pernoii , apparently a young man , dressed like a student , who was accom panied by what seemed to bo an elderly gentleman of grave aspect. When tha name of Mine. Libert was called tha young man stopped forward. "I bog your pardon , " said the clerk , "I am asking for a lady , and not for a young man. " "But tnis young man is my daughter , " explained the sedate gon- tlunmn , stepping forward. The olork decided to lot the judge see the witness nnd Bottle the matter. The judge told the young woman to go home and put on proper clothes before she appeared to testify. "Hut I have not a slnglo dross to my nnmo , " she exclaimed. It turned out that the old Mine. Libert runs u printing olllco und hud for a long time worn inulo clothing in order tq miinugo her business hotter , She wai bringing up her daughter to the sami custom ,
