THK I'/fOPOSKI ) POSTAL TKTK(1HAPH.
1'ostmastor General Wnnntnnkor is
about to renew his efforts to establish
postal telegraphs. The bill framed last
winter in conformity with his views has
boon re-Introduced by Congressman Hop
kins of Illinois , with lomo modifications
that have suggested themselves since
last year.
Under this bill the government may
contract with any telegraph company
for the transmission of private cor
respondence , press dispatches nnd postal
money orders nouvcon points to bo des
ignated by the 1'oatofllco department in
connection with the postal service under
rules and regulations proscribed by the
postmaster general , and at. such rates as
may bo agreed on by the contracting
parties. The charges for transmission
and delivery must bo prepaid by stamps.
The advertising and letting of the con
tracts provided for must bo conducted in
the manner prescribed by the laws re
lating to contracts for inland mall
transportation , so far as may bo applica
ble. It is provided that in conducting
the postal telegraph business no now
additional ofllcos shall bo created , nor
additional clerks employed by reason of
thosamo in the Poslofllco department erin
in postolUcos , nor any expenditure of
money bo made or contracted for beyond
the sums received for the doll very
charge of said messages. The bill pro-
vulos that all statutes proscribing punishment -
ishmont for violations of laws of the
postal service shall bo extended and
made applicable to the postal
telegraph service ; also that the
postmaster general , with the advice -
vice and consent of the president ,
may conclude treaties and conventions
with foreign countries for the extension
and connection of the postal telegraph
service , including the interchange of
postal telegraph money orders between
them and the United States.
There would bo a very marked dis
tinction between government postal
telegraphs now m operation hi England ,
Franco and other European countries
and the corporate postal telegraphs
which are contemplated uudor this bill.
Tlio European system excludes private
ownership of telegraphs and makes the
cntiro system a component part of the
postolUco. The proposed bill would con
tinue corporate ownership of tolog'-aphs
and merely give the people the bonollt
of a limited postal telegraph conducted
as an adjunct of the postal systom. In
other words the Wanamakor plan does
not contemplate the purchase ab
sorption of existing telegraph lines or
the construction of competing1 telegraph
linos. It merely contemplates the UJG
of public buildings in the principal
cities and the employment of postal car
riers and use of postotlico facilities by
any telegraph compuiy or companies
that may see fit to avail themselves of
the bonelits uroposod in exchange for a
concebsion as to regulations and tele
graph tolls.
This is by no moans such a postal tel
egraph as the country will eventually
secure when the American people fully
realize the necessity of substituting for
the present wasteful system operated by
stock jobbers for tho-prollt of construc
tion rings and speculators a telegraph
operated by the government for the use
and bonotit of the people as an integral
part of the postal system.
It may bo bettor , however , to accept
half a loaf than no broad. The private
postal telegraph would be a long stop in
the direction of government telegraph ,
and under present conditions and preju
dices the Hopkins bill is all that can bo
procured at the hands of congress.

Cable dispatches from London an
nounce that seven men died on the
summer Navurro , loaded with cattle on
the voyage from Now York , but
that only three cattle .were lost
The men were suffocated by coal gas on
the lirst night out and seven others nar
rowly escaped a similar death. The
cattlemen nnd the crotv worked hero
ically during the remainder of the voyage
and their labors wore rewarded in sav
ing nearly ali the cattle. The animals
wore in excollontcondition on arrival at
port , but the men looked like ghosts
nnd wore almost oxhaustod.
The cattlemen were partly to blame
for their falo. They wont aboard the
ship Intoxicated and they did not have
sense enough to provide for properly
ventilating the forccabtlo. The steam
ship company la primarily responsible ,
however , for the awful events of the
twenty-four days buffeting with ocean
storms. To save money the steamship
company provided an inferior quality of
ooal. It increased the length of the
voyage and its nauseous gases caused
the death of the seven men. Bettor care
was taken to prevent the dnath of the
dumb animals than to make the lives of
human beings secure. Why ?
The dumb animals possessed a cash
value , The dead men have boon burled
in the sea. Tholr friends in ly moirrn
for thorn. The steamship company loses
no money by tholr death. Human lifo
is too cheap on ocean steamers. Greed
and avarlco are not moved by human
Buffering. Cheap coal may kill olt mon
by overworking thorn at the engines or
by suffocating them in their bunks , but
it savcb the owners of the vessel a few
dollars. There is too much indilToronco
to human mlsory ovnrywhoro. and espe
cially on merchantmen and stock stoiun-
ers. There Is a most pressing necessity
for closer inspection of thoau vessels , in.
spoctlon which shall force their owners
to consider something olsj than the
almighty dollar. There is a whole ser
mon against cupidity , covetousness and
parsimony in the tologrHphic announce
ment that only three cuttle were lost on
the voyage of the Navarro , but seven
men were burled in mid ocean.

Chicago covers un area of forty-eight
square miles or very nearly double the
ground space covered by the city of
Paris. The valuation of property with
in the oity 'limits of Chicago has boon
asbessod for the year 1692 at $2o,609- ( )
574. The actual value of the real prop
erty of the city of Chicago exceeds one
billion , The 2 per cent tax on the as-
possod valuation of Chicago will pro
duce $ -5,181.001. The estimated rovonua
expected during the present year from
the liquor trnlllo license will approxi
mate $3,000,000. The u'rond total of
IIIOIIUVM to bi > nvitnnduit for municipal
purpose ? by the city government anil
the school board of Chicago in 1892 will
exceed $10,000,000. From this must bo
deducted for Interest on the bonded debt
of Chicago 81,007,1112. In other words
Chicago pays as much Interest every
two years as would cancel the entire
bonded debt of Omaha , nnd the running
expenses of the Chicago municipal ma
chine this year , exclusive of her public
schools , would moot all the expenditures
of the state of Nebraska , Including state
olllcors' salaries , maintenance of public
Institutions , state militia , repairs of
public buildings and the average of now
public buildings for the next five years.
Chicago is a great city.
Tin : democratic papers claim lo have
discovered a most formidable revolt in
the ranks of the republican party of In
diana against President Harrison. In
proof of this assumption they clto the
great commotion that took place the
ether day at the republican state con
vention of Indiana when ox-Congress
man White led the opposition to the
resolutions instructing the delegates to
support Uonjiunln Harrison for ronoml-
nation. The democrats can got very
little comfort out of this alleged revolt.
It was u tempest in a teapot. The reso
lutions to Instruct In favor of Harrison
were carried unanimously. Ono thousand
nnd seventeen delegates voted for the
resolutions ; six delegates hailing from
Alton county declined to vote and loft
the convention hull.
INSTEAD of consolidating missions to
South America and olsowhuro the true
policy of our government should bo to
increase their number. Dommirk nnd
Sweden and Norway will very properly
rcsont the proposed consolidation and
our promising trade relations with
South American republics are liable to
suffer by decreasing the number of
diplomatic representatives there. A
having of $00,000 in the total consular
and diplomatic bill will not remunerate
this government for the ill-will of any
friendly nation. The senate may bo
relied upon , wo hope , to prevent the
foolish cheese-paring to which the ho'uso
committee on foreign relations has com
mitted itself.
Hr.NUY M. STANLKY is credited with
an ambition to outer Parliament as n
representative from Wales. The chief
drawback to the consummation of his
ambition is that ho is still an American
and cannot bo naturalized in time for
the coming election. The fact that ho
has boon an Amorlom would not inter-
furo , however , with his success in Par
liament On the contrary it would beef
of advantage to him and to Great Brit
ain. A few genuine American ideas
backed un by American vigor in the
IIouso of Commons would infuse lifo
into that body.
MORALLY the bribe giver and the

Attention bus boon called In the Journal to
tbo published statement of Governor Uoyi !
to the effect that in replying to his circular
letter concerning the advisability of n called
session of the legislature , ho said : " 1 ilnd
universal opposition on the part of tlio re
publican members to tbo latter subject ( the
necessity of establishing reasonable maxi
mum rates of transportation by railroads ) ,
and they think no railroad legislation is
ncedod. " . ,
It Is suggested1 * that this statement was
made for poliUci\ \ effect in tbo coming cam
paign. U that Js the case , the roportud
synopsis mado.by . the governor of tbo replies
to his circular-loiter , as published In yester
day's Omaha jfioo , shows that either the
synopsis or thy governor's statement is sing
ularly InuccuratQ ,
lu the synopsis or "tabulated summary"
of the replies , Mt1' Is alleged , "of those sena
tors replying , 'fouYtoon favored the proposi
tion for a maximum rate bill , eleven were
opposed and three non-committal. " Of the
eleven opposed * six declared that "nothing
less than the Tawborry bill would bo acropt-
ablo. " This Ifja'v s only rx pos'iiblo five senators

.railroad legislation./ There woro.BUVOn re

fuvorcd railroad 'legislation , twenty-six : wore
opposed and nineteen were non-committal. "
Of the twenty-six opposed twenty-throo de
clared that "nothing loss than the Nowborry
bill would bo acceptable. "
So the greatest 'possible number of repub
licans In the bouse who expressed themselves
opposed to any1 railroad legislation was
three. Thcro are twenty-one republicans in
the houso. All the members of the house
answered ttio circular according to the tabu
lated summary , except five.
The governor will please explain what ho
meant by alleging that ho found "universal
opposition on the part of republican raombors
to railroad legislation. "
Tboro are twenty-eight republican mem
bers in the two houses and , according to the
governor's tabulation , only ten mainbors of
both bouses expressed themselves averse to
railroad legislation. What has become of
tbo ether eighteen !
Let us graut , < for the sake of argument ,
that the two senators and the five members
that did not answer the circular letter uro
all republicans. i Then that loaves still

American courts of law are nothinc if not
orthodox In theology. Witnesses hold up
tholr right hands and are sworn with n de
gree of celerity that admits of no hesitancy
as to the purport of the oath. Sometimes un
added sanctity Is given to the oath by corn-
polling the witness to kiss a bible or a dic
tionary which is bound to look llko ono. it
Is nil very Intelligent and very reverent , and
ono U moved to wonder whether the cause
of religion or the crodlolllty of witnesses Is
thu moro . .affected by that perfunctory oath-
taking.
In a Chicago divorce court yesterday there
occurred an accident not without Interest
to the student of that corner-stone of Justice ,
s\yorn testimony. A 7-yoar-old boy was the
witness , ami as usual , thcro was tome ques
tion as to the admission of his testimony.
"Do you know what would happen If you
told a lie ! " inquired the court with soverlty.
"Yos , sir. God would punish mo. "
"How ! "
"By placing mo In tbo great big flro. "
This being satisfactory to ttia court the llt-
tlo witness was allowed to proceed. It Is to
bo feurod , hovyovur , that the toit applied to

Ttio ropubllcnus pf Nebraska after a some
what disustroukT oxporlenco , brought on
largely by Int'efitfecnio'conllict and In n loss
docroa by the yjMoroiice to questions of
public and parly ( interest which a powerful
uud strongly established party too often ex
hibits , have awakened to u realization of the
fact that If victory is lo bo acnloved in the
coming campaign It must bo at the price of
harmony. And the realization of this fact
has caused a widespread and generally ex
pressed doiiro for ttobolitcrallon of sectional
line * , tbo sottloMcrit ? of past difference * and
tbo complete unification of party intciosti.
This BCLtlinont is loJay expressed by almost
every leading republican iio.vdpupur In too
state , and It is backed by the Intelligent
opinion of the party loaders.
The appreciation of the gravity of the situ
ation and the uuoijssltlos of ttio oiso bin not
coma uny too soon. Ha I tno same spirit
which scorns to so generally prevail now
boon manifested In IS'.IJ ' thn humiliation of
defeat would have boon saved the repub.
licun party , and republican tiefeut in u strong
republican state Is Indeed humiliating. Hut
this Is past. Pnst history , however , lights
the torch for future progress , and the devel
opments of the last few yoare make plain iho
duty of the party in the time that is now nnd
Iho tlmo that Is to come.
Two evils menace the welfare of the party
the strong sootionnl spirit which prevails
in some portions of the state , and the mil-
moslty which past conflicts has stlrrod tip
between the factions. Geography necessarily
has nn Important place In politics ; but
geography Is not everything , and the repub
lican party can no longer niTord to have Its
strength weakened nnd destroyed bv the blt-
10111081 ot ono city , county or soctlon
toward another cllyt county or section , or
by the attempted usurpation bv ono soctlon
of the rights nnd privileges which lolone to

of factions. Ante-convention contests tmvo
been so bitter that It has boon Impossible to
overcome the bitterness In the subsequent
campaigns , nnd ttio partv tins suffered tn
consequence. Disappointment has too often
been but another word for resentment , and
rosontmunt easily develop } Into open hostil
ity , nnd hostility and Ui cord from within
the party bring defeat. In the approaching
struggle the party should unite on good mon ,
and having nominated them , they should ro-
colvo united and hearty support.
The fulfillment of tlfoso conditions means
success and it Is encouraging to note the
earnest olTorts now beinc nmdo In this direc
tion , Itut while the Indications prcsuiro har
mony and victory , It must bo remembered
that the active work of the campaign has
not oven commenced. A need deal of core
must bo exorcised If the present good fooling
is to bo maintained.
In the nomination for governor csneclally
there Is n strong possibility of discord. This
must bo avoided. The llrst consideration
should bo the adaptability and capability of
the candidate , nud If the prop'or ma'ti Is
named bo should bo warmly" supported
whether ho is or has boon Identified with
this or that so-colled faction whether he
comes from this or that section of the state.
Harmony nnd duo consideration for the
public welfare willingness to comply wltn
the reasonable demands of the people will
restore tbo republican party to Its former
and rlehtful placo.

What Is Ilelng Dunn In Atlkn It n Stircess nt
thn World' * Pair.
NEW Youtv , March 13. There now seems
to bo good reason for boliovmr ; that the pro
posed parliament of religion in connection
with the World's fair will bo n success. Kov.
John Henry Burrows , the chairman of the
general committee on religious congresses in
1SU' ) , has Just issued the first report of the
committee , clvlng the result of its corre
spondence with the rolictous loaders of the
world. Favorable responses bavo boon ro-
colvod fiom Mr. Gladstone , \VhIttior , Cardi
nal Gibbons , Alchbishops Ireland and Rymi ,
Hov. Drs. Kdwurd Halo , K. S. Storro , also
many college presidents and theological pro
fessors ; also Oliver Wendnll Holmes , Sir
Edwin Arnold , William Stead , Lord Edger-
ton and many others , that indicate clearly
enough that the Idea will receive tbo support
of all the denominations , both Catholic and
Protestant.
The following scheme of dates has boon
decided upon : Parliament of religions , Au-
eust5 ! to September3 ; Catholic congress ,
September 5 to \ } \ other churches from Sop-
tomborO to 1(1 ( ; congress of missions , Septoni-
bor 12 to 17 ; Evangelical alliance , September
19 to 24 ; Sunday Host congresses , September
'JO to 211 ; Christian Kndoavor day , September
" \Vo bolicvo , says the report , "thut the
views presented by Cardinal Gibbons will bo
reali/ed ; that tbo expectations of the most
sanguine of those who gave their minds to
this plan a ye.ir ago will bo dwarfed by the
cigantic realities ; that the congresses o'f ro-
llcion will be so noteworthy as to make an
epoch lu history. "
Special Sunday service will be held In the
various churches and various ether great de
nominational and interdenominational meetIngs -
Ings will bo hold , the dates of which are not
yet decided upon.
The Baptists and Lutherans are planning a
world's conference ; the Presbyterians may
liovo a conference , and many association's
llko'thfl'Brotherhood 6f St. Andrew und the
Young Mon's Christian ana Temperance as
sociations will hold their conferences , tlio
ccnor.il result of which will bo a full and
ndoquato picture of the religious world as
existing in 1893. It is expected that tboso
meetings will bo hold at tbo magnificent
Memorial hall arc place , where there
are twenty balls , each capable ot holding
2,000 people. Tboro will also bo moro than
twenty smaller halls , which will bo used for
smaller meetings. Tbo committee suggests
that a special committee consisting of Dr.
William Haves Ward of the Independent ,
Prof. Henry Coppo of Lehlgh university ,
Kov. William C. Ciannott , Htchard Watson
Gilder of the Century , Mrs. Elizabeth S.
Ward , Prof. W. C. Wilkinson ana Bishop
John H. Vincent , bo appointed to compile a
collection of original hymns to bo used at the
meetings , the collection to contain some
hymns which the pnoplc of all religions will
equally delight to sing- .

\V SIU\OTOX. D. C. , March in. fSpeclal
to TUB HUB. ] William S. Holmnn ot Indiana
Is a political anomaly. Ho has achieved gen
eral prominence by Individual Inslcntllcanco ,
Ho Is popular nt homo , chlolly. on account of
his unpopularity nbro.ul , Ills constituents
see In him all the virtues of Spartan simplic
ity Joined to JacUsonlan devotion to the con
stitution and unyielding opposition to nn ngo
of reckless nnd profligate extravagance In
the administration of public affairs. Ho has
boon dubbed the "Watchdog of the Treas
ury. " It Is observed that ho never growls in
his own dooryard. Homely us a southern
hedge fence , studiously slovenly In his nt-
llro , full of phrases to catch rural constitu
encies , eager to rush In whcro political nngels
would occupy n front scat and taking to the
woods In regions wtioro hoavonlv visitors
hunting after homo votes would four to
tread , Mr. Holinun Is ono of the most trans
parent of humbugs Iti the present consross.
This year lie is In his element. Ho has his
hand on the throttle of gonorul appropria
tions and Jcols that ho controls Mio right of
way for nil other bills requiring money for
their administration. Ho mot his match in
Hatch the other day when ho attempted to
prevent the passage of the agricultural tie-
llclency bill , anil ho will run Into n dozen
moro snaps before tbo season Is over. Hoi-
man Is a llrsl class humbug , Ho poses as an
neonomlst , mid a constitutional strict con-
structlonist when doing so will not Impress
him politically. Ho wblnos and grapevines
nnd bogs around when his district is mon
need by the economical mania. Holman's
idea of oconotny Is to look at a treasury ostl-
mate uud then cut it in half , Irrespective of
results. Noxtyoiir a deficiency Is passed to
make up thu difference. In other woras ,
Hnlman's economy Is based on tlio theory
that the public can't remember from ono
year to another , and that two appropriations
spread a your apart , with hundreds of un
paid clerks tn between , Is the proper method
of providing for the oxecutlvo departments.
Last year , while the mivy bill \vas under
consideration , Huluian was protesting as
usual against building ships und gnus. Wo
didn't need 'em. They weren't necessary.
The people in his doestrlct had not called for
them. Congressman McAdoo replied with
some heat that ho hoped to live long onouuh
to sco the magnificent work done by Amor-
lean RUU foundries so extended and so im
proved that a cun would bo built powerful
enough to penetrate a hirn in tbu gentleman
from Indiana's ' district nnd to kill an old rod
cow therein. "Then,11 said Mr. McAdoo.
"tho great economist will bo howling for
appropriations loc coast defouso and ships ,
an increased navy nnd the glory of the Amer
ican Hag. "
Holman's power lies In the fact that n largo
proportion of the business of congress must
bo done by unanimous consent. A slnglo
objection very often prevents consideration.
A single objection as often shelves forever a
measure which has passed through vho dreary
routine of introduction , reference , committee
consldeiation , report back to the housa or
senate , and which has wearily worked Its
way up to the top of the c.ilonaar. Nothing
Is easier than for a congressman sitting In
his Meat to Interpose objections to measures
seeking consideration nnd which can only
come up by unanimous consent , to kill others
which are pending , by pointing out the ab
sence of a quorum , or toraiso points of order
on bills to which they are applicable , how
ever worthy tbo object or however desirous
an overwhelming majority of members may
be to see the measure passed.
It has boon by tactics of this character
that Holman has made himself prominent.
His name Is Identified with no measure of
national importance. His voice rings out In
tbo house on no great economical question.
Ho Is the npostlo of "choiso paring , " the
prophet of parsimony , the evangel of mlnuto
meanness. Department clerks are harmless
politically. Holman Is for cutting down tholr
salaries or making them wait a your for their
pay. The army and navy uo not voto. Hol
man Is the porslstont advocate of reduood ap
propriations for both. The District of Co
lumbia has boon long disfranchised. The
gentleman from Indiana makes nn annual
raid on the district bill nnd swings his eco
nomical sulckorsnoo over pavements nnd sewers
ers , parks ana reservations. Public build
ings are demanded at a goodly distance from
Indiana. Mr. Holman lies In wait for a fit
ting chance and paralyzes the member who
ventures to ask for unanimous consenf .
HU humbuggery is made diaphanous , how
ever , when a measure In which Indiana Is in
terested comes up. Mr. Holmuu't bark tbun
becomes a mellow whine. His oft re
peated howls for economy dlo away Into a
\\hlsporofdlsscnt so faint that his nourust
neighbors cannot hoar it. Ho begs for votes
and cries for quarter. In the Flfty-Hrst congress -
gross the pjbllo buildings committee hoacipj
off nil Holman's opposition bv deliberately
holding up n measure In which ho wns Inter ,
ostod until It ha I passed n batch of bills to
which ho would hnvo certainly objcotod had
ho not fonrcd that ho would hnvo been shut
out from tlio purk bnirol In eotucquonco ,
The same method his boon employed with
success In tbo pensions committoo. " It K the
only one Hint l curtain of ! > uccoss with the
most arrant doniugoguo In the houso.
This U the dressing down that Mr. Hoi
man received from u member of his own
parly , Chairman Hatch of the agricultural
commlttcoo , on last Saturday , when tin
grout objector nttomptod to block the agrl
cultural dollclf noy bill. Mr. Hatch said :
" 1 do not ugroo with the gmitloiuaii from
Indiana , or his mnthods , or his rule" , or his
laws of Interpretation or construction , 1
have seen him tlmo nnd tlmo again when ho
would tnko the knlfo of the constitution and
pare nn appropriation so close that you could
not sco It under n microscope , anil when his
own state was Interested 1 have seen hlu
open tbo door broader than would allow this
cupilol togothiough , "
Cnoors , upplausa nnd wild laughter on both
sides of the chamber showed that Hatch 'a
hiUmd told. " ,
Nothing Is easier than for n congressional
demagogue to attain notoriety. So long ni
the notoriety Is cntncd tit the oxncnso of
other sections than that , which no depends
upon for Ins votes , the howls and execrations
nnd criticisms nnd sarcasm do not inure ] his
political prospects. His constituency tnkos
notoriety for reputation , and Is proud of the
promlnonco gained by its representative.
Holman is Invincible In his district. Ha
looks most nurofully alter his fence . Ho
tlcktos the farmer with Platitudes about
ngrtculttiro. Ho warms the old soldiers'
hearts with panegyrics on patriotism. Kvory
two years ho nmkos u school housa camp.ilgn
throughout tbo counties' In his district ,
evades national Issues ? glides easily over
'
every disturbing topic nnd then loads' boldly
up to his record. Ho retails in detail the
work he has done for his friends nt homo.
Ho catalogues the money ho has " < iavod" thu
government by knocking out Items In appro
priation bills. And the honest farmers of
the Fourth Indiana district smile In approv
ing response , nnd chant in unison " ( Jrcnt U
Democracy and UIU Holman is Its 1'rophoU"

Nob. , March 11. ! [ Special to
Tins Hr.n.1 Charles Armbrustor wns ono of
Dawson county's first settlers. Ho cnmo to
this county in April , 1871 , from Forreston ,
Ogle Bounty , III. Ho landed In Plu m Creek
with one team of horses , two cows and $ . ' ) . " > ( )
in cash. His first purchase \\.is U.'O ncros of
Union Paclllu railroad lands , which he pur
chased on ton years time , paving ono-tonth
cash , the llrst payment being flftO. Ho built
himself a small frame bouse , broku clu-hty
nuros in thu year 1ST ) nnd planted It to sod
corn. The crop was n total failure. In ISTfi
ho planted this name land again to crop and
the frrusshoppors took overruling In sight.
By. this time the old homesteaders be
came tired of Dawson county nnd
loft for now fields , but Mr. Armbrustor
abandoned his retlroad land and made n
homestead entry on Hit ) acres ndjalnlncr his
former farm. Ho also made a tree claim
entry in the year ISTfl. Ho kept nt fnnnini : ,
with the nid ot his family , ( ho himself being
employed on the railroad section to support
his wlfo nnd children , ) until the your IhSO ,
when he succeeded in raising his first crop
worth any mention. Since then ho has by his
own hnrd'work and good mnnagomontsccurcd
enough of this world's goods to satisfy him.
At prodont he owns 010 acres of land sir.
miles northwest of Lexington , under goo >
cultivation , four farms valued ut $ TO per
acre , and bo also has 100 head of good
blooded cattle , thirty-five or fortv good
horses , besides a : ! 30 aero farm in Frontier
county valued at $ . ' ,500 , a good proud bnn'.i
account of several thousand. His woaltlr
amounts to nt least $30,000.
A. Henry owns n fnrm of 320 ncras twelve
miles northwest of Lexington. Ho came to
Dawson county in the year ] ST. > uud has been
ono of the old pioneers. Ho has seen all the
hard times of un ourly pioneer In a now
country , and can toll some bard facts about
grasshoppers and drouth in tlio uurly ' 70s.
Mr. Henry first settled on n bomosuiud of 100
acres , nnd In the year ISM ) ho purchased on
additional UK ) of the Union Pacific Kallroad
company , p lying therefor W per ncix1 , ( then
thu usual price , ) in ten annual payments. At
prusunt Mr. II. Is looked upon ns onu of Dawson -
son county's ' most suostantlul farmors. Ho
is the proud possessor of n fine herd of cattle
of forty or fifty bend , suvon or olgl't good
teams and plenty of all kinds of
feed and rain , with fruit of his own ,
growing f-uch as grapes , apples , ncaclios
und smaller varieties. By strictly Jogltimnto
farming and n Judicious husbanding of his
resources ho has accumulated property
which will rate him as worth $10,001) or
$11,000 , nnd his success Is fairly equaled by
others of tbo industrious citizens of Dawson \
o unty.
T. A. Taylor of Corad came hero In 1871
with but a few dollars In hand , and a lariru
family. He has seen all of the pioneer times ,
and in tbo early dftys supported his family In
the summer tlmo by chopping cedar and
hauling it to market , a distance of fifvy-tlvo
miles. In the winter ho would shoulder his
gun and go for wild game , such ox antelope ,
oik and doer , of which this country tied
abundance , nnd great was his success. In
the year 1880 ho commenced farming to a
largo oxtnnt on a farm of 100 act us of gov
ernment land and lOO acres of railroad land
and ho has prospered since. Today ho can
bo credited with U40 acras of good land , Una
Improvements , pastures full of stock and
his Judicious management has placed him
among tno number of Dawcon county's ' liost
farmers , and ho is rated as worth f 0,00l ) in
real ostatoand personal proporty.
