F/iosi'imovs Something Concerning Ono of Ncbrnskft'i Itnnncr Countlcn. Coi.tMnns , Neb. , May 20. [ Special Cor respondence. ] Platte county , lylnc on the north side of the Platte river , in the eastern portion of the state , contains 137,760 acres of land , with 200,020acres under cultivation , and has a population of 22,000. It Is well settled nnd contains several good trading stations , besides its principal city , among them being Monroe , Humphry , Platte Con tcr , Crcston , Duncan , Cornlc.i nnd Lindsay. Its principal crops are corn , oats nnd hay , nnd stock raising Is ono of Its leading In dustries , making It for a small county very wealthy. Though the season Is qulto lute , the crop outlook.Is excellent , the small grain being well advanced nnd most of the corn already planted. This section has been blessed with some ( rood rains of late , which makes the farmer ns well as the business man feel safe regarding a crop this summer nnd fall. Platte county Is particularly favored with railroads the main line of the Union Pacific running through tnc south part from cast to west , nnd Its lines from Lincoln to Sioux City , Columbus to Genoa , Albion nnd Cedar Haplds ; the I ) . &M. from Lincoln , nnd the Elkhorn from Fremont to Albion also cross the county. Columbus , the county scat , Is situated on the main line of the Union Pacific nnd is the terminus of the Omaha & Republican Vnl- loy ; Columbus to Lincoln via the Union Pa cific , nnd Columbus to Lincoln via the Bur lington route gives them ns good railroad facilities ns any Inland town In the state. It has a population of 11,1150 anil is steadily Increasing ; has many line brink blocks , a good court house , two largo roller flouring mills , n creamery , owned by a stock com pany and employing ten men , a cigar fac tory employing eight hands , n largo cold storage building with a capacity for storing fifteen carloads and shipping out two carloads of produce per wccic , two elevators , a brewery , ono largo Jobbing house keeping two salesmen on the road , a soap factory and many smaller Industries. This being a division station on the Union Pacific road , about 100 employes are located hero , to whom the road dls- tributes monthly over $0.000. Columbus also has three good hotels , all of which seem to bo prosperous. Four weekly newspapers disncnso politics , religion and news to a largo list of readers. The Journal , a republican and the oldest paper In the county ; the Telegram , n rock-ribbed democrat ; the Aixus. a middle-of-the-road populist , and the Wochenblatt , a German republican. The creamery company also publishes n monthly , devoted to the creamery nnd cheese inter ests , which has a good circulation in the state. The Catholics here have one of the largest schools , hospital , monastery and church buildings , in the state. The grounds upon which these buildings are located contain thirty acres , adjoining the city on the east. The school has over 800 boarding students and is under the immediate charge of leather Paciflous. Among the immediate prominent promised Improvements Is that of digging a water 1)0wer canal , tapping theLouprivcrwcstand bringing the water on to the blurt's north of the city and for this purpose the Columbus canal and water power company has hero organized with a capital of $100.000 ana it expects soon to begin operations. The com pany is composed of G. W. Phillips , W. A. McAllister , A. G. Arnold , W. H. Klghtmlre , Henry Hagatz , D. Schupback and A. Jacggl. This body of gentlemen comprise some of the wealthiest and most energetic men of of the city , and they nro determined that Columbus shall enjoy the benefits , advant ages and prosperity which have come to other cities of the state by creating a water power I and if properly managed and pushed the people of Columbus will soon have her manufacturics , street cars , electric lights , etc. , run by electricity. Platte county and Columbus contain many prominent politicians and statesmen. Hon. M. K. Turner , who came ; so near defeating Hon. E. 1C. Valentino for congress twelve years ago ; Hon. Lcauder Girard , ex-state senator , whoso friends have had aspir ations to make him governor or United States senator ; Hon. James North , who held down a scat in the state senate last winter , ana who expects to serve his country and Mr. Cleveland as collector of this internal revenue district as soon as Mr. Peters doffs his official robes. Hon. Mr. Irwin , who is one of the originators of the great Impeachment trial , which is now rending the hearts and feelings of several state and ex-state officers , is legitimately engaged In the cultivation of a farm a few miles from the city , and rather seems to think he has discovered a scheme which will prevent so many largo expenditures of the state money for private uses , if nothing moro. Mr. Sohelp , who was Mr. Irwin's colleague , is a resident of this county. K. H. Henry , president of the state board of agriculture , lives in this thriving agricul tural community nnd Is very enthusiastic over the qomlng state fair , in splto of the great attraction at Chicago. Colonel J. B. Meagher , one of the oldest employes of the Union Pacific road , is the station agent hero , and Is deservedly popu lar as a man and a railroad man. The city Is in peed hands , owns her own water works system , has a line corps of vol unteer flro laddies , has a good system of electric lights , and it will some day gladden the heart of Mark Twain that ho founded so good a town upon the then staked plains. -o- oMill Mill KV.

Of the many places seen , I shall make hrlef men tion of only a few. The llrst is the town of Kingfisher , the county seat of Kingfisher county. It is on the Hock Island railroad , about four miles south of the Clmmaron rlver. With a population of about 2,500. , It exhibits all the energy , push and hopeful ness that could reasonably bo expected , About thirty miles south Is the town of Elrcno. The slto is upon an elevated table land , some two or three miles south of the North Canadian river. It Is the shlro town of Canadian county , nnd n supply center for qulto an extended tract of country. It draws considerable trade from Fort Hcno and the Darlington Indian agency. It has a population of 9,000. Its busi ness houses are numerous. It has four banks , flvo weekly newspapers and Is well equipped with churches and schools. Its people nro enthusiastic over Its future prospects nnd nro pushing forward In n con fidence naturally uorn of that state of fool ing , it is situated nt the point whcro the Hock Island and Choctaw railroads intersect each other , the former running In a south erly direction , the latter In an easterly direction. About flvo miles west , upon high , level ground , stands Fort Hcno , an old govern ment post. The troops still kept hero num ber about 450 all told. The national govern ment disburses hero to soldiers , to Indian police and for military supplies about 5500- 000 annually. The dally cavalry drills and the semi-weekly concerts of the Mounted Fifth Cavalry band make it a favorite resort for the pcoplo of neighboring towns. Aside from the band Just named ills claimed thcro is but one other mounted band in the United States. On looking to the nottlnrcst from Elrono the Darlington Indian agency comes in a view at a distance of some four miles. Shrub nnd fruit trees planted there ten and twelve years ago , having now grown to sur prising dimensions , give it an attractive appearance. At this agency the Araparoo and Cheyenne Indians , numbering nearly 4.000 , arc supplied with food and clothing by the government at an annual expenditure of nearly $500,000. Hero the government bus paid in cash annuities to Indians over ? 500- 000 during last year. In addition to also paying out of these sums the government maintains at this point three Indian schools aud a largo farm for their benefit and in struction. Oulahoma City ! the county seat oC Okla homa county , is duo. of the most prosperous towns in the territory' . Situated on the line of. the Santa Fo railroad , about thirty-five miles south of Guthrle , immediately north of the North Cana'dia'n river and surrounded by rich agricultural country , its past has been marked by rapid'Rrowth and Its future is full of promise.1 Its streets , while broad and commodious , being 80 and 100 feet in width , have a number fit'"Jogs" in them. This , of course , while detracting from their sight liness , increases also to some extent the number of turns to bo made in driving through them. Thesb jogs were made in order to obviate the necessity of tearing down largo and costly buildings which had been erected at an ' 'early ' day before the exact location of streets had been de termined. Most of its business buildings consist of two und tlireo story structures. Stone and brick constitute the material used iu their construction. The style of their architecture is us varied and artistic as will Do observed anywhere. Churches and Sun day schools abound. Several daily aud weekly newspapers are published. Its pub lic schools are adequate to its needs nnd in good condition. Besides the Santa Fo there is a short line of railroad known as the Choctaw , which runs westward ns far as Fort Heno. In the very nature of things it will not bo long till this road will bo ex tended beyond its present termination in both an easterly and a westerly direction along the valley of the North Canadian river. Oklahoma City has a population of 9,000 , possibly more , and gives evidence of being the wealthiest , most progressive and most widc-awnko business town in the \vholo territory. Like Guthrle and the sev eral other towns already named , it was founded April 22 , 1SS9. Besides these specifically alluded to there are within the territory a number of smaller towns with a population ranging from 200 to 500. Passing trom towns to the territory at largo something of general Interest may , perhaps , bo said. Its area Is about 38,000 square miles , or half that of Nebraska. It is bounded on the north by that pact of In dian Territory known as the Cherokee Strip and on the west by Texas. From Texas it extends eastward with an irregular boundary a distance of about 250 miles. Its central and eastern parts are well watered. Its three rivers are thoCimmaron , the North Canadian and the South Canadian. The Little river , Cotton Wood and the Skeleton are its larger creeks. Smaller streams are numerous. In some places Its soil is known as a red , sandy loam , In others , and espe cially between the Canadian rivers , immense - menso bodies of black alluvium are found. Much moro native timber grows in the east ern half of the territory than is generally the case with a prairie country. It flourishes on the divides among the highlands , as well ns In the valleys. At the present tlmo it fur nishes all the fuel consumed by farmers and is used by them for fencing posts and in the construction of barns and stables. Largo quantities of land nro Inclosed by wire fences and an Immense acreage is under cultivation , Largo numbers of shade and fruit trees have been planted nnd , so far , they have been ex ceedingly thrifty in their growth. The variety of crops which may be raised is somewhat remarkable und the yield is all that can reasonably bo desired. Corn , wheat , rye , oats , barley and potatoes are grown. Garden vegetables and melons of various kinds , apple : , peaches , pears , cher ries , strawberries and other fruits are raised in abundance. Cotton has also been tried and the yield proved sufllclcnt to make its cultivation profitable , 1 am imformod the following are specimens of agricultural 1 products to bo exhibited at the World's fair In Chicago : An onioii' ' weighing U pounds 1 ounce , a potato'0 pounds , a cabbage 1ii 1r pounds , a watorniel6u 70 pounds , a squash 100 pounds , a Wet , 17 pounds , samples iiS iit of oats liJO per aero , cjover 4 feet high , tim 1- othy 7 feet nig ) ; ' , 'a cornstalic 14 fcot high and n b'unt'h of native grass 21 foot high. tioW ; } is all this ' 'for high ! " H would doubtless bo worth while for Nebraskans VisitlpK the World's fair to make a special effort to got a glance at the exhibits which Oklahoma will have there to instruct , to plcai/o / 'and ' to astound. Good building stone is found in many places. Dis coveries of coal Have been reported in n few localities , but as ytit nothing reliable is known as to its existence. Gypsum Is said to bo plentiful lif the western parts of the territory. The rajlroiids are the Santu Fo and the Hock Island , b&th of which cross the territory In u northerly nnd southerly direc tion at a distance ofUilrty-flvc ! miles from each other , and the Choctaw , extending eastward along the North Canadian valley from Fort Ucno to Oklahoma City. Commendable interest has been mani I- fested in educational matters. The youth of the territory , all things considered , are well provided with schools , It may hero bo observed that the only female academy 10n Oklahoma was founded by the Benedlctino sisters. It is situated about ono mile west of Guthrioou a beautiful elevation amid picturesque surroundings. Including base- raent.it is a four-story brick building , o10 feet long by 50 wide. It has an excellent corps of teachers aud will accommodate moro than 100 pupils. Churches and Sunday schools wcro early on the ground. iyo llglous services wcro conducted at several places where townsltcs were located , on the llrst Sunday after lands were thrown open for ftcttlctncnt. In some instances Jhoy were held In tents ) In others , In the ' opoTl nir JUO'O. smlce * did much , no doubt , lo preserve poJied nU good order amid a confused and unsettled condition uf things naturally tending to oxclto disagree ments , disputes , lawlessness and violence. Ministers of the gospel and church pcoplo generally , nro , therefore , to bo congratu lated upon thn energy displayed In the es tablishment of regular forms ot Christian worship In largo communities composed of persons all strangers to each other , brought together In numbers running from 10,000 to 20,000 In a single day , and who , for nearly a year thereafter , so far aa local laws wcro concerned , continued mcasuraoly , In n state of nature. In the northwestern extremity of the territory - ritory the moan annual tcmpcraturo Fahrenheit. In the southeastern extremity ItlsGO3. The mean annual temperature at Omaha boinp43 = , is C = below the coldest point In Oklahoma. The annual rainfall In the extreme western part of the territory la from in to SO inches , In the central part nbout 30 Inches and In the southeastern part n llttlo in excess of 50 Inches. Wind and dust ' are In motion much of the time in the west half of the territory , causing a certain degree of unpleasantness. In the cast half the annoyance from thli source li consider ably less. ThU disagreeable feature of the cllmato will , however , gradually disappear as the country grows older and the forces of civilization begin to work out their neces sary results. Cyclones do not visit this sec tion very often , but when they como they are sometimes quite destructive as recent events have shown. Seldom , however , ns they "show up'1 their appearance Is not Uuilcd with rejoicing nor Is their departure the occasion of serious rigrot. While , sci entifically , they are said to bo purifiers of the atmosphere , yet the service which they perform is not at all desirable from a purely practical point of view. This statement Is uartlcularly true as to these who happen to fall within the range of their operations. The Judgment of this class of people , resting as It does upon actual experience , seems to weigh so heavily with others that nobody else thinks it worth while to lest it by per sonal experiment ns a means of determin ing Us soundness. This is one of the In stances in which all men are disposed to bo perfectly satisfied with the testimony of others. While sod houses and dugouts are said to bo the dwelling places of many people ple In the territory , 1 have ns yet como across but ono ot these structures. All along my lines of travel through rur.il dis tricts , the houses seen wcro com fortable , substantial frame buildings. Many of them wcro qulto large , nicely painted and ornately finished , thus tundlut * to leave on one's mind an Impression that the country was long s'.nco settled. According to an ofllclal report made to the secretary of the Interior during the latter part of last year by lion. A. J. Seay , the present gov ernor of the territory , the assessed value of all taxable property in IS'Jl ' was $0,878,023.03 , while that of 1892 was Stl,483lG3.45. Hero Is an Increase of $4COt ) , ' . > a3.50 , or nearly 70 per cent in a single year. Within a year or two moro many Homesteads will become tax able which are now exempt therefrom. Hevcnucs will then increase with great rapidity and steps will doubtless bo taken looking to the erection of territorial , county and inuniciDal buildings for public use. It may bo of Interest to the readers of Tun HE to know that by the provisions of the organic act passed by congress providing iv temporary form of government for Okla homa , It was declared that the laws of Ne braska in force In 18S9 , relating to "Animals , assignments , attorneys , bonds , official oaths , chattel } mortgages , cities of the llrst and second class , common law , corporations , pro bate courts , decedents , deputies , divorces , fees , frauds , homesteads , interest , I'.quors , marriages and married women" should ] bo and constitute a part of the local laws of the territory till after the adjournment of its first legislative assembly. It would bo a dif ficult question , perhaps , to determine who were the more strongly entitled to congratu lation , the members of congress for their wisdom in drawing so freely from Nebraska laws or the people of Oklahoma in having the good fortune to live for a while under the reign of these benign statutes. Corn is now up and in places is being plowed. Wheat is over a foot high and has a healthy color. Garden vegetables , native grasses and crops of all kinds are looking well. Everything indicates a good year for the farmer. What has been stated in Will euro You , is a true statement of the action of AVER'S Sarsaparilla , when taken for diseases originating in impure blood ; but , while this assertion is true of AVER'S Sarsaparilla , as thousands can attest , it cannot bo truthfully applied to other preparations , which unprincipled dealers will recommend , and try to impose - pose upon you , as "just as good as Ayer's. " Take Ayer's Sarsaparilla and Aycr's only , if you need a blood-purifier and would be benefited permanently. This medicine , for nearly fifty years , has enjoyed a reputation , and made a record for euros , that has never been equaled by other pieparntions. AVER'S Sarsaparilla eradicates the taint of he reditary scrofula and other blood dis eases from the system , and It has , deser vedly , the confidence of the pcoplo. SarsaparilSa "I cannot forbear to express my joy nt the relief I have obtained from the use of. AVER'S Saraaparilln. I was afflicted with kidney troubles for about six months , suffering greatly with pains In the small of my back , In addition to this , tny body was covered with pimply eruptions. The remedies prescribed ( ailed to help mo. I then bean ( ; to take AVER'S Sarsaparilla , and , In n short time , the pains ceased and the plmplca disappeared , I advise every young man or woman , in case of sickness result ing' from Impure blood , no matter how long standing the case may be , to take AYEH'S Sarsaparilla.
