Right at this tlmo anything In connection
with Francis C. Grablo seems to bo of Inter
est to the public and Tiartlcularly so to this
community , where ho was quite well known.
Heretofore llttlo has been said or written
relative to the early career of the promoter
who boomed Edgemont , S. D. , and the In
dustries thereabouts. The following Is a
sketch of his career from the days of his
boyhood down to the date of the bursting of
his Rlack Hills bubble :
Francis C. arableIs the son of Jonathan
flrable , a wealthy .farmer of Framklln
county , Ohio. Ho waa born on a farm near
the town of Pataskoa , about forty mllea from
Columbus. Ho received a common school
and academic education and on leaving
school went to work as clerk In the general
store and postolllco at Etna , O. When 18
years of ago ho came to Rrownvlllo , this
state , and teigagcd in clerical work. Boon
after this ho was elected Justice of the
peace. Leaving Rrownvlllo In 1875 , Grablo
went to Falls City and , with capital furnished
by relatives , engaged In the banking busi
ness , Ho was cashier of the bank , which
collapsed In the fall of 187C. Leaving Falls
City ho went to Kearney , where he- first
became Interested In the real estate and
townslto business ,
Small towns were then beginning to spring
up throughout the atato and Rrabto got
his first Insight In the promoting line , and
began the struggle for wealth with an un
limited amount of nerve , a clear head end a
few dollars in money. For awhile ho lived
the llfo of all real estate dealers In email
towns , and managed to make a llttlo
mcnoy. Ho was very fastidious In manner
and dress , and was looked upon by his
neighbors as putting on airs. Upon coming
to Omaha bo was able , through his posi
tion as emigrant ogont for the H. & M. to
promote hta townnlto schemes and began to
realize upon them.
Ho took up tbo irrigation business and hU
first big schema In this line was
floated from the country surrounding Groe-
ley , Colo. , where ho now has a largo horao
ranch In charge of a nephew.
The schema of the company was to run
ditches through the doaort surroundings and
make of It a great farming and producing
country , cut it up into ton , twenty and forty-
aero tracts , and sell them as fruit and other
farms to laboring men. This scheme waa
successful in part , and would have been
all right had not the company bought a
largo tract of land from a western syndi
cate that Is eald to have swindled arable's
company out of about $10,000 on bick taxeo ,
whlrh had not been paid on the land.
This laud was not located near water , nor
could water bo carried to It owing to the
topography of * the country between It ana
the rivers , Engineers were sent out and
looked over the ground ; a geologist or two
prospected the ground and finally the com
pany came to the conclusion that a largo
underground river flowed beneath the tract.
Thld river was to bo tapped , artesian weU ! >
sunk and an unlimited supply of water to be
secured , The engineers surveyed the ground ,
the ditches were dug and the land platted
and sold. Many Nebraakans sold their
farms to buy land In the new Utopia , The
river never materialized , the artesian wclU

never flowed and those with embryo ranches
on their hands came back to Nebraska sadder
dor , but wiser men.
Operations were next started near Grand
Junction on the Grande river and raoro fruli
farms wcro mapped out. About this time
the grindstone factory at EMgemont began
operations ; an electric light plant was pui
up and the booming of Edgeraout began.
Grabel controlled large ) properties In Denvch
nnd owned a forty-acre form at Morrison.
Colo. , sixteen miles from Denver. Some gold
was found In the little stream that coursed
through the farm and a Swede who rented
the place from Grable Is said to have panned
out about an ounce of gold per week. The
Swede , assisted by arable's Denver agent ,
discovered grindstones on the farm. Another
grindstone factory was established and a
very superior grade of grind and lapidary
stone was turned out.
The gold mines nt Galena , S , D , , were now
being boomed and Grablo secured a number
of claims. A smelter and stamp mills were
orcctcd and eastern capital Interested. It
was necessary to sell a great deal of mining
stocks to develop the mines and this was
done by bringing parties of prospective In
vestors to the mines. These excursions wore
usually In charge of F. C , Grablo or his
brother , J , S. Grablo , superintendent of the
Union Hill Mining company. The trains
would take on parties along the route , and
usually at some place In Iowa an agent ot
the company would board the train , appear
ing In the guUo io ( a prospective Investor.
The agent would make the trip with the
party , look over the mines , be apparently
pleased with them and would Invest , then go
back and waitfor , another party to come
through and repeat tbo same performance.

Assistant Secretary Denting of the Ne
braska Exposition commission has received
a rough sketch showing the ground plan of
the proposed exhibit to be made by the
museum of the University ot 'Nebraska ' nt
the exposition. This nhows the general
character of the exhibits and the grouping.
It Is proposed to occupy a rectangular space
arranged to represent the Interior of a largo
room , with an entrance arch opening on one
of the main aisles , Around the walls ot
this room will bo arranged the forestry ex
hibit and In the center will be cases con
taining the other exhibits. Among the lat
ter will be a collection of soil from each
county In Nebraska , n collection showing
the various kinds of cla > s found In the state ,
another showing all of the varieties of
building stone and the sections in which
they are found.
The center of the room will bo occupied
by a very largo collection of the gigantic
foEsllo found only In Nebraska , thu huge
"devil's corkscrews , " found In the alkali
section of the northwestern part of the
state. A gigantic skeleton of some antedcltl-
vlan monster found In this same section Is
now bolng assembled at the museum and
will form n part of the exhibit. There are
numerous other things which will have
place In the exhibit , many of them having
no particular relation to Nebraska.
Mr. Dcarlng Is quite enthusiastic over
the display which wlil be made by the
museum. Ho Is familiar with the material
owned by the university , and says the
people of Nebraska will 'bo as much sur
prised as residents of other stolen when

NEHUASKA'S CHEAT FORESTS.
"I venture to sny there are few people In
Nebraska. " said the assistant secretary ,
"who know that this state Is ahead of every
other state In the union la the matter of
planted -trees. The forestry exhibit which
will bo made by the museum will 'be one of
the most extensive which can be made by
any state. It Is being added to constantly ,
and I believe It will bo an eye opener to
people who have not kept pace with the
progress which has been made In tree plane-
Ing In Nebraska within the last twenty-live
or thirty years. The Increase In the number
of trees on our prairies Is simply phenomenal
and there arc hundreds of'acres of timber
largo enough for commercial purposes.
"Our clays and building stone are other
things with which our people are not as
familiar as they might be , and 1 believe
the showing which will be made In those
lines by the university will surprise our
people.
"Nebraska people may not remember , "
continued Dr. Dearlng , "that Oiss county ,
Nebraska , was awarded the first prize at the
Ci'iite-nnlal exposition In Philadelphia for
growing 'the largest apple ever produced. A
plaster cast of this monster Is now in the
possession of the Agricultural deportment at
Washington and I am endevaorlng to secure
the cast or a copy of It for 'our ' exhibit.
"Dy reason of our ofllce being located In
the Millard hotel , " remarked the assistant
secretary , as ho warmed up to the subject ,
"I am constantly thro.wn In contact with
traveling men from every section of the
country. They naturally como In hero to
nriko liujulry about the exposition and they
express their views very freely. As a result
of Information -acquired In this way , I am
prepared to say that the attendance
St this exposition frcm the east
Is going to be simply tre
mendous. These traveling men toll me of
preparations which are even now being
made by various commercial Interests In
all parts of the cast to como to the exposi
tion and remain for two or three weeks.
Thcc'o .people will come In large parties ;
some of t'hem will como In special sleeping
cars nnd will remain In them while here ,
but the largo majority will como with the
Intention of stopping at the hotels nnd pri
vate houses.
"All this simply means that the town
is going to bo completely overrun with
crowds of people and that the exposition la
going to bo a marvellous success. There Is
moro doubt right hero In Omaha regarding
the exposition and moro belittling
the enterprise than In any other
part of the country. Omaha people
don't appreciate what a glgan-
tic thing they have In their midst and they
will not 'be ' convinced of It untilthey are
Dwampod with visitors from all parts of the
country. "

Ono of tbo designs which has been de
cided on by the I'ostolllco department for
one of the exposition postage stamps Is
that of 'Marquetto ' discovering the Missis
sippi river , but some little dlfllculty has
been encountered in finding a picture de
pleting that event which might be used as
a model for a sketch Int order to save time.
The postofllco otllcials wrote to 'Manager
Hoscwatt-r , who suggested this subject as a
proper onu for one of tbo stamps , and re
quested him to send a copy of a picture era
a sketch , as nothing of the kind could bo
found In Waihlngtcti.
Sir. Ilosowator searched local repositories
for a copy of Lumprecbt's famous paint
ing depicting the famous missionary on the
banks of the mighty Father of Waters. This
painting Is regarded as tbo most authentic
representation of the visit of the first white
man to those regions In 1C73 and Is gen
erally regarded as being historically correct
No trace of the picture or of any copy of It
could bo found In Omaha and Mr- limewater -
water wrote to the Marquctto club in Chicago
cage , thinking that a prominent club named
for the great explorer might have this
famous picture or might , at least , know
something about It. The answer Indicate *
however , that the club was In Egyptian dnrl <
ness regarding the picture and Us where

Thinking thnt porhnps the picture mlgli
bo somewhere In the region most frequente
by the eminent Jesuit during the rnrly day
of the northwest , Mr. Rewownter tclogrnphe
to Milwaukee nnd received n reply thnt th
painting was there. ArrnnRemcnts wer

.It was the consensus of opinion among the
