TELLS OF HARDSHIPS F PIONEERS Recalls Extraordinary -Work of Bolldlnir Union Paelne at Rate of Front Two to Five Mile Dnlly. Dr. George L. Miller delivered a lecture last evening in the Castellar Presbyterian church on the subject of "Omaha Fifty Tears Ago and Now," under the auspices of the Christian Cltlienahlp committee of the Christian Endeavor society. Dr. Miller wss Introduced to the large audience In a happy address by Corliss F. Harper, chairman of the committee. Dr. Miller, who wss born and educated In New Tork, first saw the present site of Omaha In 1854, after a long atage ride of 320 miles from Keokuk, la. The rolling prairie made him feel lonesome In contrast with the beautiful Adirondack forests of New Tork. This was in October, 1854. Hs said that at that time there waa not a white' person, except at Indian agencies. In the vast atrip of country extending from the Canadian line down through Nebraska and Kansas, and from the Missouri river to nearly the Rocky mountains. The popu lation of the Omaha of that time consisted of nine white people, Including one little girl of about 6 years. There waa a scatter ing population along the eastern edge of Iowa, but western low waa a wilderness. Weary Joaraey Across Iowa. The average Journey across Iowa In those days consumed five days and four nights. The chief population, of course, waa made up of Qmaba Indians, who afterwarda be came Involved In a prolonged war with the Stoux and Pawnees. When Dr. Miller crossed the Missouri river the father of the little girl mentioned waa building a house of clapboards at what Is now Twelfth and Farnam streets. John M. Thayer, who afterwards became gov ernor of Nebraska, next built a house In the following year. The houses previously constructed were really dugouta without floors and even what are now considered the simplest conveniences. Dr. Miller established himself In the course of time near what Is now the cor ner of Twenty-fourth and Cuming streets. Governor Cuming, while territorial secre tary, appointed Dr. Miller clerk of the ter ritorial counoll. He paid Governor Cum ing an eloquent tribute aa being a man of most remarkable attainments, whose pre dictions as to the future prosperity of Ne braska and the west generally have been verified with singular exactness. Vision of Marvelsai Changes. "Omaha waa fortunate," said Dr. Miller, In having at the very beginning of Its existence a number of men who had a high conception of the true foundations of a prosperous and well-governed common wealth. They aeemed to have a vision of the marveloua changes the future would bring about and they had the principles of high personal character and sound morale, coupled with splendid energy and deter mination, to hold them steady In the many exciting perloda attending the building up of Omaha from a few dugout residences to the time when rivalries were overcome, and Omaha began her latter-day prosperous period. It waa the work of these men who made the Omaha of today 'possible, and. In deed, they had much to do with the de velopment of the atate at large, not only In politics and commerce, but in the estab lishment of public schools and churches. "But the men were able to take care of themselves. The highest tribute due to heroism must be paid to the faithful, loyal and pious mothers of those early days. They were, after all, the true founders of the great state of Nebraska. Most of them are now sleeping in the cemetery, as Is also the faithful, loving partner of my am bitions and struggles." Rivalry for Railroad. Dr. Miller rapidly referred to the rival ries that sprang up In connection with the construction of the Union Pacific railway. Omaha had waited fifteen yeara for a rail road and telegraph. He related how Gen eral Sherman waa given an excursion on the railroad which George Francis Train had called "horrible and' alow Jogging." The seata were empty nail kegs. Dr. Mil Her related that General Sherman said he did not expect to live to aea the railroad completed to the Pacific, but It waa only a few yeara afterward when General Sher man rode from Omaha to San Francisco in a Pullman car. Dr. Miller recalled what he considered the most extraordinary feat of human energy of modern times, the building of the Union Pacific at the rate of from two to five miles a day. . Dr. Miller waa addressing himself chiefly to the young people and all through the lecture ran a train of suggestions to young men and women. He deplored the too widespread Idea that the young people of today did not have aa good opportunities for making themselves prosperous aa the pioneers of the country. He said the con dltlona attending business today afford far auperlor chances of success, ao long as the young Imitated with unyielding tenacity of purpose the aound moral principles that controlled the pioneer of Omaha and Ne braska generally. High character, he aald, coupled with application. In any honest employment, ia the best capital to have In the struggle for success, and with those given, auccesa In any line of Industry is certain: TELLS OF THE ASSIGNMENTS Valet Jones Bays Rice Never Afflict His Slnaatare the Papera. NEW TORK, Feb. 21. When the trial of Albert T. Patrick, accused of the murder of William M. Rice, waa resumed today Charles F. Jones, who was Rice's personal attendant and clerk, continued his testi mony. , He identified copies of telegrams hs sent to Texas announcing Rlca'a death. Under Questioning by the prosecuting at torney the witness related ths alleged In cldenta of the preparation by Patrick of aa slgnmeats of Rica's property to Patrick, aa these events had been stated previously by the witness. Jones said Rice never signed theaaalgnments; 1 that when Patrick took the papera from Rice's apartments they were unsigned, but when the witness next saw them they bore the name of W. it. Rice. Rice, Jenes said, had aeea Patrick for the first time la the spring of lftOO, and again In the aummer of the earns year, hut there waa no conversation between ths two men on slther occasion. The night before Rica died the witness gavs him two powders that had been put up by a druggist In Houston, ' Tex. j the witness did not know of what they were composed. Rlcs wss very uneasy that night, and to keep him in bed and covered the witness bad to open ths windows. - Early In ths week before Rice's death, witness said, there wss received a drsft from Henry Oliver of Houston for $25,000 toward repairing the damage caused by ths burning of ' ths Merchants' and Planters' Oil company's plant.

Five Rl Buildings and Employ A boat Two Hnndred People at the Beginning. The tannery, glove factory and wool pulling establishment of William Topp, now situated at Johnstown, N. Y., and em ploying 176 hands, will be moved to Omaha within the present year, provided a fund of $16,000 for the purchase of a site can bs raised by subscription. Mr. Topp, who has been In the city for some days, has signified his readiness to make the move It a tree site is furnished for hla factory In Omaha, and a committee of the Commercial club has taken up the task of raising tbe neces sary money. For some time Mr. Topp has realised that the successful continuation of his business could be best assured by a removal to the west, the territory from which he has for years drawn the raw material used in the products of his factory. It haa been his custom to make frequent trips to western cities for the purpose of purchasing raw material, and on a recent visit to St. Joseph he Intimated to business, men of that city his contemplation of the west as a suitable place for his manufacturing plant. The f '.. Joseph men seised the opportunity at onc and offered Mr. Topp a free alte and a cash bonus If he would locate In their city. The manufacturer also received a liberal propo sition for the location of bis plant at To pe a, Kan. Cornea to Omafcau Whtle considering the St. Joseph and To- peka propositions, Mr. Topp came to Omaha for the purpose of buying pelts from the packers, and to aome of them he suggested his probable removal to aome western city. Tbe matter was Immediately brought to the attention of the Commercial club and a committee of that organization lost no time In taking Mr. Topp Into its confidence. The advantages of Omaha as a place for the manufacture of leather goods were quickly and distinctly pointed out to the easterner. It was shown that Omaha was not only a primary market for hides and pelts, but that more Jobbers in leather goods could bo reached from thla point within a day'a ride than from any other city. Being convinced that Omaha waa the heat plaoe In the west for the location of his faotory, Mr. Topp told the local committee that he would not ask a cash bonus aa a consideration for hla removal to thla point, but, In view of the offers that had been made to htm by St. Joseph and Topeka, he thought thla city ought to furnish a site free of cost to him. In thla the Omaha men agreed with him-and at a meeting of the Commercial club executive committee on Thursday it was decided to undertake the task of raising by subscription a fund auffl clent to purchsse a suitable site for the buildings proposed to be erected by Mr, Topp, Selects Snitable Site. After looking about tbe city, Mr. Topp has selected a tract of two acres just south of the Meti brewery as a suitable location. Thla property belongs to P. E. Her and his price for it la understood to be $16,000. Mr. Her has already subscribed $1,000 for the purchase of the site for the new factory and the subscription holds good even if Mr. Topp should finally decide not to take the Her land. Mr. Topp says that aa aoon aa the alta la furnished he will begin work upon tbe buildings and will first open the tannery, removing the wool-pulling business later and finally starting the manufacture of gloves, as he does not desire to abandon the Johnstown plant until the Omaha plant ia completely equipped for work. In addition to making giovea he will prepare hldea for the manufacture of fur garments and this branch of the trade will be developed as rapidly aa possible. The experienced tan,' nera and glove makers now ia the employ of the house In New Tork will be brought to Omaha, but employment will be given to about 160 men and women of the city aa soon as the business is well under way.
