Historical Sketch of Old Fort Calhoun
(Paper by Katherine Pettlngill. road tie
fore the Omaha society of Paughters of j
tli American Revolution.)
Kort Calhoun now In a small villagn
of about T1 Inhabitants, sixteen miles
north of Omaha.
The fort was established In 111!) or 1820.
In 119 General Henry Atkinson moved
from leaoto to Calhoun, or as It was prob
ably called then, Camp Atkinson. Many
historians nay that It was Kort Atkin
son, but from what I can learn from old
settlers and their iistories. the place
now Kort Calhoun was never called Kort
Atkinson.
The government reservation consisted of
a tract of land fifteen miles sruar. Later
3J0 acres of that amount was set off for a
town site. The old fort grounds, (hat i
the quarters, storehouses, etc, can be
traced even today, East of the town are
the remains of the old cellars and Just
below tho bluff may be found the place of
the brick kiln. Jte.low the bludf also there
used to be a ship landing The course of
the Missouri river now. however. Is Home
two or three miles east. West "of the vil
lage Is the alte of t lie dairies; there, too.
Is the old spring that for years was the
source of water supply for the' early set
tlers of Calhoun. a well as the soldiers
of the fort. This spring was well walled
up with stone and gave forth as char
and, sparkling water as can he found any
where. The people used to drive vhelr
oxen and cattle there for water, then haul
It away In bands for their home use.
North and northwest of the village are
the old cemeteries. The bones of both In
dians and while men have been toon I
there, and just within the last fc-
pieces of stone. bearing dates jr.i
parts of name!-, have been fount.
Around where the buildings stood ".m.
year are found soldier bullous anil coins
Probably about ni gold, silver an. I copper
coins have been found, and thousand ot
button. My hrdhcr ha made several
sets of cuff tuitions front them and I have
a shirtwaist set that he made of buttons
from Aitlllery N'os. 1, 2 and 3
The question lias arisen several'' times.
'"Why would there be so many buttons
lost?" This has been partially answered
In two ways. One. that In 1S27. when the
fort was abandoned, the buildings were
burned to keep them from the Indians
thus destroying any supply of clothing
that might have been on hand at that
time. Then the other and perhaps more
satisfactory reason. Is that In the seven
or eight year that troops "were stationed
at the fort, hundreds of men were at work
all the time, making brick, building quar
ters, farming and the like, so It would re
quire a great deal of clothing, which
after It was worn out was thrown away.
There probably was very little actual
fighting carried on. perhaps only 'a few
skirmishes with the Indians.
in 1S."i5 trie town of Kort Calhoun was
surveyed and laid out by Colonel jovn
Miller of Omaha, who was assisted by
K. II. ClHrk. (loss and others. Three hun
dred and twenty acres were laid out Into
blocks and bus,- but after a short time a
large purl ion of I lie eastern part w as
thrown over and the lots sold at auction
to the highest bidder. Then inure land
was added to the north and called Clark's
addition, because of the owner's name.
Klain Clark. In order that the owners
might have their new land In one piece,
they traded hack and forth until one
man's possession were all In one place.
Klain Clark and Dr. Andrew were the
first owners of the laud directly east of
town the old parade grounds. This they
sold to Newton Clark, my grandfather.
As late as 1KT4 or l7."i. the stump of the
I old fort flagstaff could be seen there. At
I that I line It was dug up, during the ab-
sence of the owner of the farm. It prob
ably was taken by some historical society

, They've had all thoy want of "Piano Puzzle
ContoHts" in Milwaukee! The Milwaukee Retail
Dealers' Association has determined that a "Puzzle
Contest'' is u "Fake," and with H view of wiping
out this abuse, this Assocliiiion has presented an
"Anti-Guessinir Contest ' bill to the Wisconsin State
Legislature VVhtn the bill passes (and it must
pass), there will be no more "fake" Piano Certifi
cates, Checks, Drafts or Hold Bonds, in Wisconsin.
They've had all they want of "Piano Piu.le
Contests" in Minneapolis and Indianapolis, too; in
those cities no newspaper will aeiepta "Piano
Puzzle" or Guessing Contest" advertisement of any
kind.
And this puts me in mind of a peculiar law
suit now on in a certain city In New York state.
In that city a certain firm conducted a "fake"
Piano Puzzle Contest, and through It landed thou
sands of Its rare (?) $75 Piano Certificates or
Chocks. One winner (?) was thus lead to buy a
piano at an APPARENT J75 discount, but backed
out after he saw that all of his N'KKJHUOHS were
securing the SAME prizes and certificates, etc. lu
fact he saw where a number of certificates had been
secured by people who hadn't even sent In a "solu
tion" to a puzzle.
He saw where a letter apparently written to
him individually was really a duplicate of one bent
to THOUSANDS of others. In fact he saw through
the whole texture of the plan and decided that the
discount offered to him waa a "fake" discount and
therefore he concluded to buy a piano elsewhere.
The "Puzzle Contest" Piano house Is now suing
hftn In an effort to compel him to keep and pay
for the Instrument, BIT THEY WILL NEVER
' WIN OUT IN THE COURTS. 1 don't think they
will. Do YOU?
I have In my possession an advertisement
stating that a certain piano hou- would accept
one of its "Puzzle Contest" Drafts or Checks
as a $360 cash payment on a $690 player piano.
THIXK OF IT! $360 SAVED, simply because little
Mamie or Rose has added together a few lines of
numljers or found a few heads In a little puzzle
picture. Really, it would seem as though one would
not have to have much money to embark in the
piano business these days; all one would have to
do would be to solve a few dozen puzzles and own
$(!0 instruments at $:n0; for a REAL $690 player
piano could NOT be BUILT for anywhere NEAR
$;;;;o.
If these "Piano Puzzle Certificates." Checks,
Drafts, Cold Donds. Etc., are so VALUABLE, why
are so many people willing to depart from them for
75c. $1.0(. $2. I'll, elc. (lAiok In the For Sale Want
Columns of any newspaper Immediately after some
Puzzle Conies; lu.s been decided.)
Doesn't THIS slifiiify that the winners ( ? ) havo
found the "Checks," etc., to be "fake" and that
they are willing to purl with them for a few cents?
And did you EVER hear of anyone foolish enough
to BUY one of these t'herks? I never have!
Some of I lie laig.tr "Puzzle Contest Piano
Houses" never eten LOOK at the "solutions" to
their advertised puzile, as this extract from a
recent article iu THE MUSICAL COURIER' will
prove:
"We have seen bansful after bagsful of mall
dumped Into warerooru offices as the result of a
"Puzzle Contest." have seen rows of men and girls
opening the letters, filing the names, tossing tho
"solutions" into waste baskets without glauclng
at them; have seen the "Credit Chocks" or Cold
Bonds" put into addressed envelopes, shot throiiRh
ati automatic stamping and sealing machine, and
carried out in bags to lie mailed at the post office."
THAT, dear reader, Is your reward for break
ing your head over some "Piano Puzzle;" THAT
will put a damper on your palpitating heart the
morning you receive a letter stating: "We are
pleasf (1 to inform you that you have won one of the
largest prizes, etc." Tho same letter will Invariably
contain an elaborately engraved "Piano Certificate"
or Check purported to be worth from $25 to $ 1 F0,
and most likely a sentence something like this:
"We have another beautiful gift all ready for you
and will be pleased to present It to you when you
call at our salesrooms." If you DO call you will be
presented with a sheet of music worth all of lc,
or, a stickpin thnt looks suspiciously like some you
have seen at the ".'( and 10c store."
It may take desperate methods of that sort to
get people Interested In cheap mediocre, tin famed,
or "stencil" pianos, but It s QUALITY FAME
TRUE INTRINSIC WORTH that sells such pre
mier makes as the genuine old "Boston made,"
CHICKERING & SONS. 1VERS & POND. KURTZ
MANN. PACKARD, HENRY S. & O. LINDEMAN,
HUNTINGTON, or HARVARD, all of which are
for sale at THE BENNETT CO.'S establishment,

Therefore If you DO get a "Certificate"
laugh then tear it up.

T Y 1 tho following extract from a
I JL I leoture on "Kdward Mac
" I.,! DowUI" Is here printed. The
lecture was delivered In the
YouTi Women's Christian as
sociation auditorium recently:
December 18th of this year will be the
fiftieth anniversary of Edward Mac
Dowell's birth. He was born in) .Mew York.
Y hen he was 15 he went, with "his mother,
to Fails, and passing the examination en
tered the Conservatory, where he had for
a fellow-pupil Claude De Hussy, whose
non-conformist tendencies were then no
ticeable. After a couple of years there
he went to Stuttgart, but before leaving
I'arls had been quite undecided whether
or not he should devote himself to art in
stead of music, owing to the unusual talent
lie displayed In that direction. Stuttgart
not proving satisfactory, for various rea
sons, he went to Frankfort and entered
the Conservatory, having had In the mean
time during a stay at Wiesbaden the ad
vantage of study in composition with Louis
K.hlert.
Two years he remained in the Conserva
tory studying composition with Joachim
Ruff and piano with Carl Heymann. When
Hermann left the Conservatory he recom
mended Macliowell as his successor but
while the proposal was endorsed by Raff,
Macliowell 'was not appointed, due not
only to his youth, but Hlso because Hey
mann desired It. and Heymann was unpop
ular with some of the professors because.
as Macliowell said, 'he dared to play the
classics as If they had been written by
men with blood in their veins."
About this time Macliowell met Miss
Marian Nevlns, who later became .Mrs.
Macl'owcll. Next we find "the handsome
American," as he was called, at the Con
servatory at Darmstadt as beud piano
teacher. He still kept connection with
Frankfort. However, and soon forsook
L'hi instaill altogether.
At the suggestion of Raff, Macliowell
visited IJit at Welniari lie played for
1-iszt his first piano concerto, in manu
script, arranged for two pianos, ilie or
chestral part being played by L Albert.
IJsit praised not only the concerto, but
also his piano playing. Two piano aultes
were also piab-ed bv Usr.t as being "ad
mirable," and he accepted the dedlcatljn
of tie concerth.
.Mai 1 low ill had ulwaNS thought of him
self as a piano virtuoso in the m'.King,
and it was a surprise to hliti when his
compositions were taken seriously, and
especially when Raff said to htm: "Your
music will be played when mine Is for
gotten." Ii was aboi.t this time that Raff died
and Macliowell suffered his first great sor-
row. lie plunged Into composition and

of his best songs in German, including

prevented him from getting a Conservatory
position, this time at Wurshurg, and a trial
for an Kdlnburgh position also failed, this
largely because his youth, his nationality
and tho' fact that he was a protege "of
that dreadful man Lisxt" militated against
him. '
Returning to Germany from London
(whither they had gone for the purpose of
aecurlne Edinburgh appointment) the Mat
Dowella went to Wiesbaden and in 187 they
purchased a little cottage with half an
acre of ground In which the composer
enjoyed digging; here with another Ameri
can, Templeton Strong, many were the

about the making of music.
it was a time of, delight and serenity
and the entire energy of the man Is given
to composition. And In addition his work
was being recognized by Americans and
Kuropeans. Mr. Van der Stucken, Madame
Carreno (who had taught hlin for a time
in his earlier days) and Mr. R. J. 1-ang
were early protagonists of the Macliowell
causa and the crltics.H. K. Krehhlel,
Henry T. Flnck and W. K. Apthorp, were
highly encouraging. In September. 1KW",
at the solicitations of American friends,

and came to Roslou, where they settled.
Successive appearances us pianist and
composer with the Kneisel tjuartet. Theo
dore Thomas and Orchestra New Yolk, and
Mr. tlcricke und the Huston Symphony or
chestra, led to appreciative and enthusi
astic delight at his work.
After eight years' activity in Hoston with
numerous concert engagements with the
great orchestras, as pianist-composer under
the conductorship of Nlkisch. Bernard
Listemann. Anton Si nil and Lniil l'aur
and with the most glowing tributes from
the greatest critics, MacDowell went to
Columbia I'nlvcrsity, New York, to or
ganize the new 1 emi tlnent of Music. The
many trials of that position, Ihe misrepre
sentations of his work there, the high and
lofty Ideals and tho one proper standard
of work which he tried to establish are
matters of history, ure also the ac
counts of his work given by the students
and by those who know his work best.
These you will find In Lawrence Oilman's
valuable book. "Kdward MaclHiwell," to
which I am most deeply Indebted and from

of our knowledge about Macliowell.
In January, l'xrl. after much deliberation
and anxious though Macliowell left ihe
work Columbia and received much un
ncccssaiy and unkind misunderstanding
which hurt him grievously.
1 luring thai period, hovxevcr, he wrote
some of his best works. His summers l.ad

The outgrowth of this was the Mac
Powell Memorial Association, which Mrs.
MacDowell has been lecturing for, and
whose alms. It is to be hoped, will be
presented to our Omaha musical people by
her through one of our musical organiza
tions before long.
"In the spring of Mil Mr. MacDowell be
gan to manifest alarming signs of nervous
exhaustion," says Mr. Oilman. Quoting
from his friend, Mr. Hamlin Garland, he
was "temperate in all things but work
in that he was hopelessly prodigal."
A disintegration of the brain tissue be
gan to show Its effect: slowly, gradually,
pathetically came the long rltardando, the
sinister pianissimo, the perdendosl and
morendo, until the mind became as a lit
tle child's: and in that condition he left
for ftps last time the fairy tales that had
pleased him and having fulfilled the re
quirement he entered the kingdom of light,
as a little child! And Inscribed high In
the rolls of lesser known heroes and
heroines you will find the name of that
most devoted, most noble, most heroic
woman, Mrs. Edward MacDowell.
His resting place Is "on an open hilltop,
commanding one of the spacious views that
he had loved" near Peterborough. And on
a bronze tablet are theBe lines of his own,
which he had devised as a motto for the
last music that he wrote. "From a Log
Cabin:"
"A house of dreams untold.
It looks out over the whispering tree-tops
And faces the setting sun."
