Omaha and Omaha people In 1578 aa they
truck the stranger at that time, are the
theme of a moat Interesting chapter In a
book of reminiscences and travel Just pub
llahed by Mr a Carrie Adell Btrahorn, en
titled "Fifteen Thousand Mllea by Btae."
Mn. Btrahorn lived In Omaha for the
greater part of a year, having come here
with her husband ahortly after their mar
riage, and la evidently now a widow, living
In Spokane. In the preface ehe explains
that the circumstances leading to the ex
perience she describe "date back to the
year 1877, when my husband, Robert E.
Btrahorn, wrote and published a book on
the resources, cllmatlo conditions and
scenic attractions of what waa then Wyo
ming territory." The book, it la related,
fell Into the hands of Jay Gould, who waa
then the wizard of the railroad world and
the live wire of the Union Pacific com
pany, with Ita rails running from Omaha
to Ogden and Salt Lake City. The fancy
aelxed Mr. Oould to have Mr. Btrahorn
create a literary bureau and advertising
department for the Union Pacific Hallway
company, and to write a similar book on
all westvn atatea and territories. It waa
a new departure for a railroad company,
but aa the scheme waa discussed Its scope
broadened until it seemed to be without
limit. The company wanted to know the
possibilities for extensions, the tonnage
that might accrue, the tillable acres, the
acenlo attractions, and all the alluring ln
duoemente that could be offered to pros
pective homeseekers.
"Tha offer." the author explains, "came
within a week after our marriage. To ac
cept It meant the abandonment of plans
already' well matured, and the alternative
of leaving me alone among strangers In
tha far west, or subjecting me to a life of
hardship In frontier travel that waa looked
upon aa well nigh unendurable, either one
of which aeemed equally Impossible for him
to force upon. me.
"Omaha la the Seveatlea."
The account of the atay in Omaha and
observations made here, received from let
ters, notes and memory. Is as follows:
For tha winter of 'T we settled down to
a quiet orderly life In Omaha. We chose
the top of Farnam street hill for a location,
and when the foundation of a house on
tha corner of Elgnteenth street waa being
laid we set a snare to secure the house
aa soon aa it was finished.
The spot waa then far from the busy
strife of the commercial center of the town,
and tha velws from Ita unimpeded heights
were a charm not easy to find about an
otherwise level country. No one dreamed
of such an Invasion of commerce that a
magnificent court house would some day
grace one of those corners and great busi
ness blocks would crowd out tha moat
desirable home center of the city. No one
thought Tha Omaha Bee would awarm from
Ita little old home to a ten-story hive on
tha hilltop at Eighteenth street, but Father
Time la a wonderful worker In an ambl
tloua city and transformations are wrought
Ivhico no one can foretell. Those pretty
little home that once rraced the proud
eminence) now exists only as "a composite
picture" In tha mind'a eye In rnld-alr forty
feet above the preaent street. Tha dear old
hill melted away under the pick and shovel
to Its preaent level and Omaha waa de
prived of the moat beautiful residence
quarter of the city.
Oar Old-Time Hotels.
The Grand Central hotel waa destroyed
by firs and for many months the old Met
ropolitan hotel, kept by Ira Wilson on
lower Douglas street, and tha little With
nell hotel, managed by tha Kitchen
brothers, were the only hotela worth men
tioning. The Metropolitan waa an old
ramble ahack from which w were glad to
emerge Into our first home, and we went
about the settlement with all the ardor of
love a first nest.
Paul had such a big chest of notea to
work up Into readable form that It ap
peared a lifetime task, and Mr. Kimball,
general manager of the Union Pacific, was
in need of his information almost every
hour at Union Pacific headquarters. I waa
eager to be anchored in a home, and the
combination worked well toward a season
of homo Ufa for us.
Omaha was not attractive for climatic
reasons. If It waa for others. The terrific
sandstorms were a terror to housewives,
its bottomless streets were a menace to
commerce In the wet aeason, and in the
sultry season the thunder storms were of
such violence that the lightning was like
fiery-headed demons coming out of earth
and sky, flashing into every window, while
pounding on every door and root the thun
der chased In a maddening din from which
there waa no escape.
Tn Missouri river valley Is ever noted
for Ita wild atorma which follow tha stream
and play such havoc along Its lands. They
even drove the river from ita bed and
not Infrequently turned It out of tha state.
At one time during the winter the wind
blew so bard for forty-eight hours that a
special policeman patroled every block In
town to watch for fires, and women were
nut allowed on the streets at all.
Freqaeaey of Bad Bloraaa.
In looking over letters sent to friends
. tn those day a, or during our visits to
Omaha, there Is scarcely one of them that
Aoea not give record of some awful storm.
At one time na lexs than 6u0 feet of track
was not only washed out out In Council
Bluffs, and ties and rails carried into
neighboring fields, bui the roadbed was
under four and five feet of water. The'
bridge acrosa an arm of the river at Coun
cil Bluffs waa carried out and we walked
on the top of freight cars to a temporary
ferryboat to cross to Omaha. It waa not
unusual for water to be several feet deep
In some of the streets near the river.
The Missouri river made history in Ne
braska faster than any other factor. Since
the settlement of the state It has lost more
towns In Its adjustment to tha river and to
civilisation than any other state In the
union. Some of the towns ere wiped out
by tha river auddenly changing ita bed or
by gradually pilfering the land until the
town bad to be abandoned.
When the Union Pacific railroad was
built tha town of Decatur waa selected as
headquarters for the company and the lo
cation for the Missouri bridge but before
tha work waa under way so many town
lots had been swallowed by the river that
tha company changed Ita location to Flor
ence and then to Omaha. Most of Decatur
la now in the rtvei bed.
For a time Florence had more population
than Omaha, of which it waa a formidable
rival, it waa on the Uormoa route to
Utah and waa th westers point of tha
heaviest Immigration. It was tha Union
Pacific's change to Omaha that depleted
the population from 5,000 to a deserted vil
lage. Many towns were wiped out because
of change of county seats., and many more
were abandoned because railroads decided
to take other routes than the old stage
trail.
rbrukl'i Lost Towaa.
Tha first territorial legislature met
In l&S at Archer, the county Beat of
Richardson county. The earliest settlers
there were mosUy Intermarried with
squaws who raised large families. Later,
when the government put Into effect the
reservation method of caring for the In
dians, it set aside a domain In Richardson
county and Archer waa left on a reserva
tion. Ita army post was abandoned, tha
atate buildings left unoccupied, railroads
passed it by, and soon Ita white population
moved to other localities.
A large number of the lost towns of
Nebraska wer located along the great
overland routes. The old Mormon trail fol
lowed the Platte river's windings. There
was the California trail, the line biased
by tha miners who took part tn the Pike's
Peak gold rush, and the tralla followed by
the freighters and pony express riders. All
of these converging at Fort Kearny, mid
way across tha atate; beyond that waa the
the man whom aha had betrayed and waa
sending to Llbby prison. From that moment
she began doing penance and aha did not
desist In her efforts to undo her work until
she had made him free again. They were
married at the close of the war and lived
happy ever after, but she never enjoyed
having this affair referred to.
Xewspasvere and Newspaper Men.
Omaha was not without Its quota of
newspapers, but the leaders were the
Omaha Republican and The Omaha Bee,
the latter with the aggressive and progres
sive Rose water as Its owner and business
manager. Tha Republican was managed
by C. E. Tost, who was not only a capable
and efficient man, and la now the general
manager of tha Nebraska Telephone com
pany, but at that time Mr. and Mr. Yost
were the handsomest couple in Omaha.
Their beauty waa not confined to their
forms and facea. but their general lives
were In keeping and they were loved and
admired for their personal qualifications.
The Republican was sold a few years later
to S. P. Rounds, the public printer, of
Washington, D. C
The Union Pacific headquarters was on
the corner of Farnam and Ninth streets;
they employed fewer men for all depart
ments of the work than they now have
In the auditing department alone. Yet Mr.
1
hostile Indian country, and safety lay In C. S. Stebblns, who Is now assistant to
traveling In numbers. When the Union j the auditor, la about the only one left
Pacific railroad came through It killed there of the force whom we knew so well,
freighting on the plains, practically every In the year '73 Thomas L. Kimball was
one of the trail towns disappeared within made general passenger and ticket agent
a few months except Fort Kearny, and
even that had dropped the Fort and be
came Just plain Kearny, but it la a town
to be proud of, Just the same.
When Pard went to the Rocky Mountains
in 1870 he had to cross the Missouri at
Omaha on a ferryboat and Omaha was
Just getting fairly on the map, while Den
ver had only 4,900 people. Our beautiful
Spokane and Tacoma were not even
started, Seattle was only a lumber camp,
and Minneapolis yet to be built. Pretty
much everything was wilderness north and
south of the single line of railroad across
the continent where there are now eight
transcontinental roads, and the vast
growth and commercial Interests of eight
newly constituted states.
Condition of the Streets.
There was no street paving and the soil
around about Omaha is of that adobe na
ture that when wet will hold all that any
one can give It, whether it Is a foot, a
rubber or a wagon wheel. I was convinced
that there was greater affinity between
molecules of Omaha mud than any other
known substance. There were but few
crosswalks and a novice In navigation In
that river town could get Into trouble
In a hurry. One of my own experiences
was a ludicrous one. It had rained furl
ouBly for two or three hours, but the sun
followed, with a clear sky. I did not yet
know the mud was such a mortal enemy to
pedestrians, and I sailed happily out, quite
smartly dressed, and was halted at the
very first crossing. The first thing I
of the Kansas Pacific company, as it had
become a part of the Union Pacific sys
tem, and the advertising for the newly
acquired branch was added to Pard's de
partment. Mr. Kimball was soon there
after made general manager of the whole
system and he was sincerely loved by all
those who were under him, yet he was a
man demanding the duties of his employes
to be well and accurately done. Ue was
our good patron saint, who not only opened
up the opportunities for a life of greater
usefulness, but he smoothed many a rough
road by his kindly approbation of the
work being done.
Men In the Railroad Offices.
Pard had two able assistants In his office
work, in correspondence, compiling time
tables and doing local work, who have so
risen In th ellmeiight of affairs that they
must have well-nigh forgotten that long,
stormy winter were it not for the heart
ties that the association cemented. They
also became members of our home circle,
and left an Indelible Impression of their
worth. One, Mr. T. W. Blackburn, who
had long been In the newspaper field and
was ably fitted for an assistant in literary
work, has since then become one of the
legal lights of Omaha. The other was the
Hon. Charles S. Gleed of Kansas City, one
of the most widely known and highly suc
cessful men In the affairs of the state of
his adoption. His rattling cane waa ever a
welcome sound, for It betokened the com
ing of a ray of sunlight and cheery com
panionship wherever he entered. Hla life

the spot as if I bad grown there. I wig
gled and wriggled and twisted until one
foot was loose, only to find tha other one
In tha mud twice aa deep. I pulled my feet
from my .rubbers and hoped to get back
onto firm ground, but alas! I waa hopelessly
stranded until kind Providence aent a

with my every effort to escape until it
was cut off. I went home tired out, warm
and ruffled, but I had learned my -lesson.
V perhaps, ought to have known better,
for I had often watched from our windows
at the Grand Central hotel the struggles of
horses and vehicles to- get through the
principal streets, where they were fre
quently held for hours In the adobe clutch.
There were no water works In the town
except a few private tanks where water

old Stradivarius, and weird and plaintive
melodies would float through the house for
hours while he acarcely knew what " he
waa doing. Down on the broad of hla
back, with tha room aa dark as midnight,
he drew the bow across the strings in mel
ancholy pleadings until his mind found
peace again, then with a lively reel or a
gay patrol to tell of hla return to mental
equilibrium he would appear all smiles
and joyousness, as if he had never a care
In the world. Early in life he had learned
to hide hia own unrest in his work for the
happiness of others, and he had learned the
lesson to a degree that few people achieve.

by every young man of the day who thinks
his own lot is a hard- one. for In Its pages

Crows Make the, Air Black.
The crowa were so thick In Omaha that
the ground would often be black with
them and their Incessant caw-caw waa a
torture to the nerves. When a flock of
them would light upon a roof their claws
would rattle like halftones and one often
wished them to emigrate to other lands,
and wondered what they found ao attract
ive in that locality. You could not atone
them, for there were no atones In or
around Omaha. In tact, Nebraska is won
derfully free from stones everywhere. A
country doctor Is never afraid ot striking a
rock as he drives to his patient In the
black hours of the night, but there are
times when he may drop into a mudhole
from which he may not swim out.
One of the gayest times Omaha ever
had waa when ex-President Grant waa
there in '73. There waa a big parade, with
many bands, and a reception in the old
customs house, where everybody held him
by the hand for one brief second. After
our turn we got off In a corner with Gen
eral Crook and some of his lieutenants to
watch the crowd.
Only a few weeks before we had come
from Cheyenne on the same train with
An Excursion to Colorado.
The restlessness of the spring took force
ful possession of our household. Pard was
pining for hla beloved Colorado and to
flee from the desk work, which was un
dermining his health. Mr. Blackburn had
been ao imbued with the connubial bliss
In our family that he wanted to follow the
example and take unto himself a wife.
Mr." Gleed and Pard had been laid up
with mumps for several weeks and 1
myself was anxious to get Pard out into
the hills.- Mr. Gleed, therefore took charge
of the Kansas City office, and thua took
hia first step In becoming a director and
the foremost legal light of the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe railway. Mr. Blackburn
bought our household effects and took pos
session of our home with his June day
bride, and Pard was allowed to transfer
the literary department work to Denver.
Thus the three tlllicums separated, each to
build for h.mself as no man knew. Each
one flapped his wings and piuintd himself
for new and more arduous work, yet with
wider fields for conqut-Bt.
It was a Joy, indeed, to flee from the
hotbed of the smothering Missouri valley
to tha cool, sweet air of Denver, and as
soon aa Pard a office was established in
the new atone Union Pacific depot building
there wa departed for the mountaina and
began the most strenuous year of our
travels.
