i R ORLEANS, NEB. The Principal Oity of Harlan County Visited by "‘Ranger” A Beautiful, Bustling Town And a Description of It. Many Improvements in Progroesses Tho Crops in Good Con- dition Correspor f The Bec Onueans, Neb., August 35,1881, On a platcan overlooking onc of the Jovelicst valleys in the world, Orleans, the principal city of Harlan county, was born on or about the year 1873, D. N. Smith is said to be the paternal progenitor and as this illustrious gen- tleman never denied the charge, we will presume the same is correct. The town of Mclrose, one mile far- ther west, was at the time of the birth of Orleans, a blushing damsel with two or three hundred inhabitants, and as she has gince ceme to live with Or- leans we will presume that she was wmother, or at least a near relative, to the infant town. Both of the parents are now dead, so this historian can say what he likes without fear of con- tradiction. Until one year ago this spring no railroad had ever entered this maiden town, all railway traffic_being via Kearney and the U. P, R. R., but now theé largest depot in the Repub- lican Valley is at Orleans. The pro- ducts of the country and the manu- facturcs of the east are thus handled with dispatch, IMPROVEMENTS AND PROGRESS, Last night Wi, Stadleman of the firm of Stadleman & Bodine, arrived in town, to commence at once the building of alarge grain elevator, with which to handle the surplus grain of this region. Pope & Sawyer have just received a thousand head of sheep to help re- duce the vast quantity of buffulo and bunch grasses that annually go to waste on these boundless plains. Mr. John R. Kennedy is packing his box of blacking to go east for a thousand of these kinky haired grass gatherers, Manning & GibbsZhavethe contract for rebuilding the Republican river bridges, and long before the millen- ium arrives these connccting links will no doubt be completed. The next centennial will probably find them well under way. NEWS, This is the scarcest thing in the market, Judge Kent, who meets every one in this and the fine coun- ties surrounding, assured us that he hadn't seen anything of the kind for a month, and Banker Burton said the latest'item in that line was the ap- ointment of Tom. Harlan as_super- intendent of fences in the Yellow- stone park, and that took place last spring. CROPS, T have told you about the crops farther up the valley, but Orleans is sixty miles cast of Indianola so there is some slight difference, nothing marked however, They will average here fully fifty per cent, better than in castern Nebraska, and yet they are hardly as good as at Indianola. The same solid front of five to six feet of dark green makes the breast work of the cornfield, the same thick ranks of shocks markthejwheat fields, excepting where the header has skimmed the field or the stacker has built monu- ments of industry from the golden sheaves, . From Orleans we took our custom- ary range among the surrounding farms and found several fine orchards, infants, but healthy, and promising to soon give ample return for the care they are now receiving, L. Cramer lndy J. W. Carrothers are particularly conspicuous in their devotion to horticulture, Some small fruit are now bearing. Grapes are doing nico- ly, of which Mr, Cramer has 1000 vines; some of them have grown ten fect this scason. Some apple trees have got up in the world four fect since spring. ;¢ J. ‘8 ngpe“mull, of the Atlantic Ia., nursery, is here and is enthusiastic on | the subject. We would advise any one who is looking westward with a view to producing fruit where it will have the greatest value when grown, to correspond with him, GAME AND FIsSH, Buffalo, deer, antelope and Tndians no longer furnish marks for the hun- ter, but I counted seventeen wild turkies on and around o hay stack, but I was on the cars and the conduc- tor wouldn't stop, besides I only had my revolver and the brakeman said something about Kearncy and jack rabbits which made me feel bilious and Ididn't want to hunt, I have ordered a Krup gun that carries a ball weighing two tons and if any sanguin- ary wretch again intimates that in the city of Kearney some six years ago 1 tired seventeen times at an invalid xabbit without hitting him, I'll not be responsible for the size of the hole that will perforate his liver. The same weapon will also be useful when partica make casual refercuce to sweronautios at Omaha, for 1 want it distinetly understood that T never saw @ balloon, wasn't there when it was seen, and the whole story about there having heen such a thing as a balloon hlnnpa: an effort of The Herald to e obtain the city printing, But to return to the game question, There 18 no lack of irie chickens, quails and jack rabbits; the last lhmn:dd. bird ‘i_nmuksn lon the fly with ounds on stilts, at least their I look that way.

BUSINESS, _ Btores and urround the pub- lic square of O, street leading to the depot. Live men, full of ideas and enterprise, give vigor to the trade of this town, and there are less sl eyed grumblers here than are generally to be found in this, the cowntry where grumblers | | have their pacadise. (REAT MEN Some of the Orleans family have donc deeds of valor] that cover their names with imperishable fame and others are on the very threshold of | greatness, among® the Iatter is my | frier br L.

But aside from these men that arc going to be great, there arc ns I said bofore those who have already achiev- J . Roberts, ex attorney general, the great raiser of thoroughbred stock, (perhaps it was chickens, but 1t don't_matter). And then there is Tom Harlan the father of the county, from whose ample loing this great land sprang full grown cactuses and all Col. J. H. Painter, late acting ns- sistant commissary for that eminent district and judge (of good liguor), Pat. Hawes, was the first postmaster in Harlan county, and he kept office in a sod dug out—now he is—well 1 don’t know what, but suppose his past carcer is untarnished, Not belonging with those who have achieved fame, norfexactly with those about to become famous is our own Piper who calls this aity home. There is only one thing to prevent our late special traveling correspondent from ascending to the clouds of fame, and that is his name. Had Washington, Jeffcrson, Jackson or even your humble servant been loaded with such a musical patronomic suggestive of midnight carousals, how could we have climed the dizzy heights. One of the most famous of the Orleanists is Judge Gaslin, once a homesteader, but as this is now a part of the district of which he is judge we must be careful with our remarks, and yet we must tell it for Judge Gaslin, the blonde beauty, the pride of the bench has fainted in the arms of a Kearney damsel, and the blush- ing groom will be given away by his father as soon as the apple picking is over. The Judge having however, been a terror to evil-doers, and a pro- tection to all law-abiding citizens for lo, these many years, we can now grant him this indulgence, but be temperate Judge, be temperate, For business review see sixth page of daily. RANGER. A TALK WITH LEO HART- MANN. His Plans for iWork in America. New York Tribune. Leo Hartman, vhe Nihilist who ar- rived in this country Wednesday last, raally looks something like the fypical conspigator or revolutionist, He is a short Titfle man with a small head and small hands, His hair, which is of light color, is cut closely and stands out in all directions from his head. He wears a full beard which is of the samo tint. His oyes are particularly keen and bright and are continually dancing from one object to another Being of a nervous temperment he is all the time changing his position, and when engaged in conversation he smokes one cigarette after another rapidly, rolling them with his fingers. One can see by his dress that an at- tempt is mado to appear as little like a foreigner as possible, Yesterday, when talking to a Tribune reporter, he wore a black alpaca coat, a low cut white waistcoat and mixed gray trow- sers, When asked if he was willing to dis- close his mission to this country he replied that he was only too glad to have an opportunity of telling the story of the wrongs of the Russian people, “You usk what brings me to this " Martmann continued., Tt to gain the sympathy of the American people, for those who re struggling for liberty in Russia.
