9 BLOOMFIELD BREVITIES. The Leading City of Franklin COounty Shows Signs of Improvement, A Remarkable Growth Since the Town Was Start- od in 1874. The Crops Not in Very Good Con- | dition - Another Railroad Probable Correspondence of The Bee. Broosisaroy, Neb., Aug. 6.—The city of Bloomington now has the U. 8. land office, the court house of Franklin county, and best and most important, its tributary country has good crops. The town was started in 1874, In 1878 the county seat was secured. The railroad came the next year. J. D. Calhoun, now on The State Journal, brought in the first newspa- per press and he also built the first mill in the whole Republican Valley region. He fought the grasshoppers for three years and then left Bloom- ington for the luxuries and refinement of life at the capital. The first fair in the valley was held at Bloomington in the year 1874, Ex- Gov. Furnas was the orator. The first celebration of the 4th of July that the Republican Valley had was given at Bloomington in Pugsley's grove on Big Cottonwood Creek in the year 1871, Speaking of Pugsley’s grove reminds e of the fact that one of the best known men 1n the state of Nebraska, and one whom every one of Omaha's old'settlers will remember in connec- tion with good fare at the Florence hotel, is one of the men who fought thoe battle for Bloomington, I refer to Mr. J. F. Pugsley, now landlord of the Franklin house at Riverton. Franklin county for thise years took the first premium for farm and ?.rden products at the Nebraska state fair and the soil is just as good now as The state encampment of Good ;l‘es&u’phr- was held at Bloomington in This record shows nothing very striking, but crimes and convulsions do .-mot add. honor te any community, though without them history may seem tame, but the heroism nfy those who, through long years of toil and privation battled with frontier hard- ships, insect posts and drowthy sea- sons to found homes where the geog- raphers had written desert across the face of the country, was such that the mural crown should be theirs, and now that the unoccupied quarter sections are very scarce and sod huts equally so, with waving corn fields everywhere and fifteen bushels to the ncre gleancd from the wheat fields they can foel a prido and a satisfaction in the results, such as are only felt by the most suc- cesaful consequences. CROPS, There aredark shades in all pictures and there arc one or two in this. The first spot where I have heard com- plaint on the crop question was at this town, and certain it is that many fields of wheat and corn in this immediate vicinity were severely injured by the terrible heat of that long-to-be-re- membered Wodnesday, Aug, 2d, but on the high divides no injury what- ever resulted therefrom, and there the crop is above the average. Rain 18 badly needed now, and without a gzod shower soon serious damage will done to tho rapidly maturing corn, IMPROVEMENTS, Away in Kansas there is a branch of the Central BranchR. R, that starts north and stops short at Burr Oak. Certain railroad officials, with a view to feeling the Bloomington pulse,huve been corresponding with leading men of the town and now there are great hopes of securing this rojected road, for it is the design uf its owners to ush through to a connection with the . P. at Plum creek, However, 1 have found that projected railronds are first cousing to the flea Paddy owned. When you put your fingeron them they say ‘‘good eve,” and off they go to another town, A first class flouring mill has just boen completed on tfie Big Cotton- wood creck near town. A fall of fifty-five feet gives great power to the at this point, There is here one of the largest and best elevators on the line of the road, A big business will be done by it this scason, Building stone is quarried only three miles from Bloomington, It ilynwcd out being soft and easily worked, but it hardens with exposure, It belongs to the magnesia family of limestone. The Bloomington bank building is of this material and is both substantial and ornamental, THE LAND OFFICE is doing a very fair business consider- mg‘:hl fact that July is not the month when land office business is booming, The following exhibit kindly lurui-fi- ed by Mr, Bwitzer tells the whole story: U, B.

Wheeler, | directors of the state fair, and O, W, | Munsell, the superintendent of the fine art department, made a visit to the grounds and buildings last week, |and have concluded to make some changes in the fine art hall. The | large doors will be taken off and hung on the outside for more safety, and also transom lights will be put in over the doors, Several windows for light and ventilation will also be placed in | the building. The scientific depart- ment, which was so badly crowded last yoar, will be enlarged. Many othe improvements will be made for the comfort of vis tors as well as exhibitors. There will be an especial effort to make the picturejgallery attractive, so that the people will see the finest dis- play of paintings ever exhibited in l)n-n Moines. The premium list of both amateurs as well as professionals is enlarged, so all have a chance, The boys’ and girls’ department will have a long premium list also, and it is expected they will have a nice dis- play of their work, and fill the de- partment. The ladies will have more room to display their work than last year. The officers of the society say the prospects are better for a large fair than last year, and hope that the people of Des Moines will help make it boom in this as well as other things in our city. one of the NOTES FROM SALT LAKE.

Candidates for county treasurer begin to bow they meet, and enquire particularly after your health and that of your family. Those present before the people (quietly as it were), are Messrs. Hardenberg and camp. and shake hands with those whose names are at McClay on the republican side of the house, and Messrs, Cayney and Brock- staff, Dsmocratic candidates, and it is whispered amongst the knowing ones that R. B. Graham will be an inde- pendant candidate. We may expect to see the mercury in the thermome- ter go up to 120 in the shade soon at Lincoln, notwithstanding Vennor's predictions to the contrary, as soon as the friends of the several candidates begin to got in their work, for there is every appearance that hot times will be in order. The surveyors on the Lincoln & Fremont mmf are atitin good earnest. Eleven took a conveyance Saturday morning at the cornor of 110th and P, streets, and started out for the coun- try, where stakes are bemng driven, and surveying being pushed forward rapidly. The Harmonic singing society have a very fine hall on Tenth, between O. and P. streets, which they have re- cently dedicated. It 1s elegantly furnished, the side walls are nearly covered with pictures and decorations, and altogether is the finest society room in the city. Our German friends mortality in Salt Lake city during the month of July was 70, or more than double the average of the last ten years, The cause of this high death rate baffles our physicians, but it must be local, as Ogden is exeeedingly Lealth. . Amongst those lately de- coased are Obed Taylor, Eaq., the leading architect of this city, and Mr. William O. Staines. The latter gen- tleman, sometimes styled Bishop Staines, is well known to the business and railrond men of Omaka, having been for many years the New York agent of the Mormon church in emi- gration mattors, and it is estimated that, fifty thousand passengers have passed through his hands whilst act- ing in this capacity. He wasa gen- tleman of great conversational powers, pleasant address, business tact and undoubted integrity; and has been almost as highly esteemed by the non- Mormon element in Utah as by his cos religionists. He will be accorded a R:bliu funeral at the new assembly 11, the most commodious and beau- tifully finished house of worship in Salt Lake, To-daythecorner stone of the Acade- my of Music and Temperance Reform Club building was laid under the direction of the Masonio fraternity with elaborate ceremon: This is only one of the numerous public buildings now in course of erection in this city. Amongthe most prominent are the Mormon temple, the universi- ty of Desoret, the St. Mary's hospi- tal (Roman Catholic), and various blecks of business buildings, especial- ly those on Main street the propert: of Hon, W, H. Hooper and Gen, H’.’ 8. Eldridgs Sir Samael Baker and his lady, the well known African explorers, are now in this city on their way to the Powder River country. The number of tourists passing through hore has been very large this season. Two comets are now plainly visible to the naked eye mn the northern heavens during the very oarly mor- ning, (say 2a. m.) We know not if Omaha 18 equally blessed. Some however have an inclination to attri- bute the present long continued stretch of opprossive weather to these unexpected heavenly visitors, The election last Monday was a most spiritless aflair, in almost every portion of the territory, Neither party made any effort, “As an ex- ample, only about one hundred votes were polled for the liberal ticket in the wholo of this, the most populous county in the state, Your Ogden correspondent a fow weeks ago, chronicled the visit of the old folks annual excursion to that burg, and the genorous hospitality that was extended to them by its cit- izens. Also a mark of the apprecia- tion felt by the pwfie of Salt Lake for the kindnesses, done to their aged friends on that occasion, The Tabernacle Choir, cansidered by some ghe best in America, will, on the 10th inst., proceed to Ogden and give an open air concert in the public suk. These mutual courtesies will o much to increase the cordial feeling of the two citios, between whom there is somo slight rivalry. As Salt Lake is the ecclesiastical capital, so Ogden desires to be considered the commer- cial centre of this region. The new developraents in railroad matters w ill, huwoysr, lend to strengthen Salt Lake's grasp of the business of the territory, The slectrio light, of which we have been deprived ~for several weeks, through leakage of the boilers, again illuminated the city on Monday even- ing and burned steadily. On the evemng of the lst inst., telegraphic orders were received at Camp Douglas to dispatch four com- guu.o. of troops to the Uncompahgre ndian agency in Colorado. These will be engaged iu assisting in the re- moval of the Utes, and will not re- turn here. It is understood the Sixth Infantry will axchmge posts with the Fourteenth, when the ~White River and other Utes are removed to the | neighborhood of the Uintah reserva- tian.

A large amount of new hay 'was of- fered for sale on our streets on Satur- day and sold readily for 3 per load. {Vnn]eu Nobes has returned to Lin- coln after his second unsuccessful search aftor the escaped convict Poole. Tt is a little discouraging, to say the least, when we consider that the warden is expected to liquidate all expenses from his own pocket. But friend Nobes never says die, and if the man Poole is in the land of the living and an inkling to his wherea- bouts can be obtained, no money or time will be spared until he is again an inmate of the penitentiary.

Building still continues with uns- bated zeal. Ground is . being broken for the second wing to the new capi- tal building and work will be com- menced on the foundation walls early this week. We hope there will be no drawbacks similar to those encoun- tered on the first wing to retard the early completion of the second. lflnupl.my Brothers' new building is gradually assuming shape and the iron front of the first story is all in, 1t will occupy two full lots fronting on Ninth street and run back to the al- loy on 0. street. It is to be three stories high, with two stores below,of- fice in second story and a large store room will comprise the entire third story, which will be used for storing carriages, wagon waterial, &e. &e. When finished it will be an ernament to that part of the city. Burr's blsck, corner 9th and P street is rapidly approaching comple- tion and will be another fine building to be added to the catalogue of those already finished. The Journal building is not finished et and it is & monument illustrating the tact that there is no end to the amount of time whizh can be consumed by contractors in erecting abuilding of ordinary size. We de not know as we ought to complain if The Journal proprietors do not, and 80 will rest quietly for another year, and by that time, we trust, it will be finished, or nearly so, Little's block, Twelfth and stroets, will (although onlytwo stori high) be an addition to that vicinity. It contains seven stores on the first floor, and the second story is divided into s large hall and office, Mr. Little, out of the kindness of his heart, has given the free use of the hall to the Y, M. C. A, of this city, The foundation walls of the Odd Fellows building are nearly completed. This will be a fine structure, The corner stone is to be laid the first of next month. We understand that the Knights of Pythias (who will occupy the hall with the Odd Fellows) have been invited to participate in the ceremonies upon that occasion. The building is on the corner of B, and lEle\'enl h streets, and occupies a full ot. The building which is being errected onthe corner of M. and Eleventn stroots, is most ready for occupation. The county offices and court rooms are to be located here, the building has been planned with that object in view, and is commodious and con- venient in every respect. Our county officer will now™ have room to move about, and those in search of informa- tion obtained only here will find much better accommodations. The building is very neat in appearance—three stories high and trimmed with white stone sills, doors and window caps and iron cornice. Three convicts escaped from the penitentiary last night. They were what is called brickmen and attended the kilns at night. The report is that the guard went to sleej lnrthu oon- viots took advantage of it and skipped. Their names wre: 8. M.
