¥ { 1 : ! i CENTRAL CITY. It Brows From a Mere Way Sta- tion to & Bustling, Thriving Dity. One Railroad Already There, and the Prospects Good For Two More. Merrick County Strongly Republi® oan and Anti-Monopoly—Odds and Ends. Correapcndence of The Bee. ¢ OrsTrAL City, October 22— Before the Union Pacific railway cntered the Platte valley Lone Treo ranch was a way station for the Overland Stage Company. There was only one house and no offort was made or thought given to farming. After the advent of the iron raila Lone Ttee, as the station was then called, grew slowly, and the surround- ing country gradually settled up. In those early days Edward Parker, or as he was commonly called ‘‘Lone Tree Ned,” was the ruler of this section. Parker w=s handsome, witty and sup- ple; a buckirig broncho or an obstrep- erous 'uffalo was his select amuse- ment, and no one could take better aim on shorter notice, and few could drink more whisky and stand straighter than he. The Iutter ten- dency, however, was the bhane of “Lone Tree Ned,” and under its in- fluence - he lost wealth, position and friends, and has now drifted into obscurity. Poor Ned! There is not “‘an old timer” on these plains that does not heave a sigh of regret when he hears the story. THE B, & M, A year ago the past summer the B. & M. sent one of its branches into Central City and that caused a boom which is still booming. One of the fineat bank buildings in Nebraska was erected by Metcalf & Persinger, and new blocks, churches and vresidences, are in course of construction or being contracted. T could hardly recognize in the Cen- tral City of to-day the station of & fow years past. There are three times the number of business men here now that were here at the time of my last visit, less than three years ago. R. R. PROSPECTS. Two lines of railroad are better than one, and freight rates to Central City since the B. & M. came to compete have been reduced fully one fourth on Omaha or Lincoln shipments, but there are more lines than one lookin, this way, notably the C., M. & 8t. P. road that has run its ?‘nllmhuq lines from Niobrara with the evident intention of finding the best route to Central City. The three great roads of Nebraska would certainly make this a central city. . CArITOLS. Yes, the town isirightly named for it is not only a center for railroads but it is central, geographically consider- od, for both thestate of Nebraska and the United States, and, apropos of that fact, it is not out of the way to state that Central City has a lofty am- bition to secure both of these bonan- zas. There are t&n thousand reasons why the United States capitol should ‘‘go west” and fow up with the country and ‘help to make the country grow and if Mosos Sydenham's Central Star magnet ean t draw the thing then I move that the powerful intellect of Cox or that other mental giant, the editor-in-chief of The Courier, be employed upon this undertaking. Albeit they are modest, shrinking fellows who talk of check but have none, yet they might sacri- fice their feelings and go and get the capital and carry it over from Wash- ington simply to benefit their town and county, MERRICK COUNTY LANDS are now being sold at lower rates than the same kind of land north and south of it, and just why this is can readily beseen, This section has they havo always fared well. Ttis nothing uncominon for good sports- men to kill scveral dozen geese in a day. Ducks, prairie chickens and jack rabbits also abound, the Iat- ter hunted with greyhounds furnish royal sport. ODDY AND ENDS, Contral Uity, having drifted a fow blocks eastward from its old trade cen- ter, J. H Berryman & Bro have for the last few years been practically “out of town.” For twelve yoars they have been in business on west Front street, but now they have rollors under their store and they will go east and will shortly open out in the heart of town with a bigger stock than ever before. This firm has some farms that were picked out years ago, when there was all out doors to select from, and now they have put these farms in the market. 1. 8. Tyndale, a gentleman who formerly engin d a yard-stick in Montreal, P. Q., is tho solo propriotor of the dry goods business, unmixed with vulgar groceries or other miscel- laneous truck. Now there is nothing new or strange about this, but the fact that real lace and the latest and the most costly 1deas in silks and satins are hiero, way out on the frontier, kept in stock and sold as well, is really a quite a curosity, at least to your cor- reapondent. Alex. 8. Bleyer, a good-looking gen- tleman, has two very good-liking, very young children of exactly the same age. They are jowels of the first wi ater, N. W. Hutchins has a new store and two floors covered with a new stock of furniture, Mr. James Fisher lost twenty-five tons of hay yesterday from a fire set out by some crazy fool, The bank of Merrick county, Jo- seph N. Osterlind & Co., ie now fully established. Mr. Osserlind, , acous- tomed to the slow methods of eastern people, expected in the course of time to obtain a paying business, but he as- sures me that in four weeks his de- posits aggregated more than he had hoped for at the end of four years. For town lots and improved farms our readers may apply with advantage to ' this flrm, . The Platte river mills, burned down some three years ago, have been re- built and the owner, Mr. J. G. Brew- or, is'very busy now. Mr. F. Sweot is making such a rap- id fun for the county clerkship that he is expected to beat the best score on the Merrick county r E. Hanson & Oo., have brought oustomers & long distance with their high rates for grain. The freight rates§ are lower, here, and Central City is bound to get the grain and with it the farmers trade if afew cents on the bushel will control the busi- ness, Mr, 1. B. Traver is an old war horse in the anti-monopoly camp and he is this fall loaded to the muzzle with facts and figures for the people. Morgan L. Wright, one of the live men of Central Oit{, has retired from the Contral City house, but J. 8. Gregory, formerly of Plattsmouth, is now filling the bill. The following POLITICAL NOTES were furnished your correspondent by %h ‘ll well posted republican anti-monopo- ist: Politically Merrick county is repub- lican by a hnflme majority, and fortunately anti-monopoly. The rail- road bond BiM afow years ago opened. the eyes of the people, and to-day it would be impossible to elect anything |/ W but an anti-monopoly man . to office, ond the voters of Merrick county are very fortunate to have two mets of anti-monopoly men to choose from., The republicans have placed in nomi- nation good reliable men—men who have been tried and found true to their trust. These who seek re-election = have proved faith- ful . and efficient officers and the new men on the ticket are sup- posed to be eminently qualified to fill their respective positions credibly if elected, which the whole ticket cer- tainly doserven if, as we are informed, the men are anti-monopoly. The farmers’ alliance also have a good ticket in the field. Bome of the candidates on this ticket have been efore the put;rla of Merrick count; asking their suffrage before and are well known, This ticket is championed by men who have been prom- inently connected with all the political movements in the coun- not received the advertising accorded to the more fortunate surrounding country. TOPOGRAPHY, With its smooth, level and velvety bottom and table Lndl, and graceful, undulating uplands, the landscape of Moerrick county presentsamost beauti- ful and pleasing picture tothe eye, and forms one of _its chief attractions. A large proportion of the county is com- posed of bottom and low table lande, covered by luxurious and nutritious graases, and through which run numer- ous streams of pure, living water. With the exception of a line of low oluffs near the Loup river on the north, the whole couniry is a ynst valley, ‘whose surface is smooth and level, al- most every foot of which is tillable and re:rdx for the plowman, Bay Taylor, the eminent trav- eler, author and correspondent, who visited nearly every civilized country of the globe, spesks of this same sec- tion in the following complimentary mwanner; *‘The country is one of the most ‘beautiful I have ever looked upon, I am yuore than ever struck with the great difference between this region and that to the east of the Mississippi. There is none of the wearisome mon- otony of the prairies as in Illinois, or swampy tracts as in Indians or Ohio. The wide, billo: green, dotted all over with golden islands of harvest— the hollows of dark glittering maize— the park-like clumps of timber along the course of the streams~—these were the materials which went to the mak- ing up of every landscape, and of which, in their sweet, harmonious, pastoral beauty, the eye never grows weary.” The above description pictures with fidelity the upland praires beyond the Platte Valley. For further particulars about lots or lands, wild or cultivated, the reader should address N. R. Persin- ger, U, P. and B, & M, land agent, * Tho Omaha Sportsman’s club at their annual hunt invariably send representatives to Merrick county and t)l' and are well known all over the country and need no praise at our hands. But, as we have said time and again, 80 we say now, where the republicans place good men in nomination, men who can be trusted, vote the republican ticket and we bespeak for the ticket in Merrick county a handsome majority. I capnot bid good:bye without thanking Mr .Mayne of the railway land oftice for energetic work in be- half of Tue Brk, and Mr. Hostetter, of Hostetter & Brinninger, general merchants, got Tk Bee more sub- scribers in shorter time than any aide de camp that over was onmy staff.
