) w LHE DALY REN-COMAT 40 myreme o s- THE DAILY BEL: F“,],D‘\Y' — — BUCKEYE IN BUTLER. The Progressive David City and Her Prosperous t'eople. Rising City, Her Business Mon and Her Varted Interests Brainard on the East and the Person- nel that Makes Her Grow. Oorrospondence of The Braixarp, Neb, July 1.—Brain- ard the only village of any size in the eastern part of Butler county, and it is situated on the Oma ha and Republican Valley railroad, ten miles from David City in a south ensterly direction, and eighty-six miles from Omaha., Fi when the railroad was built, the set- is years ago, tlers here were few, and the postoflice But ‘‘the iron horse the little mountaine” and bridged the streams, and every day it is bringing in its loads of merchandise, the material for new houses, and the implements of husbandry, and returning to the home- steader the wealth of his prairie pro- ductions. The smaller settlements north and south of this have lost their actlvity, for the lines marked by the “iron rails” will surely indicate the cities of the future, When a railroad station was planted here and town lots surveyed, the settlers clung to the name of Hiawatha, but the company labeled it Brainard. THE LOCATION is a good one, being surrounded with the best of land, which rolls away like ocean waves, and therich harvests tell of an unknown wealth of fertility. To the northeast is a heavy settlement of Bohemians and Germans; west- ward i a colony of Hollanders, alsoin the most prosperous circumstances; while to the east and south the land is almost all settled by people of the Yankee type from Wisconsin, Illinois, Towa and Missouri, who divide their trade between this village and the county seat. near here was Hiawatha, has climbed LONE 8TAR is the name of a sottlement and post- cffice a fow miles south, where, be- sides the school house and a strong grove, the principal attraction and business center is the nursery of J. P, DUNIAP, who deals extensively in fruit and ornamental trees, small fruits, vines, flowering shrubs, and garden plants, mostly of his own growing; and fow housewives in thesurrounding villages have not bought vegetables of him during the last twelve years, This nursery is on the stage and mail route from David City to Lincoln, and its industrious and genial proprietor, is an anti-monopolist and an oracle at the cross roads. BRAINARD is just enough remote from other towns to give it a good trade. Good water is found at about 28 feet, there is & good drainage, and the best of #oil. The storm of yesterday swept over this place, destroying the small grain in its track, but all around the crop: are looking well; the sufferers are in the minority, although their loss is severe, One of the principal diflicul- ties the town has had to contend with is the tardiness of the railroad com- pany in giving deeds to the purchasers of lots in this village, Theownership of land and the question of titles along the lines of the Union Pacific, has already obtained an unenviable noto- riety, and no doubt there are many who dislike to pay out their money for land where they have little expecta- tion of securing a good deed without litigation, and some of the residents of this burg have paid for their lots years ago and are still hoping they may yet get good deeds and clear titles before they die and leave their property to the children which are growing up around them on land that may be swept away from them while might makes right, and is the supreme law of the land; and he who dares to profest is at once tramped down asa “‘fanatic,” a “kicker,” or a ‘‘com- mune.” But one favorable sign of the times {s the awakening of the people all over Central Nebraska, as well as the whole nation, to the fact that t:m by eautiful “‘sugar coated politicians,” and they are determined not to de- pend upon a fine label any more, seeing, as Col. Ingersoll expressed it - at Cleveland on the 30th of May, that “The handling of caucuses has been accepted for patriotism, and party management has been mistaken for statesmanship,” THE TWO CHURCHES, Protestant and Methodist, are at present, holding service in the fine school house, and the Sunday school is said to be one of the bestin the county, and is attended by almost everyb)dy in the place. FOX & ASHOLD are doing u large business in lumber, grain, live stock and coal, and they expect to build an elevator this sea- son. They carry a full stock of lum- ber, and the senior member of the firm, Mr, J. R. Fox, has been a resi- dent of this county fourteen years, and been identified with its growth and development, GEO, WIECHMANN came here two yoars ago, from Clay- ton county, Ia,, and has put up good buildings, and has the monopoly of the farm implement business; and although the hail storm will kill a of his trade this season, he has lenty left, and is popular with the armers. W, E, JACOBS located in Butler county, a little south. west of David City, a dozen years since, when the prairie in Center pro cinct was unbroken except where tho sod was plowed up for building scd houses, and for some years he has kept the hotel in Brainard, This spring he has added the grocery busi- ness, which makes one more trading house to supply the demand for the gathering population of Kast Butler, PETER §, BROOKS came to this county fourteen years #ince from Illinois, and this epring he has moved into_town and opened the first meat market of the city. He deals in stock, hides, ete., and will soon put a wagon on the road to sup ply the surrounding country. He is a young man of ambition and energy. and is fast butlding up a good busi. ne For fear of woarying the reader, we will pass the gentlemanly and popu lar statiocn agent, Mr. A, H Ashald, the Logans, and the Milson harness shop, and the efficient Constable A. M. Fleck, who has the “‘hoss” hardware store because it is the only one in town, and who reads Tur Bee as rogularly as Sunday morning comes, to mnotce the drug store of DIt G, HARRIGER. The doctor practiced medicine in Philadelphia for a number of years, ccming to Nebraska three or four yeare ago to settle, and he has attain- ed a good practice, being a competent physician and eurgeon, besides keep ing, by the assistance of his excellent wife, *‘the drug swre” of the town, and the success of the dcctor’s labors is shown by his building this sum- mer a good dwelling, and preparing to make himself a home, DBut there are some FARMER KINGS in this region, who have been “‘on the spot” for many years and male fine property. J. D. Brown, four miles enst on Oak Oreek, has been here six- toen years and has probably 1,000 acres of land, good buildings, and raises grain and stock. John Groves, two and one-half miles southeast, has been a ‘‘bug oater” for twenty yoars, and is called an “old ranchman” and is ‘“well fixed,” having seen the dry seasons, the hailstorms, and the grasshoppers, and still he calls this state, with its rich dark soil, and healthful climate, the garden of the Union. Buckeve. Correspondence of The Bee, Ristxa Orry, Neb., June 26.—Hail- tornadoes are storms and some- times blessings in disguise, to some- body, but the people of this burg don’t take kindlg to them, and some are left almost destitute and must have help for this season. But layingaside the clouds and the storms, and visit- ing the business center of West Bat- ler in fair weather we find a general cheerfulness and business prosperity, the buyer and seller anxious for a good trade, farmers’ teams thronging the streets, tho merchante with smiling faces displaying their goods, overy- body seoms to have “‘taken off their coat and rolled up their sleeves” for hard work, and the commercial trav- eler, with his grip-sack, marches to his customer as steadily and regularly as a stago horse finds his way to the barn. RISING CITY i tho name of the postofiice, while the station is Risings, possibly intended to bo in the possessive case, and was named for L. W. Rising, one of the enrlior settlors in this part of the country and the father of all the Ris- ings hore, a numerous, wealthy and respected class of citizons, It is about 95 miles from Omsha by rail, and mostly on the northern slope of an east and west ridge; and on both sides of the Omaha & Ropublican Valley railroad, It has a good school with a spiced school houzo, two good churches, the last one built being by the Methodists, and costing $4,000 or $56,000. This building has just been finished, and at tho dedication a few weeks ago, the announcement was made that there was §700 debt on the building, which brought out the money, and §815 was raised on the spot. The Congregationalists also have a neat house, Among the other gducational items we notice the pruamfiy of the INDEPENDENT, ‘Lhis paper was the first one in the county to put on an anti-monopoly label. We have all become too old to make gods of men, or wership poor humanity, that is when we ‘‘see our- selves,” but we will give the Inde- pendent the credit of earning its 600 circulition, and well worthy of the public patronage it so liberally re- ceives, Mr. D. O. Verity is_just returning from a six months’ visiv in the east, and will build more houses and ex- tend his business. Theltrading houses and shops are all of the botter class, and the HOTEL, 80 much inquired after by the travel- ing man, is worthy of notico as another important fastor in the growth with which time means these young cities on the prairie. Since the Bellou house burned down, during the past year, the way- faring man has had to depend on the charities of the public, as thero was really mno other hotel in town; but within «tho past month GEO. NYCUM, quite recently from Pennsylvania, has secured the old Raymond House on the north side apd begun to *‘fit ana fix" and has opened it as a hotel under the name of The Rising City Hotel, and it begins to seem like old times to the traveling public. Mr. N, is one of the most pleasant and cheerful men, and he exhibits & thoroughness and energy in organizing his forces that ca but muke his enterprise a success, He expects to have a stable connected with the house, and the boys alreudy found that he knows how to *‘get up table.” Among the other periodical visitors we met here was M. C. JONES, the popular representative of the wholesale grocery house of Paxton & Gallagher of Omaha, who are just moving into their large new brick on Tenth street near the depot. Brother Jones had taken his dinner and looked the picture of contentment while he waited for his teain to whirl him to David, . . ROBERTS, the veteran grain, farm amplement, and stock man, attends quietly to bus- iness every day, aud is putting up a good steamn elovator expecting to be ready to handle all the grain that will come to him this fall. The other grain man, we judge, is DR, ¥. ENGLEHARD, who seems to have given all thoughts of politics beccme & genuine granger, up al- though he “fixes his fences” a little now and then we judge, for he has just put a spanking new fence around his door yard, and has 1,000 acres sin t this season, and he intends to build some large grain houses before the fall grain comes in. L. B. MACK & Co. are heavy dealers in farm implementa, and from the amount of stock on hand and the way they seem to keep busy one would think they » selling all the machinecy for the county. . A, WARNER is pretty well known in Butler and parts of Polk countys, and is one of the substantial men of the place, and owns “the boss hardware store,” and like the governor of South Carolina “he don’t know himself from any- body else” when he has a democratic cook stove to sell. He has a large trade, e SOCIETIES aro well represented here. Tho Masons and Grand Army of the Re- public have strong organizations here, and are in a flourishing and prosper- ous condition, and it is understood that a rociety of the *‘Triple Link” will soon be instituted; and Rising is thoroughly and strongly anti-monopo- ly, the Farmers’ Alliancs being strong in the west part of the county, and in Polk county west. As yot thero seems to be no decided action as to who shall fill the offices this fall, and Rising seems to have no pets, but does want a bank and a barber, and is getting very much in earnest about it. 1t seems next to impossible to notice all the business houses and dwellings, the rich soil, splondid orops (until the hail storm, which swept away some) and pros: perity of the farmers, who are con- stantly building good houses, and the wealth that surrounds this three year old town ot three or four hundred souls, with no borovgh organization, and no saloons. BUCKEYE, Correspondence of Tun Brx, Davio Crry, Neb,, June 26, —But- ler county will still have good crops if the remainder of the season is fa- vorable, except in the track of the tornado of yesterday. There is a general prosperity in business of all classes, and tho mosses are feeling hopeful, ULYSSES, in thejsouthwest, is growing as rapidly as any part of the county. The old McCarsy mill is being handled over and now machinery and repairs are instituted, and new “burs” and more in number supplied, and the proprie- tora congratulate themselves on a suc- cessful season of work, R. M. SIBBIT, the attorney of the place, and the resident agent for the large tract of “gpeculator’s land” just east of the town, has been buying up town lots and stores and dwellings, and is build- a $2,000 residence in the upper part of town, just south of the school house. Amoug the other new build- ings, *‘dame rumor” tells of another elevator for the fall trade. THE CHURCHES are active and busy with the usual amount of sociables and picnic. The Methodists have built a neaf and comfortable church buildig during the past season, and th: olic sociely are understood to paring to build another; and ne doctors, new tradesmen, now citizens, and new houses seem to be the order of the day, and, of course, Ulysses will have a grand Fourth of July. Tho school board hus organized on the *six member plan,” and hopes are entertained that Prof. Reece can be retained another year, avoiding the poor economy and injury to the schools, consequent on frequent change; and perhaps it will bo possi- ble, now that two saloons are per- mitted in the village. A NUMBER OF DEATHS, mostly of children, from scarlet fever, have made some homes desolate within a few months, and among the older members of society, Judgs Wilkin- son, the first county judge of Butler county, who has been feeble some years, and died at an advance age. IN DAVID CITY the changes are quite noticeable, Dr. C, 0. Cook, has yielded his office and business to Dr. J. H, Calkins, former- ly a practioner in Ulysses, and who has just formed a partnership with Dr. (. H. Peebles, s member of the facul- ty of the medical college at Omaha, Dr. Cook has located at Rising. DR, J. T. MURPHY has put in a stock of drugs and taken in a partner. James Bell, the voteran lumber mah, is putting up a good steam ele- or, Wells' lumber office is moved just south of tho tra J. €. Wanaerlich ana man, are selling furniture in “The Old Barracks,” and [orace Garfield has roturned to city life, A NEW MILL is now supposed to bo a sure thing for David City, and the kunowing ones talk of it ae a fixed fact. Among the “new things” is the new public feel- ing in favor of anti-monopoly, which seoms to be very strong here John 1. Nelson has sold his interest in the grocery business and isto travel with a patent right, invented hore, called THE BLACKSMITH'S FORGING HaMMER, invented by Martin M. Fish of this place. and very ingenious machine, intended to stand nearly on the opposite side of the anvil from the blacksmith, and take the place of an assistant in doing the heavy work with the hammer, being worked by the foot. The old saying that there 18 ‘‘Nothing new under the sun,” seems almost to be an untruth, techuically, for the world seems full of inventors and inven. tions, and this machine seems to be of great value. It is so constructed that the treadle may be folded up out of the way by a kick of the foot, and returned by the same simple pro- c2s. The hammer may be held back out of the way by as simple a device, aud the hawmer may be easily ad. justed to & high or low auvil, or readily set in a mowent to strike on any part of tho anvil, and the blow can bo tempered and controlled as cusily as by hand, A half a dozen Dan. Cole- gentleman remarked that half the menin town would like to travel with this machine. The proprietors have ast made arrangements with West- over & Fisher, of Lincoln, Neb., to manufactyire on a large scale, agreeing 800 worth every month, e putting in steam power and machinery to begin at once.
