DMAHA ALMOST ON A SIDE-TRACK Bwords Crossed With Council Bluffs on the First Vital Issue—Anyth- ing and Everything Of- flered the Railroad. A Battle For Omaha. And now for some bridge history in connection with the early construction of the Union Pacific railway, which we have been discussing for the last few weeks. Accuracy of date I will not pre- tend to secure, but I can approximate pretty closely to what occurred as to time. I shall endeavor to keep myself wholly within the line of the truth as it came under my observation in respect to the one thing upon which Omaha finally achieved success, against formidable opposition, for as to wher the great business of this railroad was to be done would inevitably” be deter- mined by the location of the bridge. That it was located elsewhere, and that . It was the fixed intention of the direc- Jorate,supported by the entire influence of Council Bluffs and the state of Iowa, backed by senators and representatives n coungress, to eep it' at that point, no “man need doubt, ' The surveys for the bridge location were begun the winter of 18656 and were prosecutod every winter till 1868, the last work having been donc at Bellevue in Fchrunry of that year. In June, 1867, Mr. J. E. House, the engi- neer, accompanied Colonel J. L. Will- lams, of Indiana, the government engi- neer, over the Childs’ Mill line, a loca~ “tion which, as Mr. House says, wasa fayorite with him, and he then s0 ex- pressed himsolf, (,Mlda Mill ook its name from Childs, who still lives here, and who owned a farm six miles from Omaha down the river, on whick this mill was situated. In March, 1868, maps and profiles were lnrwuded lrom the engineer's office to New York, This is the last ac- ourate information in regard to the lo- ' eation that I can lay my handon, It " must have been in that year, at a later ~ period, that the question of location ‘was in suspense. The people of Omaha had assumed that Council Bluffs was &llud with them in having the *bridge located here. The mat- ter drifted and there was very little " sgitatton about it. I happened to be ‘one of a few people, being the more t beoause I was the editor of the Herald at the time, who did not feel at “all comfortable in respect to the matter of the location of the bridge. There s a algnificant silence about the sub- 5, Xt bad happened that Colonel Silus K, Boymour, lute engineer of New York, who was consulting engineer of the Union Pacific railway, had visited and was aocompauied by his son , & bright young gentleman I had taken a strong faucy to. I mck it upon myself one day, word with anyone else to telegraph, not to Colonel Seymour the engineer, but to his son George, asking him the direct question if the Union Pacific bridge had been located and if so, where? I received a prompt auswer from Mr. Seymour saying that the day before the Union Pacific hoard of directors had had a meeting at its old offices on Nassuu street and, under the lead of General G. M. Dodge and Gov- ernment Engineer Williams afore- said, had formally located the bridge at Childs’ mill, six miles away from Omaha. It did not take me long to understand the meaning of thay action. My office was then on the cor- ner of Thirteenth and Douglas streets. opposite the Millard, and in turn oppo. site that corner was the old Omaha Na- tional bank, of which the late Mr. Ezra Millard was president. I walked hastily across the street, en- tered the banking house of Mr. Millard, aud finding him there, asked him to walk over to the First National bank as I desired to meet himself and Mr. Au- gustus Kountze. We went loqcther to Mr. Kountze's bank, found him in and asked him into his banking parlor to talk with us. We entered that sanctum and [ handed Mr. Kountze the dis- patch from Mr. George Seymour, re- questing him to read it aloud. I had not yet disclosed to Mr, Millard the ob- ject oi'my call on him, or to either of the gentlemen the purpose of the visit to Mr. Kountze. Mr. Kountze read the dispatoh and there was a very dead silence reigning 1n that little room for ufew moments. These two astute bank- ers and fighting friends of Omaha saw, as I had seen, that here was plenty of business for this then little people if they expected to save what they had so long labored to secure—their proper- ties in the future city, The announcement to the country of the selection of the Childs’ Mill cross- ing meant simply paralysis here under which nothing could either prosper or have any value. It put Omaha ov a sidetrack, took traflic southward and vn.ubl) made Council Bluffs the exclusive center of all business—hend- quarters, shops, and of the transaction of over'yunng, and T think in the judg- ment of all impartial men,had the loca- tion of the bridge romainéd at Childs’ Mill, this town would have gone tho way Florence went when the ecapital re- moval fell and the railways were run down Mosquito creek. It would have been exterminated, in other words, and this land would have been devoted to the production of corn and other veget- ables and worth $30 an acre instead of as hign as $1,600 a foot. The question, of courso, was ‘*What is to be done?” [t goes without saying that something was done and very promptly, It was agreed,l think on my own suggestion; this was about mid-day that I received the dispatch; thatthere should be a meeting of the own- ers of property and the characler and brain of this city that even- ing, and that it was to be held in the rlor of the Omaha National, Mr. Mil- ard’s, bank. A list of numes was made ouf. Secrecy as to the nature of the trouble was maintained to the utter- wost and the result was the gathering in that banking room of as many men as it would hofll fifty or sixty of our ulranzut peo) le. to whom tho fact of the location J’m brldgo at Childs’ mill was made known. It may be enough to say that there waa 'a great deal more hat meeting in respect to the formof action and also what should be done than there seems to be about the building of the postoffice between the Planters’ house and Eighteenth and Farnam streets at this time, To put it stronger, there was no dis- seuting voice on the plan of operations which involved the appointment of a committee of eight gentlemen whose duty it should be to immediately repair to New York and endeavor to procure the relocation of the bridge at what was called Train’s crossing, from the fact that George Francis Train had pur- chased the ground in his Credit Foncier enterprise, where it now 1s. I will fur- nish a list of the gentlemen present in the next convorsation we have on this subject. This committee without delay went to New York and there met a corre- sponding committee from Council luffs composed of its leading citizens, with General Dodge in the midst. General Dodge at this time was the chief representative of the interests of Council Bluffs. He always held the po- sition that that city was the legal ter- minus of the road, which was uhm ward confirmed by the courts, and he was re- lied upon to maintain the location he had assisted to make. Our people were met, b% their Council Bluffs friends with a good deal of chaff and ridicule, the burden of which was that the site of the bridge had been definitely deter- mined; that our people would never live l(mg enough to see it replaced ad- vantageously to them, and that the Omahn committee had better go home, This committee, as I received reports from individual members of it, could rot no satisfaction out of Mr. Dillon and the board, nor from the engineers. ‘The common talk occurring afterward which said that this was a blufl on the partof Mr. Durant, and that he had procured it with a view to obtaining subsidies or other advantages here, is disproved by every fact connected with the controversy.” The first fact is that be was in Burope and had nothing whatever to do with the loca- tion. Thut was done by his engineers while he was engaged in larger trans- actions. Further facts will be shown before I get through with the history of the location of this bridge which wifl not only confirm what I am saying, but will prove it conclusively by testimony that nobody will dispute. Now the battle began between Coun- cil Bluffs and Omaha on this board of directors. To induce this change ar- guments were made by our people and, under istruction from the unanimous voice of Omaha, every proffer was made —to divide the town, to give anything, not to hestate at anything in the way of pecuniary aid in the erection of the bridge and getting it back w Omaha. A million dollars in bonds was dis. cussed, $600,000, #500,000, and all in vain- The board of directors answerea back to the committee saying that the loca- tion of the bridge could not be changed because it was, under the eyes of the engineers, the true placa to keep it in shortening the line into the Platte valley, and in economizing the operat- ing expenses of toe road as well as in building it. The estimated difference in cost between Childs’ Mill and*Omaha. was a matter of dispute which took on @ peculiur phase later on, Several weeks elapsed, the Omlhu representatives -vekiuf in vain to some encouragement in relpec.t.lot wmatter in Dr. Durant’s absence. There wis & Kood deal of discouragement among the committee, but they were of the bull dog order, aud when Messrs. Kountze and Millard gave up anything that ll!euusd the welfare of. Omaha, there was always rent reason for it. This was distine true of both these gentlemen ln ll the early his- ,and I want to say right eru of my valued friend, the late Mr. fillard, that when this town lost missed a man_who was alway vigilant, always alert, always energetic and always ready to help in protecting and building upthe interests of Omaha. No man connccted with the controversy over this bridge served with more abii- ity and more fidelity than himself. Patient and untiring, he was always the pleasant, persistent, aggressive Ezra Millard. At the meeting of citizens.referred to I had declined to serve on the commit- tee when it was appointed,stating then, and as I believe yet, that I could do more good with my newspaper, as a writer and supplicant for that railroad, at that time and since, than I could by going to New York in that capacity. * I remained here until one day Mr. Herman Kountze received a telegram from his brother Augustus, who was on the committee in New York, telling him_to send, as I remem- ber it, Mr. O. P. Hurford and myself to New York by the noxt train. 1 oboyed that order with alacrity after T had in- sisted that the city council should give me authority to act, which I believe was done, although T have forgotten whether it was or not. At any rate, Mr., Hurford and I went on the next train, arriving in New York ata late hour of the night in the midst of o pelt- mg in storm, Going immediately to the St. Nicho- las hotel, where the Omaha committeo bad its apartments, we met the yarious members of that committee and ascer- tained that nothing had been gained by the long contention; that matters were in very grave doubt and uncertainty; that Dr. Durant had just returned from Europe, and that we werc wanted especmily to get a hearing of him, which the committee had not succeeded in doing up to that time in any way that was satisfactory or encouraging. T will tell the rest of this history at another sitting. e EDUCATIONA L. Investigation shows that the publications of ofticers of Harvard numbered, during the | two years 1885 and 1887, 933.

Blizabeth Oady Stanton’'s Advice to Moral Reformors. EDUCATE THE CHILD'S FATHER. And the Whole Face of Society May Be Changed Before the Cele- bration of the Next Cen- tennial. Suggestions to Young Men. There is no end of howmilies published for young women, on the duties of wives, mothers and housekeepers, but so little is ever said or written to young men on their duties as husbands, fath- ers and heads of families, that one might naturally suppose that in domes- tic life man was of minor consideration, and yet here as an equal factor, his in- fluence for weal or woe is more potent than 1n any other position whatever. Let the young man who is indulging in all manner of excesses, remember that in considering the effect of the va rious forms of dissipation on himself, his own health and happiness, he does not begin to measure the evils of hi life. Asthe high priest at the family altar his deeds of darkness will inflict untold suffering, both mental and phys - ieal degeneracy, on generation after generation. As the only hope of a radical reform in social life, lies in the education of chil- dren, their development is the starting point of the philosopher. In spite of all asylums and charities, religious dis- of pauperism, intemperance and crime are no nearer a satisfactory solution than when Jefferson and Adams signed the Declaration of Independence. If we would use the same common sense in ordinary affairs of life, we should foundation of so- n the parenthood, ntel' of the evils, ying to cut-off. vorKk we must do tho source and I\'how branches we 4 e is much surface in reform for decency’s sake, but all this patching up ol ignorant, dis- eased, criminal humanity is teans- ient, affecting no radical m\ prove- ment anywhe Those us who have lou gince ]msnud the meridian of life, can give the result of our researches into social science, but with the fathers and mothers of the future rests the hope of the higher clvilization, it is possible for the race to attain, '.hruugh obedience, the law. The lovers of science come back to us from every latitude and longitude bear- ing the same message, “‘all things o governed by law,” and yet man him- solf, who holds in his own hund the koy to wil knowledge and power, scems never to be in unison with the grandens of the world in which he lives. If all the thought, the money, the re- ligions, enthuuum, Bxpcnded in the regeneration of the race were mnow rightly diverted in the generations of our descendants, fu the ambitions and environments of parents and children the whole face of society might be changed before we celebrate the next centennial of our natal life. Gutton 1n his work on heredity says ‘‘our present civilization is growing too complicated for our best minds even to grasp much less to solve its taugled problems, aud 10 moet successfully the issues of the hour humanity must be lifted up a fow degrees, asspeedily as possible.” And where must this radical work begin? There is no hope of improvement in our political, religious or social life, but in the education and development of a higher type of children. The most diflicult lesson to impress on any mind, s tho extent of individual influence, and parents, above all others, resist the belief that their children are exactly what they make them, no more, no less, like produces like. The origin of ideas was long a disputed point with different schools of philosophers. Locke took the ground that the mind of mori child born into the world, is like a piece of blank paper that you may write thereon whatever you will. ut science has proved that such idealists as Descartes were nearer right: that the human family came into the world with ideas, with marked indi- vidual proclivities; that the prenatal conditions have more influence than all the education that comes after. The work henceforth is the develop- ment of the powers bound up in that new-born, and no other possibilities can ever be add If famil, to the thi grandson gesture, q sion as the grandinther he lm-)l ¢ seen, it is evident that each imh"ul\ml may reap some advantage and develop- ment from those predecessors whose lives in all matters, and small, are governed X law, Isynm)nm-lnntmus sense of duty; not by feeling, chance or appetite.
