An Old Nebraska Town With a Most Romantic Record. HOW THE LOG FORT WAS HELD. An Interview With the Founder— Andian Troubles in Early Days— The Hard Winter—After Thirty-Three Years. Reads Like a Romance. NiosrArA, Neb., June 6.—[Special to Tue Brz.|—~The history of Nebraska can not be very well written if Niobrara is left out. Not so much because ot 1ts present commer- clal importance, but because of its import- ance in the state’s pioneer history. Long Pefore Omaha bad emerged from her swad- dling clothes, or Lincoln's saline shores had Dbeen visited by & white man, or any habita- tion had ventured far from the state's me- tropolis, Niobrara was settled by some of the most intelligent men of our country. General G. W. Jones, one of Iowa’s first sen- stors, whose residence is in Dubuque, was Interested in its early history and was one of the original town company. The late Judge A. W. Hubbard and Judge Moore, of Sioux City, were also interested, while we had D, 8. Nye, of Council Bluffs, a nephew of Gen- eral Cass and cousin to Indian Commissioner Manypenny, without whose influence at Washington the whites could not have held Niobrara or a foot of territory west of Da- kota county. THE FOUNDER OP NIOBRARA was Ur. B, Y. Sheiley, who staked the town and declared the town’s name on June7, 1856, It being just thirty-three years ago to- day, Tue BEe correspondent sought Dr, BShelloy, who makes his old town summer quarters, and derived from him some of the jpotent features of our state's history, which have never before been published. have always contended,” said the doc- for, ‘‘that the ‘Niobrara country,’ ln'\))lerly ing, comprised simply the Running ter valloy and its tributaries —of which, of course, Niobrara was to be the destined metropolis, The rogion formerly known as ‘the Niobrara country’ is situated botwecn way (lowa on the maps) creck and tho iobrara (L'Eau qui Court, or Running ‘awer) river, extending from the Missouri westward, including what is known as the Bow valleys, Bagile creek, & portion of the Elkhorn, and the yalley of the Niobrara with its various trib- utaries. Its extent on the Missouri is about e hundred miles, and it embraced in its &l:: some of the choicest lands i Ne- @, Previous to 1853, continued the doctor, sighis portion of Nebrasks, and indeed all the country between the Plate and Niobrara rivers, was CLAIMED DY TIE OMATIA INDIANS. By a treaty made and entered into that ear between these Indians and the United overnment, the former relinquished @l claiin to the entire country between the rivers before mentioned, save what might Micient for a suitable reservation. ‘Ihe ians would appear by the the terws of the to have intended that portion of their mluln lying botween Aloaway creek the Niobrara, or ‘the Niobrara counti their reservation and future howe, siico un ardicle of the tre this section was deslgnuted such, with the wd proviso, however, thut they might some other, under cortain conditions. 1885 the United Stetes Indian togethor with tho chief men i@ Omahas, without examining Niobrara country, in complianee with ctions of the departmcnt, de- to BUBSTITUTE VUE “HLACKBIRD COUNTRY i reservation—a country in almost et iuferior to the Niobrava coun- r thoey mude this |mul:l- un-‘nunufi thelr own accord; whether they feare: Poneas, who had already manifestod protensions to the soil; or whothier, us is most probable, they were prompted by those who at that time alone knew the value of the Niobrara country, I would not pre- sume to say."’ At any rate, the consequence of this change in the Omaha reservation, confirmed by the governiment, was, of course, that the country lying between Aloaway creek and the Niobrara river reverted to the United States, subject to pre-emption laws like other public lands. No sooner had matters been settled with the Omahas_than the Poncas, evidently influenced by their white con- nections, began very strenuously to urge their claims to TIE FAMOUS NIOBRARA COUNTRY. They warned the whites to keep off by or- ders written by a white man. This, with the impression industriously circulated by influ- ential people, that that country was not open for settlement, had the desired effect of keep- ing it for a while in its old condition. In 1850, while the entire tevritory of Ne- braska was in possession of the Indians, ex- empi from the grasp of the white man, and unknown to him, save so much as TIHE ZEALOUS INDIAN TRADER knew, or the mere explorer of the Missouri river had laid down on the old and uncer- tain maps of the oxtreme west, or what might be gleuned from a general description of the territories of the United States, Dr. Shelley, then engaged in some private ex- plorations in the valley of the Missouri, and at the time sojourning in Council Bluffs, had his attention called to the Niobrara country by some vivid accounts by mountain traders and pioneer Mormons, who had seen “plenty of pine and other good timber up there.’ Some Mormons had, previous to taking up their winter quarters with the Omahas, at- tempted a settlement ut or near tha mouth of the Niobrara river, but were frustrated by the determined opposition of the Peonca In- dians, Traces of this short-lived SETTLEMENT OF “‘SAINTS" existed in 1858, not only of demolished build- ings of the living, but other monuments bet- ter attesting their troubles and persecutions at the hands of the “Lamanite,” “In May, 1856,” said the doctol ccompa- nied by R. R. Cowan, we set out with the de- termination to explore the territory, and se- lect its most favorable spot for e town site, Crossing Aloaway creek we begin our jour- ney THROUGH THE CONTESTED DOMAIN, Following along the sinuous course of the Missouri we passed by many beautiful spots, upon which towns have since beon laid out, Every high point of biluifs which we weroe compelled to traverse in our course served a8 something of wn obscrva- tory, from which we could view the surrounding country and search out the un- known location of the point desired. ‘I'he “muddy Missourr’ still continced day after day along our line of travel, to rush madly by the chalk biuffs, which we knew must be cleared before we need look for the pure waters of the Niobrara. Tbough the trail was tiresome and our meuns of conveyance by no means encouraging, yet wa porse- vered like genui irontiersmen until we were rewarded by the sight of the very re- ality we wera socking for. Haviug gained the eminence of & high bluff, the hoautiful plateau at the mouth of he Running Water was suddenly thrust before us. ‘I'be spot once reached, there was no neeld to look farther, for the first glance would ve de- cisive in the min¢ of auy observer, and now nothing remaiued BUT TO MARK TUE CLAIM in accordance with law and custom. The town claim of Niobrara was accordingly made on the 7th day of June, 1856, in the presence of the whole tribe of Ponca In- dians, whose chief village had been situated for several scores of years, as we were as- sured by both Indians and French traders.” In Septewber foliowing, the first building was croeted in Niobrara. It was constructed of logs three feet in diameter, and was do- signed to wor the double purpose of & fort and & protection to_its inmates from the loments. The *‘old cabin” stood for several rs after, when it was burned. In the fol- lowing moutn, Dr. Shelley made a personal examination of the Kunning Water valley for u distauce of ninety miles, where he saw TUE OUTSKIRTS OF THE PINE REGION and satisfied himself as to the character and value of the country and the pine timber, He made the expedition and wus guided and accompunied by a single Indisn, ‘‘Little Rabbit,” who had lost caste und became an outlaw frow his tribe, He secured the ser- vices of the outlaw after otuer attempts had failed, ‘Tue winter of 1850-7, remarkable all over the country for its deep snows and frigid cold, was in other respects PREGNANT WITH DIFFICULTIES to the four gentlemen—Hurry Huddleston, Clinton Beam, James ySlxmll ant “Dutch Fred,” who passed the winter in Niobrara in the employ of the original L'Eau qui Court company. Several new cabins were built on the town claim, which were torn down and burned by the Indians, still constantly tampered with by their masters, who were stirgulated by jeal- ous speculators who were anxious to gain possession themselves by first ejecting those \¥ho had made bold to gain the first foot- old. Recourse was also had to misrepresenta- tions, and urgent appeals to the commandant at Fort Randall; and it is worthy of note that Colonel Lee, commanding tho post, rep- resented iu his orders that they were sanc- tioned by the then governor of Nebraska and other functionaries of the territory, which orders were peremptory to the white occupants of Niobrara, to LEAVE THE PLACE FORTHWITH, or he should be obliged to coerce them as intruders upon indian lands. “This combined attack of Indians, specu- lators and men of different ranks, grades and stations,” continued Dr. Sheiley, **how- cver formidable it may appear, was success- fully resisted and overcome, though it mani- fested itself also with considerable strength in its efforts to defeat the passage of an act iucorporating the L’Eau qui Court com- pany.” ‘The commandant of the post having been furnished with the opinion of the secretary of the interior declaring the disputed coun- try open for white settiors, and naving re- ceived corresponding instructions from the secretary of war, he immediately suspended all interference with the white settlers. Upon this the prospects of peace to the scttlers seemed to brighten, but the In- dian annoyances still contioued, and during the spring months numerous acts of hostility wero committed, live stock and other prop- erty destroyed by the Poncas, who were often MADE DRUNK WITH WHISKY, and thus exasperated to intimidate the set- tlers, and, if possible, frighten them from their possessions, Such opposition did the claim-holders at Niobrara experience during the winter and spring following of 1856-7. It 1s not often that a contest so long and so warmly waged between such parties as frontiersmen and Indians can be placed upon record WITHOUT ITS MARKS OF BLOOD, and 1t is deemed but a matter of justice to at- tribute an escape from such disaster to the wisdom and cool, prudent conduct of the worthy men who'passed the first winter at Niobrara, “Colonel Lee repeated), expressed his surprise,”” the doctor said, “ay the unaccountable obstinacy of those men who held the place, He advised them to leave ‘the Ponca country,’ ‘as he expected daily to hear of their being scalped.’ He could furnish them no protection, but he sent orders to ‘Old Whip,” the chief, com- manding him to desist from. further molest- ing the whites. During the session of the territorial legis- ture of Nebraska this same winter, the L’ Eau qui Court company was duly incor- porated. In the act of incorporation the site of Niobrara was located, the company's claim defined and liberal ferry and bridge privileges guaranteed; and it the same se sion un act was passed creating THE COUNTY OF L' EAU COURT, by which Niobrara secured the seat of justice in the corporate limits. 1 have been thus particular in detailing the earliar history of Niobrara, its troubles, trials and obstacles, that I mighv show more plainly with what eagerness it was sought, and with how much importance the point was everywhere regarded even sl that early day. Tho vigorous opposi- tion which had thus far attended settlement rendered it injudicious and unsafe to make such improveients as were desirable, -since they were sure to meet the fate to h Indians usually consign every mark of - zation. ‘Lhe spring of 1857 opened with wore encouragiug auspices. and the opposition having sufficiently abated to remove all doubts of the ultiate success of the enter- prise. a few of the more acive and liberal members took care that no time should be lost in pushing forward with Niobrars with vi go Ep A, Fay., The flower bounets are the chief charm of the present dainty display of French milli- nery. o~ 615-615 N.16 = ST-we ‘m 5 @_'$75 worth$;)(f)g Goods sold on Time Payments and delivered free of charge to Florence, Fort Omaha, us Clearing Sale for THIRTY DAYS ONLY! $50 Hall Racks reduced to....... $40 Hall Racks reduced to $25 Hall Racks reduced to......... ......$35.00 ..$25.00 ......$15.00 $50 Ladies’ Cabinet reduced to..........$35.00 $35 Ladies’ Cabinet reduced to..........$20.00 $65 Secretaries veduced to...............$45.00 $50 Secretaries reduced to .............$35.00 $25 Pier Extension Tables reduced to..$15.00 $20 Pier Extension Tables reduced to..$12.50 $25 Ladies’ Writing Desks reduced to..$15.00 $15 Fancy Polished Rockers reduced to.$9.50 $75 Folding Beds reduced to............$50.00 $60 Folding Beds reduced to... ce.....$40.00 $40 Folding Beds reduced to............$25.00 THEIL MSSS, oods, $2.50 per week or $10 per month. worth of goods, $3 per week or $10 per month. $200 worth of goods, $5 per week or $20 per month Council Bluffs and South Omaha.

Left off keeving record here, I'm engaged myself, my dear. Her Servant Girl. At one time I noticed that every friend who called upon me met me with what I can only describe as suppressed grins, says a writer in the London Queen. I could not imagine the cause of this general but covert merriment. ‘We discussed it in the family, but with- out arriving at any solution of the mys- tery. One day it was all revealed. I had forgotten my latch-key, and upon returning home was obliged to ring. Our front door is half of ground glass. In the very center of the panel is & wide transparent rose. i chanced to glance at this just after my ring, and | was startled quite out breath at what I saw—a great green cyclopean eye fill- ing the space of the rose. It was thus that our general help took ebservations of our guests bhefore she unclosed our portals to them. A Libel on the Tadies. Have you ever taken iparticular no- tice of tfle fact that amicely dressed lady, especially as to ‘headgear and neckwear, always secks @ seat in a street car up in one of the forward cor- ners? says the ChicagoHerald. Well, she almost invariably'dees. Maybe you will wonder why, and i is only right and proper that you should be informed on the subject. It is a self-evident truth that a lady loves to look at her- self in a mirror, espedially if she 18 well dressed, It is an evew chance that the front platform of a street car is oc- cupied by two or more smokers who al- ways lean back against the front win- dows. This obstructs a view of the street, but the dark background of the smoker’s coat renders the window mir- ror-like, 8o that & person in the corner seat can see his or her reflection in the gluss. This 1s really why Jadies with new hats or wraps like to get uY theve. They can incidentally look at their ap- arel all the way down town and thus e afforded a great deal of feminine satisfaction, At this particular season, writes Mamie L. Hatchett to the Lincoln Call, when the question of clothes 18 agits ing more thin any the feminine mind, the followi | suggeste. 'he Bible iu its opening chapters and 1g thoughts are naturally everything in nature, from the gar- ments or fig leaves worn by our first parents to the leafy bowered trees and flower-clothed fields, teaches the pro- priety and necessity of apparel—some- times gay, sometimes sombre, accord- ing to the time, place and occasion. But while they teach beauty in all things, they also teach modesty, simplicity and harmony. They impress the fact, too, that we shiould keep within bounds of our own individual ability, not indulg- ing our love of adornment at the ex- ense of others. Does the lily borrow rom the rose? or the tiniest shrub from the mightiest forest king? It is natural, it1s proper, it is right; nay further, it is the duty of every woman to make herself as_comely and attractive as her means and opportuni- ties permit her. She should cultivate ph[ysiuinl charms, and above all indiv- uality, as any other God given talent; but she should not spend more time or money than necessary on these accom- plishments. There are many arguments against the two evils—overdressing and not dressing enough. Expensive attire involves: 1. A waste of time and misapplication of powers which should be devoted to something higher. The woman who makes fashion the study of her life finds very little time for anything else, and by depending too much on the attrac- tions of her outward uppearance,is apt to neglect the cultivation of those in- born graces of heart and mind which constitute the only lasting beauty and the only type worth aspiring to. 2. It necessitates an expendituro of money that could be used for better pur- poses. Persons who have been fortu- nate enough either to inherit or accum- ulate wealth, have no moral right to withhold food and rayment from God’s suffering poor in order that they may indulge a weak vanity. It causes a_gossip, excites envy and jealousy, and not infrequently keeps persons of smaller means from church and places of amusement which they would otherwise attend and enjoy. It tempts them to commit frauds and thefts in order that they may keep pice with their wealthier and more ostenta- tious neighbors. It encourages selfish- ness and cruelty. Think of the thous- ands of innocent, bright winged birds that are sacrificea every yearon the e s A S S human vietims of the sewing machine and scissors. Slatternly apparel is more inexcus- able and equally deplorable. A slovenly woman is a disgrace to the mother who reared her, and a perpeturl mortifica- tion to the unfortunate man the dignity of whose name she so little appreciates. Sparse dressing is wrong cvery way, criminally wrong, since 1t is degrading to the woman who practices it and de- moralizing to her associates. Talmage says: “Show me the fashion plates of any nge hetween this and the time of Louis LVI of KFrance, and Henry VIII of England, and I will tell you the type of morals or immorals of thatage or that year, Noexception to it. Modest ap- parel means a_righteous people. Im- modest apparel meaus a contaminated and depraved sociery.” And Talmage is 1ght, for women who are reaily pure minded and true shrink instinctively from bare shoulders and naked arms, The woman who is willing to exhibit herself in a promiscuous crowd in a decollete waist, is not the woman whom an intelligent, virtuous man would care to_acknowledge us a sister or a wife; and since her object is to excite admiration, she displays a judgment as wealk as her morals, and defeuts the very end which she is striv- ing to accomplish, Persons of taste, natural or culti- vated, have their fastidious ideas of suitability and the “eternal fitucss of things shocked continually. For in- stan a10-cent lawn with a 85 sash and $10 bonnet, muke up a costume that gives these sensative individuals a nervous vigor. A tea gown at a dinner party or asilk dress at a picnic is equally conspicuous and out of taste. True elegance in dress, as in all things else, consists in harmony, sim- plicity and suitability; and the most graceful and artistic costume is that which is the most natural and easy, and comfortable to the one who wears it. Girls, Get a Yellow Garter. The very latest and funniest whim is the wearing of the yellow garter, says the New York Sun. Just one garter, not two, you understand, and it must be worn juet above the left knee. The other stocking may be wrinkled discon- solately over the shoe-top, or be fast- ened in place by any one or all of the mysterious devices known only to the initiated, but the left one is held firmly by a band of yellow silk elastic, with a ribbon rosette of the same shade, and the correct and proper thing is to wear it night and day for six months. The yellow garter’s origin is shroud- ed in murky uncertainty, but its signifi- cation is known to every girl who pos- sesses it, and this is its charm: Any girl who wears a yellow garter above the left knee is sure to be engaged in less than six months. The garter must be given to her by a friend; she must not make or buy it, and it has never been known to fail of its purpose but once, and then the owner was wearing it on the wrong extremity, or vather the right one instead of the left. Just wherein lies its pof to the ethics of the esotericsof girlhood, but the girls all wear them. The slim slips of girls who want to be engaged just for fun, though they aren’t half old enough to be married; the bright, clever girls, as sweet and spicy and wholesome us carnations, who have a career before them, and sy thoy won't marry the best man in the world; the hopeless girls, that have tried every- thing elso, you know,and are ac tomed to failure; the sweet-hearted, womanly girls, who are waiting like Marianna in the moated grange and sighing because *ITe cometh not,” und thie naughty, witching girls who could marry every fellow 1n the market, if they wero not so sort of bewildering that no one quite dares to ask them, and the shy girls who hide the yellow band from their very best friends, and think of it when they sy their praye all waiting for some brave knight of the gurter to help them solve the prob- lem concerning the suecess or failure of the time-honored of institution which is causing 50 much controversy at pres- ent—all weur the yellow garter.

When they appear moist add threé ounces of bruised allspice and one ounce of cinnamon stick bruised. Let this remain on the leaves u week, stirriog them daily from the bottom, says the Detroit Tribune. 'Then put into a permanent jar one ounce of all- spice, and add the stock layer by layer. Sprinkle between the following: One ounce each of cloves and cinnamon, two nutmegs (all coarsely powdered), some ginger root sliced thin, half an ounce of aniseed bruised, ten grains fincst musk, Lalf a pound of freshly dried lavendar flowers, two ounces of powdered orris | root aud ad libitum cologne, rose or | orange lower water, orangs or lemon | belongs ers may be added. Fine extract of any kind will enhance the fragrant odor, while fresh rose leaves. salt and alle spice, made as at first, may be added when convenient. Stir the jar ocoa- sionally, leaving it closed except when the perfume is wished to odorize the room. Delusions of an Empress. The empress of Austria, who is at ‘Wiesbaden, occupies outside the town a villa which is guarded by police agents, and no strangers are allowed to approach it, says the London Star, The empress’ delusion was that King Louis came fo her in the night dripping wet in his shroud, from which there ran a perfect stream of water, which filled the room and threatened to drown her. She would wake in a fright and call for help, saying she was drowning. These hysterics generally ended in a fainting fit, and, singular to add, for some days afterwards the empress appeared to be free from hallucination. On her return to Vienna last year the empross absolutely refused to see her son, the Archduke Rudolf, declaring that he had not paid her proper ro- spect. Shortly afterward the archauke committed suicide, and it became an imperative necessity that the empress should be confined to her own aparte ments, for she was continually repwoache ing herself for causing the death of her son. And now the acute crisis in the empress’ illness has passed, for soften= ing of the brain has set in. peel. Freshly dried violes, tuberoses, clove pinks, or any other scented flow- Women in Trousers. An unusually large number of cases of women passing for men have recently been discovered in Engtand and France, The most remarkable for length of time during which the deception was maintained was that of a person who, during a voyage from France to the island of Jersey, ncted in o strunge manner and finally fell unconscious, A doctor found that although dressed a8 o man it was really & woman. After being sent to a hospital in Jersey she told her sto which was that, at the age of thirteen, she had been left an orphan and had then adopted male clothes, which she had over since worn without discovery. She was fifty-five years old, and had there- fore worn trousers for forty-two years. She had for the eater part of her life pursued the calling of a courier, guid- ing partics of travelers over all parts of Iurope, under the name of Louis Her- man Tobush, She had done weil at the business und had a balance ut her bank= er When she was taken glck on the steamer she wore a fur waisteoat, along overcoat. a stiff hat and a wurned down collar, and smoked a long vipe or'a strong cigar, a8 she chanced to plense, No one had any suspicion she was not a man, Among the witnesses in o recent suit at the Palace of Justice 1n i’aris was & person, apparently # young man, dressed like a student, who was accoms= panied by what seemed to be an clderly gentleman of grave aspect. When the name of Mme, Labert was called the voung man stepped forward. *I beg your pardon,” said the k, *I am wsking for a lady, and not for a young man.” ‘“‘But this young man is my daughter,” explained the sedate gen= tlemun, stepping forward. The clerk decided to let the judge see the witness and setle the matter. The judge told the young woman to go home and put on proper clothes before she appeared to testify. **But I have not a single dress to iny name,” she exclaimed, It turned out that the old Mme. Libert runs a printing office and had for a long time worn male clothing in order tq munage her business better, She wal hringing up her daughter to the sal custom, y
