THEFAIRSTATEOF NEBRASKA. A Eird'e-Eye View of the Resouroes ofa Few Promising Connties, AGRICULTURAL COMMONWEALTH, AN Herds of Fat Stock Where the Buffalo Roamed—Limitless Fields of Grain Hay - Flourishing Cities, Towns and Hamlets, and Brown County. Brown connty, a few yours ago, was known s Stoux or unorganized territory., Tho prairie that was but a few years ago inhab- ited by the wolf and deer, is today dotted with farm houses and happy and industrious homes. 1t is bounded on the cast by Rock, on the north by Keya Paha, on the south by Loup and on the west by Cherry. The F'ro- mont, Elihorn & Missouri Valley road runs through the connty from enst 1o west The fore-runuers of civilization have given way toa better class of husbandmen, who now buliding upon foundations com- § by carlicr pioncers, and who will in nake Lrown county one of tho tive and attractive counties in most prod the state, Brown ¢ ing mills anty is well sunpliod with flour- there being two on Pine creek, which are doiug & lucrative busiaess, and ure located in the castern portion of the count They are driven by water power. Ainsworth, the county seat, has a popula- tion of 1,200, a numbver of brick build- iugs, fine stocks of goods, new roller mill’ of s five barrel ity under course of fot, a large brick court house, and the only creamery io tho county. All trades are well represonted, and there is no lack of good Lotels, A fine systom of water works—the stand-pips system -is in use. “There aro two fine chiurches, Methodist and Congregatioual The Brown County Agricultural society has fine grounds, with fair builuings and &n k, adjoining this pla ety has several aunual exhibitions, which havo been flattering successes, demon- strating the superior qualitications ot Brown county as an agricultural and stock raising county. The prospects of Brown county were never brighter than ut the present time. Deunel County. Deuel countains an area of ahout tw one hundred and thirty-six square miles enty miles north and south aud thirty miles enst and wost. ‘Tho county is drained on the south by the Lodge Pole and South Platte, along the ley of which runs the Union Pacific railroad. “The two priiicipal cities of the county are lo- cated on said road. Big Springs, a beautiful town, is situated in tho south-east corner of the county and surrounded by a splendid az- ricaltural country in the valley of - the South Platte. Chappell, the county seat, is located near the south center, in the beautiful valley of the Lodgo Pole, contains two banks—the Deuel County State bank, organized some two years ago, with Hon. 1. I%. Clavton of Macodonia, Ia., at its head. and the Commer- cial bank, with first class business mon'as its managers, both of which are doing a good business. 1t also contains two church organ- izations and threo civie socictics, ali in Hour- ishing conditions. All lines of business are ropresoted, us s also the press in the Chap- pellRagiator, nder the able management of . P. Morgan. “Through the center of the county from tho northwest to the southeast flows tho North Platte river, which will soon be bridged in two places, the bonds having been voted and the contract let.

Thero is no resort in the wost where sportsmen can have a better time and where came is so plentiful and where tho piscator- ial excursion ean go with such confidence as in north Deuel county. “The North Platte "valley running diaco- nally through tho county from five to seven miles wide is a perfect paradise. The past two years has been a little dry for the cercals and cattle, horses and she:p have been the object of attention and a source of satisfuctory revenue, Thus season has been remarkably good for the farmer. There will be hundreds of tons of hay cut on the divides upon the North Platte and Lodge Pole this season, wherc the “click” of the mower was never heard before. Greeting tho eye from every diroction are flelds of golden grain consisting of wheat, oats, rye and barley of immense growth, the yield per acro of these cereals is variously @stimated at from fifteen to forty bushels per acre, and the corn crop looks equally well where it s been cultivated. Fully eixhty-five per cent ot this region is first-class farm land, and the aay is not far distant when it will be one of the richest parts of Nobraska. In case of dry weather nearly the entire county is susceptiable of irrigzation and while water has not heen needed this season and may not be in the future in_vears to come, the varions ditch companies have completed arrangements by which thoy can flood the county. The Union Pacifie rallvoad company has completed asurvey from North Platto up this valley on to Fort Fetterman, The B & M. running parallel with the county on the north for u distance of thirty miles and on to tho Black Hills, and the main line of the Union Pucific sweeping through the south and to Denver, gives the county the best shipping facilities possible. ontier County, Frontier county, seoms to have beon over- looked, in the general roport. of the state and some may have formed tho idea that there is no Frontior county in this state; but there is, and a big one, which has been bero since we had a state, almost. It was organized many years ugo, when we yet had the Indians wmong us, in an Indian tepee down on the famous Medicine river, famous for its being the homo of Dr. Carver, the great guushot, its tall fine grasses, heavy timber, wood ticks and mosquttoe: Fronticr county is forty-two miles long and twenty-four miles wide, and containes within its bounds' 622,080 acres of land, 75 per cent of which is tllable and snd allis good grass land. The soil isa black loamn of four to seven foot depth. No botter producing soil in the state. Only about ¥5 per cent of the ullable land is undor cultivation today. Tho inhubituuts of the county are mostly of Americun birth, a fow Germans and Scandinuviuns are scattered over the county.

Stanton county is twenty-four miles north and south by eighteen miles east and west. While occupying somo loss aren thau tho average county in Nebrasks, Stanton county has its full share of fertile lands. “Tho county lies about one hundred and twenty-seven miles zorthwest of Ouab the Fremeat, Elighorn and Missouri 3 railvoad, and passing through the center of the county is the famed Elkhorn valley, whoso lands and those lyiug adjacent thereto are attracting the attuntion of the entiro country. Wild lands are still for sale in this county at very low prices, as compared with the prico of lands in the adjoining counties. Good tillavle farm lands can be bought at prices ranging from $5 to 315 per acre, and on easy terms. lmproved lands, of course, sell at a migher figure, but considering the quality of soil and tke general advantages of good markews, they are cheaper than in most parts of the state. Away back in the 70s the crops one year were nearly destroyed by the grasshoppers, Since that tune, how- ever, there has not been a crop failure. When it has been very dry it did not seem to affect the crops to any visiblo extent, and when it_was too wet for crops in many portions of Nebraska still crops wore good with us. CGeneral farming and stock raising are the chief pursuits. As fine cattlo, hogs and sheep ure shipped out of this county us from auy point inthe wost, and stock raisers claim that their steck is freer from disease thau any place they ever raised stock. Our county s practically free from debt and has a goodly supply of buildings. A fine court house and a servicable juml, all paid for, and a good sufficicncy .of roads and bridges, all in excollent condition, £o to show the steady and material progress the county is making.

Although tho story of Switzerland’s push dom has been told ove I over n, it is 50 good & story. and in so ma respocts resembles our own, that at this {mportant opoch in her history it may well 5aV0 bear a brief reiteration. The three cantons of Unterwalden (divided into two unequal sections by the Kernswald, and now known S Obwalden und Nidwalden, or avove and below the wood), Schwytz and Uri wore of the rev- olution which ga Linked together the Vierwald form together of country.

Withal they are simpie in their hab- its, pious and strongly conservative, the pe ple of cach canton possessing characteristics born in them which are sufficiently strong to produce marked differences betwosn thein. "This is shown in o remarkable degree to th day in their fashions in drass. I'rom people such as theso arose the three famed Iidgenos- sen, Walther Furst, Werner Stautacher and Ariiold von Melchthal. Today is not the time to question the truth of the story of William Tell. Truth or fabie, it is a gloriously conceived idea and worthy of the fame which history, song and story has given it. Here is the ' tradition: King Albrocit, son of Kudolph von Havsbure {Hawlk's Mountain), greatly oppressed the three Forest Cantons in the endeavor to 1 duce the peoplo to bondage. He gave b stewarts and lieutenant-governors strict or- ders to keep them well in check, ana as a result they were taxod, fined.imprisoned and othorwise ill-used in a most tyranvical man- ner. Gessler of Schwytz, was ono ot the worst. How he stuck his haton a pole m the market place of Altort in Uri, and com- manded that all passers by should do it rev- ercnce; how Tell passed by and failed to e his hat; how he was seized and as pun- ment was ordered to shoot an apple from head of his sou; how he kept a sccond arrow under his t with the intention of shooting or if he had failed: how Gess- ler had him seized, chained and rowed with him to Axenstein; was caught in a storm from which Tell extricated them, and after- ward aid shoot Gessler in the Kusnach “hol- low way"—have we not all read and ap- plauded a thousand times! Truo or not true, the story illustrates a period during which a high spirited peoplo were establish- ing a confederation, and maintatning it against a powerful enemy; 1t illustrates o long effort to secure emancipation from Habsburg tyranny; it illustrates an epoch which opened with the acquisition of the charter of liberties of Uri and closed with the brilliant victory over tine Austrisns at Mogarten in 1315, The aeath of Rudolf of Habsburg in 1201 was the veal signal for the outburst of patr otism which led to the final declaration. The men of Schwytz undoubtedly took the lead, but ull, dreading new dangers from the new governors, biad to move with the utmost cau- tion. Within two weeks of the death of 1Ru- dolf, Uri, Schwytz and Unterwalden had eu- tered into the Ewiger Bund,or perpetual al ance, which was probably the renewal of some previous pact. Itis also probable that tiey meton the Rutli toswear fealty to this al- liatice, and hence it is that the celebrauts date their independence from that time. At an) rate it is n that the various acts of the agroement were then drawn up in Latin—the Magna Chartaof the Eidgenossenschaft —and the document is treasured up to this day in Schwytz, and is held in the decpest vener: tion by the whole Swiss nation. Among its enactments it enjons that every ono shall obey and serve Lis master according to his standing; that no judge shall be appointed who has bought his office with gold, nor un- less he bo a native; thav 1f quarrels shail arise between the Iidgenossen, the more sen- swlesiall settle the difference, and if ono party does not submit, the opposition shall decide the matter. Tlo frecdom of the country was finally reached at the famous battle of Morgarten. The antagonism of the Forest Cantons to Frederick of Austria, who suceceeded Albrecht, so enraged that monarch that he determined to wipe out the recalcitrant Waldmen, He deputed his brother, Duko Leopold, to do the business. That doughty warrlor, superciliously regurding the mou taineers as mere peasants, took hardly any precautions ngainst surprise, marched with a nastily gathered army which closely re- sembled a bunting party (they actually car- vied with them a supply of ropes with which to fasten the cattle they expected to seize) right into the mountain fastuesses of tho foe. Very soon they became hemmed in by luke and mountain on the steep and frozen slopes of Morgarten, when without a warning cry of any kind there came down from the pré- cipicés on every side upon the dexsely massed borsemen, huge boulders, jagged piedbs of rock and trungs of trees. They had been hurled down by a handful of men posted on the mountain ridge, aud dive confusion fol- lowed the unexpectod onslaught. Almost immediately upon this _avalanche, ~before Leopold had time to recover, a band of wountuineers and hillsiders rushed down tne bl upon the territied and vewildered Austrians and mowed down all before them wWith their terrible halberds, The ®out wus decisive. The number of the killed has nov. been computed, but the vietory of Margarton, which hus often been callod the Swiss Thermopliv, confirmed the national spirit of resistance to the Habsburg rule, and de- termined the work which the three origial Eidgenossen had beguu. The oldest republic in the world, once amoug thoe most aggrossive aud pugndcious of IEuropean natious, hus now' become a land of peace, who deems it part of her mission of neutrality to promote the general peuce and welfare of the world as far as it lies in her power.
