SUPERIOR AND HER PEOPLE Bomething Abont the Busy Oity Where the 01d Veterans Are Encamped. FUTURE GREAT OF THE REPUBLICAN VALLEY No Cry of Hard Times Henrd Thore—fow the O1d And Young Soldiers and Sight- soers Are WMaking Fathor Time Hastle, Surenion, Neb, Aug. 1.—[Specialto Tnr Bre.|—Superior is a lively and bustling littlo city under any and all circumstances, but is outdoing herself just now on the occasion of the interstate reunion of the Grand Army of the Republic and National guard of this stato and Kansus. . This reunion soems to be not alone one of battle-scarred voterans of the war and their equally ambitious and patriotic successors, the state militia, but a grand family gather- ing of the sturdy yeomanry of the whole surrounding country as well. This 18 proba- biyone of the richest agricultural and stock- raising scctions of the state, and the town of Superior certainly has a splendid future before it. It is suverbly located in tho luxuriant vally of the Ropublioan, with its broad stroets systematically Iald out, its substan- tial and modern business structures. its handsome and cozy residences, flourishing industrial entorprises, immenss cattle in- torests and limitloss agricultural resources, and its establishment at this happy Junc- tion some sixteon years ago shows that its founders wero not insensible to its manifold advantages. It is a marvelous fact that while the pioneers who selected the sito”for this flourishine little city choso it solely on account of what they belie A to be its promising agricultural faciiities, it - has proved an equally fitting home for the manu- facturer aud stock dealer. View it either from a utilitarian or agricultural standpoint Superior is an 1deal western town. t and south of it flows the beau- tiful Republican, fit subject for” painter or poot; here are measurcless pasture lands and flolds of corn and wheat and oats that resemblo worlds within themselves, A nat- ural gate Ay botween two great stato: it also lies in the very center of the most tecund portion of theland; surrounding all directions aro rich loams for the farme and fino cluy for tho potter or the brick- maker; boundless meadows and attractive picturesquo. valieys, rolling prairies; es for stock, plenty of water and es of timber for shade; deep blue skies for tho scientist and yellowing grain for tho toilers ; none can view all these rich and for- tile fislds without becoming enraptured. Like all embryotic western towns, Superior has had to struggle, but the past is now looked upon &8 a triumph and the present a contfiued offort for greater suce s, and there can be but one futur the town is bound to take rank with the best in the stato. The broad plateau of the growing town makes it u fiuo railroad center and no less than seven differznt lines meot hore, Just op- posite the oncampment, within the ‘space of 8 couple of hundred yards. Most of tho traffic from north to south passes through Superior, which is the great central market for the rich Republican valley. The Kunsas line is Just one mile soutn,and Jewell county, justover the boundary, has fo: five years, 5o statistics show, stood first of all counties in the state in corn, cattle and hogs. But the citizens of this fine region will not rest con- tent with their grain and their stock, but are paying much attention to the develop- ment of manufacturing indusvries, and can alrendy muko » most creditable showing with the Supetior roller mills, good as there is in the state, and pressed brick fac- tory, owned and operated by the Gutheries; a large now starch factory, under the supor intendency of C. Cochran, one of the Kings- ford’s oldest men; two flourishing brick yards, and one of the largest creameries and cold storage establishments in Nebraska, flurd Times Unknown. There is no lamentation over hard times here. C. . Adams, cashier of the Firsy National bank, told mo this morning that times hud never scemed bettor or more pros- perous here; there was plenty of money and collections through tho banks<have boen eusior than at any time within a period of half a decade. Ho nlso said that tho town makes a remarkable showing both in trado and production. During the past year there hias been an incroase in_the valué raceived and shipped, in capital invested in manufac: tures, in the yalue of manufactured products, and in the number of workmen engaged in the various industrics. Ho also thinks that from the incomparable location of Superior, its natural advantages of agri- culture, stock ana trade, its network of railroads, reaching out into tho state in every direction, and tho enterprising char- acter of its business men, have greatly expanded the territory controiled by tho business of the town, until Superior will In time bo reprasonted in trado all over the stato. In all this A. J. Briggs. presidont of the Bank of Superior, concurred. Of course both gentlomen aro very enthusiastic, but not inclined to be ex- aggerative. Mr. Briggs, in addivion to his bank interests, is & woll kaown stockman and is particularly proud of bis horses, Ho is the secrotary of the State Breeders associa- tion, whose annual moeting opens up ot the driving park in Omaha next week, and is an enterprising and thorough going business man in every essentinl detail, Just west of the big camp is the famous rauch of ex-Speaker of the House Kiefer, which strotches away up tho Rapublican valley to the extent of 6,000 acre nificent ranch, tenanted a pre head of steers, itan, n 6,000 owned by the Su- perior Cattle company, now fattening somo 1,000 hoad for the fall market ; the Schmel hng Brothers are also big cattlo dealers and L, N. Beal owns an oxtensive ranch just oast of the town. A, C. MeCorkle is anothor large stock dealdy, with not only big interests here. but also in Colorado ind Wyoming, The Werdon Brothers, the Hannas and se eral othors are also doep in the cattlo trado, Outside of Omaha, Suporior 13 the biggest cattle markot in Nobraska, Making Camp Lineoln um, Colouel Adams, commander of Camp Lin- coln, was quite right.” He said that the crowd wculd be here in carnest today. While all the military expected have not yoi arrived, the people of tho surrounding country seem to have about all auswered to roll call and the attendance aggrecates way up into tho thousands, and still they come, Up to noon all but afow of the 600 tents woro oceupied and many additional ones put up, individuul parties in many instances bring- ing and picching their own, and from tho sunrise Lo the sunset gun the camp has pro- sented the appearance of some fair, Adjutant Goneral Gage srvived at noon, He whs mot at tho depot by several nundrod of the Grand Army boys and with martial music escorted to the grounds, whero he was welcomed with silute of thirteen wuns and , other soldierly honors. The general * would nov oven walt to regalo himself with refreshments, but like an 0l soldier pitched right in, and within an hour had his snug quarters wrectod immediately in frout of the quartor: mastor's pavilion, Church Howo and Governor Crounse also arrived and were royally received, and Gen- eral Thuyer will be in on the morning train, Addresses Durlng the Duy, This afternoon Colonel Thomas Schuler of White Rock delivered an address of wel pome, the stand being surrounded by possi- bly 8,000 old veterans, military men, women and children. The colonel was eloquent to o tlogroe, especially 80 when address {u. his old comrades of G165, owing the colon the governol i secretary and a man with countless frieuds in this vicinity, deliy- ered a sounding address, as did also Colonel 0. H. Coulter, editor of the Western Veteran of Kansas City. There were numerous short addresses by old soldlers, songs and wusic and a regular love feast, in which thousanas took part. This evening a big camp fire s being hold, presided over by that general and mastor prit G [anback, who knows just fully appre- ciates that thess yearly gatherings are for the purpose of renewing old friendships, of talking over the famous old times in the bivouac, the long and arduous tramps by night and by day, and_recounting the thrilling _oxperfences in skirmish and battle. Thera was much said and done last night in merriment, but a good deal of vehe- menco and oarnesticss was manifest when the discussion of Hoke Smith and his on- siaught on the pensioners of the war was taken up, In K wt on Hoke Smith, 1t was a good thing for Hoke that ho was neither within ear nor gunshot. There is an intense feeling among the old veverans, let them be republicans, democrats or populists, and it is quito probable that the Girand Army of tho Republic will yet make itself loudiy folt arid heard on this subject. 1t was not until midnight that the camp fire embers were deserted, each veteran scem- ing loth to part from his comrade even for tho short interval that intervenes beforo the dawning of the tomorrow. But finally the sound of the speaker's voicd died away all laughter and mirth ceased and only the footfal) of the guard as he paced his lonely beat disturbed the deep hours of the morn ing. s 1% Under the Tents, Th encampment prosents an_exhilarating appearance this morning, indeed, and ol vets, militiamen and cadets are in high cather. Al morning conveyances of every imaginable description havo been converg- ing here, and to put the crowd at 5,000 would be a moderate ostimato, very tent is occupied and many people have caniped in the open air. All of the incoming trains to have brought their freightage of illustrious persons. Among the arri were Hon, Church Howe, Hon. W. Androws, Colonel Thomas 'Shuler, scnior vice commagder; Colonel Pond, junior vien commandor; Yaptain Lyon, with company Hof tho Second regiment. and scores and scores of others, Tho balloon ascension of Prof. Shekler last evening was an entertain- ment much enjoyed by the big crowd. There was lots of sport at the encampment last night, the old soldiers endeavoring to aeain live over the stirring days that tried men’s souls, They gathered about the blazing campfire, and with song and story consumed much of tho evening. There was plenty of music and noise, but no speech- malting, unless the ancedotes and recountals of General Hanback can bo stylod speeches, He was incessantly the center of an inter- estod and hilarious crowd, and as a_story teller carries off the luurels of the camp. He is one of the old vets' favorites. Just Had Their Uwn Way. The big crowd today was bent upon having a hurrah time for all it was worth, aud the camp was the scene of joyous turmoil all day. The soldiors drilled and marched and paraded; laughed, chatted and joked; the country laa and his best girl giggled and shricked as they dashed 'round and ‘round on the mervy-go-round’s wooden equines; the fife and drum corps filled the air with mar- tial strains, the band blew its brains out and Young America made a Fourth of July out of affairs goner nics may growl, as they always hive, about the sens iess character of Young America's explosive method of celebration, and the utilitarian philosopher may argue, as he always has, that it is a shocking wasto of powder to no purpose, that it murders all thought, un- strings the nerves, and should be prohibited by foree, but Young America will swim along for all time in the same old channel mapped out for him 100 years or move ago by the great and tho ool John Aduws, the man who did more to securc the passage of the deslaration that Thomas Jofferson framed than any other member of the coutinental congress, And over it all floated the old flag in the soft summer winds. In fact there were flags everywhere, on the tents, the fence posts, hooth tops ‘and even in the slouch hats ot the Grand Army men, and the button holes in the lavels of their faded blue blouses, The sight was an enlivening one, as well as pathetic. But this is no time for moraliziug; instead ot the band play on; let the urchins shoot and yelp; lot lovers ride toy horses; let the drummer beat his arum and the fifer blow his fife, and let all of us look upon and honor forevermore the flag of Washington, of Adams and Jefferson, of Lincolu, Logau, ‘Thomas and Grant, and a million and one heroes and ' patriots, sainted®] and unsainted, with every show of loyalty and pride, with ~proud and joyful'hearts; for the bravest, the best and noblest man’ on is he who saved it from the dust and disgrace—the blue-coated soldier. These b his days, so let us all join in rejoicing unalloyed with him, as a token of our appreciation of what he did for the flag we love so dearly. 0w the Week Wil End.

Soon after the burning of the records they foreclosed the mortirage and took the book: The citizons of Harvey were wild with ex- citement for a while, us the reccrds wero not thore to show who owned either property or mortgages, and cvery man or woman who wanted to convey a pioce of property wa compelied to pay $10 for every transfer to Shirley and Rogers.

D, Aug. 1.—[Speclal to Tur Bre.|~The authorities at Rosebud agency have sent a dotail of Indian polico to the northern border of the resorvation o patrol the country along Whito river ana vrevent cattle belonging to white stockmon straying to the Indian lands. The police, who are mounted, will carefully watch the entire border, keoping a constant lookout and turning back any cattlo that may at- tempt to got across the river to tho reserya- ton. Herotoforo it has boen the practico o somo of the stockmen to kive portions of their herds into the charge of Indians to be herded on the Indian lands, but the govern- ment has recently determiod to put a stop to this practico. Accordingly all cattla found on tho rescrvation and which bolong t the stockmon huving ranges along the border, will bo either confiscated or driven to the north side of tho stream, off the resorvation ‘T'his dotermination on the part of the government will result disastrously to the schomos of some of tho cattlomen. During former yoars some of theso mon havo given large hords of theie cattlo into the charge of Indians, who would herd them on tho reser- vation, giving it out that the cattle belonged to them. The government s doing overy thing possiblo to encourage the Indians in farming and stockraising, and the agency authoritios are authorized to buy from the Indinns all surolus cattle, paying the very highest price for them. Thus an Inaian who has been given charge of a large hend of cattle belonging to some of the stookmen near the reservation would bo enabled to turn in large numbers of eattlo at frequent intorvals. ~ Upon receiving pay for them tho Indian would at once turn the proceeds of the salo over to the white stockman to who: the cattle really belonged, rotaining a co tain per cont as payment Mr his own troublo in caring for the cattle up to the time of selling them to the government. ludian Aeent Brown, who has just retired from the management of Pine Ridgo agency, deserves tho credit for unearthing this shrewd scheme, and it was owing to his efforts that the practico has now b stopped. By his orders all the cattle which werc in chargo of Indians on the Pine Ridge reservation, but which bolongod to white stockmen, have during the past few months, been driven off the Indian lands. This nat- uraily aroused the enmity of the cattlomen, but they must mako the best of it. Hero: after the ranges on the reservations will bo kept solely for tho herding of cattle bolong- ing to the Iudians.
