The Havelock people, members of the commis- ( sion belleve to have made a showing which probably justifies them in their applica- tion for a lower rate, while at the same time the earnings of the company shows that it there is a reduction on this line they will be entitled to increase rates in| the city proper. So as the mateer now stands it looks like an Increase in rates or a decrease In occupation tax. Some of the people now belleve that it would be to the interest of thé city if the occupation tax should be abolished and the traction company be required to put that much money in betterments and in better service and in cheaper fares.

They began using Postum and Grape- Nuts food Bhe say “For & number of years I suffered with stomach and bowel trouble which kept getting worse until I was very ill most of the time. About four yoars ago I left off coffes and began taking Postum. My stomach and bowels fim- proved right along, but I was so reduced in flesh and so nervous that the least thing would overcome me, “Then 1 changed my food and began using Grape-Nuts in addition to Postum.

When LOOKING BACKWARD TO '54-5 Interesting Five ana Fifty Years Ago. Leaning on & stout crutch and a heavy cane, Jeremiah Dee, one of the earliest ploneers, was seen making his feeble way to the polls Tuesday, primary day In South Omaha, exercising, to him, & far more sacred duty than it appeared to be on the part of some score of younger men Who watched the old man's progress. Fortunately the polling place was only a step from his residence or in the multi- plied infirmities of his body the old man could not have made the trip unassisted As It was, on his return, his steps became 80 wavering that a friend joined him with a kindly offer. “Oh, no,” sald the ploneer, “I'll make it all right, but I have to take it a bit slow. Walk right in and rest a while. You ses, I'm keeping batch now, as I have been since my wite died several years ago. So it was that & conversation glowing in the light of the good old times started in the humble cottage of one of the most unique and interesting characters in South Omaha; one of those men whose recol- lections 1f clearly preserved would make an invaluable record In the history of the state. Feeble as was the physical strength of the old man's limbs, there was not such halting in the sweep of his cheery memory. People and places came from the past for him with startling distinctness and he spoke of events of 1854 as If they were the events of /yesterday. In a brief half hour the interim was bridged and woven with many & strand of the old man's humor. Beginnings of Omaha. “In 185, when I came to Nebraska, the country was absolutely wild, for you know that was the year when the Nebraska ter- ritory was opened to settlement. Omaha was then a small village under the wing of the Transmissourl military post, and took its name from the Omaha tribe of Indians, which had its headquarters at Bellevue, where the old mission stood for 50 many years. I was attracted here by a letter from a cousin of mine, who, with a party of friends, had traveled through Towa in search of land. When they ar- rived at Council Bluffs they learned that the Nebraska territory had been opened to settlement, and this cousin wrote me. I being then at New Albany, Ind. As soon as possible I got up an outfit and started west. We came by way of the Ohfo river to Cairo, then by the Mis- siasippl to St. Louls, and from there to St. Joseph. The rest of the journey was made by teams. I was only 22 years old when 1 came to Omaha, on November 4, and 1 aid not have much idea what I should do in the west. I spent about three years in and about Omaha. On one of my trips to St. Joseph 1 brought up the trunks of Father Emonds and a Methodist preacher, who were among the first gentlemen of the cloth to arrive in Omaha. The preacher and the priest came by stage. I charged them nothing for the bringing of their baggage; but the priest reciprocated on May 17, 185, when I was married to Miss Julla_Cassidy. v A Bit of Catholic Church History. Mr. Dee fixes May 20 as the date when the first mass was celebrated by Father Emonds in Omaha, the Sunday following his marriage by the same priest in Council Bluffs. A few days after that event, on May 3, the Catholles of Omaha secured ground at the corner of Eighth and How- ard streets for a church. “It was called St. Mary’s then and never by any other name,” sald Mr. Dee, referring to Father Emonds' register in Councll Bluffs which gives the name, “St. Patrick's church, Omaha City.” “No, the work did not stop on the church. After getting the ground we had to hustle for the money. That was no small job in those days. Why, cotton- Wwood lumber cost $§ a hundred and was scarce at that. Father Trecy, who started the church at St. John's (now Jackson, Dakota county), beat: Omaha, because he brought a sawmill from Towa and got his lumber near by. I hauled the first load of stone for the foundation of St. Mary's, and it lald on the ground for months before we had enough money to go ahead. So the work of bullding didn't begin until the spring of '66. Freighting and Town Sites. “I remember something ahout the frelghters of the early days. I did some trelghting with my own teams between Omaha and Denver. I often fell in with the big freighters, Majors and Russell of Nebraska City and Plattsmouth. In all my ventures I never had any trouble with the Indians, although the other freighters had brushes with them at times. ““There were events of the frontler which I recall. I helped lay out the site of the clty of Fremont, and I remember the In- dian outbreak on the Elkhorn, and how it started. A band of settlers had taken up ranches on the Elkhorn and one day when the men had all gone a troupe of thieving Indlans came in and tried to ransack the houses. One woman resisted them and they stabbed her through the thigh with an arrow. When the ranchers returned they raided some of the Indian camps in retallation, and the trouble began, This was in 159, and that was when I first heard of General J. M. Thayer. He was leader of a detachment of several volun- teer companies who went out to put down the Indlan trouble. Captain Moore organ- ized a company in Omaha. They spent several weeks on the frontier and had a few battles with the Indlans. It was there that General Thayer earned his rank colonel. When the civil war broke out Colonel Thayer organized several regi- ments of volunteers. Captaln Moore, how- ever, went south and joined the confed- erate army. I never heard of him after that. The Mormon Exodus, “I remember something about the Mor- mons and the time when the expedition was outfitted to put down the Utah in- surrection. There is nothing so obstinate or so misgulded as religlous fanaticlsm. 1 always credit a good friend of mine with & good story about the Mormons and thelr ways. A Mormon came to him one morn- ing and said, ‘The Lord appeared to me and sald you must glve me a cow.' ‘When did you talk to the Lord? sald my friend. ‘Last night' sald the Mormon. ‘Well,' sald my friend, ‘I talked to the Lord this morning and He said 1 should give you & d—n good kicking.' I think he did it. “Atter I was through freighting I took up & pre-emption on Balt creek near the town of Ashland In 1867. We did not have homesteads here in those days. L 1 returned to Omaha and was elected street commissioner of Omaha in 1871 Since that time I have been a resident of Douglas county most of the time. “I am the father of twelye children, of whom eight are still living.
