NBEW YORK, June 18—~On the heels of the reception to Theodore Roosevelt today came the deluge. Two hours after the parade that escorted him up Fifth avenue had disbanded the whole metropolitan district was swept by the most violent storm in months. In twenty minutes six-tenths of an Inch of rain fell, while the wind at times attained a velocity of fifty-elght miles an hour. Three deaths were reported early tonight, four other persons are belleved to have been drowned in the capsizing of a fishing smack off Long Island, while scores of others had narrow escapes. Base ball games were abandoned, for a while panic threatened tents of a circus showing in the upper part of the city. The storm broke almost without warning, preceded by a gust of wind that uprooted trees and sent street signs flying. Then came the downpour, almost a cloudburst violence. In a moment streets were flooded and the crowds still lingering down town were soaked and bedraggled. For an hour and a half the storm continued ,caus- ing great damage. Racegoers at Sheepshead Bay were nearly thrown into a panic when they saw a bolt of lightning demolish the jockeys' board and plow a furrow 100 feet long through the earth. In Brooklyn, Frank Ross was instantly killed by an uprooted tree. Another tree in Flushing, L. L, was struck by lightning and Jullus Joska, who had sought refuge under its branches, was Kkilled. Only the coolness of performers and em- ployes of the Forepaugh & Salls Bros.’ circus prevented a panic in the tents spread on Manhattan fleld. Another vietim of the wind was Mrs. Elizabeth Gerhardt, 45 years old, of Brook- lyn. She was In a rowboat on Jamaica bay with her husband and two other men, when a squall overturned the cockleshell The woman could not swim and drowned before her companions could reach her. John Dick was struck by a falling pleee of plate-glass in Brooklyn and died of his in- jurles tonight. No Plans Made for Busting Up Trusts and Frank Kellogg Confers with Roose- velt, but Merely Discusses Matters of Mutual Interest. NEW YORK, June 19.—(Speclal gram.)—*Trust-buster” of St. Paul was a fellow passenger of Colonel Roosevelt's ‘on the Kaiserin Auguste Victoria. They had many con- ferences on the voyage over. Indeed, Colonel Roosevelt appeared more intimate with the “trust buster” than with any other of the passengers. “Plans, plans, we made no plans,” said Mr. Kellogg tonight. “We merely dis- cussed the things in which we are mutually interested.” WEDDING OF GERMAN "COUPLE MOST ELABORATE Largest One Held in Shelby County Celebrated After Fashion of Southern Germany. HARLAN, Ja., June 18.—(Speclal)—The largest wedding ever held in Shelby county was held yesterday when Miss Anna Book and Mr. Carl Lutticke, prominent young people of Westphalia township were united in marriage at St. Boniface's Roman Cath- olic church at o'clock, Rev, Father Brommenschenkel, the parish priest, cele- brating the mass and saying the cere- mony, The couple were attended by Miss Dora Book, sister of the bride, and Joseph Schmitz, as bridesmald and groomsman. After the ceremony the wedded palr, the relatives and the invited guests repaired to the home of the bride’s parents in West- phalla township where a largely attended reception was tendered the wedded palr, and an all-day and much of the night sea- son of merry-making was had, after the manner of such occasions in the original home jof the older people in southern Germaloy. From 160 to 200 families had been in- vited and almost all of them accepted the invitation, More than 1,00 people called during the day and spent considerable time in participating in the feast and the amuse- ments provided for them. Dinner was served from 12 o'clock until 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Three large tables were set in the house and two in a large tent outside. Covers were lald 5o that nearly 200 people could be served at one time. During the meal 300 pounds of beef were served, fourteen hams, 100 pounds “wienes,” 100 pounds of bologna, 200 ples, 2,000 buns, fifty loaves of rye bread, 100 cakes, fifteen bushels of potatoes, be- sides & large quantity of miscellancous relishes. A large dancing pavillion was built and here the young people danced during the day and evening. Upon another part of the grounds & bowling alley had been erected, and many found amusement there, SENATE GETS LORIMER CASE Committee on Privileges and Elec- tione to Investigate Cha ot bery.

ALBERT WATKINS ON SUBJECT I Eminent Histo es Information n Points that Are Not Definitely Estab- lished by Records. Concerning Ce LINCOLN, Neb,, June 3.—To the Editor of The Bee: Prof. Munsterberg and other peychologists have been at great pains of late to prove and lllustrate the unrelia- bility of human observation and testi- mony. The Incidents of frontier history are, for obvious reasons, peculiarly liable to this inaccuracy; and because but little critical examination has been given to the carly history of Nebraska, many of the most important events attributed to it are elther wholly apocryphal or materally ap- prehended. As a matter of course, then, some mis- statements of this sort crept into the very enterprising story of early Nebraska his- tory, which was printed in The Bee. The approaching centennial anniversary will af- ford a much needed opportunity to give a corrected version, so far as may be, of these early events; and the preliminary dis- cussions of the subject of the celebration also offer such an opportunity, because they are read with unusual attention. The State Historical society has lately been giving particular attention to the collection of facts relating to the early history of the Nebraska country and to thelr careful au- thentication; and it is in pursuance of this object that I, representing the soclety, am submitting this communication. Why the Whites Came. It is generally known that the first white people who came to Nebraska were here for the purpose of exploring, trapping and trading with Indians. These operations were first conducted, so far as we know, along the lower Missouri river, but grad- ually extended to its upper aters and to its contluents. Probably we shall some time gain much more accurate information about this early occupancy than we now have. We know, however, that the Lewls and Clark expedition found all along the Missouri river varlous places with French names which seemed to have been firmly fixed. In the eighteenth century the French were very bold and enterprising explorers and colonists in the upper lake and Mississippi region, and it appears that they were familiar with the Missour! valley also, though they apparently had no fixed posts or settlements there. They had regu- lar trading posts along the lower part of the river. From the time of the Lewis and Clark ex- pedition our knowledge of this occupancy of the shores of the Missouri becomes more definite and accurate. That great expedi- tion naturally gave a fresh impetus to the enterprise of the traders and trappers whose base of operations was at St. Louls, at this time a French town with a popu- lation of from 1,000 to 2,000 Soon after the expedition :arge companies were formed to carry on the fur trade whereas, before this time, it had been conducted in the main by individuals or smaller partnerships. The two greatest of these companies were John Jacob Astor's American Fur company and the Missouri Fur company which for twelve years was dominated by Manuel Lisa, a very remarkable citizen of St. Louis. These companies were organized in the same year, 1505. Astor had already be- come a great—probably the greatest— fig- ure in the fur trade in the United States. In 1810 he formed the Pacific Fur company, and intended to operate in the northwest and particularly to gain control of the Columbla river country. Winter of 1810, In the fall of 1810, the Pacific Fur com- pany sent out its expedition, composed of the most notable trappers and traders of the Mississippi valley. It was stopped by ice on its way up the Mississippi river at a point a little above the site of the present city of St. Joseph and spent the winter in a camp on the Nodaway rivers, near its mouth. It made its real start from this camp April 21, 181 On April 28, the party camped on the Iowa side nearly opposite the site, which afterward came to bo known as Bellevue. While Astor's American Fur compeny was giving particular attention to tho Oregon country, Lisa’s Missourl Fur com- pany established itself on the Missouri river above and below the Platte; so that, while we do not know accurately when the Missour! Fur company first established it- self along the present Nebraska shore line, it began its operations there before the American Fur company. The nelghbor- hood of the Councll Bluff of Lewis and Clark was In those earlier years the tavorite place for the posts of the traders, and in or near the year 1812, Manuel Lisa established the first post of a permanent character five miles and a half below the Bluff and some twelve miles above the present city of Omaha. We do not know when the fur traders first established themselves on the site of Bellevue, but it is improbable that there was & post/there or very near when the Astor expedition went up in 1811 All we can say is that in the early part of this century—the 19th— traders and trappers established them- selves quite promiscuously and without permanency at many points along the shore line of Nebraska above the mouth of the Platte. Settlement at Bellevue. While it may be fairly sald that the first white settlement in Nebraska was made at Bellevue, yet it is inaccurate to say that this settlement was established at any par- ticular time. Bellevue was & growth, not a crehtion, Moreover, it is not known when it first came to be called by that name. Substantial and permanent trading posts were established there by the principal companies between 1820 and 1530, and the seat of the Indian agency for the local er domestic tribes was moved from Council Bluffs to Fort Atkinson to Bellevue some time during that period. These two events were the main contributors to the founding of Bellevue and marked its permanency as a white settiement. The statement has been many times repeated that the Ameri- can Fur company established a station at Bellevue in 1810, but no authority has yet been glven for it. The treaties concluded with the Omaha and Oto and Missouri Indians in March, 1864, whereby those tribes ceded their lands to the United States, were the beginning o fthe end of Bellevue; for as a result of the treaties, the Omaha were removed to the reservation they now occupy, and the Oto and Missourl to a reservation on the Big Blue river. As a result of the removal Bellevue naturally lost the agency of these tribes and of the Pawnee (In 185 and 1867) and the cholce of Omaha as the capital of thé territory In the early part of 18565, completed its undoing. ‘‘Bellevuen” was organized as & municipality hy authority of the first legislature—March 15, 1854 though the first postoffice in the territory was established there January 15, 1855 under the orthedox sepelling, Bellevue. The first postoffice at Omaha was established May 6 of the same year. It is frequently stated that a postoffice was established in Bellevue in 186, but this is incorrect. An office called Nebraska was established in that year at the place commonly known as Trader's Polns, situated Jusk acrss the T ¥ river in Towa, nearly opposite Bellevue. 1t was placed on the east side of the river and at a less important point than Belevue presumably because the territory on the| Nebraska side had not yet b ceded by | the Indlans to the United State led Council Bluffs. This Nebraska-in-Towa was really a| proxy of Bellevue or Council Bluffs, and | the greater part of its business originated | at the busy Nebraska post. Both the bor- rowed name and the close proximity of the lowa adjunct suggest he importance of its principal. Bellevue was always called Council Bluffs or Council Bluffs Agency in the reports of | the Indlan and other federal officers until the agency of the Omaha, the Otoe and Missourl, and the Pawnee Indians was re- moved—in 1866-67. The name of “Nebraska postoffice was changed to Council Bluffs in 1850; this name was in turn changed to Trader's Point in 1852. The office was fin- ally discontinued December 15, 1554, because | the territorial organization of Nebraska had made way for a postotfice at Bellevue, and Kaneville, which took the name Coun- cil Bluffs when Trader's Point lost it In 1852, had superseded the ferry landing in importance Bellevue was never the capital of Ne- braska and no preliminary legal steps were taken to make it 80. Acting Governor Cum- Ing took the first step toward establishing the capital of this commonwealth by calling the first legislature to convene at Omaha, and that body took the final step by declar- ing Omaha to be the permanent capital. The year 1810 was a very important and slgnificant one to the Nebraska country. Astorians, whose great expedition was or- ganized in that year, discovered and tra ersed the great part of the Oregon trail on thelr return fro mthe Columbia river in 1812-13. This very remarkable explora- tion stimulated, if it did not cause, the movement which colonized the Oregon country with Americans, in antagonism to the British invaston, and finally secured it to the United States. The story of the ev- olution of the great highway, which tra ersed Nebraska and discovered its interior to the world, Is very fascinating. The trail was practically opened and used by the fur traders nearly twenty years before the great tide of Oregon emmigration, which gave It its name, set in, in 1842. The 24 of June, the date of the organi- zatlon of the aPelfic Fur company, is there- fore very properly chosen for the centen- nial celebration of the beginning of Ne- braska. No doubt a great deal of very in- teresting and instructive information about that momentous epoch will be heard at the celebration. ALBERT WATKINS, Watkins an Authority. Mr. Watkins s a recognized authority on the history of Nebraska, having succeeded the late J. Sterling Morton as editor-in- chief of the most exhaustive and authorita- tive work we have on the subject, “Mor- ton’s History of Nebraska." It is there- fore of Interest to compare Mr. Watkins, as editor of the history mentloned, with Mr. Watkins, as challenger of the accuracy of the statements made in the article printed in The Bee In regard to Bellevue and the early settlement of Nebraska. The chief points in The Bee's story which are questioned by Mr. Watkins are briefly summed up as follows: That the Astor station was not estab- lished at Bellevue in 1810—that the date of such is @ atter of doubt. (See Page 7, Morton's History of Nebraska, wherein it is stated that the Pacific Fur company (Astor's) was organized in 1810.) That Manuel de Lisa's appearance at Bellevnue is & matter of uncertain date, and that there is no definite knowledge as to theo rigin of the name of Bellevue. (See page 64, Morton's History of Nebraska, whereln it is stated that tradition is to the effect that Mamuel de Lisa reached Bellevue in 1905 &wd ‘that he gave the palce its present name.) That Bellevue was never the capital of Nebraska. (Ses page 163, Morton's History of Nebraska, which says, quoting a letter from Armistead Burt, son of Governor Burt: “The governor's intention was to convene the first legislature at Bellevue. As to locating the capital I heard him say that he wanted to choose a place that would be the permanent seat of govern- ment.”” Also see page 178, Morton's History of Nebraska, where the following para- graph occurs: “When the first governor arrived in this territory, he found only one place entitled to the name of village, even, anywhere north of the Platte river. The town of Bellevue, the first townsite north of the Platte, was the place where it was known he Intended to locate the capital.”) This is substantially an extract from an extended discussion of the capital question, and while it is true that the first session of the legislature was held in Omaha, as stated not only in Nebraska histories, but also by The Bee in its Belle- vue article, Governor Burt, according to all historical authorities, considered Belle- vue the seat of government during his very briet reign. Although other reference works were used to some extent, the main dependence of The Bee In its Bellevue story was Mor- ton's History of Nebraska. While, accord- ing to history, the Astor fur station may not have been in actual operation at Belle- vue in 1810, all histories agree that it was organized in that year—hence the fitness of holding the Bellevue centennial in 1910, HOMESTEADERS IN TROUBLE Settlers Report that Cattlemen Made Spite Deal for School Distriet, Homesteaders of Cherry county want to kuow who signed the application for a school district which takes the school from the part of the county In which the set- tlers have made their homes. They claim it was only a further attempt on the part of certain cattlemen who have been mak- ing things disagreeable for them ever since they took up thelr homesteads, to drive them from the county. Charles Harms, of Survey, Neb., was in Omaha Saturday morning and he told how the settlers wero oppressed. The settle- ment lles near the southeast corner of the county, As soon as the settlers became firmly established thelr first consideration was & school district for the education of thelr children. A district was mapped out six miles square. While the settlers were working on thelr district another district was map- ped out and applied for, extending about fifteen miles north of the lit- tle settlement and taking In just one mile of the district marked out by the settlers. Also it was the plan of the ap- plicants for the new dlstrict to place the school about ten miles from the settle- ment. Nothing can be done in the matter until tall, as the school law does not provide for the creation of school districts during the summer months. Mr. Harms will stop in Lircoln on his return to Cherry county and will take the matter up with the state superintendent. ——— Comserva Na Tesources Applies as well 40 OUr physical state 88 to material things.
