Nebraska, the Homestead State

Within five years ending
with June, 1872, more than
two-and-a'half million (2,561,-
1867 acres were homesteaded
in Nebraska. This area was
more than one tenth OF all the
acres taken up as homesteads
during twice that number of
years IN all the Union, namely,
25,173369. Up 10 1868, Min.
nesota-and Minnesota alone
was a greater favorite than
Nebraska with homesteaders.
This preference may have re.
suited from Nebraska's being
supposed liable to droughtS-
or from its fertility not having
been fully proved-or from
the speedy completion of the
transcontinental railroad not
being certain. But every year
since 1868, Nebraska has been
the honesteader's first choice.
Within four years Of that date
the Nebraska acres homestead
ed out numbered those thus
taken In Minnesota by almost
600, ,000-in exact figures, $780,.

Multitudes Of Nebraska
homesteaders took up farms,
with which they had fallen in
love as they passed, west OF
the Missouri, treighting to
Pixies Peak, or Salt Lake, or
overland to California, or build.
ing the Union Pacific Railroad.
The moment their occupation
as ireighters was gone, they
were ready to begin as farm
ers. The American Desert
bug-bear had no terrors for
them. They had seen the soil
to be proof against both
drought and deluge-unsur-
passed in its yield either of
wheat or corn-and the per-
feet paradise of stock dealers.
Their first markets were the
best, namely: feeding the
mlgrational waves which flow
ed over and beyond them; then
they sent their crops to mines
and military posts; next, their
surplus streamed down the
Missouri to Saint-Louis, but
was soon diverted in part from
both Southern and Western
markets to Chicago-especi-
ally when slowed in bags of
hog.skin and cow-hide.
Nebraska will long be the
Niece. of holnesteaders; but for
tie last three years it has been
equally the resort Of buyers OF
railroad land. Over three
thousand settlers have bought
OF the Burlington & Missouri
River Railroad. Some of them
also homesteaded. Those who
did not, judged railroad lands
better than free farms, consld.

Making A Fortune.

Making "A Fortune.
Samuel McFadden was a
walchman in a bank. He was
poor, but honest, and his life
was without reproach. The
trouble with him was that he
was not appreciated. His sal
AIRY was only four dollars a
week, and when he asked to
have il raised, the president,
cashier and board of directors
glared at him through their
spectacles, and frowned on
him, and told him to go out
and stop his inSolence, when
he knew business was dull,a and
the bank could not meet its
expenses now, let alone lavish
ing one dollar on such a mis-.
erable worm as Samuel Nc
Fadden. And then Samuel
telt depressed, and the haugh-
ty scOrn of the president and
cashier cut HIM tn the heart
He would then 60 10 the side
yard, and bow his venerable
twenty-tour inch head and
weep gallons and gallons Of
tears over his insignificance,
and pray that he might be
made worthy of the cashiers
and presidents polite atten-
ton.
One night a happy thought
struck him, a CLEAN of light
burst upon him; and gazing
down the dim vista Of years
with his eyes all blinded with
joyous tears, he saw himself
rich and respected. So Samuel
McFadden fooled around and
got a ajimmy, a monkey wrench,
a cross cut saw, a cold chiseI,
a drill, and about a ton of gun
powder and those things. Then,
in the dead Of night, he went
TO the fire-proof safe, and work
ing at it for a while, burst the
door and bricks into an immor.
tai smash with such perfect
success there was not enough
OF that safe left to make a car
pet tack. MIR. McFadden then
proceeded to load up with cou-
pOns,greenbdcks, currency, and
specie, and to nail all the odd
change that was lying any
where, and so he pranced out
of the bank with over a mil
lion dollars on him. He then
retired TO an unassumming

ANoTHER coon CITIZEN GONE.

The news Of Mr.. John Newsom death
Yesterday ives received everywhere with
expressions of deep regret. Hewas one
of our Oldest and best citizens. Only a
few days ago he attended the old
Folks at Home" picnic at the Fair
Grounds and greeted his old and young
friends with customary cordially, and
seemed to enter into the spirit OF the
occasion as in former years. Judge
Swaynes feeling illusions to the posi-
biliiy of death entering their ranks within
the present year have been but too soon
verified in the sudden summons obeyed
by both Newsom and Belts. Mr.. Newsom,
we learn, had resided in Memphis since
1929, and had consequently seen the
place grow up from mere trading post
and flatboat landing to city of sixty
thousand inhabitants. He was init
mately identified with her growth and
prosperity, and for many years held
positions of honor and trust under the
city government, and was always eff
Gent and faithful to his trusts, having
been Chief Of Police at one time, City
Tax Collector many years and was City
Treasurer at the time Of his death. He
is survived by a highly respectable
family and hosts of friends, who will
cherish his memory with mingled senti-
ments of regret and respect

NEW YORK.

New YORK, September 20.-It is said
this morning that the person who really
sustained the market yesterday and kept
it from breaking to point where half of
the street would have been ruined, was
Jay Gould, who bought during the low
prices several hundred thousand shares
of railroad stocks, and thus put check
to the decline. When the report became
known late in the evening that there
would be a ten million issue Of green
backs there was sudden making up Of
prices, and an advance Of five to six per
cent. took place in as many minutes.
This. however, did not last, owing to the
strength of the bearsclique. The numer-
Gus failures gave rise to many false
rumors Of other suspensions. Among
others it was reported that the First
National Bank here had suspended.
This was. untrue, but had the effect Of
creating excitement and confusion in
nd around that portion of the CONNER
cial circles. The effect Of the Wall
street failures was apparently partial
suspension of business operations.
Anxiety was expressed as TO the ability
Of the banks to weather the local storm.
A bulletin this morning announces
the stock exchange closed until further
notice.
The following additional failures have
occurred: L. Joseph & Co., p. NJ. Meyers
& Co, Taussig Fisher q Co. and Fear
ing & Dillinger. There is no truth in
the rumor Of Carlton, Treasurer Of the
Union Trust Company, being defaulter.
