roads will be built into the city.
The Missouri Pacific, from the advent of
which dates Nebraska Citys prosperity,
promises great things for the coming year.

be built as soon as the weather becomes
settled and line from Nebraska City to

road into Nebraska City its business here has
increased SO rapidly as to demand greatly en-
larged facilities in their yards and Offices.

branch from its main line in Iowa to con-
meet with the line from St. Joseph to Beatrice,
and will cross the river at this point. The
B. & M. line from this city to Ashland and
thence to Omaha, Is also an assured thing for
this summer as work has already commenced
upon it.

In view of her past prosperity and bright
outlook for the future Nebraska City is
making preparations for one of the grandest
jubiees and celebrations upon the next 4th
| of July that has ever been attempted in the
state. Money and work will be freely ex-
pended in the endeavor to make it a success,
such as characterizes every undertaking OF
our citizens.
A united effort is being made by our mon.
eyed men and backed by some of the leading
men of Fremont county, Iowa, towards Sc
curing the construction of wagon bridge
across the Missouri river at this place. The
| scheme meets with universal encouragement
and it's more than likely that among Ne
| braska City's acquisitions for 1883 will be the
| proposed wagon bridge, the building of which
would be of even greater value to the city
| than the railroad bridge.
A sure sign of the solid, growth and steady
| advancement of Nebraska City is evidenced
| by the faith moneyed men of neighborine
cities have in the place. Nearly every day
can be seen men from other cities in the
| state upon our streets investing in property
| A party of gentlemen from Beatrice were in
| the city the past week and invested heavily
! in real estate Scott Bros, of Peoria, ILL.,
| dry goods merchants, have also made invest
| ments and are making arrangements to build
| and put in $4,000 stock and establish q
| wholesale trade The Anheuser Busch com
| pany is also making preparations to begir
| the erection Of their large branch distribut
| ing and bottling houses.
