The writer had a short talk with Charles
Hewes a few days since. Charley has just
returned from the west, and in answer to
divers inquiries put by the correspondent,
Mr.. Hewes said: George Gerlack and my
self went ont to Omaha, Nebraska, three
and a half years ago. / railroaded one
year, then went into the st Joseph hos
pital in Omaha City, where | have been en-
ployed as nurse ever since. The country
along the railroads in the western states is
becoming settled mostly by Swedes, Ger
mans and Irish, who are farming the land,
building houses, and converting the wild
and desolate regions of country to a state
of civilization. But the farther pack you
go from the railroad, say fifteen or twenty
five miles, the more rude and unciviiized
are the people. You will find them living
in dug outs, and sod houses, where the in
mates live. eat and sleep in the same apart
ments. Many of the dwellings in Neb-
raska are fastened to the ground. Stout
iron rods are fastened to heavy timbers
buried insthe earth, and conyerging at the
top, hold the dwellings to the ground.
The cowboys of Nebraska are as well be-
haved class of people as you will find any
where in the West. They wear light top
ped boots. corduroy pants, blue shirts and
broad brimmed hats, and always carry a
dirk knike, revolver and rifle. Potatoes
in Omaha are worth a dollar bushel; corn
from 10 to 16 cents per bushel. Farm
land in Nebraska will produce from forty
to fifty bushels OF corn to the acre, and

difficult to find good water and some OF
the wells are from fifty feet to two hundred
feet deep. The foreign element is vastly in
the majority there. They came out by train
loads, settle on the 'homesteads' and sub
sist upon almost nothing. An American
would not go put there and live as the for
eigners do" Mr.. Hewes intends going
back to his old position in the hospital
about the first of next month.
