FORTUNES MADE IN NEBRASKA.
One of Them Was the Result OF q
False Impression.

From the Omaha World Herald
Along back in the early sos there was a
firm in Peoria, H., which was doing a
good business. 1t consisted of a young
married man and an old married man.
The young married man had worked his
way up from the position Of clerk until
he had secured a half partnership. But
the older partner had money aside from
that he had invested in the Peoria house.
and this he devoted to buying up Nebras-
ka land at a few cents on the dollar. But
this was years before the sos
Along about 1884 this partner who Tad
his money invested in worthless Nebraska
land found that what he owned was one
vast desert OF sand. But the sand was
valuable Some meddlesome person had
been through the country, sampled the
sand and found that ii was almost pure
silica and would make excellent glass. The
partner began selling his land at about 500
per cent. profit. and having nothing else
10 do with the money, and thinking his
business needed more capital, added il to
the firm account. This built up the firm
until it was the leading one in Peoria
but it didn't help the partner, for he was
Obliged TO pay interest on the excess Of
capital or drop back into a third or fourth
share. Eventually he dropped out entire

Published at I;aker city has the fol-
lowing about two Salem gentlemen,
In connection with its history OF St.
Joseph's Catholic church of this city:
Father. White is still pastor here,
beginning with the first Sunday, also
/ the first day of the year 1888, and is
therefore the longest In continuous
service OF any priest who has been in
charge of the parish. During the
years of general progress and prosper
ity ND to 1893, the Catholic congrega-
tion under Father White grew and
advanced in wealth, numbers and in
telligence, but in the past few years
there has been standstill. There is
plenty Of work for pastor here, but
il cannot be said that at present his
pecuniary compensation is calculated
to establish plethoric bank account
for him. The present spring, however
begins to show cheerful signs of az
upward tendency again.
In the later days there are many
who deserve credit for their efforts
and contributions, the list being sc
large as to exclude enumeration; but
few demand extra recognition. Ont
of the best friends of the church IL
this city is a non-Catholic, Hon. A
Bush, whose word of encouragement
and substantial financial aid have al
ways been freely given. At the build
ing of the new church, in 1888, he do
mated $500, besides granting othe
valuable favors. In fact, our mos
authentic information IS to the effec
that he has always befriended til
, Catholics through oppression or stres
, of circumstances.
