seven miles west of our settlement. The
parties interested in Mendotte were
David Croker, VIM. Roberts, M. Potts
and Billy Painter, the latter killed in a
snow storm. All of these men soon
abandoned the scheme and David Croker
took possession of the entire townsite.
Here will insert that David Croker
later on sold out to Fred Evans, the
same Fred Evans who, later on, went to
the Black Hills, and at the Hot Springs
in South Dakota, built the famous
Evans hotel. Mr.. Enos Beal, who built
the two-story frame house, became the
father-in-law of Mr.. Evans, and this,
together with what have said before,
completes the history Of Mendotte.
Wood River Center is horse of a
different color altogether, and is the
forerunner Of the present town known
as Wood River, and is some ten or
twelve miles west Of the former

1t will doubtless please the sage of
Arbor Lodge to learn that the govern
ment of the United States is about to
encourage tree planting on a large
scale, but his pleasure will be consider
ably modified when the further infor-
nation is received that the young trees
are to be distributed as sort of annex
to the notorious congressional free seed
bureau. The seeds are popular among
the statesmen of the nation, and no
amount of scolding has caused con-
the appropriations. 1t is said to be the
idea of the secretary of agriculture to
utilize this passion for distributing
things among constituents to start a
forestry boom all over the United States.
The trees will be grown by thousands in
the government greenhouses and sent
out upon order of the congressman with
the most specific instructions for planting
and bringing them up to maturity. 1t
is urged in favor of this departure that
every gift may become a permanent
blessing to the recipient and to the public
as well, whereas gifts of seed corn and
cabbages become a permanent drain
upon the treasury because they must be
renewed every year to keep the con-
stituents in good ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

EDITOR CONSERVATIVES:
Since I wrote to you on March 21st,
other copies of The CONSERVATIVE came
into my hands and were furnished me
by request, and in Vol. iii, No. 33,
find a short communication from w. r.
McAllister, dated Feb. II, 1901, which
requires correction. now quote from
the German edition of my History Of
Hall county (of which sent you copy
and I translate from pages 10 and II
as follows:
In the spring of 1858, quite number
of Mormons (mostly from Genoa) settled
along Wood River and began farming
and the raising of stock. One of them,
Mr.. Joseph E. Johnson, published
there the first weekly paper ever pub
lished in Hall county, Nebraska, called
The Huntsman's Echo. Later on the
name of the paper was changed to The
Banner.
In the year 1868 these people sold out
and went to Salt Lake City, Utah, where
Mr.. Joseph E. johnson republished his
paper under the name of Mountain
Bugle.
I have kept and read Mr.. Johnson's
paper while it was published under all
the three different names, from be-
ginning to end, and I was personally
acquainted with him. Friend McAllister
is mistaken about the time he was work
ing for Johnson in 1856 or 1857, because
Mr.. Joseph E. johnson did not come to
Wood River, Hall county, until some
time in the years of 1858 or 1859. Mr..
Johnson came to Wood River direct
from Council Bluffs, Iowa, and not from
Genoa on the Loup River, some distance
above Columbus.
L think the above sets that matter
right. Now, besides, I desire to some
what amend my letter under date of the
21st inst, as to the town of Mendotte,
by again quoting from my History of
Hall county, page 6:

had been located as the Grand Island

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Nov. 25.-From general
strength during the early part of the day
the stock market gave way to general
weakness before the close and ended un-
der active selling pressure with only
such recoveries as were due to the hasty
taking OF profits on the short side by
the bears. 1t was notable in the early
strength that many stocks responded
very moderately to the buoyant rise in
the leaders. The general break at the
last was effective throughout the list,
but it left the leaders of the advance
with considerable net gains to show.
The trunk lines were the effective lead
ers of the advance, especially, New
York Central, which added 4 Is to its
recent remarkable advance. No news
was offered to explain the advance be-
yond the many rumors long prevalent
of a Vanderbilt deal. The movement in
the Pennsylvania was clearly a supple
ment to that in New York Central and
was in the hands of professional specu-
lators who saw the force of an argu-
ment for the maintenance of an approx
innate ration between the two stocks.
Pennsylyania's advance was Ia. The
late reaction left net gain for New
York Central of Is and for Pennsyl-
vania of l 7-S The rise in New York
Central carried with it the Junior VAN
derbilts to the extent of from SIS to 10
points, the latter figure for Michigan
Central. There was enormous buying of
the Readings and of the Southern Rail-
way stocks, but their advance never
much exceeded point A factor in the
opening strength was the scramble of
the bears who went short of Amalga-
mated Copper on Saturday, on the re-
port current after the close of the mar
ket that the Attorney General was pre-
pairing a case against the company I'M
der the Antitrust Law. The opening
rush carried the stock rs over Satur-
days closing level, and this proved the
highest point of the day. The palpable
indisposition of the stocks to rally fur
Their invited renewed attack, and the
final slump to below so was the principal
unsettling factor in the general list.
The stock touched 70 "a and closed at
81. The heaviness of the tranS-conti-
mental stock was feature of the trad
ing throughout Spectators are appar-
emily indisposed to pay higher prices
for these stocks until the result is dis
closed of the agitation in the North
western States against the Northern Sc
curities Company There was an up
ward squirt of 2 3-S in st. Paul which
seemed to be manipulated by the bull
leaders under realization of the de-
pressing effect of the heaviness in that
group. There was more or less realizing
in stocks which have recently advanced

There was no change in the money mar

New York, Nov. 25.-The week opens
without any change Of moment in the
market. The home demand for brown
cottons has again been light and no bus
mess reported for export. Or
ders for bleached cottons are limited
and coarse colored cottons are
quiet. Prices steady throughout. Print
cloths continue inactive at previous
prices. Prints are quieter than last
week and no change, in prices. Cling
hams firm. Medium and fine white
goods heavily sold ahead and firm.
COTTON.
New York, Nov. 25.--The cotton mar
ket opened steady with prices points
lower to 8 points higher and turned firm
on scramble of shorts to cover. At the
beginning of the call the room was bear
ishly influenced by weakness in Liver
pool but before the call adjourned light
interior receipts and short crop esti-
mates from the South turnedSthe tide OF
sentiment in favor of cotton. January
advanced to 767 on buying for both &C
counts. Business from the outside pub
lie however, was not large enough to
keep the market up and by midday
prices had slowly settled back to Satur-
days final bids. Whereas port receipts
were moderate the interior fell far short
of equal date last year. The weather
South was generally fair but tempera-
lures continued very low over import
ant areas. In the afternoon the market
was dull most of the time but steadily
held on scattering demand from room
shorts and absence of bear pressure.
Prices kept within point or so of Sat
urday's closing. AS an offset to light
estimate for tomorrows Houston re-
ceipts, New Orleans arrivals were pre-
dicted to be large-considerably over
last years. The export movement ex-
ceeded the total receipts by a large mar
gin. AT the close of the market it was
quiet and net l to 2 points lower, having
eased off trifie under light selling for
profits by room operators.
