OTOE COUNTY IN 1891.

We have the pleasure of Offering our
readers herewith an account of certain
adventures of al army officer in this
vicinity, seven years before Colonel
Kearney and Captain Boone observed
the advantages of the later site of Neb-
raska City, and fifteen years before the
old block-house was built. This officer
was Colonel Philip St. George Cooke,
later of the dragons; Kearney and
Boone were also dragoon officers, it will
be remembered. The western frontier
posts were garrisoned at first with in
fantry regiments, replaced afterwards by
the dragoon regiment, which was organ
lied in 1888 from the companies of
mounted rangers that were formed after
the Black Hawk war.
Colonel Cooke is best known as the
commander of the Mormon battalion,
which was recruited at the present
Council Bluffs, from MOrmons on their
way to Salt Lake, and which formed
part of Colonel Kearney's force with
which he invaded California. Besides
report on this expedition, there is book
of Colonel Cookies extant, from which
the following extract is taken. It is en-
titled "Scenes and Adventures in the
Army; or Romance of Military Life"
1t is all oddly personal book, giving one
good idea of the solitary life that an
officer led on the old frontier; it runs
from 1897 to 1845, and becomes kind
of Sentimental Journey" towards the
last. 1t was published in Philadelphia
in 1857
Colonel Cooke, it may be mentioned,
speaks of Daniel Boone as "the sire of
our worthy captain of dragons" The
CONSERVATIVE has stated once or twice
that Captain Nathan was grandson of
Daniel, and believes this to be the case,
as it's information comes from gentle
man, Judge j. w. Eaton, who was
brought up among the descendants of the
Boone family in Missouri.
Gin the summer of 1885," says the
colonel, who was stationed at that time
at Fort Leavenworth, wishing to ex-
tend my knowledge of the country, and
weary of inactivity, obtained leave of
absence, in order to accompany an officer
of the Indian Department on an official
visit to the villages of the Otto and
Omaha Indians, and the Old Council
Bluff in their vicinity" who this
official may have been I do not know.

no doubt followed the ridges thence to
Ashland, taking the route of the later
"Emigrant' or California" trail.
1Sth. Proceeded early little N. of
W., crossing an endless succession of
prairie hills, between which were gener-
ally cutters filled with clear water, with
vertical sides, and so deep that the
horses had to leap them. After two
hours rest at noon, we assembled the
divide between the waters of the
Nemehaws (or Missouri) and the Great
Platte River. This, the highest ground
between two mighty rivers, is an i'm
mense prairie of table land, impressing
the senses with the idea of an elevation
far greater perhaps than the reality,
owing to the extraordinary circumstance
of there being no higher object visible
no distant mountain, hill, or inequality,
not even tree, to restore by comparison
juster estimate. 1 was thus, for the
first time, out of sight Of woods; ; far
away, in every direction, not even
shrub was to be seen-a green sea wav-
ing in the breeze !" Then the colonel
quotes poetry and moralizes on the fallen
state Of the red man. Also he mentions
by name the ''great American Desert;
which" he says further, caravans of
weary pilgrims will soon penetrate, to
seek new homes on the Columbia and
the Pacific" A singular statement:
for is it understood that the Oregon
emigration was in sight in 1881?
"June 10. Pursued w. N. w.
course, and in few hours came in
sight of the Great Platte River, and
made halt at the little Saline;;" (Salt
Creek:) "it is twenty yards wide
shallow stream, running swiftly over
rocky bottom: the water is brackish.
We remounted at 10 o'clock, and fol-
lowing up the course of the river, passed
over a low, sandy sterile district. There
were many trails leading to the Otto
villages. The Indians, moving like the
buffalos, in single file, make, like them,
deep paths. We passed, In succession,
the odd Village and the Lower Viii
lage,' oppressed by heat and thirst, and
somewhat sorrowful that all signs, or
absence of signs, indicated that the In
dians had all gone on the summer hunt.
At sunset we reached the Upper Village,
which. accordingly, we found utterly
deserted.
"These dwellings of the Indian are
more comfortable than the common
houses in the frontier states. Around
circular excavation about three feet
deep, and forty in diameter, conical
edifice of poles rests upon a strong
framework; this is covered three or four
feet thick with wattled bushes, etc., and

cribing his journey gives the greater
part of the existing information con-
cerning the Otoe Indians.)
"The first day we rode but few miles,
our hired man being veay drunk, as is
usual with these fellows on such occa-
sions, when their services are most
needed. He fell from his horse on some
tin-cups, and mashed them nearly flat.
Next day we got along more COM
fortably. Our course lay altogether
over prairies, but in view generally Of the
timber of the river, and always of some
small tributary. This night we camped
on one of the miry creeks, very difficult
to cross, which here abound, indicating
country as rich as it is beautiful.
This was about Sc miles above Fort
Leavenworth." Very likely, there

Tuesday, June 14th. We got over the
boggy stream by 6 o'clock; after riding
about twelve miles over rolling prairie,
we suddenly beheld before us the beau
tiful valley of the Grand Nemehaw; far
below us stretched out, mile and half
in width, the level prairie bottom, stud
ded with numberless flowers of every
brilliant color; the margin of the river
was fringed and relieved by stately trees !;
five elks, disturbed by our approach,
slowly galloped away along thehillside."
They crossed the river on large tree
that had been felled across (showing
that white men had been there) and i'm
mediately encamped Oh the bluff to es-
cape an approaching storm; but it
rained with such fury that the water
rose upon them in the night, and they
came near losing their lives in the dark
ness. The river had risen twenty feet
perpendicular by morning, he says "the
cries Of drowning fawns were heard the
whole forenoon, and many deer swan
out in our neighborhood. They were
delayed couple of days, all the creeks
being out of their banks.

a third and successful attempt to cross

scenery most strikingly resembles it's
Grand namesake, though we thought,
after wading our horses for a mile
through it's rich bottom, that it was
little larger.

A WISE PROVISION.

The Board of Trustees of the I'm
iversity has advanced the law course
from one to two years.
This action is in accord with the gen
eral demand for improved professional
education The leading Law Schools
of other States have a three years
course. The national association of
Law Schools does not recognize an in
stitution with one years course as
having any status in legal education.
The Medical Colleges of Georgia
have raised their course from two to
three years, and latterIy to four.
In view of these facts, the one year
law course had ceased to be credit
able to the institution or the State.

The report comes from up the state
that Hon F G.. duBignon will be asked
to remain at the head of the state
Democratic executive committee. A
number of the committee have express
ed themselves that way and the politi-
clans are also anxious that he should
remain as the chairman OF the Demo
cratic executive committee. They point
out the fact that Mr. duBignon will
not be called on to do any great amount
of work and that the duties will not be
at oil irksome. It is not known what
view Mr.. duBignon will take of the
matter, but it is believed that he will
consent to remain at the head of the
party if his health will permit.

THE LAST REUNION.

In Lexington Kentucky on Sept. IL,
10 and IA the National Association of
Mexican War Veterans will hold what
Will probably prove its last annual re-
union. The reason is simple and a
pathetic one; the grand old men of the
republic are growing too old and too
feeble to wander far from their homes;
fewer and fewer have been able to
come each year, and the leaders among
them think that the approaching meet
ing will be the last. There yet re-
main some 5000 men of those who
crossed the Rio Grande more than half
a century ago and made strange names
familiar ones as telling the spots where
great victories were won. Their aver
age age lacks but two years of four
score, so that it can readily be seen
that but few more reunions can be held,
Gen. Z. Fl. Hobson, of Greensburg, Ky is
President of the association. BE is 3
veteran of three wars, serving through
out the Mexican war, and was one of
those who carried the bodies of Col.
Mckee and Lieut.. Col. Henry Clay,
Jr., from the battle field of Buena
Vista after they had been killed and
mangIed by the Mexicans. There are
many unique characters on the role of
the veterans, but their numbers have
gradually dropped off. The oldest living
veteran is Dennis Meekan, now an in
mate of the Soldiers Home at Dayton,
o. Heis 1O2 years of age. Samuel l..
McFaddin, of Logansport, Ind, known
as the Tall Sycamore of the Wabash, P"
is perhaps the largest living veteran.
He is feet four inches in height and
weights about 200 pounds. He has
served as Marshal of the annual meet
ing for a number of years past, but will
be missed at the meeting. He has in
formed President Hobson that he has
been in bad health and will not be able
to attend this year as usual.
