keep him in health, strength and
vigor, to his family, friends and

Now, after the use of the old court
house for twenty-six years, as rebuilt, the
people determined to sell it and to build
a new one, to cost $4,000, upon the site
of the old one.
"Those twenty-six years! Consider
them few minutes. The history of those
twenty-six years is not of continued pros
perity; their history includes privations
of parents and children, young and old
alike: includes toll and hardships untold;
includes years of storms, of drouths Of
disaster Yet in that period, wonderful to
tell, all those sod houses disappeared. OF

Trnmc of the EARLY Day.

THAT Overland road was a busy one
carrying the commerce between the At
lantic and the Pacific, between the states
and the mountain mines. The transactions
at those posts were sometimes large and
important, especially those nearest Fort
Kearney of which we have but little
knowledge and have now but little interest.
I'm 1867 the great Union Pacific railroad
was constructed through the state along
the Platte valley on the north side OF the
river. AS It progressed the trafic and
travel on the overland road was clean swept
away, the posts were abandoned, Kearney
county was depopulated its organization
was lost for want OF men to fill its Offices
even It's records became scattered and are
now lost.
I'm 1871 the state legislature again
formed Kearney county, limiting its boun-
darles to its present lines, and on June 20,
1872, 1t was again organized with Lowell
as its county seat, having then thirty-one
voters-not one of whom are now living IN
the county. 1t is this last period, from the
date Of it's second organization to the pres
ent. that we are considering today. The
building of the Union Pacific brought
throngs of emigrants along its line who
settled on the Platte valley and its streams
on the north side of the river who i'm
mediately developed and published the fact
