V. e. Josenhans, carrier on rural
route z, returned the first of the week
with seven head of Jersey cattle, six
cows and bull calf, from the herd of
Aver & Mckinney, Meridale. n. Y.
Everyone of these animals is splendidly
bred and will make the foundation for q
fine herd of cattle. The bull is of the
celebrated Owl strain, noted for its
great milk and butter capacity. The
dam of this calf in nine and q half
months with her first calf gave $3.50
pounds of milk and 40i pounds of but
ter. while three half ssters-all sired
by the same animal with an average
test of ten months with their first calves
gave an average of 5000 pounds of milk
and 4I2 pounds of butter. The animal
will be kept at Mr.. Josenhans' farm
west of the city. Mr. Josenhans enjoy
ed stay of three days at Meridale
farm, located in the Catskill mountains,
and had a fine opportunity to inspect
the three hundred head Of Jerseys.

The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1910-10-21

A fine white elm shade tree which
the writer frequently passes has come
to grief owing to the fact that years
ago, when the head of the tree was
forming. care was not taken to pre-
vent large limbs growing up and out
from the same point In the trunk. In
the case In question three were al
lowed to do so. A couple of years ago
one OF the three large branches was
blown from the top In a heavy wind.
and short time since a big split APP
peared between the two remaining
sections Of the top. One Of these Is
sure to come down soon. leaving but a
skeleton of what gave promise of being
a shade tree Of remarkable beauty and
symmetry. The trouble might have
been prevented when the tree was
first set by so pruning 1t as to give a
sturdy and well jointed frame. The
same principle holds In the case Of
fruit trees. and poor heads having
weak joints should be remedied while
the tree is young.

1t Is now pretty generally conceded
that dog going from hogpen or
feed lot where there is hog cholera
may carry the germs to nearby farms.
In the same way the cholera germs
may be transported on the boots Of
owners or hired help who may have
the care Of the hogs. Whatever else
may be said of hog cholera. it is estab-
iished beyond question that it Is a
highly contagious germ disease and
that to eradicate it or prevent its
spread the same general methods
should be employed us health officers
employ in the case Of smallpox. diph-
liberia and scarlet fever-isolation,
quarantining and disinfection.

HoMEsTEADERS in TROUBLE
Settlers Report that CattIemen Made
Spite Deal for School
District.

Homesteaders of Cherry county want to
know who signed the application for a
school district which takes the school from
the part of the county in which the set
tiers have made their homes. They claim
1t was only further attempt on the part
of certain cattlemen who have been maxi
ing things disagreeable for them ever since
they took up their homesteads, to drive
them from the county.
Charles Harms of Survey, Neb., was in
Omaha Saturday morning and he told how
the settlers were oppressed. The settle
ment lies near the southeast corner Of the
county. As soon as the settlers became
firmly established their first consideration
was a school district for the education of
their children. A district was mapped out
six miles square.
While the settlers were working on
their district another district was map
ped out and applied for. extending
about fifteen miles north OF the lit
tie settlement and taking In Just one
mile OF the district marked out by the
settlers. Also 1t was the plan OF the ap-
plicants for the new district to place the
school about ten miles from the settle
ment.
Nothing can be done In the matter until
fall as the school law does not provide for
the creation OF school districts during the
summer months. Mr.. Harms will stop in
Lincoln on his return TO Cherry county
and will take the matter up with the
state superintendent.

New York Swept
by Storm After
Welcome Parade
Metropolitan District Suffers Severe
Blow in Which Panic Reigns
and Three Are Killed.

NEW YORK, June 1S.-On the heels of
the reception to Theodore Roosevelt today
came the deluge.
Two hours after the parade that escorted
him up Fifth avenue had disbanded the
whole metropolitan district was swept by
the most violent storm in months. In
twenty minutes six-tenths of an inch of
rain fell, while the wind at times attained
a velocity of fifty-eight miles an hour.
Three deaths were reported early tonight
four other persons are believed to have
been drowned in the capsizlng of fishing
smack off Long Island. while scores Of
others had narrow escapes.
Base bali games were abandoned, and
for a while panic threatened under the
tents of circus showing in the upper part
of the city.
The storm broke almost without warning,
preceded by a gust of wind that uprooted
trees and sent street signs flying. Then
came the downpour, almost a cloudburst
in violence. In a moment streets were
flooded and the crowds still lingering down
town were soaked and bedraggled. For an
hour and a half the storm continued ,caus-
ing great damage.
Racegoers at Sheepshead Bay were nearly
thrown into a panic when they saw a bolt
of lightning demolish the Jockeys board
and pillow a furrow 100 feet long through
the earth.
In Brooklyn, Frank Ross was instantly
killed by an uprooted tree. Another tree
in Flushing, L. l., was struck by lightning
and Julius Joska, who had sought refuge
under its branches, was killed.
Only the GOODNESS of performers and en-
ployes of the Forepaugh Sails Bros.
circus prevented panic in the tents spread
on Manhattan field.
Another victim of the wind was Mrs.
Elizabeth Gerhardt, IS years old, of Brook

Watkins Authority.
Mr. Watkins is a recognized authority on
the history of Nebraska, having succeeded
the late ]. Sterling Morton as editor-in-
chief of the most exhaustive and authorita-
tive work we have on the subject, Nor
toms History of Nebraska" 1t is there
fore of interest to compare Mr.. Watkins,
as editor of the history mentioned, with
Mr.. Watkins, as challenger of the accuracy
of the statements made in the article
printed in The Bee in regard to Bellevue
and the early settlement of Nebraska. The
chief points in The Bees story which are
questioned by Mr.. Watkins are briefly
summed up as follows:
That the Astor station was not estab-
lished at Bellevue in 1S10-that the date of
such is q after of doubt. (See Page 81,
Morton's History of Nebraska, wherein
1t is stated that the Pacific Fur company
(Astor's) was organized in 1901
That Manuel de Lisa's appearance at
Belevnue is a matter Of uncertain date,
and that there is no definite knowledge
as to thee rigin of the name of Bellevue
(See page g., Morton's History of Nebraska,
wherein it is stated that tradition is to
the effect that Manuel de Lisa reached
Bellevue in 1905 and that he gave the
palce it's present name.)
That Bellevue was never the capital of
Nebraska. (See page 1863, Mortons History
of Nebraska, which says, quoting a letter
from Armistead Burt, son of Governor
Burt: THE governors intention was to
convene the first legislature at Bellevue
AS to locating the capital heard him say
that he wanted to choose a place that
would be the permanent seat of govern
ment." Also see page 17S Morton's History
of Nebraska, where the following para
arrived in this territory, he found only
one place entitled to the name of village,
even, anywhere north of the Platte river.
The town Of Bellevue, the first townsite
north of the Platte, was the place where
it was known he intended to locate the
capital."D This is substantially an extract
from an extended discussion of the capital
question, and while it is true that the
| first session of the legislature was held in
Omaha, as stated not only in Nebraska
histories, but also by The Bee in its Belle
vue article, Governor Burt, according to
all historical authorities, considered Belle
vue the seat of government during his very
brief reign.
Although other reference works were
used to some extent, the main dependence
of The Bee in it's Bellevue story was Nor
| ing to history, the Astor fur station may
not have been in actual operation at Belle
vue in 1870 all histories agree that II was
| organized in that year-hence the fitness
| of holding the Bellevue centennial in 1910

was placed on the east eide Of the river
and at a less important point than Bellevue
presumably because the territory on the
Nebraska side had not yet been coded by
the Indians to the United States.
Called Council Bluffs.
This Nebraslxa-in-Iowa was really a
proxy of Bellevue or Council Bluffs, and
the greater part of its business originated
at the busy Nebraska post. Both the bor-
rowed name and the close proximity of the
Iowa adjunct suggest he Importance of its
principal.
Bellevue was always called Council Bluffs
or Council Bluffs Agency in the reports of
the Indian and other federal officers until
the agency of the Omaha, the Otoe and
Missouri. and the Pawnee Indians was re-
moved-ln 1851 The name of Nebraska"
postoffice was changed to Council Bluffs
in 1850; this name was in turn changed to
Traders Point in 1852. The office was fin
ally discontinued December IS, 1854, because
the territorial organization of Nebraska
had made way for a postoffice at Bellevue,
and Kaneville, which took the name Coun-
Gil Bluffs when Traders Point lost 1t in
1852, had superseded the ferry landing in
| Importance.
Bellevue was never the capital of Ne
braska and no preliminary legal steps were
taken to make II so, Acting Governor Cum
! ing took the first step toward establishing
the capital of this commonwealth by calling
the first legislature to convene at Omaha,
and that body took the final step by declar-
ing Omaha to be the permanent capital.
The year 1910 was very important and
| significant one to the Nebraska country.
Astorians, whose great expedition was or
| ganized in that year, discovered and trav-
ersed the great part of the Oregon trail
on their return fro mthe Columbia river
in 1S12-1S This very remarkable explora-
ton stimulated IL 1t did not cause, the
movement which colonized the Oregon
country with Americans in antagonlsm to
the British invasion, and finally secured it
to the United States. The story of the ev-
olution of the great highway, which tray
ersed Nebraska and discovered its interior
to the world, Is very fascinating. The
trail was practically opened and used by
the fur traders nearly twenty years before
the great tide of oregon immigration
which gave 1t its name, set in, in 1912.
