one freely bought with it, and those
who sold things for high price at
once sought to buy other things. So
the market was always lively.
The Great Panic-Those good times
lasted little over a year. Then
came the great panic Of 1857. All
over the west banks broke and closed
their doors. People who had beau
tiful, bright bank notes could buy
nothing with them. People who
thought they were rich, found that
they had nothing. Those in debt,
found that they could not pay their
debts, for no one would take the bank
notes. There was great distress and
poverty and suffering for number
of years.
The Wild Cat Days-Then the peo-
pie ceased to dream of getting rich
in a few months and began to plow
up their town sites, plant crops and
live in quiet and modest way ac-
cording to their means. The years
1856 and 1857 are called to this time
the wild Cat Days" Of Nebraska
because the bank notes used were
known as wild cat money.
The Effort to Move the Capital to
Salt Creek-While the wild cat bank
note fever was high the third Ne
braska legislature met on January 5.
1857. 1t is noted for two acts, 1t
passed a bill to remove the capital
from Omaha to Douglas, in Lancaster
county, by vote OF nine to four IN
the council, and twenty-three to
twelve in the house. Douglas was a
paper town" somewhere near Salt
Creek, no one knew just where. as
no one lived there, As Governor
lizard vetoed The bill, Douglas never
started to grow and no one knows to
this day where the capital would be
II it had been moved from Omaha
in 1857. The legislature III 1857 also
repealed the criminal code, that part
Of the law which provides for pun
ishment of those who commit crimes.
1t was said this was done to keep a
certain man, . muderer, from being
punished. The law was restored at
the next session.
The War Between North and South
Platte-The fourth Legislature which
met in Omaha. December 8, 1857, is
known as that OF the Florence Se-
cession,' The war between the North
Platte and South Platte sections had
become fierce and bitter. Thereswere
twice as many settlers n the South
Platte country as in the North. A
majority Of both houses of the legis-
lature were from the South Platte.
The North Platte by Governor lizards
veto had been able to hold the capi-
tai at Omaha. The South Platte was
determined to take il across the river.
A bill for that purpose was intro
duced. A fist fight on the floor fol-

lowed between members from Omaha
and members from the South Platte.
The next day, January 8, 1858, a ma
jority Of both house and council ad-
journed to the town OF Florence, six
miles above Omaha. There they met
and passed laws, while the other
members met in Omaha. Among
the acts passed at Florence was one
providing for the removal OF the capi-
tai to Neapolis. This was another
paper town on the south bank of the
Platte, near where Cedar Bluffs, Saun-
ders county, Is now located.
Governor Richardson Comes to Ne
braska-Nebraska's third governor,
William A. Richardson, democrat, OF
Illinois, arrived at Omaha January
IL, 1858, in the midst of the Floernce
secession. He refused to recognize
the members at Florence or to sign
the laws passed there, because that
was not the capital. So both the
Florence and the Omaha legislatures
went home, at the end of forty days,
with nothing done. Soon after this
Secretary Of State Cunning died and
]. Sterling Morton, leader of the
South Platte, section. was appointed
by President Buchanan to fill the
place.
The Early Colonies-In these ter
ritorial days, settlement by colonies
began. These were groups of people
with some common bond, sometimes
that of the same neighborhood in an
older state, sometimes that OF a
common language OF religion. Usually
the first comers in these colonies
wrote back for others and the colony
spread, so that the county where they
settled became known as the home Of
certain class OF people. In this
way Germans settled in Hall, Cunning
and Otoe counties in 1857, both
French and Germans in Richardson
county, and an Irish colony in Dakota
county in. 1856. o.
The Republican Party--In the year
1858. party politics appeared in Ne
braska: At first all the settlers were
democrats because they came from
states where that party was strong
When the Nebraska Kansas bill was
passed in 1854, the new republican
party was born. But although the
Nebraska Kansas bill was the cause
Of the birth OF the republican party
there were at first no republicans
in Nebraska The democratic party
in the north and the south was diNd-
ing into two camps on the subject
OF slavery. The southern camp said,
"A man has the right to take and hold
his slaves anywhere in the union"
The northern camp said, Let the
people in each state decide whether
that state shall have slaves or not"
The republican party said, mo more
slave territory anywhere

Finally the color began to come in
her cheeks and she felt stronger.
Then one day she was out alone
in the garden when she saw some
thing red moving with the wind. She
called for her maid to come and wheel
her to it, but no answer. Then she
put one foot on the ground, then the
other. Finally she stood up and

found Joy walking among her plants

NEBRASKA AS A TERRITORY
CONTINUED from Last Week.

Money was what was needed, every
body said. They thought II only they
had money to start things, to hire
men. to buy goods, to let the world
know how good the country was,
people would come rushing in, the
lands would be settled, towns be
quickly built and all would easily get
rich together. There were such splen-
did sites for towns and cities, at the
ferry crossings upon the Missouri,
where creeks and rivers came to-
Rether, and on the beautiful slopes
where the woodland and prairie met.
Many OF these were staked off into
town lots. Each ones dream was a
little more certain to him than his
neighbor's dream.
Money was needed. There was very
sll;;tttia of it in Nebraska for the set
tiers as yet raised almost nothing to
sell. Each man grew little patch
ofsgarden and grain, killed a little
game and snapped the little surplus
with his neighbors.
How to Make Money--When the
second legislature met in 1856 some
Of the men who wished to make
things 60 faster said: Pass law
that will let us join together in com
pany and starts bank. Let the bank
issue bank notes. Everyone can use
these notes for money and we will
grow rich together" So hhe legis-
laturc made such law. Only few
brave men, among them j. Sterling
Morton and DR.. George L. Miller, OPP
posed Il.
The Good Times--Five men could
then start a bank. They did not need
to put in any money at the beginning
\ Each one promised to pay money al
i certain future time. Then the bank
opened. Thousands Of dollars oi
bright, beautiful bank notes were
printed by each bank and loaned tc
those who wished to borrow. This
was the money which the banks prom,
ised to make. Everyone soon hat
plenty OF this kind OF money. Every,
body was wiling to buy. Town lot.
