Regulars Would Train Volunteers.

At present there are In the neighbor-
hood OF 10000 regular troops in the
United States. Ii nation wide mobiliza-
ton becomes a necessity these troops
would be moved TO the Instruction
camps to aid in the training of volun-
teers. Their identity as regular sol
diers would be lost In the development
of the great new army, Just as the reg
ular troops were merged with the vol.
unteers at the time Of the civil war.
In addition to officers of the regulaI
army who would bee assigned TO train
ing recruits. many graduates of mill
tary and state schools throughout the
country who have received thorough
military training would be designated
as officers In charge Of instruction
1t Is probable that greater difficulty
would be experienced In obtaining men
to carry on the administrative features
Of such an organization than In get
ting men qualified TO direct the tactical
training

Corn 10 Cents.
Mr.. Al {. Jones, who has been in
the grain elevator business here since
1873, speaking of the extraordinary
prices that have been paid for corn
of late, says that he has paid $225
bushel and that in 1896 he bought
just as good corn at y cents bushel
and to the extent of $4,000 bushels in
one year. Mr. Jones and his wife |

have been very kind in extending hos.
pitality to me on the occasion of my
visit here. We all formerly knew
man who was noted for his dislike
for manual toll. He was not really
afraid of work for he was like that
man who said that he could lie down
alongside of it and sleep all day. This
particular man whom we knew, &C
cording to Mr.. Jones, rented forty
acre farm one year and began plow-
ing it on the outside. He coutned
the steps for few rounds, then COM
pared the space he had covered with
the remainder of the field, figured the
whole thing out and threw up the job,
said he could never make that many
steps.
Blair is an unusual town in one re-
spect; it has four weekly papers and
they all appear to be doing satisfac-
tory business. One of these is run
by Postmaster Tom Osterman, the
Blair Democrat. He comes of fam-
lily of pioneers of this county and has
an extended acquaintance the county
over. Joe Cook, ex-county clerk and
ex-deputy county clerk is another
pioneer who has personal knowledge
of the great changes that have come
to this part of the state during his
residence here.

was the late John A. Cuppy. who died
a very wealthy man; one was widow
who had a grown son and daughter.

tion OF four eighties, and, as each
member of the group had room on

complied with the law as to residence
on the property. When the time was
up Cuppy and the girl were mar
ried.
Arlington Prosperous.
A few miles southeast of Fontenelle
is the prosperous town of Arlington
with population of about 800. Three
evidences Of prosperity in town and
country are shown-the publication of

Big Nursery Farm.
One of the important business en-
terprises in the vicinity of Arlington
is the big nursery of the Marshall
brothers who annually send out over
the entire country the name of this
state with their shipments of nursery
stock. The headquarters of the COM
pany are in the town where they are
increasing the size of their brick
building to make it cover a space
of l40 feet by l80. Mr.. c. G. Marshall
told me story that was particularly
to me. At the Omaha ex-
position my brother, Will, took to the

for distinction as the capital of Ne

1t was in 1854 that the Nebraska

OF locating its members in Nebraska.
That fall committee representing
the organization was sent out to look

Der, After visiting various localities
this committee decided that location
on the Elkhorn river came the near
est to the object in view-hence Fon-
tenelle. The following year the town
was plated, with eight lots in block,
the lots being l00x200, and streets
100 feet wide. The site overlooked
the Elkhorn and Platte rivers and is
i'll the midst of a very fertile region,
as has since been demonstrated.
First Settler in 1855.
In 1855 there was drawing OF lots
by the members of the colony, and in
1856 many houses were built. 1t was
i'll 1855 that til. family of Thomas
Gibson moved from Quincy TO the
new Nebraska settlement. In his out
tlt was an OK team, driven by young
German, Henry Sprick, who at the
date of his death, few years ago,
was the owner of the greater part of
the townsite of Fontenelle, which he
had converted into farm and was
growing thereon splendid, crops of
wheat, corn and oats. He owned
many other farms and was one of
the wealthiest men in Washington
county. His first home in Fontenelie
was modest log cabin; then he built
a two-story frame, but kept the log
cabin standing near by. Then, a short
distance away, he built modern, spa
cious, brick house, with the log cabin
and the frame still standing, and it is
only within few years that the cabin
has disappeared.

1t was a considerable tract of land
that the townsite of Fontenelle EN-

in cultivation. When the town was
