NEBRASKA.

GEOGRAPHICAL.
   Nebraska, with a grand expanse of territory, lies in the geographical center of our national domain, extending from the 40th to the 42d degree of north latitude and from between the 95th and 96th to the 104th degree of longitude west from Greenwich, and has a total area of 76,185 square miles. The shape of the state is nearly a parallelogram, its northeastern portion being rounded off by the Missouri river while its southwestern corner is encroached upon in straight lines by Colorado to the extent of some 7,500 square miles. Its greatest length from east to west is 412 miles. Its width from north to south is 208 miles. It is bounded on the north by South Dakota, on the south by Kansas and Colorado, on the west by Wyoming and Colorado, while along its northeastern and eastern boundary rush the waters of the mighty Missouri river, separating Nebraska from the states of Iowa and Missouri. The Platte river, in its course eastward from the Rocky mountains, passes through the entire length of the state dividing it into two nearly equal portions, and, with its tributaries in their never-ceasing flow, contributing to the fertility of the great central region, while the waters of the Niobrara on the north, and the Republican on the south, perform the same kind office for those sections of the state. The most important of the tributaries of the Platte are the Loup and the Elkhorn, which flow southeastwardly through lovely and productive valleys till their waters mingle with the greater Stream. The southeastern portion of the state has the beautiful rivers, the Blue and the Nemaha, fringed with timber and abounding with mill sites, watering that fertile region. The Indian title "Nebraska," is said to mean "water valley," or "shallow water," probably in reference to the River Platte.

 

HISTORICAL.

   While the territory now included within the limits of Nebraska was among the earliest reached by the Spanish explorers from Mexico, in A. D. 1541 - its soil lay undisturbed by civilized man until comparatively a recent date. Of its primitive condition a poet has written:

"Its breath the fragrance of the bright wild flowers.
Behold the prairie, broad and grand and free --
'Tis God's own garden, unprofaned by man."

   On April 30th, 1803, the territory of Louisiana, within the boundaries of which Nebraska was included, was ceded by France to the United States; and during the following year the country along the banks of the Missouri river, from the Nemaha to the Niobrara, was explored by Captains Lewis and Clark, who concluded treaties with the various Indian tribes. In 1810 the American Fur Company established a post at Bellevue. The first steamboat to reach Nebraskan waters ascended the Missouri to Fort Lisa, about five and a half miles below Omaha, in connection with Major Lang's expedition to the Rocky mountains. In 1842 Colonel Fremont explored the Platte river country. The Indian tribes having ceded their lands, except reservations, to the United States government, the territory was organized and thrown open for settlement in 1854. The first settlements were made during the same year at a few points along the Missouri river, namely, Omaha, Bellevue, Plattsmouth and Nebraska City. The Mormons had previously attempted a settlement at Florence. In 1860 the population numbered 28,841. On March 1st, 1867, the state was admitted into the Union with a population of 60 000. In 1880 the population had increased to 452,402. In 1890 it numbers 1,056,793.

NEBRASKA STATE GAZETTEER AND

POLITICAL ORGANIZATON.

   The state is divided into eighty-nine counties. Lincoln, the capital city. is located in Lancaster county. The counties are governed by boards of commissioners or supervisors. The counties are also subdivided into precincts, and such counties as choose are organized into townships. Villages have over 200 and less than 1,500 inhabitants. Cities of the second class have over 1,000 and less than 25,000, and are governed by a mayor and city council. Cities having not exceeding 5,000 inhabitants are divided into not less than two nor more than six wards. Cities of the second class having a population of over 5,000 are divided into not less than four nor more than six wards. Hastings, Beatrice, Nebraska City, Kearney, Plattsmouth, Fremont and Grand Island are all cities of this grade. Cities having over 25,000 and less than 60,000 inhabitants are of the first class, with not less than six nor more than ten wards. Lincoln is the only city of the first class in the state. When the population of a city exceeds 60,000 it becomes a metropolitan city, with certain additional powers and immunities. Omaha is the only metropolitan city.

TOPOGRAPHY AND RESOURCES.

   Although the larger part of the state was formerly prairie land the conformation of its surface is quite diversified. Much of the country is gently rolling ground, elevated on the divides between the rivers and descending into rich valleys along the streams, with a gradual ascent from the eastern to the western portions of the state - the former being 1,000 feet and the latter 5,000 feet above the level of the sea. The soil is a rich vegetable mold, varying in thickness from two feet to six or eight feet, underlaid by a clayey formation, the chemical ingredients of which are such as to make the productiveness of the land almost inexhaustible. Some parts of the state were formerly considered arid and barren, especially in the western and northern sections, but much that was so considered has been found exceedingly fertile as cultivation is extended. All of the cereals yield abundant crops, corn being the most extensively raised. In some portions of the state fruit culture has become profitable. The great cattle ranges that formerly occupied some sections of the state are rapidly being succeeded by agricultural and stock farms, the sinking of numerous wells and the extension of irrigation giving the needed moisture and water supply in the higher portions of the state.

   A statement prepared by the department of agriculture shows that in 1889 Nebraska produced 16,848,000 bushels of wheat, valued at $8,761,079, from 1,404,019 acres; 149,543,000 bushels of corn, valued at $25,422,301, from 4,094,067 acres, and 25,963,000 bushels of oats, valued at $4,494,500, from 1,086,228 acres. During 1890, partial drouths have occurred throughout the whole country and Nebraska has not escaped. In many counties, especially the Southwestern, the crops have been a partial failure. Owing, however, to the prevalence of higher prices, the total receipts for the agricultural products of the state will probably exceed those for 1889.

   The raising of live stock is largely engaged in and profitably conducted throughout the entire state. The immense stock yards at South Omaha and Nebraska City, as well as other convenient points, afford a constant and immediate market. The farm products of the state aggregate a total yield for 1889 far in excess of any previous year in her history.

   In some of the southeastern counties quantities of good lime and buildIng stone are found. Clay suitable for the manufacture of brick abounds in all quarters. Coal, gas and oil have been found in some parts of the state, but not as yet in paying quantities. Salt is found in abundance near Lincoln, the capital of the state. The great salt basin, a few miles from the city, covers an area of twelve by twenty-five miles, making an extensive salt marsh, through the length of which, partly draining it, flows Salt creek. The water from these springs contains 29 per cent. of pure salt.

   The grand assessment roll for 1889 shows that there are 10,674,180 acres of improved lands in the state, which are valued at $43,250,063. or an average value of $4.05 per acre. It also shows that there are 13,557,727 unimproved acres valued at $30,965,686; improved lots in the various villages, towns and cities of the state valued at $28,257,292. and unimproved lots valued at $10,158,374. The personal property roll shows that there are 540,175 horses in the state, valued at $9,754,497. or an average assessed valuation per head of $18.05; 1,624,327 cattle, valued at $7,788,825, or an average value of $4.79;

46,676 mules and asses, valued at $995,407, or an average value of $21.37; 179,269 sheep, valued at $106,268, or an average value of 59 cents, and 1,323, 962 hogs, valued at $1,502,412, or an average value of $1.13. The assessed valuation of railroad systems is $29,674,829.21, and that of telegraph systems $181,555.20. This assessment, it appears, only includes the miles of track and were of the railroad and telegraph lines proper, for under the head of "other property." which takes in all miscellaneous matter, an assessed valuation is placed at $1,422,398. The taxable valuation of the property of the state "foots up" $182,763,538.41 for the current year; for 1888 it "footed up" $176,012,820.45. This shows an increase in the valitation in one year of $6,750,707.96. The total levy for the current year is $1,192,008.27, while in 1888 the levy was $1,326,887.79, or a decrease of $133,879.52.

   The growth of the commercial and manufacturing interests of the state have corresponded with its agricultural development. Over 2,300 firms are engaged in various kinds of business. The principal wholesale and jobbing houses for dry goods, groceries, boots and shoes, clothing, produce, hardware, and general merchandise are located at Omaha and Lincoln; lumber, wagons and carriages and agricultural implements, Omaha; livestock and meats, South Omaha and Nebraska City; grain and flour generally throughout the state. The chief manufacturing establishments are located as follows: The Union Pacific Railway Shops, Omaha; the Burlington and Missouri Railroad shops, Lincoln; the Omaha and Grant Smelting Works, Omaha; foundries and iron works, Omaha, Lincoln and Beatrice; flour mills, Omaha, Crete and Weeping Water; distilleries and breweries, Omaha and Nebraska City; sugar works, Grand Island; cotton mill, Kearney; woolen mill, Lincoln; paper mills, Lincoln, Beatrice and Kearney; brick, tile and pottery works, Omaha, Beatrice, Lincoln, Crete, Louisville and O'Neill; starch works, Lincoln and Beatrice; shoe factories, Omaha and Columbus; shot works, coffin factory, chair factory, Omaha; white lead works, hominy mill, plaster mill, East Omaha. In various parts of the state there are located numerous creameries, fruit and vegetable packing houses, planing mills, cheese factories, carriage and wagon shops, foundries, pump and windmill manufactories and many other minor manufacturing industries.

EDUCATIONAL.

   Nebraska's educational system is built on a sure foundation, and eastern people will find as good educational institutions as in their former homes. The founders of the commonwealth, profiting by the experience of the older states and the wise provisions of the general government, laid the foundation broad and complete. The value of the public school property of the state is $5,123,179, as shown by the state superintendent's report. The total number of school houses is 5,187 of which 749 are sod, 195 brick, 4062 frame, 144 log and 37 are stone. The total number of boys enrolled is 152,124, and girls 145,882. The whole number of school districts is 5,564. Of this number 243 are graded. The plan of state education comprehends the graduation of pupils from the high schools directly in to the State University. There are 2,752 male teachers and 7,131 female teachers employed, the average monthly wages paid male teachers being $43.18, and female $35.54. The public schools are sustained from a local tax, a general state tax from the interest of the permanent school fund, from lease of school lands, interest from unpaid principal on school land sold and from certain fines and licenses. The land grants from the general government to the state form the basis of the educational funds. The total amount so granted amounted to 2,884,394 acres. Of this 162,051 acres have been deeded, leaving 2,722,347 acres still held by the state. The State University, located at Lincoln, is one of the best in the United States; no tuition is charged and the instruction and work is of the best. The other prominent institutions are the Nebraska Wesleyan university, the Cotner university, and the Convent of the Child Jesus, located at Lincoln; the Presbyterian college, at Hastings; the Central City college, at Central City; Creighton college and Brownell hall, at Omaha; Bellevue college, at Bellevue; Doane college, at Crete; and the State Normal school at Peru. There are several other good colleges in different parts of Nebraska which our lack of space forbids mentioning. They are so distributed that in any portion of the state the means of higher education are easily accessible to all.

STATE AND BENEVOLENT INSTITUTIONS.

   A pleasing feature of life in Nebraska is the sympathy evinced for the afflicted in the many humane institutions, established both by the State government and by private benevolence. Some of the most prominent of these are as follows: The Nebraska Asylum for the Insane, built by the State at a cost of $275,000, located a short distance south of Lincoln. It is a handsome and commodious structure with well kept grounds and pleasing surroundings. Another State Asylum for the Insane is located at Norfolk. It also has fine substantial buildings. the main structure being a brick and stone edifice with suitable wings. The whole is well equipped and cost $167 000. The Nebraska Asylum for the Incurable Insane has been erected by the State at Hastings and is an ornament to the city. The Nebraska Institute for the Blind is located at Nebraska City. Liberal provisions has been made by the State for the support of this excellent institution. The Nebraska Institute for the Deaf and Dumb is situated near the northwestern limits of Omaha. Three fine suitable brick buildings, surrounded by handsome grounds, afford accommodations sufficient for 150 pupils. It is free to all deaf mutes of school age in the State. The value of the property is $115,000. The Nebraska Institute for Feeble Minded Youth Is located just east of Beatrice, where all suitable provision is made for the care and education of those unfortunates. The Industrial Home for Women is also a State Institution located at Milford. The building cost $15,000. The Home of the Friendless, at Lincoln, another State institution, cost $28,000. The State Reform School, at Kearney, is an important means of reforming wayward youth. Besides the main building which is a fine brick structure that cost $60,000, there are two work shops that cost $15,000 each. The school rooms, dormitories, play grounds, etc, are well adapted to the purposes of the institution. There are 300 inmates. The Nebraska state penitentiary, although a penal institution, to not only for the punishment of crime, but also for the reformation of criminals. It is located a few miles south of Lincoln. The building cost $575,000. Besides these institutions, there is another at Grand Island, sustained by the state government which has the sympathetic approval of every patriot. It is the Soldiers and Sailors Home, where the invalided defenders of the nation are comfortably provided for. The building cost $30,000. The Creche or Day Nursery, is sustained by an association of ladies of Omaha. It is a place where small children are cared for and taught while their mothers are employed away from home during the day. The Educational Orphans Home at Lincoln is sustained by private contributions. Orphans are here supported and educated until able to maintain themselves. The Open Door is a home for the reclamation of girls who have gone astray. It is sustained by the Women's Christian Temperance Union of Omaha. The Women's Christian Home, for the care of aged and helpless women, is under the care of the Women's Christian Association of Omaha. The Young Women's Home is located at Omaha. While this excellent home is benevolent it is not a charitable institution, as the young ladies pay for their boarding and are surrounded by the influence of a Christian home. It is under the auspices of the Women's Christian Association.

RAILWAYS.

   Among the various influences at work in the development of the resources of the state perhaps none have been more potent than the establishing of the great network of railways intersecting and interlacing one another, and rendering nearly every portion of the state accessible to the great markets of the world. According to a recent report of the State Board of Equalization, the railroad mileage of Nebraska is 5,167 miles; average assessed value per mile $5,788.42; total assessed valuation, $29,854 221.05, representing, it is said, over $166,000,000 in actual cost. The Union Pacific Railway a a splendid monument to railway skill, foresight and enterprise. With its advent in 1861 civilization marched with conquering strides across the vast plains and mountains of the central west, and our great land, from the Atlantic to the Pacific was bound together with bands of steel and cords of interest and patriotism never to be severed. The headquarters of the Union Pacific Railway system are located at Omaha. Of the main line from Council Bluffs to Ogden, 464 miles are in Nebraska. The branches in Nebraska are Columbus and Sioux City, 126 miles; Colum-

   The Burlington and Missouri River Railroad is a magnificent system and covers a vast amount of Nebraska territory; its lines constitute nearly onehalf of the railroad mileage of the state. Its connections are wide-spread and extend over an area of 2,778 miles. This road was organized in Nebraska in 1869. and is an extension of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad, under the same management. Nearly all of the important towns and cities in Nebraska are reached by this system, especially throughout the eastern, southern, central and western portions of the state, There are two main lines, one from Chicago and Omaha to Denver, the other from St Louis and Kansas City to Denver, the two lines meeting at Oxford Junction. The distance from Plattsmouth via Omaha to the Colorado line is 388 miles; and that of the Kansas City line from Rulo to Oxford Junction, 248 miles. The branches in Nebraska are: Nebraska City to Holdrege, 244 miles; Cheyenne branch, from Holdrege to the Colorado line, 163 miles; the Nebraska City and New Castle, Wyoming, branch, Nebraska City to the South Dakota line, 500 miles; Atchison and Columbus branch, Table Rook to Columbus, 138 miles; Oreapolis to Ashland, 26 miles; Ashland to Schuyler, 50 miles; Linden and Wymore branch, Crete to Lanham, 58 miles; Fairmont to Chester, 48 miles; Falls City to Nemaha, 25 miles; Superior to Edgar, 28 miles; Amboy to Hastings, 37 miles; Hastings to Aurora, 28 miles; Aurora to Arcadia, 89 miles; Palmer to Burwell, 69 miles; Greeley to Ericson, 18 miles; Kenesaw to Kearney, 25 miles; Republican and Orleans branch, Republican to Kansas line, 10 miles; Orleans and St. Francis branch, Orleans to Kansas line, 62 miles; Culbertson to Beverly, 9 miles.

   The Missouri Pacific Railway system, although most extensive in its connections - total 5,094 miles - covers but little of Nebraska territory. Its connections are principally in Kansas, Missouri, the South and the Southwest. Its branches in this state are: Omaha Belt line, 15 miles; Omaha to Kansas state line, 122 miles; Auburn to Lincoln. 76 miles; Talmage to Crete, 58 miles; Prosser to Kansas line, 64 miles. These traverse some of the finest lands and richest cities in the state.

   The Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley Railroad is the Nebraska extension of the Chicago & Northwestern Railway. Its main line and Black Hills extension are assisting greatly in the development of the northern part of the state, while its branches are valuable facilities to the eastern portion. Main line, Blair to Long Pine, 238 miles; Black Hills line, Long Pine to South Dakota line, 463 miles; Wyoming line, Dakota Junction to Wyoming line, 57 miles; York and Hastings line, Omaha to Hastings, 163 miles; Wahoo and Lincoln line, Platte River Junction to Lincoln, 45 miles; Seward and Superior line, Linwood to Superior, 123 miles; Albion line, Scribner to Oakdale, 115 miles; Niobrara line, Norfolk Junction to Verdigre, 54 miles; Irvington to South Omaha, 11 miles.

   The Chicago, St Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha Railway is an important road for Nebraska. The products of the vast lumber regions of Minnesota and Wisconsin, and the Northwest generally, are transported over this road to this state, especially to Omaha. It also is under the control of the Chicago & Northwestern Railway. It extends from Sioux City to Omaha 127 miles; Coburn Junction to Ponca, 16 miles; Emerson to Norfolk, 46 miles; Wakefield to Hartington, 34 miles, and Wayne to Randolph, 22 miles The road from Norfolk to Sioux City is also operated as a branch of the Union Pacific system.

   The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway. This great system is extending its roads in Nebraska and is now constructing a line from Omaha via Lincoln to Beatrice, a distance of 100 miles, where it will connect with its line from St. Joseph to Denver and Pueblo, which enters the state near Du Bois, passes via Beatrice and Fairbury to the Kansas line near Thompson, a distance of 79 miles. A branch also runs from Fairbury to Nelson, 51 miles.

NEBRASKA STATE GAZETTEER AND

   The Pacific Short Line Railway has recently been completed from Sioux City to O'Neill, a distance of 130 miles, and was opened for travel and traffic, July 1st, 1890. Its construction is being pushed forward rapidly from O'Neill westward.

   The Atchison, Topeka& Santa Fe Railroad enters Nebraska at Superior, where it connects with the Burlington & Missouri and the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley Railway systems.

   The Sioux City % Northwestern Railway is in course of construction through the northeastern counties, from Covington to Niobrara, whence it is proposed to cross the Niobrara river near its mouth, and to follow Ponca creek to the state line, thence westward through South Dakota to the Black Hills.

   The Kearney & Black Hills Railway has been completed recently from Kearney, in Buffalo county, to Callaway, in Custer county, a distance of about 65 miles. Preparations are being made to continue its construction towards the northwest.
