The future capitol of Nebraska has been located at the town site known as Lancaster City, about 1 mile north of the point known as "Yankee Hill". The location seems to give general satisfaction.

Present and Future Prospects. Editorial. The new Capitol is located in nearly the central portion of the state, in one of the richest agricultural districts and within a stone's throw of the strongest saline water known to the world. Less than one year ago, the town site of Lincoln contained but one house and surrounding country sparsely settled - today upward of seventy buildings; with good hotel accommodations, a weekly newspaper, several fine stores, blacksmith shops, et. Railroads from almost every town on the Missouri via Lincoln to interest the Pacific Railroad at or near fort Kearny are projected and work to commence in the spring. Another railroad from Fort Riley, Kansas to the Pacific road via Lincoln is contemplated From six to twenty-five miles on each side of the Capitol may be found rich prairie land, which may be taken as homesteads, by residing upon same for five years and the payment of fourteen dollars and fifty cents.

Lincoln City

A number of vehicles loaded with citizens, provender, fishing tackle, liquid and pegs to stake off Lincoln City left town yesterday evening. The expect to be absent about a week, and when not engaged in town-making will amuse themselves by fishing, hunting etc.

Lincoln City

The Plattsmouth Herald says the location has been determined upon provided the parties owning the land make a good and sufficient title to the State on or before Friday of next week. That the title will be complete there is no reasonable doubt and then the official announcement will be made. It is a fact that this location was not the first choice of the people of Cass County. Plattsmouth is 2 miles nearer to it than any other city on the river and we can derive benefit from the location in proportion to the energy used in securing it. What we want is the trade of the surrounding country of the capitol City and the business which must be had by some river town previous to the construction of any railroad, and Plattsmouth should be the town to transport the necessary building material. The reported location of Lincoln City in the southwest corner of Sanders Co. as the Republican states is not correct but at the town formerly known as Lancaster in Lancaster county which is two miles nearer Plattsmouth than Nebraska City and seven miles nearer Plattsmouth than Omaha by air lines. Plattsmouth Herald.

Lincoln City located

Adjoining Lancaster on the south, in Lancaster county and is on an air Line:-- From nearest point on Union Pacific R.R. 38 miles. From Plattsmouth 45 miles. From Nebraska City 46 miles. From Omaha 50 miles. From Brownville 62 miles. Thus Omaha lacks only 38 miles of a railroad connection with the New Capitol and virtually the nearest point. Lincoln City is between Yankee Hill and the town of Lancaster, upon Sections 23, 25, and 26; Township 10, Range 6, in the beautiful and fertile valley of Salt creek and not too far from the great Olathe Rock Quarries.

Lincoln City

Past, Present and Future Prospects. The Capitol of Nebraska, one year ago last September had but one house made of wood; there were a few "dug outs". On the 14th of august, 1867, by an act of the Legislature, the Commissioner located the capitol at this point and now there are 196 good substantial buildings covered and six more being erected. The State House is a fine building, made of hewn stone from the Beatrice quarry, and will be ready for the use of the next Legislature. The plat contains about 1200 acres of high table lands and is surrounded by excellent wheat lands for forty miles. Nine of its principal streets are 120 feet wide, and all others 100 ft. The State has been very liberal in appropriating ten acres for the State House Square, ten acres to the University Place and ten to Lincoln Park and six blocks for schools in different parts of the City, besides on block each for the state Historical Society, market square, and the Court House. Also there is set apart three lots, fifty ft. by 134, free to any society that will erect a church edifice on them. Salt Creek runs through one side of the town and has a flouring mill in operation. The big salt basin is a mine of wealth within itself, there being an ostensible supply of the brine; it covers some 300 acres and is about 65% salt. A stock company have rented it for 20 yrs. and have 20 cauldrons in operation. The salt is considered to be of the finest crystallization. There are six stores, four groceries, one bakery, one cabinet shop, two paint shops, two livery stables, two meat markets, two lumber yards, five or six hotels and a bank, two churches, and a school house; two newspapers. There are two railroads surveyed to Lincoln; the County of Lancaster offers to the first road coming within a mile of the State House, $100,000 in bonds of the county.

Lincoln

The Capitol Building is nearly completed; the salt works are in active operation; and the U.S. Land Office has been removed from Nebraska City to Lincoln. The country is being rapidly developed and the City is building up with a rapidity that will soon make it the interior town of the State. Daily stages run in connection with the railroad from Nebraska City and Plattsmouth, and parties from Omaha can take a daily stage via Plattsmouth and arrive the same day.

The improvement of Lincoln is very marked, and buildings spring up like magic. Emigrants are coming in rapidly and "prairie schooners" are seen on all sides. At no time in the history of Nebraska has there been so much evidence of growth and prosperity.
