SCHUYLER, the county seat of Colfax county, and a solidly prosperous town of some 2,700 inhabitants, the majority of whom are Bohemians. It is a local point on the Union Pacific Ry, 76 miles from Omaha. The B. & M. also has a line here from Lincoln. The surrounding country is closely cultivated and produces large crops. The land is well watered by the adjacent Platte river, and is good grazing land. Schuyler has large sorghum sugar works, flouring mills, a brewery, three banks of high standing and conservative methods, two good hotels, and four good newspapers. The Schuyler Loan & Trust Co. has done much toward building up the city, which now presents many really fine business blocks for a town of its size. The Schuyler National Bank building deserves especial mention on account of its beautiful and substantial appearance. The schools are spacious structures and amply supply the wants of the community. The court house is a substantial building, the roads and walks are well kept, and the water works, just completed at a cost of some $27,000, were planned and built with a view to the city's growth. The churches are Holy Trinity Episcopal, Presbyterian, Methodist Episcopal, Roman Catholic. The Adventist and German Lutheran denominations are also represented here and have good buildings.
