He took up the task and overcame what to most fathers would have been insur mountable barriers. At the death of hia wife, Mr. Windham prepared a. book of memoirs and presented it t hia family with the following beauti ful introduction: This life is one stupendous pan orama.

He was actually a part of the west and through him and by him lines of civilization were strength ened and advanced. "Mr. Windham was a true patriot. He believed in his country, and lived for it, and offered his life to preserve its integrity. During the days of the earlier part of the Civil war he was active in the spread of patriotic fer vor, and before he was old enough to enter the army he got into the militia of the state and in the year 1864 entered the army. He was as signed to Co. K, 46 th Iowa infantry and served under Col. David B. Hen derson, later a congressman from Iowa and speaker of the national house of representatives. His ser vice extended through western Ten nessee and northern Mississippi. "After the war he found pleasure in taking any part assigned him in his country's need. Here in Nebras ka, he was active in the organiza tion and continuance of the Grand Army of the Republic. He loved his country, thought her honor worth dying for and her flag worthy of his best service. "Mr. Windham was a community leader. He felt himself a part of the eountv and state in which he lived He cave of his service and counsel to the problems of the community and in every case his service was un stinted and his counsel timely. "ITDon his return to Plattsmouth after the war, he began the study of law with Hon. Samuel Maxwell, who was later supreme judge of the state and after completing his studies here took an advanced course in the Uni versity of Michigan. After complet ing his studies he returned to Platts mouth and In the fall of 1873 openea an office in his own name. As lawyer his ability was pronounced his integrity above reproach, and his services in demand. He was several times city attorney and handled much extensive litigation. He was the corporation lawyer for hi3 home city under five administrations and made the first revision of its ordi nances,- For 20 years he was the ef ficient president of the Cass County Bar association. "Law, with him, was more than a profession; it was a calling. His de votion to thi3 calling was one of more than ordinary consequence, for it meant more than a means of liveli hood; it meant a chance to serve his people. -In -this service ideals were never sacrificed but always cham pioned. , The best things for the community were in his mind while he gave his legal advice. Platts mouth is a better city for having had the legal counsel and services of so skilful and noble a lawyer as R B. Windham. "And, then, he was an influential political figure. He was a member of the 15th, 16th and 17th sessions of the state legislature; elected to tne Z8th for an unexpired term and re-elected to the 29th session; elect ea again to the 37th session and served further In the 38th and 39th special sessions. He occupied the no sition of speaker pro-tem in the 16th ana 29th sessions and was a member of the Judiciary committee. Lrovernor Nance commissioned him as a member of the Mississippi River Improvement Commission, and ouvernor ueorge u. sneiaon com missioned him to the National River and Harbor congress in Washington in isuy. "Mr. Windham was named In 1900 by the voters his state as one of the presidential electors, in which capac ity ne cast nis vote for McKinley and Roosevelt, Two yeara later he was urged to enter the race for governor. but declined the honor because of the great sorrow that came to him in the death of his beautiful and ac- compnsned wife. He was also a member of th trustees who managed state institu tions and here his counsel was of un usual value. . Probably his most active nominal campaigning was during the days of Roosevelt's prominence, whose ad mirer he was and whose life he be lieved in, havine the honor tn ini rn duce and entertain Mr. Roosevelt on several occasions. It is difficult, to estimate fha in fluence of a man with so nrominent a career , as this, but it can be said with all modesty that he was one of Nebraska's most noble sons and most devoted servants and withal his po litical record is worthy, of emula tion and without regard to political party, it was a lasting service for (good to his state. L e was also a noble father. He iiV I .,? ine nome a8 elemental in I 2 .bu!ld,ng: loved hls family and had to be both father and mother for many years. "In the year 1879.

" 'Your mother has passed oeyonu the shifting scenes of life into a more beautiful existence where she peace fully rests awaiting your coming. No gloom, no sadness, no sorrow, no weariness, no pain, no sighs are hers, and the only tears will be those of Joy when the greeting comes after we have laid down the burdens of an earthly existence. Sunshine and shadow are ours; the unchanging "blissful light of the Savior's counte nance is hers. ' " 'Some of you are old enough to know and appreciate the many vir tues possessed by your mother, and that the others may be more fully impressed with them in their maturer years and that you all may be fre quently reminded of her noble char acter and beautiful life, and that it may not fail to be a constant in spiration to you in battling with the difficulties of this life that must surely come, I dedicate these pages with the desire that you read them at least once a year.

At the Auburn game on Friday evening, the Plattsmouth team won by the score ot 10 to 9, an extra pe riod being necessary to decide the battle and in which Joe Buttery con verted a free throw into the needed point. The game at Peru Prep Saturday night was also closely fought and both teams played a splendid de fensive battle but both were seem ingly unable to locate the basket ef fectively. For the Plattsmouth team George Rebal secured all but one of the points for his team. The result of the game was 6 to 5 and gave the Plattsmouth five a clean sweep for their trip.
