From Tuesday's Daily
Cass county has the distinction of
having the champion corn grower of
the state, a master farmer and also
boasts the distinction of having with
in its confines the oldest resident of
the state of Nebraska, who is none
other than our old friend, David A.
Young, residing south of this city.
Although Mr. Young was born just
across the river in Mills county, Iowa,
he has lived in Nebraska since March
1S55, or longer than even Frank
Leachman, the oldest native son. Mr.
Young was four years of age when
his parents moved to Nebraska and
settled on the farm south of this city
where the father preempted a farm
and which is still in the Young fam
ily.
At first the Young family lived in
a tent on the land which was still
unbroken by the ploy of the white
man. until a temporary log cabin
could be erected to shelter the little
family and allowing the father to
go ahead with the work of break
ing the soil for this pioneer farm.
In 1856 the Young family erected
a new log cabin and which stands
on the old farm, a lasting monument
of the sturdy pioneers who came here
to settle this patr of the west.
With the exception of three years
in Knox county and three years in
Murray Mr. and Mrs. Young have
resided on the home place.
Mrs. Young is rso a native of
Iowa and has resided here since IS 65

GET RID OF DANDELIONS
The Burlington railroad is to rid I
their park near the local passenger
station of the bright hued and very
hardy dandelion and by most drastic
methods. The railroad has had a
small grass plot to the south of the;
station near the viaduct which in re-!
cent years has blazed with the bright
yellow flowers of the dandelions and
then the cotton like deposits of the
flowers, but it has been decreed that j
this shall cease. i
The railroad company is having
all of the sod and dirt to a depth of.
some six inches removed from the
park and which takes with it all of
the dandelion plants as well as the;
grass that has survived the battle
with the weed like plant and the de-;
posits of cinders which in the years
has laid a coating over the soil. The
company will have new dirt moved
in and be sowed to bluegrass and it
is hoped will give a much better re
sult. ' !
The parking on the west of the
station is also to be reseeded to
grass and a valiant fight staged there
against the inroads of the dandelion, i

W esleyan Chan
cellor Speaks at
the M. E. Church
"Young People and the Modern Day"
j Is the Topic of Very In
! spiring Address
From Wednesdays Dally
Last evening the Plattsmouth peo
ple hail the pleasure of having here
Dr. L. B. Schreckengast, chancellor
of the Wesleyan university at Lin
j coin, speaking at the special Holy
! week services of the Methodist
church.
The distinguished speaker, head of
one of the largest Methodist educa
tional institutions in the country,
should have had a packed house for
the very inspiring address that he
delivered and on a subject in which
he is well versed in his work along
the educational lines.
"Young People and the Modern
Day" was the subject of the address
and was one that covered a review
of the life and surroundings that the
modern day offered to the young
people of the nation. The speaker
defended the youth of today from the
claims of many as to their lackness
in the better things and discussed
the fact of the surroundings that
confronted the young people the na
tion over. In touching on modern
art the speaker told of the lasting
effect that he had gathered from a
picture of the "Last Supper which
'had hung in his family heme and cf
the modern display of the billboard
that confronted the youth with the
alluring pictures of the things that
were not calculated to make for the
better things of life, using as the il
lustration a bill board cigarette ad
vertisement. The speaker urged the
fortifying of the lives of the young
people with the proper religious back
ground that they might resist the
effects of the worldly teachings and
surroundings. As the healthy blood
stream enables the physical body to
throw off the effects of disease and
to resist the disease, so the religious
blood stream enables the youth to
reject and forget the less worthy
ideals that might be presented in
the dally contact of the world.
At the meeting tonight Rev. F. Q.
Brown who spoke here on Mr-.rch
3rd will be the speaker and on
Thursday evening Dr. Webster, form
er chaplain at the Methodist hospi
tal In Omaha will deliver the mes
sage. DRAWS A SMALL FINE
