In the passing of Amsdel Sheldon, 94. at his home Friday afternoon, there was removed from the earthly scenes one of the early settlers who came here from New England to help make Cass county and to have more than usual a part in the ccm- munity lfie. Mr. Sheldon was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Joel Sheldon, who represented iMirrp-P.-i ritizenshiD that had tiiv -ao"- made our nation free and independ ot in thp revolutionary war. He wna 1mm in Windsor county, Ver mont, September 27, 1S39 and spent his boyhood in that state and where in the surroundings of the strong character building community ne acquired that stability that later was to carrv him to a successful life. In 1869 Mr. Sheldon came to Ne braska where his brother, Hon. Law- son Sheldon had settled near Ne- hawka and Mrs. Sheldon secured a fine farm in Berlin precinct in Otoe county and where he resided for a great many years, coming to the present homestead near Avoca in 1SS4. He. had since resided there and was a loved and honored figure n the community. Mr. Sheldon represented to the fullest the highest ideal of citizen- hip and with the wisdom and fore- si ght that had marked the early resi dents of the community. Personally of a most delightful personality Mr. Sheldon made friends of all with whom he came in contact and In his going will be missed by the residents of his home community. Mr. Sheldon was married on Sept ember 7, 1874 in Otoe county to Miss Celia Ellis, who is surviving him as well as the three children, Mrs. C. R. Tefft of Weeping Water. Miss Esther Sheldon at home, and Lucian Sheldon, residing in New York. HAS AUTO WRECK This noon a serious auto accident occurred on highway No. 75, north of this city when a car driven by Vernon Curtis - of Stella, Nebraska, ran into one of the Mrasek trucks which was driven by John Gallo-w-ay. Mr. Curtis, who works in Omaha, was on his way home south to Stella and evidently hacr gone to sleep as the first that he realized of the acci dent was when he recovered con sciousness and was lying on the pav ing, having been hurled through the windshield of his car. He suffered severe gashes on the right arm as well as on the face and scalp and also complained of bruises on the side, indicating a fractured rib. In the truck at the time of the accident was Ermin Galloway, who suffered a very bad laceration of the scalp and a deep, wound on the head as well as minor cuts and bruises. The injured men were brought back to-this city in the truck and cared for at the offices of Dr. R. P. Westover and Dr. T. P. Livingston. HELPING ORGANIZE CLUB Mrs. J. P. Jensen, Blair, one of the active women democratic leaders of the state was in Plattsmouth Wed nesday afternoon for a meeting at the court house where she took up the matter of the organization of a Burke-for-Senator club. There were some fifteen ladies present at the district court room and a short talk was given by Mrs. Jensen urging the organization of the club and the Bupport of the Om aha congressman for the position of United States senator.

The Journal, Plattsmouth, Nebr. Gentlemen: Havine had oDnortunity in trav- eling over our state to test public sentiment I find wherever I go that a majority of the voters regardless of party affiliation are in favor of and are going to. vote for Honorable Charles W. Bryan for United States Senator, and why should they not do so? In his many years of fatihful service to the people of this state in cluding six years as governor, he has always worked to help the farmer and working classes. He has stood for the majority of the people all the time. Since has been governor legisla tion has been enacted making pos sible the great power and irrigation plants now being financed by the federal government; a mortgage moratorium has beon provided; a state board of conciliation has been created; the interest rate has been reduced; the state government ha? been brought to a high state of effi ciency; the deficiency judgment law has been repealed; automobile li censes have been, reduced more than one-half; taxes-have been reduced approximately 16 million dollars a year; there is no deficit and the cap itol building and our wonderful road system are paid for; Nebraska has no bonded debt and an old age pen sion law has been enacted. All of the above measures wera advocated by Governor Bryan to pro tect the people. . Surely this record justifies our sending him to the Unit ed States senate. Yours truly, - HENRY, MEIERJURGEN. FRENCH CABINET WILL LIVE Paris. "Papa" Gaston Doumergue saved the "trues cabinet." of which he is premier, by compelling quar reling ministers to put aside their political hatreds for at least three months. The veteran premier waved the big stick freely, bringing to terms former Premier Andre Tardieu, whose accusations against radical socialists, the narty of his fellow cabinet member,, Edouard Ilerriot started the row last week. The radical socialists, Ilerriot said after Tuesday's meeting, will accept Doumergue's Deace dan. calling for both men to remain in the cabinet, and refer the controversy to the party for settlement in October. The cab inet thu3 is assured of at least three more months of life, altho some quar ters expressed the view that "the real truce is ended." J. R. Reeder .
