Few names have been more generally
known In Nebraska than that of Tobias
Castor. Ah right-of-way agent for tho II
& M. railway he has been actlvo In many
state enterprises and a conspicuous figure
at many legislatures, with an lnfluonco that
extended beyond party lines. As delegate
at-large to tho convention that nominated
Cleveland the last tlmo and as natlonnl
committeeman for that period he becamo
a pillar of the Nebraska' democracy, as
sociated with Dr. George L. Miller, J.
Sterling Morton, James E. Hoyd and others
of the old organisation. His "Lltllo Ulnck
Book" was locally famous as containing
the findings and work he did as the dis
tributor of patronage under President
Cleveland.
In 1S96 he headed the Palmer and Buck
ner electoral ticket, for he could not rec
oncile himself to tho stiver theories of
the nryan faction, find since that year
haB held aloof from the new democracy.
The nature of his death recalls the
sertoiiB attack of heart trouble that he
experienced In the summer of 1839, when
he was Incapacitated two months.

Wna In Apparent Good llrnlth,
LINCOLN. Dec. 12. (Special Telegram.)
Tobias Castor of this city, chief rlght-of
way agent of the Burlington railroad and
for many years a prominent flguro In Ne
braska politics, died suddenly of heart fail
ure on a Burlington train between Lincoln
and Havelock this morning. He left his
home this morning In apparent good health
and boarded tho 7:15 train for Omaha. In
which place he hod business to attend. Two
miles out of Lincoln death came without
warning. Mr. Castor was a. pioneer settler
in Saline county, but n few years ago re
moved to Lincoln.
Before tho Brynn element got control Mr.
Castor was ono of the leaders of tho demo
cratfc party In this state, and was national
lomraittreraan from 1892 to 189t, Inclusive
He owns considerable property in Sallno
:ounty, Lincoln and other places. His wife
ind two children, Churles Talmadge and
Will Castor, survive hlra. Ho was 68 years
sf aro. Tho body of the dead man wus re
moved from tho train at Havelock and
brought back to Lincoln. Funeral arrange
mcnts will be announced later.
Riding wjth Mr. Castor was J. C. Derby
cf this city, manager of tho Adakados
-Mining company, of which Mr. Castor wa
a stockholder. Ho said Mr. Castor was 1
nood spirits and as soon us tho train started
began to read a letter. Ho held tho letter
up in tho dim morning light and suddenly
lurched and fell against tho outside arm of
the seat. He sighed once or twlco and then
sank under the stroke. At Havelock Drs.
Holvlo and, McKlnnon were cnllcd. but by
that time life was extinct. It was their
vordlct that death came from heart fatlure
or apoplexy.
Judge A. S. Tlbbetts was also riding with
Mr. Castor. He said;
"Ho was apparently In the very best of
health. Ho got some letters nt his offlco
nnd began opening them as soon as ho got
on the train. We had Just obout reached
tho fair grounds when ho foil. At tho time
he was standing up in the aisle and had ex
tended his nrm a little so that ho might

reading. He fell heavily, across the arm of
the seat. I was sitting but two seats away
nnd when I reached him ho was breathing
heavily. In n few moments he was dead.

house. The family escaped with their lives,

In 1S77 Mr. Castor moved to Wllber.
where he became agent for the Townslto
compnny and It was there that his first
service with the Burlington railroad began.
The railroad company was Interested In the
disposition of the lots and his thorough
business qualities led to his being offered
n position as land examiner for the com
pany. In 1879 he was made ono of tho staff
of right-of-way men nnd In 1880 was given
run charge of that department. This posi
tion ho has held ever since and was one of
the most valued employes of the company.
In .1897 he engaged In the mercantile bus
iness In Wllber and later opened stores at
Indlanola and Benkleman, the management
of which fell later to his son,
Mr. Castor has been a staunch domocrat
all of his life and until the triumph of tho
silver wing brought new leaders to the fore
and retired the old wheelhortes, he was al
ways In the counsels of the strong men of
tho party. He served five years as sur
veyor of Saline county, In 1888 was elcctod
county clerk and also served one term ns
county treasurer, by nppolntment. In 1S92
hu was elected national committeeman for
Nebraska and held in his hands almost the
sole disposition of patronage under Presi
dent Cleveland. He was a strong gold dem
ocrat nnd was prominent In supporting tho
cause of that wing of the democracy while
It was In existence. Since 189S, however,
he hus not been nctlve In politics,

With the bulldln of a depot at or nenr

across the tracks will be built. This mat
ter was mentioned nt the conference of ofll-

steps leading up. It Is hardly probable that

arc a large number of full-page plates
of landscapes taken In the vicinity of Arbir

Morton at Nebraska City. Such views as
these cannot fall to lmnress all who re

with the beautiful scenery, which must
