INFOKMATIOS AND OPINIONS.
.An old time railroad man in speak
ing of the killing of Engineer Frank
Hepburn of Chester, Ark., said: "Of
course you remember Frank Hepburn,
who had ju3t been set up from a fire
man to an engineer by the B. & M.
officials at the time . of the famous
strike on that road and he went out
with the strikers. He was a good,
noble hearted man, and ever re.dy to
do a man a good turn, but very impul
sive. I always believed that he was
one of the men who assaulted old man
Brown, one of the engineers that took
the place of the strikers, and beat him
up so badly that for a time his his life
was dispaired of. "
Mr. Shellenberger returned from the
state fair with a voice like a fog horn.
He says he tried to convert a car load
of gold bugs, and left them bleeding on
the field of battle. It is this way all
over the state. When a man tries to
talk silver, he finds about forty-nine
other people in his car against him.

It is a fact that the people who are
best acquainted with Mr. Bryan's are
not supporting him. Mr. Bryan is not
an entirely charming person, although
it is true that he is a man of good
character, an excellent citizen, and
the possessor of all the negative vir
tues; he doesn't drink, smoke or chew,
for instance, nor does he sit up all
night at poker parties, or go around
town at midnight throwing rocks at
people's doors. He is an extremely
moral man. And yet he i9 more res
pected than beloved; he has shown
throughout his campaign that he is as
headstrong and cranky as an old
maid; he is an ardent lover of ap
plause; the cheers from the galleries
or the grand stand are as incense to
him; and he is all for Mr. Bryan, yes
terday, today and forever. If you
could read his inmost heart as he
waxes eloquent before a crowd, you
would find written there, "Bryan first,
the country afterward, as Bloody
Queen Mary said that the "word
"Calais"would be found on her heart.
He cares no more for the horny-handed
laboring man than does the scented

In a recent letter to the manufac

A Social Afternoon.
The social quiet of our city was
broken Thursday afternoon by a most
delightful "Kensington" given by
Mrs. B. Elson and Mrs J. N. Summers
at the home of Mrs. Eison. The always
attractive home was rendered still
more so by the charming decorations.
The dining room being a veritable
bower of beauty smilax, roses and
nasturtiums blended together in
charming profusion. The punch bowl
was presided over by the Misses Bar
bara Gering, McElwain and Elsor,
while Mrs. Kempster, of Denver, de
lighted the guests with vocal and in
strumental music. Conversation and
fancy work occupied a portion of the
afternoon, after which an exercise ras
introduced involving the sense of
sight, smell and taste a prize being
awarded to the contestant. Miss
Minnie Beins captured the king prize
and Mrs. Travis the booby prize.
The refreshments being in the na
ture of a peach luncheon ad every
thing in harmony, the guests were in
formed that they would find their
name and place at table in a peach,
and many were the conjectures as to
the quantity of peaches necessary to
be devoured before one's cognomen
might be discovered. The afternoon
passed all too rapidly, and each guest
departed with a delightful memory of
the afternoon of Sept. 17, 181)6.
The guests were Mesdames Helps,
Kempster, BurtonFricke, F. D. Lehn
hoff, sr., Burgess, Sullivan, Pepper
berg, Pickett, Wilson, Unruh, John

Obituary Notice.
Mrs. Joseph Plansburph, whose
death was mentioned in these column
yesterday, was born in Saratoga
county, New York in 1815. Up to last
Friday she was in robust health and
was remarkably well for a person of
her age. She was of a most kindly
disposition and had been a usefu
member of the Methodist church for
over half a century. Her first bus
band died fifty years ago and her last
one is in very poor health and must
soon join her on the other shore. Six
children survive her David Woodard

Mrs. Ed. Dudley, Hitchcock county
Mrs. E. B. Perry, of this city, and
Martin Flansburg of Lincoln. For
twenty-three year Mrs. Flansburgh
had been a resident of this county and
leaves many friends to mourn her de
mise. The funeral took place from
the family residence in the Third
ward this afternoon and the inter

A Democratic Opinion.
S. L. Geisthardt returned yesterday
from a three weeks trip through the
east. He visited Philadelphia, New
York, Boston, Providence and Chi
cago, besides many smaller places. He
reports that Bryan finds no favo
through that section. The people all
inquired about him and expressed dis
approval. In New York Mr. Geist
hardt did not see a Bryan and Sewell
banner, while McKinley and Hobart
banners were fluttering in nearly
every street". Four old class mates
who live iu Boston ana became demo
crats in '84, are this year workinc for
McKinley. From what Mr. Geisthardt
saw of Ohio he thought the claims of
the demo-pops that they would carry
that state are illfounded. Slate

Will Remove to Oregon,
The many friends of A. B. Taylor,
one of the earliest and studiest of Cass
county pioneers will regret to learn of
his intention to move to Oregon in the
spring, lie has rentod bis 360 acre
farm to J. W. Conn for $3 per acre
cash rent and will store his household
gcods in part of his farm house until
he gets settled in Oregon if he and
his wife like that country when they
will send for them. We are inclined
to the belief, however, that Andy will
return to his first love after a few
month's residence on the Pacific coast.

A Report From Iowa.
S. B. Snyder of Council Bluffs
nmnnir tha attorneVS who had
business before the supreme court yes
terday. While Mr. Snyder was in the
city, he was asked by The Journal
about the reports concerning deserts
from the republican ranks in his city,
and county. In reply Mr. Snyder said:
"The republicans havo lost very few
of their former adherents in compari
son with those who abandoned other
parties to join the advocates of sound
money and good government. Council
Bluffs is the home of many railroad
employes who are democrats, but they
realize that under the proposed silver
standard they would be paid in depre
ciated money with no prospect of an
increase in wages, and they are there
fore in favor of McKinley. .Some of
our wholesale merchants who sup
ported Cleveland, are very active in
their opposition to Mr. Bryan's plat
form. They extended credit at prices
fixed by the gold standard and cannot
afford to take the chances of being
paid in debased currency.
"Large numbers of prosperous Ger
man democrats are depositors in bank,
or money loannrs. They want to be
paid in the same kind of money they
deposited. They are loyal citizens and
love their country better than their
party, and most of them are pro
nounced opponents of free coinage.
The former democratic German voters
will swell the republican irajorities in
the leading cities of Iowa, as well as
in many country precincts. In Minden
precinct, Pottawattomie county, where
the republicans seldom poll more than
eighteen votes, there is now a McKin
ley club composed of seventy-five
votes. The number of 'free silver re
publicans' in our city is insignificant.
Tho republicans of Council Bluffs are
extremely active. They have one of
the largest and most finely uniformed
republican clubs in the west. The
sound money majority in Iowa will ex
ceed 80,000."
