Few men have passed away so uni
versally mourned as Sara Barker. He
was one of the men of whom it could
be truly said "'he had no enemies."
Everyone who knew him, knew him
to sing his praises. His death remov
ed a most excellent citizen. The old
pioneers of Nebraska all remember
this good man and have naught but
the best and kindliest of words for
him. Along with Frank S. White, an
other most excellent man and W. D.
Jones, also one of the best of early
Nebraska pioneers, he made history
in Nebraska and they feel his demise
particularly.
During his early and middle age
Mr. Barker was an uncompromising
Republican in politics, but in the year
1896, he left that party and Joined
the ranks of the Democracy, or
rather, the "silver Republicans," be
ing a stanch supporter of William J.
Bryan for the presidency. He re
mained a faithful follower of this
statesman's policies until the end, and
was personally well known by Mr.
Bryan. Always a man with pro
nounced views Mr. Barker chose his
course as ho believed to be right and
in his death he departed with the
highest esteem of thoso with whom
he differed.

The Proof That the Plattsmouth.
Readers Cannot Deny.
What could furnish stronger evi
dence of the efficiency of any remedy
than the test of time? Thousands ot
people testify that Doan's Kidttej
Pills cure permanently.
Home endorsement should prov
undoubtedly the merit of this remedy.
Years ago your friends and neighbors
testified to the relief they had de
rived from the use of Doan's Kidney
Pills. They now confirm their testi
monials. They say time has complet
ed the test.
J. B. Patridge, Eighth street,
Plattsmouth, Neb., says: "I suffered
almost constantly from pains across)
my loins and kidneys and at times 1
was in a bad way. On several occas
ions I was so badly crippled that I
could only get about with the aid ot
two canes. The first box of Doan's
Kidney Pills, procured from Gerlng
& Co.'s drug store, helped me so
greatly that I continued taking tho
remedy and it brought me entire re
lief. It would be impossible for ma
to speak too highly of Doan's Kidney
Pills."
The above statement was given la
June, 1906, and on December 29,
1908, Mr. Patridge snlrt: "I will en
dorse Doan's Kidney Tills highly. I
willingly renew the statement I gare
over two years ago in their favor."

Good Advice.
Older people having a long ex
perience in world's affairs can always
give you a good advice, especially in
cures of sickness. Our own experi
ence proved that in stomach and
bowel troubles we can always recom
mend Trlner's American E'.ixlr of Bit
ter Wine. It strengthens the stomach
and makes it able to do its regular
work. The stomach will then accept
enough nourishment and will help in
he digestion, which will be completed
in the bowels. New blood is the re
sult of such a thorough digestion. It
quickly fills all veins. Use Trlner's
American Elixir of Bitter Wine when
you are weak, easily tired, without
appetite, when you will have some
trouble after eating, nausea, vomit
ing spells, when you will be nervous,
despondent, when your sleep will be
disturbed. This remedy contains only
red wine and bitter herbs. Use it at
the first symptoms. At drugstores.

The above is a true picture of one
of Cass county's best and most esti
mable men. Samuel Barker whoso
picture Is shown above sank into rest
on January 2, 1910. at the ripe age
of 79 years, 10 months and 10 days.
He was a Nebraska pioneer and prob
ably did more for the upbuilding of j
Cass county and eastern Nebraska
than any individual in this section.
lie was a pioneer cattleman and in
the days when the cattle business was
the leading industry of this Bectlon,
Samuel Barker was the ono man who
made it a specialty. He made money
In a great abundance and being a
man with a largo and open heart, he
spent , it with a prodigality seldom
equaled throughout this section. His
later .years were passed in compar
ative seclusion at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. William Wetenkamp,
where the curtain dropped upon his
life.
Samuel Barker was born in Bur
ton Road, England, on Febru
ary 22, 1830, and he made his
residence In that country until 1852,
when he came to America. In the year
1851, he entered into the bonds of
holy wedlock and when he came to
America he was accompanied by his
wife. He located In New York state
and remained there for two years,
coming to Henry county, Iowa, in the
year 1854, where he lived until the
death of his wife in the year 1856.
Mrs. Barker passed to the Great Be
yond on July 17th, of that year.
After Mr. Barker's emigration to
this state he was united in marriage
to Mrs. Lydla M. J. Dwyer on August
16, 1857, in Plattsmouth. This most
estimable lady preceded him into the
Unknown Land on March 16, 1892.
Of the union with Mrs. Dwyer seven
teen children were born, of whom
twelve were boys and five girls. Of
all these thirteen are now living, four
of the boys having followed their be
loved mother into rest.
Wuen ".r. writer came to Nebras
ka he located first upon Salt Creek,
and proceeded to engage in freight
ing across the plains to Denver, then
the Bcene of a great mining excite
ment and a live community. Of Mr.
Barker's many adventures and exclt
ing experiences there are no end of
tales and during his lifetime he was
brim full of remlnlscenses of the early
days of Nebraska and Colorado. Tho
freighting business continued, to be
his work until the late sixty's when
he retired from that Industry and en
gaged in farming and stock raising,
locating in Mt. Pleasant precinct in
this county. In the year 1869 ho re
moved to this city and took up the
stock business, buying and selling
cattle throughout the middle west.
One year later or in the year 1870,
Mr. Barker removed to his farm In
Eight Mile Grove precinct, where he
contlnuod to reside until the year
1903. In the last mentioned year he
made a return trip to his old home in
Nerry, England, being accompanied
on the trip by his son, E. H. Barker
After his return from the trip acroBS
the ocean, Mr. Barker retired from
farming and made his home with his
children, being a guest of his daugh
ter, Mrs. William Wetenkamp, when
the Great Summons came.
The funeral of this excellent citizen
took placo today (Thursday) from
the home of hla daughter Mrs. Wcten
