VISITS II FORMER PIONEER
RESIDENT OF PLTOOUTH
And She Relates an Incident of
tlte Early Period, Which Is Still
Fresh in Her Memory.
The writer visited Mrs. Amanda
Young, the aged widow of John
Young, deceased, a former pioneer
citizen of Plattsmouth, at her
home in Maryville, Missouri, last
Sunday, and she inquired con
cerning many of the pioneers of
this locality. Mrs. Young's hus
band and herself settled on the
claim where the "Young & Hayes"
addition now lies, coming here In
1856, when the Indians were
numerous in this end of the
county.
Mrs. Young saw ten years of
pioneer life here and is a very In
terest ing talker. She recalled the
incident when three of the claim
holders near Plattsmouth were
missing from their claims, ami
later their bodies were found in a
well. The men who committed
the murder to get their claims
were, captured and tried by I lie
committee entrusted with the duty
and sentenced to death. One of
the convicted men had an Indian
squaw for a wife and two chil
dren, half-breeds, a boy and a
girl. The squaw man, after be
ing fold that his fate was sealed,
was allowed to arrange for (Iip
care of his children, and he ex
acted a promise from the com
mittee that his wife should be al
lowed to dispose of her belonging!"
and go to her tribe and thai the
children should be placed in
school and raised by white people.
The children were taken by a
prominent family to SI. Joseph
and placed in school. The girl
grew up to be a very beaut Hut
young woman, with refined ways,
while the boy was an Indian and
never yielded to gentler in
fluences of civilization.
The three murderers were
placed in boats and taken to the
middle of the Missouri river. Some
of the committee were religiously
inclined and suggested that Jhe
men be given a few minutes to
prepare for death. The prayer of
one of the condemned men was
remarkable for the ignorance dis
played by the suplieanl. After all
was in readiness the wretches
were lifted to the side of the boats
and tossed over into the stream,
and died a much easier death than
the unfortunate victims whose
claims they had jumped.
Mrs. Young is somewhat bent
with age, but possesses a remark
ably clear, strong intellect and
gets about well for her advanced
years.
Returns Hat.
Mrs. Carl Kopischka brought in
to Mrs. Norton's store Saturday
evening the hat for which a man
gave a forged check of H. The
man presented the hat to Mrs.
Kopischka's daughter, and when

Mrs. Kopischka immediately

Kills Large Bald Eagle.
Our farmer friend, James Tur
ner, had an experience Monday
noon which breaks all records in
Ibis vicinity for the capture of
large game fowls in a long time.
Mr. Turner was about his chores
about the barn when his attention
was drawn to a point off in the
pasture where he beheld a large
bald eagle making his noonday
meal on one of the large barn
yard drakes. Hurrying to the
house, Jim procured his shotgun
and loaded it with heavy shot.
Then he mounted a horse ana
rode ofT in the pasture toward a
bunch of horses to better deceive
the monster bird. Regardless of
this precaution the eagle took
flight and lit in a row of cotton
wood trees. Here Mr. Turner was
able to get closer to the bird by
riding out around and coming up
under cover of the eottonwoods.
Be soon picked his bird off the
limb and brought it to town,
exulting the while over his lucky
catch. The bird weighs eight ami
one-half pounds and measures six
feet and ten inches from tip to
tip. It will me mounted and pre
served as a relic by Mr. Turner.

LITTLE CHILD KILLED BY
AUTOMOBILE AT AVQGA
The Distressing Accident Occur
red Near Avoca Last Friday
Afternoon.
A sad accident occurred near
Avoca, which resulted in the death
of the little daughter of Tom
Sherfey, residing a half mile
north of the village. Mr. Mohr,
the saloonkeeper of Avoca, had
been away from the village in his
car and was returning when the
accident occurred while he was
going down a hill.
The child was playing in the
road with some other children,
and Mr. Mohr did all that he could
to stop the car, and hollowed at
the children to get on! of the
road, but before either the warn
ing or efforts to stop the machine
had availed the child was run
over, sustaining injuries from
which it died that evening.
Mr. Mohr, although the saloon
keeper, is not himself a drinker,
and is one of the best men in the
community, and signified his wil
lingness to do anything which he
could do to repair the loss. It
was finally settled between Mr.
Mohr and the parents that he
should give them $ iOO and pay
the funeral expenses, which is
much better for all concerned
than to litigate the matter at
great expense.
"The Famous Georgia Minstrels."
J. C. O'Brien's "Famous
Georgia Minstrels" arrived in the
city Saturday morning via the M.
P. from Nebraska City. They
pitched their tent on a lot west of
the Burlington tracks n in I south
of Main street. About 1 o'clock
they made a parade tip Main
street, and done the same thing
in the evening. Evidently our
people were not very favorably
impressed with I he outfit, as when
the doors opened for Hie evening s
performance but very few entered
therein. About 100, all told, was
the extent of the audience, ju
this was perhaps more patronage
than the show deserved. II was
a "rollcn" looking outtlt
throughout. The Creoles turned
out to be purely negroes. It was
nothing to be compared with the
Georgia Minstrels that showed at
the Parniele (heater a few weeks
ago, which we believe to be Hu
only original Georgia minstrels in
the country.
Visited Sioux City.
Mr. Joseph Reynolds, the genial
Burlington motor bicycle con
ductor, made a run up to Sioux
City, leaving Plattmnouth last
Saturday noon, and returned this
morning on the time of 88. Mr.
Reynolds arrived in Sioux City be
tween showers and left after the
rain was over, covering the dis
tance -between Sioux City and
Plattsmouth in record-breaking
time. Mr. Harry Beal acted as
sub at the Plattsmouth station In
the absence of the chief.

REV. L
HE, PASTOR. DELIVERS
A MOST INTERESTING SE10II
The Presbyterian Church Filled With a Large Audience, Who
Were Highly Pleased With the Sermon, and Declare it One
of the Best Ever Delivered in Plattsmouth.
The large auditorium of the
Presb.v terian church was crowd
ed with the many relatives and
friends of the graduating class of 1
1911 last evening and listened to
the eloquent baccalaureate ser
mon preached by Rev . L. W. Gade.
The church had been prettily
decorated for the' occasion by the
seniors with a generous use of
garden flowers and class penants.
At the commencement of the
services the class of DM1, num
bering twenty-seven, tiled in and
took their places. The services
were opened with the singing of
a familiar hyymn by the entire
congregation and an invocation
by Rev. Austin. This was follow
ed by a beautiful vocal solo,
"Father in Thy Mysterious Pres
ence," by Prof. Harry S. Austin,
after which the Mth to 31st verses
of the 25lh chapter of Matthew
was read by Rev. W. L. Austin. A
fine anthem by the choir preceded
the splendid and forceful sermon
delivered by Rev. Gade.
Rev. Gade took as his subject
"The Three I's Ideal, Inspira
tion and Integrity," and his text
was found in the 25th chapter of
Matthew and 21st verse and dwelt
at some length on the portion of
this verse reading "Well Done."
He then congratulated the mem
bers of this class on having
reached this point in their educa
tion, that of completing their
course in the High school, and
then said he hoped that in a few
years all would receive a degree
from some one of the many col
leges in this grand country of
ours. He then spoke of the ad
vantages in educational lines
which was offered lo the young
people of today, that of being able
to continue their education if they
only would, and to grasp the ser
mon of Rev. Gade's was an In
spiration to the students and close
attention was given by them
throughout the splendid dis
course. He said that it was the
glory of our country that it places
wilh in the reach of every one of
us the means and possibilities of
a thorough intellectual culture.
If any are left in. ignorance it Is
because I hey neglect the priv il
eges ami opportunities which pre
sent themselves. True intellectual
culture was one of the treasures
of wealth belonging to the in
dividual, which was imperishable
nnd which could iml be taken
away from us and that its value
to the world was incalculable. Man
is the more man as he develops
the higher faculties of his nature;
mid as certainly is he the less a
man as he degrades himself to the
plane of a mere physical pursuit
and sensual gral illcal ion. God
has endowed man with an intel
lect to tin. and cultivate by every
means within his reach and thus
elevate himself in the scale of be
ing. God did not endow man with
an intellect to hide in the earth
and that lie spend llie golden
moments of a lifetime in service
to the flesh. Whether as a sec
tion baud on a railway, or as the
chief engineer or manager of that
railway, or in whatever realm in
which man is called to devote bis
services, there is not one which
does not call for intelligence on
his part, and the more the better.
By his intelligence and personal
worth there is no burden of
humanity that he cannot relieve
and there is no calling that he
cannot ennoble. We must toil and
toil toward the ambition of our
life that wo may attain it, as Gar
field did and who rose from the
log cabin in the woods to a place
in the halls of legislation, and
finally to the president's chair
The life that succeeds, that
surpasses, that wins, must have
before it an ideal. "Aim at the
stars, and you may reach the
Ireetops," says one. You must
have a lofty ideal. "A man's reach
must exceed his grasp, or what's
heaven for?" You must place
your ideal far, far beyond you.
Your ideal, whatever it may be,
let it be as dear to your heart as
life itself. You must love your
ideal with something like the de
votion of the great Angelo, when,
in his youthful days ho loved to
caress the statue of Hercules.

Mrs. A. N. Sullivan. '
Never suffer anything to lower
your ideals, for, remember, that
when once lowered they depart,
and you never struggle after any
thing better.
There was Browning's "Andre
Del Sarlo." Andrea was a young
painter of Florence. He took his.
place among the great master
artists of his age, but he suffered
a lowering of his ideals and for
Andrea morning soon gave way to
noon and noon laded to twilight
and twilight hurried on tho mid
night of his soul. Follow your
ideal like a shadow by day and by
night.. Follow it steadily as the
wise men followed the eastern,
star. Let it be the better angel
of your nature, (he dominant pas
sion of your soul, ever leading to
the highlands of intellectual and
moral attainment.
Then followed a description of
the ideals of nations, in which the
speaker said that every nation
had its ideal -Egypt that of
building pyramids; Greece, beauty
and art, while the Roman empire's
ideal was that of power, conquest
and military glory. Continuing,
the speaker said what has been
true of nations is true of in
dividuals. Did you ever read the
"Memories of General Grant?" It
is great reading. You need to
read it. It will kindle your ardor
and put loyalty and enthusiasm
into your blood. It is the life
story of a man written by him
self, when his hand was weaken
ing and his life was stretching to
ward tho sunset. It contains the
great rebellion. You will not read
far until you stumble upon the
battle and (he storm, there are
clashing of arms, tramp, trampu
of mighty armies, and when the.
fire of battle that kindled the
night and died out, the smoke of
conflict that clouded the sun at
noonday is cleared away, Grant
stands erect, calm, majestic in his
mightiness. It is in his life's
story he tells us ol his youthful
ambition. It was during his first
year's encampment that General
Winfleld Scott came to West
Point and reviewed the cadets.
Willi his commanding figure, his
quite colossal size and showy uni
form, (Irani thought him the
finest speciiuau of manhood his
eyes had ever seen and the most
to be envied, lie snid, "I could
never resemble him in appear
ance, but I diii have a present
ment, for a moment, that some,
day I should occupy his place, on.
review, although I had no inten-.
lion then of remaining in the
army." General Scott was his
ideal, and here we see exhibited
llie powerful jnlluenee of an ideal
upon life. No doubt it. was that
which made Grant the greatest
geperal of Hie civil war.
I hen, atler discoursing upon
the necessity of inspiration as the.
second point necessary to succeed
in life's race, Rev. Gade look up
his third and last point, lie said
above every other quality you
must possess' moral uprightness.
Without integrity of character
and honesty of heart, instead of
proving a blessing to the world,
you may prove a curse. Remem
ber that mere intellectual culture
never did nnd never can establish
moral character. It never did ele
vate the morals of a people. Ia
fact, all history proves that the.
most enlightened period of a na
tion has often proved its most de
praved. Witness the reign ot
Solomon, of Augustus in Rome,
of the revolution in France, of
Elizabeth in England; Unless the
moral character of our youth is
held to be the chief object ot
educators, our beautiful govern
ment, which now looms up in the
horizon, will quickly become ft
mournful dream of llie nasi. The
great teacher said: "Blessed are
the pure in heart." "Keep thy
heart with all diligence, for out
of it are the issues of life." "As
a man thinkelh in his heart so
he is."
This delightful service was
closed wilh an exquisito vocal
duet, "Hark, Hark, My Soul," by
Mrs. Edna Eaton and Mrs. K. H.
Wescolt, which was given with
much taste and careful modula
tion. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Sherwood,
jr., were Omaha passengers on
the morning train today, where
they looked after business mat
ters for a few hours.
