The union meeting of the Young People's societies of the city at the Christian church Sunday proved a great success. The weather was rather damn and cool, and the meet ing was held inside, instead of on the lawn. The church was tastefully dec orated with flag?, which mcde a good pettintr for the sneakers, whose themes were all mors or less of a patriotic nature. Philip Rhin, who is president of the Y. I. S. C. E. of the Christian church, was leader, and E. H. Wes- cott presided at the piano and the music was assuredly good. A number of appropriate hvmns were had at the opening of the meeting, followed by ji .nofifil iinmhtp liv I)on C. York. ine iMneiy aim ine. Th flnHsmniith board r,f edn.-a The invocation was by P. F.

He said he could in the time only touch on one, which was peace, and discuss ed it at some length.

SEARCHING FOR INDIAN RELICS IN CASS COUNTY Harvard University . Aepresentatives Here for Purpose of Researches for Indian Villages Buried. From Wednesday's Dally. There has been a great deal of in terest created in scientific circles ovc the finding in Cass county of many buried Indian villages, as well as th tools and implements used by the ancient people who settled this sec tion of the west, and numerou parties have conducted investigation along these lines with the result o securing much valuable informatioi as to the earlv tribes of Indians who made their homes along the Missour Valley. Saturday Prof. Sterns of llarvun university, together with a party of assistants, arrived to undertake the work of searching out a few of these buried villages in the hope that some thing of greater value to the store of knowledge of the early inhabitants might be elarned. The party went to Nehawka from here and will put in several days there in investigating the traces that have been found o the Indian tribes that formerly roam ed over the locality. There has been several mounds discovered there which have turned out to have been the marks of ancient Indian villages, and several stone implements and vessels have been unearthed that are prized very highly by the scientific world as representative of a race long vanished. The party from Harvard will also visit in the vicinty of Rock Bluffs, where the hills are rich with old relics of the long ago. Dr. i,. J I. tiiimore ot .Murray lias become quite interested in the 'matter of securing data on the early resi dents of Nebraska and has made several important finds near Rock Bluffs which will be further looked into by the scientific research party. On one of the hills near that place large mound has been located which as yet has not been explored, and this will be opened by the Harvard party that will be there Wednesday to start in on their work. The recult of the visit of the east ern party here will be watched with interest and their work will probably Jesuit in uncovering many interesting facts in relation to the Indians who inhabited this section of the state.

Care will The following account of the death of a grand, good man, whose friends ; are legion all over Nebraska, is taken from the Lincoln Star of Wednesday: I i Postmaster Francis W. Brown, i twice mayor of Lincoln and widely j known in democratic politics of Ne- j braska, died at 9:25 this morning at, the Lincoln hotel after an illness of several weeks' duration of a com-1 plication of diseases. In the death of Mr. Brown, Lincoln lost one who has' been prominently identified with the! development of Lincoln from the early; days. Mr. Brown took charge of the post office last November and continued in ' active charge until four weeks ago, when he was forced to take to his j bed. His condition gradually grewj worse until hope for his recovery was abandoned yesterday. Mr. Brown was! Gl years of age. ; Mrs. Brown and Frank W. Brown, ; jr., of Kearney, were at .Mr. IJrown s bedside when death came. Francis Wyatt Brown was born in Booneville, Mo., June Id", 1854, where his father was engaged in the mer cantile and banking business for many- years. The family later moved to Jacksonville, 111., and while living there Mr. Brown returned to Boone ville and attended Kemper military academy He was later a student at Illinois college, at which time he made the acquaintance of W. J. Bryan, who was then a student at the college ' This acquaintance soon ripened into a NEW TIES EVERY WEEK See that Knee! Here's a H. V. I), style with the big wide open knee objection removed.

Mr. Brown came to Nebraska in the early eighties, when he located at Omaha, as vice president of the Henry & Coatsworth Lumber company, who at that time had a yard in Lincoln. Several years later he moved here, making this his permanent home in But few carnival organizations is 1892. He has been engaged in the is complete as is the S. W.

Mr. Brundage has spared neither quality or ex pense in making his attractions among the very best on the road, and udging from the praise which has been given the shows wherever they have exhibitetl, he has accomplished his purpose. In Leon W. Marshall's famous Happy Days in Dixieland," Mr. Brundage presents an attraction which has been declared one of the finest touring the country with a ear- nival organization. Mr. Marshall is in 1912, Mr. Brown was a prominent figure, and it was related by those indisposed condition at that time, he THE GEORGE W. GAR RISON ESTATE IS IN COURT AGAIN The (eorge W. Garrison estate, which has been the subject of more or less 'litigation in the past was again brought in the limelight in the district court, when the case of Mrs Nancy J. Garrison vs. Alonza Gar- risen, et al., was brought to trial be fore Judge Begley. This case is one involving the land belonging to the late George W. Garrison and which was deeded to his three children in 180U. The land is quite valuable and the interest in the suit is very keen. The deeds made by Mr. Garrison in IS'.)'.) were not recorded until after his death, when they were placed on rec ord, and now the widow seeks to have them placed back in the estate For division among the different heirs. Matthew Geiing appears in the cae for Mrs. Garrison, while Attorney C. A. Rawls is the representative of the defendants. in Mr. brown was elected as exciseman, serving on the board with . H. Weir as mayor, and was then re-elected during the F. A. Graham administration. He was elected mayor in 1005 and re-eletced in 1907, defeat ing A. H. Hutton both times During the campaign of 15)08 he was particularly active in behalf of Mr. Bryan and was the member of the resolutions committee from Ne braska at the democratic convention which nominated Mr. Bryan, and as such rhaped the platform according to Mr. Bryan's wishes. Although not a one ot the prominent minstrel leaders delegate to the Baltimore convention of the south and is touring the north for the first time. Thirty-five high- class minstrel performers are mem bers of this one attraction. "The Miracle," the show beautiful, is an attraction whtcn will prove pleasing, especially to the women and chiitiren. it is one ot tne most ex pensive carnival productions ever staged and has been a sensation wher ever the shows have played. The famous painting, "The Shadow of the Cross," which has raised so much comment at the various expositions, is a part of this exhibition. The racing motordome, upon which prominent motorcycle racers speed, is one of the most sensational attrac tions offered. It is claimed to be. the largest on the road, and many thrills and daring "stunts" are promised Plattsmouth speed fans. The other Bruntlage attractions are right up to the minute and in the entire show Plattsmouth residents are promised the most complete carnival company which has ever visited the city. that much of the credit for Mr. Wil son's nomination was due to the quiet efforts of Mr. Brown to handle the situation Perhaps no one has ever served as mayor of Lincoln who accomplished as much in the way of municipal im provement and ever left office with as many friends as he did. He was the founder of Antelope park and it was through his efforts that such a sub stantial start was made, and he prob ably placed the park above all other of his accomplishments in his affec tion. In lyOG he was the democratic nom inee for congress, running against E. M. Pollard, who defeated him in the Nebraska district after a sharp battle. He has been a figure at democratic conventions for years, and it is said that no one has ever wielded the in fluence before the legislature that he has. This influence was founded large ly on the knowledge that all had that F. W. Brown would not be for any thing that he did not believe was for the benefit of the people of Nebraska. He was called upon innumerable times to wield his influence toward the pass age of constructive legislation. When Mr. Wilson was elected as president, it was said that Mr. Brown would be given some high position of trust. A number of offices were sug gested to him, and had it not been for his desire to stay in Lincoln, he would probably have been appointed to some diplomatic position under this admin istration. When he expressed his de sire to be postmaster at Lincoln, he had allied with him the Bryan influ ence, which finally resulted in his tak ing over the office on the 16th of No vember. 1914. In spite of his rather with his old-time business acumen, and up to the time cf his last- illness was active in planning and carrying out the work at the postoffice. Probably no man in Nebraska hail more personal friends than Mr. Brown. His efforts to do something for his friends was his main charac teristic, and much of the time that he might have spent in his own selfish pursuits was given to an effort for his friends. For a number of years Mr. Brown has been mentioned as the democratic candidate for both governor and Unit ed States senator, but he has always said that he could not afford to run for either office. He was married December 22, lfc0, to Jennie Bennett of Omaha. Two sons were born to the union, one of whom died February 2, 1899; the other, F. W. Brown, jr., is at present editor of the Kearney Morning Times at Kearney, Neb. Three sisters and one brother, Mrs. William Beitler, of Philadelphia, Mrs. James Smith, of Berlin, 111., and Mrs. Franklin Hous ton, of Kansas City, Mo., and W. A. Brown of Memphis, Tenn., are those surviving. Mr. Brown came from a family notable both in Virginia and Kentucky, many members of which have held high rank in the way of public office in the states of Maryland, Virginia, Mississippi and Kentucky. He was a member of the Elks' club. The family home is located at Twentieth and Washington streets, but Mr. and Mrs. Brown have made their home at the Lincoln hotel for some time.
