From Wednesdays Daily.
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

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.

Sunday afternoon two special trains
were sent north over the Missouri Pa-

Nobles of the Mystic Shrine bound
or their conclave at Seattle, Wash

Shriners are now turned throughout
the United States. The trains carried
members of the Kan -as and Missouri
delegations and were filled by an en

the Shrine. The special of the Kan
sas delegation was decorated with all
the emblems, as well as a number of
scenes from the experiences of the
Shriners and was most noticeable.
The locomotive was equipped with a

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

been given the shows wherever they

his purpose.

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

death, when they were placed on rec

in Mr. brown was elected as

re-elected during the F. A. Graham
administration. He was elected mayor

During the campaign of 15)08 he

such rhaped the platform according to

pleasing, especially to the women and

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

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.
