Some years ago H. P. Burbage, a
student at law in Greenville, S. C.
had been troubled for a long while
with a persistent cough which he says
"greatly alarmed me. causing me to
fear that I was in the first stage of
consumption." Having seen Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy advertised,
he concluded to try it. "I soon felt
a remarkable change and after using
two bottles of the small size was
permanently cured."

Goods Called for and Delivered
Itt
George W. Worley, one of the
oldest and best known residents of
Cass county, was called to his final re
ward on Thursday evening at the
home in Elmwood, following an ill
ness covering the past three weeks,
dr.e to his advanced age and a gen
eral breakdown.
This splendid old gentleman, who
has for the past sixty-three years
been a resident of Cass county, was
one of the pioneers in the develop
ment of the community in which he
h-.d located and his long and useful
life has borne fruit in the splendid
lite that he leaves as a heritage to
his family and to the community
whrre he has labored.
George W. Worley was born No
vember 23. 1835. in Illinois, the fam-
ilv residinsr at that time where the
present city of Springfield is now
located, and there amid the scenes of
the early life on the frontier, this
sturdy American was reared to man
hood and at an early day came to
Iowa, where he remained for a short
time and in the year 1S57 he came to
Cr.s.-! county, Nebraska.
Mr. Worley, on locating here, en
grrod in farming and on December
i; 1SC0. at the home of the parents
of" the bride, Mr. and Mrs. James M
Coa'fv.it, ten miles south of Platts-
i-xintl:. wns united in marriage to
Miss Rachel M. Chaifant, the Rev
P:ilo Gorton, a pioneer Methodist
minister officiating at the ceremony
that united the lives cf these two
young people.
Ere the pioneer honeymoon had
waned, the lowering clouds of war
Cc.me over the nation, calling the
husband from his home, and in 1862
he enlisted in the Missouri state mi
litia and served for tivo years in
that organization. On being dis
charged from his first enlistment, Mr.
Woriey returned to Nebraska and
with the loving wifa removed to
Kansas v.iicre llisy located near Ot
tawa. ; ml wheje Mr. Worley once
more entered the service of the gov
ernment in tie I tit h Kansas cavalry
and rerved with them until the close
of the civil war.
After the war he was retained in
the government service for over a
year as a scout end assisted in prop
erly guarding the wagon trains going
west across the gold fields of Colo
rado and the far wet.
Iu the year IStJS, on securing his
release from the armed service of the
nsitio'i. Mr. Worley and his wife re
turned to Nebraska and resumed their
re: ide:jce in Cass county, engaging
in farming on the old home near this
ci'y. Here the family remained un
til ti:- year 1SSS. when they removed
to E'lnwcod. where they have since
re -liti.-.l.
While a resident of the eastern
portion of Cass county, Mr. Worley
foiloved farming s an occupation,
but jincc goin to Elmwood he has
ia;-!:e!y been engaged in the build
ing trades, being a carpenter by pro-fc-si;ii'.
and continued at this until
the approach of old age bade him de-s-ht
from his labors.
To bless the union of Mr. and
.Mrs. Worley six children were born,
tvo r.f whom died in infancy and
fourteen years ago a daughter, Mrs.
W. P. Current was called away by
death.
The three children who are left
wich the wife and mother to mourn
the death of this good man are as
follow s: Jay E. Worley. Lincoln:
Mrs. It. C. Oldham. Gihbsbery, Al
berta. Canad.i. and Miss Kittie Wor
ley. of Lincoln, who is a member of
tl' state board of control.
The departed had been one of the
charter members of McConihie post,
G. A. R.. of Piattsmouth, but on re
n vi::g to Elmwood transferred to
Kenasaw post of that city. At the
time Mr. Worley joined Kenasaw
post it was one of the largest of
the county but today at the funeral
service of the departed veteran there
were present the last two members
of the post to honor the memory of
the departed brother.
The funeral services were held
this afternoon at 1::50 at the Metho
uist church in Elmwood, Mr. Wor
ley having been a lifelong member of
this faith. Rev. Sala, pastor of the
church, was in charge.
It had been the oft repeated wish
if this grand oH veteran that nis
last journey might be in the nature
of a military ceremony and accord
ingly the services wre conducted by
the American Legion post, of Elm
wood. An armed guard stood at at
tention at the casket as the resi
dents paid their last tributes to the
old friend and neighbor and the body
was escorted to the grave by a guard
of honor from the Legion post. The
wealth of beautiful floral tributes
were expressive of the feeling of
e:;teem in which Mr. Worley had
been held in the community in which
he bad long resided.
Of the departed there- was one i
characteristic that endeared him to
all who knew him and that was his
love of his fellow man and it "was
his dream to live until the dawning
spirit of Hie brotherhood of man
might bring to the troubled world
the- spirit of love and kindness that
would drive before it the selfishness
that has brought into the world suf
fering, want and woe.

GILL ESPIES BREAK
JAIL AT SIDNEY
Escape from Iowa Authorities Last
Night by Prying Bars from
Window Still Free.
From Saturday's Daily.
The two Gillespie brothers, Virgil
and "Tack," who were arrested a
few days ago by officials in Omaha
through the co-operation of Sheriff
Fischer of Otoe county and Sheriff
Quinton of this county, are once more
breathing the cool and bracing air
of freedom, as they escaped last even
ing from the county jail of Fremont
county, Iowa, at Sidney.
The two men had been turned over
to the Iowa authorities by Sheriff
Fischer, of Otoe county, to be tried
for the robbery of a store at Percival,
Iowa, and Sheriff Fischer had warn
ed the Iowa authorities that they
had some very hard characters to
deal with, but his advice was evi
dently not heeded and the result is
that the men are roaming around
loose.
The jailor at Sidney had fed the
prisoners last night and when lock
ing up time came went around to
see that they were fastened in their
cells and to his surprise found only
empty space,- the men having forced
their way out through prying the
bars off a window.
