League societies enjoyed a very de
lightful meeting at the auditorium of

ing being held at 6 o'clock and at
which time, Miss Jessie A. Bragg,
just recently returned from India,
spoke to the young people on the for
eign mission work in that country.

much enjoyed and gave the audience
a thorough idea of the work in the
foreign mission field in India, where
for the past five years Miss Bragg
has been in charge of a Methodist j
mission near Luckow. and to
the:
young people the address was a great
educational treat and made clear
many of the features of the foreign
mission field that they were unac
quainted with.
Miss Bragg is one or the Cass
county church workers who have en
tered into the labors of the foreign
mission field and has found much
pleasure in the assistance given to
the residents of the lands across the
sea. She is the third from this coun
ty to take up this work, as the home
of Miss Bragg was formerly at Elm

ARRIVES FROM BOHEMIA
From Monday's Dally.
This morning Miss Theresa Sedlak
arrived in this city to make her
home here with her brothers and sis
ters, completing a trip from the old
home in Bohemia that has covered
the past six weeks. It has long been
the desire of the members of the
family here to have their sisters with
them and matters were arranged for
their leaving the old country and
coming here to live and the first of
the two sisters arrived here today.
The second sister, Eleanor Sedlak. is
enroute now from Europe and her ar
rival is expected any time now. The
authorities at Cherbrough, France,
from which they sailed would not
permit both to leave at the same time
and so they sailed on separate ves
sels. It is needless to say the ar
rival of the sister has brought much
pleasure to the family. Miss Sedlak
is a sister of Joseph Sedlak. Jr., Mike
and James Sedlack and Mrs. Fred
Duda of this city.

BEFORE BODY AND BUSI
NESS SOON OVER.
""rrm Tuesday's Dally.
The city council was tame in its

ways on the alert to collect the elu
sive dollars for the city reported

mittee for their consideration.
The judiciary committee through
Chairman Mason reported that they
had drafted an ordinance covering a
new lighting contract that was prac

but they had been unable to supply
the number and voltage of the lights
required and it was referred to the
lighting committee for the final
touches in this respect and will be
reported at the next session of the
dads.

says Cashier G': O. Dovey of the First

cial interests. Mr: Dovoy says:
"Among the. vast" amount of legis

changes in th' Federal Reserve Act
will be advocated, , but the country
will not tolerate any changes in this
Act which may tend to weaken it.

where an optimistic -view of 1921 it
discounted but .when all things are
taken into consideration, the new
year seems to be opening under cir
cumstances which justify taking at
least a cautiously optimistic view cf
the future.
-"Anyone who thought that it was
going to be possible to maintain war
prices in peace times has by this
time realized hLi,ii?!usion.
""During the ' p'rir thirty weelcs
more commodity prices have been
lowered than advanced. Wages alio
are being reduced because the coun
try cannot continue wage advines
while prices are deelinine.
"The most favorable features in
connection wirh the present outlook
are that unwarranted advances in
prices have ceased, extravagance is
less and less apparent and opera! inc
costs are being gradually reduced.
"Although it is estimated that be
tween 300.000 and 400.000 men are
out of employment in the United
States and the problem is therefore
assuming somewhat serious propor
tions, nevertheless, the labor short
age has been terminated, strikes are
practically eliminated and -he pros
pect of a lower wage Is being more
favorably received.
"It is very generally understood
that the farmers have been hit 'he
hardest by the fall in food prices.
Various proposals have been put
forth as to how the condition can
best be met.
"Manufacturers, producers, retj.il
merchants and other business inter
ests maintain that they are taking
a loss proportionate to that of the
farmer's loss, but it is generally con
ceded that agriculture is bearing the
brunt of the present situation.
"Predictions are made that the
good which this ill wind will blow
to the farming interests of the coun
try will be in the placing of farm
ing on a business basis which will
insure an adequate profit.
"In fact, some of the most opti
mistic signs pointing the way toward
a year of final readjustment and
prosperity is that which indicates a
marked improvement in the country's
economic relationships in general.
"Now that our banking system has
proven equal to this tremendous
strain which has been placed upon
it. with labor and capital uniting to
lower production costs and with the
entire people of the nation moving
forward on a saner and more sensi
ble basis it seems fair to predict
prosperity if not an actual business
boom."

VETERAN EDI
TOR DIES AT A
RIPEOLD AGE
CHARLES W. SHERMAN, FOUND
ER OF THE JOURNAL, IS
BURIED IN WEST.
A figure well known in the news
paper life of Nebraska in the eigh
ties and nineties has vanished from
the, scene of earthly activities in
the death at Los Angeles. California,
on Thursday, of Charles W. Sher
man, who for more than sixty years
has been a follower of the profession
of journalism.
Mr. Sherman was the founder of
the Plattsmouth Journal in 1881 and
conducted this paper during the per
iods when partisan issues ran high
and the journalistic wars were mark
ed with bitterness and venom be
tween the rival p-ipers on political
issues of the day and through this
rtormy period Mr. Sherman was al
ways valiant in his battles for the
cause of democracy even though he
represented a cause that was over
whelmed in the state at that time
and he had the satisfaction of seeing
his party and principles many times
victorious in the later years.
Charles W. Sherman was born in
the village of New Castle. Ohio, on
June 9. 1S41. and was a descendent
of distinguished American ancestry,
his family being descendeu from
Roger Sherman of Connecticut, one
of the signers of the declaration of
independence, and a number of the
other members of the family were in
service in the war of independence.
Senator John Sherman of Ohio and
General William T. Sherman were
also members of this family, although
of another branch.
Young Sherman attended the dis
trict school during his boyhood and
at the age of sixteen years started
westward in the year 1S57, and join
ed an older brother who had settled
in Winneshiek county. Iowa. After
engaging in farming for a time, he
moved to Knoxville, Marion county,
where h.e assisted in lumber cutting.
In the pring of-lS5S the desire to
wtw the- printing -craft caused Mr.
Sherman to leave his home and trav
el on foot to Council Bluffs, where he
entered the office of the Nonpariel,
serving an apprenticeship until 1860.
when he located in Omaha and en
gaged in his trade on the Republi
can and Herald and in November.
1S60. had the distinction of assisting
in settiug up the first telegraphic
news received and published in the
territory of Nebraska
In 1S61 the subject of our sketch
took a short rest from the printing
business and engaged in freighting
across the plains, stopping at the
trading posts along the way. While
on one of these trips he learned of
the firin gon Fort Sumter by the
southern forces, and he then has
tened back east to Des Moines and
enlisted in Co. K. 3rd Iowa cavalry,
and was at once sent into active ser
vice, participating in several skir
mishes in the southern part of Iowa
and later took part in the battle of
Pea Ridge, Arkansas, aeainst the
troops of General Sterling Price.
Later the regiment participated in
the campaign against Vicksburg and
the invasion of Alabama and Georgia,
and Mr. Sherman served until Au
gust. 1S65. when he was discharged.
In the fall of 1865 Mr. Sherman
resumed the newspaper game and
became associated in the publication
of the Burlington (Iowa) Hawkeye
and later the Burlington Merchant.
He also conducted papers at Quincy.
Illinois and Villisca. Iowa. Iu the
year 1872 he established the Mills
county Journal at Glen wood. Iowa,
which he conducted for ten years
and later in 1881 came to Platts
mouth where the Journal was es
tablished. Mr. Sherman was a member of the
old school of the newspaper craft
and his pride in his work was un
bounded and his study of the prob
lems of the day made him a worthy
foe in the political battles of the
earlier days. He was a great ad
mirer of William Jennings Bryan
and served the last two years of Mr.
Bryan's term in congress, as his pri
vate secretary and in this capacity
came in close touch with the politi
cal issues of the day and on his re
turn in 1894 he assisted in the many
political battles of his leader until
he laid down the editorial pen to
others.
Personally Mr. Sherman was kind
ly and generous to a fault and his
associates of the years past can well
remember his willingness to assist
when it lay in his power, any of his
less fortunate brethren and friends.
