liam Jennings Bryan that the years
have not changed and although for
several years past Mr. Bryan has re
sided in the south, the recollection
of his early days still lives to gild
the memory of the past in the hearts
of the Cass county people.
Cass county was a part of the
First Congressional district of Ne
braska, where Mr. Bryan first enter
ed political life and the old time
residents of the county recall as but
yesterday the campaign of 1S90
when Mr. Bryan then an unknown
young lawyer of Lincoln, where he
had located in 1SS7. stirred the
hearts of the people by his oratori
cal powers, his eloquence and logic
in argument surpassing any of the
efforts of the then political leaders
of the west. Mr. Bryan made a
thorough campaign of Cass county,
and added it to his column when the
election rolled around and the First
district sent him to congress. At
that time Omaha was in the first
district of the state and also gave
support to the young democrat.
In congress the force cf Mr. Bryan
was recognized and he was placed
on the ways and means committee
and his efforts in debate on the
tariff question remain gems of the
American congress. In 1892 the dis
trict was re-arrauged with the addi
tion of counties to insure a republi
can majority and the elimination of
Omaha from the district, but in
spite of this fact, after -a .series of
debates between Allen W. Field, of
Lincoln, and Mr. Bryan over the dis
trict, the voters again sent him back
to represent them in the halls of
congress.
In Cass county political circles,
Mr. Bryan made many warm friends
and ou his visits here would recog
nize and recall the old friends of
former years, his wonderful memory
being one of the outstanding fea
tures of his personality. William D.
Wheeler, the late Frank J. Morgan,
Z. W. Shrader, D. O. Dwyer, D. C.
Morgan and many of the Cass coun
ty democrats were numbered among
ti:e old time friend3 and intimate
associates in political life pf the de
ceased leader.
Almost every national campaign
brought Mr. Bryan to Plattsmouth
for an aridress and eath time the
crowds were enormous to greet him
ar,d hear the message that he might
bring from the teachings of the de
mocracy of the nation. The last time
that Mr. Bryan was here was in the
campaign of 1H22. when his brother,
Charles W. Bryan, was a candidate
for governor. At that time the in
creasing burden of the years and the
strenuous life on the stump and plat
form had lft their telling marks on
the great le ader and his address here
was delivered sitting in a chair on
the stage of the Parmele theatre, but
larked nothing of the keen logic and
force of the past.
During the Spanish-American war,
Mr. Bryan was mr.de colonel of the
3rd Nebraska infantry, and Co. B,
rai-ed in Cass county, served under
his leadership, former Governor Geo.
Sheldon being the captain, and later
C. A. Rawls of this city at the head
of the company and in this capacity
Mr. Bawls had an intimate acquain
tance with the leader.

From Monday's Daily -
Tony Lahoda, who was one of the
factors in the disturbance on Win
tersteen Hill on Thursday evening,
was down town today for the first
time since the trouble in which he
was injured. Mr. Lahoda states that
his side of the trouble has not been

Mrs. John P. Sattler and Daughter
Find Towns Filled With Many
Old Time Friends.
From Tuesilny's Daily
Mrs. John P. Sattler and daughter,
Mrs. Lawrence Sprecher, who have
just returned from a most enjoyable
outing on the Pacific coast, found
among other things that make the
coast country a very pleasant one is
that a very large number of former
Plattsmouth people are dwellers in
the various towns surrounding Los
Angeles, and many of whom the
ladies had the opportunity of visiting.
Their chief stay was at Los Angeles
where Karl Sattler, wife and little
daughter. Joyce, are residing, they
having charge of the Knickerbocker
apartments, and making very much
of a success of their affairs in the
city where they have resided for the
past few years.
While at Los Angeles they had the
privilege of a pleasant visit with
Madame C. E. Wescott, the gentle
and well beloved lady who was for
so many years a Plattsmouth resi
dent and is the mother of C. C. and E.
H. Wescott of this city. They also
called on the Floyd Kuhney family
and met there Mrs. John P. Kuhney.
who was with Mrs. Sattler initiated
into the Degree of Honor here years
ago, it being needless to say that the
ladies enjoyed the visit very much.
At the Knickerbocker apartments
they found a bit of Plattsmouth at
mosphere in the fact that Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Dunbar and daughter,
Jane, and Claude Shoemaker are
making their home there and certain
ly enjoyed the sight of the "folks
from home" as the Dunbars and Mr.
Shoemaker are amcng the newest -n
the Plattsmouth Los Angeles colony
Mrs. Sattler and daughter also met
William Roy McKinney, formerly oi
this city, but who has toen so long
on the coast he can almost rate being
a "native son." He has charge of a
string of cafes in the city that hart
been very successful in their opera
tion. Mrs. Sprecher was especially
pleased to nreet two of the ladies
formerly employed in the offices cf
the Burlington in this city. Mius
Madeline Minor and Miss Nellie May
Cowles as well as Mrs. Katherine
Minor, mother of Miss Madeline, who
i.s enjoying very much the life on the

the old time friends, back in Nebras

At Santa Monica, they visited with

There was found quite a colony
of former Platsmouth people at
Pomona. California, where Henry
Hesse and wife are living as well as j
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Wurl and family '
and Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Wurl. The
Wurl boys have been very successful J
in their business ventures in the Cali-
fornia city and Ernest has a fine newj
home in Pomona. Mr. and Mrs. Paul
Wurl and their son are planning to
drive back east via Canada and the
northwest and may find their way
thru Plattsmouth on the return home.
In their motoring through Orange
Mrs. Sattler and Mrs. Sprecher stop
ped for a call on Mr. and Mrs. Fred'
Lindeman and their family and
found them bust and happy in the
new home. Mrs. Lindeman was form
erly Miss Clara Mockennaupt, daugh

The pleasant little city of Santa
Ana is not without its evidence cf
the Plattsmouth invasion as there
were found Mr. and Mrs. Louis Hesse
and Mr. and Mrs. James Cunningham,
who were delighted to see the visitors
from the old home and to enjoy a few
hours visiting.
While motoring over the west
coast country Mrs. Sattler and
daughter enjoyed a short stay at San
Diego, one of the beauty spots of the
coast and following the custom of the
tourists took a drive over into old
Mexico, a few hours out of San Diego,
where Tia Juana beckons the visitors
from the states with thfir exhibition
of the wide open life that has been
banished from California, but which
the Americans keep eJive in the
Mexican city.
