COUNTY ATTORNEY
Of Red Ctoud, Nebraska,
-vrW
Elmer Ulyasos Ovormna was born in
Hnncock county, Illinoi. Juno 30,
1804, nnd is or Gorman-EnRlisb des
cent. He fs the youngest of a fnmlly
of nine, tuo children 0 Charles nnd
Mnrtlm J. Ovormnn.
Mr. Orennnn's early days were
pniscd quietly upon his father's farm
in Hnncock conuty, whero ho enjoyed
tho udrnntnges offered by tlto district
schools of tho neighborhood. At the
age of oighteon, baring pursued hu
studies far as possiblo in tk district
schools, ho desired t otter college.
His father being unable to send him,
Mr. Overman took tho matter in his
own hands, writing to tho faculty of
a number of collegos in the endeavor
to find an opportunity to earn his way.
inrougn the kindnoss of Dr. Cum
tilings, then president f Hadding col
logo, lecatcd at Abblngdon, Knox
county, Illinois, young Overman's
hopes in that direction were realized.
He securod work with Key. lirown, n
Methodist minister, whereby he enrnud
his board. Iu ndditiou to thin, he
sawed nnd split wood during the win
ter, tints earning sulllcicut to purchase
books and clothing. At the end of the
your tho members of tho collrgo fac
ulty wero so impressed with young
Overman, nnd interested in his behalf
that they securod for him tho positiou
of janitor of tho collt-ge, thus enabling
him to remain nt college.
Mojt young wen who have not means
to attend collego, oithor socuro aid
from somo relative or borrjw tho
mouoy, take it easy, nnd risk pnylng it
back in aftor lifo. Not so with ydttng
Overman; after obtaiiiiug his poiiiioa
of janitor, in tho seeond year of hi?
collego life, ho could have boon found
before tbo opening of school scrubbing
nnd preparing tho college buildings.
Aftor tho opening of collego, we kind
him taking onro of tho building as jan
itor, yet keeping up with his clnsses,
nnd passing nil examinations credit
ably. In this manner ho secured his gen
eral education. After leaving collego,
ho entered tho law allien of Sharp &
Berry Bros., of Carthago, Illinois He
was still a poor boy without nioniif.
ThU linn of attorneys gave him work
in thoir olllce, to assist him. Ho con
tinned iu this employment, doing otlluo
work during tho day nnd loading law

end of which time ho passed a highly
ci editable exnminntion before tho su
premo court of Illinois, nnd was ad
mitted to tho bar.
Young Overman thereupon hung out
bis shinglo alOquawkti, Illinois, whero
ho soon surrounded himself with a
good business, and at tho end of a year
had u fairly good practice. About this
time thiiro occurred a vacancy in tho
olllce ot state's attorney, of his county
and when tho ropublfcan convention
mot, Mr. Overman was given the nom
nation by ncclauintlon and wan elected
without opposition, tho democratic
party placitig no candidate ngninst
him. His first case as public prosecu
tor was that of two men charged with
murder. In this ho secured a convic
tion, tho men were sentenced to tho
penitentiary for thirty years each, aid
are still serving time ii the Illinois
penitentiary.
At the end of this term, Mr. Over
man was again nominated by the re
publicans by acclamation, for a full
Ujrm of four years, and was elected by
a handsome majerity. During this
term he successfully prosecuted Many
cases of importance, and at the and of
tho term refused to again stand as a
catididato.
Desiring to go to a larger tiold for
tho practice of his profession, be re
moved from Oquawka, te the city of
Wnukt'gnn, Illinois, whero ho remained
about six months, being called homo
by the sickness of his fathor nnd
mother, who wore now becoming quite
old. Ho remained with thetmgiving
up his business for that purposo, for
more than n year. During this time
his father died, and under the advice
of physicians it was decided to remove
his mother to Kabrnska for her health,
and it was this circumstance which
brought Mr. Overman to Bed Cloud
nnd Webster county. He, with his
nuttier and family, came to Ketl Cloud
iu the spring of 1SW5. After bis arri
val ho oponod n law offle s in Red Cloud
ami almost from the first his basiaoss
in that line has been ono of the best iu
the county.
At the time Mr. Overman removed
from Oquawkn to Waukegau, Illinois,
tho local papers, deaioc-ratio and re
publican, said tho following iu refer
enee to him:
"E. U. Ovormnn left for Waukegan

Snflord will bo continued. The firm

this move on tho pnrt of Messrs. Over

Mr. Overman waa married April 20,
1892, to Miss Nellie Zinn of his horn
couaty, to which union ane child ha
been born. '
As will be seen from tho foregoing
Mr Overaaan has never been a candi
date, seeking office; having been twic
nominated by neclamntion. When th
republican convention met in Be
cloud last April, and was looking for
candidato for county attorney, Mi
Overman was not a candidato and ui
til the dny of tho convention had n
thought of recoiving tho nqminalioi
but it becanio nppnront that ho wns t!-i
almost unnnimous choice of tho del
gates, nnd being unnblo to imluco 1 s
friends to nccopt no for an nnswer, 0
obeyed the call of bis party nnd coi
sentcrl to stand as their cnadidate.

Tho voters aro not nskud to suppoi

MRS. PINKHAM: I had suffered for iv.
with femnl tm.iM.c
until I was discouraged. I felt
and tired of living. I had dis
ease ot kidneys, bladder trouble,
dropsy and bloating, had womb
trouble and a large tumor had
formed; in fact nil my organs
were out of fix.
" Seeinga woman's letter prais
ing your remedies, I wrote to
her nnd she begged of me to try
u, letimg me nil tliat it had done
for her. I bought six bottles of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound aad now cannot ex
press my gratitude to you. Tho
tumor began to come away in
pieces and I got better all tho
time. I believe now that I am
entirely cured.
"My doctors could not believe
it at first, as they all had told mo
that my case was a hopeless one,
and no human power could do mo
any good. They were astounded.
If I can say anything that can
help other women, I shall bo
glad to."
