Schxoxdxx Sunday, February 28, at SJ0 p. bx, GssUt, oldest child sad son of Mr. and Mm Charles Sehrosder. The funeral took place yesterday, Tuesday afternoon, services being held st the Maennsrchor hall, Elder H. J. Hudson aad Rev. De Geller officiating. Gustar was the second son of his par ents, his elder brother dying fifteen years ago, on February 28. Gustav was born at the homestead farm, Platte county, Nov. 15, 1870, and for one of his years, his life has certainly been an eventful one. At the age of 15 he took great interest in matters pertaining to what became his life-work steam and electrical en gineer, and as time passed snd his knowledge increased, his opportunities for .employment widened, and, with health, it is not wide of the mark to say that he might have become one of the great electricians of our country. Young as he was, his experience waa much; and the call for bis well-known ana mucn-appreciasea aunties waa ur gent He was one of the very first electricians in Nebraska. He was called to St Louia by the Heisler Electric Manufacturing company to superintend the erection of their works; then to Chicago, where he was engaged during the World's fair in the manufacture of incandescent lamps; then to Ft. Wayne by a company to atart their plant; then to Houston, Texas, for the Houston Electric Manufacturing company. He came home in 1865 on account of failing health; was called to Fremont to superintend the opening of their plant and operate it for the trial term of aixty days;' then to LaPorte, Indiana, for s similar work; then to the University at Lincoln, where he was only able to stay three daya. Since then bis hold on life has seemed. to grow less and less on account of lung trouble. He sought rehef by travel and change of climate, going to Colorado, New Mexico and Texasv but returned to his home here January 3d, since which time he has been awaiting the end. His thoughts were on his life work,'day and night and his last words were, "Will, turn on the steam, it is time to start up." Gustav was a bright young man, an honor to his parents and to this commu nity, where he received his impulses toward the work which so absorbed his faculties. The sorely stricken family, parents, brothers and sister, have the tender, heartfelt sympathy of all their friends in their time of affliction. Railway Exteaaiea. Word has come in from the northern part of the county that a surveying outfit has been examining the lay of the country northward, and it ia rumored that work is likely to be commenced by the B. A M. in the early spring. The Quill surmises that this may have some significance when we take into account the -contemplated Norfolk & Yankton road that is again -being agitated. If this is true it will makei connection that will be of great importance to this section of the state. Schuyler Quill. It may be possible the Quill's surmise is correct and that the Norfolk A Yank ton contemplates building through to Schuyler. An examination of the map reveals the fact that Stanton is the most desirable point for intersection with the Elkhorn, it being the nearest to Schuy ler and in s more direct line, but the fact that Norfolk precinct has before it a proposition to vote bonds for the pro posed railway precludes sll possibility of any of her sister towns being counted in until the result of the vote is ascer tained. In connection with thia matter, how ever, it is desired to be distinctly un derstood that Madison is always ready to .extend s hearty and substantial welcome to shy enterprise tending toward the upbuilding of the town and coaatry. Our citizens realize that money spent in aid of the construction of railways would be of auch benefit as to vastly overbalance the inconvenience of a slight increase in taxes. Madison Reporter.
