II. HerpolSheimer, the owner of the
Herpolsheimer company department
store. He would have been TWENTY
In spite OF his youth he had made re-
markable advancement in the social
and business world and was destined to
have succeeded his father at the head
OF Herpolsheimer enterprise had he
survived. His death is peculiarly sad
in view of his recent preparations for
long and useful life. Three months
ago he married Miss Louise Adell
Hoover, the young daughter of DR..
and Mrs. A. L. Hoover The young
couple had built and fitted up a cosy
new home at 1911 NJ street, where they
were the center of large social circle.
Mr.. Herpolsheimer showed remark
able ability as a youth. He gradu-
ated from the Lincoln high school and
attended the state university before
going into(his fathers store as assist
ant superintendent of the entire bust
4psss His ability and unimpeachable
character soon brought him into prom
inence. All who met him were i'm
pressed with his talent and were full
CT praise for his manliness and integ-
rity. He was particularly popular
among the young people, especially the
members of the Sigma Chi fraternity
o (which he was a member.
The father and mother and three
brothers were at the bedside when he
died Two sisters, Mrs. Barber, of
Colorado Springs and Mrs. Lamprecht
OF Chicago, had not been sent for as
his condition was not considered
alarming until short time before he
died. The body was taken to the
home of his parents, 1245 E street, to
await the funeral arrangements The
sympathy of Lincoln people goes out
to the grief stricken relatives
The funeral will probably be held

Performed Splendid Service as Bust.
ness Agent of Carpenters.

At the last meeting of the local Car
penters' Union, S. J. Kent, who has
been business agent for considerably
more than year, rendered his resig-
nation, and it was accepted with re-
gret. When Mr.. Kent took hold of
the unions affairs it had less than 100
members, many of whom were not in
good standing. He lays down his
work when the union has 800 members,
all of whom, practically, are in good
standing, and the union itself in bet
ter shape every way than at any time
in its history.
Mr.. Kent will leave in a few days
for Wyoming for brief visit and rest.
He has not yet determined what bust
ness he will engage in but whatever
it is he will carry into it his enthusi-
astic unionism, and will be accom-
panied by the best wishes of Lincoln
unionists.
