HOLY LIFE IS ENDED,
]. w. Wightman Dies at Age
of Eighty Two.
A SPLENDID CHRISTIAN MAN
Death Comes to Him at Fairfield Neb
Funeral in Denison on Tuesday

John William Wightman. we'll
known to every old-time citizen of

Mr.. Wightman was one of the old
residents of Denison. He came here
when the town was but~a hamlet and
he was known to all for his gentle,
kindly. Christian life. He was a
simple hearted, guileless man. Hon
est and honorable in every transac-
ton. upright. straightforward and
manly. Without ostentation, without
hypocrisy. he lead a pure and holy
Christian life. He was not of that
type which gives constant praise that
they are better than other men. he
was content to let light of clean
white soul shine upon the world with
sweet benignity. There were three
things in which he took constant de-
light, his religion. his family and his
republicanism. During his later
years he lived with his daughters
visiting each in turn, taking an act
i've interest in all that concerned
them. playing fondly with his grand
children and with his great grand
children and enjoying in many ways
the fruits of well-spent life. Mr..
Wightman was born in Stanbridge,
Canada, July 31st. 1921. He grew t.
young manhood as farmer in, thu
British domains, and it was in Canada
that he was married in 1s43 to hi.
beloved and devoted wife Miss Phoeb,
HungerfoAd. When he was, 80 year.
of age he migrated to the United
States, first settling in Swanton, Yer.

Crawford County Republicans Evolve
Something New for the Cam
paign

Recognizing that good music would
add greatly to the interest of the
school house meetings the republican
county committee has secured
graphophone for use in the campaign.
A program of fine new records has
been purchased, consisting of band
music. patriotic songs. humorous
selections and recitations. These
will be given during the course of
the evening meetings and will afford
entertainment for young and old.
The records are some of the finest
and most expensive made and will
furnish delightful evenings amuse-
ment, while the speakers hope to in
still some good republican doctrine.
The graphophone concerts will be
given at the meetings at the McAhren
school house, Monday Boeck school
house Tuesday, Gillmor school house

Itgives US great pleasure to note that

to Crawford county. He lived on a
farm north of Denison until the death
of his wife in 1871 after which he
moved to Denison which has been his
home during the latter part of his
life. He was devout member of the
Baptist church and took great pride in
his Baptist ancestry, his forefathers
having been prominent in the history
of that church for several centuries.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wightman were the
parents of nine children. Of these
three are dead, Almira dying in 1s4s,
Laura in 1858 and John B. in 1882.
Six daughters survive him and it was
the privilege of all of them to be
near him during his last days and to
be present when the loving father
was laid to rest for aye. These
daughters are, Mrs. Clara Wilson of
Denison, Mrs. Emma Mooney of Min
den, Neb.. Mrs. Eva McHenry of
Wayne, Neb., Mrs. Nellie Cook of
Fairfield. Neb.. Mrs. Anna Penny of
Wood River. Neb.. and Mrs. May
Hendricks of Sioux City.
We can but feel that these children
were greatly blessed in that their
father was permitted to remain with
them so many years. Fifteen years
more than the allotted three score and
ten passed over his head. whitening
his hair. smoothing worldly cares from
his brow and leaving his heart as
pure and gentle as child's. For
several weeks before his death Mr..
Wightman had been afflicted with
creeping paralysis, his sufferings
were intense and death came to him
as relief. The funeral services were
conducted at the home of Mr.. A. D..
Wilson with public service at the
Baptist church. The services were
attended by large number of our
older citizens, the choir sang his fav-
orite hymn LEAD Kindly Light
and Rev. G. H. Stull extolled beauti-
full and truthfully the beauties OF
his Christian life and example. The
Review extends to all its loved ones
it's most sincere sympathy but knows
that they will find comfort and con-
ISOLATION and a source of constant pride
in the noble. tender life he lived ane
the Christian death he died.

Sentiment for Better Waterways.

The extent and urgency of the de-
mand for navigable waterways, as fac
tors in the development of the west
are illustrated by the important con-
ventions which have been called to
consider the question this fall. In this
movement, the Republic says, st. Louis
is to lead in point of impressiveness by
a congress of all the friends and pro-
mOteTs of our great western rivers. In
that gathering will be found members
of the presidents cabinet, senators,
members of the house of representa-
tives, governors of the principal states
of the Mississippi and Missouri val
leys and experts in the methods by
which the work of deepening channels
may be accomplished.
In October the Mississippi River I'm
provement association will meet in
minneapolis TO consider the needs OF
that portion of the upper river Com
mercial. industrial and civic organiza-
tiOns are TO take part in the cOnyen-
tion. also, and it may be expected
that the outcome will increase inter
est in the greater congress in st. Louis
a month later. The Missouri River
congress is TO consider the whole ques-
tion of river betterment and will give
special attention to the deepening of
that artery.
This practical unanimity for public
expenditures that will give the navig-
able streams on this continent their
highest value and utility in interstate
and foreign commerce should have
good effect on congress These is not
likely TO be any success for those hos
tile to further appropriations, and in
difference probably viii become active
cooperation.

Misunderstanding Bryan.

If there ever was public man in
the United States who should not be
misunderstood, it is William ]. Bryan.
And yet, the newspapers, especially the
republican newspapers, are continually
misunderstanding him.
The reason that Mr.. Bryan should
not be misunderstood is because he is
plain. open and straightforward in ev-
erything He is the farthest removed
from being a time-server or sail
trimmer. He is anchored to principle.
He puts that above everything.
The reason that the republican edi-
tors are always misunderstanding him
is because they persist in treating him
as a mere politician. Whereas. ne is far
removed from what we consider a mere
politician.
We have no doubt that Mr.. Bryan
would like to be president of the Uni
ted States. 1t is a rare honor But
this is not the main thing with Mr..
Bryan in connection with this Office.
Ills principal reason for wishing to be
elected to that exalted place is for the
good that he could do in that Office to
the people of this country and to the
people of the world.
But Notwithstanding the fact that
Mr.. Bryan would appreciate the honor
of the Office. and would try TO use it
for the good of humanity, he will not
sacrifice one jot or title of principle in
order to obtain that exalted position.
And this is something that republican
editors refuse to understand-even TO
the point of obstinacy. They are con-
tinuously attributing wrong motives to
Mr.. Bryan. This is where they make
their big mistake.
Mr.. Bryan is an honest man, through
and through; honest in every thought
Mr. Bryan's course lies before him as
plainly as a macadamiZed road running
through prairie country. He has no
inducement to play to the galleries. and
this, because he is no office seeker. If
Mr.. Bryan is ever elected president, il
will be because the Office has sought
him. and not he the office. He is a re-
freshing person in American politics.
The people love him, and follow him,
because he is honest.

GIRL SHOOTS RANCHER;
DARED HIM TO A DUEL
Daughter of State Treasurer of Wyo-
ming Peppers Fathers Foreman
Because He Plaques Her.

Sheridan, Wyo.. Sept. 6.-Miss Edna
Irvine. daughter of the state treasurer,
considered one of the most beautiful
girls in Wyoming, is charged with in
tent to kill because she fired two bull
lets into the hip of George E. Knighton,
her fathers foreman when he ridiculed
her for carrying a big Colts revolver
strapped to her waist. The door of a
barn on Red ranch, her fathers prop
erty, where Miss Irvine is spending the
summer. was left open recently and
some cattle got into the granary. Knigh-
ton blamed Miss Irvine for leaving the
door open. She replied by saying:
Pull your gun, for am going to kill
YOU"
Knighton laughed at her Then she
shot. She contends that Knighton made
move to draw his weapon.
Knighton says Miss Irvine is not to
blame. as he ridiculed her before a
crowd of hands.
