death OF The GOVERNORS MOTHER,
The Good Woman Passed Away Sunday
Morning-Interment In Denver.

Mrs. Mary Josephine Otero, widow of
Hon. Miguel Antonio Otero, who repre-
sented New Mexico in the thirty-fourth,
thirty-fifth and thirty-sixth congresses,
and mother of Gov. Miguel A. Otero,
Maj. Page B. Otero, of this city, and
Mrs. H. j. O'Bryan, of Denver, passed
peacefully away at 5 o'clock on Sunday
morning at the room she has occupied
at st. Vincent sanitarium for nearly
two years. She never recovered con-
seriousness after the total paralysis of
her body about 5 o'clock on Thursday
afternoon. Her children were all at her
side when the end came.
Mrs. Otero was born in Charlestown,
s. c., on November II, 1910, and was
married to Hon. Miguel Antonio Otero
was a woman of refined and cultivated
intellect and many accomplishments;
her life was filled with the fragrance Of
benevolence and charity; her dev otion
were marked characteristics. This is
the testimony of those who knew her
well during the years before she be-
came an invalid, and was obliged to re-
tire from the social circles that she long
adorned.
The body was taken to the cathedral
at 8 o'clock this morning, where a
requiem low mass was said in the pres
ence of a large concourse of people, and
thence it was conveyed to the Denver
& Rio Grande station for shipment to
Denver, where it will be placed at rest
in the family lot in beautiful Riverside
cemetery, alongside of the husband who
preceded her into the great beyond, a
daughter, and the oldest son Of Govern
or Otero. Governor Otero, Maj. Page B.
Otero and Mrs. H. J. O'Bryan accom-
panied the body to Denver.

A New Industry Contemplated for the Cap
ital City.
Charles E. Beinert, who has faithfully
served during the past two years and a
half a. night ticket agent at the Santa
Fe station in this city, has ordered from
Cincinnati a complete steam laundry
outfit, including a 2O-horse power boiler
and a 10-horse power engine, for use in
the capital city. He has leased the two
spacious rooms in the Qu%intana block,
at present occupied as the Offices of the
territorial auditor and treasurer, and
thus has plenty of room to expand his
business at pleasure. Manager Sparks,
Of the local water company, believing
sincerely in the wisdom Of encouraging
home industry, has quoted Mr.. Beinert
as liberal water rates as he could con-
sistently. 1t may be added that the
promoter of this deserving and needed
enterprise contemplates putting in a
wool securing plant in the neal future.
He will have ample room and power to
operate such a plant in connection with
his laundry.
The laundry will be known as 1.-THE
Capital Steam Laundry"

MIDDLEBURG'S centennial.

We clip the following from a
Centre county paper:
"Uhe county commissioners and
the V6rgess of Bellcfonte have issued
call to the citizens of the county to
assemble in the Arbitration room in
the court house this wednesday,
evening for the purpose of an organ
ization to prepare tor the proper
celebration of Centre county's CEN
tennial. This matter should be en-
couraged everywhere and the event
celebrated inthemost fitting manner"
Some months ago the Posi- called
it's readers attention to the fact that
it is now 100 years since the town of
Middleburg was laid out. The GEN.
tennial should be celebrated in a
fitting manner. A day should be
selected at once. The facts should
be collected and history of the
town should be written. Any day
almost during the entire year would
do, but we suggest that July 18th be
selected, owing toit being National
holiday and it comes about the md
die of the year.
We should not forget the memoir
able deeds ofthe hardy pioneers who
endured a rough ocean voyage of
5000 miles, nor the privation they
suffered in this wild forest 100 years
ago. The Indian with his tomahawk
was a constant me mace to peace-lOv-
ing citizens. The Stump's Run
Disaster, which occurred within the
present limits of the borough, still
haunts us. 1t occurred January IL,
1868. Frederick Stump, a German
of PENIS township, Cumberland
now Snyder county, did inhumanly
and wicked kill four Indian men and
two Indian women in his own house,
Sunday, Jan. 10th, 1868. Not con-
tent with this inhuman murder, he
went the next day IA miles up the
creek to an Indian cabin where he
The Middleburgh post. [volume] (Middleburgh, Snyder Co., Pa.) 1883-1916, 1900-03-22

put to death and burnt an Indian
woman, two girls and a little child.
a. X. Git several years ago wrote :
"The cabin was located little north
of Middleburg on lands now owned
by Henry S. Smith near Il run. This
stream empties into Middlecreek
near the town and up to this day
bears the name, 'Stump's Run to
perpetuate the disgraceful name of
Frederick Stump, the Indian killer
as he was tamiliarly known by the
settlers of Middlecreek Valley. Years
afterward a school house was built
near the place where the tragedy
was committed now in the borough
limits. The old school house is
still standing and is converted into
a dwelling house and was lick
named 'Stump's Run Academy"
There are many other important
events. There was a pioneer of
every large family now residing in
this community. Some of the de-
scendanls have traditional events of
that early poriod that should be con-
signed to paper and made perma-
nent record that time can not oblit-
crate. Time runs its ceaseless course.
Those who possess these traditions
pass from time to eternity and the
record to the living generations both
present and future, become a no.
nenity. This should be a season
when not only the people of Middle
burg but the entire county, should
join hands and celebrate the, centen-
nial of Middleburg, for as years the
county seat of Snyder couny. ,i

lected and as other towns in this
vicinity have been celebrating their
centenuials, it behooves Middleburg
to put ON her armor for day or two
and do her duty toward collecting
local history, making new friend
ships and ce,nenting old ones into
still stronger ties. We call upon
the chef burgess, the town council
and the citizens of Middleburg to

leaders in the Senate on last Monday
pictured the Southern Democrats in
the true light when he made the bru-
tai declaration on the floor OF the
United States Sepate:-
"'Iet me tell you how we were situated in
our State. We had l25,OOO negroes OF voting
age and we had 100 600 whites. Now, can you
lift yourself over the fence with your boot
straps and beat that by honest methods. Yet
YOU stood up here and insisted that we must
give these people "a free vote and q fair count :"
They had it for eight years, rs long ss bayonets
stood there. and in 1876 they sent more bay"-
nets, because we had got the devil in us by that
time, and we did not care whether we had any
government. When that happened we took
the government away. We stuffed ballot boxes.
| We shot them. We are not ashamed Of IT,"

ed as a peroration TO the next Ma
