ROYCE WINS APPOINTMENT.
Is rIade Bank Commissioners Over
Opposltion of Governors Friends.

Governor Hoch. last Saturday. an
nOunced the appointment OF John Y.
Royce, editor Of the Dispatch OF this
city, as State Bank Commissioner
The appointment was made over the
opposition of such men as STUDIOS and
Dolley who have been prominent as
the leaders of the new management"
in Kansas politics and who are re-
sponsible for the candidacy and cleo
tion OF Gov. Hoch. For over fifteen
years Mr.. Royce has been the most In
innate friend Of the governor and it
has been generally admitted that he
would receive a good appointment I'M
der the administration and while the
office towhich be has been named was
the only one be desired heneyer asked
Mr.. Hoch for that position, and only
few days before the appointment
was announced had requested that
the appointment be given to Mr.
Young Of Beluit, because Of The strong
opposition he believed it would be a
grave mistake for Mr.. Hoch to name
him. During all IF the time the ap'
pointment was under consideration
no personal matters were urged
against Mr.. Royce and the whole OPP
position was of a political nature.
The term for which Mr.. Royce isap'
pointed is four years and the salary is
$500 per annum. Mr.. Royce will re-
tain his residence in this city but the
duties OF his Office will keep him away
a major portion uf the time.
The poStOtilce becomes vacant by
reason Of his resignation which Will
be sent to Washington this week, and
a new postmaster will be named 10
the tnear future There are several
receptive candidates from among
whom good selection can be made.
The success o! Mr.. Royce places him
among the leaders in state politics.
The Office Of bank commissioner car
ries with 1t considerable prestige and
is Of little less Importance than the
oiiice OF governor ITSELF 1t is one Of
the best aud most desirable positions
in the state.
Mr.. Royce went to Topeka Monday
night to prepare to take charge of his
new position, his term teginning
April first.
There is no question about the abill-
ty OF the new commissioner, and now
that he has been successful We hope
that the appointment will prove a
credit TO Phlllipsburg and the state
Of kansas.

Three years later they moved to Phil

having been spent In this city.
Mrs. Garberson has been in feeble
health for several years but at last sud.

ciples Of Cnrst in May, 1881, and was
an active worker Ia the Masters cause
until falling health interfered about
i've years ago. But she continued To

would permit, until the end came.
Mr.. Garberson had gone to the new
