A Pathetic Death.

The death of Mrs. Benz.
Martin, which occurred Monday
night is, indeed, very pathetic
one.
The deceased was among the
first, together with husband and
three children, who suffered an
attack of small pox, about two
months ago, at which time the
family resided about five miles
east of Broken Bow.
The family all recovered from
the disease, the clothing and
furniture not burned was thor
oughly fumigated and the family
moved to farm 9 miles south.
When Mrs. Sampson died of
the dread disease a few weeks
ago leaving six children, one a
babe but a week old, no one could
be found to take care of it, so
Mrs. Martin, through sympathy,
consented to do so. Six days
after taking the baby home it
broke out with the disease that
had taken its mothers life.
Last Friday a child was borr
to Mr.. and Mrs. Martin, but il
lived only few hours, and it,
burial occurred Sunday. Or
Monday night Mrs. Martin died
the cause being obstruction O
the intestines. Under the cir
cumstances, no funeral services
could be held and the remains
were inferred in the Broken Bow
cemetery by Funeral Directo
! Cole.
This is a sad hour for Mr.
Martin and three motherles
) children and the heartfelt sympa
: thy of everyone goes out to then
in their severe affection.

FOR COMPTROLLER.
A Broken Bow Citizen in Line for
Promotion and His Chances are
Very FIattering.

Ed. Royse, Secretary of the
State Banking Board, is being
literally endorsed by the bankers
of Nebraska for Comptroller of
the Currency.
The move was inagurated at
a special meeting of the mem
bers of the board of associated
banks of Lincoln Tuesday night
of last week by endorsing Mr..
Royse for the position, in case
there should be a vacancy.
On Thursday following, the
bankers of the Omaha Clear ng
House association gave him
unanimous endorsement for the
position. Since then Mr.. Royse
has received the unsolicited prom
Use of scores of endorsements from
prominent bankers and others
over the state, as well as the
united support of our state dele
cation in Congress.
This spontaneous endorsement
of Mr.. Royse for this high posi-
ton is gratifying not only to
him but to his many friends in
Broken Bow where Mr.. Royse
still claims his residence and to
where he makes his annual visit
to cast his ballot at the general
election.
In commenting on the en-
dorsement, by the bankers of
Lincoln the Lincoln Daily Star
Says:
THE splendid record of the
state during the recent finan-
cial storm, during which not a
single failure was reported and
in which all the banks appeared
to be in excellent shape, is cred
tied in a measure to Secretary
Royse, and his excellent work
with the banking board in pre-
vious years is taken by the asso-
ciated banks as sufficient basis
for the unanimous endorsement
accorded him.
