Kilker.

The following account of the death
of Mrs. G. P. Kilker, former Garrard
county woman, who some fifteen years
ago left this county for Texas. Mrs.
Kilker with her family lived in the
Paint Lick locality on the Copper Creek
pike between Paint Lick and Carriers
vile.
1.-The sudden death of Mrs. G. P.Kil-
ker, which occurred last night between
IL and l o'clock at her home on Austin
avenue, was severe shock to the
members of the family and to friends.
Mrs. KiIker was we'll and hearty at the
supper hour last night and remained up
until late bed time and never once COM
planned of being i'll. Between II and l
o o'clock she aroused Mr.. Kilker by gett-
ing up and going out onto the gallery
to get fresh air and when she returned
to the room she sat down in chair and
her husband and son were tanning her
when she passed away. Funeral ar
engagements have not been made, but
interment will probably take place
from the residence tomorrow afternoon
following the arrival of the southbOund
Frisco.
The deceased was in her 48th year
and had lived in Brownwood for some
twelve or fourteen years. She was
reared in Kentucky and married there
Hearing of the possibilities of wonder
full Texas the family moved here, and
made the trip with their children in a
wagon. In due time they arrived in
Brownwood, where they have made
their home since.
Mrs. G. P. Kilker is the mother of
seven children, all of whom are living.
They are Buford Kilker of Mounds,
Okla, Mrs. Urban Speck of Huston,
Charlie Kilker of Oregon, Mrs Joe Day,
Forest, Lewis and Raymond of this
city. AS friend and neighbor none
have been better loved Her gentle,
loving disposition and untiring energy
in administering to the wants of her
friends has endeared her to them in a
way that makes the parting sad one
Hers was indeed noble character apd
one that will be missed throughout the
city.
Mrs. G. p. Kilker was a member of
the First Presbyterian church and a
woman who livedher religion everyday.
As neighbor the writer has seen her
in every day life and knows that there
ale but very few nobler characters.
She was kind and indulgent almost to a
fault and ever ready to sacrifice her
pleasure for the happiness of others.
Truly. Brownwood has lost most esti-
mable citizen in the death of this good
woman"

The "TitanticV,. deriving its name
from the Titans, NEUROLOGICAL people
fable as the children of earth and sky,
aid embodying enormous size and
strength, was supposed to be indie
structible; her destruction seems to but
exemplify the feebleness of the works
of man in the hands of the Almighty,
for when the crucial test came, she
crumbled in His hand like an eggshell.
Queen of the Seas, enormous in size
and strength, so sure were her
owners of her strength and pow
er to withstand the danger which beset
sea going craft that they did not deign
even to equip her with the life saving
equipment which is the adjunct of
every craft that goes upon the great
waters, The toll that was paid for
this criminal negligence was the loss of
1852 precious lives, lives that might
have been saved had the owners of the
vessel not overrated her ability to
withstand the elements and provided
her with sufficient of the modern
life saving appliances with. which
all modern vessels are supplied. The
destruction of the Titantic and the
resultant terrible loss of life, serves
but to demonstrate the fact that He
holds US all in the hollow of His hand.

IN VOTE
SEEN BY BRYAN
Believes the Passage of Ryan
Resolution Is a Great
Moral Triumph.

BALTIMORE, June 2s.-William ].
| Bryan had no word TO say today on
the first ballot cast for the presiden-
tial nomination by the convention,
and after the adjournment of the all
night session the Nebraskan hurried
to his hotel, where he retired for a
needed rest. He indicated that the
delegates had already spoken their
mind against Underwood and Har-
mon, but was non.committal as tc
whether his choice was Clark or Will
son, although he added that he had
voted for Clark.
Mr.. Bryan believes that he has
achieved a great moral victory In
securing the passage of his Morgan
Ryan-Belmont resolution, which was
hurled into the conversion like a
bombshell last night. Over the break
fast table this morning MI. Bryan
talked freely of the resolution, ano
wnen asked what the effect would
be replied:
"You wait for a week. There has
never been such an alignment of
political party against an interest
Just see the vote that was cast fol
the resolution"
"Did not the elimination of thu

to nettle Mr.. Bryan and he gave no
definite answer.
MIR. Bryan, it haN been suggested
among delegates that conditions
might arise that would cause you to
bolt"
Il don't reply to every report that
is started about me-" answered the
Nebraskan. Il don't think any man
has the right to ask me hat ques-
ton. When this convention started
could you tell what was going to hap
pen? A mans course of action must
be d etermined as circumstances
arise"
Mr.. Bryan's friends say that the
passage of the Morgan-Ryan-Bel-
mont resolution has shown the coun-
try that this is a progressive con-
vention and a progressive must be
named.
Headquarters of the national COM
mittee and of the State delegations
at the Belvedere Hotel were somno-
lent and serene in the early hours
today. contrasting strangely with
the marked activity and excitement
of yesterday. Worn out, the leaders
and delegates had gone to bed to
gather strength for the final engage
ment of the nominating battle to.
night.
National Committeeman Clark
Howell, of Georgia, was of the
few leaders about during the morn
ing hours. He scanned the vote
closely and asserted that Underwood
would be the man named for the
head of the ticket.

The Clark delegates and parts of
the gallery frequently interrupted
him with rounds of applause and the
blowing of tin horns.
Senator Reed urged the delegates to
abandon the "tin horn kind of APP

Flags were distributed among the

Pearl Brewer, the pretty 12-year-
old daughter of Governor Brewer, or
Mississippi, mounted the press STAND
and waved an American flag and then
an Underwood banner. This brought
renewed cheering.
Mr.. Bankhead completed his speech
ct 11:17 p. M, nominating Oscar w.
Underwood. Alabama started a dem

Banners, flags and Autographs were
waved. Georgia, Mississippi and
some of ~California's delegates joined
In the cheering.
There seemed to be but rev Under-

The Alabama delegation started TO
march about the hall,
A delegate carrying a pretty little

PLAYED. But only the boom OF the

Resembling din. To add to the gen

there like sharpshooters. A woman
carrying a Wilson banner tried to
follow the example of the New Jer-
sew editor yesterday and climb onto
the press stand, but the police got
her.

Chairman Parker tried to stop the
disorder, but he might just as well
have tried to stop Niagara sweeping

band helped by bursting forth with

The uproar continued just twenty
two minutes.
Senator Reed was in good voice. In
q light gray suit, soft shirt and flow
ing necktie. he looked as democratic
as he talked.
Midnight found the crowd in the
galleries still practically intact. Mrs
Norman K. Mack, SURROUNDED by
Baltimore society leaders, listened in
tently. The delegates showed a re-
markable lack of restlessness. They
