L
Born a,nd Reared in Cass County
but at Time of Death Was a
Resident of Plainview, Neb.
Wm. A. Royal, born and reare
to middle age manhood in I hi-
county, near old Rock Bluffs, but
who -moved a few years ago to
Plainview, Neb., died Tuesday
evening, August 5, 'about
o'clock, at the Mayo Brothers'
hospital in Rochester, .Minnesota.
Mr. Royal had been- sufferin
for the past few years with cancer
of the stomach, and was taken to
the above hospital a short time
ago, where he submitted to a most
serious operation last week, that
of a complete removal of the
stomach. The operation relieved
his sufferings and for a short
time he seemed to improve
While a large percentage of these
opijra4ions have proven success
ful, Mr. Royal's condition was too
weak to stand the shock and he
grew worse until relieved by death
Tuesday evening.
The remains will be brought to
his home today and the funeral
will be held from the home to
morrow (Friday) afternoon. Mr
and; Mrs. Kennedy of Murray de
parted Thursday morning for
Plainview to attend the funeral.
.Mrs. Kennedy and Mrs. Royal are
sisters.
Mr. Royal was about. Jii years
of agt a brother of the late Mrs.
Col. SeyboK and Glen Royal, both
of whom died a -few years ago,
and with the death of Wm. A.
Royal the chapter of all that is
earthly of this excellent family.
Injured in Runaway.
Charles Herren came very near
meeting with a serious accident
while engaged in his -farm work
Wednesday morning. Something
about the bridle on one of the
horses needed his attention, and
in passing to the heads of the
horses to arrange the same the
animal became frightened and
the team ran away. Charles was
tangled up in the vehicle to such
an extent that he came out with
several minor injuries, but noth
ing serious. Quite a gash was
cut in his head, several bruised
places about the body and his
ankle injured. It was a fortunate
affair that he was not more
seriously injured.
J
Returning to Nebraska.
Mrs. Glinton Totten of Wau-
keeney, Kansas, has been visiting
at the home of her sister, Mrs.
Joseph Lloyd, for the past few-
days, awaiting the arrival of Mr.
Totten, who loaded his goods at
Waukeertey Tuesday of this
week and will arrive in Muray
Friday. They- expect to make
Cass county their home for the
present at least. Crop conditions
in their part of Kansas have been
very poor again this year. The
Journal joins with their many
friends in welcoming them back
to Cass county.
Successful Sheep Man.
Sidner Wimmer, who about
fifteen years ago
was brought
from his native state ofVirginia
by his uncle, George Shrader, to
Cass county, then a young inan
who had been injured in a rail
road accident to such an extent
that he lost one arm and one
limb badly crippled. Sidney re
mained in Cass county a very
brief time with his uncle. Later
he wanted to go farther west, and
his uncle gave him the money to
go to Oregon. Here Sidney became
interested in the sheep business,
and slowly but surely he began to
gather up a herd. He continued
in this line for many years until
he has become one of the big
sheen men of the state. 1 Last
year he cleared over $7,000' from
his herd, and this week he comes
to South Omaha with three cars,
and on this trip he takes advant
age of the opportunity to come
down to Murray for a visit with
his uncle and family. Mr. Wim
mer worked hard for the success
ful end that he has reached, hay
ing paid h'isv uncle back all the
money he advanced him, with in
terest, and is what may be term'
eVl, an independently rich man.
A Pleasant Evening.
Miss Esther Ray entertained a
number of her young friends at
her home last Saturday evening in

Selection of Old Battleship
Oregon For the Honor Pe- .
culiarly Appropriate.
HE famous old battleship Ore
gon, on which Secretary of the
k Navy Daniels plans to confer
the honor of being the first
battleship to go through the Fanama
canal, is now in Puget sound getting
the finishing touches on her $1,000,
000 modernization treatment. She is
being fitted with every convenience
and improvement, including a new
military mast and a system of fire con
trol, a wireless telegraph outfit and a
number of , improved labor saving de
vices. She will, when she goes through
the canal, still look pretty much as she
did In 1S9S, with her low freeboard,
but inside she will be as new a ship
as the giant super-Dreadnought New
York, whose keel was laid in 1012 and
which now Is being rushed along to
completion at the navy yard in Brooklyn.
Secretary Daniels' argument is that
the sentiment of history requires that
the Oregon, whose famous hurry trip
around the Horn may be said to have
caused the canal to be constructed,
shoufd open that great project to the
world.

The Oregon bad passed her life in

day the Oregon steamed out of J.'uget

The blowing up of the Maine in Ila

imperative for the government to as

It was that emergency with the bat

build the Panama canal. As It was,
there was nothing to do but to order
the Oregon around Cape Horn, Involv

Pellagra, for which physicians have
found no cure, is spreading beyond the
zone to which it has previously been
confined and is Invading new territory;
according to the belief of the United
States public health service, based
upon statistics just made public on the
prevalence of the disease in Arkansas,
Oklahoma and Texas from 1907 to 1912.
Reports from these three states, bor
dering on the area in .which pellagra
has most extensively existed in this
country, show, says Surgeon C. II.
Lavinder, the prevalence of the disease
"to no inconsiderable degree."
"This suggests rather strongly," be
adds, "that pellagra is increasing the
area in which it is present and invad
ing new territory. Further inquiry is
needed to determine this with any de
gree of accuracy." The figures indi
cated an Increase in the disease during
1912.
Tdtal number of case3 In Oklahoma
during the six years was 472. with a
death rate per 100 cases of 04.91; in
Texas, 2.62S cases; death rate. 4G.G1;
In Arkansas, 045; death rate. 41.90.
The figures for Arkansas for 1912 were
Incomplete.
" The report, which supplemented a
previous pellagra report, giving statis
tics for other states, is of peculiar in
terest at this time In connection with
the bill of Representative Johnson of
South Carolina for a large appropria
tion from congress for the erection of
a hospital at Spartanburg, S. C, for

that stormy, .treacherous passage.
When the Oregon reached Hid he re
ceived a cable from Washington say
ing war between Spain and the Unit
ed States had been declared. The de
partment advised him to linger awhile
at Rio, but he pushed on to Rabin,
where Washington wired suggesting
disabling his engines if necessary in
order to avoid being denied shelter at
a neutral port It was feared at that
time that the Spanish fleet, then on its
way west across the Atlantic, would
pounce on the Oregon and destroy it.
"Come on; we believe you can do it:"
flnajly cabled the navy department to
Captain Clark. He assembled his offi
cers and crew on deck, read them the
message and told then he believed the
Oregon could lick the whole Spanish
fleet. Anyway, he'd take a chance at
it, and away he went, right up on the
east coast of South America, with
every gun and every officer and every
man ready for instant action.
Country In Suspense.
The suspense throughout the United
States over the fate of the Oregon was
no less acute than that which existed
on the .battleship herself during the
final days and hours of that memorable
voyage. At Barbados Captain Clark
got word from Washington that the
Spanish fleet had arrived somewhere
in those waters and was lying in wait.
The captain adopted the rase of pre
tending to scurry back to Brazil.- lie
steamed south, then west, and by mak
ing a wide detour in the Atlantic he
passed around the Spnnlsh fleet, and
on May 23, sixty-five days after leav
ing Frisco, the Oregon, gray as an old
seagull, appeared at Jupiter inlet, Flor
ida. The whole country thrilled at
the news. It was but a "step" from
Jupiter inlet to Havana, where, as the
Oregon steamed past tho American war
fleet to her place, she was saluted with
guns and flags and music. All the
bands played "There's a New Bully In
Town."
Engagement at Santiago.
From Havana the fleet steamed
around Cuba to Santiago, where the
Oregon, after narrowly escaping col
lision with a powder supply boat on
June 5. took her share in destroying
the Spanish fleet on July 3. The story
U that the Oregon passed the Indiana,
the Iowa and the Texas and held her
own as to speed with the cruiser
.Brooklyn in the rush at Admiral Cer
vera's squadron.- The Oregon's fine
toiler condition after her long trip was
ascribed to the fact that she had used
no sea water.
In June, 1900, on her return to the
Pacific, the Oregon went on the rocks
near Japan. She was patched up a
bit at Kure and then went to Puget
sound, where she was In tlrydocfc from
October of 1901 to March of 1P02.

FOR CHEAPER FUNERALS.
Motorbusea te Hold Casket and Twenty-seven
Mourners.
The high cost of dying is to be low
ered in Chicago with the advent of
motorbuses. The funeral coach will
have a compartment to the right of the
chauffeur's seat for the coffin, and
above it a place for flowers. Near the '
driver will sit the minister and under
taker, and there will bb accommoda
tions for twenty-seven mourners.
One of the principal items In the cost
of funerals is transportation. The fu
neral coach, it is said, will reduce this
cost by $30 for the number of mourn
ers given." There are 31,000 funerals
annually In the city.
