OBITUARY.
Dikd. -On October 30, at the home of her parents in this
city, Martha Elinor Ililtner. Her death was caused by heart
disease, aggravated by other complaints and was quite un
expected. The deceased was a graduate of the Lincoln high
school in the class of '87, and then entered the Freshman
class of the University. While Miss Ililtner did not become
generally known among our "students, her winning nature
made friends of all she met, and her sudden death carried
sorrow to many hearts in the University. During her stay
among us, Miss Ililtner was a member of the Palladian society,
which showed its respect for her memory by adjourning its
meeting of November 1. Tin: IIkspickian extends sympathy
to the bereaved family and to the University friends of the
deceased.

Of his heart sho'dlost tho holm;
Sho blamed his fault, but tho fact was UiIb
