JUDGE DAVID MARTIN'S DEATH
Noted Kansan and Eminent Lawyer Gone.
Judge David Martin died in his home at Atchison, on March 2, after a few days sickness from a complication of pneumonia and heart disease. He had suffered from a severe attack of the grip, which lasted over six weeks, but had recovered sufficiently to come to Lawrence, to take up his lectures in Equity before the law school. It was very evident to all that his long sickness had destroyed his former vigorous constitution, and that he was doing his work under very great difficulties and much suffering.
Judge Martin was born at Catwaba, O., on October 16, 1839. He attended the common schools of that state and at the age of 17 began work in a flooring mill. He learned the trade of a miller to perfection and followed it for six years. During his last two years in the mill he studied law. He afterward taught school, at the same time keeping up his legal studies. He practiced for a while at Mechanicsburg, O. He served in the army under General Burnside in the One Hundred and Twenty-ninth Ohio. Two years after the close of the war he came to Kansas. That was on April 2, 1867. Soon after his arrival he established a law office at Atchison and in due time was elected justice of the peace, which position he held for years. He was next chosen city attorney of Atchison.
Judge Martin's career as a jurist in Kansas is widely known. he was one of the most popular judges who ever sat on the bench in Kansas. In 1880 he was nominated for district judge by the Republicans. There were four counties in the district then and Judge Martin was so popular in the four different counties he was overwhelmingly elected. Four years later he was renominated for the same position by acclamation and he had become so popular during his term that he was elected the second time without opposition.
There was general regret throughout the district when he resigned the judorship to become a member of the law firm of Waggener & Orr a few months before the expiration of his second term.
About five years ago a charge was made in the law firm of Waggener, Mastin & Orr, Judge Martin resigning and Chief Justice A. H. Horton of Topeka taking his place in the firm. Governor Morrill appointed Judge Martin Chief Justice in the place of Judge Horton.
At the last election Judge Martin was nominated on the Fusion ticket for Associate Justice of the Supreme court but was defended with the rest of that ticket. Since that time the most of Judge Martin's time has been spent in his home in Atchison
At the exet state election Judge Martin was elected by 25.000 over Charles K. Holliday, but a year later was defeated at the Republican state convention by T. E. Garner of Salina, Kan.
The Judge's connection with the law school began in 1896 and had been continued ever since, he being considered one of the most interesting lecturers on the law school faculty.
On Tuesday morning the chapel exer
cities of the University were devoted to the memory of Judge Martin. 1 r. Burdick addressed the gathering and in a most fitting and beautiful manner paid his respects to the memory of the deceased, first reviewing the life of the dead man, then portraying his lovable and devoted character, and finishing by drawing from such a character those lessons which were so dear.
Following this, the following resolutions of respect were adopted by the law school:
The faculty and students of the School of Law, of the University of Kansas, have learned with profound sorrow of the death of Honorable David Martin, one of the lecturers of this school.
Judge Martin's active career in this state as a lawyer, judge of the district court, and chief justice, extended over a period of thirty years of active, diligent service. As a judge he presided with distinguished honor. His great learning, simple fairness, sincerity of purpose and unfailing kindness, commanded the entire confidence of litigants and the affection of the people. Bench and bar alike looked to him in confidence as a pattern of judicial integrity and ability. He entered upon his duties in this University in the year 1806 as a lecturer upon Equity of Jurisdiction—a subject admirably suited to his learning and experience. His work was done with an enthusiasm, and withal, with that degree of personal kindness that endowed him to his associates and won not only their confidence, but the respect and love of the whole student body.
We sincerely lament our great loss, and, amid our own personal grief offer our heartfelt sympathy to the sorrowing family, in this their hour of great affliction.
Committee: A. W. Benson, Wm. L. Burdick, Andrew W. Wilson, Geo. B. Tucker, W. B. Dickinson, A M. Seddon, Chas. E. Wakefield, G. E. Cassity.
How a College Club GH Saw the College-
Cement Basket Ball Game.
All winter there has been consider-
bl rivalry between the College club
and the Century club. Last Tuesday
evening we girls of the College club
showed our loyalty by going en masse
o the basket ball game. We went
early to get front seats and our line
arty was highly successful. When the
Century boys and girls came they took
what chairs were left and sat down at
one side.
At half past nine the teams came out. The Century boys booked horrid in their red suits. Four of our boys wore dark suits and the fifth was all in white. Someone dubbed him snowflake. He was just all right and didn't seem afraid of getting his clothes dirty for he was always in the thick of the fight.
The game began and soon became very exciting. Back and forth went the ball, now perilously near the Century goal, then approaching our basket.
The umpire's whistle blew, "foul on Lovelace," he said. I guess Mr. Lovelace had been trying some foot ball tacies. We all cheerer when Mr. Foster throw for goal and was successful. Then the ball was tossed up again. Sometimes the reds would get it and advance it steadily toward their goal, when the blacks would make a desperate rush, sizzle the ball and send it flying toward our basket. Once in a while the men would all get into a regular foot ball mixup. Then the whistle would
blow. Usually the umpire said "foul on red" and Mr Foster "throw for goat". He didn't throw as well as usuel but I guess his arm was sore for he had a handkerchief tied around it.
At the end of the first half the score was 7 to 2 in our favor. Aster a short time the second half began. Our men played well and just to be generous let the others make a few goals. Then the Century crowd acted crazy. The clapped their little hands and yelled their little yell and whistled their little whistle and stamped their big feet.
We had been told to yell with our hands and it kept us busy most of the time and finally we came out victorious by the score of 14 to 7, easily proving that the Century club is still the last century.
TO BOYS OF SENIOR CLASS.
The class of 1502, of the University of Kansas, having become cognant of the fact that the boys of the senior class of the same University, either of their own free will and accord or by having been invigiled into the assumption of such dignity by the wiles of certain insidious and designing politicians, have adopted, secured and worn as an insignia of their class, hats of a peculiar shape, and thereupon bands of a brilliant and disagreeable blue;
WHEREAS, The said class of 1901 has departed from the immemorial custom of their ancestors and immediate predecessors in other senior classes, by discarding the funereal cap and gown which alone is considered sedate enough for the omniscient and conmpotent senior class, and substituted the aforesaid blue band.
WHEELAS. They have forgotten their honor and their chivalry to the ladies of their class by the aforesaid departure from the principles of co-education.
WHEREAS. They have thought to show their seniority and superiority by flaunting the same rags before the eyes of the class of 14.02; be it known that the junior class thus expresses its disgust, and in pursuance of that opinion
BEIT RESOLVED, That after the serving of due notice on the said senior class and the publishing of this document in the "Kansas UNIVERSITY WEEKLY," all the hat-hands mentioned above will be liable to confiscation.
JUNIOR CLASS,
Committee.
The Senior engineers are all working on these these days.

KANSAS TRACK TEAM NEWS.
The Nebraska basket ball team finished its southern trip with the game at Independence Mo., Tuesday night. Out of a series of three games all were lost. The first, with Topeka on Saturday night, resulted in a score of 23 to 21 in favor of Topeka; this was the closest game in the series. The second game was with Haskell Monday night resulting in the score of 52 to 24 for Haskell. The final game was played at Independence Tuesday the latter winning by 35 to 11.
It was fortunate that K. U, also could not have gotten a crack while they were distributing victories so pronunciously.
The game at Ottawa Monday night between K. U. and Ottawa University was won by K. U. The game was fast from the first whistle, although K. U. had no serious trouble in maintaining the lead. The team work of the latter excelled although Ottawa passed the ball very skillfully. The scores made were as follows: F. Owens, forward, four goals, one foul; H. Owens, centre, one goal; Smith, back, one foul; Fees, back, one goal; Ellis, forward, one goal; Cook, center, one goal two fouls; Gartian, back, one goal one foul; Saudin, back one foul.
The Haskell team by defeating the Nebraska Monday night obtained the championship of three states, Kansas Missouri and Nebraska. K. U. is the only team that has given the Indians any trouble this year and expects to win next time.
The College Club defeated the Century club Tuesday night by a score of 14 to 7. The game was marked by rough play throughout, frequently taking the form of a foot ball scrimmage.
