Artistic TattOoinC.

Probably the most artistically tat
toocd man in the world is William
Furncss. a son of DIR. Horace Howard
FurncSs. the noted Shakcspearian
scholar. Mr.. Furness spent a long
term in Japan. and it was there that
the figures that adorn his body were
executed. A splendid reproduction of
the Goddess of Love covers his chest,
and the God of Thunder illuminat ties
his back. Snakes and birds by the
dozen mark his arms and thighs. A
pagOda is designed ON one shoulder,
and fearful and wonderful collec-
ton of geometrical designs covers the
other shoulder. A Chinese boat is tat
tOoed on one leg and a dragon looks
up from the other. The artist who
executed these designs was paid S12
an hour for his services, an appalling
fee in that country, where 25 cents
per diem is princely salary

The appointment of George T. Locke as
assistant postmaster OF this city is hereby
announced GU the authority OF Pos. master
7 Thomas Or. Fitch.
This settles a lively local fight for this
/ important position. It evidently has
! lifted a load from the heart of Mr.. Fitch.
whose movements have been trailed from
morning till night during the past two
/ weeks by the candidates for the place.
/ The fact that all the candidates were good
I Democrats and good men and. with one
! or two exceptions, competent TO
fill the place, made the position
OF Mr.. Fitch having the appointment 10
make, more unenviabie. All the candi-
dates were also personal friends OF his and
II he had places TO go around he would
probably give every man Of them posi-
ton.
Mr.. Locke was the last man 10 enter the
race and has been candidate only four or
five days. He has always been Mr.. Fitch's
choice, at least il is said SO, but other bust
ness engagements, which shifted abont re-
Gently, were such that he did not consider
himself justified in being a candidate.
George Poston Locke comes from a gene
illogical tree of Democracy whose roots
and branches extended back to the days of
Madison. His grandfathers on both
sides were Democrats and had
been prominent in the politics of
Ohio for over half century. He was
born June %, 1861, at Logan. Hooking
county, Ohio, anc after attending the
common schools was sent TO well known
business college at Oakland, Cal, where
he graduated. He returned to his home
In OHIO and was made bookkeeper and
afterwards business manager OF a large
plg-irOn institution there. He was mar
ried to Miss Dora Lucky ID 1885 and the
Year after moved TO Wichita, where he en-
barked in the boot and shoe business. the
firm Being Locke & Lopez. About five
years ago lie became business manager of
the Journal. ana afterwards became its
proprietor. Four years ago he sold tue
paper to the Beacon and went TO that
paper as advertising manager, In which
capacity he remained till last week, whea
ne was maize assistant business manager
He never held a public office and never
was a candidate for one till this time.
Mr.. Locke has always been popular
and bis general friendship vii h the bust
ness interests is what first impressed Mr..
Fitch with the idea that he would be well
adapted for the position. At any rate
there WAS IA big pressure brought to bear on
Mr.. Fitch in his behalf by business men.
The other candidates, or at least a great
many Of them, are sore over their disap-
point ment as very few of them knew that
Mr.. Locke was In the field ill! yesterday.
Mr.. Locke will not take his position for
a few months, probably Oct l. Mr..
Moore, the present efficient assistant post
master, will serve In the meantims.
