AT the Ohio Democratic cOnven- ton held in Springfield, Aug. 21st., James L. Campbell was nominated q third time for Governor. His nomination at this convention was the resnlt of an overwhelming de mand by the Ohio democrats, and in point of personal honor has mo parallel in Ohio politics. It was one of the most remarkable conven- tion9 ever held in any state, and was rcplete with enthusiasm and dramatic incidents. The conven- ton inserted platforms endorsing President cleveland and the na. tional platform of 1892, and pro- claims for sound money, still the silver men are not kicking, but de- clare they will support. tue ticket. This augers we'll for the success of the democrats in Ohio, and the re- puolicans are badly hipped, as they never expected so strong candate as Ex Gov Campbell.

profitable results might have been looked for. however, from the qual- ity nfthe association's management. At their office, No. 1642 Arapahoe street, President T. J. Collars is seen to be an indefatigabie and sagaci- ous manager. He has been for many years closely identified with Denvers business interests; and as manager of the mountain depart ment for several insurance compa- nies, has received and disbursed millions of dollars of Trust funds with ability and fidelity. Colonel Collars is widely known through the entire West, and those who known him best assert that in con- nectIon with the officers of the as- sociatlon he will handle the large assets of the Columbia with abso- lute fidelity.
 Mir. Jabez Norman, whose office is No. 902 Equitable building. is vice-president and general counsel. Mir. Norman has been the attorney of the association from the begin ming, and how he has guarded its interests will be understood when the reader is informed that out of nearly S600,000.00 in loans the an- nual report for January 1st '95 shows less than $10,OO0OO in fore closures, and the association has never yet had a lawsuit over any ti- tie accepted, And it is the settled policy of the associations to avoid all possibility of litigation.
 The secretary, Mir. Orrin McNutt, is a veteran building and loan man, having been identified with the Co., lumbia from the beginning. He is always found at his post at the as- sociation's office, and by his court eOus treatment of visitors and en- quirers has done much toward es- tablishing the present popularity of the Columbia.
 The assistant secretary, Mr. HIP. Spencer, has had large field expe- rience in working building and loan associations, and as superintendent of agencies for the Columbia is pushing the field work of the asso- citation.
 Mir. Howard Evans, one of the di- rectors and member of the finance committee, is we'll known citizen of Denver He is a man of unim- peachable integrity. He has been for many years cashier of the Ame- rican National Bank, and in such capacity has been one of the prin- cipal factors in building up one of the greatest financial institutions in the West.
 These are all upright and we'll to do citizens, and not one of whom would lend his name to a question able scheme. Neither is it likely, from their large financial and com mercial experience, that they would be apt to identify themselves with an i'll conceived and proftless one. The plan of the Columbia seems to be feasible and carefully devel- oped. The monthly cost of shares serves to make it poor man's bank, while each member becomes truly and essentially h's owr bank er."
 We will gladly furnish full infor- nation as to plan and working of the Association on application. or will send same by mall to any ad- dress.

very proud.
The invitation OF the bowling team to
the Carroll Institute team to bowl set OF
friendly games was declined by the latter
(asit had right TO do) on the ground that
it would not BOWL any more local teams
this season. Naturally the 7. 81. c. c. felt
somewhat peculiar over this treatment

RICE PAPER.
The Chinese Tree Is Now Successfully
Grown in Florida

Inc CnlneSe Tree Is NOW SuSceSSI uIly
Grown in Florida
The rice-paper tree, one of the most inter
esting OF the flora of China, has recently
been successfully experimental with in
Florida, where 1t now nourishes. with
other sub-tropical and oriental species OF
trees and shrubs, says the st. Louis Repub-
lie. When first transplanted in American
soil the experimenters expressed doubts
OF its hardness, fearing that it would be
unable to stand the winters. All these
fears have vanished, however, and it is
now the universal opinion that it is as
well adapted to the climate of this country
as to that OF the famed Flowery kingdom.
1t is a small tree growing to a height OF
less than 15 feet, with trunk or stem
from three to five inches in diameter. Its
canes, which vary in color according TO
season, are large, soft and downy, the
form somewhat resembling that noticed
in those of the castorbean plant. The cele-
brated rice paper, the product Of this
queer tree, is formed OF thin slices OF the
pth, which is taken from the body OF
the tree in beautiful cylinders several inches
in length.
The Chinese workmen apply the blade OF
q sharp. straight knife to these cylinders
and, turning them round either by rude
machinery or by hand. dexterously pare
the pith from circumference to center.
This operation makes a roll OF extra quality
paper. tue scroll being OF equal thickness
throughout. After a cylinder has thus
been pared it is unrolled and weights are
placed upon it until the surface is rem
dered uniformly smooth throughout its
entire length.
Ii is altogether probable that IL rice paper
making becomes an industry in the United
States these primitive modes VIII all be
done away with.
