WEYLER AND ocHoNDo CLASH.
Spanish Generals All but Fight With
Swords in the Palace at
Havana.

Key West, Fla, Aug. 16.-Captain General
Weyler and General Ochondo were the
principals in a sensational affair which oc-
CURED shortly before the latter sailed for
Spain. The death of General Ochondo's
nephew. who was lieutenant in the Span
ish army, was the cause of the trouble
There were ugly rumors in circulate re-
tiecting on the young lieutenant, who was
respondence with Maximo Gomez. the in
surgent chief. When Weyler heard of the
rumors, he summoned the young man to
the palace and questioned him. Weyler
was apparently satisfied of the young mans
guilt, and told him that if he did not
commit suicide in twenty-four hours he
would be court-martialed and shot.
his room, and in six hours was a corpse,
having shot himself through the heart,
The affair was hushed up and the Spanish
official report said the young man died of
yellow fever.
Shortly afterward General Ochondo ar
rived In Havana and learned the true story
OF his nephew's death. He was greatly en-
ragged. He Immediately went to the palace
to call Weyler to account The meeting of
do denounced Weyler in the bitterest
terms. alleging that the lieutenant was
guiltless and had been driven to his
death. Ochondo termed Weyler a mur-
derer and butcher, and challenged him to
a duel. The men drew swords and would
have fought in the palace but for the in
reference of other officials.
Two days later General Ochondo sailed
for Spain. He is greatly enraged and says

MADE UP OF TOPEKA DEMOCRATS
WHO CAN'T GO LEEDY.
IT WILL HAVE 300 MEMBERS.
LIKELY TO VOTE THE STRAIGHT RE-
PUBLICAN TICKET.
Eugene Hasan Says the Self-Respect-
ing Democrats of shawnee COun-
ty Are Not Going to Vote
for j. w. Leedy or
Frank DOster.

Topeka, Kas., Aug. l6.-(Special.) Just
before leaving for Colorado. Governor Nor
rili was called upon by committee OF To-
peka Democrats headed by 6. q. Gage, one
of the Oldest and most substantial citi-
zens of the town, who informed him that
a roll of 800 Democrats had been prepared
who proposed to organize themselves into
a Morrill, Democratic Club.
Governor Morrill, thanked his visitors for
their proffered support, but suggested to
them the impropriety of his encouraging
a political organization which did not in
clude as its beneficiaries all of his asso-
ciates upon the state ticket.
To this one of the visitors replied: Don't
rub it in on us too hard at the start gov
ernor. The probabilities are that We will
swallow the whole Republican ticket be-
fore November, but We must get 1t down
by small! mouthfuls"
To the correspondent for the Journal.
Eugene Hagan, who is one of the Demo-
cratic leaders of Shawnee county, said:
THE self-respecting Democrats of this
county are not going to vote for j. w.
Leedy for governor, or for Frank Doster
for chief justice. The man who loves his
state and respects its institutions can never
cast a ballot for a turbulent discrganizer
on the one hand. or an avowed socialist
on the other. 1t is not a question OF party,
but of state honor and pride"
This is a sentiment which may be heard
from the mouths of Democrats on every
side. David Overmyer appears to be the
only prominent Democrat of Shawnee
county who is lending open support to
either Leedy or Doster, and the overwhelm-
ing turn-down which he received in the
recent Democratic primaries here at the
hands of Bob Kepley and his followers
leaves it a wide open question whether
he may be spoken Of as leader or not.

BoTKlN, DosTER AND sTRYKER.
wichita Democrats Decidedly OPP
posed to These Three of the
Demo.POp Nominees.

Wichita. Kas.. Aug. 16.-tSpecial) Many
Democrats of Wichita are decidedly op-
posed to three men on the state ticket
given them at Abilene. Jerry Botkin is
bitter pill which they declare they will
not swallow. He was too rank Prohi-
bitionist while located here as presiding
elder for them to overlook it.
Frank Doster is regarded as an Edward
Bellamy disciple. who has no knowledge
of human nature. and whose mental make
up units him totally for judge.
Professor Stryker. of Great Bend was
nence as Prohibitionist female suffrage
ranter, and he will not receive the Demo-
cratic support here.
In addition to the Democrats who will
bolt these three nominees, there are hum
dreds who will vote the Republican rep
workers for the location of the normal
school here. All citizens of this city and
vicinity are vitally interested in the scheme
of securing a state normal for Wichita,
and they want the state to buy the Car
field university building for that purpose.
and can be purchased for a fraction of the
original cost. 1t is owned by an, Eastern
man who has other heavy property In
terests here. and because of his great in
terest in the advancement of the city, he
has made the state and exceedingly fair
candidates to the legislature with special
reference to the normal school question,
and they are men who will command a
heavy vote outside of the party because of
their friendliness to the normal school
project.
It is safe to say that there are over 100
gold standard Democrats here who will
bolt the silver ticket.

WHENCE CAME SOME FLOWERS.
Garden Favorites and Lovely BlOOm-
crs Have been Gathered.

From Chambers Journal.
From the Alps came the ranunculus, and
from Italy the mignonette in ISIS, rosemary
from the south of Europe in 1884. the jas
mine from Circassa about 1o4S. The
year 1861 saw the introduction Of four time
honored favorites. the auricula from
Switzerland, the pink from Italy. the gilly-
flower and carnation from Flanders. Spen-
ser. by the way, i'll the ''Shephearde's Cal
endar," 1919 classes the carnation. which
he calls the Coronation" with the purple
coiUmbine and the gillyfiower as lovers
flowers. Now the carnation is generally
supposed to have derived its name from
the carnation or flesh color of the original
species. But the word used by Spenser
suggests that carnation is merely an alb
breviation of coronation. in allusion to the
crown-like appearance of the flower. and
its specific name betonica coronaria.
The Pathological Society's New England
Dictionary" does not decide which of the
deiivations is the only true one. though
one must have originated In mistake
Anyhow the shorter form was common in
Shakespeare's time. and we have it on
Dame Quckly's authority that Sir John

was imported from the south of Europe
not later than 1868 and the laburnum from
Hungary about 1916: while Sir Walter Ra-

snowdrop back with him from his short
lived colony of Roanoke, an island off
North Carolina in 1854.
