TREE-PLANTING CEREMONY.
william n. JacksoD's Remarks to the
school, Children.

Yesterday was a memorable day at the
No. public school, at the corner of Vir-
ginia avenue and Huron street The pupils
were engaged in a tree ceremony in honor
of Mr. William n. Jackson, who has Wis
tied the school and talked to the children
a number of times and is much beloved by
them. The preliminary exercises OF music
were held in the wide hail. which was deco
rated with spring blossoms and branches,
and souvenir programmes with a photo
gravure of Mr.. Jackson, were distributed.
The children sang good class of music
leading composers being represented, and
the} were solos by Mrs. f. f. Dewhurst
soprano; Mrs. S. L. Morrison, alto, and
Master Thad Rich After these exercises
the children and a large company of Wis
itors went to the north end of the school
yard, where the elm was soon put into its
permanent place. A poem written by Mr..
Meredith Nicholson for the occasion was
read by Miss Georgia Alexander, principal
of the building, and then the children re-
cited Clarence Stedman's ode at the dedi-
cation of Greeleys monument, which had
been adapted Tor the occasion by one OF
the teachers.
Mr. Jackson then addressed the pupils in
his own gentle way. we do not appreciate
the daily, common things OF life, the bless
ings of God and His watchfulness, said he.
THE love of parents is common, but how
often do you tell your parents that you
love them. 1t is a great deal to be obedient
but it is great also to be obedient kindly -
Mr.. Jackson urged the children to tell
the teachers or show in some way the at
lection that is felt for them. Mr.. Jackson
described the schooling he had, which was
scant and only to be secured a short time
in the winter. He promised the children
that some day he would visit the school
and tell them how the public schools of
his words were full of kindly advice to be
helpful to others and not only would that
make others. but themselves happy. The
dedication of the tree was made by Rev.
f. f. Dewhurst, ITO Him who gave and
to the children who shall gather here in

Men Who Want to Fill HOIman's shoes
IL. w. IincL in, Tnxxn

John w. 1inck, of jefferson county was
In the city yesterday and called upon the
Governor with plea that the election of
fixed for an early date Most of the Re-
publican leaders who have offered advice
to the Governor have suggested that it be
put off until fall. The official information
OF the vacancy has not yet reached the
Governors office and he cannot well act
until it does. Up to date there are ten
Democratic candidates for this nomination
with more TO hear from. These are: Elk
Senator Marion Griffiths. of Vevay; John
OVermyer, of North Vernon; John Me
Gregor and T.. G.. NiSlaus. of Madison
w. III. Bracken, of Lawrenceburg; Rod
man l.. Davis, of Ohio county; Nicholas
Cornett of Versailles; w. H. 1verroad and
Judge Hord, of Columbus, and the famous
Allen Clark, of Greensburg, king of all
the push"
The Republican nomination is quite like
~ to go to Marcus r. Sulzer of Madison
who was defeated by Holman last fall. AS
Marion G.. Griffths seems to be the strong
est among the Democratic candidates. it is
not unlikely that he and Sulzer, who are
brothers-in-law, will be the opposing can
didates IN the campaign.
Mr. Linck is very hopeful of Republican
success in the district. The Democratic
margin" said he lis only about 500 and
out. They cannot hope TO obtain any pat
ronage or to change the heavy majority in
Congress by electing a man, while all those
who were disappointed are likely to feel
their party is elected this time il will
mean his certain nomination next year and
possibly a long Lease on the office, thus
shutting them all out. On the other hand
very little of the Republican patronage has
yet been distributed and our people will all
be anxious TO elect Republican"
