CAMPAIGN OF 1900
Will Be Opened In Ohio by the
Republicans This Week.

Cincinnati, May 29-The Republican
state convention at Columbus this week
promises to be an extraordinary politi-
cal event, not because of the fractional
fight alone, but also because of it's eff
feet on the presidential election next
year in the presidents state.
1t has been ten years since the Repub-
licans in Ohio lost a state ticket. AS
most of the state officers, including
governor, are elected for two years and
accorded second term, there is a new
deal once in four years. This is the
year for a new deal from governor
down to the minor state officials. And
1T happens that the full new state
tickets are nominated the year preced-
ing presidential campaigns. AS the new
state administration will have all the
machinery in its control next year,
when delegates to the national Repub-
Hcan convention are selected, the presi-
dent, Senator Hanna and others are
considered interested parties in the
present contest at the state capital.
Members of congress are Also inter
ested, as the legislature that is elected
with a full state ticket next November
VIII have the apporuonment of the state
under the census of 1900 into districts
for congressional purposes well as
for legislative and other purposes.
AS all the counties have Endorsed the
national administration and all the can
didates for governor and other offices
claim to be strongly in favor of the re-
nomination of President Mckinley,
there is no doubt whatever about the
convention adopting strong resolution
for the denomination of President Nc
Kinley, but the character of the Ohio
delegation that will be sent to the ma
tional convention for him next year
may depend to some extent on the
makeup of the state ticket and the new
state central committee, as the Kurtz-
Observation-Disclosures element wants to
secure control now with a view of pre-
venting Senator Hanna from being one
of the Ohio delegates at large next
year.
In addition to the advantages to be
secured now for the presidential year,
there is an unusual number of candi-
dates for the state offices and for the
power that goes with them and with
the new legislature. The two leading
candidates for governor are Judge
George K. Nash and Harry NJ. Dough-
erty, both friends of President McKin-
ley and the former of Senator Hanna
also. The third in the race is Lieuten-
ant Governor Asa w. Jones. Among
the other gubernatorial candidates are
Albert Douglass of Chillicothe, Frank
A. Durham of GAINESVILLE, L. w. Hull of
Sandusky, w. P. Orr of Piqua, NJ. L.
Smyser of Wooster and other local IA
VOriteS.

FAVORS NIGHTCAPS.
Eminently Unfair, Says the Kentucky
Governor, to Deny the Right to
Imbibe After Certain Hour.

Frankfort. KY, May 29.-The minis
fers of Chattanooga are after Governor
Bradley, of Kentucky, because they
claim he aided in violation of the law
by failing to protest against the prac-
tice of taking ''nightcaps" at the Noun
tain City club, where he and his staff
were recently entertained. The COVER
NOR says he took no nightcap himself
on that occasion, but frankly admits
that he stood by and saw another and
1ucl<ier fellow slide one down He wrote
the following dispatch to the New York
World and signed it:
To the Editor of the World.
While l am not a drinking man, I am
of the opinion that it would be emil
nently unfair to refuse to all but min
listers in Chattanooga the right to i'm
bfbe after a certain hour. A prominent
official and certain leading business
men in the place invited the governor
and his staff on the night in question
to witness a parade and attend a mask
ed ball, and a few were invited to the
club house afterward. The invitations
were accepted, not one of US knowing
that any law was being violated, or for
a moment suppOsing that leading citi-
zens would invite a violation of the
law. While at the club house only two
persons entered; one, with an oath,
called for a cognac, the other, a mild
hammered man, took a whisky straight
much to the disgust of our party, all of
whom had contented themselves with
a plain lemonade. We did not know at
that time that either of these gentle
men was minister.

FLINT DEFENDED TRUST.
Boston Bankers Proved a Very Sym
pathetic Audience.

Boston, May 29.-Charles R. Flint of
rubber trust fame was banqueted at
the Union club Saturday night and
took the opportunity to offer a de tense
of trust principles. His audience was
an exceedingly sympathetic one, for it
was composed almost exclusively of
Boston bankers.
The host of the occasion was William
M. Wood. He invited the best known
financiers in town to meet Mr.. Flint
whom he invited to make an address
on ''industrials." AS there are few men
with more experience in engin eering
combinations of capital to monopolize
industries, Mr. Flint's speech was lis
tened to with deep attention by his
company.
Mr.. Flint said the organization of
large industrial corporations was the
most prominent financial feature of the
present business activity, and that the
trusts were great things for the coun-
try at large and especially for the poor
man.
After saying that a big business
boom is coming, Mr.. Flint declared that
corporations were an advantage in case
of strikes by employees. for lat such
times unaffected factories can do the
work for the idle factories" He closed
by declaring that trusts are inevitable
and a necessity

MANIA FOR FLOWERS.
Story From Wichita of How a Man
Spent Fortune For Bouquets

Wichita, May 29.-"You can say
I am insane. If this be insanity. let
me have more of it. If insanity brings
such joy as 1 have had within the last
few months since the change came over
me; if it wipes out the gloom and mel
ancholy of my former self and makes
me love people and beautiful flowers;
if it makes the songs of the birds seem
sweeter to my ears, where before all
songs were discords, then 1 say, let me
be crazy as long as I live
These were the words of Tom Mar
tin to the jury in the district court, who
adjudged him insane. Martin was in
sane over flowers. He loved pansies
and roses, and he has spent small for
tune within the last week on chrysan-
themums. On any other subject Mar
tin was an excellent talker. He was
quite wealthy until a few weeks ago
when a mania seized him. Martin
bought 500 worth of pansies and strew-
ed them along the street. He paid So
for bouquets.
Once he bought $50 worth of violets
and made himself a wreath and wore
it instead of a hat. He would rise
before daylight, hasten to the florists
and get large bunch of roses for the
breakfast table.
Sunday night he took a basketful of
flowers to church and gave them away.
Monday he bought bouquet with his
last quarter, and took it to church
social, where it was ratified off for s.,
Martin bidding it in. He had no money
to pay for it, and was then arrested on
the charge of being insane.

Miss Lenore Doster Topeka Artist of Unusual Ability

Topeka is happy in the possession of a
young woman artist of quite marked abil-
ity; She is Miss Lenore Doster. daughter
of Chief Justice DoSter.
Miss Doster is a typical Kansas girl;
she considers Topeka her home, although
she has lived here but a short time.
Miss Doster showed signs of talent
when she was but three or four years
old: she was encouraged and given in
struction as soon she was old enough,
and the success she has achieved is due
to years of hard work She spent two
years in New York at the Students Art
league, studying under Kenyon Cox and
Carol Beckwith.
At one time Miss Doster thought she
would give up art and go on the stage,
as she had an inclination in that direc-
ton. Another two years was spent in
New York with that end in view. but she
became Disguised with stage life before
entering upon the active duties of an ac-
tress- She has done some literary work
at different times. such art criticisms
and few short stories.

/, tanooga, Miss Doster exhibited seven pic
lures. four of which drew first prize. The
water color picture of a girl playing
violin, which has been in Kansas avenue
window for several days, drew the first
prize for figure painting: IT is study of
Miss Doster's sister. Miss Doster consid-
ers water colors her best effort in regard
to cOloring.
Miss Doster thinks that American art is
rapidly outgrowing that of Europe, and
that it is such a different plane that
it is not necessary to study European art
in order to be a successful artist. There
is a clean individuality in American art
lacking in that of Europe.
Miss Doster left Saturday for Chatta-
nooga- where she will join a party of
men and women who will make a tramp
through the mountains to sketch. They
expect to be gone about three weeks
stopping. at crackers cabins nights,
and at the end of their journey they will
camp for a while in picturesque old mill
which has been deserted for some years
The entire trip will be taken on foot.

WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT
Governor Riddle Voices the Sentiment
of Kansas.

The following is from the Minneapolis
Messenger:
1.-THE war department has decided that
the Twentieth Kansas is to be mustered
out at San Francisco. The people OF
Kansas do not concur in this decision
and every effort will be made to have
the regiment mustered out in Kansas.
The proper place would be Topeka,
where thew were mustered in and in
common with the majority of the peo-
ple of the state we hope that the de-
partment will revoke its decision IN TINS
matter. The people are anxious 10 meet
the regiment as an organization. Ihey
are proud of their record and want a
chance to tell them so. Let the brave
bows march as a regiment of veteran
soldiers up Kansas avenue, whose pave
ments but a short year ago echoed with
their steps as they marched as undr1Il-
ed raw recruits to the cars that We're
to take them to the coast They nave
won their spurs by as daring deeds or
heroism as ever gilded the pages of his
tory Let the people of their state
have chance to see the twentieth
Kansas. Secretary Ayers plea for mus,
tering out the regiment in San Fran
cisco is that they will have more money
by being mustered out there, because
thew will receive travel pay from that
point to their homes. If that IS true
Ivhv not muster them out in Manila and
let the boys have the maximum ana
take their choice of locations. However,
the soldiers themselves should nave
something to say in the matter: II
thew would prefer to be mustered out
in California well and good, but we do
not believe that for the small amount
of extra pay they would receive they
would prefer to be mustered out in San
Francisco Once scattered at San Fran
cisco the boys will never be brought to-
gether again. What every person in
Kansas wants is that the Twentieth
Kansas be brought home as regiment
and as a regiment receive the honors
that the people of Kansas are waiting
to shower upon it's soldiers. kansas
will never be satisfied that the Twen-
tieth Kansas should be mustered out
anvwhere else than in Kansas"

HAVANA POSTOFFICE.
Man Who Ests .blished First American
Mail D elivery System.


E c. Hathaway. who as establishing
the rural free delivery system out
through Tecumseh and Monmouth
townships is the man who established
the first American postOftice IN ma
vana after the close of the war, ana
he succeeded in doing 1t without regular
authority from the government anu
while the Spanish were still in posses
Mr. Hathaway went to Cuba as the
correspondent for the Chicago RECORD
AS soon as Santiago had fallen ana nos
tilitieS had ended, he went at once ~
Havana and opened an office for his
paper in the most central part OF the
city.
The office soon became a sort of in
formation bureau for all Americans
landing at Havana, and was made head
quarters for those who were IN the city
Riots were of daily occurrence ana
everything was in state of chaos. At
that time the Americans were haVInS
great trouble in getting any mail Inc
clerks in the postol5ice had not received
any pay for ten months from the pain
ish government and if any letters snow
ed up from America that appeared TO
have any money in them, the clerks mn
mediately appropriated the letters and
their contents. The majority OF the
mail intended for Americans was LETT IN
the office without attention.
Some of the Americans suggested to
Hathaway that he get all the Ameri-
can mail from the postoftice and LOOK
after its distribution He consented 10
do but the spanish postmaster &c
fused to let him have any of 1t with
out an order from each lndlVlduaI
American. Mr. Hathaway Immediately
opened a register in his office at the
top of which was the necessary order,
and notices were posted all over the CITY
instructing Americans to register at the
Record office if they wished their mail
delivered there
As soon as there were fifty or sixty
names in the register Mr.. Hathaway re-
turned to the postoffice and again de-
manded the mail. The clerk in charge
said it would take him three or four
days to sort it out, but Hathaway said
he would sort it himself, and as the
clerk was not averse to avoiding all the
work necessary he consented.
Mr.. Hathaway went through the
great accumulation of mail and took
every letter that was intended for an
American whether he had an order for
it or not. Some of them had been in
the office for months and were> very
valuable TO their owners Hathaway
established a. regular pOStofflce in his
office and after that had no trouble in
securing the American mail This was
two months before the Spanish evacua-
ton of Havana

in sending mail out of Havana

that it did not have to go through the
hands of the Spanish authorities at all.
This completed the establishment of
complete American poStOffice, so far as
the handling of mail was concerned, and
the arrangement was kept up until af-
ter evacuation of Havana by the Span
ish and the establishment of office
in regular manner by the United States
postOffice department.
1t was on account of the skill shown
by Mr.. Hathaway in organizing his
Havana postoffice that he was placed
in charge of the establishment of the
rural free delivery system in the west.
