FEVER PATIENTS IMPROVE
The Misses Clendenin Still In Igno-
rance of Their Fathers Death.

New York. July 13.-Friends of the
Misses Clendenin will come east in a
few days to meet them upon their re-
lease from SWinburne Island, where
they have been since the arrival of the
United States transport Mcclellan. Miss
Helen Clendenin, who had yellow fever,
is now out of danger and DR.. DOty said
today that she would probably be able
to leave for her home in Galesburg, Ill,
next Monday. Throughout her illness
she has been deVOtedly ministered to
by her sister, Miss Elizabeth Clendenin,
who accompanied her on the McClel-
Ian.
The young women are the daughters
of DR.. Clendenin, an army surgeon, who
died at his post Of duty at Santiago on
July 4. Neither of them has yet been
informed of their fathers death. So
careful has DR.. Doty been to keep all
knowledge of their fathers illness from
them that he has not permitted any
body to speak of their parent to them.
The young women have not been per-
mitted to see the newspapers. It is pro-
bable that to the friends of the young
women who are coming here from the
west will be delegated the unpleasant
duty Of telling them the sad news They
are buoyed up by the hope that before
many days they may hear of the father
who sent them north in order that
they might escape the yellow scourge
which eventually took away his life.
The pathetic story of the young wo-
men has deeply affected all connected

the time comes for the Misses CIendenin
to go home, they will be taken to one

officers boat, the Governor Flower.
Much interest is felt in the case of
Oscar F. Lackey, the young Balti-
morean upon whom was tried the San
arelH yellow fever serum. He is now
apparently on the road to recovery.
Unless something entirely Unforeseen
arises he will be discharged in a week
or ten days. His respiration is good,
his digestion is improving and today he
caused his physicians some surprise by
asking for food. His appetite has been
very delicate and nourishment has been
given to him in liquid form. His prin-
cipaI diet has been peptonized milk, fed
to him in teaspoonful doses. He will
have a more substantial diet before

AN EMPORIA ARTIST.
Miss Madge overstreet Achieves Fame
In New York City.
(F'rom the Emporia Gazette.)

Miss Madge OVerstreet, who IS spending
the summer with her parents west Of
town, is a young woman of whom En-
pOrfa may feel justly proud She receiy-
ed her education at the normal and col
lege, after which she commenced her ca
reer as an artist by taking instruction of
H. Siddons Mowbray in New York city
For the past five years she has had a
studio in New York, and has risen to
well merited prominence in that place
She does pOrtraiture, tapestry and in
ing most of her attention One of her por-
traits which has attracted much notice
was painted for the general assembly Of
the Presbyterian church. It is a Efe-siZe
picture of Alexander Henderson and is
considered by New York critics a most
creditable production.
Miss Overtstreet brought with her from
New York copies of several paintings now
in the Metropolitan Art gallery. One
ing, is The Game of Cards" by Roybet.
1t is a beautiful piece, showing Spanish
musketeers seated = a table engaged in
a game of cards. The Somber background
of the room they are in, and their own
swarthy cOuntenanceS, are relieved by the
artistic bTilliancy of their costumes. An
other picture is a we'll executed copy of
a landscape with cattle by Rosa BOnheur.
The original of this is owned by Miss
Helen Gould, who has loaned 1t to the
Metropolitan gallery. Several sketches,
done from nature, are bits of Colorado
scenery They are souvenirs OF a summer
vacation in Estes park and vicinity. Miss
Overstreet is devoting most Of her time
to interior decoration. This, she says,
there is a growing demand for, and many
artists are turning their attention to it.

FOR MUNICIPAL REFORM.
Ohio Proposes to Keep Names of Po-
litical Parties Of the Ballot.

Cincinnati, July 13.-As a step toward
purifying municipal politics it is pro-
posed that the names of all political
parties shall be kept from the ballot in
city elections in Ohio and that all nomi-
nations shall be by petition. To SIM
plify elections as much as possible it
is proposed that there shall be but
eight elective offices in Ohio cities. These
will consist of a mayor and a council of
seven Three Of the latter will be elect
ed at large and four from districts. The
mayor will have the appointing power
in the case of the heads of all executive
departments under this proposed new
code, and the council will have charge
of the levying of taxes and the apprO-
priating of money. It's members will be
under bond. AS a safeguard it is pro-
posed that all franchises must be rati-
fed by a popular vote.
This is in substance the report the
codifying commission of the bar aSsOci-
alton will present to the state meeting
of the association at Put-in-Bay.
The recommendations are toe work of
Judges Kibler and Pugh, who were the

pared a draft of the bill which will be

pose an amendment to the criminal code
