KlLBOURAE ANNOUNCED
As a Candidate for the Democratic Nomi.
nation for Governor.
Special to the Leader.

Special TO the Leader.
Columbus, O., March 2S.-Colonel
James Kilbourne's candidacy for the
Democratic nomination for governor
was formally announced at the meeting
of the Kilbourne club last night by C.
S. Magruder, who presided over the
meeting. 1t was done in these words
81 am authorized to announce the for
NAL candidacy of Colonel James Kill
bourne for governor" The announce
ment was received with great cheers,
eX-Congressman Lentz and Candidate
Hinkle joining in the demonstration.
Colonel Kilbourne, it appears, chose
this opportunity of having his candi-
dacy announced, so that he would Sc
cure some sort of public declaration
from Lentz of his uspport, and it did
not fail of its purpose. When Lentz
arose to speak later, he pledged Colonel
Kilbourne his support and said that he
would do all he could to bring about
his nomination. Candidate Hinkle did
the same thing.
There are hundreds of Democrats in
Columbus who are not inclined to ac-
cept these professions of friendship as
being all wool and full yard wide,
particularly those who recall Lentz' s
treachery to Colonel Kilbourne at the
GAINESVILLE convention, when John R.
Mclean was nominated for governor
over Colonel Kilbourne. They fear that
Lentz will yield to pressure" at the
last minute, and announce himself a
candidate in opposition to Kilbourne,
particularly if Hinkle should be elect
ed mayor, which would place Lentz in
absolute control of the city.

ARR0R DAY
Proclamation Has Been Issued by Goyerno
Nash.

Special to the Leader.
Columbus, o.. March 2S.-Governor
Nash has issued the following procla-
nation:
The governor of Ohio has been auth
orized and directed by law to issue a
proclamation, setting apart a day in
April of each year for the planting Of
forest trees.
Therefore, |, George K. Nash, COVER
nor of Ohio, do hereby nominate Fri
day, the 26th day of April, A. D., 1901
as Arbor Day, and | do hereby recon-
mend, that this day be observed in this
manner by the people. If this work is
thoroughly done. the woodland in Ohio
will be increased, the beauty of the
State made greater and more comfort
and pleasure afforded to her inhabi-
tants. The observance of this custom
has done much good in the past and
should be enlarged in the future. To
this end, it is suggested that those hav-
ing charge of the beautiful parks of the
State, and that the teachers and pupils
of our schools, colleges and other edu-
cational institutions, in addition to
what may be done by the people in gem
eral, should devote the day to the use
full and pleasant work of planting trees
in the grounds occupied by them.
| also suggest that this occasion be
taken to impress upon the minds of
the youth of the State the Importance
of preserving and increasing our song
and forest birds. They are very useful
in destroying harmful insects, and add
greatly to the beauty and attractive
ness of our homes.
Cures dizzy spells, tired feeling, stom

With the Coming Of Spring.

With the coming of Spring,
The robin will sing,
And the swallow will twitter with glee
The lilac will bloom.
Shed it's fragrant perfume.
And we list to the hum of the bee.
There is life in the park
Sigt-seers and, bark,
All, what is that sound we now hear?
'Tis the Merry -Go-Round.
Come TO stay I'll be bound,
And speechless we tremble with fear
With the coming OF Spring,
The poet will sing
OF the blossoms besprinkled with dew;
He will dash off rhyme
OF the merry Springtime,
And no wonder a fellow looks blue.
With the coming of Spring,
'Tis the same old, old thing
Martha will graciously smile;
She will want a new hat.
And our purse will be flat
There are sure to be changes in styla
Now the amateur band
VIII be heard through the land.
Playing Dixie" and after the Ball, =
While the organ will grind
"oh That Girl Left Behind"
And we never can stand il at all
With the coming of Spring,
They will change everything.
House cleaning will be all the so;
Dust, White Wash and Paint
Would provoke cen a Saint.
And we sigh for the winter and snow.

CATS
As the Children Of the City Think They Are
Put Together,

The offer of the Star Clothing House
to present with dollar the child who
would submit the most humorous
sketch of a cat is bringing about pro-
life results.
Some of the sketches are very crude
and are probably meant to illustrate
the peculiar arrangement of the ami.
mails limbs while in their prehistoric
stages.
Other pictures again are. well con-
ceived and cleverly executed, exhibit
ing in their conception fund of humor
and wealth of caricature in the young
artists endowments.
Cat bootblacks, cat drummer boys,
hobo cats common mediocre cats, in
short all specimens of the feline tribe
both domestic and wild are being show
cred upon the owners of the Star.
Some of the animals look like they
had a severe attack of the cramps while
others bear rather detected and
frayed mien as though they had gone
through with an active campaign with
their natural enemies, the small boy
and his dog.
The contest viii be brought to a
close Saturday night and the judges
will then decide upon the merits of the
respective sketches.
Every child in the city is free to en-
ter his pictorial idea of the popular
household companion and will have
chance to win the large light-complex-
ioned dollar.

NEW WELL
In Texas Believed TO be Better Than the
Lucas GuSher.

Special to the Leader.
Beaumont, Tex, March 2S.-The new
oil well. near the Lucas we'll, proves to
be second great gusher. The we'll
came in quite Unexpectedly, though it
was thought the drill was near the oil
region. The well is fully equal to the
famous Lucas geyser, but did not
spout as high, because the pipe in
the well did not blow out, and the oil
had no opportunity to flow. The oil
spurted out through the three-quarters
of an inch space between the six-inch
casing and the rotary pipe fully so feet
high and many thousand barrels of oil
was spilled on the prairie before Il
valve was placed on the pipe and the
well closed. The well was got under
control by II o'clock yesterday morn
IN
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1901-03-29
GREATEST GUsHER.

The well is considered to be bette
well than the Lucas. This well is
about one-half mile northeast of the
Lucas well, and is on 10-acre tract
of land owned by e. H. Adams, and
known as the Spindle Top Heights sub
division of the John A. Veach League
The we'll is owned by the Texas West.
ern Oil Company, of Corsicana, former
ly the Southwestern Oil Company.
r. Beatty came here the day follow
ing the Lucas strike, made his lease
within "a hours, and contracted for Cnt
sinking of the well, and had the drill
on the ground Feb. 70.
TOOK THIRTY DAYS.
The we'll is 1850 feet deep, and it re-
quired about 80 working days to com
plete it. 1t is estimated at this time
that this we'll will do, at the lowest es-
innate, 10000 barrels daily. This oil
is the same quality and grade as the
Lucas oil. The greatest excitement
prevails here, and all the town turned
out to view the sight.

An unde.irnble nonrder.

Some time ago the keeper OF board
ing house retired from business after
having acquired a comfortable COM
potency in the course of about 20 years.
During that period her house became
we'll known in the city and among the
women in her own business. She new
er realized how we'll known 1t was un-
til she set out to find a place TO live in
herself.
She applied first ut the house kept by
a woman nearly as well known as her
self only to learn that there was no
room for her. 1t was not until she had
been through the same experience sew
eral times that she came to understand
that she was not wanted in the estab-
lishments of her former rivals. Her
reputation for keeping a fine house was
too much for the other women, who
did not want to submit to the scrutiny
of n former boarding house keeper who
had made Il reputation and a fortune in
the business.
She learned, after going to a hotel
where her record could not be used
against her, that she was not the only
woman who had found il difficult to
get into a boarding house after having
kept one of her own. When they are
well known. it is practically impossible
for such women 10 find quarters. for
whatever her reasons may be the land
lady does not like to shelter her kind.
