W. A. Campbell, editor of the Lima
Republican Gazette has been appoint
ed postmaster at Lima. Mr.. Camp
bell went from our city in 1877 and
and established a Republican week
ly paper in Lima. The Democratic
majority in Allen county was any
where from 1900 to 24OO, the Republi-
can vote very light, and no Repub-
ncan organization TO speak of. BY
persistent hammering, and the intelli-
gent showing of his paper, the party
has gained ground there steadily,
nd has cut the Democratic majority
to a very uncertain quantity, the Re.
publicans having now County Treas
urer, County Clerk. and County Com
missioner in the Court House. Hi:
paper has grown from a small weekly
to one of the most successful dailiei
in the northwest. and Mr.. Campbell
has earned the recognition giver

.LYNCHING AT
SPRINGFIELD
Followed By InCendiariSm
The City Still In Charge Of Troops
But Everything Quiet.

The mob at Springfield, not salts
fee with the hanging of Dixon, and
shooting him full of holes, burned
out FIVE saloons and bawdy houses,
occupied by the worst element OF the
colored people Tuesday night.
The buildings were on what is call
ed the levee, close along side the Big
Four tracks and a square east of the
depot.
Troops from Dayton, Urbana, Ken
ton, Xenia, Piqua, and Miamisburg,
arrived too late to save the build
ings, although they probably saved
some joints occupied by colored peo-
pie, west of the depot.
The action of the authorities seem
to have been as prompt and decisive
as the Russians at Port Arthur.
They stin hold the city, what is left
of it.
The Governor is very much in
censed, and the Prosecutor and the
Judge have called a special grand
jury. A dispatch says:

at once to investigate these out

his friends tried to persuade him tC

takes the riot as personal blow to

The police were evidently in SYM
pathy with the mob, and were about
as effective as a white rabbit in q
dog fight.
The Governor, Judge, Mayor
Sheriff, and all the city, county
and State officials are very indignant
over the disregard for the laws
shown by the the mob, and very prop

some of their own actions, and sc,

GRAND CIRCUIT RACES.

John TayIor's Victory Over pr.
 Strong the Sensational Feature.
 COLUMBUS, O., Sept 22.-John Tay- lor's victory over the noted Dr. Strong was the sensational feature of the third days grand circuit racing. Tick cts on the defeated horse sold at $100 to $40 for the entire field. It took five heats to decide the race, and each of the two horses raced like a team for the entire mile
 With the exception of the fourth heat, in which John Taylor broke ten lengths away from the wire, each heat was decided by a neck or even less.
 The time made in the race was slow, for heavy wind blew straight down the back stretch. On account of these conditions Major Delmar's trial against the Cresceus record of 2:0214 was post poned.
 Brownie Wilton won the 2:19 trot, which was carried over from Tuesday, and Morning Star had the 2:19 pacing stake at his mercy. He was a to 1 choice.
 At least four horses-Monnut, Ash Rose, Bud Posey and Bell Mc-were played heavily to win the 2:10 pace. Bell Nc showed that she outclassed the field by winning the first heat handily in 2:06A. The other heats were easy for her.

Neil was accompanied by his father The pugilist is going abroad to meet Jem Bowker, the English scrapper. at the National Sporting club on October 10. They are to meet for twenty rounds at 116 pounds for the bantam title of the world. A number of NeiPs friends were at the pier to bid him goodbye. T expect to whip Bowker without much trouble,' said Neil. If do I will go at once after a mill with Ben Jordan. twill fight him at 124 pounds or at any weight he sees it. He has got to bet some thing on the side, however, and it must not be less than $2,O00. fIowill not have more than a little over two weeks to train for Bowker, but have no fear of not being in trim. I am in good condition now and intend to uo some work on the way over."

RED GROSS IN NAVY
A NEED WHICH MODERN WAR; FARE AT SEA HAS CREATED.
Care for the Wounded Inadequate Red Cross Hospital Ships
 Should Follow the Big Sea Fighters.

Are the chances of the wounded at sea to-day much better than they were a hundred years ago? In some respects 1t may be doubted: for whilst surgical skill has increased greatly, so has the destructive power of the guns; and mod srn mines and torpedoes introduce a new element of utter annihilation in the space of minute or so that belongs en- tirely to 1ronclad warfare, and has no counterpart in the old battles, save in the rare instances when battleship blew up, like l. Orient at the Nile. Taken altogether, a mans chances are smaller than they were in the more leisurely bat ties of long ago. And in spite of the hor- rible roughness of surgery in those days, the wounded had one advantage over their modern comrades in suffering. Surgeons then were blunderers com- pared with those of to-day, and the mer- cy of an anaesthetic was unknown-it IS not wise to follow the via do1orosa to those old coclpits too closely-but at least they could collect and dress their wounded in comparative security. The construction of a modern battleship all ters all this, for with it's numberless compartments, divisions, and water tight doors Gall of which would be c.<sed in action), it would be almost impossi~ ble to remove the wounded from the place where they received their hurts to place of safety where they could be at tended to.
 But now the destroyer, the torpedo boat, and, under certain conditions, the submarine, has brought new element of terror into naval war. A certain school of young officers in the new navy pin their whole faith to these weapons, and are ready to prove their faith with daring, contemptuous facing of dark dangers, that is almost inconceivable to the average shore-going mind. And 1t Is a fact that a battleship may be anni- Inflated, swept literally off the face of the seas, in less time than it took to back

FIGHTS IN ! ST LOUIS
Jack O'Brien's Protege Won Frankie Neil Leaves For England to Fight BOwker.

St Louis, Sept 22.-Because he fought under an assumed name, J. Bolinger of this city was declared in eligible at the opening boxing bouts given by the Amateur Athletic associ- ation yesterday, and this, too, after he had given his opponent, Carroll Bur ton, the worst of it in three-round battle. Bolinger was entered under the name of Young Peter Sturhold."
 Four bouts at 135 pounds were scheduled as the opening events; six ounce gloves were used, and the matches went for three rounds each.
 In the first bout H. J. Stanger of Newark. N. J.. defeated Kenneth Jew cit of Boston in the second round. Stanger had all the best of it, and the referee stopped the contest.
 Russell Van Horne of St Louis had little difficulty in landing whenever he wished on Arthur Seward of Spring field, Mo, and was decla1%i a winner in the second round.
 The third bout, between Young Pe- ter Sturhold" (Bolinger) and Carroll Burton, both of St Louis, was one of the prettiest of exhibitions. The men were evenly matched, though at the end of three rounds 'sSturhold'' had a shade the best of it. 1t was not until the fight was finished that "Sturhold" was discovered to be an assumed name.
 Jack Egan of Philadelphia, a protege of Jack O1Brfen, won the last bout after three fast rounds against Joseph Lydon of St Louis. The two men fought like professionals. Lydon was knocked through the ropes and both showed the effects of hard fighting. Egan was the cleverer, and there was more tseam behind his blows, though the St Louis man put up a game fight.

LHAsA.

The Holy City itself has been often described, and even now English art ists are drawing imaginary pictures of it for illustrated papers, deterred by no such small thing as lack of sketch to work upon. The well known young Asiatic traveller, Percival Lan- don, putting together the several ac- counts that have reached the outside world, describes it as a comparatively small town, of about 10000 inhabi- tants, sheltered from the indictment winds of central Asia by a huge ring of mountains which have to be climbed before it can be sighted from any side. P Tn the center of this valley, which may be four miles across, lies the city, a pretty collection of gardens and low ochre-roofed houses, with water flow ing openly through the streets. But the eye of the traveller would surely leap quickly over the mean houses en- circ1ing 1t to the great rock which rises abruptly from among themS For there before him would lie at last the shrine which has been the object of so many ambitions. 1t is a saddle-baclS formation, sheer on three sides, and steep on the fourth, four or five hun dred feet in length and covered from end to end with the sacred buildings of this holy of holies. From either side, a well-paved roadway zigzags up from the city, and, on the left there is f1at-terraced and guarded space, reserved for religious ceremonies. All the masonry on either side is white. Only in the middle, like n great sad dle of crimson on saddle-cloth of white, rises the dull-red palace of the grand lama. Tier after tier of win dws. red or white, reach almost from the ground to the roof. Beneath the palace, just where the northern zig gag sweeps up from the plain of the city. stands the famous Pillar of Ilhasa. This is the objective point of all Buddhist pilgrims of the north. In fact. it is to them what the black stone in the wall at Mecca is for the Mo hammedans, the goal and shrine of all that their religion means to millions of the deyout.

sCRU BTEAM'S WORK.

Columbia's scrub team gave the varsity football men a scare yesterday afternoon in the scrimmage practice on South field Coach Morley gave the ball to the second seleven in the center of the field, and ordered them to do their best against the big fellows. The scrubs carried the ball right down the gridiron, grinding through the varsity line for two or three yards on every try. At the twenty yard line Lindau took the ball and cleared Buell's end for fifteen yards, and only Posts tackling saved the touchdown. On the one yard line the varsity held and stopped the line plunges of Martin and Williams. The scrimmage work ended here, the usual jog around the field completing the days work.
