COUNCILMET To OosmADE!} AWI) eexeitsis :-~ - The 'writer being thoroughly acquainted with come of the historical facto in connection, with the “Kansas War” , wishes to refresh the memory of any who may be confused as to the part that Greene County took through some of her gallant sqns* The war over tho introduction of slavery into the territory of Kansas was one of the events m tho history of .this country that onlisted the sympathy and drew to tho scene of action more loyalty and intolleofc in. shorter time than any other occurrence at any per­ iod since the Iieyolutlon, It aroused the loyalty of every liberty loving youing man North of. Mason’s and Dixon’s line. Although H ub happened in 1838 it really was the beginning of the war of rebellion And was the school ot observation to the young men who rallied to tho support of John Brown in his Struggle against American slavery. Such a galaxy of able young men was never before assembled in the support of any man in the history of time, Bueh as Abraham Lincoln, Stanton, Seward, Denver of Xenia, and Dr. Leo McCIung, also from Xenia, Greene County and many others from all over the North. It is said that fully two-thirds of Lincoln’s cabinet he first met in Kansas ah the time of that mo­ mentous struggle for freedom in the then, territory of Kansas. It was then when there were no motives to deceive, the young ex­ pressing their views on the all absorbing question, of the slave traffic. In Xenia there was a noted hotel known as the Merrick House, now the Grand Hotel, a veritable abolition resort whose .propriotor was the late General Merrick, father of Charles B. Mer­ rick, who still resides in Xenia and who relates a very interesting story of the late General Denver, father of Hon. Matthew B. Den­ ver,' . - “The war in Kansas and the ability of Johu Brown to resist the invaders were the general topiis before all the bright lights in Xenia and that community, and the hotel was the 'main poinb where the abolitionist gathered to discuss the John Brown affair. “On a certain night during that time many Interested peoplo were gathered at a. meeting that lasted far after midnight and In­ terest grew intense. General Denver, who had been a captain in the Mexican War and a practicing lawyer in Xenia, was billed for a speech. In his address he ardently insisted that it was the duty ot all loyal citizens to support John Brown and that it reflected no credit on the able young man ivlio would stand back and see that grand old hero defeated and the principles ot freedom, so loudly professed, trampled under the feet of the defiant slaveholders. • General Denver asserted that If John Brown had his men organ­ ized hs could drive the slaveholders from Kansas soil, and he said thkt if there web a man in that audience who would go with hirn, he would start for Kansas the next morning. At that, up arose Lee McCIung, afterwards Dr. McCIung, of Xenia, saying, “I will go with you.” Bound after round of applause and cheers wont up from the crowd for Denver and McCIung. The next morning bright; and early, the two young heroes, were mounted upon their steeds, like Scottish chiefs, ready for the start. The earth fairly trembled with the cheers of, “God Bless You” and “God Speed, You,” uttered by hundreds of friends. Hundreds of women had gathered also and with waving handker­ chiefs sent the young men on their long journey. At a village in Illinois, where they had put up for tho night, they discovered a small brass cannon, and b e l i e v i n g that it would be of much help to them in the war, proceeded to negotiate with the villagers for the cannon. They then procured sorting the mules away'they sped across the. country to the scene of the war in Kansas. Upon their arrival they found hundreds of Northern youths of equal grit. To all, their arrival with the cannon was a surprise and more so when it was learned that the man Denver had been a captain In the Mexican War. A drill master was badly needed and the company immediate­ ly placed the Captain in charge of the organization, winch he en­ tered ihto with alacrity. Tho small army was drilled and in about, ton days attacked tho enemy with the cannon playing a conspicu­ ous part under the direction of a son of John Brown’s, who later fell ot Harper’s Ferry, ‘The fire from the cannon was too much for the enemy and they took flight like Indians. In about two weeks the invaders re­ ceived re-inforcementa and made an attack on. Brown and his • forces but by this time Denver had his men in flue condition.for a fight and the slaveholders were signally defeated and their leaders captured. The notorious Clay Allen was captured with others and the war so far as Kansas was concerned at that time was end­ ed, ' • < . 1 Dr. McCIung returned to Xenia. Captain Douvor, being of a genial and pleasant disposition, soon made friends-and decided to locate farther west. Locating in Colorado bo-laid out the city of Denver, which today bears his name, and afterwards became gov­ ernor of that state. From there he located In California aud in time became a senator from that state. Abraham Lincoln, knowing Denver personally, from their ac­ quaintance in Kansas, and appreciating his great worth as a mili­ tary man, sent him, without hlB solicitation, a commission as brig­ adier general in the Union Army in tho late Civil War. He was in tho battle of Ft. Donaldson, Pittsburg Landing and Vicksburg at its surrender on the Fourth of July, 1003. *During th* lime that General Denver had charge of the dig­ ging of a canal from the Mississippi river across a swamp to ena­ ble our army to obtain provisions, he contracted rheumatism and was released from duty for a time. During tho time, Dr. McCIung had boon serving in the Union Army, as a regimental surgeon. Both Denver and McCIung had been Presbyterians and were noblo young men to send out on tho country’s call.' The loyal, people of Groone county should raise a monument to tho memory of each of these courageous men, who represented the county so grandly at a tune when tho souls of the patriotic men of tho North were bo severely tried.

NATURE'S BEAUTIFUL PLACES. Lida D. Archer. ;open and makes a glad rush for lib-1 | erty raising a glad little song of j praise to God for its freedom. ■ j 'Statoly trees grow in tho canon1 making shelter from sun and rain l for which we wore thankful for the sun sent his rays down with a strength that made the shade wel­ come and soon the clouds which ob­ scured the brightness ot the sun at times began to open up and let their contents descend to this mundane sphere which brought into requisi­ tion umbrellas and over-shoes and altbo We lined up against the chit's under a big tree, wo only had par­ tial protection and some ot us after the shower was over “Looked like the rose just washed In a shower” But the sun shining out again soon made all serene and following tho stream to the beautiful valley we crossed it, accomplished the feat of climbing a wire fence, arid found our way to the little canon on the old homestead of the Jackson’s where we drank deep draughts of the cold water which came from its prison beneath the solid rpek into light, beauty aud gladness. What a beautiful littlo place it is 1 The clear, cold water coming' down from the fannabovo in a damty.cas-' cade breaking into numerous little pearly streams as it falls giving life, beauty and coloring to the. delicate feathery tern’ fronds growinginsuch abundance, and over these and falling from the tops o f t h e cliffs briars and v i h e s o f a darkor shade of green hanging in festoons, thru which the time­ worn rocks of grey and delicate hanging bells of wild columbine' peep at one as if to say—“Please ad­ mire us, too!” Underneath are nooks where tho feathered songsters can hide, build their nests and be cared for byHim who cares for even the sparrows. • • An old tree which lias fallen across the canon only acids to the beauty of the acoue. We filled our baskets with the dainty ferns and started for home well repaid for our shower bath and ltmg walk.

Not alono on Massies Cr*ek but some ot Its tributaries have picturesque littlo places which make an artist or poet very enthu­ siastic. One day last BpringMrs. H., Borne of tbe little girls and tile writer, started out equipped with baskets, over shoes and umbrellas for an afternoon’s outing and to gather ferns to decorate the church.. Wo traveled merrily along until Wo readied the rivulet which runs thru tho Archer place, then crossing into the field we followed the stream un­ til we came to ono of those difficult problems, an old stake and rldoretl fence. But wo all managed to sur­ mount the difficulty and landed safely on tho other side in a beauti­ ful grove oi timber Where Wo came to one of those deliciously cool, restful little canons where the wri­ ter had gone many times - before to rest and feast tho eyes on the beau­ ties of nature. Exclamations of pleasure came from all, who had notoeen the little canon (placed there by the “Master Artist” ) with its narrow gorge walled in on dither oido by rocks, which have the ap­ pearance of having passed thru fire at soino ihuo and hardened an they cooled or been washed by the cease­ less motion of some great body of water until they wore worn full of holes. At tho foot of th poo cliffs the little stream dances along and the music of Its laughter lo soothing to tho ear and nerves, Just where the cliffs widen into a canon we found the doep hole whore they say there is no bottom and a delightful little water-fall tries to mutate tho great- ot ones by spreading out an much ns it can limn plunging into the pool below with all tho noise it can make, Thero it rushes around as If it did not know what to do until fi­ nally it finds the door into the canon Oh I Throbbing toothache is needless suffering.

MOONEY, REPUBLICAN CANDIDATEFORSECRETARYOF STATE, SAYS: | The Republican party never came more nearly fulfilling th e tru e function of. a political party In a republic. I am not one of those who think that, we have achieved such a state of political, economic and social perfection th a t we can afford to stand pat. The most conscious advance In party government in recen t years is the extent and character of'our self-confessed responsibility. To conserve vested rights and. destroy vested wrong is a pro­ cess of real statesmanship. / ^ Last w inter we enacted tho Lahgdon ta x commission bill, re­ garded by many as ultra-progressive. This bill is Republican frt Its conception, its promotion’ and its enactment. It was discussed by leading Republicans for several years, earnestly recommended by the tax commission appointed by Governor-Harris In 1906 and In­ troduced into the general assembly by one of its most able Repub­ lican members. IT WAS PASSED BY REPUBLICAN VOTES AN& DOES NOT BEAR THE GOVERNOR’S SIGNATURE. / We also took the first progressive step in many years with; the employers’ liability: act. i v There was never a falser statem ent se t down In a Democratic party platform than that the governor was handicapped In the ta s k Of purifying and Improving the public service b y .th e opposition r;X of a hostile ■ legislature, Y 1 Palace Restaurant ' - II W..-IL.1 - H- r 1 - " - ' .
