VETERANS OF WAR ' HIGHLY PLEASED The Gallant Few Best Appreciated the Lincoln Celebration Last Night.

DAYS OF STRIFE RECALLED

MINIATURE CAMP OF SOLDIERS ON THE BIG COLISEUM STAGE : MADE THEM SIT FORWARD IN THEIR 8EATS.

In all the vast crowd at the Coliseum last evening, there were a few rapidly declining men who could better appreciate what was being said and done than the ' thousands that outnumbered them by their presence. - These men were the veterans of the civil war. It

was they who answered the call of

Abraham Lincoln for volunteers to

preserve the union. It was they who left their plows in the furrows, their goods on the counters, their books in the offices or the family fireside to

go forth and give up the best years of

their lives that this nation should not perish, but have everlasting life. Brought Back Other Days. When the great flags forming the curtain across the front of the plat

form were drawn back and the miniatures camp was displayed, these old soldiers, who knew well just what actual camp life of the soldier means, slipped forward to the edge of their chairs. They could appreciate better than any others just what was the significance. The imitation-camp fire that appeared burning merrily in the middle of the platform and the members ofthe Apollo club, as they lounged about in uniform made a realistic picture. When the words "We are Tenting Tonight on the Old Camp Ground" and the remaining stanzas of the old song were heard there were those in the veterans' section, who bowed their heads in mute testimony of their feelings. Veterans Highly Pleased. There were Spanish war veterans present, also, and these could not but remember the days when they enjoy camp life. The former soldiers of two wars were highly pleased by the ceremonies. There were no more flattering comments bestowed upon the event than those which were passed by the men who know best what the strife of war times means.

All INDEPENDENT IS PROBABILITY

Free Lance Cadidate May the Field Against Zimmerman, Gossip Says. V DOC HAS MUCH STRENGTH

STREET CORNER POLITICIANS ARE OF THE OPINION THAT HE HAS GOOD LOOK IN FOR THE NOMINATION.

And now the story is being circulated that in the event Dr. W. W. Zimmerman, republican candidate for mayor, is nominated, there will be placed an independent candidate in the field at the election in November. Anything to defeat .Zimmerman and prevent the democratic party from gaining control again seems to be the slogan. Gossip of the Streets. It is being forecasted by the street corner politicians and the cigar store philosophers that Zimmerman will be nominated for mayor at the coming

contest this spring, as It appears certain there will be a number of candidates in the field. It is claimed that no prospective candidate yet in the field can equal Zimmerman's strength. Would Split the Vote. Henry Deuker and Dr. T. Henry Davis, it is claimed will so split the vote that Zimmerman's nomination is as good as assured. There is an effort being made by some of the liberals who do not like Zimmerman, but who will support him unless another liberal candidate enters the field, to secure some prominent and generally popular man to enter the race. It is claimed that only In this event can Zimmerman be defeated for the nomination. Have Two Purposes. That Zimmerman will have a hard fight at the election, should he be nominated, is also forecasted. The republicans do not want another democratic administration. The sentiment is strong that Zimmerman is undesirable and for this reason an independent candidate may be put in the field to accomplish two purposes, one to defeat Zimmerman and the other to defeat the democrats.

NEW STAMPS WERE

SOLD VERY FAST

Disposed of 9,500 Lincoln

Stamps Yesterday.

The sale of the special Lincoln 2

cent stamp which opened yesterday morning at the postofflce proved very

popular and 9,000 were sold. The remaining 500 will be sold as the public demands them. Considering the fact

that only 250 stamps could be pur

chased by one person or firm, it shows

the demand was very great.

Ruskin en Art Critics.

A. Stodart Walker tells of Rnskln throwing a large quarto at his head because he had dared to question the artistic excellence in the matter of pro portion of Michelangelo's "Moses" in Rome. After the-throwing; was over he asked, "How often have yon seen It?" "On, half a dozen times," Stodart Walker answered with confidence on his side as to the result of such a reminder. "Good heavens!" Rnskln cried. "No man should dare to give an opinion on any work of art unless he has seen it every day for six months," add-

in; after a pause, "and even then he

should hold his tongue if he has used his eyes as yon seem to have need

them." Chambers' JournaL

Gorgeous Were the Decorations p ' - Coliseum Presented an Appearance That Has Never Befsn Been Equaled in This Cay Camp Scene Artistic.

Never before were decorations more

in keeping with any event held

in this city than were those at the

Coliseum for the exercises of last eve

ning. Nothing but words of approval were heard from the great crowd. The

local decorating committee appointed

by the Young Men's Business club

was assisted by representatives from a Cincinnati firm of decorators. The combined efforts of the decorators exceeded the expectations of all but the most hopeful. Fred Lemon was chairman of the committee on decorations.

Hundred of Flags. Hundreds of American flags ' were

used and the bare barn like places

about the structures were obscured by

the folds of the red. white and bine.

Large Japanese lanterns were worked in to good effect. Many of the electric lights were encased and the subdued glow was far better than the brilliant glare. About the base of the galleries were stretched yards an yards of bunting, interspersed with flags and pictures of , Lincoln - everywhere. - The crowd was given no chance to forget that the event was in honor of this beloved president. The speaker's platform was concealed by two immense

flags that were made use of as cur

tain, which were withdrawn when the exercises began.

Scene Was Artistic. The camp scene presented was one

of the most artistic in its conception that has been produced locally except in connection with, dramatic performances. In -the middle of the platform was an ofBcers tent. About the large tent were grouped "pup" tents. Fine trees were used la the bsrir ground sad

a piece of' canvas depicting woods scene was used to good . advantage. An odd , Imitation of . an old commissary wagon stood at one side. A camp fire was imitated by electrlc-dfgkts fa red globes, a pile of logs and an eleetrie fan with strips of paper attached. When the fan was started the whole appeared as a merrily m"t fire, the papers representing the fllckertns of the flames. . -
