Ohio Cup Festival
This weekend, the Ohio Village Muffins and the Lady Diamonds
will host The Ohio Cup, the premier annual baseball festival. The
Ohio Cup features 30 teams from around Ohio and the Midwest
including Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, New
York and Pennsylvania. The two-day event features exciting games
with each team playing 3 games per day in a timed event on 4
different fields, including the Ohio Village field.
The Ohio Cup is the largest gathering of small-town baseball
teams in the country and they come together for one reason: to
celebrate America’s pastime the way it was meant to be played.
Festivities will start at 6 PM on Friday and continue Saturday and
Sunday until a champion is declared.

Populists,
Progressive
Democrats, and
Progressive
Republicans Join
Forces Their Plan to Make
America Better
In an effort to cope with the
ever- changing world created by
industrialization reformers have
called for liberal means to achieve
conservative goals. These
reformers want the idealized
America of the past that was
characterized by democracy and
equal opportunity for all. In
general they would like a better
life for all. How is that to be
achieved? Society has changed
since the Civil War and the
government needs to adapt to a
new role. It should take the lead in
curbing corporate privilege and
limiting the power of the few. In
other words, create a level playing
field. The way to do that is by
putting the government back in the
hands of the people. More
democracy can be the cure for
many of the country’s ills. The
Australian (secret) ballot is one
way to accomplish this. Since
Massachusetts first used a secret
ballot in 1888 it has spread to
several other states with much
success. Now it is time for the
entire nation to embrace this idea.

Pan American
Exposition Coming
The Pan American Exposition is
being organized by the Pan-American
Exposition Company, which was
formed in 1897. Cayuga Island was
initially chosen as the place to hold
the Exposition because of the island's
proximity to Niagara Falls, which is a
huge tourist attraction. When
the Spanish–American War broke out
in 1898, plans were put on hold. After
the war, there was a heated
competition between Buffalo
and Niagara Falls over the location.
Buffalo won for two main reasons.
First, Buffalo has a much larger
population—with roughly 350,000
people, it is the eighth-largest city in
the United States. Second, Buffalo
has better railroad connections—the
city is within a day's journey by rail
for over 40 million people. In July
1898, Congress pledged $500,000 for
the Exposition to be held at Buffalo.
The "Pan American" theme will be
carried throughout the event with the
slogan "commercial well-being and
good understanding among the
American Republics." The advent of
the alternating current power
transmission system in the US will
allow designers to light the
Exposition in Buffalo using power
generated 25 miles away at Niagara
Falls. The 1901 Exposition is
expected to rival, if not surpass the
1893 World's Columbian
Exposition held in Chicago to
celebrate the 400th anniversary
of Christopher Columbus's arrival in
the New World in 1492.

this summer. Corn looking to be
splendid.
Marietta-- At half past six, Mr.
Josiah West while driving his horse
home from water, had the
misfortune to break his ankle. Just
as the horse was returning to stable
it slipped and fell, catching Mr.
West underneath. His left ankle
was badly broken.

All oil lamps in the town have
been done away with and the
streets are now lit by electric
lights.
Poet Edwin Markham on Tour Edwin Markham's most famous
poem, "The Man with the Hoe,"
which accents laborers' hardships,
was first presented at a public
poetry reading early this year. His
main inspiration was a French
painting of the same name (in
French, L'homme à la houe)
by Jean-François Millet.
Markham's poem was published,
and it became quite popular very
soon. In New York, he has given
many lectures to labor groups.
These have happened as often as
his poetry readings. Now he is
traveling across the country
sharing his poetry as well as his
ideas on the labor issues facing the
nation. It is anticipated that his
tour will include Columbus.

Allow people to vote their
conscience free from the watchful
eye and pressure of a boss or
union leader. Through a direct
primary the voters, rather than the
bosses, would nominate each
party’s candidates for office in the
general election. Through the use
of referendums and initiative
petitions the voters could directly
propose or reject new laws. With the
use of recall elections the people
would have the power to remove
corrupt politicians. An amendment to
the constitution could also allow the
people to directly elect their US
senators and take their selection out
of the hands of the rich and
influential. Another amendment could
greatly expand the participation in the
electoral process by allowing women
to vote. Reformers from both parties
are joining together to try and forge a
better America by pushing for many
of these changes as we move into the
20th century.

Fantasies
of Flight
For many centuries, humans
have tried to fly just like the birds
and have studied the flight of
birds. Wings made of feathers or
light weight wood have been
attached to arms to test their
ability to fly. The results were
often disastrous as the muscles of
the human arms are not like a
birds and cannot move with the
strength of a bird. In the past few
years several pioneers have come
as close as man ever has to this
dream. German engineer, Otto
Lilienthal, studied aerodynamics
and worked to design a glider that
would fly. Otto Lilienthal was the
first person to design a glider that
could fly a person and was able to
fly long distances. Otto Lilienthal
was fascinated by the idea of
flight. Based on his studies of
birds and how they fly, he wrote a
book on aerodynamics that was
published in 1889. After more
than 2500 flights, Otto Lilienthal
was killed when he lost control
because of a sudden strong wind
and crashed into the ground.
Samuel Langley is a physicist and
astronomer who realized that
power was needed to help man fly.
Langley conducted experiments
using whirling arms and steam
motors. He built a model of a
plane, which he called an
aerodrome, that included a steam-
powered engine. In 1891, his
model flew for 3/4s of a mile
before running out of fuel.
Samuel Langley received a
$50,000 grant to build a full sized
aerodrome. It was too heavy to fly
and it crashed. He was very
disappointed and he gave up trying
to fly. Octave Chanute is a
successful engineer who has
undertaken the invention of
airplanes as a hobby, after being
inspired by Otto Lilienthal.
Chanute has designed several
aircraft, the Herring - Chanute
biplane has been his most
successful design. Octave
Chanute published "Progress in
Flying Machines" in 1894. It
gathered and analyzed all the
technical knowledge that he could
find about aviation
accomplishments. It included all
of the world's aviation pioneers.
Now it is reported that two
brothers in Dayton, Ohio are
building upon the knowledge
accumulated by these early
pioneers to attempt their own
quest for manned flight. Orville
and Wilbur Wright, operating out
of their bicycle shop, have been
doing their own experiments with
different glider designs. They feel
that they have made sufficient
enough progress that they are
planning to go to Kitty Hawk,
North Carolina in the next year or
two to experiment with full-scale
gliders. This location was chosen
because of the constant winds that
blow off the ocean there. This
wind will be necessary in order to
lift the large glider into the air.
This will be very dangerous work.
Is this silliness worth the risk as
man attempts to achieve his dream
of flying like a bird. As some
have said, “If man were meant to
fly then the good Lord would have
given him wings.”

“Imperialism”
By Vincent Howard
Lo, ye are weak and ignorant,
While we are strong and great;
And so, in Christian Charity,
We’ve come to rule your State.
We’ve come to criticize ye, and
We’ve come to teach ye pray.
Bow down, bow down, ye savages,
Or else we need must slay.
