THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
"CYCLONE" UNIFORM DONATED TO MUSEUM
Relic Is Part of Collection of Late Clarence S. Hall
IS OF HISTORIC VALUE
"Cyclones" Were Republican Political Club of President Grant's Time
An interesting relic of old political days was recently given to the Museum, from the collection of the late Clarence S. Hall, who was prominent in joustive circles of the state for years. He was a member of that old Republican Political Club, known as "Cyoneites" and the Museum has been uniform of that organization that he wore at the various political rallies.
The Cyclones were formed during President Grant's administration and were considered the best drilled company in the state. They were given free railroad transportation over the state and at every large Republican meeting they staged drills and were in charge of the program. The fireworks, which were a large part of every political gathering, were in operation all the time of the Cyclones, and it was the only ones that were permitted to fire them off. Even now at the Fourth of July celebrations the former members of that organization are the official custodians of the fireworks.
Many men who have later reached high places in the politics of the State of Kansas have received their start in this semi-military organization, among them Winder S. Metellc, Michael T. Cucker, "Joe" Cox, "Bob" Manley and many others. The Kansas National Guard were composed almost entirely of these men who had been trained in the Cyclones.
The uniform donated to the Museum consists of a helmet, very similar to that worn by the Germans in the late war, a dark red coat with gold buttons, a white shirt and a wide white belt with blue trousers having a white stripe down either side of the leg. The club always appeared in uniform at the meetings and added brilliant color as part of an organized means of keeping order.
Mr. W. H. Martin, of the Museum says that although he is always glad to receive donations of this kind, there is really no place where they may be housed for exhibition as there is a large stock of tissue material for student use. Mr. Martin, however, has kept many relatives that have been turned in to him and now has many guns, world war reliquies, key watch wind, bead hand bags, specimen of General Jackson's handwriting with his signature, and a set of artifacts in importance that need to be placed in a suitable place for exhibition.
Picnic Goal Named For Hermit General
Cameron's Bluff has been a goal for several generations of K. U. picnickers and hikers. In fact it is one of the traditions of the University that no one should take his or her degree to complete. There are more bikes to this romantic spot.
Why is such an unpuncturesure spot a goal for plinkers? Strangely enough, no one seems to know. Aside from the fact that it is a traditional spot for plinks and excursions, no annotation is given for its popularity.
Tradition and history furnish the answer.
The plot of ground which includes Cameron's Bluff was homesteaded many years ago by a romantic charm, but it was the last general who served with the Union forces in the Civil War. Shortly after the end of the war, he came to Lawrence and filed a claim on the land that now includes Cameron's Bluff.
Tradition has it that the general was a hermit who neither had friends, nor cultivated any. He was obsessed with the practice of telling everyone he should give way before him. If the general met anyone on the road he clung stubbornly to his own path and the other person, in order to out of the road and let him go by.
Above all the general hated and despised students at the University. Legend has it that he even fired his musket at parties who trespassed on campus, but Cameroon's Bluff in the hope of getting a thrill out of the old general.
The General died and his name ceased to be a byword among the students at the University, but Cameron was a student of the traditional student picnic ground.

Kate Stephens Writes Story Of a Kansas Poet and the Editor of The World of N.Y
Rv. Kate Stephens
The ninth edition of his "Rhymes of Ironquill" Eugene Ware brought up in Topka, in 1899. He knew I delighted in his anurning concerts, his diacritic fables, his genuine poems, and that he sent me a cow straight off the press.
The book came to my hands in an editorial room of the McMillan Company. Before Mr. Ware had got ready this edition, I had suggested to the house that the Company's publication of a ninth edition would recognize innovative, original writer. The house that agreed with the promotion" in my assertion.
But here, now, was the book, ready for review and market, and the question rose in my mind, "How can I further the work?"
George Cary Egleston, editor of The World, seemed to me the man to "write up" the Kansas author, Mr. Ware and Mr. Egleston had characteristics in common. Both were strong men, gifted in expression, able in handling affairs of life, retentive of the originality of pioneering, carved out of pioneer material, a part of history he would. Mr. Egleston could understand Mr. Ware. He had written a book at my request—for a series I was editing—and I knew him well enough to ask the courtesy.
So I sent him a letter telling how London had lately discovered an American poet, "without honor in his own country" of metropolis; how Ironquill's book had been issued in a special London edition, carefully annotated that our English cousins might understand the American's jokes, (for instance, a note telling that "stock" referred to cattle, and not to the bond market); how, in short, in London his work was known and his工作 involved; just as long before London had discovered and taupe Americans had discovered.
Mr. Eggleston answered under data of 17th of January, 1899, (I quote from his letter beside me). "I should very much like to see the book of humorous poetry. I think I might at least present it with one or two captivating extracts for next Sunday." In any case I wish you would lend me some spending by your side. I will take great care of it and return it."

Some months after our letters, on a splendid spring day, as I was hastening to a lunchne engagement, I met Mr. Ware and Mr. Eggleston walking down Fifth Avenue, arm in arm, swapping stories and sounding thelms lunge over the fun of it. They both took part, in recognition of the good time they were having and of my introduction of the one man to the other.
