Portsmouth Sanitarium – Hope for Alcoholic and other Victims Portsmouth is to have a sanitarium, or institute where victims of the liquor habit can be cured by the chloride of gold process. A meeting was held at the Second street reading rooms Tuesday evening to that end, and an organization was effected and officers elected, as follows: President, Captain E.B. Moore; medical director, Dr. J.P. Bing; secretary and treasurer, J.E. Hadley. The rooms in the Huston stone front building on Second street, lately occupied by Squire Row for a magistrate’s office, have been secured for headquarters and sanitary purposes. They will be put in proper condition for which they are devoted, and the management will be ready to receive patients next week. Application for treatment may be made to Dr. J.P. Bing or to J.E. Hadley. We understand that not only alcoholism, but all kindred diseases, or those whereby a perversion of the nervous system is the main feature, will be treated. Of course this includes victims of the opium, tobacco and cigarette habits, modern science looking upon all such abnormal conditions as disease.

The Ladies – Some of Them Will Run for Office on the Prohibition Ticket Those Who Make Their Marks Under the White Rose Meet in Convention Last Evening, and Nominate Full City and Ward Tickets – J.B. Carter for Mayor, Heads the List. – The members of the the Prohibition party in this city, some sixteen or eighteen strong, met in Gibson’s hall last evening and with great deliberation placed in nomination full city and ward tickets. The gentleman present were evidently very much in earnest and sincere in their convictions of the righteousness of their cause. Although the ladies have the right of suffrage this spring and are counted as among the most ardent temperance advocates, none of them were present last night at the convention.
Portsmouth Daily Times 12 March 1895 Pg 4
Mr. J.E. Hadley was elected chairman and Charles Warner secretary. Right in the beginning J.B. Carter precipitated a discussion by offering a motion to begin nominations with ward tickets first and city tickets last. L.A.F. Summers (Lewis Augustus Francis Summers) objected to the resolution and in stating his objections remarked incidentally that Portsmouth’s tax rate, $3.08, was higher than that of any other city in the state and that the people could not look to either of the two parties who had created the evil for relief. The people must band together to resist the encroachments on their property and their liberty. The Prohibitionists should nominate men who stand squarely and firmly on these questions. Mr. Carter’s motion was defeated.
In response to a question as to whether or not it was proper to nominate ladies for office. Chairman Hadley said it was, and that it was his desire to nominate a lady in each ward, as they were among the greatest workers in the cause of temperance. He was proud of the fact that his was the only party that recognized the value of woman.
J.B. Carter was then nominated for mayor. In accepting Mr. Carter modestly remarked that he thought he would make a pretty good mayor, and recalled the good old days when he was a leading light in the councils of the Greenback Labor party.
T.F. Lloyd was nominated for the marshal and John Byron for street commissioner, receiving 8 votes to Fred Norris’ 7.
No nomination was made for city solicitor, the party not numbering any of that persuasion among its members.
Dr. J.F. Davis was nominated for water works trustee, and Ezra Jeffords for cemetery trustee.
The following ward tickets were then places in nomination, there being some little squabbling among the gentleman to keep their names off the ticket:
First Ward -Council, James George. No candidates for board of education or assessor. Second Ward -Council, Henry Prescott; board of education, Mrs. J.E. Hadley; assessor, Captain Sam G. Moore. Third Ward -Council, Dr. Van Tyne; board of education, Mrs. Van Tyne; assessor, Isaiah Willet. Fourth Ward -Council, W.W. Gates; board of education, Professor Moothart; assessor, J.C.B. Oskins. Fifth Ward -Council, W.H. Norris; assessor, Morris Bidwell. No nominations for board of education. Sixth Ward -Council, Charles Warner; board of education, Mrs. Asa Hull; assessor, L.A.F. Summers. Seventh Ward -Council, W.C. Edwards; board of education, Mrs. G.W. Rhodes; assessor, Robert Basham.
A number of members of the Populist party were present and were called on for remarks. Robert Dodgedeclined, but a gentleman named Kidd, who seemed to be the spokesman for the crowd, accepted the invitation and spent some fifteen or twenty minutes trying to convince the Prohibitionists of the error of their ways. Mr. Kidd is a rattling good speaker, although he had the same old arguments, if arguments they be, which are the stock-in-trade of every Populist speaker who goes tramping up and down the country. He believed both old parties were in league with the money power; that there was an understanding between them, etc. He denounces the recent bond sale to the Rothschilds as a disgrace, and the election of Elkins, of West Virginia, and Thurston, of Nebraska, to the senate as still more of a disgrace. He believed in government ownership of railroads and telegraphs, etc., etc. The convention then adjourned.
The Second ward will be represented during the next two years in the school board by a woman. A leading Republican offered to bet $10 that Draper would be defeated by Mrs. Hadley.

Portsmouth Daily Times 8 July 1895 Pg 1
The sixty-fifth annual meeting of the Scioto County Bible society, a branch of the American Bible Society, was held a Bigelow M.E. church last evening. A number of the churches omitted their regular evening service and the congregations participated in this service. The church was well filled. The object of the society, the distribution of the bible, either by sale or gift is one that enlists the sympathy and co-operation of every Christian and the work has been prosecuted with notable success in this county for 65 years. The society originally proposed to place the bible in every home, but the aim now is to place a copy in the hands of every man, woman and child who can read. They sell at the actual cost and where persons are unable to pay they give it to them.
Rev. Arthur Edward Johnson, president of the society, presided last evening. Rev. J.F. Steele read the scripture lesson and Rev. D.S. Tappan led in prayer. After some special music, the annual report of the treasurer and depositary were received. The treasurer reported receipts of $54.42 from the depositary, $9 from the Sixth Street M.E. church, $13.25 from the Second Presbyterian church, and $38.31 a balance from last year. During the year $113.08 has been paid to the American Bible Society.
The depositary reported on hand June 30, 1894 books to the value of $332.60, received since $124.75, total $457.36. Sold during the year $123.77 given away $10.65, on hands $310.49.
The annual address was delivered by Rev. S. Gobiet who took the following text: 119th Psalms, 105th verse. “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.” He gave a very excellent and interesting talk on the Bible.
After the address the nominating committee consisting og J.E. Hadley, W.B. Anderson and J.A. Maxwell, reported the following officers who were elected: President, Rev. D.S. Tappan; vice presidents, the ministers of the city; secretary, J.R. Wood, treasurer, W.C. Silox; executive committee, E.J. Kirby, J.M. Graham.
This morning the annual business meeting of the society was held at the Y.M.C.A. rooms. The principle business was receiving the reports of the several committees. E.H. Lowman was reelected depositary for the coming year.
