Bry-an-se,vaII Men to Turn out Next
Tuesday Night.
The coming rally Of the Bryan-Sewall
Club, next Tuesday night. promises TO
be a success, II good speaking will make
it so. Gov. Atkinson viii be present,
and 50. in all probability. will Senator
Bacon, and, perhaps. Hon. Dupont Query
Chairman Clay Of the state committee
will hardly be able TO be present. In a
letter received from him yesterday by
Mr.. A. n. Manucy. president Of the club,
he stated that he had been suffering Sc
verely with a carbuncle for several days
and would hardly be able 10 visit Savan-
nah next week, az he had intended doing.
In a letter TO Mr.. A. A. Lawrence, mem
Der of the state executive committee, re-
ceived by him yesterday, Mr.. Clay adds
a postscript, stating that Gov. Atkinson
had agreed to come to Savannah Tues
day and deliver an address.
The rally will take place in Odd Fell
lows hall An effort was made to secure
the theater, but II was found that repairs
had been begun there in preparation for
the fall business season, which would
make il inconvenient TO use the theater
Tuesday night. The Odd Fellows hall
is the next largest hail in the city, and is
wen suited for such purposes.
Every effort will be made to make the
rally a success. There will be no local
speakers but Hon. F. G.. duBignOn Will
preside and will introduce the speakers
Gov. Atkinson has never delivered a pub
lie address in Savannah, and this fact
alone will be sufficient TO attract many
TO hear him.

Tho people Of Rock Island have

popular opinion has passed upon the
case of the teachers W. Superiu-

ci.ion has been reached through the
anwavering. answering justice Of
the ballot box, and the teachers have
been upheld. They have been sus-
tanned. not in an act Of insu bordina-
tion. but IS per cent Of the people
Who employ them have given
sanction to their appeal from q

tanned that in the government of the
schools, tyrannical methods, ex-
htbition Of conceit and insulting
conduct should prevail. The ont.

Of the highest and best int rests OF

been identified for years with their
progress and advancement. The de.
feat Of the Unions pet proposition to
amend the school law is an indics-

intelligence astonished the thousands
who saw them in New York, Boston

elephants in any circus in this coun-
Try can compare with them. They
absolutely stand on their heads. Mr..

equal of the great Hagenbeck. and
elephants do tricks requiring almost
human intelligence.

Norman C. Woodin and Edwin

former on First avenue in conse-
9uence of an attempt to ride from
Peoria awheel and consume the half
ripe fruit of wayside apple trees yes
terday. The boys left Peoria ut 4
o'clock in the morning and made
good progress until Galesburg was
reached, when they tarried awhile to
rest up. They resumed their Jour-
ney and got along nicely until they
spied an apple orchard. It was too
tempting to pass. So they dis
mounted and proceeded to devour
the green product of the trees.
After satiafying their appetites the
journey was once more resumed.
but when within about s miles of
Milan Mr.. Woodin felt that he would
have to give up in favor of the
apples. He became ill and was
taken to farm house by his com.
panion. who was not feeling at his
best, either. The farmer hitched up
q team and took Mr.. Woodin to
Milan, whence he was taken home
in . buggy. By the time Rock ISL

sick; and now both are in bed, but
