The season Of the year has about mr.
rived when Rocky Ford begins to recive
the most compliments. No other town
in tho state has such wealth OF shade
trees and when they arc in full leaf tho
town is fairly hid beneath a beautiful
cloud Of green. This condition will pre-
vail next week and for tho entiro summer
our visitors will express their unbound
cd delight in the enjoyment Of such love-
ly shaded avenues. Another gratifying
fnct in this connection is that Rocky
Ford is not content with past achiev.
ments in this line, but each year adds to
tho large number OF shade trees.

INDIANAPol Got 7.-The reception accorded William !. Bryan on his arrival in Indianapolis was nearly as great as any he has received during his entiro trip. He made speeches here, and at each meeting he addressed immense audiences, one of which was nearly as largo as that address cd by him on Boston Common, the largest of tho campaign. The Bryan party was received with great enthusiasm from many thousands gathered about the sta. tiun upon It's arrival hero He was taken immediately to the Grand hotel and the parade from the depot to the hotel, was a continuous ovation to the candidate. The Cleveland club, in Prince Abort coats Silver club and the Gray club acted as os- corts, and the parade passed through streets lined with people, tho principal thoroughfares being so crowded that the sidewalks were roped of in order to keep the crowds from pressing upon the car riagcs. Mir. Bryan addressed the largest crowd at tho statehouse. Evcry inch of available standing and climbing room was taken. The park in front of the state house was packed with humanity, the streets on either side were crowded, and people were gathered in the windows of the buildings across the street In order to see tho canuldRte even u they could not hear him Probably less than one. e.fourth of the audience heard his speech, but those who were able to get within tho sound of his voice were enthusiastic to great de- gree. It would be an impossibility to cs- timato the crowd, SO great it was He made half hour speech. After the nomi. nee had concluded his remarks at the statehouse he was taken to Tomlinson ball, where ho spoke to as many people ns could be packed into and in front of the balcony where he stood. This meeting was also enthusiastic. and often during his speech he was stopped by the demon. strations of approval Later he spoke to three moro audiences, one to the Commcr- cial Travellers association in the Grand hotel one from a platform outside the courthouse and one In Tomlinson hall The speech inside tho haIl was Co the Ia. boring men of Indianapolis, and his TO- marks were applnudcd to the echo.

COMING OF MARTINELlI.
Arrival of the Successor to Cardinal Satol

Arrival of the Successor to Cardinal Satol-
 If as Apostolic Delegate
 NEW YORK, Oct 3.-Mgr. Sebastiano Martinelli, apostolic delegate to the Ro- man Catholic church in the United States, the successor of Cardinal Satolli, has ar rived in this country, coming by the Gu nard line steamer Campania. He was met at quarantine by Mgr. Sbaretti and Dr. Rocker of the papal legation at Washing ton and conveyed to the house of Arch bishop Corrigan in this city and after brief sojourn left for Washington and as soon as practicable will report to Cardinal Satolli, whom he succeeds as the pope's representative in this country.
 Cardinal Martinelli, 1t Is said, has higher powers than those delegated to Cardinal Satolli, as the new arrival Is empowered by the pope to establish full ecclesiastical court for all cases relating 10 the church in America
 There will be no appeal from the de- cisions of this court, as Archbishop Marti- nelli has a letter from the pope which gives him full power on this side of the Atlantic, and this finds favor with the American Catholic clergy, for cases which were formerly referred to the onSreaA- tion of the propaganda at Rome will now be heard by judges who understand the conditions existing here and will there fore be able to make allowances for them in rendering decisions
