Army generals to make a combination
tour of the west in opposition to Mr..
BRYAN was consummated at republican
headquarters Saturday. Gen. Russell
A. Alger and Gen. Daniel Sickles held
a conference with Mr.. Hanna and it
was decided that the best way to sat
isfy the demands which have been
pouring into the speakers bureau for
G. A. r. leaders to address the soldiers
and others was to arranges for tour

special train. Gen. A!ger placed his
car at the disposal OF the party OF

Sickles; Gen. Franz Sigel, OF New York,
Mckinley democrat; Gen. Thomas j..
Stewart, Of Pennsylvania; Gen. Null

Beautiful old LenoX was never il such

the streets are waking to their LIE with

tarers wants it nearer. In their car
riages they can cover the distance quick

Many of the cottagers use the new and
fine station at Stockbridge. They drive
to the shops in Pittsfeld or send to New
York Thus the place retains its rural
charm in spite of what is the most e%-
traordinary collection of country houses
in America. The cottages at Newport
have rather the suburban character, but
here each princelY dwelling is inclosed
by its own broad acres 800 OF them,
500 or 1,0OO-with barns and grazing
cattle.
Lcnox is one OF the few places in the
world where 500 acres of land three

more than 500 times as much as one acre

1t is the very beginning of the LenoX

1890 feet above the sea and there is
chill in the air. As if by magic the ap-
pearance of the women has changed
and to the futtering ilrery of the silly
season succeed good stout and even FUR

and capes every hour. The English and
unloyely box driving coat, with its enor-
NOUS care sleeves, still distigures the
fairest forms and finds excuse for its
ugliness in it's smartness. 1t is marked
by heavy seams well away from the

New bicycle coats have made their ap-
pearance which are very simple yet
neat, with their wide collars and quite
full skirts falling over the hips. They
are meant to button up snugly in chill
weather and have natty look.
A noticeable feature of many OF the
fall wraps is their use of white straps

heard Saturday night off Cape Finis-

u quantity of wreckage floating off the
cape, some Of which had the name of
Fusiana painted on it. 1t is believed
that two vessels were in collision, that
an explosion followed and that both

she came in with Mr.. St John and took
q seat near the platform. "She's all
rightw shouted one enthusiast, at which
the people laughed and cheered again.
Presently lusty shout near the main
entrance, which was taken up and rolled
TO the far ends of the big hall, announced
the arrival of the hero of the hour.
After Mr.. Bryan had worked to the
front of the platform and smiled and
bowed to the audience, which cheered him
for fully a minute, Mr.. Jones, chairman
of the national committee, introduced
Elliott Danforth of New York as chair
man of the meeting. Mr.. Danforth mere
ly welcomed the strangers who were
within the gates of New York, and pre-
sented Gov. Stone of Missouri, the chair
man of the notification committee. He
spoke for twenty-five minutes and at the
conclusion turned and placed in Mr.. Bry-
ans hands a big roll of parchment. on
which had been engrossed the official
notification of the Chicago nomination.
Mr.. Bryan bowed and smiled, while the
audience rose to its feet and cheered. The
band played, and an enthusiast excitedly
waved an American flag over Mr.. Bry-
ans head

waved his hand deprecatingly, but the

Crowds at the Stations Along the
Route to See the Ncbraskan.
w. j. Bryan, the Democratic presiden-
tial candidate, was the recipient of many
demonstrations while en- route from his
home In Lincoln, Neb., to New York city
to receive the official notification Of his
nomination, The trip was inaugurated
under favorable conditions. 1t was day
OF torrid temperature, but long before
the time for the departure Of the Bryan
party the Rock Island depot platform 10
Lincoln was crowded, and when the car
riage containing Mr., and Mrs. Bryan
drove up round of cheers went up from
over 1000 throats, From that time on
until the train pulled out people jostled
each other as they pressed around their
fellow citizen and grasped his hand and
wished him God speed. As the train drew
away from the station thousand flutter-
ing handkerchiefs waved parting adieu.
On the second day of the trip the party
left Des Moines at $50 a. m. Colfax was
reached few minutes before 8 o'clock
and nearly 1000 people were wedged
into the narrow space berween the tracks.
Many Of them were miners with their
lamps in caps. At Newton at S:15 there
were 200 to 1000 enthusiasts on the
platform. They were so bent on cheer
ing that it was with difficulty that Gen.
Weaver succeeded in finally restoring or
der while Mr.. Bryan made brief speech
At Iowa City ten minutes stop was
made and 900 people voiced their enthu-
siasm through the medium of a brass
band. The crowd ut Davenport followed
to the hotel and stood in the parching sun
until Mr.. Bryan had finished his dinner,
when he addressed them from the hotel
porch.
When Chicago was reached at 7:20
o'clock Saturday night, there were nearly
10000 people massed about the Rock
Island station, anxious to catch glimpse
of the presidential candidate. Almost
1000 Of these were members of the va.
rious silver organizations which went to
make up the procession that escorted Mr..
Bryan to his hotel. The streets were
filed with people anxious to see the nomi-
nee FOR President. Mr. Bryan bowed to
the right and left continuously all the
way to the hotel. When the Clifton
House finally was reached Mr.. Bryan
went Immediately to the balcony, where
the formal exercises were held. William
]. Strong, the Republican chairman OF
the reception committee, delivered the ad-
dress Of welcome, and Bryan spoke to as
many people as could crowd in front OF
the hotel balcony. The party left Chicago
Sunday night, continuing the trip east.

WEATHER CROP CONDITIONS.
Weekly Report of the Agricultural
Department for Different States.

Department for Different States.
The reports as to the condition of the
crops throughout the country and the
general effect of the weather on the
growth cultivation and harvest of same
made by the directors of the several cli-
mate and crop sections show that intense
heat and lack of rain, conditions which
characterized the preceding week In the
Southern States, have continued and have
affected the principal crops in that section
very unfavorably. While the week has
been excessively warm throughout most
of the country cast of the Rocky Noun
tains, the injurious effects of the heat
upon crops has been largely confined to
the Southern States. and cotton Is the
crop which has suffered to the greatest
extent. The cotton crop has deteriorated
generally throughout the cotton belt. The
intense heat and lack of moisture has
caused premature opening of bols and
shedding, and in Arkansas on uplands,
the plant is dying. Central and northern
Texas and Oklahoma hot winds have
seriously injured cotton and under the
most favorable future conditions the crop
in Texas will be below the average. The
general condition Of the crop is much in
advance OF the ScuSOU. NOrtn CurOllnd
reports that the first bale has been mar
keted in that State. earlier than ever
known. Late corn has been injured to
some extent by hot winds in portions Of
Kansas and southwest Nebraska, and the
crop is suffering from drought In the
southern portion of Missouri and Illi-
nois. Generally throughout the Southern
States corn has not made good progress
during the week, but in tlle great corn
States of the central valleys and north
west the crop Is maturing rapidly under
most favorable conditions, and much of
the early planted corn as far north rs
Iowa will be made by September /, much
earlier than usual. The general condition
of tobacco is promising although ripening
too rapidly in portions of Tennessee and
Kentucky. The crop Is much in advance
of the season and cutting is now in pro-
gress in Ohio, Pennsylvania and New
England. Considerable plowing for fall
seeding has been done, but the extremely
warm weather of the past week has in
terrupted the work. Light frosts occur
red in eastern Idaho on the morning of the
fifth, causing little or no damage.

Democratic Candidates Accept.
William Jennings Bryan formally ac-
cepted the Democratic presidential nom
ination at Madison Square Garden, in
New York, Wednesday night Mr.. Bry-
ans run across country had played havoc
with his voice. He had gone to bed the
night previous with a well-developed at
tuck of laryngitis and had been con-
fined to his room under the doctors care
all of Wednesday. 1t was at first feared
that he would not be able to speak at
all. Mr.. Bryan, for the most part, made
no effort to deal in oratory, but confined
himself to the reading of n carefully pre-
pared address, from whose text he did
not vary, as from his manuscript he only
now and then lifted his eyes.
1t was n scene TO inspire an orator.
Madison Square Garden is beautiful
auditorium with its shallow galleries, its
great tiers of boxes at the rounded ends
of the hall, its low roof studded with
electric lights. Eighteen thousand peo-
rle had assembled in the big place at 8
o'clock. Every one of the $500 seats was
occupied, and 10000 persons stood in the
open spaces ut the ends of the hall.
These people had assembled with huge
stock of good nature and perhaps one in
five Of them came with genuine enthusi-
asm in his heart. All were there to greet
enc upon whom the mantle of fame had
dramatically fallen.
The big hall filled early, not without
much confusion at the entrances. When
the crowd saw "Silver Dick" Bland it set
up shout, which was as nothing to the

The baking to which this continent has
been subjected is almost unprecedented
In the weather history of America. Every
summer there are peKiods OF six or seven
days in which the temperature remains
abnormally high over small areas. But
rarely If ever has the whole country
borne continuous heat for so long time.
st. Paul and Jacksonville, Fla, Ell Paso
and Abilene, Pueblo and Green Bay suf-
fered about equally, and the hot wave
rolled mercilessly from the Rocky Noun
tains to the Atlantic ocean.
The cumulative effects of the excessive
temperature on the public health are
marked In the returns Of sunstrokes turn
ed In by the police and the observations
of general mortality made by the health
department of large cities. Although the
temperature in Chicago Tuesday a week
ago was "a, the number of prostrations
was small; 1t grew on Wednesday with
the mercury at 90; it was still larger on
Thursday when n maximum temperature
of only IS was recorded. Thence il
mounted steadily to the extraordinary
and appalling record for Sunday and
Monday.
