MET AT oNAwA.

Mr.. Bryan's party was met at Onawa
BY a large delegation of free %silverites
from Sioux City. This delegation acted
as a reception committee. Judge A.
Var Wagenen, Judge John P. Allison,
Robert 70. Persons, A. r. Nash and rep
resentatives of The Tribune and Jour
nal went to Onawa last evening and
remained over night, and on the morn
Ing train there arrived from Sioux City
others, as follows: F. E. Gill, Martin
Neilan, Geo. Jepson, John Hittle, A. C.
Lutze and p. O.. Purslow.
The train was an hour and fifteen
minutes late in to Onawa, and the
crowd of 1850 assembled at the depo,
to hear the candidate in a ive-minute
speech was restless. When the train
arrived a rush for Bryan's car was
made, n 1t was with difficulty the
Sioux City reception committee gained
admittance. The air was very cold. and
Bryan did not intend to make a speech.
He went to the real platform of the
car and commenced shaking hands with
those gathered around, but this would
not satisfy the ones who could not crowd
to the front. and they yelled fora speech.
Bryan consented and talked to them
for about five minutes. Every few SEN
fences of his speech was Interrupted by
~uproarious applause, and particularly
great was it when he said the balloon
dollar was all right for the fellows in the
basket, but 1t was pretty tough on the
farmers below. The train pulled out
before the speaker had concluded. and
the crowd followed 1t for 200 yards up
the track, Mr.. Bryan talking and shak-
ing hands all the while.
HIS ARRIVAL IN SIOUX CITY.
AS early as $50 o'clock people began
to assemble on the platform of the
Northwestern depot to get the first
glimpse Of the silver presidential candi-
date as he stepped from the train. The
time scheduled for his arrival was $3.50
o'clock, but the people were given a
disappointment when that time arrived.
A train did arrive. but 1t was not the
one in which the nominee had made the
trip. The crowd was then informed that
Mr.. Bryan would arrive on a second
section OF the train. which would come
in an hour later. The train which had
just arrived carried $50 people to the
Bryan demonstration from the small
towns along the Northwestern In Mo-
non and adjoining counties. Cor of
the banners which was carried in the
crowd read, "Monona county will give
1920 majority for Bryan"
While waiting for the arrival Of the
second section Of the train which would
bring Bryan to the city he crowd pa
raded the platform, making themselves
as comfortable as possible in h damp.
cold, raw atmosphere. which at times
was percolated with . drizzling rain.

1t has frequently been asserted that
the brilliant colors of many flowers
serve to attract bees and butterflies to
them. Experiments recently reported
to the Belgian Academy of Science
seem to show that the perfume rather
than the color of the flowers is the real
attraction. Bright colored blossoms
were covered with leaves and papers
pinned closely about them, yet h In
sects not only visited the hidden flow
ers, but endeayored to force their way
under the papers in order to reach the
blossoms, which they could not see.
