presented was strongly reminiscent Of
the tumult that ragged IN the Coliseum
at Chicago when Bryan finished the
effort preceding his nomination. Men
and women rose 10 their feet and

Country Road.

During these hot summer days is
when the traveller on dusty, treeIess
highway signs for "some boundiess
eontiguity of shade" or at least for
good roads bordered by trees whose
sheltering bonghs would offer some pro-
lection against the rays of the celestial
scorcher. the sun.
Trees add more than beauty to q
country highway. although that feat
ure alone should be sufficient incen-
tive to insure their presence. But they
nre comforting, as we'll, and their shade
helps to retsin a degree of moisture that
retar1s the making of dust.
The usual highway should be made
beautiful and comfortable as well.
Every negligent highway commissioner
should be COMPELLED to ride wheel
along a sun-blistered road, or, better
yet, be harnessed to a load, as is the
poor, dumb horse. This would bring
him to a realization OF the fact that a
little shade along the road Is good and
gracious thing

Lally, a Cleveland (O.) contractor,

He first struck the roof of a veranda,

on the 1agstone sidewalk, Is feet be-
low the veranda roof. Lally regained
consciousness at the hotel and COM
planned of his injuries. An examine
ton at the hospital diclosed that
his condition is critical. His right leg
was broken at the ankle, but the ex-
tent of the internal injuries were not
fully determined at the first examina-
ton. LaIly arrived at the Boyer at
ten o'clock Tuesday evening. and at
tracted much attention and comment
by reason of his nervousness and
mentally-excited condition. He did
not retire to his room until one o'clock
in the morning, and even then did not
rest. Lally is about twenty-five years
old, well dressed and plentifully sup
piled with money. He informed Hotel
Clerk McCauley that he was to take

other industries. All the failures were
for large amounts. Mr.. Gunckel was
Methodist and gave $4,000 to
the new church hers. When ugly
rumors were ahoat concerning
some of the failures he withdrew
from the church and died without the
fold. He was indicted for embeZzle-
meut two years ago, but the case was
taken from the jury by Judge Ciffen,
and the prisoner discharged. The
new grand jury indicted him for lar
ceny and embezzlement, but the case
was never called. His residence was
the finest in the city. A widow and
two children survive him. He spent
most of his fortune fighting the indict-

itself an eloquent tribute to the i'm

And such a crowd as it was. Men and
women poured into the vast audi

After awhile the ingress became more

movement inflow of human beings.
At : o'clock the doors were thrown
open, and, despite the efforts OF the
police to restrain them, the crowds on
every side made desperate rushes for
the entrances. A wild scene Of tur-

Men, women and policemen were jun
