waiting for quiet. The people kept
erowding in at the doors and pressing to
the front. Mr.. Bryan begged those in the
aisle to go out lest panic should result
and by word and gestures implored them
for order, but he could not get it. Mem
hers of the committee, Mr.. Mott and Mr.
Sibley took turns at eXhorting the people
to keep back, but they were not needed.
One excited man in the gallery got a
hearing and cried: Go out for Heav-
ems sake. There will be panic and peo-
pie will be killed" Others in the audi
enee made similar appeals. Mr.. Bryan
declared that he would not speak under
such dangerous conditions. Mr. Sibley
announced that Mr.. Bryan would leave
the hall and talk in the open air if the
people would go out. Finally the intelli-
gence was conveyed to the people that
Mr. Bryan would talk outside after the
indoor meeting, and Mr.. Sibley would
talk outside Immediately. Several hun
bred people were induced to leave, and
then after thirty-five minutes of strug-
Cling against the determination of more
people than the hall would hold to hear
him, Mr.. Bryan was able to begin his
speech.
The address delivered by Mr. Bryan
Hornellsvlle today. He put the audience
in good humor Immediately by the state
ment that when so many people gather
ed on such an occasion and put them
selves to so much personal discomfort in
"a banner republican county, he was
afraid to go into any democratic counties
to speak. Mr.. Bryan devoted himself al
most entirely to silver as the paramount
issue of the campaign.

Get to Hear Bryan.


Jamestown. N. Y, Aug. 29.-Mr. Bryan
arrived at the Jamestown station at TAO

thousand people crowded there and along
an emba nkment overlooking the track.
He and Mrs. Bryan were taken to the
Sherman house, where, after quick
supper, they were conveyed TO Celoron,
on the Chautauqua lake, in a special
trolley car.
The convention hall at Celoron has a
seating capacity of 5000. but fully 10000
people were tammed into it long before
the BRYAN party came at o'clock. Out
side there were thousands struggling to
,get to the doors.
When Mr.. Bryan stepped upon the
platform he was greeted with a fierce
shrill cheer. Every one stood on their
chairs waving handkerchiefs and the
cheering was kept up for several min
utes. After this began the trouble, which
came almost to being a pa mic, and under
the conditions there a panic would have
surely resulted In loss of life. NJ. Frank
H. Mott introduced Mr. Bryan.
The presidential candidate stepped

The Linnet at School.

Linnets are taught to draw their OWL
water and open their seedboxes. A bone
thimble is fastened by thread to wire
and filled with water. At first it is fas-
tened close to the wire and filled with
water while the lid of the seedbox is
propped open. Each day the lid Of tho
box is lowered, and the thread Of the
thimble is heightened The bird learns
to push the box open and soon picks up
the thread in its foot when the thimble
is inconveniently distant. A glassful of
water lies below the thimble. and when
the bird has learned to pull the latter up
it is left lying in the water glass, and
the bird hauls it up, as usual with the
water in it.-London Spectator.

bite. The prescription he never knew to
fail, and he had tried it many times

Interest to Bike Riders.

An association for the building and
maintenance Of bicycle track has
been formed here, and by May End. ex-
pect to have grand free opening.
The track will be one eighth of mile
long and fifteen feet wide, and will be
made of clay and cinders. Electric
lights will insure safety to riders, and
we predict that the Bedding Bicycle
Track Association will have all the
riders with them. They will pay
paticular attention to new beginners,
having the center fitted up as prac-
tice ground. Here's success to them.
No interest in path between Green
vile and Belding, at least not this year.
One of our young business men in
forms us that he stands ready to sub
scribe to fund to build a track be-
tween Bedding and lonia, but then he's
interested-in Ionia.
Some of our riders have sent in their
names TO "Scorchings" to enable a
census to be made, but not one quarter
of all the riders have done so. Please
favor us with your name this next week.
Mayor Bricker was seen trying to
mount a wheel, day or SO since, says
it would be easy enough to ride it if
the pesky thing would stand still long
enough to let him get seated.
The side path to Smyrna is in good
condition for riding.
Misses Name Cremin and Lenore
Dreise are the newest lady riders.
Some antagonism to wheels and
wheelmen seems to exist along Broas
st. which finds expression in many
ways, chief of which is through the
children. Little tots of six or seven
years use language and actions toward
bicyclists which is disgraceful, and par
ents OF such children who are of course
most to be blamed should see that
their course is wrong from every point
of view. II they don't like to see a BIZ
cycle ridden because they do not own
one, either let them purchase or else
look the other way when a wheel comes
along.
If rider is careful there need be no
damage to pedestrians, and we believe
our bicyclists are careful.
The riding school seems to be fairly
well patronized.
No serious accidents reported so far
this year.
Weter and Wise are on the wheel
list, they handle the Lindsay.
