BLAND THE SPOKESMAN.
Bryan Compelled to Save His Over
talked Voice.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Aug. n.-Hon.
William Jennings Bryan and party left
Pittsburg at 1880 O'Clock this morning
on the day express, over the main line
of the Pennsylvania railroad, and con-
tinued their journey eastward. The
PttSburg reception committee, headed
by Chairman Howley, called at the ho-
tel at o'clock, and five minutes later
the procession started for the Union
station. There was no brass band to
speed the parting guests, but a good
sized crowd had gathered in front of
the hotel to catch glimpse of the
boy orator" When he made his ap-
pearance a lusty cheer went up. All
along the route to the station the par
ty was greeted with cheers. Quite a
crowd had gathered at the depot, and
as the distinguished party hurriedly
embarked on the waiting train, the
members were given a hearty Send-off.
GREENSBURG, Pa, Aug. n-About
500 people gathered at Irwin station,
but the train went through without
stopping. The train arrived at Green's
burg at 8:31 a. m. and only stopped
for two minutes. About 1900 people
were at the station. Mr.. Bryan ap-
peared on the rear platform and was
greeted by a hearty cheer. He re-
fused to speak. however. and bowed
his acknowledgements. Mrs. Bryan
also came out on the platform and
shook hands with a number of those
present.
LATROBE, Pa, Aug. 11.-When the
Bryan train reached this point about
200 people greeted the candidate with a
shake of the hand. It is understood
that If any talking be found necessary
today, it will fall to Mr.. Bland to do
it.
JOHNSTOWN, Pa, Aug. 11.-Ap-
preaching Johnstown, Mr.. Bryan and
Mr.. Bland were escorted to the rear
platform by the committee in charge
for the purpose of introducing Mr..
Bryan to the large crowd of people
who were assembled to greet him.
Mr.. Bland attempted to make little
speech. He said:
'I am glad to see that even in staid
Pennsylvania large crowds can be as
sembled. Last night at Pittsburg fully
$4,000 people were in the streets at the
opera house."
Mr. Bland succeeded in getting no
farther in his remarks The people
wanted to see Mr.. Bryan, and not to
listen to any talk. Their shouts and
cries drowned the speech-making, and
Mr.. Bland desisted from his effort,
simply introducing Mr.. Bryan to the
people. The demonstration was enthu-
siastic as usual, and during the five
| minutes stop handshaking and fra
| ternal greetings and congratulations
were INDUCED in. The train moved off
amidst enthusiastic shouts.

They work by the acre, $5 being the
sum received for that amount of work.
The women are very industrious, and
get a great deal accomplished as is
proven by the fact that a few days ago
eleven women pulled seventeen and a
half acres of fax in a little less than
six days. The men interested in this
industry are Messrs. s. C. Furlow. H.

which means that it is placed under

WORST HEAT OVER.
The East Will Have Some Relief
Today.

WASHINGTON, Aug II. The
weather bureau tonight holds out mod
crate relief for the east and central
states within the next twenty-four
hours. The high area central last
night over the Mississippi valley is to-
night bound to sea over the ST. Law
renee valley, dragging the high heat in
it's wake. Montana, Colorado, Iowa,
Kansas and Nebraska enjoyed a fall
of temperature of from ten to fifteen
degrees. The cool wave Travelled about
500 miles in twenty-four hours. Maj.
Dunwoody says 1t will move eastward
at little more rapid pace during the
next twenty-four hours. The govern
ment weather shap wants it UNDER
stood that this is not a cold wave,t 4
but merely a relief from the excessive
and almost unprecedented hot spell.
While he makes no definite predictions,
he ventures the statement that storm
from the West may come sweeping up
the coast about this time, and it is be-
traying no confidence to say that he
would not be surprised to see one come
rushing along within the next four or
five days.
Altogether this protracted hot spell
can be classed as remarkable. The high

CROWDS THROUGH PENNSYLVANIA.
Only Short Stops Were Made Yes
terday and Not Nearly So
Many of Them.

NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-William Jen-
nings Bryan stepped upon the soil of
the Empire state tonight for the first
time since his nomination for the presi-
dency by the Democratic national con-
vention at Chicago. 1t was practically
a step into the avowed section of oppo-
sition to his candidacy, an opposition
not in party lines, but said to exist
within the party under whose emblem
he looks for victory in November. If,
however, the ordeal was one that would
make nervous the average man, it's ef
feet upon Mr.. Bryan was not, to the
observer, Of that charcter. When Mr..
Bryan stepped from the train and
grasped the hand of Senator Jones,
committee, his greeting showed not a
bit of nervousness, but either a tinge
of bravery in facing the ordeal, or a
gladness at being among those with
whom he could discuss and argue the
great issues of the campaign.
The crowd that gathered at the Jer-
sey City station of the Pennsylvania
road to greet the Bryan party was not
as large as expected, a thousand peo-
pie in all, possibly, paying their way
to the ferry house in order to see the
redoubtable orator from the West. But
it was a crowd that made the fifty
Jersey City police display every bit of
their ability in subduing, and which
was enthusiastic to the core. 1t was
a crowd that was quite as cosmopolitan
in it's nature as il was evidently Demo-
cratic in its proclivities and sympa-
thies. The majority of the men stood
with their hats off, to relieve them
selves of the terrific heat There were
few women in the crowd and some
mothers brought their children to look
upon the face of a possible president of
the United States
Awaiting the arrival of the train the
crowd amused itself by watching
Chairman Jones, Vice Presidential
Nominee Sewall, VIM. P. st. John and
National Committeeman Tomlinson, of
Indiana, eating a modest repast in the
railroad restaurant. A large majority
of the crowd had purchased ferry tick
cts, emitting them to passage to New
York city, and it was evident from
their actions afterward that they all
expected to ride on the same boat with
the Bryan party. One anxious individ-
ual inquired Of Sergeant-at-Arms
Oliver, of the national committee:
Does he go in special boat?"
Mr.. Oliver responded with a con-
tempt that almost withered the ques-
toner: mo, he's a Democrat" and so
he was. When Mrs. Bryan a1ighted,
Mr. Tomlinson took her in charge and
hurried her along the private passage
way which the police had laid out for
the party to pass through She was
hardly noticed by the crowd and took
the first boat out of the slip. while her
husband and the remainder of the part,
followed behind the struggling police
to second boat. To go a distance OF
less than hundred feet, it took the
party some fifteen minutes OF more

PIERRE, S. D., Aug. 1.-THE state
board of equalization has completed
its work for 1896, and has made the
following levies: General fund, mills;
1-10 Of a mill for 1895 bonds; 1-10th of a
mill special sinking fund; 1 $40 mills
bond interest and sinking fund. This
includes payment Of 100000 state
bonds payable next year, making a
total state levy of mills. The rate of
taxation on corporations was fixed at
32 mills, and the valuations are left
practically, the same as last year The
assessment on bank stock was raised
to go per cent of par The representa-
tives of the several railroads were here
asking for reductions, but did not re-
ceive much benefit from their efforts
One popularity in the statements of
the road presented to the board was
that the Northwestern road showed
that their cost of operation in the state
is $123 for every dollar earned; while
the Milwaukee, running practically
through the same territory, showed
that their operating expenses were z
cents for every dollar earned. The val
uation Of real estate is reduced 81, $780,
900, and the total valuation of the
state will be reduced between $4,000, 900
and $3,O0O,000. @geas
