FOURTH

CHICAGO, July Ii. = William Jen.
nings Bryan of Nebraska was nomi-
mated for President of the United
States by the Democratic national
convention on the fifth ballot.
AS soon as the fourth ballot was
announced, cheers were raised for
Bryan and an attempt was made to
stampede the convention to him, while
Illinois and Pennsylvania asked leave
to retire for caucuses.
Then the standards of nineteen
states We're taken to the Nebraska
delegation, while the convention
cheered wildly. The scene of Bryan's
demonstration of yesterday was re-
peated, the entire convention standing
on chairs waving hats, fans and news
papers containing pictures of Bryan.
There was a procession of state stand
ards about the hall
Tremendous cheering arose as
Illinois joined the procession, and it
wa announced that Illinois in caucus
had voted to go for Bryan.
There were no portraits Of Bryan to
be found in the city large enough for
convention purposes. A morning
newspaper which had printed a full
page picture of the convention star
orator was much in demand. Copies
Of it were stuck up on in the
galleries and a Mississippi mar hung
one sheet to the standard of that
Next came the report that Ohio vas
to change to Bryan.
A banner marked mo crown of
thorns, 10 O of gold,' was carried
in the procession. Then the conven-
rion went wild as the Ohio standard
was carried to the Nebraska delega-
ton, and the convention was appar-
emily stampeded to Bryan.
Chairman White announced that
two-thirds Of the votes cast would
nominate.
Suddenly two girls dressed in pink
appeared on a table back of the alter
Mates seats. They held in their
hands a large silk flag, on one side of
which shone the clear cut features Of
Bryan. To and fro it waved, while
10000 Threats yelled and screamed.
The band played, but it could not be
heard.

STATE OF PIKE
THE HOME OF THE STARK
BROTHERS. NURSERIES.
One OF h Biggest Institutions In tho
World-its Trade Extends TO Nearly
Every Civilized Nation on Earth.

st. Louis Republic, January Z, 1896:
One Of the largest institutions in Louis
lana is the Stark Bros Nurseries and
Orchards company. The trade Of tho
firm extends not only throughout the
United States, Canada. Germany,
France, Italy, Hungary and other for
eign countries, but it has q number Of
Customers both in New Zealand and
Australia. { ~
Eighty years ago there came from
Kentucky to Pike county the late
Judge Stark, then a young man fresh
from Old Hickory's New Orleans cam
paign. He started the nursery and
planted the first grated orchard In the
state, having brought the scions on
horseback from Kentucky.
The business has descended from
father to son, and is now conducted BY
the third generation. assisted by the
fourth. This firm has more than 1000
travelling solicitors, and employs more
people in Its Offices than would be nee
essary to run q large manufacturing
concern. The extensive packing-houses
OF the company are adjacent to the city,
connected with the railroad by special
tracks. From these packing-houses
hundreds Of carloads Of trees are
shipped annually. The nursery grounds
embrace a number of farms convenient
to the city, and even extends to Rock
port, ILL.,, where there is a plant Of
several million trees.
The popularity of the concern Is the
establishment OF large orchards. These
orchards in "a states aggregate nearly
Sc, 900 acres, and more than $500, 900
trees on the partnership plan. The firm
is also interested in as many more
trees on the cooperative arrangement.
The nurseries have been beneficial not
only to their home, but Missouri owes
no little Of her prestige as a fruit
growing region to the progress and
work OF development of this firm. The
exhibits of this firm, whenever made,
attract great attention, and do much
to advertise the state. The firm pays
large amounts for new varieties of fruit
and conducts the largest business OF
the kind in America. if not in the
world.
Louisiana firms have more travelling
men upon the road for them than travel
out of any other city of the world oil
it's size. This, of course, is largely due
to the large number of men employed
by the Stark Bros. Nurseries, who fur.
nish their men the most complete. up
to-date outfit ever issued. They are
increasing their force of statesmen daily
and room for more.
