''The Beers attacked the garrison
1t Glands river on the morning of
August 4. Information was sent to
Darlington, who was on the way to
Glands river. Ian Hamilton, who
reached Rustenburg yesterday, re-
ported hearing heavy firing in the di-
rectiOn of Glands river. To-day the
firing seems more distant which
looks as if the Glands river garrison
had been relieved and was retiring
towards Zerust."

OFFICIALLY NOTIFIED.
Bryan and Stevenson Informed of
Their Nominations.
The Ceremony, Which Took Place
at indianapolis, Ind, Was Made
an Occasion of Popular
Demonstration.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 9.-Hon.
William j. Bryan and Hon. Adlai F..
Stevenson were officially and formally
notified of their nomination by the
democrats at their recent Kansas City
convention to the offices respectively
of president and vice president of the
United States. The ceremony was
made the occasion of a popular dem
onstratiOn, and with it the democrats
may be fairly said to have begun their
national campaign.
The notification occurred in the mil
itary park, a beautifully shaded tract
of ground in the center of the city.
The park contains probably 80 acres
of ground and it was well covered
with people. In the vicinity of the
speakers stand the crowd was very
dense, but on the outskirts there were
comparatively few. 1t would be a
delicate undertaking to estimate the
number Of persons contained in this
vast throng, but there were certainly
many thousands of them. Probably
a majority of them were residents OF
Indianapolis, but many of them were
from other portions of Indiana, while
many also came from distant states.
There was also quite a general gath
ering of the members of the demo-
cratic national committee, while, of
course, the members of the two COM
mittees appointed to make the Off
cial notifications were also present.
The ceremony. was preceded by a
parade through the principal streets
of the city which was participated in
by number of visiting and local
democratic clubs. These acted as an
escort to the notification party and
the cavalcade was an imposing on.
The meeting began a few minutes
after o'clock and concluded at 5: ID
p. III. In this period of time five
speeches were made, Mayor Taggart,
of indianapolis, adding a welcoming
address to the two notification
speeches of Representatives Richard
son and Thomas and the responses
made by Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Steven
son.
The weather was hot, but towards
the close of the ceremonies a slight
breeze alleviated to some extent the
suffering occasioned by the high tenn
perature. At one time it appeared as
if actual suffOcation might be the re-
suit of the terrible crowding in front
of the stand where the ceremonies
occurred, but beyond a few faintin=g
attacks and much personal discom-
fort, no evil resulted.
At night a mass meeting was held
at Tomlinson hall which was pre-
sided over by Hon. Carter Harrison,
mayor of Chicago, and addressed by
Mr.. Bryan and Hon. Webster Davis
The meeting was not called to order
until $3.50 o'clock, but the hall, which
is large one, was filed an hour be-
fore that time. Mr.. Bryan was re-
ceived with vociferous applause when
he arrived.

One of Susquchanna county's commissioners says
that the proper way to get bridge over the

county courts to appoint viewers who will re-
port on the necessity of such a structure at this
point. Then il the report is favorable, the
judges of the two counties must confirm it,
when the matter will become one for the COM
missoners 10 consider. Well, why not take
these preliminary steps at once so that the
commissioners, who have shown themselves so
anxious to favor us, can do so?
