officers Put a Stop to the Per-
formances.

When the Fair opened at South Side
Park, two "houchee couchee" shows
commenced giving performances and
did a thriving business. The show
we're said to be of a very vulgar and OF :
scene character, so Thursday afternoon
Sheriff Hight and Deputy Lttta went
out and informed the managers of the
exhibition that if any other such per
folmances were given they would be
placed under arrest Tne managers
took the advice given them, and that
night one of the shows folded thet
tents. like the Aracs, and silently stole
away" while the other modified their
performance to meet the demands of the
laws.

ter o'clock and concluded at $40 p.
m. Five speeches were made, Mayor
Taggart, of Indianapolis, adding a
welcoming address 20 the notification
speeches of Representative Richard
son and Governor Thomas, and re-
sponses made by Mr.. Bryan and Mr..

The meeting was called to order in
a brief speech Of welcome by Mayor
Taggart, of this city, who said:
''Mr. Chairman Of the National Com
mittee and Gentlemen of the Notifica-
tion Committee: 1t is great pleas

extend to you hearty and cordial
welcome"
Congressman J. D. Richardson, Of
Tennessee, to whose lot, as permanent
chairman of the national convention,
fell the duty of notifying Mr.. Bryan of
his nomination, made the first Of the
notification addresses.
Following the notification speech Of
Mr.. Richardson came the speech of ac-
ceptance by Mr.. Bryan.
Among the sentiments of the sp2e,h
which were applauded with especial
zest were those declaring that under
existing circumstances we dare not ed
ucate the Filipinos, lest they learn to
read the Declaration Of independence
and the Constitution of the United
States; that We would never agre. to
exchange the glory Of this country for
that OF all the empires; that it is not
necessary to own people to trade with
them" and that the command, Go ye

There was also general cheering
over the speakers promise 10
convene Congress Immediately to
remedy the Philippine situation
If he were elected. No par. of the
speech received the commendation that
We; bestowed upon the peroration.
This caused an outburst that was both
tumultuous and prolonged.
Mr. Bryan spoke few words extern
poraneously in Introducing his speech,
all of which except the peroration, was
read from manuscript. The closing
sentences were repeated from memory

day, in this city, officially and form
ally notified of their nominations by
the Democrats at the Kansas City
convention, to the offices respectively
of President and Vice President Of the
United States. The ceremony was
made the occasion of demonstration
with which the Democrats may be
fairly said to have begun their ma

Cured in Military Park, a beautifully
shaded tract Of ground in the centre OF
the city. The park contains probably
30 acres of ground and it was well
covered with people. In the vicinity
of the speakers stand the crowd was
very dense. Probably majority OF
them were residents of Indianapolis,
but many were from other portions Of
Indiana. while many also came from
distant States. There was also quite
a general gathering Of the members Of
the Democratic national committee,
while, of course, the members Of the
two committees appointed to make the
official notifications were also pres
ent. The occasion was, therefore, re-
garded as of national political i'm
portance. The ceremony was preced-
ed by a parade through the principal
streets of the city, which was partici-
pated in by a number Of visiting and
local Democratic clubs. These acted
as an escort to the notification party
and the cavalcade was an imposing one

was that of TGllman, who had to go

Mr.. Stevenson closed as follows:

The temperature was uniformly
high during the week ending 8 a. m.

There were medium to light show

to the southeastern and northwestern
portions. The general absence OF rain,
the prevalence of drying winds, and
the steady high temperature were con-

rain is again widespread. and in places
urgent, especially for food and forage
crops. Practically all crops have been
laid by.
Old corn is made and cannot be ma

quent weather conditions; the crop is
much below the average. Young corn
is better and yet very promising, but

The Senate held no session Saturday
and the House only a five-minute one.
Judge w. T. Lafferty, the member from
Harrison, offered new measure which
he thinks combines the good features of
all the bills that have been offered at
the extra session.
The measure. proposes that the State
Election Commission be composed of
two Democrats, two Republicans and
the Attorney General Of the State as
umpire, and that the County Boards be
composed Of one Democrat and one Re
publican, the umpire to be named by
the Attorney General. The duties of
the boards are to be purely ministerial,
and the officers of election must be
selected from lists submitted by the par
ties and shall not be changed within
five days Of the election at which they
are to serve. The sheriffs of election
are to alternate at the precincts of a
county.
After being presented and its provision
explained by its author the bill was re-
ferred to special committee of five
members of the House to consider it and
report back as soon as possible. The
members of the committee are Repre-
sentatives Grider, Bagby, Stith, Wat
kins and Mimms.
