in 1890
Col. Bryan spent the entire day here,

At the Auditorium.
As early as I o'clock admirers from
both sexes began gathering at the Audito-

choice seats. The big auditorium to the
theater was quickly filled up, and then
the galleries were soon crowded. The
house was literally packed by the time
Judge W. w. Mcdowell called the meet

a graceful and complimentary speech No
introduction was necessary, however, for
the mere statement here he is" would
have been sufficient for that audience.
Many, if not the majority OF the 1000
people who were before him had heard the
former candidate for President in his ora
torical fight for the Democratic party and
free silver, and then again had heard his
lecture delivered here about year ago

was essentially his text last night, there

Ten Degrees Below Zero.

CHICAGO, Feb. 24.-The coolest wealth
err OF the year was experienced in Chi
cago tonight. Before midnight the
mercury, which began dropping in the
afternoon after having risen degrees
since daylight, fell to 10 below zero,
and this low temperature was accom-.
panied by brisk northeast wind that
served to increase the hardships of
those who were in the streets. While
the wind was keenly felt even in the
sheltered down town section, it was in
the suburban districts that the cold
was hardest to endure.
