BRYAN ACCEPTS
OF POPULISTS
The Nomination of Their
Party for President.
BIG GATHERING IN TOPEKA
At Same Time and Place Nebraskan
Receives indorsement of Montary
League=Jlis Speech Diplomatic.
At Topeka, Kan., Thursday William
Jennings Bryan reoeived the second
•official notification of his nomination
for the presidency. This notification
came from the Populist party through
Thomas M. Patterson, of Colorado.
He was at the same time informed by
A. W. Bneker of the indorsement of
his candidacy by the United States
Monetary League.
The ceremonies took place in the
state capitol grounds and were wit
nessed. by a large audience.
In many respects the meeting paral
leled the Indianapolis notification.
This was true in the fact that both
were held in parks; in that the weather
w'as intensely hot and in that the im
patience of the crowd compelled speak
ers preceding Mr. Bryan to curtail
their remarks, and the entire ceremo
nies ended in about an hour and a
half. Kuiu had been threatened early
in the day, but before the meeting was
called to order at 3:30 o’clock, all fears
of a storm bad vanished.
Many of the auditors found their
way to the vicinity of the stand an
hour or more before the speaking be
gan, and valiantly held their ground,
despite the intense heat.
State Chairman Kidgely, of the Pop
ulist parry, introduced Jas. A. Trout
man, who made a brief speech welcom
ing Mr. Bryan to the city. Mr. Trout
man formerly was lieutenant governor
of the state, and is Bepublican in pol
itics. His speech was personally com
plimentary to Mr. Bryan.
Mr. Troutman was followed by
Prank Doster, chief justice of the
state, who extended the welcome of
the state at large. He had prepared a
speech, but he delivered only a small
part of it because of the heat and the
■evident desire to hear Mr. Bryan.
Mr. Doster was followed by Jerry
Simpson, who was introduced as the
permanent chairman in the absence of
National Chairman Butler. Mr. Simp
son made a brief speech congratulat*
ing Topeka upon being selected as a
place for the notification of Mr. Bryan
by a great party as its candidate for
the presidency. He compared Mr.
Bryan with Lincoln and predicted
that he would lead the people back tD
the landmark of human liberty which
Lincoln had so materially assisted in
■establishing.
“Let us trust,” he said, “that Ne
braska and Kansas, standing 'side by
side as in 1860, will again give tbeir
support to a candidate who has, as the
candidate of that time, had but one
code of morals which embraces, as did
Lincoln’s all men of all times, regard
less of color or environment.”
Mr. Simpson introduced Mr. Patter
son, who, as chairman of the national
Populist convention, became chairman
of the notification committee. Mr.
Patterson was received with applause
and many of his points were loudly
cheered, but, like Judge Doster, he
materially reduced the length of his
speech because of the heat and of the
impatience of the audience. Judge
A. W. Rucker, who conveyed to Mr.
Bryan the information of his indorse
ment by the United States Monetary
League, bad also j;o yield to the de
mands for a curtailment of his speech.
When Mr. Rucker took his seat, Mr.
Simpson lost no time in introducing
Mr. Bryan, who was received with a
burst of applause. Mr. Bryan read
the greater part of his address from
manuscript and the delivery consumed
about forty minutes, but the crowd
listened intently throughout and with
out any manifestation, of impatience
or disapproval. When he ceased speak
ing those present were invited to
shake hands with him, and many
availed themselves of this opportunity.
••NO TRUTH IN IT.”
Carnegie Denies Report That He Will
W ill Take Stump For Bryan.
In reference to a report which has
been current for several days, The
New York World prints the the follow
ing copyright cable:
“London, August 24. —The W T orld
correspondent telegraphed Andrew
Carnegie, who is at Skiboe castle, his
Scotch residence, asking whether the
report was true that he intended to
stump the United States for Bryan,
because of bis opposition to imperial
ism. Mr. Carnegie replied: ‘There is
no truth in the report.’ ”
JACOBI GIVES BOND.

night the bond of Sandford Jacobi,
charged with assaulting a lady, which
had beed fixed at §2,000, was signed
by Jacques Loeb and Bernard Franks,
prominent Jewish citizens of Mont

direct to the union depot and left the
city on a southbound passenger tram

The Tarantula In Porto Rico.
The tarantula of Porto Rico Is the
most venomous and aggressive spider
in the world. It has a brown, furry j
body as largo as. and sometimes larger [
than, a fifty-eent piece, supported by
long, hairy legs. It does not spin a
web, but makes its home in holes
which It excavates in the ground and
lines with its silk. It is the terror of
insects, wandering about after dark in
search.of its prey; and pouncing upon
and devouring its victims with surpris
iug activity.
Almost if not quite as dangerous as
the tarantula, is the scorpion, whose
sting is greatly feared. It resembles
somewhat a tiny lobster, and lias a
curved and sharp stinging apparatus,
through which it emits the venom con
tained in its poison glands. It lives
in the ground and in dark places, often
invading dwellings. When disturbed
it runs very fast, with its tail curled
over its back. Its bite is painful, but
there is some doubt as to its ever prov
ing fatal, except, perhaps, to persons
in a low state of health.
Then there are swiftly moving centi
pedes of various sizes. They travel
with a suakelike movement and are
very repulsive in appearance. Some
are about four inches in length, but
others twice as long exist. They feed
on insects and conceal themselves in
dark places. Their bite Is said to be
very painful and possibly dangerous.

Sea island Cotton.
Considerable sea island cotton could
be produced iu Louisiana and in for
mer years this crop attracted much at
tention, more particularly along the
sea shores in St. Bernard parish, and
this Industry could doubtless
very largely developed if it were
found profitable.
The experience of Florida in this di
rection would indicate the desirability
of our Louisiana cotton planters along
the Gulf const giving greater atten
tion to this staple than formerly.
In Florida about 2,300 acres of sea
island cotton are reported by their own
department of agriculture. South
Carolina and Georgia give some atten
tion to it, and in North Carolina 775
acres have been reported, and in
Georgia 1,808 acres.
Sea Island cotton, or black seed cot
ton, as it is sometimes called, can
not be grown upon all kinds of soil. In
recent years the Egyptian cotton has
interfered more or less with the price
of sea island cotton, the Egyptian tak
ing its place in the production of the
well-known balbriggan goods.—The
