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. Is Charged With Assaulting Young Ladv But Is Allowed Freedom. At Montgomery, Ala., Thursday 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 gomery. The young man was driven direct to the union depot and left the city on a southbound passenger tram for a “pleasure” trip to the gulf coast. 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. Gold Medal Awarded Walter Maker & Cos.

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 Southern Farmer.
