Jennings Bryan of Nebraska to-day made a grand stride out of the West, whence he sprang toward the heart of the ene my’s country, as he has seen fit to de- nominate New York. As the train on the Penneylvania Central, upon which he trav- eled, put out of Chicago at a little be- fore midnight demonstrations were made at Sotth Chicago and the other suburban stations, large crowds surrounding the train at the stations and attesting their presence by the use of fireworks and brass bands. The train had barely passed the city lim- its, however, before Mr. and Mrs. Bryan retired to their room in the handsome compartment car. Again did the Bryan mf fail to catch up with Hon. and Mrs, .

John J. A. Creighton of Omaha, a member of the ood . Notification Committee, is also with it. Mr. Bryan was feeling unusually over a meeting at Chicago with Hon. A. J. arner of the Bimetallic League, and with on. George W. Peck of Wisconsin. Mr. Peck was until recently against him, but he become an ardent Bryan man and yes- terday assured Mr. Bryan that he will carry Wisconsin. Gov. Peck says conditions are more favorable than they were in 1890, when he was elected Governor. At V so, 1:40 a. m., @ crowd aggre- gating 1,000 was in waiting, about 100 of them carrying torches.

Besides, he ex- ted to have gue a large audience to to in New York and “I want to save some of my voloe for that meeting.“ Thes the crowd filed past him in unusual good r and all who cared to secured a grasp of his hand. “I want to shake,” said one man, in a loud voice. “Weill,” said Mr. Bryan, as he reached for him, “don’t shake me on election day.“ Hurrah for the next President of the United States,“ came a voice from the crowd. “That is sufficiently indefinite,“ added Mr. Bryan, to permit all to join,” and the three cheers were given.

For the first time in four days the mer- cury started in the day at something like a decent figure. At 7 o’clock it was only 80. This is hot enough for almost any climate and only seems reasonable by comparison with the temperature of & with which the last few days have been started off. During the night it was even lower. At 4a. m. it was 78 and sleep was a comfort in the reach of all. At 10 o’clock it was W. five degrees cooler than on Sunday at the same hour. Assistant Forcaster Herndon gave it as his opinion that it would hardly be hotter t or at the utmost 92 degrees.

But the deaths due directly to the heat since August 1 are alarming, and up to noon Monday numbered eighty-five. Saturday was the worst day yet. Out of a total of seventy-six certificates, Mortuary Clerk Karges issued twenty-three of them for deaths from sunstroke. The only other day that approached Saturday’s record was August 1, when fifteen certificates went on record for victims of Old Sol's wrath. A singular fact in connection with the deaths from heat is that at least four-fifths of them are adults. The fatalities among children has been gratifyingly small not only since the ex- cessively hot weather set in, but alse for the past month. June was the most fatal month of the year, or for several years, to many children, and Health Commissioner Starkloff attributed it largely to the im- pure milk furnished by the dairies.
