Bland Gets an Ovation. Springfield, Mo., July 20.—There was an illustration to-night as to what the rank and file of Republicans think of Bland “Silver Dick” Bland spoke for a few minutes on the pub- lic square this evening, and all such little fellows as Davis, Upton, Ca- hoon, Lewis and the rest were en- tirely forgotten. The eptire city turned out to hear him, and farmers came from every direction for miles. There was a torch light procession which was over an hour in passing, and 10,000 people packed the public equare to hear the father of free sil- ver. Bland was given a great ovation aud every sentence in his brief speech was greeted with applause List of Delegates.

The lecture of Rev. Jones was one of great interest. The theory in re- gard to the tides isa new and rea sonable one, and is the Doctor's own. It has caused a great deal of interesting discussion among the teachers. Miss Ludwig's lecture was also an interesting one. She handled her subject, ‘Primary Education Among the Early Greeks,” in an easy and logical way. She isa lady of rare culture and one of Michigan's deep students. The class divisions in the Iusti- tute are developing methods and theories, sifting and boiling down in a way that fairly takes the breath from the layman.
