Iryan Scores Cannon?At- F
tacks Him in His Own
District.
Kvansville, Ind., Sept. 10.?
[eavy personal onslaughts on ^
peaker Joseph G. Cannon, of
le national House of Repreintatives,
were made today by
William J. Bryan iu the course h
f his travels through Illinois. [\
The Democratic candida'e at 0|
icked Mr. Cannon from all
des. He charged the Speaker ?1
ith being the favorite of pred- 01
ory corporations, with having ti
rangled reform legislation and h
ith havintt falsified the facts a
ith regard to Mr. Bryan's
ealth.
Mr. Bryan reached Speaker e
annon's COneres<ainn at rtiatriiO
bout 9 o'clock this morning n
hen a ten-minute stay was t<
lade at Toledo, HI. A great ,|
*owd had assembled to hear
1m, and the Nebraskan irame- e
lately launched into his pbilipp:a
against the Speaker. Moy?g
on from Toledo, Mr. Bryan p
jpeated hii rem irks at Newton,
II.
Not content with his stale- ?
lent* at these two placj8. the
iemocratic candidate tor I'resi- e'
ent later on, tit Oiney, 1'1 ,
here he stayed tor three hours,
penly accused the Speaker of
ailing a lalsehood when, the
I : ~ -.11- * ^
poitivrr iu auuiessing < lie oprmg
eld convention fixed Mr. Bryti's
wealth at a million dollars.
In grea* detail Mi*. Bryan gave
gures showing how his money d
iad been acquired lrorn the day v
ie entered Congress until the ^
iresent time. lie denied em- .
iliatically that he was worth a 1
Million dollars and fixed the I
imount of his "earthly posses- 1
ions" at $150,000 as the ex- I
reme limit. g
Not since the campaign began ^
ias Mr. Bryan spoken with such
'ehemence, and it is 9aid to be
he first time that a presidential '
andidate ever went out of his V
vay to attack a candidate lor a
Jongress. ^

Report False that Attempt
Had Been Made to Shoot
Roosevelt.
Oyeter Bay, N. Y., Sept. 9.?
ensational reports that an at
)inpt had been made to shoot
resident Roosevelt apparently
ave 'heir origin in the fact that
le hunting season has opened
a Long Island and there is conderable
shooting daily in the
allying districts. Close invesgation
fails to show that there
as heen anv r?v?rf #ct
sraimt the president.
It is his custom to ride out
very day, covering various
outes in the country and it is
ot unusual lor him to encoun?r
parties ot hunters Also,
iiere is a shooting club which
nfrajies in target practice not
?r trora Sagamore Hill.
Mr Loeb, secretary to the
resident, said today it was not
elieved for a moment that any
ne had tried to do harm to Mr.
'.oosevelt. No attention whatver
was beint: paid to the niat>r
officially, he said.
Jnknown Pest Destroying

Boll Weevil.
Anderson special in Thurslay's
Slate: Mr G. It. McLees,
vho lives near Cross Roads in
)conee county, has been showing
n this city some specimens ot a
)est which has been playiug
lavoc with the cotton fields in
lis section. It is a bu?, or in
lect, armed with a bill or "sting>r"
an eighth ot an inch or so in
eogth. Mr. McLees says that
he bug will sting the cotton
ioIIs when they are about grown
nd that the bolls straightway
iie and rot. The stint: ot the .
nsect seems to convey a powerul
poison. The pests are paricularly
bad on the farm of
lr. Kutiis Bojrus of the Cross
toads section anil it looks now
s if ivir. Bog^s will not make
,ay cotton at all. Whole fields
iave been deitroyed. Mr. Mojeea
was inclined to think that
he pest was the Texas boll
t'eevil, hut no one here could
ay positively that it is the weeil.

Spartanburg special in The

omrnent, on the results today
urther than to say he regretted
he rouble in reference to the
ickets, which the young men in
lis olliee had sent out, with his
lame in lar^e black face type.
He said the t'ckets were perfectly
lawful, but that the action
>f Chairman Jones had hurt him
ind caused an unpleasantness he
rr^atly regretted.
He is quoted as saying that
le in sal lulled that the stand the
rhairman of the State executive
ommittee took was adopted
)urposely to injure him.
