Mr.. Edward A. Temple, president
of the Bankers Life Association of
Des Moines, is one of the ablest and
best informed life insurance men in
the country. AS for the company it.
self, little need be said. 1t is known
from ocean to ocean, and has many
imitatOrs in all parts of the country,
but no equals. 1t is decidedly unique
in its character, and stands alone with
its particular plan. 1t provides insur-
ance for bankers, merchants, farmers
and their patrons engaged in non-haz-
ardous occupations at the very mini
mum of cost, and under system in
which conservatism and permanency
are the chief characteristics. Its lcer-
tificates are renewable by regular
quarterly payments, in January, April,
July and October, and it holds le-
serve largely in excess of that required.

of its assets is pledged with the state
department as security to members, in
cluding $500, 600 surplus fund for pro-
lection against increased cost from
epidemic or other causes. Its plan is
strictly mutual in all its features. The
Bankers Life courts the fullest criti-
cism as to its methods and the closest
investigation as to its management.

On December 8, 1894, vile murder
was committed in Minneapolis. Miss
Catherine Cling was murdered for her
insurance, and Harry Il. Hayward was
the instigator of the crime. He was
arrested, indicted by the grand jury,
was tried and convicted, and on the 7th
of December, 1895 the day of execution
was fixed, which was last Wednesday,
Dec. IL, 1895. Hayward was cheerful
all the time and laughed and joked up
to the end. He made statement on
the scaffold forgave his brother Adry
for all the past wrong; uttered brief
prayer and then said he was ready.
His last words as the moose was drawn
around his neck were: "Draw it tight,
Pll stand pat"
The drop fell at 2:05 Wednesday
morning, and Harry died in thirteen
minutes from strangulation, his neck
not being broken.
Thus ended the last chapter in the
history of one of the coolest and most
nervy criminals known to this age.

THE NEW DOMINION.

A good audience assembled at the
Grand last evening to witness Mr..
Clay Clement and his excellent COM
pany play The New Dominion.
This is the finest play we ever had in
the Grand without any exception.
Enough cannot be said in its praise.
Mr.. Clement is an actor of the highest
order and perfect gentleman in every
sense of the word. He was supported
by very fine cast.
In the role of Baron Hohenstauffen
Mr.. Clement is decided success.
He is certainly a comedian, as was
seen by his delightfully."- humorous act
ing, and his desperate efforts to speak
the English language correctly, and
his attempt to teach the young ladies
to speak the German language.
Should he ever return to Decorah he
would pack the house to overfowing.

TO WHOM DO LAKE BEDS BELONG?


The following is dispatch from
Sioux City, Iowa, to the Chicago
Record:
Another interesting question con-
cerning the ownership Of dry lake beds
i'm the state of Iowa has been raised by
Gov. jackson. The lands in question
were covered by water when the gov
ernments survey was made and meander
lines were accordingly run around
them. When the water subsequently
drained off the land was consequently
not included as part of the state. The
adjacent property owners claimed it as
accretiOn., Squatters settled on it at the
same time on the ground that it was
government land, and as such was
open to entry the same as any other
government land would be. The state
put in a claim on the ground that it
was swamp land and belonged to it
under an act of Congress of fifty years
ago. The governor now points out
that the land is likely to be again COW
cred with water during wet seasons,
and that if the tracts are still to be
considered as lakes the title lies in the
government. The matter will probab-
ly be taken into the federal courts for
settlement.

Mr.. Clay Clement in ''The New Dominion" at
the Grand Thursday Evening.

Only fair house greeted j. X. EN-
met Fritz in Fritz in the Mad House
at Steyer's Opera House last Monday
evening.
Mr.. Emmet was supported by very
good company of players, and they
gave us the best entertainment we
have seen in that house for years.
One of the features of the evening
was little Baby Sinnot as Schneider,
who played companion parts with
Fritz. This little one could not have
been over five years old, and her sing
ing and dancing were good; and she
seemed as much at home on the stage
as one who had been before the public
for ten years.
Fritz's singing brought encore after
encore from the audience.

A LETTER.
EDITORS PUBLIC OPINION

EDITORS PUBLIC OPINION:
In recent publication in the Deco
rah Republican of Nov. IA, last, the
editor of that sheet must have gotten
on one Of his usual frenzies when he
remarked what an oblique mentality
such voter must have because an
election official told him of ballots that
he, the official, found, on which the
prohibition State ticket and G.. H. Jen-
nisch were given crosses. oh sancta
sinaplicitus! Has not prohibitionist
the same right to vote for democrat,
or whomsoever he pleases, without con.
sulting A. X, as long as his honest and
moral belief dictates to him the truth
in either two of their platforms. None
of our republican friends dared to tell
the questions in our last campaign and
simply confided themselves on the
silver and tariff question that was no
issue at all, it was simply Catching
the coon" as Mr.. Bailey puts it. L
cannot see why A. X. roasts me in
this manner, perhaps because / am
German democrat. Remember the
words of Tacitus, the Roman Emper-
or--7auttds Murtdii,ue arnais ait tide an
te GermdnOs esse. Has he not lent
helping hand to force prohibition on
Iowa and later a mulct law? Has he
not helped to force Germans from Re-
publican ranks; helped to close up
breweries etc. that We're built up in our
state by hard-earned money during a
lifetime by those people, and never
gave them the least compensation? All
such wrongs should have been righted.
The Car of Russia could not pass
such fanatical laws on his serfs twen-
ty-five years ago, and yet the intelli-
gent people of Iowa must bow down to
the legislation of few fanatical
cranks.
AS an American citizen | have the
same right to my belief as Mr.. Bailey,
and as German would invite him
to go ahead.
Finis,
C.. III. JENNISCH.

How to Play Golf.

To his other accomplishments Gus
Heege, the actor, has added the art of
golf-playing. His description of the
sport will prove interesting. "I'll tell
you," said he to a party of friends re-
Gently, "golf is easy. First you go
down to the store, buy fifteen clubs,
bag and small ball. Then you
hire small boy to carry them. and
take him along until you find a broad,
open field with a small molehill in the
middle of it. You place the small ball
on the top of the molehill and ask the
boy for club. You gyrate for a mo-
ment for effect, then make deter
mined swoop and see how far you can
knock the ball. Here's where the
game begins. If you find the ball
the same day you hit it, you win."-

Furnished by one of the Students.l
The debators at the Valdez Literary
and Debating Society had quite an in
teresting time last Friday evening.
The question was: Resolved, that
Washington did more for his nation
than did Abraham Lincoln.
Mr.. Heilman led on the affirmative,
laying a good foundation for his side to
work on. Mr.. Graft then took the
floor and showed his ability in debat-
ing. He, too, laid good foundation
for the negative side. Mr.. Howe was
then called upon for the affirmative.
He made good speech for Mr.. Wash
ington and showed himself to be a
good debator. Mr.. Freeberg had made
his escape at intermission, and Mr..
Lincoln was compelled to do without
him. Mr.. WatrOs appeared for the
affirmative. He made short, but
strong speech, and good one for his
side. Mr.. Jones made lengthy
speech for the negative side, placing
Mr.. Lincoln far above Mr.. Washing
ton. Mr.. Graft closed the negative
side with a short, strong speech, as did
Mr.. Heilman with the affirmative.
Thus closed a hot contest between
five good debating students, each one
having done his part well. The judges
decided in favor of the affirmative
side. w.
