Mr.. Sells has national reputation
as an orator. He stands in the front
rank in the politics of his state. A
year ago he was a prominent candi-
date for the democratic nomination

As MIR. Sells is much sought after
by democratic committees through

local county committee feels particu-
larly fortunate in having secured him
fer an address.
A close student of national and
state politics and public affairs, and
also an eloquent taIker, Mr.. Sells is
heard wherever he appears on the
platform with interest and profit, and
he is assured of a large and represen-
tative audience in Rock Island.

to instantly rebuild them.

those responsible for the troubles in
China be punished as an Indispensable
preliminary 10 the peace negotiations.
Il can hardly believe that this step
has been taken" said he, and If it
has, it is so unfortunate in its in
fiuence upon the general question, THAI
! am greatly in hopes Germany VIII re-
consider. lac condition imposed
would be very hard. 1t would amount
to determining one of the subjects be-
fore negotiations had commnced. The
Chinese ENJOYS have complete power
to make terms, SO that this question
and all others viii be proper subjects
for consideration and final settlement.
But, more than this, such a condi-
ton is simply impossible. Suppose the
situation was reversed. and this un-
fortunate trouble had occurred In some
one of the countries now dealing with
China. In the midst of excitement, sus-
plcion might have BEEN directed against
persons high in authority. even against
the members of the royal family in that
country. Would that country consider
the surrender of those persons vaguely
suspected, or would it not ask that all
questions be considered by the court
which was 10 pass upon the entire sub
ject? There have been intimations
against those very high in Chinese af-
fairs, but it would be impossible before
the negotiators had considered the
question, that these persons should be
given up. Who would furnish the
proof? 1t is an Indispensable requisite.
Under these circumstances, | am
most hopeful that Germanys note Is
less positive than the published reports

present throw Up their hands. There
were five people in the bank at the
time. The robbers threatened with in

a show of resistance. One robber, at
the point of a pistol, made Cashier
Nixon open the safe and take from 1t
three sacks of gold coin. They threw
this in an ore sack, together with all
the gold coin in the office drawer. The
robbers then marched the five men out
through a back door to an alley, where
three horses were waiting. The men
were kept covered with guns until the
Gesperadoes mounted their horses and
escaped. The whole affair occurred In

citizens have started in pursuit Of the
robbers, who took a course up the river.
A posse has also started from Gold
