In few moments Barbara appeared

Benton sprang from his horse to her

The first piece of news the husband
received was that Mrs. Richie had

the remuneration which had occurred
when Benton had been there before.
Mrs. Richie was a woman who, when
her mind was made up, would stop at
no means which she regarded legitl-

stolen from her. Therefore she had a

ROSE GREETS FARMERS.
Delivers Ten Speeches in Three
Counties on the Same Day.

Mayor Rose delivered ten addresses
Tuesday, his concluding speech being in
Richland Censer. Farmers came a dis
lance of fifteen miles TO hear him. The
court house, where the Democratic car
dldate for governor talked. was damned
and hundreds could not gain admlttance.
Mayor Rose recalled in brief terms the
names of men who had conferred dis
ungulShment upon this section of Wis
consin, mentioning the names of Moses
NJ. Strong. Judges Crawford, Knowlton,
Dunn and Coltrum. He took up the
taxation question and discussed the in
congruitleS of the present system, calling
the present plan double taxation. He
brought up the matter of the Frost bill.
He said if Gov. La Toilette would de-
vote more of his attention TO tightening
the tax burdens on Gods patient poor he
would have more demand on their SYM
pathy and their support. The speaker
touched upon the school scandal charge,
giving the details of the transaction.
Scores Stevens Bill.
In reference to the Stevens bill legis-
lation, Mayor Rose took up the steps by
which this law was sought to be enacted
by Gov. L. Toilette and said that Sen
ators KIeutzer and Hatton and others
tried to secure compromise and amend
ment without success. He said that
there would be no change in the COVER
nor's attitude and it would be the Stey-
ems bill or nothing He said that the
Stevens bill took away the rights of the
people to assemble, and was destructive
of a representative form of government.
Mayor Rose took up the charge that
he maintained a wide open policy III Mil
waukee.
Have you ever read the history Of the
constitutional convention which adopted
the constitution of the United States" he
asked. ''the Magma Charta, which has
commanded and received the admiration
of all the nations of this EARTH and which
was made SO perfectly from its beginning
that il has answered the purposes Of a
century with but few amendments and
that was considered for days, aye
considered for weeks in constant de-
bate and discussion? Why, the whole
frame of the republican form of govern
ment is built around the central idea that
the power shall reside in the people, SOW
ereignty shall be theirs. The people shall
be supreme.
How shall the people consider these
questions of public government unless they
have an opportunity to come together,
unless they have a right TO assemble, a
right that is guaranteed to them not only
by the constitution of our state, but by
the constitution of the United States
Mayor Rose paid tribute to the old sol
ders and prefaced it by saying:
Everywhere we go | see in the lapels
of the blue coats the badge of honor, the
G.. A. r. button. At Mansion last Thurs
day night there was paid to me the high

when Judge Barney, a member of the
