We publish this week the amend
ments to the constitution to be voted
upon in November, also the statutes
before the people under the referen'
dunn. They are important and
should be read by every voter who
wants to vote intelligently upon
these questions. The amendment In
relation to increasing the salary OF
the attorney general is a fair and just
proposition. He is entitled to as
much salary as any of the other state
officers, and that Is the purpose OF
the amendment. Vote yes. The In
crease Is fair and just.

Republican Rally.

Hon. Il. w. Martin addressed a fair
sized audience Ia the Court oom
Tuesday evening, and most OF those
present were voters who paid close
attention. 10 the speaker who was III
excellent voice.
He discussed national issues for a
time and then e%loquently unfolded
the republican banner showing the
glorious record of the party for forty
years. He told his hearers what the
party had done for the people, begin
ming with the magnificent record OF
u great war president, Abraham
Lincoln, and closed with the match
less record OF Theodore Roosevelt
He told what the democratic tariff
did for the country under Cleveland
and every man in the Court room
could remember that period OF COM
mercial stagnation and low prices for
everything raised on the farm and
the misery and suffering Of the poor.
He told Of the return of prosperity
under Mckinley and Roosevelt and
then asked his hearers II they were
willing to throw away their prosperi-
ty for the untrIed faliacies OF a man
who wants to be president through
the aid of a solid south, whose doc
trine of free trade and tariff for rev.
enue brought the country to the verge
OF commercial ruin under Cleveland
when people In Lincoln county actu-
ally burned corn. No man wants to
60 back to those times said Mr.. Mar
tin, and yet the election of Bryan
might bring us face to face with
those conditions again. This refer
ence to the ruinous policy of the last
democratic administration produced
marked effect upon the audience, be-
cause nearly all of them had a VIVID
recollection Of these hard times.
Mr. Martin took up the guarantee
or insurance Of deposits and proved
that it was a natural and an impor-
tant question, and said that the re-
publican platform of this state de-
manded consideration of the question.
He said everything vas insured and
protection guaranteed against loss by
fire, tornado, robbers and what not,
and the question Of insuring bank de-
p~ositors against loss must come. 1t Is
the logical solution of the question
and the people demand such protec-
tion, and a republican legislature at
Pierre next winter will solve the uueS-
ton.
Mr.. Martin met with a hearty
greeting at the close Of the meeting.
County Chairman A. J. Kuhns was
In charge of the meeting, and on the
platform with the speaker we're the

there was no help for the unfortu-
pate boy. He was buried under the
heavy machine and was almost in

fight for his life. Mr.. and Mrs.
Coombs were visiting at the home of

get him out Of the creek. The funer-
al took place from the family home
Tuesday and the body was buried in
the Beloit cemetery.
