the second to the state Democratic

grocers Mr. Bryan dWelt on mOnop-

that merchandising was the last

be a monopoly, because, he said, the
moment such monopoly was estab-

The decision to use the capital
grounds was arrived at because of
their great convenience to the large
number of people who are expected to
be present. The Bryan home is four
miles from Lincoln and it was mani

wholly inadequate.

DAKOTA VOTERS TO DECIDE.
Many Important Questions Will Be
Submitted to Voters

Sioux Falls, S d., July 27-Speciaf
to The News: At the general cleo
ton in November the voters Of South
Dakota, besides having the privilege
of voting for state, congressional,
county and legislative candidates,
also will be called upon to vote for
two amendments to the state consti-
tuition and four changes in the pres
cnt laws.
One of the changes in the constitu-
ton which is proposed is the raising
of the salary of the attorney general
from $1,000 to $500 per year which
will place that official on an equality
so far as salary is concerned with
the average state official. Four years
ago the voters voted down the propo-
siton, but it is believed it will carry
this year
The other proposed amendment in
the constitution provides for a radical
change in the revenue laws of the
state. 1t proposes to cut off the limi-
tations of levy of state taxes which
cannot exceed four mills for general
purposes and two mills for bonded
debt. If the new amendment is
adopted the only limit will be what
the state assessment board may
deem necessary. 1t also radically
changes the present constitutional
provision.
Another question to come before
the voters in November will be the
county option law, which promises to
become one of the chief issues OF
the campaign which will soon open.
Already the liquor interests and tenn
perapce people of the state, who favor
the measure being enacted into law,
are actiyeyat work making supporters
for or against the proposed law.
The adoption or rejection of the
proposed new divorce law. raising the
period of residence from six month to
one year and making other changes in
the manner of granting divorces in
South Dakota, will also come before
| the voters at the election in Novem-
Der What is known as the Sunday
closing law also will be voted on in
November. This is a law to prevent
Sunday theaters, Sunday ball games
or any other amusements on the
Sabbath.
A law pertaining to the shooting OF
quail also will be submitted TO the
voters for adoption or rejection.

delicatey poised and therefore more

his eyes wide open, the pupils being
much dilated. He Is dreame. able to

often the same ear is deaf to loud

are said to he pleasant scents to the
somnambulist, and many cannot tell
wine from water, as the sense of taste
becomes perverted or entirely suspend

their sleep, while others do it spasmod-
