ADMITS HE Committed CRIME
Elmer Dempster. Young Negro. Con-
fesses to the Murder of Mrs. Pearce
and Children-Eforts to Lynch the
Prisoner Frustrated by Officers.

Cannonsburg, Pa, July 30.-Elmer
Dempster, a 19 year old negro who had
been arrested for the murder of Mrs,
Samuel Pearce, and two children, and
here last evening, was taken to the
Washington county Jail, at Washing,
ton, Pa, leaving here on a trolley car
at 8 O'Clock this morning Dempster
was the last person e about the
house before the tragedy. He was a
helper on the Pearce farm and after
the departure of Samuel Pearce with
his sister, Miss Fannie Pearce, for the
Cannonsburg railroad station, Demp-
ster is said to have been at the scene
Of the tragedy looking after the stock.
He was arrested and put through a
course of sweating which lasted until
daylight, when it is claimed he made
a complete confession.
The only things missing from the
Pearce home are s12 and a few cents
and the revolver with which Mrs
Pearce and her two children were
murdered.
According to the story told in his
confession, Dempster attempted an as
sault on the four year old daughter
after the departure Of Mr.. Pearce, but
was frustrated by the mother Of the
girl who ven to the bureau to get a
revolver to shoot him. The negro
says he secured the gun first and after
killing the mother and shooting the
children set fire to the house to hide
the crime.
Feeling against Dempster is running
high.
Washington, Pa, July 3O.-Dempster
was safely lodged in Jail here at nine
O'Clock. Two attempts were made t.
take the negro from the officers.
Shortly after leaving Cannonsburg
about twenty men boarded the cal
and with shouts of lynch him., "kill
him." dragged the prisoner and officers
from the the car. A fierce struggle fol-
lowed, but the officers finally drove the
mob off at the point of their revolvers.
Nearly 800 people gathered at the court
house here but the crowd was eluded
by taking the prisoner through the
basement to the jail.
Dempster made several confessions
during the day and late tonight made
a clean breast of the C~annonsburg
tragedy admitting that he killed Mrs.
Pearce n the children. II the sup
confession he cleared up
another murder mystery which has led
to the arrest of two other negroes.
These men were arrested by the Wash
ingtOn county officers tonight. The
names of the men are Patterson and
Bucher, n they are charged with the
murder of John Koboda, a wealthy for
eigned who was found dead in a clump
of bushes alC-,S the Watash railroad
tracks in Independence township on

Most Wilmington people work every
day in some strained, unnatural posi-
tion-bending constantly over a desk
riding on jolting wagons or cars
doing laborious homework; lifting,
reaching or pulling, or trying the back
in a hundred and one other ways. All
these strains tend to wear, weaken and
injure the kidneys until they fail be-

sons from the blood. Doan's Kidney
Pills cure sick kidneys, put new

cures prove it.
r. F. Rowan, clerk with l.. w.
Castle street, between Sixth and
Seventh says: Il strained myself lift
ing a heavy box, and suffered great
pain across my back for a long time.
I used plasters and liniments, but they
did me no good. I could hardly stand
up straight, my back was so weak.
Seeing DOan's Kidney Pills advertised
in our newspapers I went to Bellamy's
drug store and got a box. I felt better
the neXt day and continued using them
according to directions and my back

Reform III Dem 5erseY


blotting out of the racetracks, the
abolition of gerrymanders, the elimi-
nation of political partisanship from
the state boards and other radical
and highly creditable reforms. Who
helped to accomplish all this? The
reformers; the republicans and the
democrats who Joined hand-to-hand
to overthrow political iniquity at
Trenton. 'Fhe fact that prosperity fol-
lowed the reform administration of
state affairs shows that the people
were right in demanding reform and
that nearly 10000. of them were war
ranted in breaking party ties and af-
filiations in order to secure it.
Now, why, under such circum-
stances, should the republican party
in New Jersey fear or hate reform :?
Simply because@ that party is not
keeping its pledges. In 1895 the re-
publican platform pledged the party
ito the abolition of every act inimical
to the interests of the people," and
this certainly carried with it, by nee
essary implication, promise never
to put upon the statute books any
law adverse to the popular interests.
Another pledge was ''to the purifi-
cation of every department of the
state government, and to "still fur
ther legislation for the general good
and to an administration of the af-
fairs of the state which shall have for
its sole object the welfare and pros
perity of the whole people,"
All these were fair promises, the
promises of reformers, and while
they We're kept there was no room for
new ideas and reform movements.
But if the republican party bosses
leaders and workers are not as much
influenced today by railroad, public
service and insurance corporations as

REPUBLICANS AND REFoRAlERs.

(From the Newark Evening News,)
After reading carefully the state
ment prepared by Governor Stokes
and Chairman Briggs, and issued by
the republican state committee, many
an intelligent citizen will wonder
what good, sound reasons the regu-
lar republicans can give for their an
tipathy against reformers. The re-
publican state platform of 1892
the statement says, ''recited the gross
evils that had grown up in the state
under democratic administration and
pledged the party to a thorough re-
form. Mark the words. The re-
! publicans were then "reformers," ev-
cry one of them, but had there been
no others they would have failed
In 1889 Leon Albeit (dem.) was
elected governor by 1928 plurality
over General Grubb (rep.). In 1892
George 7. Werts (dem.) was elected
by 1925 over John Kean (rep), In
1895 John w. Griggs was elected by
26,900 plurality over Alexander 7.
McGill, the latter one of the ablest
and best men the democratic party
ever put in nomination. Taking the
Albeit plurality as a basis of calcula-
tion, there must have been no less
than 3S,153 "reformers" to vote
with the republican party in 1894,
carry it into power and give it charge
of the state administration, from
which it had been excluded for TWEEN
ty-seven years. In those halcyon
days any man in New Jersey who had
been a democrat and had become
republican was regarded as most
worthy and exemplary citizen: The
opinions of some have changed since
then.

TALK 1T OVER"

Becansc Col. Fordyce has given up
his work and is deyOting his time to
wrest the government of this county
from corrupt ring and restore il
into the hands of the people, some
men have the temerity to say he is
fighting that his own personal vanity
may be gratiiied.
Such a thing appears ridiculous af-
ter moments thought.
Here is young man who was cleo
ted by the people to serve them at
Trenton. While in the legislature
Theodore Strong, a man who admits
that he is political boss, went to
him and insisted that he vote as the
boss told him and against the will of
the people.
Mr.. Fordyce refused and he was
told he would regret it. From that
day he has been Il marked man by the
''ring." Why?
SIMPLY BECAUSE HE TRIED TO
% HIS DUTY TO THE PEOPLE
AND IGNORED THE BOSS.
~ This young man wants honest gov
ernment. He served two terms at
Trenton and learned the condition of
affairs.
HE SAW THE PEOPLE WE'RE
NOT GETTING HONEST GOVERN
MENT.
He finds the sentiment among the
best people of his county is for clean
politics, but secs them held down by
political ''ring." He is told by his
friends that a man of his experience
is needed to lead the way.
Sacrificing his own profession, he
enters into the fight to free the pco-
pie from political slavery.
1T IS UP TO THE PEOPLE NOW.
If they want clean government
they will have the opportunity to get
it by going to the primaries Septem-
Der 20 and voting for Fordyce dele
gates.
IL the people fail to take advan-
tage OF the opportunity, it will be
their own loss and they will have no
one but themselves to blame if Dory
Strong and his ring continue TO sell
them out TO the corporations.

the democratic party was controlled
in 1892 by the coal combine and race
track, then the most acute observers
are sadly mistaken. There is as
much "back stairs" legislation now
as there was then, or John w, Grlggs
would not have arraigned 1t so aptly
and so bitterly.
That reform is needed now is prov
ed beyond controversy by the fact
that the reform idea and the Colby
movement have become powerful fac
tors in every county in this state. The
people were not fools in 1898; they
were not fools in Essex in 1905; they
are not fools now. They knew they
needed reform thirteen years ago,
they know they need it now, and 1t is
to be noted that now, as then, the
reform idea began in the republican
party. The regulars" ought not to
dread reform, but they do, and for
the reason that they are breaking
what pledges they dare to break and
keeping only those that public indiS-
nation compels them to keep.
