East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-10-15

Berlin, Germany, Oct. 15.-The
German balloon Busley, the last of the
contestants in the international bal
loon race to be accounted for, fell in
to the North set today, according to a
dispatcn from Dr. Diemyer and Hans
Heidenmann, plotting the balloon. He
was rescued by the steamer Prince
Wilhelm.
All the entries are now accounted
for. The Busley was disqualified, as
die terms specify the balloon must
light on land.
NiemVer said they passed over
Hamburg Wednesday morning. They
saw the North sea, but had is sacks
of ballast, and as they had lost little
gas they were sure they could cross
the sea and reach England. After
sailing 100 miles over the sea the
wind veered to the northward, threat
ening to carry them to the Arctic
ocean.
He feared he was doomed, but fl
nalt' sighted the Prince Wilhelm and
put out signal lights of distress. He
fell into the water near the boat.
Banshee Given Prize.
The international committee dis
covered this afternoon that the Hell
vetia. which had been declared the
winner had been towed a mile to
shore, after alighting in the North
sea near Molde. Norway. and was
therefore disqualified. Banshee was
given the prize.

GUS negro.
The victim of the shooting was
conscious up to the last, but refused
to discuss the quarrel with Brooke.
The murder of Jackson was the
most brutal ever recorded in the his
tory of Umatilla county. His assail-
ant was seized with frenzy of fiend-
ish mania-a blind lust to kill.
jackson Would Not Work.
Trouble had been brooding be-
tween the two men for a long time
because Jackson wouldn't work, and
had to be supported by the other ne
groes. Matters were brought to a
crisis when Harry England offered
the wounded man a job which he re-
fused. Brooke, who had been work.
ing steadily resented Jackson's
"sponging". In the quarrel that fol-
lowed he called him "a no-account
niger" The men came to blows.
Brooke knocked Jackson down.
Pulling his gun from his pocket and
seizing Jackson's he opened fire. One
OF them, a 44-caliber Smith & Wes-
son, missed fire when snapped. From
the other, Jackson's own gun, the
frenzied negro poured five shots into
the body of Jackson as he lay on
the ground. Four of them took ef-
feet in the body and arm. The fifth
cut off the middle finger of his right
hand which Jackson had thrown up
to shield his head.

Then Brooke, having emptied his
guns, jumped upon his PROSTATE VIC
tim and beat him over the head with
the butts of both guns, pounding it

into a hamburg steak, and almost
severing an ear from the head.

he was taken than Brooks broke from

Sheriff Newport and R. f. Allen the

Brooke left his gun in the old tent

Never in the history OF politics has
there greater boss been known than
William jennings Bryan who has alb
solpte control of the democratic party.
The national convention failed TO
make move without first waiting his
dictafioD. His word was law and no
one dared to contrary him without
bringing down upon him the anathena
of the great Western boss. This was
proved in the case of Colonel Guffey
who thought Mr. Bryan was not the
logical candidate for the democracy
this year. and ais his reward for the
active part he took in trying to de-
feat Mr.. Bryan for the nomination the
boss had him unseated in the conven.

1t is an easy thing for a speaker when
addressing an audience which is In
accord with him to make assertions
which -otnd well but which mean
nothing. Hrs recital Of the peoples
grievances against the republican
party is the old story which demo
cracy has told for 10 these many years
and in spite Of such declarations the
country Is constantly growing richer
while the democratic party is using
its best endeavors TO retard business

In speaking OF the tariff Mr.. Bell de.
clares that republican reision and dem
ocratic revision are two different
things. In this he Is undoubtedly cor
rect. But he failed TO show wherein
this revision is materially different. II
he had taken the time to show just
what happened under Mr.. Cleveland S
administration when the democratic
party undertook TO revise the tariff
his audience would have been able to
appreciate his statement that there is
a difference in the effects of the re-
ision OF tire tariff when revised by the
democratic party. II is safe TO eaw
that the majority of that splendid aud

would not like to witness he repeti-

revision of the tariff under democratic
rule. Hence. every business man
knows how times improved when the
