from the towns in the Rhine valley
announcing the passage of the airship. !

sonorous sound from the sky indicated |
that the craft was returning. Soon it |
appeared above the thronged streets |
of Constance. where the prince grace |
fully saluted in acknowledgment of /
the ovation from the cheering crowds |
below.

hight RIDER CONFEssEs
duplicates Forty Men In Tennessee
Outraues,


Tiptonville. Tenn, Oct 2S - Ted
Burton, self-confessed night rider, told
remarkable story of night rider
depredations near Reelfoot lake. con
Tossing TO the part he played in the
outrages, which reached a elimination
In the putting to death of Captain
Quinten Rankin. an attorney of Tren-
ton, Tenn, on the banks of the lake a
week ago, and duplicating men promi-
nent in this part Of the state.
or the persons who he declared had
taken a part in the killing Of Captain
Rankin. more than half are now in
custody at Camp Memo, the military
base near Samburg.
While Burton denies that he was
present when Captain Rankin was put
to death. he admits that it was through
information given by him that the
band congregated and took the attor-
ney while he was staying at the hotel
at Walnut Log
He declared that on the night before
the lynching he went to Walnut Log
and there met James F. Carpenter. an
attorney of Union City. at whose So
licitation Rankin and Judge R. q. Tay-
lor, owners OF the land on which the
lake Is situated, came to the lake II
was stated that the visit of the two
attorneys was to discuss a timber deal
with Carpenter. After this conversa-
ton, Burton says. he communicated
with the night rider leaders and told
of the intended visit OF the represen
tatives Of the land company.
On the following night he saw the
two attorneys at supper at the Walnut
Log hotel but he declares he left Wal
nut Log early in the night and went
out on the lake to fish. He says that
he was fishing when he heard the I
shots which ended the life of Captain
Rankin, but he did not return to the
shore for some time.
In his confession Burton gave the |
names of no fewer than forty alleged |
members of the night riders.

Temperance PeOple are Devided.

At a special meeting of the Women's
Ant-Licenses Federation held in Will
mingtOn recently, it developed that the
temperance exponents are not as one as
regards the selection of candidates on the
state ticket and as a result there was an
interesting session lasting until nearly
II o'clock.
The Rev. John NJ. Arters. district su-
perintendent of the Anti-SalOon League,
was present, and told of why Andrew G.
Gray, the Democratic nominee for AttOr-
ney-General, was preferred by the Pro-
hibit;onists to Frank II. Davis, the Re.
publican nominee, and this brought from
/ Isaac w. Bowers an address in which he
defended Mr. Davis and declared his fit
ness for the Office. Also Mr. Bowers
criticised some other tactics of the pei
sons responsible for the Prohibition ticket,
mainly because they placed their own
candidate on for Congress when, he de-
clared, that William H. Heald, the Re-
publican nominee was as good a PrOhibi-
ZIONIST as the regular candidate for Con-
gress Of the Prohibition party.
Mrs L. w. Emerson, and others gave
talks, and Mrs Emerson declared her be- |
lief that the temperance men were en-
dOrslng candidates not favorable to the !
temperance cause, and she caused laugh |
by saying she was suspicious of the Della
ware politician. She declared that the |
saloon men were flooding the two lower |
counties and were working with both |
parties
Mrs. Marks said the Federation should
not overlook the good that had been done
here in Delaware and elsewhere and she
referred to recent temperance victories.
Mr.. ATteTs referred to DR.. Roland G
Paynter, the Democratic nominee az an
gentleman, but he went on to
say that he had signed applications for
liquor licenses and could not show the
same record as Pennewili
Mr.. Arters ssed why the Republican
party had nominated the only Kent
county lawyer who campaigned against
no license last fall. He said he under
stond that Mr.. Davis had received com
pensation for his services, but he declared
that no man had a right to fight a moral
issue for price.
As to Mr.. Gray, Mr.. Arters said be was
rank to say that he was not the man he
would like 10 Ina endorsed but he said
hat Mr. Grav had stated that he never
lad liquor man for a client and had no
interest IN the liquor tratc He also re-
erred to his professional career and bis
tanding as member of the bar.
Mr.. Bowers denied that Mr. Davis had ;
for the liquor interests.
The meeting developed the fact that
he Temperance Party is divided as to its
pnion.

Track Walker Murdered and Robbed.

Track Walker Murdered and Robbed

Jersey & Seashore road, was robbed

Voters Assistants.

Mr.. Pennewill. the Republican
candidate for governor, who is vel
qualified for the position, and who
is meeting fierce opposition from
certain quarters simply because he
is not known as a railroad man,
is assailed vehemently in connec-
ton with the voters assistant bill.
It may be we'll to recall a few
facts about this law. The Austria
lian ballot law was passed by a
Democratic Legislature with the
hope that it would spoil their bal
lots, thus losing their votes. 1t
was to prevent the loss of Demo-
cratic votes that the Democrats
passed the voters assistant law of
1891. Finding that the voters as
sistant law did not work satisfac-
torily to the voters of the Demo
cratic party, the Democrats re-
pealed the voters assistant law in
the Legislature controlled by the
violent methods of the Democrats
before the Board of Canvass i'll
Kent county and in Sussex county.
The Republicans, at a subsequent
Legislature, passed the voters as
sistant law just as it was in 1891,
for the reason that the method of
voting was so much complicated
hat assistance was needed by
many men in casting their ballots.
Complaint has been made that
he voters assistants are instru-
nents of bribery. And yet, in the
,ame breath, it has been admitted
hat Governor Lea has appointed |
he best men he could find to fill |
hese positions. And he has done
% at the coming election.
Should the Republicans control |
he next Legislature, we believe
hey will give us a new form of vot-
ng, and we believe that Mr.. Pen
lewill, with others, will be heartily !
n favor of a simple method of vot-
ng. The republican party has
TODD for a free ballot and a fair
cunt in Delaware. Did the Dem
Gratis in the past stand for these
hings?
The present method of voting
nth a cumbersome ballot, to say
le least is a nuisance.
But the fact remains that under
1e present law assistance is needed,
his is shown by figures of the
ections in Wilmington. At the
III election of 1906 there were 800
ballots when there were
oters assistants. In the city cleo
on of the following year, when
lere were no voters assistants, '
200 ballots were thrown out as {

The board of elections purchased forty

FITzSIMM0RS WORK
 HERE IS ENDORSED

If there is one man in the league who has turned over a new leaf or who has been basely libelled all the time, 1t Is Umpire Fitzsimmons. Fitz has had. In the three games here, sev- eral very difficult decisions to make, but has come out with colors flying, and for wonder, the dckle fans have not gotten after him.
 A lot of people have been after him about the way he calls balls and strikes, but he has held on pretty well there, too, It takes a keen eye to fol- low one of Savidge's drops over and not be fooled into calling 1t a ball by seeing where it is caught. When good batters bite on them, with a better view of the ball than anyone else on the field, 1t is up to the public to shut up and let the umpire tell what 1t was he's getting paid for It and he might as well be allowed to earn hls money.
 After the game today Fltz leaves for New Orleans to work on just one game, ther he has been chosen by the President to officiate In Birmin ghan. which at the present time, Is no cinch. for a losing team always raises a kick on anything and when they have the slightest opportunity they want to make the umpire scape goat.
 The President has paid the good-na- tured indicator handler quite a compli- ment by placing him there just now
 Fitz Is not so worse. just keep your eye on him and you will see he is dog gone near right most of the time.

HARD LINES ON KY-YI,
 RAIN STOPPED GAME

Manuel Joseph, sometimes called xxi Yl." substitute mascot of the local ball team, sat yesterday evening in the grand stand and communed with the rain. Manuel would go to the park, t it was game day. even If he had been told by an arch angel that anoth- CT flood was on and St. Peter would be asking him impertinent questions before sunset.
 Manuel IS the little chap who picks up the bats for the home club and re- turns passed balls to the visiting catch CTS. If he had his way the ball season would last twelve months. and if pos sible, thirteen.
 Yesterday Manuel sat in the stand and observed the falling rain. He would look up at the clouds and try to Imagine what he would do to the weather If 1t was in his power. Every time a car came he would go to the gate and look to see. hoping against hope, that the team would come any way. If they really were coming. But the day wore on and no team showed up. and at last Manuel turned up his collar, sho ook his fist az the elements and vanished down a side street.

The True But Romantic Story
 Of Big Eds Broken Finger

short. Three yards between him and where the ball fell were three girls and around them several people, he could have jumped over or possibly gone around, for the ball went high but in gauging 1t as it fell, he knew there was danger of his hurting some one.
 It all happened in a moment and aft CT 1t Grim never could exactly tell the circumstances, but he saw that to run in meant to hurt some one and not to meant, in all probability someone to get hurt As the ball swooped down Grim saw that a girl, who did not see 1t, was going to get hit, punching his muscles he Jumped. cleared the group and made a stab at the ball.
 Catch it? No. Of course he didn't but 1t didn't hit the girl.
 If you ask Grim how he got a cer- tain knotty looking finger he carries about with him, and always will, he will probably tell you 1t was hurt catching a foul tip when he first began the game as a catcher. But a bright eyed little girl in Minneapolis who gets regular letters from Montgomery these days will tell you that certain big fellow got 1t brok en in Minneapo- lis four years ago on the Fourth of July.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1908-07-25

Did you ever hear the story of Grim finger and the girl? No? Grim won't tell 1t himself. but one of his friends will, and what's more, did.
 It was the second year Grim was with the Minneapolis team and the day was July (. Now the people in that part of the world think lot more of July than they do down this way, in fact Christmas would seem 6 fast day compared to Northern or Western Fourth.
 The big park was packed, damned, the people strung about 1t in big cir cle, hardly leaving room enough for the capture of Texas leaguer. Grim was on first, playing there, and play ing his usual game. which Is good, as all the world knows.
 As seldom happens op the Fourth, the game was close, and the eighth inning found the score one to nothing in favor of Minneapolis. Milwaukee who was playing them, had man on third and one on second with one man down; when up came a chap. not famed for long hits. but who got his bingle every once in so often.
 As luck2would have 1t he popped up one that went fair. just q score of yards behind first, Grim whirled about. made for it-end then stopped dead

While he. is up there he will make a survey of the material on hand with an eye to next season, for as everyone knows there are several of the Montgomery players who will not be here next year.
 Thomas, for instance--it's upstairs for his. A man who pitches the class of ball he let's loose won't stay in the smaller leagues long, and he is bound to so up.
