Nagel of Missouri, e. e. Hart of Iowa

viii Name Permanent Chairman.
At the conference at Charles p.
Taft's house it will probably be deter
mined definitely who is to be the ma
tional chairman in the campaign. 1t
was evident from the discussion among
the members of the subcommittee
that they are nearly equally divided
On the question.
Both Have Many Friends.
Both Frank H. Hitchcock, who man.
aged Taft's preliminary campaign
from Washington, and Arthur |.
Vorys, the Ohio manager, have
staunch adherents, but sentiment has
developed today in favor of some man
who has not been directly connected
with the preliminary campaign.
viii Defer to Candidate.
1t Is pretty certain, however. that
the committee will accept the judg-
ment of Mr.. Taft. If he chooses to
announce a personal choice. 1t is ex-
pected that he will express such
choice, although he has not yet given
any public intimation as to whom the
choice will fall.

nam of Boston, representing a wool
firm of that city: "Mr. Putnam re-
ports that he has bought one 100, 900.
pound Wyoming clip for 12h cents per

LAST SOCIETY MEETING

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-10-28

A bad back turns every twenty four hours into one dull round of pain and misery-you are lame in the morning, nagged all day by a dull, throbbing backache, can't rest in the evening or sleep we'll at night. It hurts to bend over, straighten up, get up from chair, or lift even a light weight. Any sudden twist. turn or awkward movement sends a tearing twinge of pain through the weak spot.
 Backache is really kldney-ache. The kidneys are in the small of the back, and any pain there is enough cause to suspect your kidneys. If the urine is discolored, contains sandy sediment, or passes too fre- quently, then you have double proof.
 Keep the kidneys we'll and the kidneys will keep you well. Well kidneys filter the blood and keep it pure. Diseased kidneys only partly purify the blood. Neglect weak kidneys and you invite uric acid poisoning, gravel, stone in the kid ney, rheumatism, heart trouble, dia- betes, Bright's disease, and a long list of other serious disorders now recognized as having their cause in kidney weakness.

TEN MORE ARRESTS MADE

Ted Burton In Describing Plans For
 Death Of Attorneys Says Lawyers
 Were Lursd to the Vicinity Of Reel
 foot Lake In the Belief They Were to
 Talk Over Land Deal With Promi.
 nsnt Citizen Now In Custody at
 Headquarters of Troops.
 Tiptonville, Tenn, Oct. 2S.--Ted Bur ton, self confessed Night Rider, told a remarkable story of Night Rider dep- relations near Reelfoot lake, confess. ing to the part he played in the out rages which reached culmination in the putting to death of Captain Quin- ten Rankin.
 Of the persons, he declares, who had a part in the killing of Captain Rankin more than half are now in custody at Camp Memo, the military base near Samburg. The confession was made to Sheriff Haines, Judge Harris, owner of large tract of land in the Reelfoot lake region, who has suffered much at the hands of the raiders, and Mayor Cleveland Donelson of Tiptonville.
 While Burton denies that he was present when Captain Rankin was put to death, he admits that 1t 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. According to Burton's confession, Tom and Garrett Johnson, under arrest, and William Watson, un- der bond in connection with another raid, were the leaders of the band.
 Burton declares that the first part he played as member of the Night Rider band was when he aided in the burn ing of a fish wharf at Samburg. Sev- eral weeks later he was one of several that crossed the county line from the Reelfoot lake region into the adjoining county of Lake and whipped Justice of the Peace Winn, aE aged man.
 Coming to the killing of Captain Rankin, Burton 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 solicitation Rankin and Judge R. z. Taylor, associates :a the West Tennessee company, owners of the land on which the lake is situated, came to the lake. It was stated that
