assured2 What vessels have you in
Boston or along the coast3"
The message to the navy department
asked what vessels We're available to go
in searcn Of Wellman
A reply was sent by the revenue cut
cI service stating that the revenue cut
ter Gresham at Boston, the revenue cut
ter Aeushnet at Nantucket, and the
derelict destroyer Seneca, at Tompkins-
vile, Y. y, could be sent in quest of
the missing balloonists.
Rear Admiral Nicholson, acting secre-
tary Of the navy, was preparing to re-
ply when he was informed that Well
man had been rescued. He then tele-
graphed to the president that the cruis-
ers North Carolina and Prairie at New
York, and the Birmingham at York

Army and naval officials were sur
prised to learn tnat the America" had
gone so far out Of her course and regard
ed it as a remarkable circumstance that
her passengers had been picked up.
They declare the fight is wonderful,
even though Wellman did not realize
lis ambition to land on European shores.
Gen. James Allen, chief OF the signal
corps of the United States army, ex-
pressed grave fears for the safety Of
the balloonists short time before news
Of the rescue came. He said that in
recent talk with Wellman. the latter
had Indicated that he placed little con-
fdenee in the eollapsible lifeboat car
ried by the balloon and did not think
much Of the chances Of his crew if it
became necessary to descend at sea.

John Parker Injured Today
in River Bed Excavation
RIB PUNCTURED ONE LUNG
Several More Ribs Were Broken, as Well
as One Collar -bone-He Stood Too
Near a Stone Being Lowered
by Derrick.

John Parker, a middled-aged man re-
siding on Merchant street, was seriously
Injured this morning while employed at
the riyerbe excavation on Prospect
street. With a number of other labor
ers, Parker was engaged in loading one
of the dump-wagons. At the approach
OF large stone which was being re-
moved with the aid of the derrick, the
workmen retired to a place of safety
The injured man, however. stood some
distance nearer the wagon tnan his COM
rades, and when the stone from the
derrick was dropped, a fragment struck
Parker, throwing him with no slight force
against the nearby wagon. He was at
once picked up by the other laborers,
and on the arrival of Hooker's ann
bulanee, was hurried to the City hos
pital.
A careful examination revealed several
broken ribs on the left side, a fractured
collar-bone, and severe wounds about
the scalp. Later it was found that one
OF the. ribs, when fractured, had pune
tured the left lung, leaving the man in
a precarious condition. Although con
scious from the moment of the acc-
dent, Parker is in considerable pain, and
he called constantly for his relatives,
during the first few nours after his ar
rival at the hospital. The physicians

that no blame for the accident can pos
sibly attach to anyone Strong hopes
Of the injured mans recovery are en-
tertained, although il will be many
weeks before he can resume work
This is the first serious accident on
the river bed job, although a great

although it is necessary to use heavy

WANTS HIS TABLE BACK
Does Burlington Tailor Whose Shop Was
Ra-Ied.

Burlington, Oct l9.-Whether or not
Joseph Legault, in whose tailor shop at
ia Church street poker game was dis
covered by the police early Sunday morn.
ing can recover table that was seized
by the police is a question that City
Judge Mower is considering.
Legault was fined yesterday $50 and
costs OF SS23. which he paid. The re-
spondent's chief concern appeared to be
about the table. il is claimed that the
table is one used by Legault in conduct
ing his tailor business.
According 20 the attorney for Legault,
the poker sessions have been going ON
in Legault's tailor shop since last spring.
1t is said that well-known men about
town have been in the habit of frequent
ing the place, although when the shop
was raided no arrests were made and no
names were furnished by the police.
That Legault had no hand in the poker
games and knew nothing Of the game
is the assertion made by his attorney.
His source OF revenue, if any. it is
was derived from allowing the
poker players the use of the room.

STORY OF RESCUE
TOLD BY CAPT. DOWN
There Was Considerable Difficulty In
Transferring From the Airship to
the Watership-Balloon Is
Now Sailing Off.

New York, Oct l9.-Wireless stations
near New York picked up last night
messages from the steamer Trent, which
yesterday morning rescued Walter Well
man and the crew Of the dirigible Amer
lea, after the failure of the expedition
to Europe. 1t was learned that Well
man had found it necessary to rid the
aiTship of the burden of most Of its
gasoline, retaining only enough to reach
land in the event the Trent had not
come to the rescue.
When the steamship needed the calls
of distress and drew near its aerial
sister, Wellmanu shouted his predica-
ment through a megaphoue and decided
that he would lower his life boat which
swung from the dirigble's bottom As
q precaution the Trent lowered her
lifeboats which stood by until tie trans.
fer was effected and Wellman and his
companions, even down to the fright
ened kitten, were safe on board the
liner, surrounded by the excited pas
sengers.
Capt Down in command OF the Trent,
sent the following ahead by wireless
we sighted the airship at 500 a.
n to-day. She signalled us by the
Morse code and the wireless played
wonderful part in requesting me to
stand by her till daylight We kept a
hnat close by her tin dawn broke when
Rne signalled that she could not launch
her lifeboat and asked me to keep close
IN order that line might be attached.
We made several futile attempts to at
tach line, then the America Wire
lessed that she would come down to the
water as soon as possible and drop her
boat i could stand by and pick the
boat up.
Meanwhile our lifeboats kept as close
to,the airship as possible and finally she
Eot all her men in her boat and cut
adrift at a height Of about five feet
from the water.
This proved successful. The America
Immediately rose in the air and shortly
afterward, at eight O'Clock | had Che
pleasure OF welcoming on board, Mr.
Wellman and his five lieutenants and a
cat which seemed little the worse for
It's air experience. | then picked up the
boat and proceeded.
"Wellman and his crew are honored
guests on board After wash and
brush up they ate a hearty breakfast.
The America was abandoned in lati-
tude 1918 north, long 6sl3 west. four
hundred and eight miles from Sandy
Hook and the craft is now having a
great time among the clouds The
America was making a speed Of about
eight knots when abandoned and when
released drifted to the westward Her
motor had been broken and Wellman
was out Of mis- course. All hands were
mighty glad of being rescued"

Hon. Minor Wallace

We are authorized to announce Hon. Minor Wallace, of COlum- bia county, as a candidate for re- election to congress from this district, and in doing so we feel that it is wholly unnecessary for us to dwell at length upon his fitness, worthiness and qualitica- tion for the high position.
 During his term in office he has become one of the most in- tluential representatives the south today has in the lower house of congress. He stands high among his associates, and has risen as few men ever rise in such short space of time. He is always found working for the interests of his state and dis trict, and no requests of a req sonable nature have..been made on him, but were carefully consids cred and, when expedient, his efforts in that behalf have been directed.
 His speeches are listened to 
 with rapture, and his views are always carefully considered by his fellow members. A man s term in congress should be measured by his usefulness, amp along these lines you should carefully consider his claims winch you vote in the March primary.

New Show Grounds

Fearing that the better class
Of the show-going public, to
which their show appeals gar
ticularly, would object to cross
ing the railroad tracks to the
usual grounds, the management
of the Burrows & Leslie Show
Company, which opens here
next Monday for a weeks en-
~gagement, have arranged to use
a new show ground at the cor
ner Of Main and Green streets,
as this location can be reached
by we'll lighted streets from
every direction.
While the Burrows & Leslie
Show is new to Tupelo, they are
well known throughout the states
of Tennessee, Mississippi, Ar
kansas and Louisiana, where
they have been playing for sew
eral years. The newspapers
where this show has appeared
speak very highly of both their
performances and of their band
and orchestra.
On account of the large num-
Der of shows visiting Tupelo this
fall, and to quickly get acquaint-
ed with the public, prices have
been reduced to fifteen and
twenty-five cents for this date
only.
