PARIS, Oct. 31.-Aviators here
were greatly excited today by news
of the death of the Russian airman.
Popoff, shot yesterday while on an
aerial reconnaissance for tho Bulgar.
ians over Adrainople.
Not only was Popoff the first avia-
tor killed in actual warfare. but 1t
has now been demonstrated, 1t was
pointed out, that flying machine is
not as safe from shots from below as
had been imagined The theory hither-
to has been that an airman, flying
high and swiftly, practically could not
be hit.
Another theory, which has been up
set was that massed firing by large
number of riflemen would be effective,
if anything could be, against a hostile
flying machine. The Turks tried this,
it was reported. against Popoff, failed
to hit him, and then brought him
down with shrapnel.

OFFICIAL BALLOT IS /
TREE FEET LONG.
Ballot for Election on Next Tuesday
is Being Prepared by
County Auditor
Meyer.
FIVE PARTY TICKETS
Nearly One Hundred and Fifty Names
Are on the Ballot From Which
Only Thlrty-sk Arc
Chosen.

The official ballot to be used In the
election on November 5th is being
printed under the direction of Auditor
Meyer at Fort Madison The ballot
will be probably the largest and will
contain more names than any one
ever used.
There will be five parties this year
instead Of the six on the ballot IN
1908 but they will have more complete
tickets. The ballot will be nearly
three feet In length and sixteen inches
wide and will contain the names OF
lat candidates Of which 38 is the lar
gest number that can be voted upon.
The republican party will occupy the
extreme left column, followed respec-
lively by the democratic, prohibition.
socialist and progressive. The names
Of the party candidates for president
and vice president are placed at the
top OF each column although only the
electors are voted for. In Illinois un-
der the progressive party there is
placed in brackets the words "for
social Justice" but there is no simi
lar designation on the Lee county Of
fetal ballot.
The republican and democratic par
ties are the only ones having county
tickets in the field and consequently
they have the largest number of can
didates. The republican party pro
poses thirty-six names, the democra
tic the same, the prohibition twenty
the socialist twenty-seven and the
progressive twenty-four.
| In many states there is an addition
al party, the socialist-labor, but nj
such one is placed upon the Lee coun
ty ballot. Every precaution will b,
taken by the authorities to proven
4 the official ballots from reaching tn
hands OF any people who might in
properly use them.

ly for his ancestors he adopted
the ring nom de plume. 1t saved
some of his ancestors, who were
of the staunch Irish-American
type, a lot of disgrace.
Hugo Kelley discovered that
Ugo Michel would never go in
the ring, so he adopted the name
of Hugo Kelley. Freddy Welsh
didn't like to mix his folks up in
the prize ring sport, SO he chang
ed from Fred Hall Thomas.
Tommy Burns started out with
Noah, Brusso, but. he found out
that the sport writers liked an
Irish name, better, so he stuck to
it and today in private life is
known by his ring name, al
though when he goes back to his
French Canadian home he is al
ways called Brusso.
Think of Jim Flynn fighting
under the name of Andrew
Haynes, yet that was what he
was up against until he hit upon
the Irish classification. And
what publicity could Tony Ross,
the big heavyweight, get if he
had to keep the name he inherit
ed from his father, Antonio Ros

Irish names, as a rule, are best
fitted to the prize ring as are
Irish fighters, and there never
