Ralph Martin, the man who was
charged with shooting Martin Sweeney
at South Ripley on last Thursday, was
discharged by County Judge w. H.

was discharged three times, the third
shot taking refuge in Sweeney's back.
Martin went to Dover and gave him
self up and was brought here. Sweeney
went to his home in Augusta. His

7,3O O'cIOck-Was One Of the
Most Prominent Women
IN This Section Of
the State.

Mrs. c. c. Degman died at her home
near Springdale last evening at 1880
o'clock after a lingering illness OF
about six weeks.
Mrs. Anna M. Doyle Degman was
born in Fleming county September 20,
1s4s. She was married to c. c. Deg
man February 14th, 1868, and since
that time lived in the old Degman
home near Sprlngdale. Seven children
we're born to them, five of whom sur
vlve, Clarence G. of Cincinnati; Mrs
p. f. Martin of Edmonton, Canada;
Mrs. G. w. Hook of Springdale; Julius
s. of White Salmon, Washington, and
John T. of Kingman, Ariz.
Mrs. Degman was a member of the
Third Street NJ. f. Church of Mays
vile and had been a member of this
church since her marriage. She was
consistent Christian and was very
prominent in church work. She es-
tablished the Methodist Sunday School
at Springdale. She was a member of
the Maysville w. c. T. U. and of the

the greatest workers in the Old Set
tiers Reunions and the G. A. r. meet
ings. She was secretary of the six.
teenth and Tenth Kentucky Regimen
tai Associations.
The Ledger loses one of its best
friends by the death of Mrs. Degman.
For over forty years she has written
for the Daily Republican and the Daily
Public Ledger. Her husband was one
of the founders of the first Republican
newspaper in this county and she al
ways showed a great interest in its
welfare.
Mrs. Degman had been patient suf-
ferer for about six weeks but fire.
quently expressed her complete resig-
nation to Gods will "The peace
which passeth all undertaking I'M
pressed everyone coming in her pres
ence.
Her work in Gods service, with her
pen, words and actions have been in
calculable, so, in direct opposition to
the pessimistic Immortal Bard we con
fldently aver that that "the good this
woman has done will live after her"
and the good will not be inferred
with her bones"
The funeral will be held tomorrow
morning from the Bethany Church
The funeral services will be conduct
ed by Rev. ]. NJ. Literal of the Third

LEXINGTON FANS
To Meet Again Tonight-Team VIII
Probably stay In Blue Grass City
Plans Made For Raising
Funds.

Lexington, KY, July 1i-At a meet
ing held in the office of Magistrate
Graves in the courthouse at IL o'clock
yesterday morning, 1t was decided by
the stockholders of the Lexington
Baseball Club and business men pres
ent to have another meeting at 1880
O'Clock Tuesday night, to which the
directors of the Lexington Board OF
Commerce will be invited. A commit
tee composed of Howard Guyn, Will
liam e. Stage and David B. honaker
called on Secretary II. l.. Burch fol-
lowing the meeting and Mr.. Burch
promised to notify the directors Of
the Tuesday night session.
Several plans for raising the money
necessary to keep the club in Lexing-
ton were discussed yesterday morning
The Board of Commerce will be asked
to help, and 1t is thought that they
will do all they can in a financial way
for the club Committee will proba-
bly, be appointed tonight to visit every
business man in Lexington and get
subscriptions. About one-third OF the
amount needed to finance the club has
already been promised by several pub
lie spirited men, among them being
President Brewer, Hogan Yancey, Will
liam E. Stagg, James T. Looney and
David Honaker, who promised 800
apiece.
A tag day has also been suggested,
and it is planned for the players to
sell the tags on the street for any
amount the purchaser feels able to
pay. Plans for playing a game at
Cynthiana on July 10 were also dis
cussed, and it is sure bet that the
team would draw good crowd in that
city, as Rorer and Mcclellan, two Of
the stars of the team, hail from that
city. Billy White, the Colt third-sack-
err, promised to make the trip to that
city and make arrangements for the
game. The Colt players are very anx-
ious to stay in this city instead of 60

have been in Lexington long enough
to feel that it is their home.

which to make public the fact that it
was this same w. L. Harding, who,
when member of the lower house
OF our state legislature in the spring
Of 1909 introduced what is commonly
known as the Harding bil!," but Of
ficially as house file No. 1856 of the
33rd general assembly, which, had it
passed, would have put out of busi-
ness every Negro secret society in
Iowa using the same name or sim
liar name or emblem with any such
| society Of white people and would
have included all Negro Masons,
chapters of o. E. S., Odd Fellows,

only through the timely action of Mr..
R. H. Hyde, a prominent Elk; Rev.
B. s. Erwin, prominent Odd Fellow,
and Rev. A. Ford, Attorney s. Joe
Brown, and other prominent men,
bers Of the Masonic fraternity that
this pernicious bill was killed in the
committee room.
This is fact that is noted by Hon.
w. H. Milligan, then grand master
Of Iowa Negro Masons, in his annual
address to the Masonic grand lodge
at Keokuk in July, 1909, which ad-
dress will be found on page Is of the
proceedings Of 1909 of the Most Wor-
shipful United Grand Lodge of Iowa,

Hence, while I have no malice
against Lieutenant Governor Hard
ing, but I believe that a candidate
is justified in asking for the votes of
the people upon the record Of his
past conduct, rather than upon
promises for the future.
For tho above reasons I would rec
ommend Senator Joseph H. Allen as
the most available candidate for the
nomination for governor.
In order that the Negroes Of the
state may determine on the basis Of
record, past service and merit Of the
candidate which they should choose
to support for governor, ask that you
give space to the foregoing plain
statement of facts, that the Negro
voters of Iowa may become better
acquainted with Mr.. Harding's legis-
lative record with reference to better
enable them to decide whether they
want to support him for the office
of chief executive of the state.

pursuit of happiness" Yours truly.

SUFFRAGE ELECTION NOTES.
A great opportunity contronts the
voters of Iowa on June 5. On that
day all the women of Iowa are look
ing to all the men of Iowa to vote
Eyes" on the suffrage amendment SO
that their wives, mothers and sisters
may have q voice in the making Of
those laws that govern the home
and the environment of the growing
children.
When Moses was distracted with
doubt and fear God asked him,
''What is that in thy hand?" So
the mothers Of the land cry out, "Is
there sonse weapon near at hand for
me which I can seize to safeguard
all children, my own included? II
there a weapon for the hand Of
every mother? What but the ballot
can do these things which I would
do for the safeguarding Of my home
and family"
At the close of a great suffrage
meeting one sof the leaders in prayer
said, e pra sirs tsss Il + .t7is
praying woman and I ask this gift
from Thee. I read, why criest
thou unto me? Speak to the chill
dren Of Israel that they 60 for

that we must move ahead ourselves
! and thus get the BALLOT; that we
must work for what we need instead
Of lazily praying to have blessings
dropped into our effortless hands?.

tion. We mothers must work and
vote as well as pray" n
Now for fifty years the united
womanhood Of Iowa has been work,

lot for all the women of Iowa, and
in the hands of the voters of Iowa is
placed the responsibility Of giving
the answer to this earnest appeal on

privileges of the government who
assist in bearing it's burdens-by no

Twelve states now enjoy equal
suffrage and in no state, not even in
Wyoming, where it has been tried
for forty seven years, has equal suf-
frage been pronounced failure. No
homes have been ruined, no children
have been neglected and no harmful
laws have been championed by the
women. The women have not sought
Office, rather have they given their
efforts to electing the best man for
the office. tf
