SHALL THE LIGHT PLANT BE SOLD?

Aneut the discussion of the investigation and prospective purchase of the municipal light plant by the Light, Heat and Power plant, permit the "writer to say, anyone well in touch with the Richmond citizenship, at the pains to feel the pulse of popular sentiment will find the very large majority something on this line: A proposition to investigate, specifying the conditions of that investigation, and proposing fo par all expenses, by a competing company, even were it composed entirely of Richmond citizens, comes in bad taste to a square deal in commercialism to say the least; a public sentiment following the numerous graft and trust disclosures, at once becomes distrustful of any such proposition from such a source, however sincere and well meant. Ity all means let us have the municipal plant thoroughly and impartially investigated; it should be done annually or at least bi-annually. but meanwhile our friends, the competing enemy, should keep their hands in their pockets and look complacently on, watching for an opportunity to say "I told you so." There should be a commission of disinterested citizens, unbiased toward either plant, who have power to employ experts for the purpose and make a thorough clean investigation of the municipal plant at least every

year, making a published report com-j

plete. There are plenty of honest candid unbiased business men in Richmond thoroughly competent to do this, and It is the writers humble opinion that, in as much as the municipal plant was Intended only to furnish the people "with clean light and power, and not to make money for the city. If It simply pays expenses and keeps up Its necessary repairs, no reasonable mind should expect more; and that there is enough patronage for a high class heat, light and power plant, to furnish service at good (not cut-rate, kill run:out prices,) to make another company a reasonable profit.

RULING IN MORGAN COUNTY.

Martinsville, Ind.. Dec. 'SX A new Tilling was made by Judge Williams, of the Morgan circuit court, Saturday in support of the Moore amendment to the Nicholson law when he held that a remonstrance filed for the same township while another remonstrance was in force was valid. The ruling was made in the applications of Lawrence Ruoff and Nelson II. Hemphill, of Jackson township. Both applied for liceuse to sell intoxicants at Morgantown. On June 1, 1905, a remonstrance covering Jackson township, in which Morgantown is situated, was filed and held sufficient by the hoard of commissioners. This remonstrance expired Juno 1, this year. On October 30, 1906, a second remonstrance was filed. Some of the persons instrumental in obtaining the first remonstrance were interested in the second.

Danville, III.. Dec. 2.'5. Real live dolls for Christmas presents is the latest in Danville. Some time ago a man conceived the idea of presenting his wife with an adopted child from the Children's heme here. He arranged for the adoption and then began, secretly, so his wife would not hear of It, to boost his idea anions some of his male friends in whose homes there is no childish prattle. The idea took and two more adoptions have been arranged for. As there were only seven babies in the home, this cut the number to tour. Realizing that more will come to them the manager of the home has offered the other children to responsible childless men for Christmas presents for their wives, and it is believed they will be adopted by Christmas day. The only expense invilved in the transfer is the payment of the court fees for the adoption proceedings.

WILLBE EXTINCT Counsel for Countess de Castellane, Talks.

ARE TO BE DEPLORED

New York, Dec. 2o Edniond Kelly, counsel for Countess de Castellane, in speaking at a meeting of the Students' Club of New York University last night, said: "The international marriage Js fated to extinction in the long run, be

cause, while not always formulated against the will of the flesh, they are invariably against the blood. No matter how admirably the contracting parties are suited, international matches are to be deplored. Races will not. mix; there lies the fault. The time will undoubtedly come when this fact will receive serious consideration and careful weighing when marriages of this nature are contemplated."

There is no room for doubt when so many people of good standing are anxious to tell their friends of the srreat good received from the use of Root Juice. Here in Richmond many have been cured or greatly benefitted of rheumatism, catarrh, indigestion, female weakness or some liver, kidney or stomach trouble, no wonder on1 friend is often heard advising anothei to try Root Juice. If you bloat and belch, if food lays heavily on the stomach and pains, if what you eat does not give you strength, if you have swimming of the head, if you are nervous and your entire system is run down, if you are restless at night and feel as tired in the morning as yodid when you went to bed, be governer by the experience of others and go to Luken's drug store, get a bottle of Root Juice and take it exactly according to directions. We predict that before you have used one bottle you will be advising your sick friends to get some of this wonderful medicine for Root Juice always proves all that is claimed for it.

Peking. Dec. 23.-Wu Tin Fang, who i has been reappointed to the post of; Chinese Minister to the United States in succession to Sir Tung Liang Cheng. , left Peking today on his way to Wash-; ington. He will sail Horn Shanghai

in January, taking with him a number of young Chinese who are going to study in the United States. In view of the present status between China and the United States the throne, it is understood has intrusted Wu Ting Fang with a message of unusual warmth to President Roosevelt. The indemnity proposal, and the speech delivered by Secretary Taft at Shanghai, have served to draw Chinese

attention to the United States and also

as a result of the efforts of the native iress. the position of the United States :n the matter of the far F.ast is better understood today in China than ever liefore. It is believed in some quarters that China will show her appreciation in a practical way by giving preference to American commerce. The government is anxious for information regarding the manner in which the United States will act in the matter of the reduction of the Boxer indemnity. Wu Tlng Fang hopes to reach Washington before Congress takes any action.

CHRISTMAS DINNER BY SKIN OF HIS FRIENDS

Legitimate "Graft" Helps Victim of an Explosion.

BURNS REFUSED TO HEAL.

The reason trAv" Golden Medical Discovery" cures these and many other affections, is clearly shown in a little book of extract from the standard medical works which is mailed frre to anv address by Dr. R. V. Iierce, f Buffalo. Y.", to all tending request for the same. To aid in healing old sores, or ulcers, apply Dr. Pierce's All-Healing Salve to them while taking the "Golden Medical Discovery" to puri fy and enrich the blood . Dr. Pierces All - Healing Salve is cleansing and pain relieving. It deetrovs the bad odors arising from sup

purating, or running, sores and puts them in the best possible condition for healing. The "All-Healing Salve " is a superior dressing for all open, running, or suppurating, Sores or Ulcers. For healing open wounds, cuts and scratches it is unsurpassed. If your medicine dealer does not have the "All-Healing Salve" in stock mail 50 cents in postage stamps to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., and you will receive it by return post. In treating all open sores, or wlcers, boils, carbuncles and other swellings, it is important that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery be taken persistently to purify the blood and thereby remove the cause of the trouble. It is in the blood that the great battle of health has to be fought. The ulcer and the sore are simply the scarlet flowers of disease, w ith roots running down into the blood. These roots must be eradicated or the disease will break out afresh. "Golden Medical Discovery" cleanses the blood of all foul and poisonous accumulations, pushes out the dead and waste matter, and thus purities the entire life current.

Disease in the flesh must die out when

it ia no longer fed by foul blood

"Golden Medical Discovery" effectively cures disease in the flesh by curing ita

cause in the blood.

Not less marvelous, in the unparalleled curea it is constantly making of

woman s many peculiar affections,

weaknesses and distressing derange ments, is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip

tlon, as is amply attested by thousands of unsolicited testimonials contributed by grateful patients who have been cured by it of catarrhal pelvic drains, painful periods, irregularities, prolapsus

and other displacements caused by weakness, ulceration of uterus and kindred affections, often after manj other advertised medicines and physicians had failed. Nursing mothers and over-burdened women in all stations of life, whose vigor and vitality may have been undermined and broken-down by overwork, exacting social duties, the too frequent bearing of children, or othrr causes, will find in Dr. Pierce's Favorit Prescription the most potent, invigorating, restorative strenpth-givcr ever de

vised for their special beneht. Cursing

mothers will tind it especially valuable

in sustaining their strength and promot

ing an ahundant nourishment lor tne

child. Kxpectant mothers too will find

it a priceless boon to prepare the sytem for baby's coining and rendering the ordeal comparatively painless. It can do no harm in any state, or condition of the female svMem.

Delicate, nervous, weak women, who

puffer from frequent headaches, back

ache, drawing-down distress low down in the abdomen, or from painful or irregular monthly periods, gnawing or distressed sensation in stomach, dizzy or faint spells, see imaginary specks or spota floating before eyes, have disagreeable pelvic catarrhal drain, prolapsus, anteversion or retroversion or other displacements of womanly organs, from weakness of parts, will, -whether they experience many or only a few of the above symptoms, find relief and a permanent cure by using faithfully, and fairly persistently, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Both the above mentioned medicines are wholly made up from the glyceric extracts of native, medicinal roots. The processes employed in their manufacture were original with Dr. Pierce, and they are carried on by skilled chemists and pharmacists with the aid of apparatus and appliances specially designed and built for this purpose. Both medicines are entirely free from alcohol and all other harmful, habit-

forming drugs. A full bet of their ingredients is printed on each bottlewrapper. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets care constipation.! Constipation is the cause of many diseases. Cure the cause and you cure the disease. Easy to take aa caodj.

New York, Dec. 2. Frank Waters

will be able to eat his Christmas din

ner at home, because thirty of his friends gave bits of their skin to help him. Waters was burned by a premature explosion of fireworks, July 4, and has been in a hospital in Jersey City ever since. For nearly five months the burns refused to heal, and the doctors finally decided that akingrafting was necessary. Waters was a member of the Holy Name Society of St. Lucy's Roman Catholic church, and the young men of the society were asked to come to Waters's assistance. Thirty were selected and from the arm of each was taken a bit of live skin which was applied to the wounds on Waters's body. It took five days to complete the operation which has proved entirely successful.
