! BEATTIE EVIDENCE Shot Gun Pressed Against His Wife's Face.
(National News Aaaoclatlon) RICHMOND. Va., Aug. 11. The last Sink In the circumstantial case against Henry Clay Beattie, jr., has been forged according to the police, by the examination of two physicians found to have professional knowledge of the nature of the wound which brought to Jber death the wife of the prisoner. These two physicians, called into the Beattie house, immediately after Beattie brought his dead wife home in i his automobile, examined the fatal wound In her face and found there was not a spot of gunpowder on the flesh, but that inside of the gaping wound there , were both gunpowder stains and other wadding from the cartridge. These two medical witnesses leave no room for doubt tha the shotgun which was used , in the murder was ipreased hard against the face of the wife and exploded. Had the weapon been leveled at a distance of a foot or more the face would have borne some trace of thswder. As-tt -was the wound was' found to be clean on the exterior -but loaded with powder grains and wadding inside. Detective Thomas J. Wren who has done the major part of the work on the case said today that these two physicians would establish the case Against young Beattie.

This Is My 41st Birthday
EARL BREWER. , Earl Brewer, who has been nominated by the Democrats for governor of i Mississippi and who will have the distinction of being the first man to be I chosen for that office without opposition, was born In a log cabin on a planItatloa in Carroll County. Mississippi, August 11, 1870. His parents were in very poor circumstances and bis early educational facilities were of the most
i meagre sort. Before he had scarcely
entered his teens he was obliged to
earn his own living and before he was
eighteen years old he had worked as a
, plantation hand and on the levee near
hie home and later as a cowboy and detective in Texas. At 20 he entered
the law school of the University of Mississippi, working spare time to pay his expenses. In 1892, after he had
graduated with high honors, he began
the practice ot law in the town of Water Valley: In 1S9C he was elected to the State senate and served four years
In 102 he was appointed district at
torney and removed to Clarksdale,
which city has since been his home. In It Mr. Brewer became a candidate for governor, and though defeated for
the nomination, the splendid race he ran . made him the logical candidate
this year and the nomination was. giv en, tin without opnoattlo
Don't Reject the BidsModify Them Everybody knows by this time what the proposed contract of the Richmond City Water Works is, and the Campfield proposal is to come up next Monday night at a public meeting. Both companies have put up bond for the performance of their proposals. Neither are satisfactory as they stand. The thing to do at first glance is to reject the bids, but perhaps there are other considerations. In the first place the Campfield proposal while in many respects somewhat crude and awkward may be susceptible to modifications which will render it serviceable. But the Important thing to recognize In this, is that if Mr. Campfield's bid, with Its bond posted la good faith is rejected, he will have no other recourse than to begin negotiations over again with the financial backers. The Palladium It may be remembered took the pains to query the firm of Faque, Tyng & Co. as to the authenticity of the financial responsibility of the Campfield proposal. They replied that they were backing Mr. Campfield. The bonding houses of east whence much of the money has come for the building of western public utilities are closely interlocked in their interests and through Campneld's arrangement he is only authorized to make this one bid. The bonds are posted for both companies and it is not likely that either one of them Is anxious for the forfeiture of their money. That clears the ground for this proposition. The curious pains transcending all common courtesy with which Mr. Shiveley of the Water Works has used in trying to get rid of his competitor does not convince us that competition is a bad thing to have. Is there some way by which the city can actually open the way for new proposals while not technically injuring the posted bonds? If there is, the city has the bonds already posted and the bids can be returned and modifications asked for, all the while maintaining competition and keeping the bonds liable to forfeit? For once competition is eliminated by rejecting both bids we can see that the Richmond City Water Works will not have a compelling reason such as competition and a posted bond to induce them to enter into the contracting business until they are quite willing to do so. If you will remember the $64.80 that the company is able to charge under the present contract and the fact that in the absence of any contract the same contractual conditions would obtain until this is settled, you can see that this would put the company in a rather advantageous position. We find on consultation with perfectly able iegal authorities including City Attorney Gardner that the bids may be returned asking for modifications and the bonds kept posted. Then the city can prepare the specifications under which the bidB are to be modified and the only matter then to be decided is whether the bids on the rates are satisfactory the city having thus drawn up the terms of the contract as a man draws up specifications for any other sort of contract. In this contract everything that the city wants should be included and in this preliminary talk of the crtfzeris will have come into good service. Competition in the bidding will therefore be secured, the bonds already posted, the matter has been focussed on the rates themselves and terms of the contract drawn by the city for its own protection. As to what should be contained in the contract The Palladium will discuss in an early issue. " Nobody questions the inadvisability of the acceptance of either proposal in its present form more than do we but is it not better to save what few concessions have been made, by the Richmond City Water Works and to maintain competition. DON'T REJECT THE BIDS MODIFY THEM J -

EUROPE MAY BE THE

Protest Against Astor-Force
Marriage Causes Complications. , (National News Association) NEY WORK, Aug. 11. Although
preparations are quietly going forward at Newport for the celebration of the marriage of Col. John Jacob Astor and
Miss Madeline Force, nevertheless so
ciety in this city heard today that the marriage may take place in Europe as a result of the denouncement of the approaching nuptials by many leading clerics of America.
William H. Force, father of the
bride-elect, refused to commit himself
on the subject, saying "he did not
know whether the marriage would
take place here or abroad."
The original plan was that the wed
ding should be celebrated in October
at Newport but the storm of protest from the Episcopal church may cause
a change in the plans. It is admitted that the wedding will be even more
quiet than at first proposed. Difficulty in finding an Episcopal clergyman to perform the ceremony in the United States after the volume of hostile criticism, has caused reconsideration of eome of the plans.
Col. Astor and his 18-year-old bride
will spend their honeymoon on Col.
Astor's yacht. Noma, then tour Eu

following a Custom. An American traveler in Russia uu earthed a relic of Catherine the Great, which amusingly illustrates the coo scrvatism of the Russians. One day in crossing a bridge she noticed that tlx half dozen wooden images upou pedestals which ornamented it were weather worn. "The statues must be repainted." she said. The next day a painter was set to work, and every year afterward while the empress lived she gave orders to have them repainted. At her death it had become an established annual custom, and today the poor statues, covered with more than a hundred coats of vermilion! paint, have no resemblance to anything but ungainly blocks of wood.
Cat Mint Courage. The peculiar virtue of cat mint, one of. thp, ten, varieties of mint, is probably unknown to town bred folk. "The. root, when chewed, says Miss F. A.

PACKEY McFARLANDS SECRET FOR FATIGUE
We are not all pugilists and so cannot remain in the pink of. condition all the time by exercise. But even as great a pugilist as Packey McFarland becomes exhausted once in a while, and his i.iethod of restoring this nervous energy is not by hardening his muscle but .by', using- the very same method which thousands of men and women are using: today. Packey's secret is really no secret at all. Here It is. in his own words: "While training I at times become fatigued and find splendid use for MakeMan Tablets, as I found them, from
personal .use, the best tonic I have ver
used. Any man or woman who will try Make-Man Tablets for building up the nerves and purifying the blood (and we all need it at least once in a while) will find them the most effective tonic ever offered the public. They enrich the blood cells, infuse the starving "zigzag" nerves with the natural strength they need. For Nervousness, Insomnia. Rheumatism, Kidney and Liver Trouble, Make-Man Tablets have no equal. The first box will prove it. Free sample sent on request, MakeMan Tablet Co., Dept. 15, Chicago, 111.
