TO MAKE BID FOR WATER CONTRACT Although Company Is Not Highly Pleased with the ; ! City's Proposal. . r

The Richmond City Water Works company will submit a bid for the water works contract on the date Bet for receiving bids, October 30, 1912. Superintendent Howard Dill stated this morning, but whether the rates would be Increased or decreased in the bid of that company under the conditions provided by the city authorities, he said he was unable to state now. The board of directors of the company will soon be called together to consider the matter, after which the work, of preparing a bid will be undertaken. . It would have been much more satisfactory, to the company if it could have had the opportunity to bid on a proposal . which did not provide for free water for the city's use, Mr. Dill said. He stated that the water the city used would have to be paid for by some one, and that the other consumers, the citizens, would be the ones to foot the bill. The provision in the city's proposal which requires the water works company to furnish without cost water used in automatic sprinkling devices, for Are protection only, will t have some effect on the 'bids, Mr. Dill also stated. The issuance of bonds for the $100,000 or more which the successful bidder will have to place, to make the Improvement required under -the contract proposal, will also be a factor entering Into the water rate question, Mr. Dill stated.

JUDGE GROSSCUP

NOW PROGRESSIVE

CHICAGO, Sept. 24. Peter S.

Grosscup, former Judge of the United States Circuit court, has joined the

Bull Moose party (Progreslve.) The at

titude of the party toward the trust question was the particular thing that attracted the former jurist.

He said: "On the social justice of

this new political movement and on its purpose to restore to the visible agencies of government the real power of government, Mr. Wilson pays

Mr. Roosevelt the unconscious tribute

of trying successfully to imitate him."

"It is' this sane, simple, sober, but

effective method of dealing with big national business that the Progressive

party has adopted. It proposes to keep the Sherman act in force the general injunction of the law to keep to the right. "Upon this fundamental economic issue, Mr. Wilson and the Democratic party are wrong and Mr. Roosevelt and the Progressive platform are right And so believing, I cast my lot with the Progressive party."

.. One of the most interesting of the conventions which are being held in this 'city during September is the 28th

annual reunion of the 69th Regimental association which will be held on Wednesday, the 25th. Colonel Oran Perry, one of the best known G. A. R. men in the country, and formerly a resident of this city, is president, and Major M. M. Lacey, is ,the secretary. The meetings will be held in the court house. At eleven o'clock promptly there will be an automobile ride, if the weather is favorable, and the Women's Relief Corps will serve lunoh at noon. There will be a session of the Association and a campfire in the afternoon but there will be no evening meeting. VjThe 69th, which did distinguished service in the Civil war, was mustered into the United States service August 19th, 1862, and fought its first battle on August 30th, 1862, at Richmond, Kentucky, J so that this reunion will really be its fiftieth anniversary. The majority of the members of the regiment were furloughed and came

back to Camp Wayne In November, 1862. Later the regiment went down the rover and were with Sherman In the rear of Vicksburg and went up the Tazoo river, where repulsed, going, afterdard, up the White river in Arkansas where they took the rebel post, Fort Arkansas, where two thousand prisoners were taken.

Squire Jones, of North F street, colored, was fined $50 and costs in police eourt this morning for operating a blind tiger at his home. He with several others living nearby have been suspected by the police for some time, and Sunday afternoon when he sold a half pint bottle of whiskey to John Turner, colored, for forty cents, he paved the way for admission to jail for sixty days, unless he pays or stays his fine. John Turner, the prosecuting witness, was watched by police who saw him go to the Jones home, come away and give a bottle of whiskey to a white man from Cambridge, who paid forty cents for the booze. Turner was taken to the office of Chief of Police Gormon and admitted his part In the transaction. He consented to prosecute. Jones was arrested last night. Jones had two witnesses in court, both testifying that Turner was drunk when he came to the Jones home, and did not secure any booze, although be asked for it. But one of the witnesses saw four women there, and the other did not. One of them stated he left the Jones home at five o'clock, and the other said he departed between I'.ne and ten o'clock, but both said they left together. His Honor opined there was room to distrust their stories. "It was a poorly patched up job, I see," said Mayor Zimmerman and fined Jones

$50 and costs. Turner said Jones kept his 'blind tiger" tied in a corner of the kitchethidden under a tub.

PROMPT STEPS TO STOP AH EPIDEMIC Fatality from Diphtheria at Hagerstown Causes Closing of School. (Palladium Special) HAGERSTOWN, Ind, Sept. 24. Fear of a diphtheira epidemic among the thirty pupils in one room of the public school here has resulted in the school being closed for ten days. Charles Maginske, aged seven, a pupil of the first grade room, was taken ill

in school last week, and died Sunday of diphtheria. Many other school children were exposed. Acting county health officer Davis ordered the other Maginske children closely quarantined and the school room thoroughly cleansed and fumigated before school is opened again. Local physicians have arranged to take specimens from the throat of each pupil in the room the specimens to be sent to Indianapolis for medical analysis. The little vicUm of the dread disease was a son of Theodore Maginske. It is thought that the radical steps taken by the health officer and school board to prevent an epidemic, will result in the checking of any such contact on.

HANDEL'S TEMPER.

8orely Tried by a Jeher Who Knew the Composer's Weakness. The celebrated composer Handel had such a remarkable irritation of nerves that he could not bear to hear the tun lng of instruments, and therefore tills was always done before he arrived at the theater. A musical wag who knew how to extract some mirth from Handel's irascibility of temper stole into the orchestra on a night when the Prince of Wales was to be present and untuned all the Instruments. As soon as the prince arrived Handel gave the signal of beginning, con aplrito, but such was the horrible discord that the enraged musician started up from his seat, and, having overturned a double bass, which stood In his way, he seized a kettledrum, which be threw with such violence at the leader of the band that he lost his full bottomed wig In the effort. Without waiting to replace it he advanced bareheaded to the' front of the orchestra, breathing vengeance, but so much chokTd with passion that utterance was denied him. In this ridiculous attitude he stood staring and stamping for some moments amid a convulsion of laughter, nor could he be prevailed upon to resume his seat until the prince went in person and appeased his wrath.

THE PLANET MARS.

Its Orbit and Its Distance From the Sun and Earth, While the astronomers are still debating and weighing the problem of Mars and its Inhabitants a few words about the distance of the planet from the sun and earth may be of interest.' The average distance of Mara from the sun Is 141,500,000 miles. The distance' from earth to nun is 93,000,000 miles. When sun, earth and Mars are In line, with the sun and Mars on op-, posite sides of the earth. Mars is said to be in "opposition," and it is then closest to the earth. If earth and Mars both moved in circles about the sun the distance from earth to Mara at opposition would be forty-eight and a half (141H-Q3) million miles. But neither of the orbits is circular, that of Mara being-much v more elliptical than that of the earth, with the result that at opposition Mars may be as far away as 61,000,000 miles. from the earth when there Is an unfavorable opposition, or Mars may come as close as 55,000,000 miles away, when It la as near as it can possibly come to the earth, and Its opposition Is then the most favorable possible. At such times Mara is brightest in the sty and appears of greatest Rise. New York World.
