MUNICIPAL
OWNERSHIP

Is o topic you hear discussed very Of
ten, particularly around election time.
The other evening we heard three
"heelers" arguing the question; one
was a full-hedged gobbler of all fran
chlses, while the other two didn't en-
t1rely make up their minds. Wen,
tue first spokesman was q "corker
with the gift of CAB. He showed
the others why the municipality
should own the gas, the railways, the
electric cars and electric lights ana
hundred and one other things, but ne
didn't seem to make the right impress
sion until he showed that by control
lizg the breweries it would be good
xhing. That settled it. Just at this
stage of the conversation they took
walk and q certain tea man got 10
thinking about municipal ownership
and the more he thought of the brew
cries the heartier he laughed because
he knew It would be darn GOOD
thing If for no other reason than TO
make vast majority of the voters
take special interest about election.
It's queer the stuff they make in brew
cries takes such n hold on people.
How much better off they'd be IL they
would drink nothing stronger than
tea and coffee. The kind we sell is
the good kind. IL you don't believe
us, try it. A few sleeve ironing
boards left; one with a pound. Our
butter is as usual the good kind, zoe

WAS REMINGTON MlRDERED?
Physicians Say lie Didn't Kiii Himself At
Newport.

WILLIAMsPoRT. Pa, Nov 1.-Two Of the
three physicians who conducted the autopsy
on the body Of Robert Remington in this city
three months ago made statements tonight
giving il "a their opinion that Remington
was murdered He was supposed TO have
committed suicide in Newport, having been
infatuated with Miss Van Allen. They base
their opinion on the nature Of the wounds
and the fact that no powder marks were
found on the dead mans body.
Dr. Ferd Weddigen, one Of the physicians,
said tonight:
From facts revealed at the autopsy
il is impossible that Remington could
have killed himself. We have been sworn
to secrecy regarding this. but Edward
Remington's statement to-day opens the
way for a statement. In the first place,
there was no powder on the dead mans
body. In 32-calibre revolver shot the
powder will penetrate the flesh at distance
of twelve feet. 1t will also burn hair at
that distance
II Remington had fired those shots him
self the powder would have been thick
in his face. Again. there were three bullet
wounds. one In the forehead, one in tho
temple, and one in the mouth. The one in
tut IuOulu was W Mn instantly
Either of the others would have made him
unconscious for several days Remington
could not have fired all three"
DR.. Mccormick said
From facts that developed at the most
mortem, Remington could not have killed
himss If. | reached this conclusion from the
| nature of the wounds"
DR.. G.. ID. Mutt, the third physician said.
Il am sworn to secrecy. and until released
| by Mr., ReminRtons attorney | cannot
saw anything on the case.
| In An interview to-nig ht Edward Reming-
| ton deni ed that he had written or authorized
| to be printed any statement setting fort
| the facts a. to the cause Of his brother
| death.
NEWPORT. r. l., Nov. I7.-When tho
| medical examiner was called 10 view the
body If Robert Reading Remington On
| the afternoon II Aug. Is last. he decided
| at once that II was case Of suic' o." and III at
| there "aS no necessity for calling the COR
oner, who is only called when ase il sIs-
| piciOus
| After the body had been removed and a
| thorough examination made, II developed
| that the wounds could not have been other
| than self-inficted, particularly the wound
in the mouth. The revolver had been
placed in the mouth and the bullet pene-
trated the head,
| The murder theory is secuted by every
| one who in any way knows about the case
There is no possible person upon whom
suspicion could have fallen. II was clearly
case of suicide.
