Brains and Beauty.

In looking around al the successful
men of the present day one is depress-
ed TO notice how few are good looking.
Is it possible for beauty and brains to
exist together? Though more fortunes
are made in business now than ever in
the past. it grows daily more obvious
that we are not beautiful. Again, does
the good looking man succeed? The
finest men. the artist will tell you, are
the Italian peaSantry of the do moth
ing type. 1t does not take much trou-
BILE TO notice how very few of the fine
men are among the successes. Mr..
Stackpool O'Dell. whose knowledge of
brains IS famous. remarked that if the
Apollo Belvedere descended TO earth
today he would probably be found in a
very humble position-as a commits
s.oanaire, or n footman. or an artists
model. Yet how many captains of in
dustry would care to share a pedestal

scum :-Iondon Mail

Cnrbonfc Acid Sprtn Gs.

In the Auvergne region of France a
large amount of carbonic acid gas
comes from the soil and Is one OF the
last traces of the former volcanic ac-
tivity Of this region. The springs that
yield the gas are found generally in
the assures of the ground which allow
the water to rise. One of the Mont
pensier springs has been known as the
poisoned spring." Animals which de-
scend into the cavity to drink are soon
asphyxiated by the gas which is given
off by the water and accumuates here.
Bodies Of birds, rabbits. dogs. sheep
and other animals are found. and even
persons have narrowly escaped. Veg
citation is also affected by an oxer-
dose of the gas. Spots can be seen
running in line across the fields.
where the plants have suffered from
gas coming up through the assures of
the ground at different points. Sound
ings show the presence Of great guam
tity of gas. and it is usually in very
pure state.

FIGHT To RETAIN
PRESENT BUSINESS
Municipal Light Plant Will Not
Lay Down to Light, Heat
and Power Co.
OUTLOOK is OPTIMISTIC
RATES ARE ALREADY Low AND
WITH NEW EQUIPMENT CITY
PLANT SHOULD EASILY KEEP
BULK OF BUSINESS.

If the Light, Heat and Power Com
pany has by any cause been misled
| into the belief that the city of Rich
mond does not intend to make val
| liant fight for the retention of its pres
ent business and also for new bust
ness, it is time at this early stage, TO
| dispel the hallucination At this very
/ time the ground work FOR a campaign
for new business is being arranged by
| the board of public works and the SUI
| perintendent of the city lighting plant
and what is of more interest, there
| is every reason TO believe that the city
plant will get what it is going after.
The fact that new machinery is being
put in, thus increasing the capacity for
lighting service, has aroused new in
terest among consumers and as it gen
orally is realized that a stiff fight is to
ensue with the private company, there
is feeling that the taxpayers should
give support of the municipal plant in
preference to the private corporation.
One of the members of the Board
of Works said to the Palladium yester
| day that the city fully realized that
the Light, Heat and Power Company
was preparing to push the city for
the lighting. business and was there
fore governing itself accordingly.
Our plant will be we'll equipped when
the improvements now under way are
completed, and with our rates down to
the lowest ebb, we see no reason why
our business should not increase a
great deal. We will be in position to
take care of much additional lighting
and we believe that the city plant is
deserving Of the fullest confidence.
The Light, Heat and Power Compa-
ny has not made any boasts that it in
tended to make an effort to put the
city out of the electric lighting bust
ness, but the fact that the company's
plant is to be converted into one of the
best in this part of the country is in
dicative that it does not intend to be
run out of business iself without a
hard fight. 1t is not believed that
there Will be much rate cutting-that
is the regular schedule of prices is not
likely to be so pared down by either
company, but where big contracts are
concerned, it is likely that there will
be some reductions offered by both as
an inducement The city of Rich
mond has put a large sum of money in
to its light plant, has gotten out but
comparatively small sum up to the
present, but for all that, city officials
generally, and many citizens, regard
the municipal plant as a good invest
ment, even though it's only function
shall be to provide competition and
thereby insure low rates to the con-
sumerS.

TISTICAL ECHO,

The final statistical echo of the re-
cent election was heard yesterday,
when the sheriffs of Wayne, Fayette
and Union counties, held a brief ses-
sion in Richmond and canvassed the
votes for joint senator and joint repre-
sentative. Sheriff Smiths visitors
were Sheriff Jeffries of Fayette coun-
|ty and Sheriff Weidner, of Union coun-
ty. Under the election laws now ex-
listing, the sheriffs of the counties
which elect either state senator or
representative Jointly, must meet and
canvass the returns.
The work did not require much time
and as the three sheriffS are Republi-
cans, they of course did not wrangle.
In fact the session was enjoyable and
the three sheriffs snapped stories aft
er the work was over and smoked
pipe of peace and good will. The
canvass showed that Richard n. Eli
oft, Republican candidate for joint
Representative from Wayne and Fay
cite counties was elected sure and GER
tain and the same result was determin-
ed in the case of Roscoe E. kirkman,
Republican candidate for joint sena-
tor from Wayne and Union counties.
The result, tabulated, is as follows:

(By Correspondent

Because the correspondent of the
Palladium is Senior and told of the
disappointment of the Juniors over
their cheap class pins, the correspon-
dent OF the Item, who is a Junior, is
trying to make capital out of little
incident which occurred at the school
building yesterday. In long article
greatly exaggerated and contrary to
the true facts in the case, the Item
correspondent tried to show that the
Seniors were again in bad repute at
the high school. The purpose of the
article was that the school authori
ties had refused to hang the picture,
given to Miss Mering by the Senior
boys, in the North room where she
teaches, and that the boys had taken
it on themselves to hang the picture,
for which there had been some ex-
pulsiOns. This was absolutely I'M
true. No one was expelled and the
authorities were SO we'll pleased with
the picture selected that they allow
ed it to hang just as the Senior boys
had placed it,

made in this case after they had
spent nearly seven dollars on the
clothes. Some of the boys have been
advised to go to law with the case
When told this the board laughed and
said that the law in Chicago upheld
the school board in similar case and
that no doubt they would uphold
them in this case.
