Fire Wagon Purchased 81 City.

special meeting Of the City Coun-
ell Monday at IL O'Clock result
ed in the purchase OF q fire wagon
for the city. This step has been ex-
pected for some time and the an
nouncement of the action of the City
Fathers has been anticipated.
The wagon is one Of the best that
could be secured for the money. 1t
carries 1900 feet Of hose with ook and
ladder extension also roof ladders
and two fire extinguishers. Several
wagons Of the same type have been
purchased by many towns of the
state and every town reports that the
wagons have given entire ~satisfac-
ton.
The purchase of something In the
way OF fire lighting apparatus means
not only better fire protection but a
much lower rate for fire insurance.
Heretofore the rate has been rather
high. mainly because the town could
boast of practically nothing with
which the ravages OF a fire could be
met once a confagration was started.
With the arrival of this wagon a
greater assurance will be given that
any fire however large may be met
and successfully COPIED with. This
will be most gratifying to those who
have felt the present rate of insurance
was too high.
With the coming of this wagon eth
er a volunteer company of freight
J ers or else a paid company will be
formed. A good volunteer company
could easily be formed from the
young men of the town, which, with
a little practice, would prove the
equal of any similar company in the
state.
Fire tournaments will no longer be
held in the state without Henderson,
! vile having a delegation to send
along to contest for and bring back
a large share of the various prizes of.
fered.

Beverly Mass July 23.-In the
first statement he has made since the
passage Of the reciprocity bill by the
senate, President Taft at the summer
White House tonight freely acknowl-
edged that his long, hard campaign
In behalf of that easur would have
proved unavailing If the Democrats
had not helped him. without such
aid the president declared reciprocity
would have been Impossible"
The Democrats did not play poll
tics In the colloQufal sense in which
those words are used" said the presi-
dent, "but they followed the dictates
OF a higher policy" For Secretary
Knox and his associates in the state
department who conducted the nego-
tfations and framed the act the pres
ident said more than a word of praise.
Those Republicans" he said, "who
fought for reciprocity and some of
whose votes were necessary to the
passage of the bill may properly en-
Joy mutual Fluctuations on work
wen done.
In his own judgment, the president
declared, the agreement would mark
an epoch in the relations between the
United States and Canada, and those
who opposed the bill in congress
would find their prophecies disproved
and their fears aIlayed by its actual
operations. It's passage by the Cana
dian parliament, the last step before
it becomes a bond between the two
countries, he hopes and believes
would be forthcoming. "The satisfac-
ton that actual experience in its
working will give" he said, eve con-
1dently. hope will secure its perma-
hence. In a decade it's benefits will
contribute much to a greater United
States and greater Canada"

Dallas, Texas, July 23.-All returns
from the Statewide prohibition cleo
ton in Texas received by the Calves
ton-Dallas News thus far, after being
subjected to the most careful revision,
give:
For prohibition, 225,583; against
228, 933. Anti majority, 3,4OO.
No returns have been received from
I've counties, but these perhaps have
cast no more than 1000 votes. Forty
seven counties have made only par
tial returns, but in most of these only
a few small boxes are missing.
The total unreported vote probably
will not exceed $4,000, it being indi-
lated that the vote polled was about
100000, which is the largest vote ever
pelled in Texas, except in 1896, when
$4,000 votes were cast.
A survey of the territory not yet re-
ported, which is we'll scattered over
the state, indicates thai the returns
yet to come hold about as much prom
Use for one side as the other, and the
result may be put down as doubtful,
but slightly more in favor of the
anti's than the prohibitionists.
At anti-prohibition headquarters a
majority of 5000 is claimed. The pro
hibition leaders are quite as en-
phatic in asserting that they have
gained a victory in the election, ana
moreover they assert that frauds have
been committed. Both sides have
issued warnings that the ballot boxes
should be carefully preserved, and it
seems inevitable that there will be u
contest in the courts and possibly a
legislative investigation, regardless
of the showing made on the face Of the
returns.

Frank Orr Reaches Manassas With
His W~heeIbarrOW.

Manassas, Va, July 23.-By rolling
a wheelbarrow from Atlanta to New
York, Frank Orr of Charlotte, N. c.,
expects to win a wager of $500. He left
Charlotte June % without matches or
money and by the terms of his wager
was allowed to ask for nothing but
a drink of water. While in North
Carolina that provision cost him two
days hunger, he says.
Orr passed through here today head
ed for Washington. His average daily
travel Is 20 miels. He is due in New
York August 10, but says he will ar
rive before that.

Richmond, Va, July 24-Yesterday
furnished the calm after the storm of
interest and indignation in the Beat
tie murder case which prevailed Sat-
drday. Henry G. Beattie, Jr., held by
the coroner's jury responsible for the
filing of his young wife, remained
quietly in Henrico county Jail, to
which he was taken for ~safekeeping
and exhibited throughout the day the
nonchalance which he has maintain
ed throughout the proceedings in
which he has been the principal fig
ure.. BY permission he carried his
guitar to Jail with him. He read the
accounts of the coroner's inQues= in
the papers yesterday with apparent
interest, and ate meals which were
sent to him from a nearby restaurant
with relish.
Paul Beattie, Henry's cousin, who
is also held in the Henrico Jail as a
material witness for the prosecution,
also asked for newspapers, and read
the accounts of his own testimony at
he inquest, and in the woman's ward
/ the same prison, Beulah Binford,
.he woman in the case" also held
as a witness, spent the day alone.
Neither Paul nor Beulah seemed to
have any symptoms of the hysterical
condition which characterized them
Saturday.
Henry's father and brother, Doug
las, visited the accused husband this
morning, but otherwise those who
called to see the prisoners we're de-
MED admittance.
1t is understood that Mr.. Wenden-
berg, counsel for the commonwealth,
scouts the prevalent idea that Paul
Beattie had knowledge of the use to
which the gun he bought for Henry
was to be put, if he were not actually
at the scene of the killing Tuesday
night. 1t seems certain that Paul is
able to establish a perfect alibi, so
far as Tuesday evening is concerned.
The scenes of the crime on the Mid
lothian turnpike was visited by hun
dreds of people yesterday, many of the
throng looking for evidences of the
murder which have not yet come to
light. One person picked up a No. 6
shot unused cartridge, which is be-
lieved to be one of those purchased
by Paul and delivered to Henry with
the gun. Two at least of the four
cartridges bought are thus accounted
for.
The murder continued the one
topic of talk throughout the city yes
terday and ministers indirectly refer
red to the crime in their sermons. Mr..
and Mrs. R. v. Owen Of Dover, Del,
parents of the murdered wife and
mother, left with the 5~-year-old baby
of the slain woman for Newport News
Saturday with the idea of getting
away from the excitement here, aud
it is understood that they will take
the child to their home in Dover and
care for it there.

"The liquor traffic is a cancer in
society, eating out it's vitals and
threatening destruction, and all at

nrove abortive, but will aggravate
the evil. There must be no attemnt
to regulate the cancer. 1t must he

IT GROWS HAIR.
Here Are Facts We Want You to
Prove at Our Risk.

Marvellous as it may seem, Rexall
1913" hair tonic has grown hair on
heads that were once bald. OF course,
in none of these cases we're the hair
roots dead, nor had the scalp taken
on a glazed, shiny appearance.
Rexall 1913" hair tonic acts scien-
tifically, destroying the germs which
are usually responsible for badness.
1t penetrates to the roots of the hair,
stimulating and nourishing them. 1t
is a most pleasant toilet necessity, is
delicately perfumed, and will not gum
or permantly stain the hair.
We want you to get a bottle of Rex
all hair tonic and use it as directed.
IL 1t does not relieve scalp irritation,
remove dandruf, prevent the hair
from failing out and promote an in
creased growth of hair. and in every
way give entire satisfaction, simply
come back and tell us, and without
question Or formality we will hand
back to you every penny you paid us
for 1t. Two sizes, so cents and 81.
Sold only at our stire-the RexaIl
store. c. d. Kendall.

The law regarding the breaking of
quarantine is very severe. and the
health officers propose to prosecute
any parties known to break the quar-
antinee regulations, as will be seen
by a signed notice elsewhere in this
issue. This applies equally to any
part of the county or village. While
1t is certainly a hardship to be under
quarantine for several weeks with lit
tic Or no sickness, yet it is manifestly
unfair fora few to avoid regulations
and others to live up to them.
