Ell pueblo, pues, bien considerable,

Ha sucedido una vez en- la hlstorla

tempestad de vapores condensados

afn mas la atmosfera de la libertad.
Ha habido otras epocas que la hu-

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends 10 personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid

beneficial properties of perfect lax

dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

every Objectionable substance.

WILL NOT Be LICENSED.
Mayor Steinman Goes Back on His
Gambling Ordinance.
Trustee Green Was the Only One Who
Voted for It, and He Changed
His Vote.

Mayor Steinman killed his own ordi-
nance licensing gambling.
The Trustees held the much talked Of
special meeting yesterday morning. The
first thing on the programme was the
presentation by the Mayor Of a substitute
for the original ordinance. The substi-
tute provided that no person should con-
duct any game of chance unless he paid a
license at the rate Of 500 per quarter, or
$50 per month for each game; that no
minor should be allowed to play against
the games, nor assist in any manner; that
anyone violating the ordinance should be
fined $500, or sentenced to imprisonment
for sixty days; that the proprietors Of
games should be responsible for the acts
OF their agents; that there should be no
games on the Sabbath; that there should
be no music IN the gambling rooms; and
that the signatures of SIX responsible citi-
zens should accompany each application.
General a. l.. Hart, who last Monday
presented the voluminous petition from
citizens for the passage OF the ordinance
then addressed the board. He said the
policy Of the law had not met with the
approval of the people, with reference to
the suppression of gambling. The rec
ordS would show that convictions were
exceedingly rare except in the cases of
Chlnamen caught gambling. The Gen
eral cited several prominent gambling
cases he had been connected with, and he
said there was not a conviction in one of
the instances. The law against gambling,
was a dead one, as were all others tending
to curtail the liberties of the people.
Gambling was as old, he said, as the
human race, and is discernible in all
manner of business transactions. 1t was,
however, nature, and no kind Of law
could stop 1t.
Continuing, General Hart said that the
Legislature, in trying to eradicate evils
growing out of gambling, had struck at
certain games, ignoring others. 1t was
misguided course, for the Legislature, in
fixing penalties, had compelled men who
were willing to conduct their games in
the sunlight to go to dark places, and had
given "bunco'' and robbing games per-
mission to go on. There has never been
case, and there never will be one, in
which reputable man will be convicted
under this statute. They may have their
dOOrkeepers, although they would like to
go out in the light and before the public
eye to exercise their occupation. They
may be caught and brought into the
courts-but they cannot be convicted
The proposed ordinance would regulate
gambling so that men who dCsire to bet
could go to the games under the protec-
ton OF the law, in the presence, even, of
the police and the Sherit17s officers. There
were people who, from religious and
other motives, desire to suppress gam
bling, but their efforts have been futile.
They are representative of those who are
responsible for The law on the statute
books. But the business men of this city
have sent in to the Trustees a petition
asking the board to adopt this ordinance,
that gambling may be properly restricted

ones found out and closed down, and that
revenue may be secured to the city.
The General considered that it would
be unwise to have no gambling during
the coming State Fair. The Chico Fair
was a financial failure because the games
were shut out, and he was afraid that if
the people knew they would not be
allowed to bet on the races, they would
stay away from the State Fair. He was
SATISFIED, he said, that gambling would 90

have them open, and have them contrib
ute something toward the support of the
city? The Attorney-G GENERALS Office had
sent out an opinion to the effect that the
Trustees could pass such an ordinance as
was proposed, and that they would not
be liable under the law making II a felony
to license gambling. The latter law had
been found to be Illegal.
" hen the General had concluded his
remarks. the board took hold OF the mat
ter. There was some disposition to delay
the ote, but Trustee Conklin forced the
issue, saying he was prepared TO cast his
vote at once.
Mayor Steinman intimated that the
CITY Attorney was near by and could be
sent for if the board needed any more
advice.
But Mr.. Conklin did not like this idea
either. He then moved that the rules be
suspended, the amended ordinance read
the second time and put to vote.
Green seconded the motion and it was
carried.
After the ordinance was read vote

he would have voted for the ordinance if
