Thanksgiving, the strictly American
holiday which appeals to the loyalty
and patriotism of the people OF this be-
loved land of ours. will be observed
generally by the residents of Laramie
tomorrow.
The banks will be closed, the post
Office will keep Sunday hours. the pub
lie schools will all close for the day
and remain closed till Monday. the
business houses will all give their en-
ploycs at least a half-holiday, and in
the afternoon all who delight in the
great national game of football will be
given an opportunity to enjoy them
selves, as the game on the university
campus will be a good one. Both teams
have been practicing every day for
some time and are in good condition
for the fray. Being evenly matched in
size and weight. the game will doubt
less be holly contested from beginning
to end.

OWNERS ARRESTED.
FOUR PkOPRIETORS OF ALLEGED
GAMBLING HOUSES PLEAD
NOT GUILTY.
The Mayor and the City Attorney Say
That They Mean Business and that
the Gambling Ordinance Will Be
Enforced Without Favor-This
Will Shut on All Games.

Last evening Mayor Miller and At
torney Arnold stated in the most posi-
tive name that the ordinance con-
corning gambling would be enforced
without favor, and in all it's sections.
I'VE have no discretionary power"
said Mr.. Arnold. 1T is our duty to en-
force the law as we find it, and it will
be done. If the city council don't like
the law. as the law-making power it
will have to repeal it. OF course, in
this campaign against the gamblers,
It was the intention OF the administra-
ton to hit the tin-horns and the in
veterate gamblers the hardest. because
their offenses are of a graver nature
than those of the man who only plays
occasionally and then only for amuse-
ment."
If the mayor and the city attorney
mean what they say, and there is no
question but that they do. it means
that all playing of cards for cigars and
drinks will be stopped; it means that
the playing of cards by the ladies Of
the city for prizes will be stopped; It
means that all the slot machines will
be stopped: it means that the shaking
of dice for cigars will be stopped. In
fact, it means that every section Of the
ordinance will be enforced. Possibly
a lady detective clever with the cards
and high in society may have been at
work in the same n hat "Cordu-
roy BIZ has enjoyed himself, confn-
ing her duties to the fair sex. Wouldn't
such a report. with names and dates
and the prizes played for cause a SEN
sation in the Gem City?
Being asked who Corduroy Bill was,
Attorney Arnold replied that he was a
tin-horn gambler resident in the city
some three or four months. 1t was
deemed necessary to take a man of
this character to use in the business
laid out for him. In other words, the
devil must be fought with fire. 'Cordu-
roy has been having a pretty good
time for three months. His small sal
airy did not go very far, it is true, but
he is a dead game sport and what he
lacked in means is said to have been
made up by his friends. who have
treated him with the greatest kindness
and consideration while he has been
taking down thir names and the time
and place, One mar with whom he
has been particularly chummy was re-
ported in many games. The man with
the corrugated clothing will be remem-
bered in the Gem City for many days.

A SIMPLE HARMLESS REMEDY.
Yet 1t Cures the Worst Cases of Dys-
pepsia and Indigestion.

DR.. Jennison, who has made a life
study of stomach troubles, says: All
forms of indigestion really amount to
the same thing, that is, failure to COM
pletely digest the food eaten; no matter
whether the trouble is acid dyspepsia
or sour stomach, belching of wind,
nervous dyspepsia or loss of flesh and
appitite; a person will not have any of
them if the stomach can be induced by
any natural, harmless way to digest
what is eaten. and this can be done by
a simple remedy which | have tested
in hundreds of aggravated cases with
complete success. The remedy is a
combination of fruit and vegetable es-
sences, pure aseptic pepsin and golden
seal put up in the form of pleasant
tasting tablets and sold by druggists
under the name Of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. One or two of these tablets
should be taken after meals ard al
lowed to dissolve in the mouth and
mingling with the food in .he stomach
uiSest IL completely before It has time
to ferment. decay or sour.
On actual experiment one grain of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
three thousand grains of meat. eggs
and similar wholesome foods.
1t is safe to say if this wholesome
remedy was better known. by people
generally, it would be n national bless
ing. as we are a nation OF dyspeptics
and nine-tenths of all diseases owe
their origin to imperfect digestion and
nutrition.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not a
secret patent medicine, but a fifty cen
package will do more real good for a
weak stomach than fifty dollars worth
of patent medicines and a person has
the satisfaction of knowing inst what
he Is putting into his stomach, which
he does not know, when widely adver-
tised patent medicines are used.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, full size package fifty cents.

NEARING A CONCLUSION.
The Electric Light Contract Discussed
in Special Session.

The city council met in special SEES
sion last evening at 7:30 o'clock for the
purpose of discussing the light con-
tract and arriving at a definite conclu>
sion. A form of contract was submit
ted by Mr.. Symons, attorney for the
Laramie Electric, Gas Light and Fuel
company. and discussed till almost 10
O'Clock. when the council took an ad-
journment, there still being a few mi
nor details unsettled. The contract as
it will probably be agreed to gives the
Laramie company a contract for light
ing the city for a period of five years
at the following rates:
10 arc lamps at $3.50 per month. 1925
30 incandescent lamps at S1.5O per
month -. ...... .......... l35
Lighting city hall and hose houses,
s2i per month "a
Probable cost of breakage per
month ...... ........ 5
Total per month $3.50
The bill of the light company for the
month of October was 1922. and was
scaled down by the finance committee
to s2SS, so the contract really amounts
to about the same figure as the city is
now paying, but the service will be con-
siderably improved. it is said.
Under the new contract the city will
be required to replace all street lamps
at its W expense. the lamps being
furnished to the city by the company
at cost. This work will be performed
by the police department. At the time
the council adjourned the only point
which had not been settled was the
time to be allowed for repair in case
of unavoidable accidents and during
which the city should be required to
pay for the. light. The council was
willing to allow "a hours after notice
was given to the company. but Mr.. Sy-
mons was not willing to agree to this
without consulting his board.

LITERARY BLONDES.
[From the Pittsburg Dispatch.


Among the women prominent in the
literary world today it is interesting to
note that many of them are of the deli
cate blonde types. Marie COrelli, whose
books sell enormously and are transla-
ted into nearly a dozen languages, in
Guiding Arabic and Hindustanee, is dis
tinctly petite, with a fragile figure and
a mass of curling, reddish gold hair I'M
der which large, dark blue eyes look
Questioningly. She was born in Italy,
but was adopted in early childhood by a
London physician, the father of Eric
Mackay, the poet, who, like Byron,
aWOke and found himself famous on
the publication of his volume of SON
nets, THE Love Letters of a Violin
ist'-which gives him high rank
among the younger Victorian poets.
CorelH lavishes unbounded admiration
upon his work and frequently quotes his
poems in her novels. In BE Romance

Most Gracious Majesty, Queen Victor

at o'clock in the morning.
Frances HOdgsOn Burnett is also a
blonde. In one family OF her friends
she is called by the caressing pet name
Of Fluffy" She is delicate in cOlOring
and has a mobile face rather serious in

ANNEXATION OF CUBA.
French Editor Foresees Ultimate Uni
ty With the United States.

Paris, May 26.-The attention of the
French press has been turned in the
direction of the east for so long that for
some time the Cuban question has been
if not entirely. at any rate to great
extent, ignored.
The recent action of the senate in
Washington passed almost unnoticed
until yesterday, when some revival of
interest was manifested by some of the
papers. Georges Clemenceau, editor
of La Justice, was asked his opinion as
to the outcome of the struggle in the
Pearl of the Antilles. He said:
There can be no question as tn tho
final issue of the struggle between tba
Cubans and Spain. It is an indisput-
able fact that the islands in the vicinity
of the American continent must coma

the moon could escape the influence of
the earth. In fact, Cuba and Porto
Rico and the other islands of the yicin

merely satellites bound to the Ameri-
can continent, and infallibly they will
gravitate under her influence. 1t is
impossible that this could be other
wise.
Napoleon sold Louisiana, but do you
not think that 1t would be absurdity to
imagine that, had he not done so, Lou
isiana could have been used as a sort
of base from which to direct any ele-

United States?

A PoEr on HARD TIMEs
GFrom the Chicago Chronicle.I

lFTOm the chicago Chronicle.
The following was penned by VIII
liam Cullen Bryant in 1857 and inspired
by the financial depression of that per-
iod- 1t was published in the New
York Evening Post. of which Mr.. Bry-
ant was editor, September % 1857 and
has been kindly furnished the Chroni-
Gle by p. B. Osborn of 80 Thirty-third
street, this city, who has preserved it
all these years. The article was print
ed under the caption THE Moral of the
Times, and is as follows:
In times of trouble and disaster, all
our selfish instincts are first awakened
to activity. This is apt TO be the case
with the most disinterested. so long as
they see the means of guarding them
selves and their own fresides from I'M
pending harm. 1t is not till they find
that the storm of deSolatiOn can be
stayed by no human hand, and is LA
bic at any moment to sweep over them
that they lift up their eyes and follow
the lightning's shaft to the hand that
directs it. Then our selfish impulses
give way to more generous emotions;
we find ourselves invOluntariy drawn
toward our fellow sufferers by the ties
of a common brotherhood.
There is much IN the present state
of affairs in the financial world to move
our sympathy and there is much to
arouse our selfish impulses. So many
and such great changes of fortune as
have occurred within the last month
have rarely, if ever before, been wit
messed in this country. While it was
supposed that the range of the storm
was circumscribed, 50 long as the wary
and the wealthy believed they could
keep beyond its reach, they naturally
battered themselves that they had been
more prudent, and perhaps more de-
serving, than their unfortunate neigh
bors This complacency on the one
hand. and precautions for their own Sc
curity on the other, left them little
time and less inclination, to concern
themselves much about the troubles OF
others.
Presently the cloud, which was no big
ger than a mans hand, covers the whole
horizon with it's darkness NO one can
any longer comfort himself with the
the assurance that he is beyond the
reach of its accommodating terrors. Inc
wise man begins to realize his weak
ness: he is ashamed of his harsh judg-
ments of others, and his too Hatteflng
Judgment of his own wisdom and
goodness; his Indifference about the
troubles of others, which he might have
relieved and did not, fill his heart with
remorse. The curtain of SelhShneSS
which bounded his vision seems to be
suddenly drawn aside, and he d1ScoV-
ers for the first time how little he has
had. himself, to do with the accumula-
ton of property upon which ne has pre-
sumed so much; how it may have been
sent to him for the very purpose OF be
ing taken from him again under CIR
cumstances like these, and as the pest
means of revealing to him 4 sense OF
his daily dependence upon providence
and upon his fellow man..
