talked OF, four 10 go On Second stree,
and the other three to be placed on First

and council would like to have the COM

As the council Is showing a decided
weakness in the knees, 1t Is entirely
probable that there will be no reduction

LIGHT CONTROVERSY.
THE COUNCIL ENDEAvORING TO
MAKE A NEW CONTRACT FOR
LIGHTING STREETS.
A Meeting Held Last Evening. But Lit
tie Progress Was Made-The Rates
at Evanston-Council Wants 9 Few
Big Liyhss-The Position Of Both
Sides Stated.

The city council and the board OF di. |
rectors OF the Laramie Electric. Gas. |
Light and Fuel company met asst even
ing for the purpose OF considering a new
contract for lighting the city. 1t will
be remembered that when the new ad-
ministration came n.o power a cons!d-
cradle flourish was made over this mat
ter, and it was stated that the company
would be compelled to make a contract
at a greatly reduced figure. Since tina,
time, however. no change whatever has
been made in the then existing contract;
in fact no contract has been made. They
just simply didn't do a thing. At the
last meeting Of the city council Council
men May and Fee attacked the company
rather bitterly and Mayor Miller re-
marked that the city was not getting as
good service as it was paying for. At
the same meeting 1t ~as ordered that
the council meet the light board and
consider a new contract, and in pursu>
ance Of this order the meeting was held
last night. Councilman Fee was sick
and Councilman Grant was absent from
the city. but there was a majority OF
the councilmen and the mayor present.
The conference was not OF a very sat.
isiactory nature and was entirely bar
rem OF results. the matter now standing
jus where 1T did before. The Republican
this morning saw the secretary Of the
light company. Mr.. Symons. and he pre-
sen ted the views OF the board upon the
matter. The position taken by the board
Is hat no material reduction can be
made in the city contract. 1t !s claim
ed that the city is now lighted at a fig
ure as low as any western city and that
II an arbitrary reduction is made. the
light will be shut off. The municipal
system was ordered at the express So
liciuation Of the city council and can be
used for no other purpose than FOR
lighting the streets and any radical
changes made would be a dead loss to
the company. which is not now growing
rich at what might be called q break
neck speed. It is stated that the invest.
ment has n o paid two per cent and that
the stock Of the company can be pur.
chased today for 25 cents on the dollar:
that it is a local institution which
should be TO a certain extent fostered
by the community. its employees being
men Of families and all making their
homes in this city.
The following rates for domestic SER
vice at Evanston were submitted to the
council for comparison with the rates
paid in this city:

THE JUDGES
She Manages to Make He Father Wish
She Were Married.

The judges daughter was in one OF
her thoughtful moods, and the judge
was naturally nervous. He knew what
those moods porsended. for had he not
been tripped up as a result OF them ON
previous occasions?
Papa" she said at last, Il wish you
would enlighten me in regard TO a lit
tie legal problem that has been bo.her-
Ing me for some time"
The Judge sighed and pu: down his
paper. He knew tina. there was no use
battling again5. fake. He was in for
trouble, and he would have to make
the best OF it.
What il it," he asked.
"N's the case OF this Miss Tillinghast,
uhe artist, who undertook to put some
s,ained glass angels In a memorial win
dow, and who has had to sue for the
contract price OF the work." explained
the judges daughter.
Its a stnight case Of law" said the
judge. to himself with some utilization.
for he could answer about anything in
the legal line that didn't have snarls in
1t. Then he asked: what is there
about 1t that puzzles you? II she has
i contract it ought to be a very sim,
pie"
"Oh. she has the contract all right
enough" Interrupted the Judges daugh-
ter, hut 1 am not quite sure
about the Interpretation OF it. That's
why I have come to you. OF course,
you know everything that there is to
know about law. and what is so blind
and confusing to me will be a mere
tribe to you. You see the contract call
ed FOR an angel, but the figure Miss
Tilinghass put in the window has no
wings. and 1t Is for that reason that
payment has been refused. Naturally.
the whole question hinges on Whether
the law recognizes angels with or with
out wings. Is a wingless angel law
ful or does The supreme court recognize
only the winged variety? 1t is possible
10 produce any authentic record OF an
Iangel without wings? Would one have
any standing In court? And. on the
other hand. have we any evidence that
a real angel has wings! OF course tina,
is the supposrfon, but would you as a
presiding Judge in a case Of this sort
Iieel that you were tustIied in accept,
Ing wings as established beyond a rea.
seaabse doubt?"
The judges daughter paused and
Hooked at the Judge m%quinngly. The
judge puffed his cigar with unneces-
sary energy and looked at his daugh>
ter.
isn't chat the only question at issue
In this case?" demanded the Judges
daughter, and judge nodded.
''well, them" she persisted, and
waited for him to answer.
well. then" he said slowly, .afaer q
minute Of thought. II am Of the opin,
ion that the evidence in this case shows
nat you are going to make thinss
mAghtAy interesting for some young mai

Then the judge went upstairs and

frightened.
Salem, Radford, Blacksburg, Christian
burg, Roanoke, Wythville, Fincastle and
other points in Southern Virginia, also re-
ported having experienced earthquake
shocks. At most places there We're two
shocks, one shortly after noon and the
other a about o'clock. Radford appears
to have been the point of the most pro-
nounced disturbance Bricks were thrown
from chimneys and plastering was knock
ed down.
The reports indicate that the movement
was from southeast to northwest.
At several points in the southwest there
was snow last night.
No seismic disturbances seem to have
been felt in the Shenandoah valley.
Lynchburg. Va, May ga very percep-
tible earthquake shock was felt here at
1915 o'clock to-day. Specials from Bed
ford City. Wytheville and Pulaski show
that it was also felt through the soutn-
west. Three shocks at different hours
in the afternoon were reported from
Wytheville and Pulaski.
Charlotte, N. c., May 3.--Winston, FL

A special from Winston NJ. c., says: "a
distinct earthquake shock was felt here
to-day at 2:17. 1t lasted three or four sec
onds but did no damage"
