To Chapple Drug Co.
Dear Sirs: AS agent for the Fulton
Compounds in Billings there are some
facts in the Call office in this city
that should interest you and the edi;
tor of The Gazette, as well as news.
paper men generally. We copy now
from a letter from Clifford House of
the Call:
However improbable may seem the
statement that Bright's Disease and
Diabetes r O durable in a great
majority of all cases, it is well within
the province of some of us in the
business department of the Call to
know that it is true. Mr.. Edward
Short of this department was given
up by his physicians as a victim of
Diabetes. and is now perfectly well.
The mother of n of the editorial
staff has also recovered from Dia-
betes. This was SO conclusive that
| told a friend, a well-to-do citizen
of Duluth, Mimi, who had Bright's
Disease, and he too recovered"
We will also add that an ex-supreme
judge, with Offices in the Call building,
is a late recovery. You are authorized
to proclaim to the world that the most
deadly diseases known, viz: Bright's
Disease and Diabetes, yield to the new
diuretics evolved during experiments
made upon himself by John J. Fulton
of this city in his memorable and
successful struggle against the raw
ages of Bright's Disease.
Yours very trply,
THE JOHN J. FULTON co.

The Laramie fire department held a
meeting last night, with Chief Leni-

cumulated routine business. The de-
partment recommended the purchase
of a dozen of the d%rypowder fire ex-
tinguishers to be used by the different

will buy them. They will be carried by
those members of the different hose
companies most likely to reach the
scene of the fire first, and may be Of
benefit in preventing fire.
The members of the department dis
cussed the proposed removal of the
engine from the city hall to the hose
house at Third and Garfield streets.
One of them, in speaking of the matter
this morning. said he looked for the
change to be ordered. The Boston
Hotel company will soon begin the
effectually cutting the fire department
of Second and University avenue, he
said. and the building will occupy all
the room belonging to the company in
the rear of the Interstate Townsite
company's building, coming up to the
very walls Of the city Jail and thus
effectually cutting the fire department
from the alley back of the Jail.
AS it is now. there is room back of
the Interstate building that the fire
men are using for egress of teams haul.
ing manure and other refuse matter
from the city hall. and when this is
closed up, there you are" with no
way Of getting out.
Besides, 1t was pointed out that the
new library would not be ready for oc-
cupancy for at least a year, and the
smell from the stalls of the horses, Of
~fensive at present, will be doubly SO in
warm weather. The member quoted
said he believed the change would be
made before long.
The matter of the removal of the
West Side house from its present loca-
ton to a lot nearer the railroad cross
ing was also under discussion. 1t is be-
lieved this change will also be ordered
by the fire department committee Of
the city council.

character sketches deal with James
Brooks Dill, the prominent corporation
lawyer, and Edward Henry Hartman,
the western railroad car. Ebert Hub
bard, in an article on "A Gladiatorial
Renaissance" makes out a strong East
against football as it is played today,
and Tom Mason discusses how many
men a girl should be engaged to before
she marries. THE Woman of Fifty"
by Mrs. Wilson Woodrow. deals with
the victory of modern over her
hereditary enemy, Time. Other articles

SPECIAL
MEETING OF THE COUNCIL TO BE
HELD ON THE LIBRARY SITE
MATTER MONDAY.
Council Will be Asked to Donate Mon
ey for Purchase Of site at the Cor
ner of Fourth and Grand Avenue
Call Issued by Mayor Miller
This Afternoon.

A special meeting of the city coun
Gil has been called for next Monday
evening, at the city hall, when the
question of the donation of money for
purchase of a site for the location of
the Carnegie library will be taken up.
1t is shown that a tax of LIS mills will
provide the funds for the site, and that
it will be a saving to the city owe the
present arrangements with the Albany
county library.
The city now pays for the mainten.
ance of the library about 500 a month
and the council has virtually agreed
to contine it in the event of the estab'
lishment of a Carnegie library. This
amount to $24O a year.
To borrow the sum necessary to pur.
chase the site proposed at 6 per cent
would entail an annual expen.
diture in interest of only about $3.50 a
year. This is $50 less than the amount
now paid.
The county commissioners having
voted to levy a tax for the mainten-
ance of the library building, the duty
of the council will cease when that
levy is made and the taxes are collect
ed. so that the city's share of the ex-
pense will not be burdensome should
the council decide to levy the tax pro
posed to be levied when the special
session is held Monday night.
1t is also pointed out by the gentlemen
having the matter in hand that of the
100000 valuation of the county for
the purpose Of taxation, the city of
Laramie and the Union Pacifiv Rail-
road company pay on a valuation
equal to more than half of this sum,
so that the burden would not fall upon
the people outside of the city to a great
extent.
The site agreed upon by a number
OF gentlemen interested in the matter,
and upon which they have secured
such assurances as lead them to be-
lieve that it ian be purchased, is what
is known as the Wanless property. at
the northeast corner Of Fourth and
Grand avenue, facing the Baptist
church, lots Z and 8, block 1S9. 1t is an
ideal location. The Methodists will
build a fine church on the opposite cor
ner of the block, and its purchase for
