PLIGHT OF THE McURDYs.

Suit has been brought against the
McCurdys direct for approximately g
million dollars.
1t is alleged in the complaint that
Robert IL. McCurdy's profits derived
from his interests in the firm of c. II
Raymond & Co, metropolitan agents
for the Mutual Lifo Insurance com
pany, amounted to s530,000 in the ten
years prior to 1898. After he was
made superintendent of the foreign de-
partment of the Mutual Life in 1880
1t is asserted that he continued his
connection with Raymond & Co, but
that it was his duty to devote his entire
time and energy to his new office.
1t is charged that Richard A. Nc
Curdy conspired with his son to place
the commissions derived by Robert on
such a basis as to prevent their reduc-
ton when the business increased and
the allegation is made that the defend
ants knew that the commissions were
exorbitant but concealed the informa.
ton from the board of trustees.
According to the complaint Robert
p. McCurdy received in commissions
between 1856 and 1906 the sum of
s1,2S5,S4l.
A just compensation for his services
while superintendent of the foreign de
partment is declared in the complaint
to be $4,000 a year prior to 1889; S15,.
600 a year up to 1896 and g $1,000 a year
thereafter until he resigned.

THE WATER VOTE.

Laramie does not want improvement
in the water system at the present time,
at least not the kind Of Improvement
suggested by the city administration
The vote indicates that little interest
was felt in the matter by the people as
a whole, for little more than one-thirt
of the voters expressed themselves oil
the question.
The main question, that OF the i'm
provement of the Laramie water works,
is stiIi an open one for future city
councils to struggle with. The com
prehensive plan offered by the present
council was deemed too expensive and
the manner of raising the money did
not appear to suit.
In the future as in the past, The Re
publican will stand for Improvement,
and any man who has n good plan for
the betterment of the city will find in
It a champion. Its columns will also be
open to those who desire to fairly dis
cuss the living issues before the people.
The verdict of the people having
been rendered, attention can now be
turned to other plans for improving
the system and other matters for the
building up of the city.

A S1.oon.nnn Benefit Fund.

Nearly $1,000, 900 has been raised in
this country for the benefit of the OPP
pressed in Russia and such an amount,
if properly distributed, cannot fail to
afford relief to thousands of destitute
families. If you want relief from any
ailment brought on by over-eating or
the result of a weak stomach and in.
active liver We urgently recommend a
trial of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. In
thousands of homes it is the main
standby because it has always been
found safe and reliable and always
gives prompt relief, Many cases of
stomach trouble have been cured by
the Bitters after other remedies had
failed. Therefore, get Hostetter's at
the start. 1t cures sick headache, fiat,
ulency, heartburn, co~stiveness, dyspep-
STA, Indigestion, poor appetite, spring
fever, female ills or malaria, fever and
ague.

1t, which has as a rule been discoun-
tenanced in American society, and was
not a characteristic feature of the
whist epidemic, is so strongly associ-
ated with bridge that it seems to be
forcing its way into circles where play
ing cards for money has always hither-
to been frowned upon.
The special and insidious danger OF
bridge lies in its tendency, under the
sanction of social custom, to force
gambling upon those who would other
wise never be tempted to play for mon
ley. Roulette and poker are understood
for what they are and no one is under
compulsion to play at them or go where
they are played. But in one of the
most authoritative of the new books we
read: Proficiency at the game has
become a positive social qualification.
We have more than once heard it said:
L should like to ask so and so, but he
doesn't play bridge Talleyrand
once said to a young man who did not
play cards: What a dismal old age
you are preparing for yourself" But
it is a dismal present, according to
these authorities, hat those who re.
ject bridge bring upon themselves:
"Some few malcontents there be who
still remain obdurate, but they may
safely be allowed to gnash their teeth
in the outer darkness which they have
chosen" Now, if it is true that bridge
is becoming a social passport, without
which there is no admission-nor fol-
that matter anything to be admitted to
lit is the more important that play.
ing cards for money should not become
the conventional practice. There are
plenty of ways to gamble; they might
well be left to the gamblers.

POLITICAL TALK.

The Cheyenne Tribune has the fol.
lowing relating to three candidates for
state treasurer:
The Sheridan Post proposes Edward
Gillette of Sheridan county for state
treasurer and says some mighty nice
things in his favor. Mr.. Gillette was
for years Burlington superintendent in
Wyoming and is a successful business
man and popular citizen of Sheridan.
Laramie county will place Hon. w.
R. Schnitger of this city before the
convention for treasurer and will use
every honorable means to secure his
nomination.
There is nc question about Mr..
Schnitger's ability and many repub-
Leans all over the state think he is
the logical candidate.
"A dispatch from Evanston says Hon.
A. Z. Bradbury, state coal mine inspec.
tor, will be a candidate for state treas
urer. Mr.. Bradbury was prominently
mentioned at the Rawlins convention
four years ago but later withdrew, max
ing the nomination of Hon. H. G. Hay
unanimous. Mr.. Bradbury has a wide
circle of friends all over Wyoming"

sons In ~Sweetwater county n might
present one for every office from gov
ernor down, who would do credit to the
entire state. There is no question but
what Sweetwater county has as good a
right to a place on the state ticket as
any countyin Wyoming, having always
been extremely modest in asking fav-
ors in this direction. Always remain
ing in the background herself, she has
stood ready to assist a neighbour coun,
ty to achieve It's ambition, at whatever
cost to self. and she might well call for
a return of past favors if occasion de-
manded. When the proper time ar
rives, a Sweetwater county man may
step forward and If he does he will cut
some figures in the fun, you can rest
assured.-Rock Springs Miner.

HIDDEN DANGERS
Nature Gives Timely Warning That no
Laramie Citizen Can Afford
to Ignore.

DANGER SIGNAL NO 1 comes from
the kidney secretions. They will warn
you when the kidneys are sick. Wei
kidneys exert a clear, amber fluid. SICK
kidneys send out a thin, pale and
foamy, or a thick, red, illsmelling ur'
inc, full of sediment and irregular OF
passage.
DANGER SIGNAL NO. 2 comes from
the back. Back pains, dull and heavy,
or sharp and acute, tell you of sick
Kidneys and warn you of the coming
of dropsy, diabetes and Bright's dis
ease. Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick
kidneys and cure them permanently.
Here's Laramie proof:
Mrs. Charles Bloom, wife of Charles
Bloom, retired, living at 1011 First
street, says: "My knowledge of Doan's
Kidney Pills dates back owe a yeal

persistently chung to me for month:

that in some way my kidneys required

wyoming
The exaggerated reports that are
sent out from Wyoming whenever any
thing unusual occurs is enough to
cause people to stay away who had any
intention of coming here to make this
state their home. During the recent
snow storm and sever cold weather,
the report was published in the daily
papers throughout the United States
that hundreds of thousands of sheep
and cattle had died, when in fact the
loss did not amount to 2 per cent. And
then when the snow melted and
caused the streams to rise and some
to overflow, we see by a dozen daily
papers that the great Pathfinder dam
has been carried out. and the loss will
amount to at least 800 900; that men
had to fee to the mountain tops and
barely escaped with their lives; that
houses and barnes, horses, cattle and
sheep were coming down the Platte
river in great punches, when in fact
there were only a few bridges and
culverts washed out by the high wa
ters, and not a house, barn or a shed,
not a head of stock has been lost by
the flood" But the people outside
the state do not know tho true condi-
ton, and of course they believe the
published reports, and that is what
is hurting Wyoming and keeping a
great many desirable citizens from
coming here and making this their
permanent abiding place.-Casper

spondent of the Denver Republican
that a disaster caused the wave of re-
form that is just at present sweeping

considerable laxness in the enforce

result nearly all the saloons in the
county opened games. Along came a
freshet and washed out an expensive

the gamblers pay for another structure.

which all questions of public interest
and welfare should be discussed.
