STARTED ON
NEW STORES
HOLIDAY COMPANY DEMOLISH-
ING OLD SECOND STREET
BUILDING FOR NEW ONE.
Will Be Two Stories High, One for
Model Market and Other for Other
Business Purposes-Good Outlook
in Residence Section for New
Houses and Much Repairing.

The w. H. Holiday company this
morning began the work of tearing
down the empty market building on
Second street, near the r of
Grand avenue, which is to be replaced
with a modern two-story business
building, both on the lot occupied by
that building and the one occupied by
the Office and store room of the J..
Thornburgh Jones Electrical company.
]. 7. Holiday, superintendent Of the
building department of the Holiday
company, stated this morning that the
new buildings would be "a by 20 feet
each, of brick. stone, iron and glass,
and would be modern in every way.
The one on the lot furtherst south will
be occupied by the Model market, being
built for Weightman Bros, the other
not yet having been leased so that the
announcement can be made. Mr. Hol-
liday will go to Denver tonight or to-
morrow in connection with these and
other buildings, looking after material
to be used in their construction.
New Third Street Store.
1t is probable that work will begin
on the Chaplin and Westveer two-story
building on Third street between
Grand avenue and Thornburgh street,
within the next few days. This will be
modern in every way, and will be &C,
cupied as a store and office for the
Laramie Light and Power company,
the lease having been already entered
into.
Several New Residences.
There will be several new residence:
during the summer, from the present
outlook. The plans for A. T. Fosters
home on Sixth street, between Gar
field and Custer, have been drawn and
some Of the stone for the foundation
delivered on the site. 1t is considered
altogether likely that a parsonage fol
the German Evangelical church will
be erected in the same block during
the coming summer, facing on Gar
field street.
Homes on Ninth Street.
Jacob Berner, the contractor, is plan
ming to erect a home on his lot at the
corner of Ninth and Custer streets
and the probability that E. N. Roger.
will build on the adjoining lot seem!
almost a certainty. There is a pos
sibility of a house during the summe
at the corner of Ninth and Custer
although the owner of the lot is diff
ficult to get into communication with
being a nonresident.
The Presbyterian church is being
finished and the contractor hopes tc
have the new Baptist church enclosed
and ready for the finishing during the
coming summer.
Much Repairing Planned.
An immense amount of repairing
and improving is contemplated, hardly
a block in the thickest sections of the
city but will see something of this
sort. The painters say there is a
splendid outlook and the condition OF
the labor market among the building
trades is indicative of a good summer

trustees Of the Albany County and In
ter-Mountain Fair association, at the

Citations at Fort Collins, Loveland,
Greeley, Laramie mi other points, and

fair to the other without loss of time
or too great expense. Laramie hopes
to benefit by some of the races in the
circuit, making a better showing on
the track than ever before.
To Revise Premium List,
A committee consisting Of Messrs.
Atherly n Kuster was named to re-
wise the premium list, and no time will
be lost in getting this in shape for
distribution among prospective exhib-
itors. The fair last year was more sue
cessful in this respect than the one
beforehand it is hoped to make the com.
ing fair ever better than last. More
attention will be paid to certain de-
partments.
At Work for Specials.
Members of the association are al
ready at work upon the special premi-
UNI list, and also securing agreements
of stockmen for larger exhibits, and

sion more than an hour, some routine
matters having been disposed of in ad-
dition to those outlined above.

TO AMEND THE CONSTITUTION.
Sentiment in the Nation Said to Be
Slowly crystalllzlna.

There is slowly crystallinzing a SEN
timent in favor of convention to be
held to amend the constitution Of the
United States. The sentiment is not
restricted to any one particular local
ity, but it seems is taking root pretty
generally. tbs the consensus OF opin-
ion in these circles that the highly de-
veloped and complex civilization of the
country presents problems that de-
serve the attention OF the mater minds
of the nation at this time.
The list of topics which has formed
the basis of suggested constitutional
amendments in the past need not be
rehearsed here in detail. 1t is long
list and includes many topics which
would not be likely to receive serious
consideration.
Some of the most important matters
which would collie before the con
vention, however, would be as fol
lows:
Enlarging the presidential term &c
six years and making the president
ineligible for reelection
Uniform marriage and divorce laws
throughout the union.
Election of United States senators
by the direct vote of the people.
Female suffrage.
Providing for the immediate assem-
bling of congress after election.
Changing the date of inauguration
day.
Authorizing the president to vet
single items in appropriation bills.
Restricting the veto power OF tn
president so that it will be less diff
cult for congress to pass any measur
over his veto.
To decline more clearly the jurisdi
ton of the courts in their relation
the legislative branch OF the COVER
ment.
These are few of the topics whic
J have been suggested as affording
ct reason why a constitutional conve
y ton should be called. Many othe
E, would doubtless be considered.

No external remedy ever yet devised
has so fully and unquestionably met
these three prime conditions
as successfully as Allcock's
Plasters. They are safe be-
cause they contain no deleterious
drugs and are manufactured upon sci
tentiic principals of medicine. They
are sure because nothing goes into
them except ingredients which are ex-
actly adapted to the purposes for
which a plaster is required. They are
speedy in their action because their
medicinal qualities go right to their
work of relieving pain and restoring
the natural and healthy performance
Of the functions of muscles, nerves and
skin.

and genuine porous plasters and, like
