TO STOP GAMBLING


During the past few days the police
nave been Exceptionally busy with
small gambling games, and II is
thought that there is so much of It
goinT on In the city at. present that
me Cheers are keeping closer look
out than ever for these kind OF vio-
lators Of the law. The officers are
bothered with petty crap games. usual
" engaged In by negroes, but IL is
seldom that they have to keep, their
eyes open for fun fledged poker games
in which white men take part. How
ever. since January l things have been
different, and as a result the police blot.
ter since that time shows a large
number OF names OF white men who
have been caught gaming.
& Last Saturday night the officers were
on the run all night looking for games
and succeeded in landing number
behind the bars Monday night. after
carefully spotting a place three de-
tectfves walked in and found a pretty
little six handed poker game in pro-
gress. The men were all taken to
headquarters where bonds were made
immediately. Some OF the cases will
come up In the recorders court but
the most OF them will pay up and
say nothing about 1t.
owing to the strenuous efforts of the
police some time ago nearly all of the
gambling In the city was stopped and
as gamblers knew that they would be
raided IL they opened up a place they
did not try to violate the law. These
games that have been suddenly stopped
by the officers since January ! have
not been the kind run by house man,
but have been private games that hap
pened to be played in public places.
Police officers who have long kept
up with Montgomery and the different
violations of the law state that many
OF the games are started because nen
are kept out OF the saloons after 8
o'clock ct night. They say that they
infer this from the fact that they sell
dom arrested white men for gambling
before january /. that is after the time
city. Several places where At is
thought gambling Is going on are be-
Ing watched now and the officers are
doing all in their power to break up
the practice.

A Lazy Liver

May be only 8 tired liver, or starved liver. It would be a stupid as well as savage thing to beat weary or starved man because he Jagged in his work. So in treating the tagging, torpid liver 1t Is . great mistake to lash 1t with strong drastic drugs. A torpid liver is but an indication of an ill-nourished, enfeebled body whose organs are weary with over work. Start with the stomach and allied organs of digestion and nutrition. Put them in working order and see how quickly your liver will become active. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has made many marvellous cures of "lver trouble ",by it's wonderful control of the organs of digestion and nutrition. It re- stores the normal activity of the stomach, increases the secretions of the blOod-mak- ing glands, cleanses the system from poi sonous accumulations, and so relieves the liver of the burdens imposed upon 1t by the defection of other organs.

MT. Donaghey. shortly before the primary election, issued a statement in which he said he be- lieved he would have pluralities in about 50 counties, and for this he was severely criticised by his op- ponents. The official returns show that he had pluralities in forty eight counties and that he lost twelve other counties, as follows, Clay, Cleveland, Crawford, Dallas, Franklin. Grant, Howard, John son Lafayette, Montgomery, Polk, and Ouachita, by an aggregate plurality of I272 votes. Thus, a change of a little more than fifty votes in each of these counties would have given them all to him and would have brought the total number carried by him up to sixty. Instead of an arrogant boast, 1t looks to us like pretty good VueSS.
