At its meeting last night the council
discussed the ad%yisability of replacing
the 12O incandescent lights used in
lighting the streets Of the city with
arc lamps, figuring that with exactly
the same amount of money the city
could secure from twelve TO fourteen
arcs that would do better service MAI
the present lamps used. The electric
light company is now testing a lamp
that will consume less electricity thar
the ordinary arc lamp and furnish, it
is claimed, better light, and as a test
will erect one at the corner of Third
and Custer streets. The matter of
changing the system will be taken up
with the company later.

The council also discussed the ear

The New Sporting Annual.

That greatest of standard authori.
ties, the Police Gazette Sporting An
nual,' published by Richard X. Fox,
Franklin Square, New York, has just
been issued for 1908, and the many new
records have increased its size but not
its price. 1t contains records of base
ball, bicycling, ~trotting, jumping, foot.
ball, racing, aquatics, and all athletic
sports. The main feature of the book,
however, is the pugilistic records, and
many pages are devoted to that popu-
lar branch of sport. This great book
is made doubly attractive by its high
class illustrations and photos of The
champions. 1t is authentic and relia-
BILE and stands today an authority on
the subjects upon which it treats. The
price Is ten cents; postage two cents
extra.

No Presents, by Request.

come a common enough sentence in

of betrothals? We warmly commend
the courage of the young couple who
have thus boldly withstood the tyrant
fashion; have relieved their friends of
an annoying, if petty, tax; and their
future home from being Uttered with
worthless trumpery.

MAKE THE M WORK
Indigestion Can Never be Cured by
MoIlycoddlIng.

Don't try to cure your stomach tron-
BILE by coaXing, fussing, dieting aud
mollycoddling. Make the organ work.
If it cannot take care of the food you
eat without complaints such as fiatu-
lence, Indigestion, headaches, and the
feeling of fullness or distress, make
it's muscles work by using Mona
stomach tablets.
The time to treat a disordered or
weakened stomach is when you begin
to suspect that you have Indigestion.
or the suspicion will turf to certainty
very soon. The heartburn, the flatu-
lence, the coated tongue and heavy
and dull feeling after eating that come
occasionally after you eat too much
of something that does not agree with
you, can all be cured by Mona.

In General.
In reviewing the work Of the coun-
Gil for the past three years, L Will
mention very briefly a few Of the acts
and problems that the administration
has passed upon.
On taking hold of the administration
the council found ltsef without 1undS'
there being a balance OF $1,000,
for which warrants had been issued IN
January by the outgoing administra'
ton. There was also a balance unpaid
on sewer contracts that mad TO De pro-
vided for. The council promptly de-
cided that it would be necessary %
levy 10 mills in order to meet the ex'
penses, and also to provide a sinking
fund for the redemption of outstapd'
ing bonds as required by law. If this
had been done sooner the city would
now be fairly well out OF debt.
Opening of Rolling Mills.
Aided by the Commercial | u and
prominent citizens generally, negotla
lions with the Union Pacific Railroad
company resulted in the opening ana
operation of the rolling mills. Being
unable to secure an agreement with
the old Laramie Gas Light. and Fuel
company, the city consumated a con
tract with another company, which has
resulted in great saving to the city and
a plant that is gradually being put in
the best of shape.
