All Rufferer* from weakness or disor-

with lively interest the story of the com-
plete recovery of Mrs. Nottiie Darvoux
from chrouio dyspepsia which was
thought to be incurable.
| ” To be ailing for uiue years is not a
very pleasant experience,” Said Mrs,
Darvonx, when asked for some account
of her illness. " For two years I was
critically ill and coaid not attend to »iy
household duties, and at one time I was
so weak and miserable that I could not
even walk. My trouble was chronic dys-
pepsia. I became extremely thin and
had a sallow complexion. I had no np-
petite and could not take any food with-
out suffering great distress.”
" Did you have a physician ?”
•* Yes, I took medicine from a dozen
different doctors, but without getting
any benefit whntever.”

cure?”

by that remedy that he imme-

and insisted on my taking them.”
“Did they help yon at once?”
” I began to feel better the second day
after I started to use the pills and by the
ttme I had taken the three boxes I was
entirely well. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
can core even when doctors fail, and
they cure thoroughly, for a long time
has passed since my restoration to health
and I know it is complete and lasting.”
i The surest way to make sound diges-
tion is to give strength to the organs con-
cerned. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills give
new vigor to the blood. No other rem-
edy yields snch radical results.

Pure Water Unhealthy.
Pure water is rarely used as & bev-

purpose, because of the great difficulty
of preparing It. Only in vessels of

pared by repeated distillation in a pure
state. The ordinary drinking water
contains more or less mineral sub-
stances and and organic matter in so-

pure water would be unwholesome, be-
cause, carrying no mineral or Other

Austin, Tex., April 11.—Shortly
after convening yesterday morning
the Senate adopted the House con-
current resolution providing for
sine die adjournment at noon next
Saturday, April 15. and afterward
cinched the thing by tabling a mo-
tion to reconsider the vote by which
the resolution was adopted.
Gov. Lanham, it is known, was
opposed to having a special session,
lie thought the Legislature should
continue the regular session until it
had passed the general appropria-
tion bill. But he can not veto the
resplution providing for sine die ad-
pournment. It is understood that
he will reconvene the Legislature in
special session immediately the reg-
ular session closes. There is much
speculation as to whether or not lie
will submit any other matter than
the appropriation bill. Some Legis-
lators, who are- understood to be
close to him, say they think he will
submit the anti-free pass bill and
the anti-nepotism bill. Others ex-
press the contrary opinion. The
anti- nepotism bill passed the Sen-
ate, hut has never been reached in
the House. The anti-free pass hill
has been twice reached, and was
postponed the last time until 2:30
p. m. April 15, just two hours and
a half later than the time which
has been decided upon for quitting.
The status of business at this
time indicates that some of the
most important measures will fail.
The opinion is quite prevalent thrit
the Senate will not pass the general
election law; in fact, it is probable
that that measure may be recom-
mitted.
As soon as the Senate adopted
the adjournment resolution the
House awoke from the lethargy
which has rested upon it during the
last fortnight and began the ‘‘grand
rush” to railroad bills through. .
Judicial calm gave wav to ner-
vousness and excitability. Members
were so anxious to get their own pet
measures through that when one of
the number got the floor to move
Alleged to Contain Private Reoorda
of the Trust
Chicago, 111., April 11.—Six mys-
terious trunks, which are under-
stood to contain a complete set of
secret records of the transactions
of the alleged beef trust, were sud-
denly seized by the Federal Govern-
ment this afternoon as a result of
disclosures made to the Federal
Grand Jury. *
The seizure of the trunks and the
efforts of the Government officials
to keep the fact a secret afforded the
most sensational development of the
investigation. The trunks were tak-
en from the safety deposit vaults of
the National Safety Deposit Compa-
ny. in the First National Bank
Building, on subpena duces tecum
issued by Judge Kenesaw M. Landis
shortly after 2 o’clock.
District Attorney Harrison in-
stituted the action bv which the
trunks were seized, after a witness,
whose identity is carefully guarded,
had startled the Grand Jurors with
revelations as to former business
methods of the packers. He is said
to have stated that a double system
of bookkeeping had been employed
by certain packing firms, one set of
hooks showing the secret relations
of the alleged combine and being ac-
cessible only to trusted employes,
and the other set of books showing
figures to which the packers invited
the attention of the Government ex-
perts who made the investigations
for Commissioner Garfield.

been loaded, although it was suppos-
