DOCTOR the blacksmith" the United
States mail carrier" and other business

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few years
it was supposed to be incurable. For
great many years doctors pronounced 1T
a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced 1t
incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be a constitutional disease and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. 7. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
1t is taken internally in doses from %
drops to a teaspoonful. 1t acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces OF the
system. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for

A COTTON SEED COMBINE.
THE WACO GRAND jury is ~
vEsTiGAIrNG.
Judge scott, In his Clarke, Say. lie
rhials There Il Such Trust In
Texas and That the Law Asain.,
IL Should be Enforced.

Waco, Tex Sept. ls--The grand
jury now in session is engaged in in-
vesugating the price OF cotton seed
and whether or not its price is not con-
rollcd or dictated by a trust. This
action is due TO recent charge By
Judge S. r. Scott Of the Nineteenth
district court In this charge he said
in part;
Il believe we ought to enforce all
laws and then II we hnd any Of them
are Injurious TO the public they can
be repealed, Accordingly have
thought proper and necessary to give
you a special charge on the subject
OF trusts and combines relating to
trade and commerce. have good rea-
son to believe that there exists among
the dealers or manufacturers OF cotton
seed oil combination to control the
price OF cotton seed do not think
any one will deny that such a COM
hination exists, II is universally un-
derstood 10 DO the case especially In
the last few days. knowing that such
a combination as believed the cotton
oil mills had formed was in violation OF
the penal laws OF this state felt II
my duty to call your attention 70 the
facts in order that you may Investigate
and mud whether or not such unlawfui
combinations exist. The fact that the
price OF cotton seed IL uniform all over
the state Ia conclusive evidence In my
mind that a conspiracy OF the kind
described exists and the question for
you to determine Is whether any citi-
zen or citizens or this county IL a mems
Der thereof The law provides ample
remedy for such violations aud Il only
remains for you to do your duty what
Is true Of cotton seed dealers Is true
or many other dealers In articles OF
commerce, as the history OF the opera
tons OF the coal oil companies proved.
Dry goods and other mercantile pro-
duets are often handled under CON
tract IN which the merchant agrees
to handle Il certain article and the
seller agrees 10 furnish no other NOR
hant in certain territory with the
same goods. In this way stipulated
price IN maintained which could not be
done II there We're no restrictions upon
trade Such cases come clearly under
the statute. The law also provides
that whore corporation enters into
combination OF any character. the att
torncy-gencral, tho district or county
attorney can Institute suit 10 forfeit
the charter. The necessity FOR laws
10 punish trusts or combinations has
been recognized In other states and
also by the United states government
und congress has enacted laws for
their punishment In many OF the
states the law against such unlawful
combination has been enforced with
good effect and see no reason why It
can not be done In Texas"
The managers OF the Consumers OH
| company and the Bruoevllle company
have been summoned 20 testify, and
the investigation will embrace the OK
examination OF all persons whom II Is
1 on the subject,
