OUR AUSTIN LETTER.
Culberson's Veto Commended
by a Former Californian
Drouth Terrible.

The Legislature is still ham
mering away, the senate for
the past few days wrangling
most Of the time over the anti
trust bill. 1t is curious to note
in this connection that the big
Four" is roundly denounced by
the demagogues and the press
in the great beef eating centers
for forcing the price of beef
products up. Up to a few
months ago the "Big Four"
were "cussed" out for depress-
ing prices and for several years
here in Texas and in other cat
tie growing states low prices
have been laid at the door of
of the big Four" and a con-
vention was held in this city a
few years ago, its main object
being to denounce them. If the
price ola commodity goes down
the trusts are denounced. The
trust is a great bug-bear to the
average politician. The truth
about the whole business is
that the memorable law of sup
ply and demand rule prices in
spite of trusts, combinations or
anything else. The trust bill
referred to may get through the
legislature but it is doubtful.

originally sentenced to death, but the
verdict of the court was changed to i'm
prisonment by President Dole This
means that no capital punishment will be
inflicted on the leaders of the rebellion.
1t appears thai the president has been OPP
posed to executions, and his feelings were
shared by members of the cabinet.
The other sentences are: Thomas Walk
er, 30 years and a fine of $4,000; Carl
Widemann, 30 years; William Greig 90
years; Louis Marshall, 20 years. The last
two We're fined $4,000 each. James c.

for the better was very gradual; the pains

using about one bottle. Then improve

surprised us greatly by telling us that we
need not prop her up in bed as we had
one for several months, and next night
she surprised us still more by rolling
over across the bed. From that time on
