CULBERSON'S
SPECIAL BILLS.
The Second Irrigation and Land
Bills Both Unconstitutional.

Austin, Tex, April To-
Twice during the present SEES
sion of The Legislature bills
have been passed at the sug-
gestion of Governor Culberson
amending other bills which had
been signed by both the presi-
dent Of the senate and the
speaker Of the house and sent
to his eXcellency. In both cases
the bills referred to, namely,
the irrigation bill and the gen
eral land bill, had passed out
of the control of the Legislative
branch and had been neither
approved, vetoed nor became
laws without the governors
signature. In view of the fact
that there is a long unbroken
chain of decisions to the effect
that a Legislative body can not
amend bills which have gone
to the governor until acted up
on one way or the other by
him, it is now being suggested
that Notwithstanding his great
penchant for raising constitu-
tional objections to this or that
measure, his eXcellency is not
on any too intimate terms with
the constitution himself. Had
he reflected a little Mr.. Culber
son might have called to mind
that in the case of Mccall VS..
Pickle, which he tried himself,
! the late Chief Justice Stayton
decided that there must be a
time when bills are out OF the
control of the legislature, and
when the governors veto power
could not practically be sus-
pended by amendments. TAX
ing Judge stayton's opinion as
authority, it is now advanced
that the irrigation bill and the
general land bill, as they orig
inally went to the governor, are
now the law, and that the bills
amendatory thereto prepared
by Mr.. Culberson himself anc
passed at his dictation, are al
absolute nullity and so mucl
: surplusage upon the statutes

Thursday Nights Storm.

Several places were struck by the
lightning during the fierce electric storm
of Thursday eveing.
The lightning struck the house OF
Moses Dyer's on Green Island, breaking
in the roof. Mr.. Dyer and his family
were out at the time.
In Deering at Woodfords, the building
in which Neven's laundry is located was
struck but not damaged. Mr.. Herbert
Leighton was so affected by the shock he
had to be carried home.

damaged. The only occupant OF the
house at the time was an old lady who
was rendered unconscious by the shock
but was not dangerously injured. The
shower was accompanied by a high wind
which wrought sad havoc among the
fruit trees.
At the Cape Thursday the lightning
struck the flag staff on Bluff cottage and
splintered it the entire length, ripped a
large lot of shingles from the roof and
knocked off the chimney cap and scat
tered ashes throughout the cottage.

INDIGESTION.

from the Standard Union. Brooklyn. N. Y.
Few women have had more miserable
existence and lived to tell the tale than
Mrs Anna L. Smith of 81 Pulaski Ave-
nue., Brooklyn With all the comforts that
money affords, with all the happiness
that many loving friends can give, the joy
of Mrs. Smiths life was blasted for
years by the terrible ravages of sickness.
The story is most interesting as told to a
reporter:
''I was an invalid for years, suffering
first with one complaint and then with
another. My case was truly that of a
complication of diseases, due to an ACCT
dent which 1 received some years ago.
The thing which caused me the most dis
comfort and made me offensive to my
family was the worst case OF indigestion
imaginable. / made all around me mis-
cradle by my sufferings, and was most
miserable myself / had the best physi-
oian we coud find, and occasionally his
prescriptions relieved me temporarily
But the pains and misery would all soon
return again. I became desperate, and
started in to try remedies of which / read.
Among them were the Pink Pills. Their
appearance captivated me instantly, for
I am great believer in the beautiful. l
took the pills and followed out the direc-
lions to the letter, and before many days l
began to feel like different woman. For
SIX weeks UOOk bilo pins regularly, auo
/ can truthfully add after that was as
we'll as any one in the family. This
change for the better in my condition has
caused my relatives and friends to take
the pills.
81 assure you it was impossible for me
to oversee my household for three years.
Now visit my Kitchen every day, do my
own marketing and shopping; in word,
look after everything connected with my
home ana family
"Oh, yes, still keep taking the pills.
I take one daily after dinner. Prevention,
YOU know, is better and cheaper than
cure.
verify believe one half of the women
who are suffering from the ills which our
sex are heir to would be up and we'll If
they could be induced to give tho Pink
Pills fair trial. certainly recommend
them heartily and feel grateful to the
physician who put them on tho market"
