Dallas. Tex. March 12.-Attorney General
Charles K Bell arrived at Dallas from AUS

general surprise. particularly among lead

nciaIS. by his view on the United States
Supreme Courts decision against the con-
stltutionality of the Illinois antitrust law.
N-. Bell gave Il as his opinion that the
decision sounds the doom of the Texas anti

the same exemptions that the Supreme
Court declares inval.dates the Illinois law.
He said:
I have not seen the text OF the decision.
and. therefore. cannot speak altogether

believe that II has the effect of annullng

Time was when the foreign manu-
facturer sold his goods to an ex-

THE MEYER STORE has elimi-

promises to give to each customer
the benefit of all the saving.
Take Laces and Embroideries for
example. Instead of buying in the
old roundabout way through mid
dlemen. paying several profits,
getting the goods after months of
delay and frequently being told
that the styles most wanted are
out" THE MEYER STORE sends
Its own buyer directly to the manu-
facturers in st. Gall, Plauen and
the other European trade centers.
He selects the styles that he knows
you want, gets them at the first
and lowest cost, and ships them dl-
rectly to St. Louis. They come
through as fast as steam can bring
them. and are cleared through the
customhouse on Olive street only
few days after they are selected
In Europe.
The buyer OF Laces and En-
broideries for THE MEYER
STORE has been for twenty years
an importer of these goods. He
has spent six mo i tbs of each year
abroad. thus keeping in close touch
not only with your needs but with
every phase OF manufacturing pos

NOTED SOUTHERN DIVINE DEAD.

jackson. Miss. March I2-Doctor ] w.
Harmon. one OF the most distinguished
Methodist divines in the South, died yester-
day at his home in Pauiding, and the re-
mains were inferred In Jackson to-day. He
was one Of the abiest pulpit orators in his
church. and achieved no small amount OF
fame by his celebrated prayer delivered be-
lore the Mississippi Legislature on the occa-
sion of the adoption OF an ordinance declar-
Ing that ministers should shoulder guns and
go to the front The Federal troops had
taken possession of Jackson. and the seat OF
government had been removed temporarily
TO Macon. Doctor Harmon was invited to
open the morning session with PRAYER, and
after the usual preliminaries he said:
We pray. therefore. TOR the members of
the Mississippi Legislature. for they have
laid violent hands upon the ordained min
tstry Of thy church. thrusting them into the
field of carnage and bidding them go forth
as messengers of wrath and blood instead OF
messengers OF peace and good will.
20 thou God OF justice. for this wicked act
of legs Station. which stands out in all its
gloomy isolation without a parallel in the
world. we invoke the paI doning power
20 Lord God. let not this wicked leg!sla-
ton fail with terrible disaster upon the
heads of our people. We leave ourselves un-
der thy protection. and let not thy mercy
depart. Amen
The effect of the prayer was to cause an
immediate reversal of the order for clergy
men to shoulder arms. which WAS done by
an almost unanimous vote.
