for several days yet. Immediately the
cases were reported President Taylol
called meeting of the student body
and laid the facts in the case before
them, with the result that about nine

Echo of Cotton Slump a Year AGO.

Shreveport, La: Judge Bell in the
district court mere handed down de-
cision in the suit for $l7,929.05 of E. G
Scales & Co., cotton brokers, VS.. J
Henry Shepherd. This is an echo OF
the great crash in cotton just about a
year ago, when cotton came tumblIng
down a hundred points a day just after
reaching a climax of Is cents. Judge
Bell gives the plaintiff $7,17S.01. He
decides that plaintiff should have exc
cuted stop order, and therefore gives
defendant credit for the amount that
would nave been saved to him had
they executed such stop order. The
defendant put in the plea that they
were gambling contracts and not en-
forcible, but Judge Bell finds, after
quoting one of the contracts:
In the face of this clearly eX
pressed understanding as to actual de
livery and the settled decisions requir
ing mutual understanding that no
delivery is to be had, that part of the
defense that said purchases were gam
bling contracts need not further be

SHIPS TOWED BY lCEBERGS.
Great Masses Move Against Wind
and Vessels Are Moored to Them.

1t has been found that the currents
round the coast of Newfoundland
make at times wide difference in the
direction of the drift of icebergs and
that of the fat or pan ice, which, hay
ing no great depth, is governed in its
motions by the surface currents and
the winds.
The icebergs, the larger part OF
which are submerged to great depth
says the New York Herald, follow
only the movements Of the ocean
water as a whole and are influenced
by the winds. Thus a huge iceberg
may often be seen majestically main
tanning its slow advance in opposition
to the wind and across the general
motion Of the fields Of fiat ice sur
rounding it. The sealers often take
advantage Of this fact by mooring
their vessels to an iceberg to prevent
their ship drifting to leeward. The
movement of these great mountains
Of ice is practically irresistible.

how the affair started, but Flowers
was seen shortly afterward lying. in
the weeds with dagger through his
back dying. Two Mexicans are now
under arrest and two more are fugi.
tives from justice. The injured have
been placed in the hospital. The men
were employed as section hands on
the Southern Pacific railroad.

Thousands OF Cattle Die.

San Angelo: Hundreds Of cattle
froze to death on the prairies in the
counties surrounding this place during
the recent billiards. and thousands OF
dollars Of damage were done the stock
interests of Western Texas Reports
are being received from the different
ranches throughout the section and it
is learned that the loss is very much
heavier than was looked for. Where
cattle were fat and in excellent con-
dition but little loss was experienced,
but stock not in such condition was
in many instances frozen to death. A
cattleman named Elder in Schletcher
county had an eight-year-old bull to
freeze to death. This is very unus-
ual thing in the annals of livestock
raising in West Texas, for an old bull
is about as tough as any beast that
walks the earth. One ranch in Tom
Green county had sixty head OF cattle
to freeze in one blizzard

authorities at Washington having in
charge the ceremonies incident to the
Inauguration of President Roosevelt,
stating that the authorities would be
glad to receive eleven pupils from the
high schools of Louisiana instead Of
five. Several weeks ago Governor
Blanchard received a letter from the
inaugural committee requesting that
five pupils from the public schools OF
Louisiana be appointed to participate
in the inaugural ceremonies. This let
ter was referred to the superintendent
Of the high school of New Orleans
with the request that the pupils, if
possible, be appointed. Not five, but
eleven, young students were anxious
to go TO Washington as representa-

The Importance that Attaches to the Care

The Importance that Attaches to the Care
of the Blood IfOne Wants Bright Eyes
and Clear Complexion.
Every sensible woman naturally wishes
toappear attractive. She knows the value
of bright eyes, delicate complexion and
lively spirits. She knows also tina.
good health is at the basis of her charms,
and that good blood is the source of good
health.
Miss Mamie Conway has complexion
which is the admiration of all who know
her. Asked if she could make any sug.
gestions that would be helpful to others
less fortunate. she said:
"My complexion would not have
pleased you, if you had seen it two years
ago. 1t was then about as bad as it
could be, and it gave me a great deal Of
dissatisfaction. If you want good
complexion you must take care of your
health, especially of the condition of
your blood My health was at that time
completely broken down. was nervous,
had frequent headaches, torpid liver
and great deal Of pain in that region.
| suffered also from indigestion. 1t was
clear that my blood was in bad condition,
for pimples broke out all over my face"
"It is hard to realize that, for there
isn't the slightest trace of such blem"
ishes now"
ut was unfortunately quite other
wise then, and long time passed before
I found anything that gave me any re-
lief. I became very weak and istless.
The doctors medicine did me no good,
and took q number of highly recon-
mended tonics with no better result.
As soon, however, as began to use DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People my
complexion cleared up, and after | had
taken two boxes there was not a sign OF
a pimple left Oh my face. My cheeks
became rosy, gained flesh and have had
perfect health ever since"
Rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes are
merely signs of healthy blood. They have
come not only in the cease Of Miss Conway,
whose home is at l24l East Eighth street.
Canton, Ohio, but to thousands of
women for whom DR.. Williams Pink
Pills have made new blood. There is no
surcr way for YOU to obtain them, than to
buy box of these pills from any drug
gistand try them for yourself. They cor
