Austin, Tex, Nov, 23.-Confirma- tion was had here Thursday of the report that has been in circulation for several days that H. Clay Pierce of St Louis and New York, president of the Waters Pierce oil company. had been indicted by the grand jury of this county on the charge of false swearing. Applications for Pierce's detention pending the issuing of an extpadition warrant is said to have been mdae to the Missouri authorit- ies, but word has been received that he could not be found. and it is said that he Is in New York.
 The offense with which Pierce is charged was committed in 1900, it is alleged, when he made aff davit to the secretary of state of Texas that none of the stock of the Waters Pierce company was owned or con, trolled by the Standard Oil company.
 The argument on the demurrers in the custer suits of the state of Texas against the Waters-Pierce O'l company was continued by Judge George Clark for the defense He said that allegations in the plain tiffs petition that the company SC cured it's readmission to do business in Texas in 1900 through fraud and misrepresentations, and that it had not been legally reorganized under the laws of Missouri are not borne out by the facts He said that neither the state of Texas nor its courts has legal right to question any act of the state of Missouri. and that when the defendant com pany committed to the secretary of state of Texas it's duly certified copy of its charter and sought a permit to do business in the state, that off cial had no discretion in the matter. but was compelled by law to issue the permit
 Judge Clark characterized the ale gations contained in the plaintiffs petition that the defendant company had corrupted railroad employees and entered into dark schemes to stifle competition as slanderous, and asked that the court order them stricken out. H. s. Priest. of St. Louis, at torney of the Waters-Pierce company, followed Judge Clark in an exhaust i've argument.

Many extensively advertised remedies are failures when put to the test. Hunts Lightning Oil is an exception. Confidence in it is never misplaced disappointment never follows its use. It IS surely the grandest emergency remedy now ob- tainable. For cuts, burns, sprains, aches and pains know no equal.

Wrinkles on Merfnos.

Fine wool sheep breeders have learn
ed one thing so thoroughly that it has
become automatic and admits Of no ar
gumentation, says E. NJ. Moore in
American Sheep Breeder. A smooth
bodied Merino is inclined to grow a
thin, open fleece. 1t Is impossible to
breed Merino type Of sheep having
a perfectly plain body and carrying as
dense a fleece as will a folded sheep,
although the length Of the fleece may
be no greater. To be sure, there are
instances In which such sheep have
been produced, but they are accidents
or exceptions rather than the rule.
But even these exceptional productions
have not been able to raise the stand
ard Of the fleece on the sheep bred ex-
clusiyely plain because of the breeding
back of them which gave them their
accidental good qualities. Delaine
breeders have been realizing this fact
very wildly the past six or eight years,
and consequently they have been dip
ping more or less extensively into
American Merino or certain types Of
Rambouillet blood in order to produce
a heavier fieeced sheep with as large
or larger carcass.

OOoOOOO-O-O-OOQt
History in the Hair.

By their hair We shall know them. It
seems that our histories are written in
our hair. The Japanese scientist, Mat
sura, has been studying the variations
IN the thickness of the hair. 1t is
known that in certain diseases, among
other differences in growth, are found
marked variations in the length and
thickness Of the finger nails. Now it ap-
pears that the hair also is influenced,
and all the affections which act upon
the general health bring about diminu-
ton in the thickness of the hair. The
medullary layer may even be interrupt
ed, and the hard layer which it contains
may disappear. Observations made
upon a hair will therefore show the
variations in thickness according TO
certain maladies, and the length of the
affected part Of the thinner portion of
the hair gives an idea of the duration
of the malady, and even of slighter af-
fections. The variations are naturally
more strongly marked in the case Of
coarse-haired races than others. Pro-
vided the hair had never been cut, the
man would have his pathological his
tory written in capillary terms.

Sorghum For Sheep.

Sorghum makes fine sheep pasture If
sown in drills about two feet apart and
cultivated same as corn, in which case
the sheep will not destroy the growth
by treading it under, but will eat 1t up
comparatively clean and be much the
better for the experience. Professor
Shaw has recommended this plant for
sheep pasture and has himself used it
at the Minnesota experiment station
with great success. Caution should be
used, however, in turning sheep on to
second growth sorghum after it has
been considerably frosted.-American
Sheep Breeder
