Used Large Sums of Money ana
False Representations.

Austin, Tex, Sept. 22.-Attorney
General Davidson has filed SUIT
against the Waters-Pierce oil COM
pany to cancel its permit to, DO bus
mess in Texas, and for penalties ag-
gregating $5,22S,4OO. A general con-
spiracy on the part of the waters

restore H. G. Pierce (because OF sup
posed political influence capable OF
being exercised by him in the state
of Texas) to the presidency OF the

therefore been removed by these
managers of the Standard Oil COM
pany. That the nominal and fradu-
lent reorganization having been ac-
complished, II. C. Pierce came into
the state of Texas with a large sum
of money, accomplished the settle
ment of the cases pending in the
state of Texas against the Waters
Pierce Oil company at that time and
filed a copy of the charter, dated May
20, 1900, with the secretary of the
state, and secured a permit to do bus
mess in the state of Texas, dated May
81, 1900.
THAT all of said representations
made by H. C. Pierce were false and
fraudulent, and known by him to be
false and fraudulent at the time they
were made, and were made by him
for the purpose of deceiving the Off
GERS of the state for the purpose OF
| effecting a re-entrance for defendant
corporation into the state of Texas
| in pursuance and furtherance of the
conspiracies hereinbefore alleged"
1t is further alleged that at the
time of the affidavit the Standard
owned 2,750 shares of the 1000 Of
the Waters-Pierce, also that since
the reorganization the company ha!
repeatedly and continuously violated
the laws of Texas.

About four years ago I was afllict

face and few covering my body,
which produced a severe itching irri
tation, and which caused me great
deal of annoyance and suffering, to
such an extent that l was forced to
call in two of the leading physicians
of my town. After a thorough eXami-
nation of the dreaded complaint they
announced it to be skin eczema in its
worst form. They treated me for the
same for the length of one year, but
the treatment did me no good Fin
ally my husband purchased set of

using the contents of the first bottle

continued the use of the Cuticura
Remedies for six months, and after
that every splotch' was entirely gone
and the affected parts were left as
clear as ever. The Cuticura Rene
dies not only cured me of that dread
full disease, eczema, but other compli-
Gated troubles as well. Lizzie E.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fneness of the fabric Is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, hut also affects the wear

can be entirely overcome by using De-

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children; it ruins a child's disposi-
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like firebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration, ner-
vous dependency, " the blues" sleep.
lessness, and nervous irritability OF
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, so that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you; all the senses perverted
morbid!y sensitive TO light and sound I;
pain in the abdominal region, and
between the shoulders; bearing down
pains; nervous dyspepsia and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If SO, your nerves are in shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monument al that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra-
ton than Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound; thousands and thou
