Remarkable Legal Action in Texas.

Austin, Oct. 1S.-A remarkable
legal action to decide as to whether
railroad time or sun or solar time
shall be legal time in Texas is be-
the action of the Texas Train and
Lumber company against L.. b.
Hightower, Jr. district Judge under
the following circumstances. The
proceedings originally were to re-
quire Judge Hightower to enter
Judgment nunc pro tunic In the suit
where plaintiffs secured judgment
recovering title to four lots in the
heart of Beaumont which had been
claimed by the Texas and New Or
leans railroad The railroad brought
the suit in 1901 but 1t was not tried
until May of this year. The manda-
mus arises out of a refusal OF the
Judge to accept the judgment and
file 1t. The verdict was returned
three minutes after midnight, rail-
road time, following the last day of
the term. but the train company al
leges that by sun or solar time
which is the only standard of time
which has ever been recognized by
the courts of this state" It pleads
the true time was about Is or 20
minutes to 12 and within the last
day of the term; and that the rail-
roads action for new trial was Inn
mediately made and overruled some
10 minutes to IL by solar or sun
time. but after that hour by railroad
time. All Is alleged as having oc-
Cured in the term but that not suffi'
cient time intervened for the train
company lawyers to prepare and file
q judgment in accordance with the
findings of a jury in its favor but
that subsequently such judgment
was presented but was refused TO be
received as the court held 1t did not
come in before midnight though ac-
knowledging II was in by midnight
railroad time. Arguments are at
hearing. The case is novel In Texas
and is attracting considerable atten'
tion amongst southern lawyers.

An Old Idol Shattered.

Still other old friends are the
porus plaster. the liver pad and the
liniment-"for man and beast" The
principle upon which some of these
aids to the injured are based is that
of counter irritation, which, under
certain circumstances. Is almost re-
spectacle. But as a rule the idea
expressed in the directions and i'm
planted In the minds of the users
is that the powerful drugs In the
plaster or the liniment penetrate the
skin and do battle with the sore
muscles or disease germs within.
As a matter of fact. we have the
word of a scientific pharmacologist
for the axiom that "the human skin.
except when blistered. is almost Inn
pervious to any drug but mercury"
In other words. the epidermis of a
healthy man is as much chloroform-
proof as camphor-proof or other lini-
ment-proof as the side of war ship.
And yet who of us hasn't found CON-
fort and solace In porous plaster
My father would as lief be without
his dinner. All the same, II the
Imagination invested II with the
/ same virtues. coat of green paint
would do as much good.
You may urge against all OF this,
gentle reader, the fact that you your
self have cured sore muscles and
stiff necks with your favorlte lini-
ment. There is no doubt of Il what
ever; you are witness to II. And
you are perfectly right. You played
tennis too long and your forearm
felt as II 1t had been run through
rollers. You got out your bottle OF
Old Reliable, shook 1t according to
directions. and gave your arm good
hard rubbing. Next day the muscles
we're plant again and the pain was
gone. sAll OF these thing undoubted-
ly happened, but the fact remains
that It was the rubbing and not the
llniment that effected the cure. II
you don't believe II try olive oil or
hot water or Worcestershire sauce
next time.
Vigorous massage is probably the
best OF all remedies for muscular
pains IL causes a healthy circula-
tion of the blood in the affected part.
and In addition the rhythmatic mo-
tion has a peculiar psychic effect.
There is really more than a mere
superstition in this laying on OF
hands. Stroke the hair OF a person
suffering pain and sometimes the
pain abates. Rub your hand over the
brow OF a headache patient and now
and then you cure the headache.

PRINTER MADE THE CHANGE.
The Addition of the Letter as"
Caused Litigation.

1t was discovered in the supreme
court yesterday that all the publish
ed codes of Oregon. Deady's, Hills
and Bellinger's, have contained
typographical error that may have
had important bearing on litigation
and one that doubtless influenced
several decisions Not only does the
error appear in the published codes
but in the printed copy of the con-
stitution as it was originally adopted
at Salem in 1857.
The error is in article ". section
20, of the constitution which, in the
printed codes, reads:
Every act shall embrace but one
subject, and matters properly con-
nected Herewith, which subjects
shall be expressed in the title"
The matter came up in the argu-
ment of the suit of ]. e. Murphy
against Charles Lembeke, John w.
Culver, the city of Salem and others.
1t was brought to test the constitu-
tionality of the act of the legislature
which granted a new charter to the
city and enlarged the boundaries.
Murphy is the appellant and the
chief contention was that the consti-
tuition intended that all matters
treated in a bill should be mentioned
in the title and pointed to the
plural word subjects" in the sec
tion quoted.
John McNary, attorney for the
respondent, believed that the word
must be an error and after looking
at the three published codes, ex-
amined the original draft of the
state constitution and found that
the word is subject" in the singu-
lar number. Mr.. McNary is asso-
ciated with Tilmon Ford, w. I.
Slater and VIM. Kiser, while w. H.
Holmes and NJ. E. Pogue are attor-
neys for the appellant.

gold and plenty Of 1t.
John Wyers, a well-known livery
man of White Salmon, returned from
trout Lake Saturday, and says that
so many prospectors are going into
the newly discovered gold field that
horses cannot be secured for their
outfits, and that a stampede OF
ranchers and residents of Trout
Lake in quest of the yellow metal is
threatened. Much of the gold found
is imbedded in rotten quartz, that
can, he says, be picked out with the
point of knife. 1t is in this region
that John Dark for many years
sought to locate a lost mine that 1t
is said was known to the early set
tiers and the Indians, and in which
vicinity 1t is also known that several
men took out quantities of gold.
The latest claimant of the hiding
place of this secret wealth of nature
is R. A. Shaw, employed by a min
ing company at Spokane, who was
at Hood River Sunday, and says
that he was guided to the vicinity of
the lost mine by an Indian. Shaw
had in his possession some specimens
that were pronounced by old miners
to be most unqualifiedly rich in both
gold and copper, and estimated to
assay between 5000 and $500 to the
ton. While he will not talk, other
than to say the gold was found
along the Lewis river, in the vicinity
of Mccoy creek, a stage driver who
took him as far as Trout Lake, says
he was gone five weeks with pros
pecting outfit. and when he returned
showed his find.
There is a constant stream Of
strangers going into the region, and
each time one OF them returns a new
verification of the story of. the rich
deposits of minerals is made. While
most of the returning prospectors
are willing to say what they have
found, and back 1t up with proof,
when asked to describe accurately
where their discoveries are located
they refuse to do so. Until recently
the search for gold was confined to
outsiders. who were led to prospect
through the story of gold having
been found there. but since they
have made good. the residents have
also taken the gold fever and flock

HEARST NOMINATED.
Democratic Candidate for Governor OF
New York.

Buffalo. N. Y.-At n session which
began at 7:45 o'clock Tuesday night
and continued until 2:30 the next
morning, the Democratic state con
yention nominated n state ticket with
William Randolph Hearst at the head
of it. Mr.. Hearst already was in the
field as the Eubernatorial nominee of
the independence league, which he was
instrumental in organizing
The Democrats also took from the
independence League ticket Lewis
Stuyvesant Chanler of Duchess county
for lieutenant governor and John S,
Whalen of Monroe for secretary of
state. The other nominees were Mar.
tin J. Glynn of Albany for state con
troller, William Schuyler Jackson OF
Buffalo for attorney general: for state
treasurer, julius Houser of Suffolk;
Frederick w. Skene of Queens for
state engineer and surveyor. None of
them are on the Independence League
ticket.
Mr.. Hearst was nominated with 309
votes, only 226 being necessary foi
choice. Congressman William Sulzer
received for governor 124 votes, and
John A. Dix of Washington county re-
ceived the complimentary vote OF
seventeen delegates, making $50 in all
The nomination of Mr.. Hearst was
made in the face of the bitterest op-
position ever waged in Democratic
convention in this state. The minority,
which cast its ballots for Mr.. Sulzer,
has known for several days that it
was beaten. This fact was made sure
in the last session, when test vote
on the majority report of the com.
mittee on contested seats showed
Hearst supporters to be in absolute
control. Under the guise of advocat-
ing the candidacy of Mr.. Sulzer a
number of Mr.. Hearst's party oppon-
ents took the stage, and amid storms
of cheering and kissing, denounced
and arraigned the man they knew was
to be the party's candidate in the most
remarkable series of speeches ever
hurled at a man to be named for the
highest office at the gift of the con,
vention.
The advocates of Mr.. Hearst an
swered these attacks, the most effect
i've of the utterances being made in
his behalf by Congressman Bourke
Cochran of New York, VINO declared
that Mr.. Hearst was not his personal
choice, the demand that he be nomi-
mated having come from every section
of the state, and was not to be denied.

Laundry work at hOIhe would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness, which not only DESTROYS the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch. as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children; it ruins n child's DISPOSE
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 a 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 restlcssness, 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,
morbidiy sensitive TO light and sound ;
pain in the abdominal region, and
between the shoulders; bearing down
pains; nervous dyspepsia and almost
continually cross and snappyP
If SO, your nerves are in shattered
condition, and You are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra-
tion than Lydia T.. Pinkham's NeFc-
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands of women can testify to this fact.
