The penalty op conviction may be either a fine p.,903 or impr .sonment for five years In February. 1905, MT.

 The presentation of the case to the grand jury charged that the wholt scheme intended to advertise by the postoffice establishment and through the mails an enterprise which was represented in false. fraudulent and misleading manner. 1t is the govern mcnts further contention that Tucker appropriated large proporton of tie stock to his own personal use.

Always to Be Depended Upon.

When a person gets up in the morn
ing with a dull headache and tired,
stretchy feeling, it's an almost certain
indication that the liver, or bowels,
or both, are decidedly out of order.
At such times Nature, the wisest
and best of doctors, takes this means
to give warning that she needs the
help and gentle assistance which can
best be obtained from that old fam
lily remedy, Brandreths Pills, which
has been in use for over a century.
They are the same fine laxative
tonic pill your grandparents used
when doctors were few and far be-
tween, and when people had to have
a remedy that could absolutely be de
pended upon.
Brandreth's Pills can be depended
upon, and are sold in every drug and
medicine store, plain or sugar-coated

NOT DOOMED TO sEcLUsIoN.
Austrian Nuns of Noble Blood Lead
Pleasant Lives.

The first lady" in the Austro-Hun-
garian court is now the abbess Of the
Theresian Convent of the Noble La
dies in Prague, a position which is
always held by an archduchess. The
Archduchess Maria Annunciata, the
present abbess, who is niece of the
emperor, has succeeded to the position
of first lady through the widowhood
of the Archduchess Maria Josefa, wife
of the late Archduke Otto. The noble
nuns of Prague live very different
life from what is the usual conception
of convent life. They play a leading
part in the society Of the city and are
not even compelled to live in the ab-
hey, where each is provided with two
rooms and service. Handsome car
riages with liveried servants are also
provided for their use, and they have
a box in the opera Each noble lady
is paid $500 a year, while the abbess
has a salary of 100000 When they
attend court balls they must wear
black evening dress with ribbon OF
light blue.

CATTLE RAISING IN MEXICO.
It Has Become Leading Industry ir
Last Few Years.

San Antonio, Tex.-Mexico is buy
ing more well-bred breeding cattle
than any six states in the union This
is the elclaim made by breeders of good
beef stock.
From the most miserable specimens
of range cattle to the finest grades on
the continent is the record of the Diaz
republic in the last ten years.
The cattle-raising industry in the
republic is now one of the principal
sources of prosperity there The large
ranch Of Don Louis Terrazas and his
son-in-law, Enrique C. Creel, the new
ambassador to the United States,
which covers many thousands of acres
in Chihuahua, is one of the best.
stocked cattle ranges in the world.
This ranch has more than a thou
sand Hereford bulls that are of the
blood royal. But there are many other
ranches in various parts of the repub-
lie where cattle of the best quality
have replaced the scrubs of a few
years ago.
The dairy-cattle industry is also be-
ing pushed to the front in the repub-
lie, and all along the line the breed of
live stock is being bettered. This is
due in chief to the great number of
progressive American cattlemen who
have removed to the republic to en-
gage in cattle raising. Their lead has
proven profitable to the Mexican
ranch owners.
At the recent San Antonio interna-
tional fair a Mexican ranch owner
made an order for 500 miles of wire
fence for his sheep pasture.
