Statement from Bailey Headquarters.

Statement from Bailey Headquarters
Austin, Tex. Feb. 25.-The fol-
lowing statement was handed to the
press Sunday night from Senator Jo-
seph w. Bailey's headquarters:
Many friends and supporters of
Senator Bailey throughout the state
| have requested us to notify them
when the report of the investigating
committee would be before the leg
islature for final action, and in re-
sponse to the request from such a
great number, we deem it proper that
steps will be taken in the senate on
Monday looking to immediate and final
settlement of the issue in that body.
We are also advised that the sub
committee of the house has about
completed it's labors. This being the
case, the full committee will doubt
less report to the house some time
Monday it's findings. Based on this
assumption, the report of the house
committee will be before the house
for consideration on Tuesday morn
ing. In our opinion, this report in
its findings will clearly eXonerate SEN
ator Bailey and vindicate him. 1t
would seem that no reasonable man
ought to deny him the fullest exoner-
alton and the most complete vindica-
tion of every charge made against
him before he returned to Washington
to qualify as senator from the state
of Texas for another six years. How
ever, we do not desire to disappoint
our friends or deceive the public.
Senator Bailey has many personal, as
well as political enemies, who will
doubtless seek, as last opportunity,
to undertake to humiliate him at home
and injure him by casting their vote
against such a resolution of vindica-
ton as he will be entitled to. There
certainly cannot be very consider
able number Of those, after the COM
mittee hearing, and after the many
hearings most of them have hereto
fore had from their constituents. De-
lay will, of course, be the parlia-
mentary procedure resorted to, the
effect of which will be to reflect in
jury Loyal democrats Of Texas who
have waited patiently for the end
will, we are assure, tolerate no fur
ther procrastination. +"

Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great a change q
few years Of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, a faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesseS which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form of it's
fairness.
AS surely as the general health suffers
when there is arrangement of the health
of the delicate womanly organs, so surely
when these organs are established in
health the face and form at once witness
70 the fact in renewed comeliness. Nearly
a million women have found health and
happiness in the use ofaDr. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription. 1t makes weak wom-
en- strong and sick women well. Ingredi-
ents on label-contains no alcohol or
harmful habit-forming drugs, made
wholly of those native, American, medic
inal roots most highly recommended by
leading medical authorities of all the sew
eral schools of practice for the cure of
woman's peculiar ailments.
For nursing mothers, or for those broken
down in health by too frequent bearing of
children, also for the eXpectant mothers,
to prepare the system for the coming of
baby and making its advent easy and
almost painless, there is no medicine quite
90 good as "Favorite Prescription" 1t
gan do no harm in any condition of the
system. 1t is a most potent invigorating
tonic and strengthening nervine nicely
adapted to woman's delicate system by q
physician of large experience in thetreat-
ment Of woman's peculiar ailments.

BASEBALL GAME
HAS been CANCELLED


The game of ball arranged for to
morrow with Laurel will not be played,
much to the regret of the local fans
and to the boys themselves, yesterday
a letter was received from the Laurel
outfit saying that it would be impossi-
BILE to get here.
It is supposed that the members of
that team found that some Of their
players would not be able to secure
leave of absence for the day. 1t is,
of course, mutual disappointment
that the game will not be played. but
both teams win try to make up for II
when the "Only Ones" 60 to Laurel,
which they intend to do next Satur-
day.
In the meantime there is "a sound OF
revelry by night" and by day also, in
| the camp of the fans, over the games
that are scheduled for July t25, 26 and
u, when the Postals, of-New Orleans
will see what they can do to the Hat
tiesburg hustlers.
Then there are three games to be
played with the Parker-Blakes, also

series will. win or lose. bring out al
the good points in the Hustlers.

Plumstead, he is not only impressed

the same role may be classed our own
Mississippi humoriSt, Luther Manship,
who while he keeps the fearer laugh
ing from start to finish, yet you are
impressed that it was not all for fun
for wit, humor and pointed moral he
is unsurpassed.

SENATE YESTERDAY.
Amendment offered by Special Com
mittee. Which Visited Territory

Washington, Feb. S.--The Indian
