In Midland. Tex, Where Mrs. Gar denhire Found That Cardui, the WOman's Tonic, Pre-
 vented Suffering.

Midland, Tex.-Mrs. Willie Garden hire of this place writes: "l have had five children, but with the last l found that Cardui, the wonan's tonic, prevented much pain and suffering.
 "I think C~rdui God-send, as med- icine for weak women, and will always praise it to every suffering woman, for know it is good.
 "I wish every sick lady would give Cardui fair trial.'
 If every sick lady would only do so, womanly troubles would not be so prev- alent as they are, for the curative value of Cardui, in such cases, has been amply proven by its success during the last half century.
 The principal ingredients of Cardui have to be imported direct from Europe by the manufacturers, not being for sale in this country, and the finished medicine itself is a scientific remedy of real merit which is different" from any other med- icine prescribed or recommended for Women's use./
 Do not accept substitutes for Cardui, as no other medicine has its peculiar, curative, tonic, strengthening power.

DEMURRACf BILL
 IS KILLED The United States Supreme Court Reverses State Supreme Court.
WAS PASSED IN 1907
Act Declared Unconstitutional By Judge Trieber, But Upheld By
 State Court.

Washington, April 5.-Holding the action of the State of Arkansas in requiring railroads to furnish cars for local shipments within five days from the time they are ordered a burden on interstate commerce, the supreme court of the United States today reversed the supreme court of Arkansas.
 State Court Case.
 The case decided against the State of Arkansas came from Arkansas county, upon appeal from the deci- sion of the circuit court in which the Cotton Belt lost the case on the original hearing.
 In the Supreme court of the State of Arkansas the decision of the Cir cult court was upheld, and from this decision the Cotton Belt took yet an- other appeal, this time to the Su- preme court of the United States.
 The act in question was passed at the session of the Legislature of 1907, and was composite bill, being the bill introduced by Col. D. E. Barker of Drew County, and few paragraphs of the bill introduced by Hon. Hughlett Coleman of Arkansas County.
 Directly after it's passage the Iron Mountain attacked the constitutional :. ity of the act in the Federal Court at Little Rock, and Judge Jacob Trieber rendered a decision favorable to the railroad company, holding thar the act would interfere with inter- state commerce.
 The decision of Judge Trieber had no connection with the case in the state courts, however, and this deci- sion was not appealed from, it being the case from Arkansas County against the St. Louis Southwestern which came to the attention of the highest court in the land.
 The Barker demurrage act pro- vided a penalty for failure to furnish cars for shipment within specified. time after they were ordered, no matter whether the cars were for intra or inter state shipments.
 Will Affect Rules.
 The decision of the Supreme court of the United States today affects the demurrage rules of the Railroad Commission of the State of Arkansas from the fact that these rules are based upon the Barker act, although the federal court here had declared the bill unconstitutional Only recent 1y the demurrage rules of the com- mission were amended upon the re- quest of the Arkansas car service as- sociation, to conform directly with the Barker act. with the decision of the highest court it will be neces- sary to redraft the rules so as to include no part of the Barker act.

Horace G. Whyte, of Pine Bluff, and Miss Stella A. White, of this city, were married at the residence of the brides parents on East Ninth street yesterday evening at 7:30 o'clock, Rev. James Thomas, pastor of the First Methodist Church, officiating.

Guthrie, Okla, April 5.-That Mrs. G. W. Garrison of Oklahoma City, widow of G. W. Garrison, the Oklaho- ma county sheriff, who was murder ed by Ali Hunter, negro, will wit ness the execution of her husbands slayer in Watonga next Friday, is the opinion of Harvey Garrison, the murdered mans son.
 ''I am not sure that Mrs. Garrison will be present at the hanging of Hunter, as she is in St. Louis,'' he stated. But in all probability she will make the trip to Watonga should she return by April 6. I think that the hanging will also be public one, inasmuch as the Watonga jail has not enough space to accommo- date the execution. More than 100 friends of my father have called me up and asked if they would be per- mitted to be present. shall be there in person."
