K OONl BWTHE 32ND LEGISLATURE
Austin, Texas.—The following is a
complete digest of the labors of the
Thirty-second Legislature, adjourned:
981 Bills Introduced.
Bills introduced in the house were
615; in the senate, 366. Bills passed,
105 general, of which five have already
been vetoed; 177 local, of which three
have been vetoed.
Much Local Legislation.
The great bulk of new legislation is
purely local. Of the general bills,
there are few of great importance. No
epoch-making laws have gone on the
books,, unless these five may be so
classed;
Suspended sentence act.
Parole act.
Child labor act.
Tubercular sanitarium act.
Sanitary code.
And,, of course, the submission of the
constitutional amendment for state-
wide prohibition was an act of stellar
importance.
In connection with that an equal rep-
resentation election bill was passed.
Measures So Far Vetoed.
Of the measures passed, these have
been vetoed:
Texarkana charter.
Daylight bill.
Bill 'to establish cotton bagging fac-
tory.
Bill, to lengthen scholastic age.
Bill to establish state normal school
at Waco.
Bosque County road law.
Tyler charter.
Thji “Ughtfoot” bill.
-' 'iB fact that the constitution was
amended since the sitting of the last
legislature so as to permit cities of
5,00 1 and over to get special charters
was responsible for the big herd of lo-
cal bills.
How Railroads Fared.
The railroads failed to get anything
they asked for except legislative rest.
The International & Great Northern
amendment bill; the Missouri, Kansas
& Texas, Cotton Belt and Santa Fe
consolidation bills; and the bill to
amend and liberalize the railroad stock
and bond law, all were lost. So, too,
were the bills seeking certain exemp-
tions from the full crew and experience
biu. Upon the other hand, the bill to
extend the full crew law; the two pay-
days bill; the railroad hospital hill,
and the reduced fare bills—all of these
lost. Also the bill seeking to make
eight hours a dayk work on state
buildings, and the* assignment of un-
earned wages bill, were lost.
Wharf and Terminal Bill.
The bill to put wharf and terminal
companies under the jurisdiction of the
railroad commission passed.
AH bills seeking to regulate the ac-
tions of people on Sunday failed, as
did efforts to literalize the present Sun-
day law.
Such also was the fate of a batch of
freak bills, as the cigarette bill; bill to
prohibit dancing in the state house;
bill making it a felony to steal a
chicken, at night; bill to prevent chick-
ens from running at large, and bill re-
quiring individual drinking cups.
Of the mass of liquor traffic bills
only one, the daylight bill, passed, and
it was vetoed. The bill to tax billiard
and pool tables in public places out of
existence -passed the senate, but the
speaker of the house returned it to that
body upon the ground that the consti-
tution provides that revenue measures
shall originate in the house.
Some Failures.
Among the important measures
which Governor Colquitt desired
. passed, but which failed, were the gen-
eral appropriation bill, textbook bill,
redistricting bills, university and A.
and M. college tax constitutional
amendment, bill amending prison re-
form law., and bills reforming the ju-
diciary.
i Of the many measures offered to
regulate elections, only two passed—
the equal representation bill and the
city primary bill. The majority rule,
publicity of campaign expenses and
limitation of campaign expense bills
all failed, as did the bill prohibiting
public officers from receiving loans,
gifts or fees from public service cor-
porations. Also the effort to submit a
constitutional amendment for the ini-
tiative and referendum failed.
The flock of bills seeking to reduce
the number and increase the pay of leg-
islators failed, as did bills seeking to
increase the salaries of judges of the
higher qourts. The two courts of civil
appeals will be created if Governor
Colquitt approves, but it is practically
certain lie will not approve, as the
house turned down the hill to relieve
the supreme court by changing its ju-
risdiction.
Judiciary Reform Lost.
The house also turned down the
V a ughan-M each u m - W a t s o n proposed
constitutional amendment for a reform
of the judiciary along the lines of the
English system.
The only notable educational hill en-
acted is that establishing rural high
schools. Compulsory education went
by the hoard.
The governor blocked the creation of
any more schools. The anti-hazing
bill failed in the house.
Four new counties were created
Jim Wells, Brooks, Willacy and Culber-
son. Efforts to name counties for for-
mer Governors Ross and Hogg failed.
The land commissioners bill, to per-
mit the sale of slate school lands with-
out requirement of settlement; the
mineral prospecting bill, the irrigation
district and conservation bills failed.
In • all, five constitutional amend-
ments are submitted: For statewide
prohibition; to levy a tax for confeder-
ate i>ensions, etc.; extending the tenure
' of offices of penitentiary commission
ers to six years;

•THREE of the prettiest shapes
1 among the new hats for spring are
snown here. One might choose with
the eyes shut and be sure of pos-
sessing grace, style and real beauty
in any of these. They fit well and are
only moderately large.
Hemp and milan appear to lead in
the point of popularity, but there are
Innumerable lovely models in other
braids as well—hair braid, pyroxylin,
chip, leghorn, tuscan, in fact every
braid, including the rough Japs, finds
a following, and there is no lack of
variety in size or shape.
The hair braids and hemps are
greatly favored for dress hats to be
trimmed with French plumes and lace
or ribbon—or both. Milans and hemps
are liked for big masses of flowers.
Many of these trimmed with big
bunches of lilacs are blooming in tri-
umph at Palm Beach just now.
A great many shapes are shown
with borders (called “flanges”) of vel-
vet, and some are faced with velvet.
Small shapes with upturned brims
nearly always are improved by a vel-
vet facing on the brim or coronet.
The velvet flange is an undoubted ad-
vantage, adding finish and distinction
to the shape. Its placing is a matter
of perfect workmanship.
It will be noticed that crowns in
the hats are conservative; they are
not specially large or high or notice-
able in any way. The achievement of

Prospects for Bumper Crop.
Bandera, Tex.—There is -a splendid
season in the ground and corn planting
is the order of the day. Bandera

Some time ago I began the use of
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root with the most
remarkable results. For years I wa's almost
a wreck and was a great sufferer. The doc-
tors who treated me made me believe that
great sufferings were due to female
trouble. I was so bad at times I would
faint away and had sinking spells.
Finally a new doctor was called in and
he said that I had kidney trouble and
gave me medicine, of which I took sev-
eral bottles. I obtained some relief from
this but I was getting weaker all the
time; I could not sleep and suffered so
much pain that my husband and children ,
had to lift me in and out of bed. After
this time two friends sent me word to try
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, which I did,
and I am glad to state that the first dose
gave me great relief After takihg the
third dose I was helped into bed and slept
half of the night.
I took several bottles of Swamp-Root
and I feel that I owe my life to this
wonderful remedy. The two family doc-
tors said that I could not live three
months; my urine was in a terrible con-
dition—thick and slimy—and I would have
to be helped in and out of bed ten to
twenty times every night. After taking
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root for two days I
was entirely free from getting up and
could sleep soundly.

grace in outline is the paramount idea
In spring shapes and is more highly
regarded than any other feature. This
is a good sign. So far there seems to
be an absence of freakishness this sea-
son, in any direction.
It looks as if flowers were to catch
the fancy of all women young enough
to wear flower-laden shapes. They
are so pretty. Both the hats and
flowers come in great ranges of lovely
colors. Milans in the yellow or nat-
ural color and hemps in all colors give
a choice from grave to gay and all
the notes between.
There is a shape for every face. It
is very essential to pick out the most
becoming one and this is a serious
matter.
short sleeves the best for summer or
winter, and she says she likes to have
the skirts of my dresses solid em-
broidery because they are so fluffy.
Sometimes I wear kid shoes, but usual-
ly black slippers—they’re so sensible
and pretty, too. I’m six years old.—

News.
Prove What Swamp-Root Will Do For You
Send to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bingham-
ton, N. Y., for a sample bottle. It will
convince anyone. You will also receive
a booklet of valuable information, telling
all about the kidneys and bladder. When
writing, be sure and mention this paper.

Home and School.
Home and school are two different
spheres and have of necessity differ-
ent duties to perform and different
work to accomplish in the training and
teaching of the child. But unless the
Ideals are the same and unless there
is a systematic attitude of mind be-
tween parents and teachers, the best
result cannot be achieved and the child
must suffer.—Mrs. E. L. Franklin,
Secretary Parents’ National Education-
al Union, England.

Making Pretty Ornaments.
Women and girls with time on their
hands and ideas aplenty for their own
adorning are using both to make dainty
little chains and ornaments for day
and evening wear.
These new “jewels” are easy enough
to make—there are gold beads, corals,
French pearls and semi-precious
stones, which may be procured singly
or by the dozen and combined in any
one of a dozen or more odds or unique
fashions.
A girl may show her artistic taste by
the colorings she combines or the de-
signs she works out and it will be
easy to plan ornaments to fit one’s
blouses, gowns or temperament, if she
so desires.
And since one may employ “mock”
jewels, the finished ornaments, chains
or pendants, need not cost so much aa
to greatly disturb one’s allowance or
make deep holes in one’s purse.

Now for Turned-Up Hats.
Once more will it be possible to
see women’s eyes and hair. Hat brims
still will be large, but they are to b«
turned up. Hats with straw brims thai
turn up boldly in front, at the side 01
front and back are seen among the
models for the fast coming spring
time. They come in all sizes. One
of the new forms is 18 inches long and
23 inches wide. Extra large hats, how-
ever, will be worn only be the extrem-
ists. Even women are weary of them,
for they have been carried to such ab
surd measurements that they no long

Novel Collar.
/rhe string ties which women are
wearing with their tailored shirl
waists come in the loveliest of col-
ors. The materials used are innumer-
able, but all, of course, have the silky
finish.
A novel collar shows to good advan
tage a string tie of ciel blue corded
silk. The high, straight, turn-down
collar fastens In front. Wide, vertical
eyelet slits appear around the collar at
intervals of about two inches, and
through these is run the tie, which is

ion.

Peaceful Town of Newton, N. J.
From a constabulary viewpoint the
citizens of Newton, N. J„ are living in
an actual Utopia, and so free are they
from the usual suburban offenders
that barred doors or locks are un-
known.
In looking through the village
archives an early volume chronicles
an attempted robbery in the town
store, and some horse-loving citizen
ras reprimanded for cutting a stree?
corner, but since then the police blot-
ter has not known the touch of ink.
As a consequence, the constabulary
force of two men has been abandoned.

CURED A BAD SPAVIN.
Mr. B. H. Ivey, Marion, N.C., write*:
“My horserhad a very bad cate of spavin
and nothing did any good until I tried your
Mexican Mustang Liniment. I rubbed the
spavin frequently and plentifully with the
liniment and soon saw an improvement. In
this treatment I poured my palm full of lin-
iment and then rubbed iton the spavin until
nearly dry. I did this three or four times a
day and my horse wa» completely cured. It
is sure to cure if properly used.”
A spavin is a serious ailment and
needs a powerful remedy. The above
letter proves Mexican Mustang Lin-
iment cures even bad cases and does
it thoroughly, too.
