was a sufferer from my kidneys for
more than five years Often th«
trouble was so bad that I could hardly
get around to do my work. A dull,
heavy aching pain over my kidneys
annoyed me constantly and made me
so nervous that I could not rest at
night but lay awake, twisting and
turning about hi the attempt to find
a comfortable position. The kidney .
secretions contained a sediment like
brick dust, and there was a seal tU ng
sensation in passing. When Doan’s
Kidney pills were recommended to
me I had no faith in them, but de-
ciding to try them. I got a box and
used them faithfully. They have
cured me. The aching in my back
has disappeared entirely, the secre-
tions are clear and natural and I can
sleep and rest well at night Doan
Kidney Pills must have all' the credit
for this result. ”

if one can surely turn food into good,
red blood. It will combat any and every
disease known and conquer completely
more times than the disease will win.
Any physician will tell you that good,
rich blood and plenty of it it is the best

the efforts of the doctors is to give fond

No food ever discovered will do this

Miss Bessie Toone has chosen a most
ambitious role—one that would make
many an older actress hesitate—and it
might have been wiser to begin her
career as a star in something less ex-
acting. That she is fully equal to the
severe requirements of "Iris" in Pine-
ro> powerful problem play, her most
partial friends cannot say. but that
she will in good time prove equal to
it is a prophecy entirely warranted by
the nanifest talent she displayed at
Greenwall’s opera house last night.
The plav is the morbid story of a
woman driven by poverty to sin, and
it runs all toe sad gamut of temptation,
remorse and infamy, snun out with the
exquisite mastery of a virtuoso drama-
tist. Sufieient to say, It ranks with the
greatest plays of its kind and requires
in its perfect rendition an actress of
the strongest talent and most consum-
mats art.
Miss Toone has pronounced ability.
Her conception is intelligent, her
method clear, her execution becoming-
ly restrained. She lacks the fine finish
of experience in reflecting the. smaller
details which make art complete, and
she needs some good schooling in read-
ing and enunciation. But to present
a play like this in any sort of accept-
able fashion is a distinct achievement,
and Miss Toone does this and more;
she makes the critic forget her defects
in the admiration of her commanding
qualities. She is blessed with a fine
figure, a handsome face abd a voice of
sympathetic timbre. Her Texas
friends have a right to be proud of
what she has already accomplished and
to expect great things of her in the
due order of her promising develop-
ment.

ations. should make the stars’ produc-

what is deemed best in the theatrical
world. Mr. Warde’s Deon tea has a vir-
lie touch. It is said to be a powerful
impersonation of a strong and diffi-
euit character, that could easily have
been overdrawn and weakened. Miss
Kidder will appear in a dual role as

from comparative obscurity and made
it the most successful piece in her
repertoire.
MONEY FOR REFINERI
Guthrie, O. T.. Feb. 1.——(Special.)—-
Representative Walker of Payne county
today introduced the bill for the os- .
tabi ish men t ofan oil refinery with 2
which to fight the Standard Oil com-
pany and prevent that organisation
from gaining a further foothold on Ok-
lahoma oil and gas lands. The bill car-
ries an appropriation of $200,000 for
the establishment of such a refhery on •
land owned by the Agricultural and.
Mechanical college at Stillwater and
gives the regents of that college ths
power to purchase and condemn land
for right of wav for pipe lines and
power to construct pipe lines, storage
tanks, pumping stations and all neces-
sary accessories. Before June 1. next,
the territorial treasurer must Issue
territorial bonds for 3500 each; draw-
ing 4 per cent Interest, and the total
sum of 3200.030 to provide the fund ap-
propriated in the bill. Thirty days after
the passage of the act the regents are
empowered to employ a superintendent
for the refinery, who shall have com-
plete management of the entire affair,
turning into the territorial treasury at
the first of each month all money re-
ceived by him. He is authorised to
employ whatever assistants he. may
need. An important provision of the
bill is the privilege granted the col-
lege regents of prospecting for oil
on any school or other public lands,
in which the title is or may be after
statehood vested In the territory. For
each barrel of oil taken from such
lands the regents must pay into the
territorial treasury such a sum as the
governor of Oklahoma may designate,
and the proceeds will go to the same
fund as does the rental from the same
land, from which the oil is taken.
Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas now -
have such measures pending to fight
the oil trust. _ ____

The cold storage substitute bill was
taken up as the regular order.
Senator Hicks offered an amendment
to exempt from the prohibition clubs
selling to members of clubs only. The
amendment was carried.
Senator Grinnan .offered an'amend-
ment prohibiting any cold storage from
allowing any drinking on its premises
upon penalty Qf, fjne: prohibiting any
emmon barrier from devverlng any in-
toxicating liquor in a prohibition coun-
ty upon penalty of fine, and that if any
corporation shall violate any provisions
of this act it shall forfeit its chafer,

The amendment was tabled upon mo-
tion of Mr. Chambers.
After a recess of fifteen minutes a
motion was made to reconsider the vote
upon which the Hicks amendment was
adopted. Senator Hicks moved a call
of the senate upon the motion.
The’senate refused to exouse therab-
sent members, making action on the
pending measure mpossrbe.
Mr. Martin moved to suispen pending

"There will certainly be the most
strenuous rivalry for this commerce and
we cannot prepare ourselves any too
soon for the contest that will surely
come ;
"The railroad commission of Texas, as
heretofore and as now constituted," he
said, "may be relied upon to carefully
guard the public* interests, observing,
as it does, the rule announced bya the
supreme court of the United States
that if A ra Bros corporation has bonded
its property for an amount that ex-
ceeds its fair value or if its capitalisa-
tion is largely fictitious or if there has
been in its management extravagance
and an endless expense of money or
waste or enormous salaries or unjust
discrimination as between individual
shippers resulting in a general loss. It
may not impose upon the public the
burden of such unusual rates as may be
required for the purpose of realizing
profits upon such excessive valuation or
fictitious capitalisation or for compensa-
tion for the loss sustained because of
such mismanagement
"in addition to the protection thus af-
forded the public it may be well to note
that the art of May K. 1893 (Twenty-
sixth legislature), makes it a felony for
an official or employe of a railroad
corporation to discriminate by special
rate, rebate, drawback or other devices."

One of the many illustrations is that
of tuberculosis, which refuses to yield
to medicine but must give way to good
blood. A man from Philadelphia writes:
"I.have been fighting tuberculosis for
some years and, with a weak stomach,
was losing ground slowly every year I
had tried all kinds of food and finally
got so far along with the disease that
my stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels and
lungs were affected. My stomach got
to a point where it would retain no
food but peptonized milk find I was
down to 93 lbs. In weight. The doctors
said about two years ago that I had
but a month or two more to live. About
that time I was put on Grape-Nuts and
eream. It never showed the first sign
of coming up, but agreed from the
start, and in a few days I began to feel
increased strength, so T kept on, with
the result that the healthy blood has
driven the disease from every organ of
my body except the lungs and is slow-
ly driving it from them. I have gained
greatiy in vitality and strength and
added 29 Iba to my weight. If I can
keep on as I have been. It seems clear
that I will get entirely well, thanks to
old Dame Nature, whose work was
made possible by food I could digest "

Austin, Feb. 3.— The house met in
regular session -at 2 o’cock: The bill
by Messrs. Onion and Peeler fixing the
rates on sleeping cars was made a
special order of business for next
Wednesday at 3 p. m.
The report of the joint committee on-
rules making certain amendments to
the rules of the house and senate was
received and adopted.
Mr. Brown of Wharton proposed a
resolution that the house on its ad-
journment today provide to meet to-
morrow at 3 p. m. He spoke against
the custom of taking a Saturday holi-
day. His resolution on a call of the
roll was adopted.
The bill of Mr. Love of Dallas prohib-
iting the transfer of future wages,
which strikes at the claim shavers,
came up in the regular business. Mr.
Love spoke tn defense of his bill, which
was presented on a minority report.
He declared that a set of blood-sucking
Shylocks were preying on the laboring
men of Texas and by enticing thorn Into
unjust and injuriout contracts was
absorbing the products of their labor
and converting them into veritable
white slaves.
Mr. Hancock spoke against Mr. Love's
bill and offered an amendment which
in effect substituted a bill covering the
same abuse, drawn by himself. He de-
clared that Mr Love’s bill was too
drastic and would seriously Interfere
with legitimate business transactions.
He believed that under certain condi-
tions it was no more wrong for a man
to assign his future wages than for a
farmer to raise money on a cotton crop
not yet planted. He raised the issue of
constitutionality of the Love bill.
Mr. Hamilton spoke for the majority
of the committee in favor of the Han-
cock bill, which. In his ophion, reme-
died the abuse without working a hard-
ship on anyone. Mr. Kennedy spoke in
favor of the Love bill, declaring that
a long experience as employe of various
loan companies had convinced him that
no regulating legislation could possibly
be made effective and the only safe way
to remedy the abuse was positively to
throe-year leases under the state and
lands held under control of purchase
and timber purchased of the state, not
estimated.

From J. E Davis' of Falls bill to fix

. and 50 cents for general revenue, not
estimated
From Q. P. Bowser's bill taxing fire,
marine, accident and life insurance com-
panies. 3142.187.
As will be noted by the above the
committee has found it impossible to
estimate the revenues to be derived
from many of the bills which are be-
fore it. Mr Williams said today that
the estimate of 8425.000 as the amount
of revenues which his intangible tax
bill in its present form would bring
to the state is very low. He believes
that the revenues from the bill will
be double the amount estimated, but

In no instance, he said, did any con-
solidation result in an increase of stock
and bonds except such as was strictly
due to the construction of additional
mileage and this increase was limited
to the actual cost of such additional
construction as determined by the rail-
road commission.
"An examination of the railway con-
solidation acts of the twenty-sixth and
twenty-seventh legislatures will show
that the interests of the public have
been most carefully guarded."
He said he believes that each con-
solidation should stand to itself and be
judged by itself—separately and apart
from all others—snd should be ap-
proved or disapproved, as it may be
shown to be beneficial or harmful to
the public: but that no consolidation
should be permitted if in violation of
the constitution, thought it might be
advantageous to the localities directly
interested.

banking Interests and that his bill was

Austin,, Feb. 3.— (SpeciaL)—The ju-

a. bill by Mr Carswell providing for
the inspection of books and documents
in all suits in the courts of the state.
The committee reported unfavorably
a bill by Mr. Sanders relating to the
granting of divorees
Also unfavorably reported a bill by
Mr. Cottrell on the same subject
The committee also reported unfa-
vorably a bill by Mr. James, making
void judgment obtained on notes, where
a plea to jurisdiction would have been
sustained.
The committee on criminal jurispru-
dence reported favorably a bill by Mr.
Brown of Wharton forbidding the spe-
cine of variety theaters known as
honketonks.
They reported favorably a bill by

rock fights and the maintaining of cock
pits.
Mr. Hancock’s bill prohibiting policy
whels was also reported favorably.
The same committee acted unfavor-
ablv on a senate bill by Mr. Faulk per-
mitting persons under 9 years of age
to be punished for perjury. This bill
was drawn for the purpose of admit-
tinm the testimony of children Into
courts. The committee substituted for
it a bill by Mr. Cobbs, providing that
no person under the age of 13 shall
be convicted unless it appears by proof
that such child had discretion.

all, although he may have attended the
matinee in the afternoon. .
Mr. Heathcote’s denunciation is com-
plete—in not a single particular does
he find anything to commend. In this
he differs very materially from, all ot
the other dramatic critics on Mr. Grif-
fith's playing. The critic of The Rec-
ord (who has lived manyyears in New
York, and has had th- privilege of
seeing the best of actors), says; "John
Griffith gave a really good performance
of Macbeth, and his conception of the
character is intelligent and consistent
throughout.” In speaking of Lady Mac-
beth the same criticism says: "Miss
Louise Ripley portrayed the oharacter
with skill and dignity.” The Houston
Post says emphatically. "John Griffith
can play Macbeth." and likens his Mac-
beth to Booth’s Hamlet "because it is
a strong and accurate perception, deli-
cately and lucidly portrayed." The
Waco Times-Herald says that he de-
lighted the large audience there, and
classes him as . an actor with Booth
and Forrest.
In his letter Mr. Heathcote refers
to the costume of Lady Macbeth in the
sleep walking scene. If he had stopped
a moment to think he might have
known that the cold, drafty stage
Wednesday evening was no place for
a lady to wear a light costume with-
out endangering her health. And as
to its being an anachronism, it was no
more so than was the scene in one of
Mr. Heathcote’s entertainments in the
same opera house, when an elevated
railroad appears in a street scene in an-
cient Syracuse.
Mr. Heathcote possibly considers him-
self a better judge of acting than the
American public. He saw no good in
the play which was good enough and
strong enough to bring more than one
curtain call for Mr. Griffith and Miss
Ripley. The writer has not seen all of
the Macbeths of note for the past thirty
years, but he has seen tome of them,
and also many of the best plays in the
northern and eastern cities as well as
In Texas during the past thirty years,
and believes that he knows good acting
when he sees it. And While there is
nothing perfect in this world, not even
excepting Mr. Heathcote’s judgment of
acting, the entire performance Wednes-
day evening was a delightful surprise
to all who braved the inclement
weather.
Mr. Heathcote is a genial ad pleas-
ant gentleman and I cannot understand
why he took occasion to denounce in
po uncalled for a manner a really de-
serving play. Perhaps if he had known
that Mr. Griffith is a British born sub-
ject. his mother's family residing in
Hamilton, Canada, he might have re-
frained from his attack. ‘ CITIZEN.

“THAT LITTLE SWEDE"—The at-

today, matinee and night, will be the
dialect comedy. "That Little Swede," a
story of the Wisconsin forest. Miss
Emily Erickson Greene, who will play
the title role. Is a native of Sweden

she is also universally esteemed for
her very excellent qualities. Miss
Greene is also a highly educated wom-

of humor is most keen and her wit is
more amusing for the reason that it
is spontaneous.
Austin. Feb. 3.— (Special. )—Imme-
diately upon the convening of the sen-
ate today, pending business was sus-
pended and house bill No. 39 reor-
ganising the Fortv-seventh judicial
district and creating the Sixty-fourth
judicial district was taken up on mo-
tion of Senator Dockdr and finally
passed Under pending business, the
anti free pass bill again came up, the
question being upon the amendment
offered by Senator Willacy providing
that the bill. If passed, does not go
into effect until Sept 20, 1903
Senator Willacy spoke in opposition
to the idea of the legislature follow-
ing rigidly platform demands. The
legislature makes the laws, and is re-
sponsible for them The state conven-
tion is not a deliberative body and is
likely to Incorporate in the platform
factional measures. He held that the
free pass situation had been made too
much of, as figures showed that but
3 per cent of the passes issued were
given to public ofclals, the great bulk
of them being used by railway em-
ployes. He believed that without trans-
portation the Intelligence of the legis-
lature would be greatly impaired.
Only the very wealthy or the man
with an axe to grind, could afford to
come to the legislature. "If we are
to have a class of legislators who have
no business at home needing atten-
tion." he said, then God help Texas.”
Senator Willacy cited the fact that
increases in land values had increased
many millions in the last few years and
that increase was due largely to the
immigration agent, who could not exist
without transportation.
Mr Willacy's amendment was tabled
by a vote of 18 to 3.
Senator Paulus sent up an amend-
ment to prohibit the issuance of free
mileage books.
Senator Martin believed that this
amendment which was evidently in-
tended to exclude the newspaper
passes was a step too far as the pa-
p»rs surely paid amply for their trans-
portation In advertising.
The amendment was adopted by a
vote of 20 to 3.
An amendment was offered by Sena-
tor Griggs eliminating railroad at-
torneys from those who shall receive
transportatioh.
A vote on the Griggs amendment
carried by a vote of 18 to 12.
Senator Willacy raised the point that
senators who were attorneys of rall-
roads were interested parties and not
prohibit all the transfer of future
"MESMarfis made aa eloquent speech
in defense of the Love bill. He said
in Part:
"It is a fact that one of the para-
mount duties at his legislature is to
enact some law to protect the inno-
cent wives and children of the labor-
ing men of Texas, some of whom by
weakness are allowing themselves to
fall into the elutehes of a piratical
crew of blood-sucking leeches, no that
hard earned wages that shoud go to
the support of their wives -and chil-
dren are absorbed by gamblers and
saloonkeepers.
I favor the Love bill because its
provisions reader absolutely null and
void all such petnicious and injurious
contracts. in my opinion, the Love
bill is constitutional and a valid ex-
ercise of the legislative power. It does
not offer a half remedy by putting on
the laboring men the burden of proving
a usurious rate of interest, but by in-
validating the whole practice of caim-
shaving, gives that adequate protec-
tion. which it is our duty to provide.”
Mr. Ward also spoke in favor of the
Love bill, declaring that an eighteen
years’ experience with laboring men
had convinced him that prohibition of
the claimeshaving practice was the
oniy adequate solution to the hideous
evils now existing. At this point Mr
Hancock withdrew his amendment and
the Love bill passed to engrossment.
The bill by Mr. Robertson, empower-
ing cities and towns chartered under
the general law to regulate the rates
on public utilities, towit, electric light,
water, gas. telephones and sewers and
providing that the fixing of such rate
should allow public utility corporations
to earn at least 10 per cent on the
amount Invested had its third reading
and was finally passed.
The bill by Messrs. Love of Dallas.
Rosser Thomas and Mays, providing for
county depositories for county funds,
came up on second reading and pro-
voked a long and bitter debate. A flood
of amendments were offered and voted
down.
It was urged by the defenders of the
bill that it was one of the measures
promised by the Democratic platform,
and the old question of "regularity”
brought out a flood of eloquence.
Finally Judge Terrell in offering an
amendment made a sweeping attack, on
the bill. His amendment provided that
individuals owning land of double the
value of the money to be deposited
should have the right to, secure the de-
posit. He said:
“I call on you to give the same rights
and privileges to the man God Almighty
made that by this act you propose to
give to the artificially created genera-
tion of banks."
The argument finally degenerated into

D. F. Houaton, president of the agri-
cultural college, setting forth the as-
sistance given that institution and
farming interests by the railroads and
estimating 82,533 annually saved the
institutioa by that transportation.
Senator Looney moved 'the previous
question, whih motion carried.
Senator Stone’s amendment was
adopted.
Senator Smith moved to reconsider
the vote by which the amendment was
carried, which motion prevailed.
The question on the Stone amendment
was put and the amendment lost.
The question of the engrossment of
the bill was then put and carried by
a vote of 20 to 3.
The rules were suspended and the
bill placed on its final Passage.
- Seator Willacy offered an amendment
fo strive out the enacting clause, which
was tabled.
Senator Grinnan offered an amend-
ment making not effective exemptions
of the bill in conflict with the consti-
tution. The amendment was lost.
Senator Griggs offered an amendment
allowing passes to the judiciary, heads
of state departments, immigration
agents and farmers and others attend-
ing conventions of agricultural, deep
water and irrigation. Senator Griggs

throughout the state.
