Groat i Texas. Forty years
ago Texan was great in its dimen-

broad grass-covered prairies ex-
tended from the Ofith to the 107th
degree of longitude—720 miles,
and from the Gulf of Mexico to
the 36 degree of latitude. (Jreat
by reason of its countless herd of j

of the few inhabitants wore sup-
plied. To-day Texas is great not
only by reason of its vast popula-

The third trial of the noted
Hayden-Cranfill case, began in
the district court at Dallas, Mon-
day. As given by the Dallas
Times-Herald: S. A. Hayden
brought action for alleged dam-
ages in the sum of $100,000, of
which $50,000 was set forth as
being actual and $50,000 exempl-
ary damages. The litigation grew
out of the action of the Baptist
General Convention of Texas in
denying Rev. S. A. Hayden a
seat at one of the annual gather-
ings which convened at San An-
tonio and in subsequent doings
of certain Texas Baptist. Among
the defendants are a number of
the most prominent Baptist in
Texas. At the first trial the jury
found for plaintiff and awarded
damages in the sum of $35,000,
the judgment was reversed on
appeal to the court of civil ap-
peals. The second trial resulted
in a hung jury after seven weeks
had been consumed in laying the
case before the twelve men. It is
thought that the decision will rest
with the jury by the end of five
weeks at this term, inasmuch as
the argument of special demurrers
which required two weeks before
is unnecessary at this time.
A Washington special of the
15th says: Representative Gaines
of Tennessee, who is in the city

Daniel of Virginia,Senator Bacon
of Georgia or Senator Carmack

Texas, any of these would do ad-
mirably. The South has plenty

Mother's Friend
Those who «lo know about it
wonder how they ever got along
without it. It has robbed child-
birth of its terror# for many a
young wife. It has preserved her
girli->n I'.gure and saved her much
suffering. It is an external lini-
ment and canici with it therefore,
absolutely no danger of u|«etting
the system as drugs taken intern-
ally are apt to do. It is to be
rubbed into the abdomen to soften
and strengthen the muscles which
are to beur the strain. This means
much less pain. It also prevents
morning sickness and all of the
other discomforts of pregnancy.
A druggist of Macon, Ga., says:
" I have sold a large quantity of
Mother's Friend and have never
known an instance where it has
failed to producc the good results
claimed for it."
A prominent lady of Lam-
berton, Ark., wiites: "With my

Mother's Friend, my seventh was
born in 4 hours."

A BRENHAM-ELGIN COMPANY.
Brenham, Texas, .Tune 15.—
The Brenham Klgin Oil company
was organized yesterday at Elgin
by the election of R. Tomo and
M. T. Smith of Elgin and Messrs.
A. D. Milroy, F. W. Schueren-
berg and F. W. Wood of this city
as directors. It has some of the
oil here taken from the wells on
their holdings and in its crude
state it gives a very good light
in an ordinary lamp.
The company is capitalized for
$10,000, most of which is held in
Brenham, and the purpose of the
company is to bore a well 1500
feet at once.
The oil indications on which
they base their hopes for a gush-
er is found in a fourbarrel a day
well that only bored to a depth of
400 feet. Oil was first discover-
ed in this section on Mr. Bohn's
farm while he was boring for
water at a very shallow depth.
He has used this oil for years
and supplied his neighbors who
needed it for lubricating pur-
poses. This company hold leases
on several adjacent farms as well
as the Bohn farm, on which there
are three 400 feet wells, in all of
which oil was struck, but not in
paying quantities at this depth.
To Oure Constipation,

Tea; it purifies the blood and beautifies
the complexion. All druggists are au-
thorized to refund the money in any
case where R«x Tea fails to do what is
claimed for it. Price 25 cents per pack-
age.
