¡day of September, 1906—that
during said time she lived and co-
habited with the jdeféjftdañt, she
had two children, a girl named
¿Myrtle Simpson, aged now about
5 years old ánd a bo}' named El-
bert Simpson, aged now about ;3
years of age. That defendant
disregarding his marital vows,
f within about a year began a
course of harsh and tyrannical
conduct towards this plaintiff.
That such course of harsh treat-
. ment continued with slight in-
; termission, until she finally sep-
arated from defendant about
r. Sept 25.-1906. Plaintiff further
; alleges that defendant is also
,• guilty of inflicting serious bodily
injury upon'her, and cursed and
abused plaintiff arid told this
plaintiff that if she told her fath-
er of it he would kill him, and
1 by reason of the cruel and harsh
- and dangerous treatment towards
v.* her by the defendant, she was
* • forced to abandon the defendant
. which she did do about the date
above set out, to-wit on the 25th
day of Sept. 1906, at which date
the defendant herein cursed and
abused plaintiff and struck her
with his fist, and choked her un-
, til she was almost dead, and then
left her and her two children
without money or provisions.
That since said separation defen-
dant has refused and still refuses
to provide for the support of her-
self and two children. Plaintiff
prays the court that defendant
be cited to appear and answer
this petition, and upon final hear-
ing hereof, she have judgment of
the court dissolving the marriage
relations now existing between
herself and the said defendant,
and also prays that the said chil-
dren be awarded to her and that
a decree be made forever re-
straining the defendant from in-
terfering with said children, and
judgment for the costs, and for
such other relief, both general
and special to which she may
show herself to be entitled.
Herein fail not, but have you

next regular term, this writ with
your return thereon, showing
how you have executed the same.

One of the most important re-
quirement in a medicine to be
given to small children should be
that it is pleasant to take. Bad
tasting medicine disturb the
stomach, destroy the appetite and
it is extremly difficult to get
children to take them. The
pleasant flavor of Re-Go Tonic
Laxative Syrup, the certain cure
for Dyspepsia, Constipation, and
Biliousness pleases the most sen-
sitive persons is the ideal laxative
for young children. 25c, 50c arid

Why Does He Get. it?
The attorney general has not
been frank with the people with
respect to the disclosures affect-
ing his Galveston law firm. The
facts show: That the attorney
general, prior to going to Austin
to assume his public duties, made
his law partner of his official staff
and then proceed to organize a
new law firm; second, he became
a part of a new firm on January
2 and took the oath of office about
two weeks later; third, the new
lawfirin was arid is engaged in
corporation practice; fourth, the
attorney gonérjil draws monthly
from the firm $100 a month, al-
though taking rio part in the ac-
tive work of the firm.
Who can doubt that a firm ea-
igaged ill corporation practice
arid having to do withpublic ser-
vice corporations is an advanta-
geous* position when one of its
members is the chief taw officer
of the state? And whether Mr.
Davidson's motive was to build
Up a Corporation practice to be
enjoyed by him after his retire-
merit ;or to impress corporations
with the belief that business in-
trusted to his firm would have
little to fear from the state, the.
fact remains that he was practi-
cing influence and would have
been, even had he not drawn a
stipulation of $100 a month.
According to his own admis-
sions, he has drawn not less than
$3900 from the combination he
organized just before entering
upon his public duties, and as it
was not paid for work it must
have been paid for intiuence—
just what he and his crowd have
been'; falsely charging against
Senator Bailey.
And so we find the record
showing that Cone Johnson was
endeavoring to get a district
.judge to divert a bank deposit on
the ground that its diversion
would benégt him (Johnson) to
the extent of 3 per cent of thé
deposit so diverted.
This is a fine bunch to be going
upland down the State preaching
ideals and assailing the character
of a United States senator. Do
they think for a moment that
the people do not see how empty
and hypocritical their pretenses
are;—Houston Post.
Death was on His Heels.
Jesse P. Morris, of Skippers,
Va., had a close call in the spring
of 1906. He says: "An attack of
pneumonia left trie so weak and
such a fearful cough that my
friends declared that consump-
tion.had me, and death was on
my hp els. Then I was persuad-
ed to try Dr. King's New Dis-
covery. It helped me immedi-
ately, and after taking two and a
half bottles I was a well man
again. I found out that New
Discovery is the best remedy for
coughs and lung disease in all the
world." Sold under guarantee
