The Snj»re«ne Court of the State Holds
that it is Constitutional.
Austin, Tex., Nor. 23.—The supreme
court, in an opinion by Judge Gaines,
sustained the constitutionality of the
absolute lease law by refusing the
mandamus application of \V. M. Reed
vs. Charles Rogan, land commissioner.
The law was attacked on two points:
1. That it is violation of article V, sec-
tion IT, of the constitution, which
provides for the sale of the school
lands. 2. That it was not in conform-
ity with section 56, article III, of the
constitution, which requires notice by
publication of the intended passage of
a local or special law, it being con-
tended that the lease law is local, be-
cause it applies only to certain coun-
ties, and that notice was not given of
the intended passage.
With reference to the first point the
court holds that aa the constitution
gave the legislature power to prescribe
the timc3, terms and manner of sale,
"the several legislatures are vested
with unlimited discretion." The court
says: "It is not conceivable that it was
intended to prohibit the legislature
from deriving a revenue by a ltase of
the lands until such time as in its
wisdom it deemed proper to place them
on the market for sale. But the ques-
tion as to the power of the legislature
to authorize leases is no longer an open
one."
The court makes the following ob-
servation: "The only doubt that has
been expressed is as to the validity of
a law authorizing leases which would
operate to prevent a sale of the lands
where desired by a succceding lgisla-
ture. Whether one legislature can, by
authorizing a lease of the school lands,
prevent another from providing for a
sale of the leased premises is a grave
question, but we are not callled upon
to decide it in this case."
In overruling the second point the
court, among other things, says: "The
sales of the school lands of the state
may be a matter of especial importance
to the people who reside in the locall-
tis where they are situated. Thy are1
none the less a matter of interest to!
the people in general and toq the state
itself. Not only is the public school
fund, of which the lands are a part, a
matter of public interest, but also the
provision In question confers upon a
citizen of the state who is capable of
contracting and who may comply with
its conditions the right to lease or pur-
chase the lands therein designated.
"To say that the legislature can not
provide different conditions for the
sale of the lands in one locality from
those provided in another, except by a
law passed under the constitutional re-
strictions as to local legislation, would
be to say that it could not authorize
a sale or make disposition of the land-
ed property owned by it in its capital |
city without giving notice of the in-1
tention to apply for the passage of the!
law, as provided in section G7 of article:
III of the constitution. In such a case
who is to give the notice? The simple
solution of the question is that the pso-'
pie of the state, its people, are inter- !
ested in the property of the state, and
that a law that provides for its sale is'
a general and public law."
The people who pride themsel ves on
being determined are in many in-
fetiiueas only contrary.

Etruscan Art In Perugia. 1
The queen city of the Umbrian hills,
Perugia, is a city replete with the
story of feudal sm and \vi h the genius
of artists, stho ars and painters. A
mountain town, situated 1800 feet
above sea level, on wh it was originally
a rocky acropolis, there are parts o:»
It that antedate Rome. The founda-
tions of the walls were laid more than
8000 years before Christ by the Etrus-
can—a mighty race in their time, but
now almost forgotten—forgotten but
for their art. It ma.y be said that, dy-
ing, they have never died.
Explosion and Fire.
Corsicana, Tex., Nov. 23.—At Powell,
nine miles east of this city, on the Cot-
ton Belt road, between 12 o'clock Wed-
nesday night and 3 o'clock Thursday
morning burglars broke into the gen-
eral store of J. B. Town & Bro. The
burglars got tools from a blacksmith
shop. They blew open a safe and got
$5# or $69 in cash. The explosion that
blew open the safe is supposed to have
set fire to the building, as about S
o'clock Thursday morniag the store
was discovered to be burning, and it
wa« destroyed. From the Towns
building the flames spread to the gen-
eral store of W. W. Adams, in which

also destroyed, only a small portion of
the stock being saved. All the mail

The ordinary every-day life of most of our women is a
ceaseless treadmill of work.
How much harder the daily tasks become when some
derangement of the female organs makes every movement
painful and keeps the nervous system all unstrung !
One day she is wretched and utterly miserable ; in a day
or two she is better and laughs at her fears, thinking there
is nothing much the matter after all; but before night the
deadly backache reappears, the limbs tremble, the lips twitch
—it seems as though all the imps of Satan were clutching
her vitals ; she goes to picces and is flat on her back.
No woman ought to arrive at this terrible state of
misery, because these symptoms are a sure forerunner of
womb troubles. She must remember that Lydia E, Pink-
Iiam's Vegetable Compound is almost an infallible cure
for all female ills, such as irregularity of periods, which cause
weak stomach, sick headache, etc., displacements and in-
flammation of the womb, or any of the multitudes of ill-
nesses which beset the female organism.

" Dear Mes. Pr"truaji:— I am very grateful to you for your kindness
and the interest you have taken in me. and truly believe that your medicines
and advice are worth more to a woman than all the
doctors in the world. My troubles began with inflam-
mation arid hemorrhages from the' kidneys, then
inflammation, congestion and falling of the womb,
and inflammation of the ovaries. I underwent local
treatment every dav for some time; then, after nearly
two months, the doctor gave me permission to go
back to work. 1 went back, but in leas than 8 week
was compelled to give up and go to bed. On break-
ing down the second time, I decided to let doctors
and medicines alone and try your remedies. Before
the first bottle was gone I felt the effects of it.
Three bottles of Lydia E. Ptnkham's Vegetable
Compound and a package of Sanative wash did
me more good than all the doctors' treatments and
medicine I have gained twelve pounds during the
last two months and am better in every way. Thanking you for your
kind advice and attention, I remain. \ ours gratefully,
