defining and prohibiting discrimination
aaginst persons seeking employment., the
intention being to prevent blacklisting of
employes and secret publication of names
of employes blacklisted by one corpora-
tion to another.
The committee amendments which con-
siderably modify the bill were adopted.
One Important series of committee
amendments struck out of the bill all the
provisions for charter forfeiture for vio-
lating the act, and another series with-
drew the acts of "employes'* and "persons
employed" as susceptible of violating the
law, confining the acts to officers, re-
ceivers or agents. Another committee
amendment adopted was changed to read;
"Said written cause of discharge if true
when so made by such agent company or

!h« » n?west» but the Senate made
the bill read "lowest and best" bid.

adopted permitting the awarding of sep-
arate olds for separate classes of work.

adopted providing that the Commission-
ers shall advertise annually for such
bids and not at any specific tim
henator Brachfield secured the adop-
tion of an amendment making the bill
optional with the counties and striking
out the word "required."
Senator Brachfield offered an amend-
ment authorizing counties to withdraw
trorn under the bill, if they see lit, upon
the expiration of a contract for printing
and supplies. It was adopted.
Senator Green called attention to the
fact that the bill requires the printing
to be done in Texas and said that as
there were only about two houses in
Texas which could do the greater part
of the printing, one of which was at
Dallas, the biggest printing trust in the
country would soon be flourishing
Texas, and that it would benefit his
town, but tiiat he did not want th>
people imposed upon.
Senator Willacy had an amendment
adopted opening competition to all.
Senator Grinnan offered an amendment
providing that where material and work
inferior to that contracted is furnished
only one-fourth of the contract price
shall be paid. The amendment was de-
feated and the bill was finally passed.
The Senate concurred in House amend-
ments to the Senate joint resolution pro-
posing an amendment to tlie Constitu-
tion creating a State Department of Ag-

ating a State department <»i Education.

lect fees and wrongfully retain them;

cient road system foi Robertson County.

providing that a petition of a majority of
the taxpayers of any school district may
crder an election to increase the school
tax.
Senator Looney called up his bill on
private corporations requiring 50 per cent
of their actual stock to he paid up at
incorp >ration and tho remainder within
the two years.
When the bill was last considered all
was stricken out of it except the provi-
sions for capitalization.
Senator Looney offered an amendment
to add several of the sections which had
been stricken out. It was adopted.
The sections added provide the meth-
ods by which capital stock of corpora-
tions may be increased and decreased
and corporations voluntarily dissolved,
and prohibiting corporations from con-
tributing their funds in behalf of
candidate or other election contest.
As thus amended a second time the
bill passed finally.
The House bill restoring and conferring
civil and criminal jurisdiction upoli the
County Court, of Gray County was final-
ly passed. The same action was taken
on the House bill providing a method
whereby those residing between two
stock districts may invoke the law pro-
hibiting stock running at large.
Senator Senter secured the final pas-
sage >f House bill defining the bound-
aries of the Fourteenth and Forty-fourth
Judicial Districts, both in Dallas Coun-
ty. wiping out the dividing line and mak-
ing both extend over the entire county.
Senator Brachfield calk-d up the House
bill providing that railroad employes
shall not be permitted to work over
t< urteen hours continuously without
having eight hours lay-off or rest.
Senator Stone offered an amendment
to strike out fourteen hours and insert
sixteen hours, so as to conform to the
Federal statute.
Senator Brachfield opposed tho amend-
ment, p.s the Federal statute requires a
train crew to abandon a train regardless
of its location at the end of sixteen hours,
while the bill permits the crews to con-
tinue over fourteen hours if the train
is within twenty miles of a terminal or
switch. In order to reach the terminal
or switch.
Senator Griggs offered an amendment
which would relievo the roads of viola-
tion If it "permits" employes to over-
work, but shall be guilty only where it
"requires" suoh working overtime.
There being some opposition to the
amendment Senator Willacy had a sub-
stitute adopted which holds the road
liable for violations and penalties when
it requires or "knowingly" permits em-
ployes to work over fourteen hours, etc.
The bill as amended was then finally
passed.
Senator Meachum had spread on the
journal a motion to rescind the vote by
which the Senate reconsidered and ta-
bled the vote finally passing the House
bill requiring railroad trains to be oper-
ated with full or complete crews.
Senator Looney objected to the motion
and called it up and moved that it be
tabled.
Senator Meachum explained the dif-
ference between the two bills and said
the Senate committee acted only after
a patient and exhaustive hearing and
that In the rush today in passing bills
the House bill was innocently passed
without members knowing it was differ-
ent from the substitute Senate bill. He
said he only wanted a fair chance to
press the claims of the substitute and
would call it up Monday when the ques-
tion could be settled one way or the
ether.
Senator Looney insisted on having it
decided at once.
Senate r Meachum said the bill had gone
to the House and his motion includes a
recall of it.
Senator Looney renewed his motion to
table the motion.
Senator Skinner, presiding, said that
the motion to recall must be acted upon
first in order that tho Senate might have
the bill within Its jurisdiction.
As the debate promised to lengthen.
Senator Griggs executed a coup by mov-
ing to adjourn until 10 o'clock Monday
morning. It carried, 13 to 10.

AUSTIN, Tex., March 21.—W. D. Silli-
man of San Angelo returned from Fort
Worth today, where he had been attend-
ing the cattlemen's convention.
"The reports going out of Fort Worth
that the convention was opposed to the
Wilmeth bill, regulating stock yards, are
misleading.'' he said. "The vote was
taken one evening after most of the cat-
tlemen had gone and then carried by a
vote of 60 to 58. The next morning on
a motion of Mr. Hume <»f Austin the
question was reconsidered and the action
of the day before was rescinded by an
almost unanimous vote.
"The demonstration in favor of tho bill
almost took off the roof. The cattlemen
are in favor of the bill."

tion to table his motion to reconsider tlie

CATARRH
A UNIVERSAL
BLOOD DISEASE
Catarrh is usually worse in Winter, because of the cold, damp and
suddenly changing climate. Colds are contracted, and neglected and as the
secretions from the different inflamed membranes are absorbed into the blood
the unpleasant symptoms of the disease commence. The nostrils are
stopped up aad-a constant dropping of mucous back into the throat keeps
up a continual hawking and spitting. The patient lias dull headaches,
ringing noises in the cars, and often slight fever and a depressed, half-sick
feeling accompanies the disease. The blood becomes so fully charged with
catarrhal matter that stomach troubles are brought on, the kidneys and
bladder are affected, and if the blood is not purified of the poison the lungs
become diseased because of the constant passage of impure blood through
them. Catarrh cannot be cured with washes, sprays, inhalations and such
treatment: these cannot reach the poison-laden blood where the real cause is
located, and can only give temporary relief
and comfort. A disease which affects the
entire blood supply as does Catarrh, must
be treated with a blood purifier. S. S. S.
is the best remedy for Catarrh, which has
grown to be a universal disease. It goes to
PURELY VEGETABLE the bottom of the trouble, rids the blood of
the catarrhal matter, reinvigorates the cir-
culation, and cures this disgusting disease permanently. When S. S. S. has
purified the blood every part of the system receives a supply of fresh,
healthy blood; then the inflamed membranes heal and every symptom of
Catarrh passes away. Write for our book containing information about
Catarrh, and ask for any medical advice you desire. No charge is made foe
