RISING!

And many other painful and serious
ailments from which most mothers
suffer, can be avoided by the use of
I "MoMi Frisal." This great remedy
is a God-send to women, carrying
them through their most critical
ordeal with safety and 110 pain.
No woman who uses ''Mother's Friend" need fear the suffering
and danger incident to birth; for it robs the ordeal of its horror
*nd insures safety to life of mother and child, aud leaves her in
« condition more favorable to speedy recovery. The child is
ftlso healthy, strong and
good natured. Our book

The question of examination fees
brought forward an titer debate, an.)

floor, when he so ght to have the fees
of examinaion and i suing ceitiri aies
reduced from to $10. Mr. Brook
opi>. si- i. and ihe discussion brought
the statement from Hatchett that his
vote never went in accordance with
the law of any other slate; adding
that the ©vils of other states should
be avoided by those of a new one, as
the errors of our day will be made
known to the children of tomorrow.
Th. motion to reduce was deieated by
a majority of one.

He brought up the fees charged by the
State board of health sin e the ad-

I~iwu n Okla. /March iv This morn-
ing In the sixteenth division of ih
district court before District Judge
J. T. Johnson, opened the trial of John
Hopkins, the Kingston (Mo.) gambler
ml minor, who, with tno use of a steak
beater aud carbolic acid, murdered
nis w ite in this city tm ihe eveniug of
October 1907, and who has since
that time beeu incarcerated iu the Co
mauche count jail. Acting for the
d fense, through the appolntmeut ot
th eourt, is W. C. Henderson, a mem-
ber of the Uiwton bar. For the pros-
ecution are County Attorney John A.
Fain. Assisian County Attorney John
M. Young ami Judge Lotrs Davis, who
has been employed b> the iather of the
murdered woman.
Because of the unusual brutality of
the murder ai;d the excitement caused
at th • time it is expected that diffi-
culty will be experienced i f securing
a jury. The trial will continue for
several days.
Hopkins ha- entered a pha of not

eived in a mine explosion during the
Mouth of November 1906. While the
prosecution gives no credence what*
this theory ami while all the
evidence thus far made public favors

surprises are to be sprung by the de-
fense.
At the time of the murder Hopkins
ami his wife had been mafriutl about
in years during the greater part of
which they hdlived in Kingston, Mo.
For a time he worked in the mines and
supporter his family well. Later he
contracted th habit of drinking and
gambling and often abused his wife-
After enduring this treatm nt for
many years the wife left him ami re-
turned to her father. This was in tin-
spring of 1907. Soon afterward Hop-
kins tried to induce the wife to r turn
to him. She refused and Iu . b otning

ated a disturbance that his lather in-

Hopkins came to Lawton. He arrived
here Friday, October and Saturda>

avoided him. Twice more ne tried to

of her brother-in-law. J. J. Galyon, sh 1
li eni d to another plea for her return
or the custody of ihe children. Again

her no more.

"JOHN HOPKINS."
I Cit zcns Threatened Lynching.
j Immediately following the death of
Mrs. Hopkins, more than ."•< enraged
citizens of the city collected in groups
and threatened until loug after mid
night to attempt mob law. From this
j attempt they were only prevented by
the news that Hopkins himself was at
the point of death and by the fact
that the th n acting governor Chart's
II. Filsou. had ordered out for duty the
local company of Oklahoma national
guards to assist the sheriff in retaining
his prisoner.

ONLY LIVING
EXFRES1DENT
Princeton, N. J., March IS.—Crover
Cleveland, the only Ilvlier ex president
it the.United Stales, was I veais old
today. Though he has lived in practi-
cal retirement since he h it the White
House more than ten years ago. Mr.
Cleveland has not by any menus been
forgotten by his former political asso-
ciate his personal friends and his
legion of admirers. This was evi-
denced today by th« receipt of count-
less letters and message of congratu-
lations at the Cleveland home iu this
Th felicitous greetings came
from all sections of the cnuntrv and
from men and women in all walks of
life and of all shades of political be-
lief.
Mr. Cleveland will take no pa:t in
the coming presidential campaign. ':ir>
intentions in this regard have been
made plain to friends who have Hp
prouched him on tin subject Tin?
anti-Bryan element anion? the demo-
rats of New Jersey would like to have
had Mr. Cleveland go to the Denvt.r
convention as a delegate from this
state. Old line democrats in New
Yoik and throughout the East wero
teady to support the plan but Mi.
Cleveland could not be jiersuaded to
give his consent. It Is possible thi.t
tin -events of the corning campaign
may so shape themselves as to bring
from the ex-president a formal state
nient setting forth his views on the
questions at issue but he has given his
friends to understand that so far •*'.«
any public appearance or spe« eli male

PREPARED FOR MINERS' STRIKE
Coal Dealers and Railroads Have
Stored Vast Quantities of Fuel.
Chicago. March IT.—Coal in huge
quantities is being stored by the rail-
roads and by dealers In Chicago w ho
have contracts for supplying big e;
tablishnients. The incentive is the
jfossibility of a strike among the hi
tuminous miners In the next three
months.
For some time the railroads have
I een rushing huudreds of tons of co.d
to depositories, some or these being in
Chicago but most of them at adja-
cent points.
Some of the roads are said to be ■ V
ready in a position where the immedi-
ate calling of a strike would not cm
liarrass them because of the vast
masses of coal they have on hand,
while the other roads soon will be n
an equally good position.
