Married

Kvery woman covets a
shapely, pretty figure, and
many of them deplore the
loss of their girlish forms
after marriage. The bear-
ing of children is often
destructive to the mother's
shapeliness. All of this can be avoided, however, by the use of
Mother's Friend before baby comes, as this great liniment always
prepares the body for the strain upon it, and preserves the symmetry
of her form. Mother's Friend overcomes all the danger of child-
' rth, and carries thfe expectant mother safely through this critical
, .kid without pain. It is woman's greatest blessing. Thousands
'fully tell of the benefit and relief derived from the use of ih e

ONE MAN CONTROLS THIS
STATE'S INSURANGEB0SINES3
Xo Other State in the Union Holds
Sucli Tight Reins Nor Protects
the Insured Better
CHuthrie, Ok., Feb. 3.—More de-
tailed regulations as to the opera-
tions of insurance companies within
the state are provided in the Rod
te insurance bill, just passed by the
senate than can be found probably
in any other state of the union.
The early sections of the bill take
up the conditions precedent to the
formulation and organization of in-
surance companies, including surety
bond companies, within the state
and provides for every form of in-
surance company now operating
anywhere, except fraternal organi-
zations, which are not covered in
any part of this bill.
Practically entire control of the
insurance companies doing business
in the state is placed in the hands
of the insurance commissioner, who
is given possibly greater power than
in any other state. His duties are
also defined in detail.
Exhaustive provisions are includ-
ed in regard to the regulations and
management of all classes of insur-
ance and surety bond companies.
The classes of securities in which
their funds may be invested are pre-
scribed, but no requirement is made
in regard to investment in this state.
The tax on insurance companies is
left just as outlined by the consti-
tution. Detailed regulations are
provided for the reports of the eom-
panies to the Oklahoma Insurance
company, which must be much more
exhaustive than heretofore, and of
such nature as to give the commis-
sioner a full insight into their busi
ness and financial condition. -
No life insurance policy may be
issued containing provisions limit-
ing the times in which action may
commence to three years; provisions
for any mode of settlement after
majority of less than value than the
amount insured, plus dividend ad-
ditions and less indebtedness; pro-
visions for the forfeiture of a policy
for failure to prepay any loan, or to
pay interest while the total indebt-
edness is less than the loan value.
Advisory boards and special con-
tracts are also barred.
Changes are made in the relation
of the company to the insured in the
case of life companies, so that the
agent is responsible for the acts of
the company, and the agent is
made responsible to the insured in-
stead of to the company, as here-
tofore.
It is also provided that any state-
ment made by the insured in his ap-
plication shall be regarded only as
statements and not as warranties.
HERE ENORMOUS
COACHKS AKIUYK PACKKl>, AHK
EMPTIED AM) LEAVE
CROWDED.
A reporter for the Eagle watched
the Rock Island passengers come in
from the north and south Tuesday
evening about seven o'clock, each
was late, and counted the people who
got on and off these trains. Many
reports have been published of the
volume of traffic in and out of this
city but none of them equal the
facts or do justice to the situation.
Before the northbound passenger
came in every seat in the enlarged
depot waiting rooms was occupieu
and scores were walking about the
rooms, sitting on the fences outside
or pacing up and down the platform
hoping the train would come in a
few minutes. Probably a hundred
were on the platform alone. Oik
would think that a big celebration
was to occur when the trains arrived,
that some notable was to visit the
city or some favorite son to return
a hero and be given a great greet-
ing, judging from the throng that
stood around and the activity of the
place. But it was not so. Tues-
day was just an ordinary occasion
and there was no more crowd there
than can be seen almost any evening.
There was no special excursion on as
there \vas yesterday.
When the train from the south ar-
rived it was impossible to count all
who got off so the reporter stood at
one exit and kept track of those who
emerged from two of the five coach-
es. Before the first persoji came out
however it was easy to see that the
cars were jammed to their utmost
capacity, that every seat in the
coaches was occupied and scores were
standing in the aisle. Fifty-six per-
sons alighted from the one vestibule.
How many got out of the others
would be only guessing. But when
the last one had reached the plat-
form a glance into the coaches show-
ed that not one of them was more
than a third full while two did not
appear to have a fourth of their ca-
pacity occupied.
Then came the re-filling. A seem-
ingly endless stream poured into the
cars until they were as jammed with
humanity as when they arrived at
the depot. Many could not get seats
and as the train pulled out to the
north the aisles were crowded with
the scores who stood up in the
aisles.
A few minutes later the south-
bound rolled in from the north. This
train appeared to be more packed, if
llossible, than the one which ar-
rived earlier. Fifteen minutes were
consumed in gettng the passengers
out and half as long in getting the
departers in. Some where near two
hundred travelers, and perhaps many
more, arrived or took their leave on
these two trains.
Wrhen one considers that the two
trains referred to are but a fraction
of those which run into this city
from ten different directions through-
out the hours of the day, all packed
in like manner as these, it is easy
to see that the passenger traffic out
of Enid is enormous. And it is
growing so rapidly that it will not
be long, at the present rate of in-
crease, until Enid will rise from sec-
ond greatest to the first traffic pro-
ducing point in the state.
THREE TICKETS IX TULSA
Organized Labor With Half the
Vote, Active
Tulsa, Okla., Feb. o.—Organized
labor, which has at least half the
vote in this city, has announced
that, as an organization, it will go
before the people in the coming city
election. This means that a full
ticket will be placed in the field. It
is said that Dr. J. F. Ayars, a prom-
inent republican, was solicited to ac-
cept the nomination for mayor at
the hands of organized labor, but
declined to become their candidate.
This indicates that there will be
three tickets in the field in this el-
ection, the Citizens' Independent,
Democratic and Labor tickets.

So Declares tbe Annual Report
of the Bureau of Corpora- |
tions—Movement is
Beneficial
Washington, Feb. 4.—Commission-
r Herbert Knox Smith, of the Bu-
reau of Corporations, today submit-
ted to secretary Straus of the de-
partment of commerce and labor
tiie annual report of the operations
of his bureau for the year ended
June 30, 1908. In all resepcets, it
is the most important report yet sub-
mitted bv the bureau of corporations. !
The work of the bureau during the]
last fiscal year was more varied than
any similar period since the estab-
lishment of the department of com-
merce and labor. During the year
Commissioner Smith directed inves-
tigations of many important indus-
tries and he now has on hand as cur-
rent work, inquiries into the tobac-
co industry, steel industry, Interna-
tional Harvester company, lumber in-
dustry, cotton exchanges, and water
transportation.
The most important legal work of
the bureau in the last fiscal year
was in connection with a bill for
the amendment of the Sherman law.
A large amount of work also was
done in aiding the department of
justice in the preparation for trial
of cases against the Standard Oil
company for alleged practice of dis-
criminations in railway rates.
Discussing the general subject of
corporate regulation and control,
Commissioner Smith says:
'There is an irresistable move-
ment toward concentration in busi-
ness. We must recognize the fact
that industrial concentration is al-
ready largely accomplished, in spite
of general stautory prohibition. The
aim of new legislation should be to
regulate , rather than to prohibit
combination. It is an obvious ab-
surdity to ft tempt to do both at the
same time, and prohibition has prac-
tically tailed. Our present law for-
bidding all combination, therefore
ds adaptation to the actual facts.
If we are to do anvthing effective
with the corporation question, we
must make an advance on our pres-
ent legislation. The practical object
is to 3ee that business opportunity
and the highways of commerce are
kept equally open to all; to prevent
fraud, special privilege and unfair
competition. To do this, we must
recognize concentration, supervise it,
and regulate it. Above all, we must
have a system of efficient publicity.
Tins is the strongest means for our
purpose. Efficient publicity means
that sort of publicity which reaches
the average citizen under every day
ondilions. A permanent office, af-
•?r collecting material, must also
summarize it for the public, in brief,
clear and reliable conclusion, show-
ing important permanent corporate
tendencies.
'The control by the federal gov-
ernment of corporations should be
broadened into a general construct-
ive system based on tested principles
of supervision, publicity, and co-op-
eration. The Ostafle of such a sys-
tem in its main features should be as
follows:
"It should be cpnated by the fed-
eral Rovernment.
"It should provide for a system
of regular reports from the large in-
terstate corporations.
"Such government office should
l.ave access at all reasonable times
to the record.1 and accounts of such
corporations.
"That office should publish con-
ciosely the important facts disclosed.
It should safeguard from publica-
tion all business secrets.
"Corporations complying with
these requirements should be given
the advantage of a definite federal
registration.
"The system should, if possible be
voluntary.
"Finally, supervision must be ad-
ministrative. Xo other method has
the necessary flexibility.
"We must have a system of su-
pervision which provides a working
basis for conference and co-opera-
tion and which does not rely merely
on criminal procedure and opposi-
tion. There is not only a change in
the attitude of business leaders.
There os also an aroused and in-
telligent demand from the public
for fair business methods and for
equal commercial opportunity for all.
The future of the nation must de-
pend largely upon the stability of
its business machinery. That ma-
chinery cannot be permanent or suc-
cessful unless it operates openly and
Justly. It must place and keep in
control of our groat commercial
forces men who have risen there sole-
ly by superior industrial efficiency.
It must protect such men from the
competition of those who get power
by unfair and illegal methods and
privileges—practices that rely pecul
-larly on secrecy. To do this the gov-
ernment must have such supervision
and control of that corporate ma-
chinery as will maintain In business
the fundamental American ideal of
equal opportunity to fell."
Guthrie, Okla., Feb. 3.—The sen-
ate today recommended to the com-
mittee on appropriations the Dunn
bill from the house, appropriating
$N0,000 for the care Of Oklahoma
prisoners at Lansing, their trans-
portation to Oklahoma, and the de-
ficiency in the appropriation for the
maintenance of the temporary
penitentiary at McAlester.
In order to avoid any appearance
of discrimination in favor of the
lessees, the senate today struck out
two of the restrictive provisions in
the school land bill, one providing
that purchasers who are non-resl-
dents of the state must live on the
land for two years in order to ob-
tain title, and the other that uo one
except lessees who already own 160
acres of land could purchase any of
the school land when sold.
Giving up the idea of securing the
appointment of a joint committee tc
draft the bill, Senator Campbell
Uussell introduced a lengthy bill for
the establishment of an ideal capi
tal on the so-called "New JeniHpl-
em" plan.
An attempt to indefinitely post
pone a bill for district ownership of
school books to be supplied free to
pupils, after the Nebraska plan, fail-
ed.
The Soldans bill from the senate,
amending the drainage law ci *he
state, has passed both houses, the
house adopting it today with the
emergency attached. The bill per-
mits two-thirds of the people in a
drainage district to select the sur-
veyor, to be approved by the county
commissioners, and to order the
discharge of a surveyor on a like
petition.
The house also passed the Sor
rels bill from the senate, giving em-
ployes of mines a lien upon property
of all owners for their wages.

Body of Recluse Pound in Mine
Near Vinita Affords Unusual
Sources of Crime
Speculation
Vinita, Okla., Feb. 3.—County of-
ficers are absorbed in one of the
most profoundly mysterious murders
ever reported In northwestern Okla-
homa. The Identity of the victim
lias just been established. Frank
Handerson, a hermit, whoso life was
scarcely less mysterious than his
death.
Handerson's body was found In a
shallow coal mine near Centralia
last week. For several days no ono
oculd venture a suggestion as to who
the man was. Then some one re-
membered the old hermit who lived
In a small stone dugout near Cen-
tralia.
Tho only cluo to the murderers 1s
that ono day last week two men
were driven out of Bluejacket and
left in the vicinity of the mine where
the body was found. A motive for
I he killing is almost beyond the the-
orizing of the officers. Handerson
may have had money and lost his life
in defending his hoard, but another
i:ay have had money and lost his life
in defending his hoard, but another
and far more thrilling suggestion is
that Handerson was a fugitive from
justice and the men who were driven
from Bluejacket were the avengers
of a deed for which the hermit be-
came a man of solitude.
Supporting this unusual theory is
the discovery of old bullet wounds
in the dad mail's right leg and jaw,
indicating that he had experienced
troublesome times.
No one in this part of the country
knows anything of Handerson. He
seldom left his dugout and mine.
The stone hut resembles more the
liar of a wild animal than a human's
shelter. Pictures of the hermit and
his abode have been secured in the
effort to establish his identity and
perhaps lead to the discovery of his
murderer.
A Winchester shot gun with five
exploded shells and a bloody pick
were found near the body. The top
of the head was beaten right near
the right ear, apparently made by
the pick, caused death.
The hermit was perhaps 48 or 50
years old, rather large, with dark,
bushy beard and unkempt hair of
dark sandy color, worn long.
