when it is borne on her that she is shad-

momentous in woman's life as this.
A new look grows upon her face, a new
dignity clothes her. She turns her face
back to the mothers of the world.
WHO to her cross and passion bring
Their fellowship of suffering"
But in her very hour of uplifting
perhaps there falls upon her the shadow
of coming suffering, and she shrinks
from it. anticipating the burden almost
too great for her strength.
For it is a fact that the child which
should be a blessing seems, sometimes,
a curse. There is no strength to nurse
or nourish the little one, who tugs
vainly at the dry fountain of the breast
with eager, thirsty lips.
Why is it?
Why must women pay such painful
price for motherhood? 1t seems I'M
reasonable and unnatural that such a
price should be exacted for the simple
fulfllment of the law of being. For
Nature echoes and enforces the divine
command increase and multiply"
1t is unreasonable and unnatural that
woman alone should be singled out for
such a penalty. Every living thing
brings forth fruit after his kind nat
urally, regularly, and without strain or
struggle as compared with the strain
and struggle of human motherhood.
The first thing that every woman needs
to be taught is that the larger part Of
WOMAN'S SUFFERING IS UN-
NATURAL
and unnecessary. That apart from the
momentary birth pang, maternity should
be joy unalloyed. If it is not SO it is
because of
''---the social laws

because in succeeding generations wo-
men have sacrificed their vital forces

that all this could be changed; that
children could be borne with little pain
and nursed with boundless pleasure if
the lost vital power could be restored to
women. All woman needs is strength,
and if she can obtain that. the ordeal
of maternity loses all its terrors. Tens
of thousands of women have found this
strength in the use OF DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription. To give strength

of John Osborn, marshal of Chauncey,
were arrested near here last night and
were brought here and kept until the

Two negroes commitIed the murder on
Jan. 81 The marshal was on his rounds
collecting street taxes, and ran upon
crowd of negroes engaged in gambling.
They supposed he was trying TO arrest
them, and two of the negroes shot him
dow.-.
These negroes were Cam Stevens alias
Henry Willis, and Win Wilson, alias John
Davis. Every effort was made to capture
them at the time, but all were failures.
7-ne negroes were tracked in this direction
ana were finally located. one of them at

Sheriff Rogers of Dodge county has been

night Cam Stevens was arrested at Winn,

by Sheriff Rogers, assisted by Deputy
Sheriff Knowles of Hamilton county, and
a young white man named Arthur job

other negroes at the still, who wanted to
rescue the murderer from his captors
The pistol with which Osborn was muir

brought here.

county, then employed hacks and went to
Dasher Station, where the other negro,
Win Wilson, was arrested
Both of the negroes made a full CON
fession of the murder, and told al about
how il happened. They were carried to
Eastman this morning.
There is much Indignation there over the
killing of Marshal Osborne, who was an
oil and popular citizen, and 1t is very
probable that one, if not both, of the
murderers will suffer for he crime
