extreme crectly, I desire to say It was
false, for my husband has always treated
ne just as kindly as a husband could
treat his wife and said barge is without
foundation. As to the charge of adultery
I desire to say that my husband has never
given me any cause whatever to think
that he had been guilty of crime of
this kind I had no reason to, and in
fact, did not, believe said charges were
true when 1 made them, and had it not
been for the threats of my brother and
sister I would have maded no such
charges 1 desire to state further that
the ladies with whom 1 have charged my
husband with having been guilty of the
crime Of adultery are perfectly innocent
of the crime, and I feel that have done
them and my husband a great wrong by
making such a charge against them.
ha dino reason to, and in fact did not, be-
lieve said charges when I made them: but
on theh contrary, 1 have every reason
to obeleve them to be worthy, decent and
virtuous ladies' 1t sufficeth to say that
the allegations in the petition in the said
divorce case are untrue and without foun-
dation and that they were made pursuant
to aconspiracy of my said brother and
sister. to iniure my husband. And I hope
that this will be sufficient to repair any
injury that I have done my husband or
said ladies. Respectfully.

TWO SIDES EVEN TO STATEHOOD
Is Given as the Candid Opinion OF the
HennesseY Kicker

Guthrie, o. T., Nov. 6.-Notwithstand-
ing the nearness OF a statehood meeting
at Oklahoma City, statehood discussion is
not frequent in Oklahoma newspapers.
Among the few expressing an opinion is
the Hennessey Kicker, which says: THE
Kicker is for statehood because it is a
step toward advancement and higher civ
ilization, but, after all, it is of no material
benefit except tofthe politician who can't
get in by appointment. Under a terri
torial government our governor. secre-
tary and many other expenses are paid
by Uncle Sam. which, with statehood,
would come from the people. Under ter
ritorial administration the legislature has
restraints thrown around them to keep
them in check in the way of blowing the
peoples money. Our school lands cannot
be disposed of under territorial rule, and
remain a perpetual source of revenue.
Statehood also has its advantages. In
fact there are plainly two sides to this
question if looked at candidly."
