The highest point of woman's
happiness is reached only through
motherhood, in the clasping of her
child within her arms. Yet the
|mother-to-be is often fearful of
natures ordeal and shrinks from
the suffering incident to its con-
summation. But for natures ills
and discomforts nature provides
remedies, and in Mothers Friend
is to be found q medicine of great
value to every expectant mother
1t is an oily emulsion for external
application, composed of ingredients
which act with beneficial and sooth-
ing effect on those portions of the
system involved. 1t is intended
to prepare the system for the cri-
sis, and thus relieve, in great part,
the suffering through which the
mother usually passes. The regu-
lar use of Mothers Friend will re-
pay any mother in the comfort it
affords before, and the helpful
restoration to health and strength
| it brings about after baby comes.

The man after telling number OF
his friends .nthe city good bye, went
to his room. and lay down on the bed
telling his room mate good bye, The
man was busy dressing and had his
back to Sankey and therefore did not
turn around when;he spoke, hut hear
Ing, a strange sound, looked back OF
Ihlm, and saw that Sankey was lying
on the bed with distorted face, while
a two ounce bottle was beside him.
The roommate Immediately sum:
moned residents Of the house, and a
physician was hurriedly called. but
the doctors forty-fye minute. untiring
work brought no resust.
The man Sankey had wife and
small son, when some few weeks ago
she got the fever. and her people
from Pittsburg came to this city and
got the woman, and child returning
TO Plttsburg with them and since this
sankey had been very respondent.
Many Of the people whom he bid
good bye supposed that lie was going
10 Plttsburg TO see his wife and son,
and did not suspect that he meant to
harm himself. 81.
Sankey,Swas 81 years OF, age, and
was working in this city as a carpcn.
ter on the new Fourth street bridge.
The Williams Undertaking Estab.
lishment took charge Of the remains
after County Coroner Frank o! Lloyd
had been called and viewed the body,
deciding after hearing the evidence
that no inquest was necessary. S
AS yet the relatives have not been
heard FROM. and no arrangements
have been made for the funeral OF
the man. 40 Y
It Is thought that word will lbe4re-
