about the weightler matters of justice

Believe He Was Murdered.

Wichita, Kan. May 28.-Suspicion
by authorities that foul play may have
entered into the tragedy which ended
in the death of Henry E. Sights. who
was found dying in the road near his
home, southeast of the city, last We'd
nesday night, grows stronger as the
investigation proceeds. Nearly all the
circumstances surrounding his mystic
rious death point to murder as it's
cause except a motive seems to be
lacking. Mr.. Sights is said to have
carried only SO in his pocket on the
night of his fatal injury, and this
money was found in his trousers pock-
ct after he was taken to his home.
Post mOrtem examination of the
dead mans skull developed the fact
that death was caused by a terrific
blow on the skull, causing a fracture
which extended from ear to ear, and
hemorrhage of the brain. A blood
clot nearly as large as a hens egg
was found on the brain, near the left
ear.

NOTEfERSNs

No young woman, IN the joy Of
coming motherhood, should neglect
to prepare her system for the physi.
cal ordeal she is to undergo. The
health of both herself and the coming
child depends largely upon the care
she bestows upon herself during the
waiting months. Mothers Friend
prepares the expectant mothers sys-
tenn for the coming event, and its use
makes her comfortable during all the
term. It works with and for nature,
and by gradually expanding all tis-
sues, muscles and tendons, involved,
and keeping the breasts in good con-
dition, brings the woman to the crisis
in splendid physical condition. The
baby, too, is more apt to be perfect and
strong where the mother has thus
prepared herself for natures supreme
function. No better advice could be
given young expectant mother than
that she use Mothers Friend; it is
