Mrs. sophronia Kimbau Was Walking on
the Track.

Yesterday afternoon, between one and
two o'clock, Mrs. Sophronia Kimball.
the wife of a section hand ON the Show
hogan branch of the Maine Central rail
road, and who resides close by the rail-
road track, was walking on the track at
Pishon's Ferry, towards a train coming
from the opposite direction, when abe
was struck by the engine and thrown
some twenty feet into ditch and almost
instantly killed. Mrs. Kimball was ap-
parently between sixty and sixty-f
years Of age. She was not deaf, and it
gems strange that she should SO deliber-
ately walk into the jaws Of death. The
engineer pulled up as quick as he saw her
but too late to avoid her. She leaves
several children.

Nervous

People often wonder why their nerves are
SO weak; why they get tired so easily;
why they start at every slight but
sudden sound; why they do not sleep
naturally; why they have frequent
headaches, indigestion and
PaIpEtation of the Heart.
The explanation is simple. 1t is found in
that impure blood which is contin-
ually feeding the nerves upon refuse
instead of the elements of strength and
vigor. In such condition opiate and
nerve compounds simply deaden and
do not cure. Hoods Sarssparilla feeds
the nerves pure, rich, red blood; gives

that any year divisible by four is a leap

throws 1900 out. Those of us who will
live four years and week more, will
not only have lived through a calendar
