Your Physical Condition

Needs attention at this time. II YOU
are tired, weak and nervOus:it is clear
that your blood is impure, and with.
out doubt there has been too much
oyer-work or strain on brain and
body. The course of treatment for
such condition is plain and simple
The blood must first be purified SO
that the nervous system, and in fact
all the organs will be fed upon pure
blood. Intelligent people without
number have testified that the best
blood purifier, nerve tonic and strength
imparting medicine is Hoods Sarsa-
parilla. Nervousness, loss of sleep
and general debility all vanish when
Hoods Sarsaparilla is persistently
taken; in a word, health and happi-
ness follow after taking Hoods Sar.
saparilla.

The Courier's Account of Hedden's
Death.

Death.
The following account of Charles
Hedden's death, from Wednesdays
Winfield Courier, gives a more full
account Of the accident than our
article Of last week:
Charles Hedden, a well known
Santa Fe Switchnan, was run over by
the cars this morning and instantly
killed. The accident happened at
1912 and death was instantaneous.
He was killed at the switch on the
side track connecting the Santa Fe
and Frisco roads just south Of Ninth
avenue, and only about half a block
from where a little child was run over
and killed a few years ago.
The engine was pushing a short
train Of cars south, and Mr. Hedden
had opened the switch leading to the
side track and had then climbed the
ladder on the west ,ideOftheend O
the front car. At the second switch
he jumped from the car and started
across the track east to the switch,
in front Of the train which was mov-
ing slowly, and stumbled, falling
under the train with his body across
the rail, his head to the east. Three
pairs Of trucks passed over him before
the train was stopped.
Fireman Charles Thomas saw his
hat roll out from between the first
and second cars, and suspecting that
something was wrong gave the signal
to stop.
1T Is more than probable that after
the first pair of trucks passed over
him he made an effort to get out, for
his head came in contact with some.
thing with sufficient force to break
bis neck.
His watch was broken and it
stopped at 1910.
"There we're five men with the
train, as follows: Yardmaster George
Dornblaser, Switchman Robert Wool
colt, Engineer W. R. Drumm, Fire.
man Charles Thomas and Mr.. Hedden.
"Mrs. Schoneld, the only eye witness
to the accident, says that when Mr..
Hedden fell he had ample time to get
up and out Of the way, and she thinks
he was unconscious when he fell. She
saw him put his hand to his forehead
just before he fell"
