Mr.. Albert Hammers Of Enid, who
saw the derailment and wreck on the
south bound Rock Island freight train

ternoon at 4 o'clock, says it was the

cows about 500 feet ahead OF them. The
train was running ar an unusual high
speed. One Of the cows got in the mid
die Of the track and started toward the
fast approaching train. They whistled
10 try and scare the animal from off the
track, but to no avail When they saw
that there was no likelihood that the
COW would leave the track. Engineer
Berry opened the throttle wide, hoping
to knock the COW clear off the track.
The pilot struck the animal and it made
a complete somersault. her head getting
benea IN the pilot. The engine ran along
for some distance and finally turned
over. Just before the engine left the
track entirely, Mr.. Berry jumped and
struck some railroad iron alonside OF
the track. Several cars piled upon him
Instantly. When ne was taken from the
debris life was extinct. Fireman Grant
staid on the engine and when the crash
came ne was thrown with great force
against the boiler and his face was bad
ly smashed: 50 bad in fact that ne was
unable to speak, though conscious. He
may not live. although everything is be-
ing done that human skill can d.. Az
ter several hours the track was cleared
and traffic on ther osd was resumed.

The People Believe
What They Read About Hoods
Sarsaparilla
Their Faith in This Medicine is
Grounded on Merit
They Know 1t Absolutely Cures
When Other Medicines Fail

Wh0n Otnc1 "0OtCtnSS = du
Hoods Sarsaparilla is not merely SIM
pie preparation of Sarsaparilla, Dock,
Stiliingia and a little Iodide of Potassium.
Besides these excellent alternatives, it
also contains those great enti-bilious and
liver remedies, Mandrake and Dandelion.
1t also contains those great kidney RENE
dies, iva Ursi, Juniper Berries, and
Pipsissewa.
Nor are these all. Other very valuable
curative agents. are harmoniously COM
bined in Hoods Sarsaparilla, and it is
carefully prepared under the personal
supervision of regularly educated phar.
macist.
Knowing these facts, is the abiding faith
the people have in Hoods Sarsaparilla a
matter of surprise? You can see why
Hoods Sarsaparilla cures, when other
medicines totally, absolutely fail.
"My little girl was afflicted with
eczema and suffered for seven years. She
was attended by physicians and tried
many different kinds of medicine with
out relief. After taking few bottles of
Hoods Sarsaparilla she was cured" Mrs.

In Memoriam of Joseph C. Eccles.
On the Goth OF April, 1897, at the hour Of

loved work of unfolding the doctrines of
God to his friends here, to those clear reye-
lations Of Gods will and ways which are
only given to those who have entered the

honored classmate. Born on March the
9Th, 1878, after short but useful life, be en-.
tered into the "rest which remains for the
people of God"
Itwas his high privilege to Idle in the
harness. and to cease at once to work and
live" He had the second Sabbath before
his death, expounded with us the doctrine
of the good angels, and like the toiler who
had finished his days work, he received
the reward of the Master "Well done. good
and faithful servant" y, Hewas unceasing
in his labors until life's close;he had accept
ed the atonement Of Christ; these form the
visible monument to his memory, but there
is another monument, unseen to human eye,
which he has left in the hearts of his asso-
ciates and friends. Those who have known
him win need no analysis of his qualities
as q young man son or brother, and a
sclsssmate. As youth the gentleness of his
spirit was in beautiful harm ony with bis
rugged adherence to his views of right; as q
son, logical, often rising to the highest elo-
quence; as brother faithful to every en-
gagement. considerate, clear. and impress
sive; as classmate keen in analysis, lumi-
nous in statement, stunning no difficult
ties, in ali respects one of the master minds
of his time. He inspired in Church love,
reverence, and confidence, in the commu.
nifty the esteem which comes from faithful
citizenship; in the Church that affection
which belongs to brother greatly be-
loved He was faithful INTO DEATH and
has won the Grown of life.n

But we know God has bereft as,
