Leon Women are Finding Relief at

1t does seem that women have more
than fair share of the aches and pains
that aiflct humanity; they must Keep
up, must attend to duties in spite of
constantly aching backs, or headaches,
dizzy spells, bearing down pains; they
must stoop over, when to stoop means
torture. They must walk and bend and
work with racking pains and many
aches from kidney ills. Kidneys cause
more suffering than any other organ of
the body. Keep tie Kidneys we'll and
health is easily maintained. Read Of a
remedy for kidneys only that helps and

suffering the tortures of backache when
such an effective remedy can be pro-

Leo Hopkins Killed by Cars at
Malvern.

A terrible tragedy occurred here
Sunday morning in which George
Hopkins, a young man who has been
working for Pat kilmartin for some
time past lost his life. Parties discov-
cred his lifeless and mutilated remains
alongside of the Burlington track near
the Wabash crossing about 8 o'clock
Sunday morning. His left arm was cut
off and his skull was smashed in at the
back, probably killing him instantly.
Coroner Campbell was notified and
after examination had undertaken
White bring the remains into town. An
inquest was held Monday at which
time it was brought out that Hopkins
whose home is in Kellerton, Iowa, was
about y years of age and had been here
all fall. Saturday night he and some
companions were in town drinking
heavily. Sunday morning they went up
to the Burlington depot with the inten-
ton of going to Omaha. He did not
buy ticket so it is thought that he
was trying to beat his way and fell Off,
after the train gained good Roadway
with the above results. The coroner's
jury returned a verdict that death was
due to an accident for which the victim
was responsible and eXonerated the
railroad company from all blame. The
jury as empaneled was composed of
Messrs. J. p. Jones, Ward Jones and
w. d. Clark.
The unfortunate victim was fairly
we'll dressed and $3.50 in change was
found in his pockets. He was known
around here among the boys as "Klon-
dixie" and was we'll liked by his asso-
ciates. He was a good worker and
when not drinking was rather nice
sort of a chap. 1t is very much re-
gretted that he should meet such an
untimely end.
His parents were notified at once
By their orders the remains were sent
to Kellerton Monday evening for burial
