TO SAVE HIS JOB.
An Engineer Loses His Life on the
Chicago & Northwestern.

Chicago, Oct. 28.-Obedience to the
new state law, which requires that a
locomotive engineer must not be on
duty longer than 16 hours cost the life
of William Strommer of the Chicago &
Northwestern railroad, who died in the
hospital at Waukegan.
Strommer was on a heavy freight
train running from Milwaukee to Chi
cago. He reached Norton Park, when
he realized that he could not get to
Chicago in time by pulling the whole
train.
The rules of the company permit a
man to abandon his train and rush
his engine to headquarters. This
Strommer tried to do by pulling his
train on a side track and leaving the
caboose on the main line. In bringing
back the engine to the caboose it over
turned and he was pinned beneath it,
crushed and scalded by the boiling
water.
Had he not reached Chicago within
the Is hours he would have been dis
charged. The fine against the conf
pany is 500 for each offense.

A WORD TO MOTHERS
DOES YOUR DAUGHTER NEED
MORE STRENGTH?
This Tonic Treatment Solves One
ofthe Most P Pulling Problems
for Parents of Girls in
Their Teens.

A growing girl who is confined within
doors too much of the time, who over
works, overstudies or is depressed by
worry or care, needs the tonic treatment
if she would avoid injury to her health
which will mar her whole life.
In addition to proper tonic the patient
should have nourishing and easily digest
ed food, pure air and sunshine, rest and
sleep. Parents whose daughters grow de-
bilitated as they enter their teens should
not watch them fade and droop but
should ensure their healthful womanhood
by the treatment which is endorsed in
the following statement from Miss Frances
R. Roche, of No. 1925 E. Evans avenue.
Pueblo, Colo Miss Roche says:
81 suffered from weakness for nearly
year when / was changing from girl
hood to womanhood. I became all run
down in health and had but very little
blood. 1 did not have any strength and
could hardly drag around. There SEEM
ed to be no life in me. Every month l
passed through intense suffering. l had
dizzy and vomiting spells and constant
headaches. 1 was obliged to give up my
work for time.
81 took medicine from a doctor but
without relief. Through friend advice
gave DR.. Williams Pink Pills a trial
and was completely cured l am well
trouble. My mother has since used the
pills as tonic and thinks as highly OF
them as 1 do"
Dr. Williams Pink Pills are guaran-
teed to be safe and harmless to the most
delicate constitution. They contain no
morphine, opiate, narcotic, or anything
to cause drug habit. Owing to their
bodybuilding property they are invalu-
able in the treatment of such diseases as
anemia, green sickness, rheumatism, and
the after-effects of fevers.
A new edition of our booklet. Diseases
of the Blood" giving more information
about the treatment will be sent free on
request to anyone interested.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists, or will be sent, postpaid, on
receipt of price, so cents per box; six
boxes for $3.50, by the DR.. Williams
Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

GASOLINE IRON FATAL.
Mrs. Ralph MatIock of Burton Is
Fatally Burned.

Burton, Kan. Oct. 28.-A sad ac-
cident occurred five miles southwest of
this place, when Mrs. Ralph Matlock, a
young farmers wife, was fatally burn
ed in a fire in her home.
The blaze started from a gasoline
iron which she was using, and before
she realized it, her clothing was blaz-
ing from head to foot. All her clothes
were burned off, and the comforts, in
which she wrapped herself in her en-
deavors to extinguish the flames. She
rang up central and told them of her
plight but when neighbors whom cen
trail at once summoned arrived she
was so badly burned that death re-
suited at 4 p. m. She leaves a hus-
band and three children. The funeral
was held TO-DAY.

TOWN NEARLY WIPED OUT.
Citizens Compelled to Fight Fire With
out Engines.

Pittsburg, Oct 2S.-After fighting the
flames from midnight until long after
dawn the tired residents of Boswell
a mining town in Somerset county, to-
day looked out upon a scene of desola-
ton. Property to the value of $3.50
had been destroyed. The hotel, bust
ness houses and seven dwellings were
burned
The fire was fought with buckets and
water from every available source Of
supply, aid from nearby towns being
lost because the railroad could not pro-
vide locomotives to carry fire engines
to the stricken village.
