liver and bowel troubles through a
free sample. Mrs. Frank Lilly of
Plainview, ILL.,, sent for one and it
cured her and she is open in saying
that she will never take pills or strong
cathartics again, as Syrup Pepsin acts
so mildly. Mr.. w. L. Bryant, the
Postmaster at Sardis, Tenn, says he
will never be without it again. No
sick person can afford to ignore a
remedy SO highly endorsed as this.
1t is good for all the family from
infancy to old age, because it is mild,
free from gripping and yet promptly
effective. Furthermore, results are
absolutely guaranteed or money will

FRISCO BRAKEMAN
KILLED BY TRAIN

w, E. Ferguson, young brake.
man on the Frisco railroad running
between Pocahontas and Poplar
Bluff, was crushed between two
couplings of his train at Biggers last
Thursday morning, from the effects
of which he died at Poplar Bluff
three hours later.
The victim was placed aboard a
caboose and an engine pulled the
car at great speed to Poplar Bluff,
after two Biggers physicians had
done all they could without avail.
The special train arrived there at
ll:45 o'clock but Ferguson never
was removed from the caboose. Tie
was conscious and did not complain.
He passed away at 1859 o'clock,
IA minutes after the tram reached
the Bluff.
Ferguson was engaged at coup
ling two cars. When they bumped
together the knuckle of one was not
open and one bounced back. He
stepped between the cars, according
to report, directly between the two
couplings. The car that had bound
ed away was on slight incline and
gently rolled back, so noiselessly as
not to attract the attention of the
brakeman.
HIS body was between the two
knuckles when the cars met again.
The knuckles, heavy iron, caught
him in the stomach and pinched
HIM until they penetrated his body.
His frame was almost mashed in
twain.
The young man was about 81
years Of age. He was the son of
II. j. Ferguson, a section foreman
of this city, who as soon as he was
notified of his sons death, went to
Poplar Bluff and took the remains
to the family burying grounds at
