DR.. w. s. CONNECT MEETS
DEATH AS A RESULT OF
AN AUTO ACCIDENT

DR.. w. S. Connect, one of the prom.
inent physicians and business men
of northern New Mexico. a residen,
of Ration, came to his death. Sunday
morning, as a result of an auto acct
dent, which occurred some Is miles
south of the city of Pueblo, Colo
DR.. Connect left Ration early Sunday
morning in his car for Denver, where
he expected to spend a few days with
his wife and son., who are visiting
friends in that city.
Reliable information from the fam
lily of A. T. Purcell of indianapolis,
Ind, who were enroute from their
home to Dallas, Tex, and who ar
rived at the scene Of the accident a
few moments after it happened, is to
the effect that a party of two young
men and two young ladies travelling
in a Ford car enroute to Pueblo were
the first to reach the body and the
scene of the accident. Indications on
the road where the accident happen
ed showed that the car of DR.. Con-
nett had turned over at least three
times. The body was found about IS
feet from the car, which was right
side up with the front wheels in a
ditch. The auto was pretty badly
wrecked. Mr.. Purcell stated that life
had expired but a few moments be-
fore he reached the doctors side,
and that he had sustained a broken
neck and several bruises on the chest
and body. The party in the Ford
proceeded to Pueblo, where proper
authorities were notified, after which
the Purcell family came on to Ration.
They report that the road where the
accident occurred was perhaps a per-
feet roadbed at the base of an incline
of road with a three percent grade,
and at the base was a soft sand-like
formation. 1t is believed that the
deceased was making considerable
speed with his car, and when the car
encountered this soft formation it
skidded, whereup the doctor set the
brakes, and this caused the car to
swerve to such an extent that he
lost control of the machine, which
then turned over.
The actual facts concerning the ac-
cident as to just how it happened will
probably never be known, as there
were no eye-witnesses to the fact.

Everyone Should
Drink Hot Water
in the Morning
Wash away all the stomach, liver,
and bowel poisons before
breakfast

To feel your best day in and day
out, to feel clean inside; no soul bile
to coat your tongue and sicken your
breath or dull your head; no consti-
patton, bilious attacks, sick head
acid stomach, you must bathe on the
inside like you battle outside. This
is vastly more important, because
the skin pores do not absorb impur-
tiles into the blood, while the bowel
pores do, says a ~well-known physi-
clan.
To keep these poisons and toxins
we'll flushed from the stomach, liver.
kidneys and bowels, drink before
breakfast each day, a glass of hot
water with a teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it. This will
cleanse, purify and freshen the en-
tire alimcntary tract, before putting
more food into the stomach.
Get a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from your pharmacist. 1t
is inexensive and almost tasteless,
excet a ourish twinge which is not
unpleasant. Drink phosphated hot
water every morning to rid your
system of these vile poisons and tox-
ms; also to prevent their formation.
To feel like young folks feel; like
o felt before your blood, nerve
and muscles became saturated with
an accumulation of body poisons, be-
gin this treatment and above all,
keep it up! As soap and hot water
act on the skin, cleansing, sweeten-
ing and purifying, so limestone
phosphate and hot water before
breakfast, act on the stomach, liver
kidneys and bowels.

social as well as historical event at
the residence Of Ex-Governor l..

last week.
In presenting the saddle Captain
Clark NJ. Carr, son Of General Eu-
gene A. Carr, and who also fought
his country's battles, serving with
distinction in the Philippine am
paign, said, in part:
1T seemed proper and in keeping
that the military acoutrements of the
late General Eugene A. Carr should
come to the New Mexico Historical
Society for preservation. This sad
die was used by General Carr dur
ing the Civil War and after that on
many Indian campaigns. 1t was on
his horse when the animal was shot
from under him by the Apache In
dions. In 1888 to 1890 he was in COM
mand of the district of New Mex
leo"
In Captain Carr's concluding re-
marks he added that in all probable
ity he would present to the society
at a later date a number of relics of
the Spanish-Amcrican and Philip
pine campaigns to be added TO the
valuable collection now owned by the
society
The gift was gracefully accepted
by Governor Prince. as president of
the society. Col Ralph F. T%witchell,
second vice-prcsident of the society,
the next speaker, and at the
close of his address Mr. \. w. Beck
ner sang very appropriately THE
Young Warrior" Governor Prince
then introduced Mrs. Carr, widow of
General F. A. Carr. Attorney Frank
w. Clancy was the third speaker, and
he moved that a rising vote of thanks
to the family of the late General Carr
for the valuable gift to the society
be given. and his motion was re-
sponded to with alacrity by every
member of the society. Mrs. Carr
thanked the society for the interest
and courtesy. On motion of Col.
Mrs. Carr was elected an
honorary member Of the society.
President Prince called attention to
two new gifts to the society, n
a rawhide wheat sieve mounted on
a frame. which was found in the
of San Juan. and given the
society by Julius Cans, and the other
a metal ladle dug out of the Santa
Fee river, and presented by f.. B.
Cartwright.

The Plains Democrat of Tatum,
Chaves county, says: Recently two
voting boxes have been created, one
at Caprock, which will cast about
one hundred democratic votes and
one at Jenkins, which will also cast
a large democratic vote" So the
democrats in the southeast part of
the state propose to vote the boxes
this year. We have accused them
of voting Texas steers in the past,
but never expected them to go so far
as to vote something which they
cannot herd to the polls on its own
legs.
