Train Robber on Buffalo EIver.

Last Sunday night an attempt was
made to rob the Buffalo Flyer which
leaves here at 1910. The robSer per-
formed his work with a boldness that
stamped him as professional.
Never before in the history of this
section has there been an attempt to
"hold up" our railroad trains. Evil
IDENTIFY for fear that Teddy Roosevelt
would bore some of those western me-
chanics full of holes, they have come
east and last Sunday night made their
first grand standiplay. Evidently the
gang are scattered, for at the same
hour that Buffalo Flyer was held up
the passenger agent at Johnsonburg
was attacked and beaten. The follow
ing dispatch from Williamsport gives
a truthful account of the "hold up:"
When the train stopped at Emporium
man about 80 pears of age, six feet tall
and wearing dark suit and slouch hat
entered the front coach, which is divid-
ed into smoking and baggage apart
ments. He quietly occupied seat in
the smoking apartment until the train
was passing Huntley, about four miles
west of Driftwood, shortly after mid
night, when, unobserved by the other
passengers, most of whom were asleep,
he tip-toed into the baggage car.
Baggagemaster Whitehouse of Reno
vo, who was in charge of the car, was
in a STOPPING position, doing some
work. He heard some one enter, but
thinkingit was one of the train crew
did not look up until he felt the cold
muzzle of a revolver thrust into his
face.
"lf there are any valuables or money
on this train want them and | want
them quick" said the desperate.
Hold up your hands or will bore you
full of holes. mean business and my
time is limited"
The surprised baggagemaster had no
alternative but to obey the order to
hold up his hands, and he then told
the intruder to help himself, knowing
there was little of value in the car.
Keeping Whitehouse covered with
the revolver the desperate made a
hurried but thorough search of the car.
including the pigeon-holes used for
sorting the mails. After convincing
/ himself that there was no booty to be
secured the man backed out of the door.
Whitehouse at once telegraphed to
Remove and posse of special officers
were on hand and surrounded the train
when it arrived. The desperate, how
ever, had either jumped from the rapid.
ly moving train before it reached Reno.
vo or escaped unob5erved through the
posse
A number arrests have been made
but up to the hour or going to press il
J is not known whether the would-be
robber has been captured or not.

Sunday School Convention.

The Cameron County Sunday School
Convention at Driftwood the IL inst
was most inspiring and instructive
gathering. A majority of the Sunday
Schools in the county were represented
by delegates. The addresses of Hugh
Cork, State Supt. of S. S. work and by
Mrs. Barnes, Supt. of Primary and
Junior work were highly appreciated,
and will certainly prove to the Sunday
School teachers who were privileged
TO hear them an incentive to more
earnest and devoted work.
The following officers were elected
for the County organization: President
Mrs. Mary Hall, Driftwood; Secretary
and treasurer, Mrs J. E. Smith, Sterling
Run; executive committee, J. M. Eng
lish, and ]. o. Brookbank, Driftwood;
and T. HI. Piper, Sinnemahoning. The
county is entitled to ten delegates to
the State s. 8. Convention which meets
at Franklin in October, and arrange
ments are being made to secure large
representation

$500 Tor lot of forged notes that had
been advertised two weeks and the
public cautioned not to negotiate them.
He then paid big African with foot
like forge hammer, to kick him all
the way to the newspaper Office where
he paid four years in advance and made
the editor sign an agreement to knock
him down and rob him if he ever order.

p. K. K. Men Must Pay Their Debts.
There is an unwritten rule in the
Pennsylvania railroad system which
makes it necessary for employees to pay
| their debts. Men who are reported too
frequently as owing on paid bills are
not the kind of men who make desirable
employees, it is alleged, and they do not
stay long in the service of the company.
| This has been obvious for some time to
the casual observer of affairs among the
railroad men and it is due to the recent
troubles stirred up by the West Virginia
| collection agency which garnished the
wages of delinquent employees in that
state and attached the pay Of others in
this place, Altoona, Philadelphia and
| Harrisburg.
The railroad company has been alb
solutely forced to obey these garnish-
ments, as otherwise its care would be
subject to attachment in such states as
have garnishment laws. So, annoying
as the situation was, the company was
forced to accept it, and put up with the
expense al | trouble. But the attach
ments for alaries have multiplied until
the company was compelled to move
for its OWL protection.
A way out of the difficulty was deter
mined upon. 1t was held that a
| general order to the effect that men
causing annoyance by contracting debt
would be discharged, would be inter-
ference with personal liberty. So in
stead of adopting that course, the word
was passed that the company regards
with no favor men who make trouble
for the corporation by permitting their
debts to get in such shape that they
may be garnished.
An officer of the company said yes
erday that this annoyance had con-
tinued for years. Most of the trouble,
he said had been caused by West Vir-
! ginia men who came into Pennsylvania
and buy up claims against employees of
the road. 1t is anticipated that the
action will have the effect of relieving
the company of the annoyance. Reno

Success in Advertising.

In advertising You must give

Don't jam the head lines of an
ad. Give them plenty of space.
Don't tn nix you are saving

White space Eliminates an ad,
and makes it conspicuous. It
brings money instead of wasting
it on too much space.
A good advertiser al ways has
