1t looked odd to see train of Pull
mans with dining car, ETC., at the B. q
o. station in Butler. last Friday after
noon The cars were occupied by the
Cleveland Chamber of Commerce which
had chartered the train, and was taking
iaunt through the country. They
came into Butler over the B. R. & P.
and went out on the Bessie, expecting
to change to the Erie at Shenango, and
reach Cleveland by $50 pm. E. g.

Engineer Dillon of the River Divi-
sion of B & o. Railroad, while running
between Parkersburg and Sistersville
recently at the rate of forty miles an
hour, suddenly put on the air, stopped
the train and ran it back to a bridge
which it had just crossed. The pass
engers rushed to the platforms or poked
their heads out of the windows to see
what was the matter Their curiosity
was satisfied when they saw the Engin-
eer reach into water barrel at the end
of the bridge and rescue drowning
lamb. The lamb had fallen into the
barrel, and its mother was making
frantic efforts to lift it out with her
teeth. The humane en- gineer was
heartily applauded, as he deserved to
be, for prettier act of tende rness has
| rever been recorded.
| The government announces that in
short time there will be a civil service
examination for an agrostologist at six
| ty dollars month. An appeal to the
dictionary discloses the fact that an
agrostologist is one verSed in in agrost-
ology, and that the latter is the science
pertaining to grasses. The Agricultur
al Department, which needs the services
of this scientist. wants one who is emi-
nently versed in botany and particular
ly in grasses, both theoretically and
practically Just what his services are
to be is not explained, but apparently
he is to give the public knowledge on a
very important subject, and it would
seem as if it ought not to expect too
much for the compensation offered
In the far West at present agrostolo-
gists whose knowledge is confined to
the proper use of the scythe or the
moving ma ehine are getting three dol
lars day, SO the government cannot
be accused of paying too much,
Call upon your Merchant or Druggist
for Victor Remedies They are the
Old Reliable Family Medicines and
well worth your money
