Travellers in Egypt must often have
noticed curious scars upon the fore
heads Of the natives. though perhaps
they have not discovered its significance.
II is a sign that the man who bears IL

The formula for the malady is curious
and typiCaly eastern. The victim must
be laid full length upon the ground and
massaged from the feet upward. The
sunstrOke is some form OF evil genius
which must be squeezed ana forced into
Cue spot. This the massage accom-

his best to this end. and assumes that

C., {. 81. ACCIDENT
WAS REMARKABLE
Car of Freight Train off Track
on Long TrestIe in Gin

THE CREW DID NOT KNOW
GUARD RAIL WHICH WAS BADLY
SPuINTERED, WAS ALL THAT
KEPT LOADED CAR ON TRES.
TIE e5 FEET ABOVE GROUND.

Employees Of the c., C. & L. were
agog yesterday over a most remark
able accident that befell night freight
train No. 81, in the Cincinnati yards
on Monday night. The freight was
pulling into the Queen City when
about quarter of mile from the
long trestle the front trucks of fur
niture car that was three car lengths
from the engine, left the track. None
of the crew was aware of the fact and
in consequence the bg furniture car
wabbled along over the ties, cutting
deep gashes. and leaving a trail that
will be seen as long as the ties last.
AS the train pulled onto the high
trestle, the wooden guard rail kept
the furniture car from running off the
side and perhaps pulling a part of the
train over. The topping car was
pulled the entire length of the trestle,
700 or 500 feet, and much OF the tim
ber in the structure was splintered so
badly that it will have to be replaced.

Of review today and scheduled for the

ference, that he would resist any at
tempt on the part of the reviewers to
collect back taxes on the Field prop
erty. Mr.. Beale was asked to esti-
mate for the board of review the
: Field estate.
He replied that he had never been
able to form an estimate within $685.
100000 The nearest he could come
to 1t, he said, was the statement of the
eecutors setting down the real estate
In Illinois at $25,000,000 and real es-

property to the value of $50,000,000.
Mr.. Beale was asked by members of

much property Mr.. Field was possess

Beale replied that he could not and If
he could, he was not certain that he
would, because he questioned the le-

reviewers to collect back taxes.
