seems unchanged on the railroad.
The ministers of Marion county and
others are circulating petitions for

small towns with no police protection
would be public calamity.

man who believed that he was dead
and who for that reason refused to
take any nourishment How can the
dead eat and drink" he asked. when
food was pressed upon him. 1t was
obvious that unless something were
done to bring him to his senses the
delusion must soon become aetuality;
he would die of starvation. The
strangest ruse was tried. Half a dozen
attendants. draped in ghostly white,
crept silently in single file into the
room adjoining his. and. with the door
open. sat down where he could see
them to hearty meal. Here, who
are these people?" inquired the pa
