the head of the service. There are
1000 wooden mail cars in use. They
are run between heavy all-steel cars,
or between a steel car in the rear and
the engine and tender in front. In

A stvrian Peasant suoerstition.

A lawsuit for libel brought by an
apothecary in Pollau, in Styria, against
young peasant reveals an eXtraordi-
nary superstition prevalent among the
country people. They believe that
apothecaries and doctors have the
right to kill at least one man and one
woman every year in order to make
medicines out of their bodies. An ac-
cidental movement of the ap0thecary
at Pollau, Herr Kobermauser, when
giving medicine to boy named Putt
led the latter to believe he was going
to be killed. He ran away, but got
such n fright that he fell i'll. The in
habitants believed his story and boy
cotted the apothecary, who was at
length compelled to prosecute. Putt
was sentenced to fourteen days. i'm
prisonment, but his parents. who had
spread the story, were acquitted on
the ground that they had acted in
good faith.-London Standard

Akron, 0.
John Greer Has An Exciting
Experience

Greer, Ohio, Sept 7-Mr. John
Greer of this place was attacked by a
negro while in Akron on business
Tuesday afternoon and was badly cut
about the body by knife which the
colored man welded viciously. 1t is
thought the sole intent of the man
was to rob mis- victim.
Mr.. Greer was walking a side street
in that city when he was suddenly
confronted by a man who demanded
money. He did not Immediately COM
ply with the mans demand and as
result was attacked and was cut
severely by large knife which the
negro drew on the first sign of resist
ance on the part of Mr.. Greer. He
was relieved of about $3.50, but his
pocketbook, containing a considerable
amount of money, was wrapped in a
handkerchief and was passed over by
the hold up man, who made good his
Greer. The victim of the attack went
to the office of a physician where his
several wounds were dressed. 1t was
found that he had been badly cut on
the left shoulder, under his left arm
and on the left side of his breast. The
wounds are not considered serious.
