The C%entralia Courier says: Prof.
j. X. Dalbey and Miss Berdie kremer
gave a musical entertainment at the
Opera House Tuesday night that was
one of the rarest treats ever in the
town. These present are loud in their
praise of Miss kremer's talent as an
accomplished pianist and Prof. Dali

BURIED ALIVE.
A Hindoo Fakir Who Lived After
Being Buried Four Months.
From the St. Louis Republic.

rfDHl tue St. LOUIS nepuDIlc.
Hari Das, the great Hindoo fakir,
who lived in the first half of the GEN.
fury, is the only wonder-worker of
modern times who has ever allowed
himself to be buried in the grounds
for months. In the year 1889, Hari
told General Ventura that for a GER
tain fee he would allow a committee
to test the claims which he made of
being able to die and remain dead for
months and then come to life again.
When all was arranged, Hari hypno-
TIED himself to such a degree that
his circulation vas wholly stopped.
When he was pronounced dead to all
intents and purposes he was buried in
a garden and a high wall built around
the grave. Guards were stationed on
the wall so that interference or de-
ception would be impossible. Four
months after he was exhumed, accord
ing to agreement, and after a few min
utes of vigorous rubbing of his body
by friends, he opened his eyes, and
an hour later he was well and able to
walk. The fakir al clean shaven
when buried, and is said to have come
out of the grave i'll the same shape,
n fact which is cited to prove that
vitality must have been completely
suspended.
