Back From California.

Col. A. ]. May, Mrs. May and Mr.. Ed
Spots got back from their trip to Califor-
MIA last week. They had been gone in all
five weeks. The Colonel has been very
much benefited in health and enjoyed the
trip considerably, mot withstandiDg the hot
weather that prevailed during the entire
Journey. He had been in California before,
having spent about three years in the
mining camps, in 1923. The Col, had
been anxious and curious to know what
changes had taken place in those localities
where he had spent three years of his early
life. He went to Sacramento City where
he spent few days. Then lie went up
Sacramento Valley 150 miles to Reading
and from there visited Shaster City and
other places where he had been and mined
in the ffties. Change had taken place
in everything, except the mountains and
streams, to such an extent as to almost
make the country unacceptable by him.
Mining was still going on by few white
men and Cinnamon, the old fashioned
methods being used, with picks, pans,
rockers, sluices and Long Toms. The
country had been dug up and over so
often that it was all broken up and strange.
From Reading City the travellers went east
70 miles to Placerville, thence back to
Sacramento, and thence to southern part
of the State, Los Angeles, San Diego and
San Fe being visited in succession.
The return trip was made over the
Southern Pacific Railroad, by way Of Ell
Passo, Fort Worth, Kansas City and
Chicago. The party stopped in Indiana
and spent week. Col. May tells US he
met only three persons in California he
had known before. They we're w. 7.
Bottimore, Robert J. Smith and PerisJ.
Layne. The last named gentlemen is a
nephew of Col. May. Tie other two are
natives of Tazewell County. Mr.. Smith is
first cousin of the editor Of the REpUP
LIcAN.
While Col. May was greatly impressed
with the Pacific coast and the great West
he has evidently concluded that Tazewell
county is as good place to live as can be
found on the continent and no mountain
is asIbeautiiGl as Rich Mountain. He is also
impressed with the idea that our town
needs stirring up and the awakening of a
! more progressive spirit among its citizens.

GREAT TRADE REVIVAL.
Nearly Half a Million More Men at
Work How
THAN THE LAST YEAR.
This Advances the Price of Farm
Products.

Business grows better in all ways, for
while its speculative end breaks conspic-
1ously the gambling for decline, the
working force and the power of the pople
to purchase are features which overshadow
all others.
Reports from the trades union of New
York city show an increase since a year
ago of 81 per cent. in the number of men
now working. Similar increases among
men in like positions throughout the
country exceed 1000, while every week
adds many establishments to the active
list.
The present condition of the miners
strike dscloses the fact that work will
shortly be resumed by lagre number Of
strikers.
Farmers are helped by the higher prices
for their wheat crop, though they have
not yet marketed one tenth of their crop.
The assurance of handsomeprofts will pre-
pare them to buy literally hereafter.
Because of the above facts the dealers
throughout the country have started to
replenish their stocks, which is q great
force at. present operating to revive
manufactures and trade through dis
tribution.
Failures for the week were 2l5 against
3l5 for the same week last year"

X-RAY EXPERIMENTS.
Effect of Bullet Wounds and the
Working of "a stomach.

NEW YORK, May 30.-Dr. Carl Beck, pro-
fessor of surgery in the New York School
of Clinical Medicine, before one hundred
physicians and surgeons at his residence
demonstrated that several theories relative
to the effect of modern bullets on the hui
man body are without foundation and gave
an X-ray demonstration of operations on
the stomach that is pronounced wonderful.
1t is generally believed that the small cal
iber bullet of the army rifles does not
cause as great injury as the more ancient
more humane. DR. Beck took amputated
human leg to Governors island and one of
the soldiers shot "a it with a new regula-
ton gun. Instead of the bullet making one
the bone into nearly twenty pieces and that
the bone was completely severed.
The next X-ray experiment was the ex-
ploration of mans stomach showing the
physicians exactly what was going on
there. DIR. Beck filled a rubber tube about
six feet long with a liquid metal. The COM
position of this is a secret. The tube was
thrust down the throat of the subject.
With the aid of a skiograph the physicians
could see the composition circle about the
physicians, but when Dr. Beck began
manipulating it they were delighted to see
that all that was going on within was made
plain to their eyes The effect was like
taking lantern and going into dark D m.
The scientists We're able to explore the seat
of most human ills perfectly. The diScoV
cry will be of the greatest Importance in
the treatment of diseases of the stomach.
Instead of guessing at what is going, on in
side from the symptoms described by the
patient and the external conditions. the
physician will be able TO look into the or
gan and where the seat of trouble is

Resented by Normal Students.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, May 30.-Bishop
McCabe occupied the pulpit at the First
Methodist Church to-day in the closing
services of a prolonged series of anniver-
sary meetings. Each meeting has been de-
voted to some special work of the church
and to-day it was the purpose to raise
money to pay off the church debt. This
fact was the cause of a mild sensation in
the State Normal School President Par
sons made an announcement to the 1900
students Friday morning that inasmuch as
it was desired to hold special services for
this purpose, and as Normal students are
not residents of the city, they would not
be expected to contribute to the fund.
Therefore they were asked to remain away
from the church on this occasion that the
seating capacity might be fully occupied
by those from whom contributions might
be expected. He said he hoped the request
would not be misunderstood, but in this he
was mistaken, at least as to some of the
students, who rushed into print to com
plain of the request. Then DR.. Hickman,
pastor of the church, came forward with
statement that the church had not made the
request and that Normal students are well
come at all times. 1t was explained that
member of the church had spoken to Presi-
dent Parsons and it was thought the matter
could be arranged without friction.

TO RECOVER OVER $4,000.
Suit to Be Brought Against MOntgOm-
cry COunty's EX-Treasurer.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind, May 30-The
several propositions submitted to the Coun-
ty Commissioners by John c. Hutton, ex
county treasurer, to balance accounts with
the county have been made public. The
county commissioners have been holding
special secret meetings for some time, and
finally, not getting any satisfactory answer
from Mr.. Hutton in regard to the funds
while he was in office the commissioners
ordered suit brought to recover $6,075.02,
money alleged to have been collected by Mr..
Hutton while he was county treasurer and
proper credits not being given. At the first
investigation it was found that some $1,000
of ditch and drain tax had been collected
by Mr. Hutton and not turned over to his
successor and subsequent examinations
have swelled the total amounts in the sew
eral funds up to over $4,000. On May Is
Mr. Hutton met the board and denied owing
the county a cent, but claimed the county
was owing him $98. On Friday he again met
with the commissioners and claimed that
he was entitled to credit of $4,000 on &C
count of an erroneous charge against him
of railroad taxes, but the board considered
this as only bluff. Crane 81 Anderson will
represent the county in the suit, F. NJ.
Dice, the county attorney, is on Huttons
bond.

A GERMANIZED JUBILEE.
Loyal Britishers Continue TO Make
Painful Discoveries.
london Daily Mail.

London Daily Mail.
1t is as well to recognize the situation
with respect to the jubilee and take the
course which prudence and propriety de-
mand.
Yesterday the Daily Mail made the
startling announcement that Union. Jacks
made in Germany are being sent over here
for jubilee use Now 1T appears that some
of the little commemorative jubilee medals
which are being sold about the streets are
also German made. One of these hAS@ been
sent to the Daily Mail Office by an tndsg-'
nant correspondent 1t IS a common h ii.!
of q shilling. on the face of II there IS
stamped a bad reproduction of the Jubilee
image of her Majesty surrounded by the
legend Victoria Queen of England and
Empress of India" on the other side there
is a shoddy imitation of the double wreath
which appears on the reverse of our shlll-
ings, inclosing the two dates 1S67-lS91. Sur
rounding this again are stamped the words,
I'm CONNIE moration Of the longest reign
in British history" All this is stamped big
and clear enough But there is something
else. In tinest most unobtrusive letters,
inconspicuously hidden away between the
wreath and the inscription appears the
grand old patriotic war cry, Made In Ger
many
and sold TO children in hucksters shops FOR
English pennies. Now, apart from the fact
that the thing is made abroad, and Is IN
trinsically worth about half a farthing, 1t
is NOT nearly so good or so well made, or
so appropriate jubilee medal as the
smallest of our English coins bearing her
from English coinage, and the poverty or
the imitation only aggravates the fact. On
the face of it it is an offense against the
coinage laws, and it is pretty certain that
if any such thing were produced in Eng
land the mint authorities would contscate
the dies, and proceed against the makers.
These rubbishy Hanover Jack things might
well be conhscated as many similar medals
made for advertising purposes have been
before this.
But with all this Germanization Of the
Jubilee there is an obvious suggestion to
be made, while there is still time to act
upon it, Would it not be almost as well
to move the whole jubilee celebration over
to Germany. and let the Germans run It
themselves? 1t would save a great deal of
money in carriage. The shoddy German
make a brave show on the Utter den Lin
den in Berlin, and the German hawkers
could sell their wretched jubilee medals
to German children for German groschen.
We learn from a leading firm of English
fagmakers in London that the German
union jacks, and other British flags now
being offered for sale are as Inaccurate in
design and make as the faulty English OF
the circular led us to expect.
