DR.. Hercules Ogle Asserts He Can
Make Gold and Diamonds.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
KOKOMO, Ind, June "a Kokomo man
has discovered a process of making gold. or
at least he lays claim to that power. The
alleged discoverer Is DR.. Hercules Ogle, who
uses herbs, roots and minerals in the prac-
tice of his profession. In the rear Of his
little office Is a dingy shed which the doc
tor uses for a laboratory. On the shelves
and hooks and corners there are thousands
of pebbles of all known varieties, specimens
Of rock, parcels of sand, in fact, samples
Of about everything that is to be found in
the bowels of the earth. 1T is all in know
ing how" said the old doctor TO a news
paper man as he pulled a handful of glitter
ing nuggets out Of his pocket. These are
pure gold" he continued, land they came
from a point within five miles of Kokomo.
Nature provides the elements for all good
things and man is expected to nave inteili-
gence enough to use them, but he does not.
Ignorance Is the sin OF the age and the
cause of all earthly troubles. A proper and
intelligent combination of natures. great
gifts would make q paradise OF this
wretched old world, and ignorance Is alone
responsible for the sin and misery that ex-
lists. l have been prowling around among
the elements that enter into the cOnstruc-

good things waiting for the hand of intelli-

tons and variations are almost inexhaust-

in that pile over there. Here are some of
the manufactured ones. and real sparklers
they are, a number of jewellers have told
me. Book chemistry is ali right as far as
1t goes. but it is the practical work that
counts"
For nearly half a century DR.. Ogle has
been experimenting with minerals, and,
while he does not inform the public of the
combination of elements that produces gold
and diamonds, he has specimens that have
passed the most critical analysis, and he has
numerous letters and reports from experts

a great reader of scent novels, and ii is the
general belief that Howitz's story is true.
Brown refuses to talk any more in regard to
the affair. Cunopop only lived a few min
utes. Howitz is still alive, but it is thought
he will die. The boy claimed the men were
trying to rob him. Howitz said Brown had
often come in the store and that they sold
him the revolver with which he shot them
only a few days ago.
