CLAIMS TO RESTORE LIFE
Scientist Has Powder That Brings
Dead Animals to Life.

Dr.. G. W. Lttlefield of Alexandria.
who for fifteen years has been pursu-
ing his investigations of the vital
principles OF life, experimenting with
cats,s dogs, monkeys and other lower
animals, has at last made known the
result Of his work. He makes the as
sertion that he can restore life. He
asserts that the principle of life, in
substance, is volatile magnetism.
In demonstrating his theory, the
doctor employs solution of saline
origin, with salt as the basis, saturat-
ed with o1eo resin and exposed for
several hours to an atmosphere of
free ammonia. Having secured this
saliro solution, DR.. Littiefield reduces
1t to a powder. 1t is this powder that
he has employed throughout his long
course of experiments.
For instance, having put to death
a dog or cat by drowning and allowed
the corpse to remain long enough to
convince anyone following his inves-
legations that all life is extinct, Dir.
Littlefield takes the corpse and with
out preparation of any kind, places
it upon q heated stone or porcelain
plate, brought to temperature cor
responding to that of the normal body,
and covers it thoroughly with light
layer of the powder.
Within three or four minutes from
the time the powder has been coated
over the dead body signs of life man.
ifest themselves, and within fifteen
minutes after the resuscitating meth
DDS were begun in every instance, the
subject has returned to normal life.
A cat remained dead two hours, and
during this time was allowed to re-
main in the hot sup until rigor mortis
had set In. The corpse was then
placed upon the heated porcelain and
powder applied, and the animal re-
turned TO consciousness within five
minutes.
The magnetic influence can easily
be seen by placing drop of the liquid
with minute PARTICLES of solid sub
stance in 1t under microscope. The
particles can be seen flying back and
forth with indescribable energy and
life.

1t is not In the South that the richest
negroes are found. although many In
that region have amassed a goodly
store of property since the war. Doubt
less the wealthiest community Of col

and they are worth on an average Of

Of slaves of the Creek tribe of Indians
and are known as Creek negroes. They
are entitled to a share in the division
of Creek Indian lands; also part Of

groes own 22.000.000 acres Of land. And
yet their education is far from COM
plete. Their social environments are
crude in the extreme and progress goes
slowly amid their huts and fields.
Unlike the other Indians of the rich
five civilized tribes, the Creeks insisted
upon freeing their slaves to give them
an equal share in their lands and mon
ey. At that time there were few slaves.
but the number grew through descend

CORRESPONDENCE.
County News by Our Reporters
Pcse Hill.

Our old friend Joel Burnett is very
poorly.
The quick rise in Middle Creek and
| North Skunk river on Sunday night
caught number of our young men
away from home and they made Mou-
day visits among friends.
Several families have bad to move
out OF their homes on the low lands
near here, the high waters destroying
everything they had in the way of
crops, completely losing their whole
seasons labor.
Sunday was quite an exciting day
on South Skunk river. The high
waters brought great crowd to the
river at the Currier mill site. | was
there in the afternoon when the crowd
reached about one hundred.
We have made careful estimate OF
the damages sustained by high wat
ers OF late on the low lands near Rose
Hill and 1T is safe to say that the small
| grain and corn crop that is ruined
within four miles of our little town
will be over 1000 acres, to say moth
ing about meadows and pasture.
Q. B, Rowland, president of the
National Galloway Cattle Breeders
association, had some experience on
last Monday with his herd of fine cat
tie that he will never forget. The rise
IN North river coming as it did Mon
day morning almost instantly, caught
over thirty head of his fine registered
cattle on the river pasture, and by the
time he got to them with his neigh
bors to rescue them they were all in
swimming water. By hard work they
got them all out save one young calf.
Thomas Perry, who was assisting to
save the cattle, says he saw the little
calf go under water near a wire fence
and did not see it afterwards during
the search, and after rescuing the rest
of the cattle, which was quite a task,
Mr. Rowland concluded the little calf
had drowned and gone down the riv-
err. But strange to say, the mother
of the little fellow went as near the
water in the evening as she could for
the wire fence and set up the usual
call for her youngster, and he came
to shore from some unknown place of
safety where he had been resting
during the afternoon, and came to
the house with the COW, sound as a
dollar. We have no theory for this
strange circumstance only that he
had been lodged on some high drift
during the afternoon where he was
safe until he heard the cry of the
mother and came to her.
