HOTEL LOBBY GLEANINGS
III. C. POLLOCK, ROUGH RIDER,
TELLS AN INTERESTING STORY.
English Chemists, Father and Son,
Who Held the Secret OF an Acid
other Hotel Visitors.

There's an industry that used to be car
ried on in Arizona that few people know
anything about" remarked II. c. Pollock
at the Denison yesterday. Mr.. Pollock for
merly lived in Arizona and in fact was
member Of Roosevelts Rough Riders from
that Territory. He really recruited Troop B.
Of the Rough Riders, and served with the
regiment through the Cuban campaign. He
explained that the industry alluded to was
the gathering of what is called canagra-
root, from which is extracted an acid that
is very valuable in the work of tanning
hides ''Tne root is usually found in the
dry river beds" said Mr.. Pollock. Several
years ago an English syndicate was formed
to dig this stuff. SO far as know there
are but two people in the world who know
of one particular way of extracting acid
from this root. These people are a father
and son who are London chemists. L was
employed as a sort of foreman by this
English syndicate. We dug this root and
shipped 1t TO London where the acid was
extracted. The syndicate was unable TO
get these chemists to come to America and
it was finally decided it was impracticable
to maintain a plant in England so far
away from the product, so the Industry
was abandoned. Since then l have not
heard of anyone else trying the scheme"
AT the time of the breaking out of the
Spanish-American war Mr.. Pollock was
deputy revenue collector for the Territory
of Arizona. He is a great admirer of Theo-
dore Roosevelt and relates incidents of the
popularity of the colonel among the men Of
his regiment. He says that of the
things that impressed him most favorably
in connection with Roosevelt was in
cident that took place at Montauk Point
the day that Roosevelt told the men good
bye at the close of the war. He had the
regiment arranged in a hollow square and
then gave them a little talk One of the
impressive things he said was TO the effect
that unless their conduct in the future was
such as to merit respect the public would
soon forget what the Rough Riders had
helped to accomplish in a few months.
Roosevelt, after his remarks, shook hands
with each of the men in the regiment.

A TRIUMPH OF SURGERY
EDWARD BISHOP RECEIVERS FROM
GUNsHOT WOUND IN ABDOMEN.
The First Patient So wounded Ever
Turned Out Alive from the
City Hospital.

Edward Bishop OF West Indianapolis.
who was shot by his stepson Eliza Bennett,
through the bowels on the 3Oth of Decem-
Der. was discharged perfectly whole and
sound from the City Hospital yesterday.
The ball was 32-caliber revolver ball, fired
at close rang. and entered the abdomen
near the middle line, just below the stom-
ach. It's course was downward toward the
right side Of the body. When the abdomen
was opened al the City Hospital, just two
hours after the shooting. three loops of
the intestines were found shot through by
the bullet. These holes were closed by the
'1embert suture"-that Is, the ragged edges
OF the wounds were turned in and the outer
smooth portions Of the intestine sewed to-
gether. The entire course Of the bowel
was examined for holes but no others were
found. The ball was not sought for. and no
doubt is inclOsed in the muscular tissues
OF the back part of the abdominal wall.
The X-ray was used yesterday in search of
the ball. but II was not found because of
the great thickness of the tissues I'm part,
and in part because of the lack of Intensi-
~ Of the rays at that time.
This recovery is regarded with much sat
1Sfaction b. the hospital physicians and
the consulting surgeons as IL is the first
case recorded I'm the annals of the City
Hospital, or elsewhere in the city, of re-
wound Of the bowels, although one case
got well which was shot through the bowel
but was not operated upon. The general
rule among civil and army surgeons is to
always operate after pistol shot wounds
OF the abdomen, but not where lOng-range
small bullets from rifles have made the
wound. The experience of army surgeons
In Cuba and Africa has shown that the
latter class Of wounds are less fatal when
not operated upon.
The surgeon generals report of the
wounds OF the abdomen during the civil
war show but two or three such cases
which recovered, that OF General Miles be-
ing one Of the most famous IN surgical
history.
Two other cases have been reported from
Indiana by Or. John :. Sexton. OF Rush
vile. one a case of his own occurring last
summer. ana one of DR.. Jacob r. Smith
OF Brazil. The late DR.. w. Y. Morgan. of
Indianapolis. two years ago sewed up a
long gasn in the bowel made by a knife
thrust through the abdomen. and through
which several feet Of the cut bowel pro-
trudcd. The patient recovered.
The record Of Indianapolis hospitals does
not differ from that of others. Most gun
shot wounds OF the bowels and other in
tCrnal organs of the abdomen are fatal
wounds. and every hospital takes a natural
pride in any cases of this kind which re-
cover

These conditions will always
exist, for Diamond prices increase
steadily year after year. The
supply of Diamonds constantly
grows less, while the demand for
them increases. AS people become
more prosperous their taste for
articles of elegance and refinement
grows and must be gratified. This
makes an ever-growing demand
for Diamonds, which are the best
expression of culture and success.
In fact, nothing conduces more to
the appearance of success than the
wearing of DIAMONDS. TO BE
