Charles f. Newlin, chairman OF the Pro-
hibition State committee and manager OF
the campaign of George Hitz In the recent
municipal fight, last evening gave dinner
at Whites cafe to the representatives OF
the city newspapers who handle political
news. The dinner was not exactly the re-
suit OF a wager. for the chairman of the
Prohibition organization would not make a
bet, but IL grew out of something that
closely resembled a wager. During the
campaign Chairman Newlin claimed great
things for Mr.. Hitz, his views being ex-
ceedingly roseate, and he became so OPP
timistic toward the close of the memorable
fight that the reporters who visited him
from day to day finally told him that after

WINAMAC, Ind. Oct. @.-The Indiana
pearl craze brings to light that among the
old historical papers filed in the archives
of the auditor of Pulaski county were
those of the Pearl Divers Association
During the year 1886 a resident of this coun-
~ read about fisherman finding a mussle
shell containing a pearl of rare value which
sold for several hundred dollars. This filled
the resident with great visionary ideas and
ne began searching i'm the bed of the river
until he found a mussle shell containing a
small pearl. His heart gave a bound and
visions of immense wealth swept through
his mind.
A meeting was called among the farmers
who lived near the banks of the Tippecanoe
river and the Pulaski County Pearl Diver
Association was organized. The stock
holders ceased work on their farms and
the work of exploring the river was COM
menced. Several hundred dozen pearls
were found and the company sent a trusted
agent to st. Louis to find out their actual
cash value. 1t was found that among his
samples were pearls worth SO to 800 apiece.
The agent returned home and laid before
the stockholders the information of the
golden fortune in store for them. The men,
bers of the Pearl Divers Association
worked day and night and were abundantly
rewarded, gathering several bushels of
pearls. They sent their business manager
down to Cincinnati to dispose of the pearls.
On his arrival there he called upon a
lapidacy and the agent was informed that
If ne had brought along the shells he could
give him about 81 a bushel. The agent
packed up his samples and went to Phila-
delphia and the information received there
was that the best of the pearls in the lot
were worth from 81 TO 81 apiece, and that
some were worth 30 cents a bushel. The
business manager returned home and laid
before the stockholders the unwelcome
news OF their investments. The stockhold-
ers returned to farming and their treasurer
absconded with what pearls he could
gather.
