DEAD MAN LIVES AGAIN
ReSuSCitated Three Minutes After
FIuttering Soul Departed.
DOCTORS WERE QUICK TO ACT

Sufferer Was Brought Back From
the Grave by Whiskey and Strich-
nine. After an Hours Work by
Physicians the Resurrected Man
Opened His Eyes and Spoke.
For three minutes Oscar Culver was
dead in the Eastern District Hospital
last night, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
His pulse beat ceased and there was
not the slightest heart action or trace
of breath on mirror held before
his lips. Mrs. Culver was at the
bedside, and, convinced her husband
was dead, she wept bitterly. DR..
Henry Jaffer decided to attempt an
experiment. He administered six
drachms of whisky and ten grains
of strichnine, and resorted to arti-
fetal respiration.
Gradually the heart resumed it's
beating, the pulses fiuttered and the
supposed dead man quivered back
to life. He spoke to his wife, and
for fifteen minutes she sat with him.
He was conscious at midnight.
Il feel like fighting" said Culver
to the physicians after he came back
to life.
The man is too i'll to understand
he was to all appearances dead for
three minutes and his restoration to
health is out of the question, as he
is dying from consumption and in
dammatory rheumatism. The mix
ture that was given to him to restore
the heart action was sufficient to
kill a healthy man, but its effect is
only temporary.
Five weeks ago Culver's condition
became so serious it was necessary
to remove him to the hospital. His
case presented remarkable combi-
nation that interested the doctors
deeply, and everything was done for
Culver that medical science could
suggest.
But his constitution had been
wrecked, and the patient gradually
grew worse. All hope was aban-
'doned, and Mrs. Culver was informed
her husband probably would not live
through the day.
She remained at the bedside until
he apparently died. The death"
was reported to Dr. Louis Wiegand,
superintendent of the hospital DR..
Wiegand held, with the other physi-
clans in the hospital, that there was
no hope of prolonglng the life of
Culver, and when the report of his
death was made to him he ordered
the body removed to the hospital
mOrgue.
Before that could be done DR..
Henry Jaffer, who had given careful
study to Culver's case, and who was
in the superintendent office when
the death was reported, asked for
time to make an experiment on the
body. Careful examination of the
heart failed to discover the slightest
spark Of life. There was not even
false" pulsation, which sometimes
occurs after death. DR.. Jaffer re-
quested the supposed widow to re-
tire for a few minutes. Staggering
into another room she flung herself
weeping into a chair. Then DR..

Newspapers Support Orators.
Campaign orators do not cut the

former years, newspapers being close
competitors in this field. Still. dur
Ing campaign hundreds of sneak
ers OF a national and local reDute

national and state committees the
eHorts of those under the direction
OF the national organization being
as a rule confined to the close and
doubtful states. Most of these, how
ever, receive no pay other than ex-
penses.
With the growing use of money in
polltlcS 1t has been found more and
more desirable that the chairman Of
a national committee should be a
man OF large private fortune, with
a credit and business status which
inspire confidence and respect. When
subscriptions are slow in coming in
and he has as yet only promises in
lieu of cash he must become re-
sponsible for or advance the funds
needed to meet current expenses,
and these advances often amount to
several hundred thousand dollars.
II there is a shortage after the cam
palgn is ended he is the one who is
expected to make it good.

expires next June. Then it will be
up to another administration.
Two hundred and seventy-two bills
were passed at the recent session.
A large percentage of them were of
a local character, there being fewer
than thirty real general bills. Thir-
ty-eight resolutions, mostly for the
payment of special pensions, were
adopted. The governor took no ac-
ton on two pension resolutions, and
the sums cannot therefore be paid.
One was to give forty-fve dollars to
Mrs. Tallulah Towns of Atlanta, and
another to give sixty dollars to Mrs.
Nancy Collier.
Bills Lost.
The governor vetoed the following
bills, or permitted them to die by
default, taking no action:
A bill to abolish the county court
of Clinch county.
A bill to create a new charter for
the town of Ellijay, the purpose be-
ing to decrease the incorporated linn
it's.
A bill to abolish the city court OF
GAINESVILLE
A bill to extend the school text
book contract two years.
A bill to permit policemen and
firemen to accept free street car

support of the state agricultural col
lege by which five thousand dollars
was appropriated to each of the ex-
perimental stations at Griffin and
Waycross.

An effort is being made to stop
the flow of burning oil that is pour
ing from the miniature volcano in
the San Geronimo field, rs miles
southwest of Tampico, Mexico, by
pumping enormous quantities of mud

is still burning as fiercely as ever.
The flames mount more than 1900
feet from a crater more than 300
feet in diameter.
1t is estimated that more than TO-
600 barrels of oil are consumed
daily, and that since the fire started
on July 4th. more than 100000
barrels, valued at 81 a barrel, have
been burned

REDS WALLOW IN WEALTH
Some Indians Have Incomes as
Large as the Presidents.
BUNCHES OF THE LONG GREEN

Two Million Dollars Are Annually
Distributed Among Those of One
State Alone. $2S4,OOO Is Now
Being Paid to the Choctaws and
Chickasaws in Oklahoma.
Poor Lo" doesn't apply to the
Indians of Oklahoma. In addition
to all Of their holdings in lands, pay
ments have within the past four
months been ordered to the members
of various tribes in that state ag-
gregating $1,088,OOU. This repre-
sents about half of what is dis
bursed annually through such chan
nels. AS money goes through the
average Indians pockets like water
through sieve most of this 81
100000 annually finds it's way rapid
ly into the hands of the white citi-
zens of the state. These vast dis
bursements of money are no small
factor in the prosperity of the COM
munities adjacent to the Indian res
ervations.
One of the largest payments of
the year is being made among the
Kiowa, Comanche and Apache tribes.
In this payment, which began July
goth, these tribes will receive al
together about $4,000, a part of
the funds received from the sale Of
their lands in southwestern Okla
hOma, which has been held in trust
for them by the government. The
payment will amount to about 800
per capita for each man, woman and
child.
Distributing Fortunes.
Dana H. Kelsey, Indian agent for
the Five Civilized Tribes, began
March oath. paying $24S,000 to the
ChOctaw and Chickasaw Indians, and
that disbursement is still going on.
The sum represents the value of the
improvements on the segregated
lands. The government purchased
all Of the improvements upon the
surface Of these lands.
The KiCkapoOs are receiving the
last payment that they will ever get
from the government. The once
powerful tribe has dwindled down
until there are only 1877 left in Okla
homa About an equal number mi
grated to Mexico several years ago,
but will share in the payment, which
amounts altogether to 1915, 900.
The Sac and Fox and Iowa tribes
will receive $250,OOO, of which $780,
600 goes to the Iowas.
In addition to these large per cap
tia payments Indian Agent Kelsey
receives approximately $1,5OO,OOO
annually in royalties from oil and
gas leases on Indian allotments,
which is disbursed by him to the for
tunate allottees who are lucky
enough to own allotments valuable
for mineral purposes. Some OF the
individual Indians enjoy an income
as large as that of the president OF
the United States simply from their
mineral royalties.

DOVE SEASON is OPEN.
Legislature Changed Law So That
Season Opens July 10Th.

FTV1INWIE ~ VV''T
Local sports have been greatly
concerned lately over the question
of the open season for shooting
doves. There seems to have been
considerable differenc Of opinion as
to when the Season opens. The OLD
law set September list as the date
for the beginning of the dove season,
but the legislature which has just
adjourned changed the date to July
18th. Therefore, those who want 10
shoot doves many now do so without
fear of violating the state game law.

Dear Margery Doom:

a quarrel he goes with another girl,
He told me he did not care for this
girl. Now he goes WITH her steadily
and takes her to dances. I love him
dearly and would like TO gain his
friendship again.
One night l went and met him COM
ing from work and l had TO. c09Y him
sometime before he would apologize.
Did I do wrong and do you think he
likes this girl? Answer quickly, as l
am waiting. JEALOUS.
IF / were you / would try To- forget
that | ever knew this young man. Why,
he is not even a gentleman, or he
would not have permitted you to SO
home alone that time you auarreled.
You are very young, and will not find
II so very hard to forget him. II is
likely that he cares for the other girl,
or he would not be so willing to cut you
for her.

How to Get the Greatest
Benefit from Warm Baths
Madame Alta Says Few People Know Proper Care of Tubs.
Other Things That Newark Women Should
Learn-Beauty Hints.

People talk a great deal about the
value of baths these days, but 1 wonder
how many realize that they must not
neglect the tub in which they bathe if
they want to get all the good of u
plunge. Those persons VINO rush into
the bathroom. splash around awhile,
mess up a few towels, saturato sponges
and rush out again, leaving the water
to run out of the bathtub ii IL viii, ana
the towels to dry in a heap on the floor,
have very little idea OF the possible
mischief Of which they may be guilty.
In the first place, it is a TACT very little
understood that a sponge is by no
means a fit article to use III taking a
bath.
1t is convenient and agreeable and all
that, but it is the plumbers best friend,
and those who value perfection in their
plumbing long ago learned to hav none
of it. The sponge, especially after it
has been used a short. time, Is con

many cases attach themselves to little

of the traps was almost filed with bits
OF sponge that seemed TO be matted to-

growth. 1T cost a pretty penny to get
things in order again. A good soft
towel, with a comfortably wide hem
securely stitched on the sewing ma
chine so that no Unity edges arc ex-
posed, is quite as agreeable TO many
people as a sponge, and certainly has
no particles to come off and Interfere

there should be kept standing a suit
