EARLY DAY PEARL DIVERS

AN ASSOCIATION THAT EXISTED IX PlLASKI COUNTY. Jnry Finds Against Editor In Assault CaseGeneral wi from Different Tarts of Indiana. Special t the Indianapolis Journal. WINAMAC, Ind., Oct. 20. 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 a resident of this county read about a 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 he began searching in 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 stockholders ceased work on their farms and the work of exploring the river was commenced. Several hundred dozen pearls were found and the company sent a trusted agent to St Louis to lind out their actual cash value. It was found that among his samples were pearls worth $25 to $100 apiece. The agent returned home and laid before the stockholders the information of the golden fortune In store for them. The members 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 th pearls. On his arrival there he . called upon a lapidacy and the agent was informed 'that if he had brought along the shells he" could give him about $1 a bushel. The agent packed up his samples and went to Philadelphia and the information received there was that the best of the pearls in the lot were worth from $1 to $2 apiece, and that some were worth 50 cents a bushel. The business manager returned homo and laid before the stockholders the unwelcome news of their Investments. The stockholders returned to farming and their treasurer absconded with what pearls he could gather. - OLD BATTERY REUNION. r Annual Event Takes Place nt Shelbyvllle.

Illinois Club Protests Against Wabash River Levee. Fpeclal to the Indianapolis Journal. SULLIVAN, Ind., Oct. 20. A party of Marshall. 111., club men will add their efforts to those of fifteen persons who have already filed suits in the Sullivan Circuit Court appealing from the establishment of a live-mile levee along the Wabash river. The Marshall Club owns an acre of ground on which Is a clubhouse on the west bank of the old bed of Wabash river. Twentyfive years ago the spot where the house stands was on the west bank of the main channel of the river, but during a spring freshet the Wabash cut a now channel, eliminating a wide sweep to the east. The building of u levee would make the holdings of the Marshall club valueless for fishing purposes, as the old bed would have no outlet to the river. The land lying between the. old bed and the main channel I a part of Illinois as, according to the Indtana constitution, the State line was the center cf the river at the time the consti

tution was adopted. Th situation Is further complicated by the fact that the line between Clark and Crawford counties, Uli nois, dissects th l,Xi acres in th cut-ofT and the levre, which, as proposed is to follow the main channel, would bi built not only in two States, but also in thre counties. The objectors to the levee contend that the law docs not authorize the construction of a levee in two States. . INDIANA ODITL'AR.

THE MEDICAL MEN ANGRY INDIANA 31 CD I CA L COLLEtiE WILL FROBABLY GET LITTLE. Central College of Physicians and Surgeons Will Stand Well vrlth Holtimsn Nevtlln's Dinner. It Is reported that Mayor Holtrman is having some little trouble in settling on his appointments on the city Health Board, and that he has stirred up a hornet's nest even before he has announced the names of the members of the new board. Members of the faculty and board of trustees of the Indiana Medical College are said to be playing the roles of tho hornets. There has always been some little rivalry between the Indiana Medical and the Central College of Physicians and Surgeons for control of the Board of Health, th control carrjing with it the appointments at the hospitals, a thing to be desired by both colleges. The Indiana was for Iloltzmen in the recent campaign, members of the faculty and board of trustees not only working actively for the Democratic candidate, but also. It is said, contributing to the Democratic campaign fund. Naturally, they believed that when Holtrman, if elected, made his appointments on tho Board of Health he would discharge his obligations to the men of the Indiana. Medical. It is now reported that the mayor has proved an Ingrate, and has practically determined on giving the control of the board to the Central College. Representatives of the two colleges called on the mayor yesterday to recommend various physicians for appointments on the board, and it is said that the rivalry is at white heat.

He agreed, and last evening "made good." OUT GIT A JAMBOREE. Drnnken 3Ian nnd Women Arrested for Ill-l'slng a Horse.

"Jlmmle" Garfield, as the ieople of Washington Insist , u:on calling the son of the murdered President, although he is now a man with a tinge of &Tay in his hair, is helping to prove again the truth that usually lies in the old adage of "Like father, like son." He takes things quietly, is the hardest sort of a worker, and as conscientious a man as is to be found to-day in the service of th government. When he was being initiated Into hl duties as civil-service commissioner by President Proctor and William Dudley Foulke, his colleagues on the board, the latter said Impressively: "Mr. Garfield, you will have the honor of sitting at the same desk which President Roosevelt used when he was a member of this commission." Mr. Garfield, however, seemed to be little affected by that prospective distinction. "I am rather used to that sort of tMng." he replied, "to sitting at a dsk that was used by a lresldent of the Fnited States. I use myfather's d-sk at home, so I guess I shall Ik? able to do my work all right at this one." Youth with n Futare. Philadelphia Record.
