f AGK EIGHT ASHLAND TIDINGS Thursday, March 30, 1019 A Singular Case of Resurrection By F. A. MITCHEL The investigators of the Rockefeller Institute may be very proud of them selves. Indeed, they have reason to lie. They huve substituted live parts' of the human body for dead parts; they have set heurt substauee beating out side its proper place la a man's breast If they keep on they may In time make a man out of parts of other men. But If the stories of what Indian fakirs have done In keeping persons alive In a comatose condition for many years is true these Rockefellers or scientific fellers or wliutever they are have yet much to learn from an antique and ap parently undeveloped civilization. There is a story going the rounds among the undergraduates of a certain university which, if It can be substan tiated, puts the modern scientific Inves tigator to shame. Arnold Uereau, as sistant professor of chemistry he has charge of the laboratory is one of those phenomena who spring up once in a century. He is very young, and It is well known that he was born with certain mental powers, a certain su pernatural knowledge of things on which muny a man has studied for a lifetime without making any progress whatever. Willbur Stockbridge, a member of the class of '15, so the story goes, one day went to Professor Uereau with a yellow bit of puper on which was writ ten In old English style: This It the body of William Arbuckle. private In his majcHly's -th foot. Cap tured in the patriot lines with maps show ing our fortltlcutions on the upper part of Manhattan island. He was condemned for a spy. An Indian serving with the same rcBlment-he had Joined it at Singa poreproposed to General Washington to put the man to sleep for an Indefinite peri od Instead of executing him. The general, who was averse to the execution, consent ed, and Arbuckle was turned over to the Indian, who claims that any time after fifty or even a hundred years life will till be In the body. But not one man In many millions will be able to effect resurrection.- Young Stockbridge told the professor that In excavating for building pur poses on the upper part of Mnnhattan Island on property owned by his family a tomb had been discovered containing the body of a man in British uniform of a former period. The paper bad been found In the lead coiHu In which the body bad been burled. Gereau mind you, I don't vouch for Oils-arranged with the student to bring the find to the laboratory, which at the time was closed on account of the spring recess and would therefore be at the professor's individual dis posal. No one has attempted to give the process by which Gereau manipu lated the remains of Private Arbuckle, but it Is claimed that be effected a resurrection. The professor avers that be worked on lines which are being followed by modern scientific investi gators, lie must have bad an Inkling of the method by which animation wag suspended by the Indian or be would not have been able to restore it by reverse action, which, he says, he applied, lie gives as a fundamental principle that the Indian knew bow to suspend not kill the action of the heart, and Gereau restored the pulsa tions, which are the basis of animal life. Whether the story is true or false there Is one part of It that tits in with modern scientific Investigation. It Is said that Gtreau found that certain members of the body had suffered from the long suspension of tbelr func tions. The resurrected man showed signs of decay, and the professor fear ed that, though be bad remained In an ordinary condition of health for more than 130 years, be would die within few hours after resurrection. A test was begun of different organs, and the first tested the kidneys showed decay. Gereau at once tele phoned to the College of Physicians and Surgeons for a pair of sound kid neys and. removing the ones affected. Introduced the new ones. Ue supposed for some time that Arbuckle had died under the operation, but half a bottle of Irish whisky brought hlra round. The liver was next tackled, and hnlf of it replaced. There were other ports to be substituted, but t'lose mentioned were the principal repln enients. These operations required several hours, and another hour passed before Private Arbuckle spoke. Then he opened bis eyes and cried out In a voire that seemed to come through dry leather: "Corporal of the guard?' Gereau was delighted. It looked as If he might ssve his patient, for while the man had doubtless been dcnnlmat ed In good htalth bis being brought bark to consciousness was uot only a dilllctilt matter, but a dangerous one, Tliero ere several versions of the rest f the story. Some say that Arbuckle was sufficiently restored to remember and speak of his expected execution. Others aver that Gereau. finding bis breathing defective, worked bis arms vigorously, but in spite of bis efforts . the man died. II Is said that at one time Arbuckle at up and was given a stiff driuk. Raising the glass be shouted In a born like voice: "To his gracious majesty King Oeorge. God bless him and confound Ills rebellious subjects!" 8tockbridge and Gereau have both been asked to make a statement, but have refused either to affirm or deny the story. It la suspected that" they are afraid of coming under the ban of the law, whlcb might Involve them ta 4 caargt of murder. Buirpr Fruit V' : Yield Predicted The orchards of the valley . are blooming from one to two weeks ahead of their blooming season, apri cots and almonds were In bloom ten days ago, the cherries and peaches followed suit and the apples and pears are now coming In, making the orchards a fairyland of pink and white blossoms. ' The average rainfall of the past winter has furnished an abundance of snow in the mountains and the soil is saturated far deeper than for the past several years. No pests have as yet made themselves evi dent and the growing knowledge of the fruit men and use of advanced methods of combating any which do appear assures against any disastrous results. Most of the trees are heavily set and the county pathologist pre dicts the heaviest yield of many! years. The only condition to be greatly feared Is a heavy frost and the gov ernment has sent a bureau man, J. Cecil Alter, "to take charge of an ob- ! servatlon system in the valley and . issue warnings. The fruit men of the valley are j embroiled in a controversy over i whether a better way of combating frost than by the use of oil cannot, be found, the antl oil men favoring wood or other means and claiming that the oil does more harm than good. However, no definite conclu sion has been arrived at and most of the fruit men will smudge with oil this year. The Farmers' and Fruitgrowers' league in session at Med ford Satur day, carefully discussed the whole subject, of frost protection and de cided that at present oil smudging was necessary, but that an active campaign should be started to en deavor to find a substitute for the ' obnoxious oil. A few of the valley !orchardists are said to have decided to use wood this year. EDICATIOX. i (By Levi M. Eagon.) We should improve the mind i Our time is flying fast And leave our troubles all behind Make the future excell the past. We should strive to do the right j As the moments fly; Strive with all our might j To Improve as the days go by. Our time Is on the wing, As we are all aware. To our minds pleasure bring, To others our goodness share. We should help good things to im prove, And work with a cheerful heart. As we through this world do move, And from all evil depart. We should strive to make tomorrow Better than today. And do not troubles borrow Or waste our time away. We should try to please a friend, Keep our minds on what's good and true. We should not with our enemies conr tend While the world we go traveling through.

' w Indiah "Kouble Since the first of the year there has not 'been an arrest lor selling , liquor to an Indian, introducing 11 j quor on an Indian reservation, In ! dian assault, cutting, or murder in , the state of Oregon. United States District Attorney Reames gives all credit for this clean- up to the passage of the prohibition law. Here are Its direct results to 6 nnn A straightaway saving of $70,000 ear' , A total saving of at least $100,000 a year. A tremendous decrease in Indian crime. An opportunity for the district at torney's office to devote twice as much time to the duties for which the office was created protection of public property and stoppage of fraudulent schemes to rob. "It's a godsent to us " said Mr. Reams this morning. "Last year there were 58 cases of liquor to In dians, each costing directly $1200. and. counting In time of court and officers' salaries, $1500 each. That meant more than one case a week. You can imagine what. It means In saving of time to have that routine removed. hen a case was brought up first he man was arrested Then he was taken before a commiss oner on the reservation. That meant a trip from Per land to the reservation for he United States marsha . Then the rnea hnt in ho Invoatiprntp ,- hla w , office and afterward It was present ed to the grand jury.

' Mr. Reames also states that in all but one Indian murder case tried during his administration, the cause was liquor. In the single exception the defendant was freed. .. .

Morris, one of the crack pro fessional trapshooters of the coast, in Ashland Wednesda'y represent-' was lng his company, the Western Cart ridge Company, and was taken through Llthia Park by T. H.

Mr. Morris says that he has been visiting Ashland occasionally for the past nine years and has heard of the park quite often up and down i pertaining to Germany's barbaric the coast In the last year, but that treatment of its foes and Its insidi this was his first visit to its environs.

Mr. Morris. In line with his work, has visited practically every resort In the United States, and gives It as his unqualified opinion at Ashland 1s the most attractive place in the country and has the biggest future, He is a frequent visitor to the many sprlngs resorts of the coast and pro-1 ment, Is so woefully oppressing, In claims the Ashland waters to have ' one shape or another, the nations of any of the other coast mineral waters ; the earthy outclassed. He gave Instances of Returning directly to the subject several springs resorts of the north- matter of this article, It may be said west and stated that when Ashland that In June, 1908, there was a secret has been properly advertised, this . midnight meeting at Potsdam, called city will get hundreds of tourists ' and presided over by the Kaiser, for where the others get one. the express purpose of "preparing for Mr. Morris Is pretty much of a the day" when the great German na-hard-headed business man, to use hlf tlon should set out on its mission of own words, and Is enthusiastic over , conquering, by force of arms, the en the opportunities In Ashland and has tire human race, as It would almost made arrangements to keep In close seem, In (he interest of the "God- touch with things here. The realization of Ashland's possi bilities as a resort become apparent In a short while to the casual visitor i who has the perspective to see the advantages of the city. Upon the Impression which Ashland makes upon the stranger must rest the suc cess of the city's resort dreams, and it Is the unqualified approval of wide ly travelled visitors such as Mr. Mor ris which Indicates the appeal Ash land will make to the tourist travel. Mr. Morris left Ashland a con firmed booster for "Oregon's Fam ous Spa" and said: "I take charge of p big shoot and barbecue In Port land Sunday, and you can bet every one of the 250 guests whom we ex pect will hear from me of the beau ties which I have discovered In Ash land."

In the presence of his brother Henry and his advisers, "after long hours of fervent prayer and Almighty God had sent him the necessary enlightenment," the Kaiser disclosed his entire plan of operations and, towards the close of his address dwelt upon the Im mense Influence he wielded In these United States of ours In determining a presidential election. The former are the Kaiser's exact words, and his claim Is so arrogantly presumptuous and wide of the mark that nothing but insanity of a very pronounced type can furnish an excuse .for their utterance. Said the Kaiser, "Even now I rule supreme In the United States, where almost one-half of the population Is either of German birth or of German descent, and where nearly 3,000,000 German voters do my bidding at the presidential elec tions."
