A FAMILY TROUBLE.
Or. Nisbet Resigns Two Offices and
Goes West.

Or. Nisbet Resigns Two Offices ant
Goes West.
Tuesday morning DR.. VIM. X
Nisbet took the north bound train
and left the city. On the following
day It became known that he had
left without the knowledge of his
family. His office was examined
aud found in very disorderly con-
dition, as II it had been ransacked
and most Of its contents removed.
DIR. Nisbet was young physician
of good character and was not open
to any suspicion Of crookedness in
his affairs. lie was county physi-
clan and pension examiner, both Of
which positions paid him well, and he
had fair practice for a young doc
tor. There was q mystery about his
departure until the mail from the
north arrived. When that came it
brought two letters from him, post
marked "Carmi, ILL.," One was to
Judge Winfree, resigning his posi-
ton as county physician. The other
was to his wife, the contents of
which have not been made public.
DIR. Nisbet some three years ago
married the only daughter of Mr.. o
s. Brown and the young couple have
made their home with Mrs. Nisbets
parents. So far as the public is ad-
vised, their married life has been
happy and congenial. 1t has leaked
out that the cause of DR.. Nisbet's de-
parture was his unwillingness TO live
In the house with his mother-in-lAw.
His wife would not agree to go To-
housekeeping and SO he left. So far
as Mr.. Brown is concerned, DIR. ME-
bet was very much attached 10 him
and their relations have al ways been
pleasant. Only q short while ago bc
presented the young people each with
q 81 900 bond. The KESTUoKrAs was
unable to find Mr.. Brown yesterday,
as he has been out In the country all
the week. From an intimate friend
of the family 1t was learned that Mrs.
Nisbet 10 very much distressed over
the affair. The letter she received
was of q very sffsctionate character
aud DR.. Nlsbet expressed much re-
greet at having to leave.
Mrs. Brown is also much grieved
to think she was concerned in the
matter aud stated that she had never
knowingly said anything to offend
her SON n-law and didn't know that
he disliked her.
The fact that DR.. Nlsbet has
resigned two good Offices, Leads to
the conclusion that he does not
expect to come back, but the opinion
Is gaining currency that II is a hasty
step taken without proper delibera-
ton and that he will soon be back.
Mr.. Brown is man Of means and
and his daughter who mar
ried young lie still scarcely out Of her
teens. The young couple have no
children.
DR.. Nisbet's place % county physi-
clan has been filed by the appoint
ment Of DIR. Dulin.

Strange Effect OF Alknli Water ON Q Bur-
led Corpse.
WINNIPEG. MAN, Jan. 1S.-A remarkable
case Of what is alleged to be petrifaction
has just come to light. Sixteen years ago
a ha!f-breed named Ro!ade buried his wife
about twenty miles from this city. A few
days ago he, with some friends, exhumed
the remains, intending to carry them to
another burying place. Upon opening
the coffin the body was found perfectly
preserved, the eyes and mouth being
partly open and the hair quite black and
natural. When al attempt was made to
lift the remains 1t was found quite impos.
sible. as they were completely petrifled.
Examination showed that a small spring
of alkali water had been running through
the coffin and the action Of the water on
the remains had caused petriHcation. As.
sistance was procured and the remains
raised to the surface and transferred to
the city, where they were weighed. The
weight was found to be TOO pounds.
