TREASURER INDICTED.
Grand Jury Disbelieves Story of Rob-
berry and Holds Him for
Embezzlement.

Pomeroy, O., Oct. Platter investl-
eating for a month, the grand jury on
Wednesday indicted County Treasurer
Thomas ]. Chase, charging the embez-
Element of $14 800 from the county treas
ury on September 9, when he claimed
that the treasury was looted by masked
robbers and himself locked in the vault
When Chase was brought from the coun-
ty treasury into the court his bond was
furnish bail, he was remanded to Jail.
The arrest Of Chase caused no surprise
in Meiggs county, but there is much ex-
| element over the indictments that are
expected against other persons.
| Chase claims that two unknown
masked men entered his Office and robbed
the safe, locked him in the vault, and
made their escape in daylight without
being seen by anyone about the court
house or in the town. Chase was found
locked up by his daughter, who rushed
to local bank and thence to the fair
grounds for some one who could open
the vault. 1t is shown to the grand jury
that at least half dozen men were
sitting in front of the courthouse all
forenoon of September 9, and saw no
strangers.
If Chase is convicted the United States

timore will refuse to pay the county

THE PRESIDENTS CALL.
Outline of Scope of the Proposed
Second Hague Peace
Conference.

Washington, Oct. 31.-In a circular
note Secretary Hay has carried out the
presidents instructions relative to
proposing a second Hague conference.
The note not only contemplates the re-
assembling of The Hague conference
for the consideration of questions spe-
cifcally mentioned by the original con-
ference, as demanding further atten-
ton, such as the rights and duties of
neutrals; the inviolability of private
property in naval warfare and the
bombardment of ports by naval forces,
but goes further by practically indoors
ing the project of general system of
arbitration treaties and the establish
ment of an international congress to
meet periodically in the interests of
peace The issue of the call while the
present war is in progress is justified
by the fact that the first Hague con-
ference was called before our treaty of
peace with Spain was concluded.

Civilization the Means of killing
Many South Sen Natives.
The influence Of the missionaries has
certainly been for the most part bene-
fetal to the natives of the south sea
islands. The constant antagonism Of
the less reputable trades and the beach
combers, the lost human fotsam and
jetsam of the south seas, to the mis-
sionaries is shining evidence that their
work is for the real good of the ma
tives.

consequence pneumonia.
In the good old days the rains beat
upon the shining oiled shoulders and
back of the half naked as harmlessly
as on the well pressed plumage of the
wild duck, but now the cheap cotton
shirt or white jacket clings wet and
clammy to the skin, the quick chill
strikes through the blood, and the END
comes with appalling swiftness and

The gaudily beribboned, absurd little

toned white BARRIERS jacket above the

IMITATION PEARLS.
The Chemical Process by Which They
Are Produced.


Are Produced.
Among all precious stones few are
SO extensively initiated as the pearl
The real article is silvery white,
iridescent gem extracted from the
pearl oyster. The genuine pearl is
really an unfructified egg of the oys-
ter.
Its imitation is arrived at by chem
ical process. The liquor employed in
the manufacture is called essence
dorient." The base of this compound
is prepared by throwing into water Of
river fish called the blay.
The scales are first carefully washed
and put to soak In water, when the
pearly-like film falls away and forms
sediment at the bottom Of the vessel.
This sediment is worth to the manu-
facturer f5 an ounce.
White wax of mucilage or gum ara
bic forms part Of the mixture proper
for the more important and expensive
limitations, such as those made to imi-
tate the rare oriental pearls which
fetch fabulous prices.
The emerald Is another stone which
Is cleverly initiated. A perfect emerald
Is the rarest stone in the world, though
the trade ranks it after the ruby an6
the diamond. The best emeralds come
| from Peru, the limitations from France
| The real article becomes electric BY
| friction, and herein lies the difference
between it and the imitation.

CRIME CONFESSED.
Indiana Woman Pleads Guilty to Muir
der of stepdaughter-sent to
Prison for Life

Hartford City, Ind, Oct. 2S.-In-
dicted Thursday morning by the grand
jury for the poisoning of her step
daughter, Crystal Krauss, the defend
ant, Mrs Rae M. Krauss, after de-
manding immediate trial, pleaded
guilty to a charge Of murder in the
first degree and, walking calmly to
the bench, handed to Judge Vaughn a
signed confession written October 16,
while a prisoner in the Blackford
county jail The audience listened in
tently while the confession was being
read, after which the jury retired for
Is minutes, returning with verdict of
guilty. Immediately Judge Vaughn pro-
nounced the sentence, which carries with
it Imprisonment for life in the women's
prison at Indianapolis, and within half
officers and followed by mob, Kissing
and uttering cries of violence, was Cd
her way to the interurban train which
was to carry her to prison. The con-
fesslon pleads that the crime was COM
mitted while the defendant was dispos-
sessed of her senses; that she had con-
fessed to her husband, W. r. Krauss;
that she was prompted to poison her
step-daughter by an indescribable de-
sire to kill, and after dealing at length
with the domestic relations of the fam
lily, which, the confession says, were
most pleasant, concludes with an invo-
cation of Gods, help in supplying
strength to bear the sorrow which she
endures.

The Moon and the Weather.

The moon is the most powerful
agent in producing the tides on the
earth. 1t also produces some slight
variations in the earth's magnetism.
So far as science has been able to in
vestigate there is absolutely no change
in the weather which can be attribut-
ed to the moon, although half or more
of mankind seem to believe that the
moon does have some control over the
weather. All such beliefs, including
the time for planting gardens and for
going fishing, are mere supershtions,
the survivals of an age of ignorance

AT THE wOMAN's CLUB.
The Situation in the East INTEREST
inEIy Discussed Yesterday,


inEly Discussed Yesterday.
A most interesting meeting, the most
interesting and successful perhaps
since the organization of the Woman's
Club. was held at the club rooms yes
terday afternoon. Current events, with
the war in the East as the central
topic, were taken up, Miss Madge
Reid, presiding very gracefully and
efficiently as chairman.
She opened the talk, which was con-
Quoted informally, with a clear and
concise magazine account of the cause
of the war, in which the Russian point
OF view was given. Miss Mary Ella
Johnson followed with a most delight
full and cleverly written paper, pre-
senting the question from the Japa-
nese standpoint. This was thoroughly
enjoyed by the hearers and spoken of
most enthusiastically. There was gem
eral discussion of Secretary Hays let
ter to the powers regarding the pres
ervation of China's administrative en-
tity, and this was succeeded by ques-
tons and answers upon the subject,
prepared by Miss Reid.
Tea was served, and a brief period
afterwards devoted to the discussion
Oh musical TOPICS. Two IaQleS mad
been selected to prepare papers or
talks upon musical questions of the
day, with "Parsifal" as the narticu-
lar subject. They were unable to be
present and in their absence, a very
complete sketch of "Parsifal." from
some current magazine, was read by
Miss Reid.
The afternoon was considered SO en-
tirely successful that it was unani-
mously voted to continue the weekly
meetings so pleasantly inaugurated.
The decision was made, however, to
change the day from Saturday to
Tuesday, in view of the fact that there
are many conflicting interests on Sat
urday, as it is. in a measure, a half
holiday. and the day on which the
masculine members of the family are
apt to have an afternoon at home.
Hereafter the department for the
study of current events will meet ev-
cry Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock.
The next meeting will be held Tues
day week. The subject at that time
will be Civics, or how women can help
to make a city beautiful. Mrs. Frank
B. Screven will be chairman.
The new department it is felt by
those present yesterday will offer a
widening of intellectual horizon
among women and will supply a very
much needed incentive fof thought and
study. Its success, from the auspici-
Gus beginning yesterday, is now be-
lieved to be assured.
