The most important economic ques-
tion which confronts the American peo-
pie today is the control of consumption,
the most widespread of all diseases. In
view of the fact that there are 1885,
900 cases Of consumption in the United
states with more than 100000 deaths
from the disease, the book. THE Self
Cure Of Consumption Without Medi-
cine" by Charles II. S. Davis, NJ. D.,
viii be eagerly sought The object is
to show that consumption is not an in
durable disease. but that from its incip-
iency especially and almost to its last
stages. before actual decay has actual
ly taken place, that 1t can be cured in
at least ninety per cent. of the cases.
The book is an exponent of the fresh
air cure, in conjunction with proper
diet 1t is full of facts that every lay
man ought to know, and put so simply
and sensibly that a child can under
stand it. 1t is plain and practical and
well written. DR.. Davis also shows
that il is not necessary to go away
from home but that the patient may be
treated quite as well and cured in his
own home "The Self-Cure Of Con-
sumption is published by e. b. Treat

ARRESTED
The Man Who Claimed to Have Been
Robbed, Charged With Being
A.. an Embezzler. ...-

Pomeroy, O., Oct 27-After inves-
tigating for month, the grand jury
indicted County Treasurer Thomas J..
Chase, charging the embezzlement of
$I45oo from the county treasurer on
Sept 9, when he claimed that the
treasury was looted byamasked robbers
and himself locked in the vault. When
Chase was brought from the county
treasury into the court his bond was
fixed at $1,000. As he was unable to
furnish bail, he was remanded total.
The arrest Of Chase caused no surprise
in iMeiggs County, but there is much
excitement over indictments that are
expected to be returned against other
persons. The name of one of these per-
sons is on the lips OF all and he has
been suspected as much as Chase him
elf for over month. Chase claims
that two unknown masked men enter
ed his office and robbed the safe,
locked him in the vault, and made their
escape in daylight without being seen
by anyone about the courthouse 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 was shown to the grand jury that
at least half a dozen men were sitting
in front OF the courthouse all forenoon
of Sept 9, and saw no strangers
As soon as the Indictment against
Chase was reported the grand jury re-
sunled its investigation on the theory
that there was at least one or two con-
federates to turn the combination on
the vault door and possibly another
keeping watch outside of the building.
If Chase,is convicted the United States
Fidelity and Guaranty Co. Of Balti-
more will refuse to pay the county $Io-,
900 insurance against daylight robbery
as the Indictment is for ernbezzlement.
The burden then would fall On Chase
tWenty-six individual bondsmen who
were accepted by the county cofiiinis-
sioners for 100000 AS half Of them
are said. I'd be insolvent, the Others will
have about $4,000 each to pay.
Chase comes of good family, is 50
years old, has a wife, two sons and one
the younger son, Guy, being
deputy treasurer Chase is member
of the Methodist Church, leader IN
Sunday School work and prominent
Mason and was never before suspected
of wrong doing The family are noted
singers. Chase has been falling rap
idlv since the grand Jury has for weeks
been calling witnesses in his case and
seems on the point Of utter collapse.
As Prosecutor Fish is one OF Chase s
bondsmen, the investigation under the
appointment Of Judge Wright has been
conducted BY @. Il Bradbury.
