Pomeroy. O.. Oct 27.-After investi-
eating for a month, a grand Jury in
dicted County Treasurer Thomas J.
Chase. charging the embeZzlement of
sI4.500 from the Meigs county treasury
on September 9.when he said the treas
ury was looted in daylight by two
masked robbers, who locked him in q
vault Chase's bond was fixed at $780,
00O He was unable to furnish bail.
and was sent to Jail.
The arrest of Chase caused no sur
prise in Meigs county. but there Is
much excitement over the indictments
that are expected against other per-
sons. The name of one OF these other
persons is on the lips of all, as this
person has been suspected as much as
Chase himself for a month. Chase was
found locked up on September by his
daughter. who rushed to a bank and
thence to the fair grounds for some
one who could open the vault. 1t was
shown to the grand jury that half a

9. and that none of these men saw the
robbers.
AS soon as the indictment against
Chase was reported the grand jury re-
sumed its investigation on the theory
that if Chase were guilty. there was at
least one, probably two confederates.

died suddenly of heart failure. follow
ing a sharp attack of acute nervous
indigestion.
He was taken iii Monday afternoon
at his Office in the federal building,
and his condition was such that the
attending physician deemed his re-
moval unwise at that time. Yesterday
Mr.. Van Colt appeared much better
and was taken to his home in West
seth street. He walked to the elevator
IN the federal building without diff
Guilty. and his physician believed that
the postmaster was merely suffering
from an attack similar to several he
has had during the past year.
A consultation of physicians was
held as soon as Mr.. Van Colt reached
his home. and they gave a favorable
progncsis. provided apoplexy did not
intervene. Shortly after. however. the
patient had sinking spell and died
of heart failure.
Mr.. Van Colt had been a vigorous
man. but of late he had been subjected
to an unusual amount of trouble, and
this is believed to have undermined
his health. The recent arrest Of his
son. Richard Van Colt. charged with
coloniZing. was a severe blow to the
postmaster. who expressed his firm
belief in his sons innocence These
troubles. coupled with advancing age

THE CAUSE OF LEPRosY.
Dr. Jonathan Hutchinson, of Eng land, Says It Is the Eating of
 Decomposing Fish.

The conclusion of Dr. Jonathan
 Hutchinson, of England, after a
 study of leprosy as it appears in
 various parts of the world, is that
 the disease is caused wholly by
 eating decomposing or imperfect
 ly cured fish. The London Times
 is inclined to accept Dr. Hutchin-
 sons idea. 1t is held that in all
 countries and in all ages leprosy
 has been and is still due to the consumption of Thigh" fish. The
 preference for fish in a tainted condition is an acquired taste"
 and it is claimed that it prevails
 among a sufficient number of peo- pie to account for the dreadful dis ease wherever it exists. Leprosy was nearly general in England and on the continent in the six teenth century, and it is claimed still prevails in many fishing sta tions, especially in Norway, Ice land and Tracadie. It is repre- sented that at these places there is still preference for fish in a tainted condition. It is noted, says the Cincinnati Enquirer, that in regions where leprosy was formerly common, it has disap- peared with the advancement of agriculture and the discarding of fish for food. In India vegetari- ans are free from it, but the fish, eaters are much troubled. Dr.. Hansen, of Bergen, discovered that persons having leprosy carry in their tissue a bacillus resem- bling that of tuberculosis, and the disease is thought to be a mod. ification of tuberculosis, caused by specific virus developed in de. caying fish. The scientists, espe- cially those whose direction is in the medical line, are always mak- ing it harder to get along in the world; but it is probably better to ! give heed to their theories, even if there may be nothing in them, for 1t may happen that a little care in he selection of the dried fish we sat may add a few years to life; md 1t is the general agreement

THE COUNTRY PHYSICIAN.
Has to Cover an Immense Territory, and That When the Roads
 Are Worst.

ssOf all the men 1 meet on my rounds of the state there is none for whom I have as great respect as I have for the country doctor" said the Southdown drummer the other day, according to the Chicago Inter Ocean. "The city physician is often pretty hard working man if he has much of a practice, but he knows few of the trials that the country doctor faces the year round. The coun- try doctor is the modern mar. tyr, and take it all through he IS the best read and most aggres- sive citizen of his community.
 "The country phsician who is well established usually has q practice that covers a territory of at least a hundred square miles. There is hardly a week in the year that he does not have patients at the extreme opposite boundary lines of his territory. I know one old doctor down the state who drives an average dis tance of 20 miles a day every day in the year. Of course there are days when he does not drive five miles day, but there are other times when he drives 30 or 40 miles a day.
 "The worst side of country practice, these doctors say, is that the greater part of the sick ness comes during the worst kind of weather. When the roads are good and the weather is fine peo- pie are not so apt to be sick, but when winter comes on and the roads are rough or muddy the country doctor is the man who has to be out and going.
 "The mud roads of Illinois have shipped ten years off the lives of the majority of the doc tors. One physician told me he was the first man of his family name to become gray, and he laid the blame to exposure.
 "The country doctor is not merely a physician. He is sort of family counselor, nurse, spirit ual and legal adviser. l heard oi physician down in the southern q sorte of vesr-pocKer bank an6 loaned money and discounted notes for nearly every farmer within the range of his practice

DIVORCE LAWS ABROAD.
h France the Innocent Party May Re. cover All the Presents He or
 She Has Given.

There are many curious and inter- esting facts regarding the marriage and divorce laws of foreign countries, said R. J. Brown. who, reports the h. dianapolis News, recently returned from trip abroad, where he made a 7 study of the question.
 Breaches of promise are averted in Hungary by an express declaration of the civil marriage act (1S95) that the relations created by betrothal do not give the right to command the con- clusion of a marriage, Lut if either party withdraws from an engagement without just reasons he or she is bound to grant compensation to the extent of the outlay incurred. Divorce in the English sense does not exist but the courts can decree the personal separation of married couple with out dissOlving the bonds of matrimony.
 "A curious law prevailing in France provides that, before being married, children of family, although over age, shall seek in respectful and formal terms the advice of their father and mother. It makes no difference. how ever. whether the consent of parents is given, for the couple can be married a month after under any circumstances. This Is also the case In the Neither lands.
 A divorce further entities the in- nOcent party to recover all the pres ents he or she may have made.
 "Accorufng to the constitution of the Netherlands, the civil marriage must always precede the religious ceremony. The latter. indeed, is left entirely to the conscience of the parties concerned. There Is also law providing that DO man or woman under 30 can marry without the consent of parents. If the consent be refused the couple have to appear before a judge. who advises them as he thinks best.
 Many countries have now abolished all marriage fees. This Is the case in Norway. while in the Netherlands cer- tain days in the week are set apart when persons may be married without ,aya&At" ------
