EX-HUBBIES HAVE BATTLE FOR WOMAN

Gehring and Kidwell Met on Former Wife's Doorstep With Bad Result. WOMAN WAS ARRESTED WHEN SHE APPEARED COURT TO PROSECUTE ONE OF HER FORMER HUSBANDS THIS ACTION WAS TAKEN. This morning in the city court, John Gehring plead guilty to a charge of living with his divorced wife. Mrs. Gehring1, who appeared In the clfy to prosecute her ex-husband, who Is the sec1 ond one she has been divorced from,

II was greatly surprised when an officer H placed her under arrest on a charge of

k Ji eohabitatlng with Gehring. Mrs. Cen

tring plead not guilty and she will be 'given a hearing Tuesday morning. J This serio-comic affair was the re'jfpult. of a battle fought Saturday night between Mrs. Gehring's two divorced J husbands, John Gehring and a man framed Kidwell. The grass widow, t 'wlce removed, still possesses charms nr her retired lords and masters, des-L-jlte the fact that she is about sixty I 'cars of age. Saturday night it unfortunately came to pass that both Kidf I pell anrd Gehring called upon Mrs. GehGehring insisted on the right of way, jaslng his claim on the grounds that f? e had been Mrs. Gehring's latest husband. This argument failed to influence Kidwell and as a result the two i mens came to blows. Apparently Kidwell got the best of the combat, for Cehring retired- from hostilities and . I rushed to police headquarters to swear

"'i. jout an affidavit against Kidwell, charg-

? Ing mm with assault ana battery, tie Btated that Kidwell had hit him in the head with a stone. While Gehring wa3 filing his complaint Mrs. Gehring appeared on the cene and filed a charge of assault and Battery against hitn. I he woman i charged that her late second husband had whipped her. Gehring was then locked up. This morning Prosecutor 'Jessup filed against Gehring a charge; of cohabiting with Mrs. Gehring, and he ordered that when the woman appeared to prosecute the charge of assault and battery she had preferred, she should be arrested on a charge of cohabiting with Gehring. Mrs. Gehring was quite peevish when placed under arrest- She said that it was unjust, stating that Gehring had only been boarding at her home and ' that she had had no improper relations with him. She said that she had or- j dered him to leave the house and that ! he then whipped her. Kidwell has not been arrested. PARCELS POST AGAIN New York Merchants' Association Favors the Burnham Senate Bill. REASONS ARE SET FORTH Local merchants have received: a bulletin from the Merchants' association of New York, stating that it is opposed to a general parcels post in the belief that It would be injurious to the country merchant, but that it indorses the Burnham senate bill providing for a parcels post for merchandise and other articles mailed on rural routes. In the opinion of the New York Merchants' association, the provisions of this bill will promote the trade of country merchants by enabling them to make dally deliveries to their local customers at small cost, and will also prove a great convenience to farmers and others living in the country by making it unnecessary for them to travel to adjacent towns to obtain email supplies and deliver small parcels. Scotland and Whiikj. "One of the grossest misconceptions from which Scotland suffers," says a writer, "is that her national drink is ond always has been whisky. But this Is jast as uutrue, neither more nor less, as that the national garb of Scotland Is the kilt. Whisky, like the kilt, is a purely Celtic or highland product, and tip to the middle of the eighteenth century it was just a3 unfamiliar in the lowlands as the clan tartans. It was only after the '45 that the hisrhlauders began to settle In the lowlands and bring their whisky with them, hut before that the national drink of the lowlnnders had been ale. Tam-o'-Bhanter and Souter Johnny got Yoarin' fou' not on whisky, but on strong beer." The Pntrt, Fable teaches that the fates were three goddesses, holding, one a spindle, another a distaff and the third a pair of phears. They spun the thread of human life, then cut it oft, and men's destiny was either happy or uuhappv according to the texture of the wo .1 employed by those inexorable deities Might it not he said that here below we play more or less the part of the fates? It is we who. in some dermmold our own destinies. Pittsbi-r-Press. Another Sboclc. "Yes," said the waiter, "this cure Is ) thoroughly up to date. We cook by Hectrieity.

LINDEMUTH TO PAY RICHMOND VISIT

Comes Here to Look After Business Matters. Charles Lindemuth, president of the In'-: rational Independent Telephone a v. ion and present of the Richi . .1 Home Tele, h'-ne Company, is expected in the city from Chicago the latter part of this week. Mr. Linde-

i muth has retained interest in local bus- ! iness matters and it is believed he will IN CITY I make arrangements whereby he may

place their care in the hands of others. His official duties will require his residence at Chicago for a year at least. ES FABEWELL SI Pastor of Fifth Street M. E. Church Has Labored Here Long Time. YEAR OF GREAT ACTIVITY WILL BE ASSIGNED TO NO REGULAR CHARGE THE NEXT TWELVE MONTHS MADE GOOD IMPRESSION AT SHELBYVILLE. The Rev. J. O. Campbell, pastor of the Fifth Street M. E. church and Wayne County's candidate for the Republican nomination for congressman from this district, preached his farewell sermon at the church last evening. A large congregation heard his remarks. Mr. Campbell has been pastor of this church for the past four years and was one of the most popular ministers that ever held the pulpit in the church. Mr. Campbell states that he will not retire from tne ministry, but that he will not accept a charge for at least a year. Made Good Impression. The Rev. Mr. Campbell made a most favorable impression at the big RepubMean gathering at Shelbyville. All of the candidates for congressman attended this meeting and all of them delivered addresses. The Shelbyville Republican has the following to say of Mr. Campbell.

CAMPBELL

RMON

Rev. J. O. Campbell, who will enter attempting to bring about the defeat the convention as the candidate from j at the coming convention of AttorneyWayne county, caused an era of good i General Davidson, who "went after"

feeling over the audience with his wit. ! lie urged the selection of clean men, a j stand for clean principles and the con-1 ducting of official business in an hon-, est, truthful and open-handed way. Reform measures and new ideas are favored by Rev. Campbell. With his oratorical qualifications, Mr. Campbell pleased all those present and demonstrated that his voice, if chosen as the man, could easily be heard in every corner of the House of Representatives. THE PLAY ITSELF WAS GOOD. That Much, at Least, tha Actor-Critic Had to Admit. John Hare, the English actor, once went to see one of Beerbohm Tree's Infrequent performances of Hamlet. He would willingly have avoided Tree for some little time afterward for reasons obvious to others who, like him, had seen this least impressive of this actor's roles. Hare chivalrously remained in his box to the end of the play. As the curtain descended on each act he had dreaded the Invitation of his fellow player to his dressing room, where the usual courtesies would have been expected. Act by act slipped by without any word from the stage, and Hare grew proportionately relieved. As the last curtain fell, however, and Hare retired from the box he found a messenger at the door with "Mr. Tree's compliments, and wouldn't he come home for a bite of supper with some friends?" At table Hare parried opening after opening, yet not once did Tree refer directly to his Hamlet. Hare on his part dreaded every break in the conversation would bring the dreaded topic. After a decent time he drew away from table to go home. Tree accompanied him to the hall to put on his coat. "Now's my hour," thought Hare. Not one word from Tree. They shook hands on the threshold, and Hare started down the steps in happy relief Tree followed him to his carriage Hare heard him in dread. Still the topic was avoided. Tree, with cordial courtesy, opened the door. Hare slipped into the cushions of the carriage, joyfully heard the door slam and drew a dx'p sigh. But before the horses started Tree's head was in at the window, and he said, with blighting suavity: "At least. John, you'll admit it's a good play." The Source of Life. In paleozoic times it was the earth Itself, not the sun. to which plant an 1 animal primarily stood beholden for existence. This gives us a most In structive glimpse Into one planetologi process.

BAILEY WILL FIGHT AGAIN FOB LIFE

Senator from Texas Will Have5 to Face His Const. tuents Soon. SENATORS ARE UNEASY I the crossed wire of politics ! is responsible for this FEELING OF UNREST AMONG HIGHER LAWMAKERS. Washington, March 30. The crossed wires of politics are making a good many of the United States senators uneasy. Senator Kittredge, of South Dakota, supposed he was on good terms with his constituents, but as a result of the primaries the other day Co I. Crawford, the present governor of the state and a native of Indiana, will be the next senator. Even Kittredge does not know just what the trouble was. Among the democratic members of the body Senator Bailey, of Texas, has the most trouble on his hands. The democratic party of Texas is in a ferment over him. He intends to go home to fight for his political life once more. It is the old fight against him revived. Oris wing of his party wants him out of the senate because, as it is alleged, he had certain relations with the Standard Oil company, or its Texas branch, the Waters-Pierce Oil company. The effort of the senator's opponents at this time is to defeat him for delegate-at-large to the democratic national convention. Mr. Bailey invited the fight. Several mouths ago the democratic newspapers in the state opposed to him called on him to resign his seat in the senate come home and submit his case to a vote of the democrats of the state to State-wide primaries. It was understood at one time that the senator might accept that challenge, but his final decision was to test his popularity by running as a candidate for delegate-at-large. ) Bailey the Only Issue. The senator is the only issue in the campaign which is now red-hot from one end of the state to the other. From all accounts the campaign is one of the most picturesque the Lone Star state has ever witnessed. In many Of the anti-Bailey meetings a five-gallon oil can has been brought on the stage as an inspiration to the speakers. One of the new allegations against the senator is that he is athim in the original investigation, and who has been actively prosecuting the trusts that do business m the state, ; INTERESTED IK Local Man's Intercession to Avail Nothing for Friends There. NEW CHURCH PLANNED MEN WHO ORIGINALLY FOUGHT THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW BUILDING HAVE NOW DECIDED TO ERECT EDIFICE. Timothy Nicholson, clerk of the Friends Yearly Meeting, and other local friends have endeavored to restore peace among the two warring factions of the church at Amboy, Ind., but without success. It will be remembered that one faction favored the erection of a new church on the site of the old one. The other faction opposed this. The faction, entered suit for the possession of the old church and site but later this was withdrawn and a new church erected. Members of the second faction have now decided to rebuild the old church. Members of the faction which withdrew from the church have now effected an organization independent of any church and have applied for a charter. Dr. J. A. Baldwin, Riley Daily and Jonathan Pearson are trustees. G. M. Yoars is treasurer and Becca Pearson clerk. In this organization there are fifty-four charter members above the age of fifLeen years.

Whether or not he will make a vigorous right to nominate his successor is not known. He Is openly for Lieutenant Governor Miller for Governor, and for Representative E. F. Branch, of Martinsville, for Lieutenant Governor. There is not much doubt but that the party will give the Governor strong indorsement in its platform, unless he goes to the point of attempting to force the convention to declare for some of the measures which the last Legislature refused to pass at his request. There will be a meeting of representative members of the party here Tuesday, at which time the platform will be discussed. It is likely that the Governor will be invited then to submit his ideas. The Saloon Plants. Opinions differ widely among the arrivals as to just what saloon plank the resolutions committee of the Republican state convention, at its meeting Wednesday at noon, Bhould place in the convention platform. It is not unlikely that the resolutions committee will adopt something along the line that has been proposed a plank that will advocate local option for the rural counties which have" -;o cities of the first, second and third class, the remonstrance law be repealed and replaced by local option with the township and city ward as the unit. Nothing has been done on the plank as yet except the mailing of requests by State Chairman Goodrich to the various Republican leaders for expressions on the question for the benefit of the resolutions committee. So far the discussion has been purely Informal. The Twilight Of Life. The muscles of the stomach in old mgo are not as strong- or active as in youth and in consequence old people are very subject to constipa. tion and indigestion. Many seldom have a bowel movement without artificial aid. Many, also, havs unpleasant eructations of gas from the stomach after eating. All this can be avoided by the use o Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which permanently regulates the bowels so that passages come naturally, and so strengthens the stomach that food is digested without discomfort.

WIFE BELIEVED IN

OF FBEE LOf It Was on This Ground That Clarence Brown Was Granted Divorce. PRETTY CHILD IN COURT LITTLE ONE DID NOT KNOW IT WOULD NEVER AGAIN BE CON NECTED WITH ITS WAY WARC. MOTHER. Proving beyond the least possibility of doubt that his wife had not held her marriage vows sacred. Clarence Brown was granted a divorce from Bestie Brown in the Wayne circuit court this morning. The marital relations of the Browns has not been of the pleasantest and the defendant was a believer In free love, so a separation and divorce resulted. The woman is a niece of Col. Win. Huffman, of Anderson and gained considerable police notoriety upon the occasion of one of her visits to this city. She purloined a hat and was arrested. She escaped from the Home for Friendless Women, was reapprehended and finally released without being prosecuted upon the intercedence of her uncle and his representations to Judge Converse. The four year old daughter of the couple sat in the court room during the proceedings this morning. She was ignorant of the meaning of the transaction, whereby her mother was deprived of her claim upon her and the custody placed in the father. Mr. Brown has cared for and provided for the child since infancy. The mother was charged with adultery. The father and other witnesses asserted that during the short residence of the couple in this city, Wilbur Richardson, a railroader, was a frequent visitor at the home. He was accustomed to make his visit at a time when Brown was not home. Mrs. Brown said, he came to wipe the dishes. Richardson was quoted as saying he also hugged and kissed the young housewife. Mrs. Brown is the wayward member of a respectable Anderson family. She was declared by her husband to be a frequenter of sporting houses. She brought suit for divorce twice, but was refused in each instance as Brown contested the case. "No man shall ever kiss tne except my future husband," said the girl as she was about to leave the gate. "Suppose I agree to be your future" "Why. then, I'll kiss you," she said eagerly. And she did. Her mother was informed that he had proposed, and the old lady called on him the next day to arrange matters, and before he knew it he was eternally booked. It wud a very mean advantage, but a bird In the hand is worth two on the garden gate.
