Friends of the parties are making efforts to bring about reconciliation, but thus far have made but little headway. MT. von Schmidt placed the case in the hands of his attorneys, instructing them to exert every means to prevent his wife se- curing alimony, and to contest her suit from every legal standpoint.

THE COB PIPE INDUSTRY.
Over 1000 Day Man CfactHred at
BriGhtwOOd.

Comparatively few people are aware that
Brightwood boasts of a corncob factory,
which turns out quite a percentage of the
corncob pipes manufactured in the West.
The corncob pipe originated in Missouri. and
was first made in 1879 by Henry T1bbe, a
native of Holland, who operated one of the
first corncob~pipe factories in the United
States. The finest cobs for these pipes
come from Missouri by the carload, and
sell for % to q cents a bushel The cob for
a pipe differs from the ordinary cob, in
asmuch as it is larger and more heavily
wooded. A nephew of the originator OPP
crates the factory at Brightwood for DR..
w. HI. Johnson, and there Is feedmll run
in connection with it. The cob is first taken
in its rough state and sawed to the proper
size and then bored and turned and the
pores filled with plaster of paris. They are
then made smooth with sandpaper and given
a coat of Shellac, after which the pipes are
turned over to the girls. who adjust the
stem. The cane used for the stems comes
from the South, and is manufactured in ST
Louis ready for use. Fancy cob pipes are
also made at this factory and go through
the same process, with a little more work
The BrghtWood factory turns out between
1900 and 5000 a day. They are not sold to
the retail trade from the factory, but are
purchased by big jobbers, who ship them to
all parts of the globe.

FOUND WHERE HE VOTED
STATE MEDICAL BOARDS CASE
AGAINST DIR. RICHARDSON.
VIII Not Let Him Practice at Lafay-
cite Because His Home Is
i'm Chicago.

The State Board of Medical Examination
and Registration has finally disposed of the
case of DR.. Richardson for good, if the re-
ports on the subject and their relation to
the law count for anything. At the time the
prosecution of DR.. Richardson was decided
on, the statement was made that the final
action of the board would be based on the
result of investigation as to the ply
sician's right to practice in Indiana. DR..
Richardson had visited Lafayette period
ically for several years end received his pa
tents in hotel in that city. A recent act
of the Legislature specified that no ply
stefan, not resident of Indiana, could open
an Office in this State for the practice Of
medicine, and the board held that DIR. Rich
ardson's case came within the law At the
last meeting of the board DR.. Richardson's
attorneys appeared and made the claim that
he was a resident of this State, and, in view
of this statement, the board decided to in
vestigate, and in the meantime let the mat
ter rest. A visit to Chicago, however,
proved, the board says, that Dr. Richard
son had registered as a voter of that city,
and that on Nov he had cast his ballot as
a citizen of Chicago. The board, therefore,
decided that the law forbid his opening an
office in this State, and that the designation
of a certain place at which he would meet
patients was in reality the opening of an
office, and that therefore, he could not le-
gally practice according to his usual plan.
1t was further decided to cause mis- arrest
as soon he arrived in Lafayette, as he
had announced in an advertisement he
would do on a certain date, but in some
manner DR.. Richardson, 1t is claimed, either
learned of the intention of the board or Sus-
pected such move on its part, and did

SALVATION ARMY RELIEF.
Christmas Dinner and a Distribution
of Clothing.

The Salvation Army is preparing to give
a dinner to the poor on Monday following
Christmas. The dinner will be more partic-
ularly for women and children who are in
need, and it is the intention to make hun
dreds of hungry ones happy on that occa-
sion. The Salvation Army. in it's work
about the city, is brought in touch with
much Indebtedness and want, and the
army is always ready to lend a helping
hand. The officers are hopeful that the
public will take an interest in this Christ
mas dinner and help make it a success.
Members of the army will solicit funds dur
ing the next two weeks. Each solicitor will
be provided with a subscription book bear
ing the certificate of A. w. Crawford adju-
tant of the army Only those exhibiting
these books are entitled to collect funds.
The army is also arranging to have dis
tribution of clothing among the poor on the
Saturday following Christmas Garments
for women and children are especially de-
sired in the way of donations. Boots and
shoes and stockings and, in fact, all kinds
of clothing for men, women and children,
will be acceptable Donations will be re-
ceived at the army headquarters at 122 West
Market street. AT headquarters there will
be a sewing machine and some one who is
handy at cutting and fitting will remodel
the garments where changes are necessary
Adjutant Crawford says the Central Union
Telephone Company has agreed to donate a
telephone for the next two or three months
and the adjutant can be consulted by phone
in regard to this relief work.

LOW GAS RESPONSIBLE
TEN-YEAR-OID BOY ARRESTED FOR
PICKING UP COAL ON TRACKS.
Mother Had to Have Fuel to Heat Her
HOuse-What the Mayor
h Promises.

The low gas supply was primarily respon-
sible for the arrest Of a small boy last even
ing Frank Gray, ten years old, and his
mother, a widow, live at 1919 Yandes street.
The gas in the stoves in their house was as
low as in most of the others in the city.
Yesterday morning it just fiekered above
the burner. There was hardly enough heat
TO cook supper and the house became bitter
cold The mother sent her boy out with
basket to look along the railroad track and
gather up the stray coal. The boy had not
proceeded far down the track until he met
Patrolman Stoddard, who arrested him and
took him to the police station on the charge
OF petty larceny. About o'clock the boys
mother entered the police station and told
the desk sergeant her story. Our gas was
so low" she said, that we had to have fuel,
and l hoped that Frank would get enough
coal on the railroad track to tide over
until tomorrow
She had with her friend, who had enough
property to go on the boys bond, and the
sergeant directed them to the turkeys Of
fee After the bond was made out the boy,
his face red with weeping, was let out of
the dark cellroom and ran TO his mother.
She pulled his cap over his ears, tucked a
muff1er around his neck and the three went
away. The boy will have to appear in Po-
lice Court tomorrow morning to answer to
the charge of stealing, unless Judge Cox
summarily dismisses the case.
Mayor Taggart said yesterday that he
would ask the city attorney 10 determine
what action the city has to take toward
forcing the gas companies to supply to the
people the gas they pay for. Providing the
city has that power, said the mayor, it is its
duty to use it. He also notified the superin-
tcndent of the street-railroad company that
the ordinance requiring street cars to be
heated must be obeyed. Some of the cars,
he was informed, were heated and some
were not. None of the trailers were
equipped with heaters. The mayor said he
would insist that the law be obeyed An
other point of law in connection with the
cold weather was dealt with by the mayor
when he instructed the police to notify prop
erty owners, particularly down town. that
the sidewalks must be cleaned of snow.
The ice companies will put several hun
dred men to work tomorrow morning
cutting ice on the ponds and the canal and
storing it in the houses The ice is from
seven to nine inches thick. The ice men
have been advised by the Weather Bureau
Uhat the weather will not become "Seri-
Ously'' warmer before tomorrow. The mer-
curry hung around 20 degrees all day yester-
day after the sun settled down to business.

o'clock in the morning 1t was degrees.
The minimum temperature yesterday was

The dealers in wood and coal are rubbing
their hands as much as the sufferers who
depend on gas, but from far different rea-
son. The demand for wood was too strong
for the supply in many cases. The Friendly
Inn did a gratifying trade in wood yester-
day.
