indianapolis, Ind, April 1.-The su.
preme court ruled that husband may
cause his wife exquisite mental tor.
ture by writing accusations and draw
ing pictures on eggs and leaving said
eggs where she could find them.
The decision was in the case of DR..
William II. Stewart and wife of Oak
land City, in which the former was
charged with putting the eggs to a
new and very novel use.
The stewards were married in 1870
and became the parents of six chill
dren, four of whom are living and
grown. The evidence indicated that
the man and wife were possessed OF
ferry tempers and that their domes-
tic life was not one sweet, blissful
song.
According to the testimony, the doc.
tor struck her about twenty years ago
but that did not cause the separation

1t was testified that while Mrs
Stewart was away the doctor amused
himself by visiting the henhouse and
drawing pictures and writing messag-
es to her on the eggs. The eggs were
DISPLAYED so the wife and her children
could find them.
The wife sued for divorce. charging
cruel and inhuman treatment. She
told about the pictures and messages

tuous wife, in the presence OF her

more exquisite mental torture than
any other which fiendish ingenuity

RAILROADS MIGHT
IGNORE ORDINANCE
Anti-smoke Measure Is Not
Taken Seriously by P. r.
r. or G. & O.

The Pennsylvania Railroad company
will probably refuse to comply with
the terms of the local anti-smoke ordi-
nance without first contesting its le-
galty. The ordinance says that it
snail be unlawful for any locomotive
TO be fired so that gray or black SMOKE
is emitted from the stack within the
limits of the city.
1t is rather wei known that locOmO-
lives cannot b" operated, or at least
they are not, without black or gray
smoke pouring from the stacks. The
ordinance, as ii effects the railroad
companies. including the c. and O.
railway OF Indiana as we'll as the Penn
sylrania lines. will. ri legal. compel
them to either maintain smoke consunl-
erS on engine stacks while operating
in the city, or compel the company to
install smoke consumers in the engines
which operate in and out OF the city.
Attorney John l.. Rupe for the Penn
syivania stated Saturday that he had
not investigated the ordinance, but oX-
pressed surprise that council had pass
ed such a measure. Inasmuch as the
adjustment and removal of smoke con
sumers ON engines as they enter and
leave the city would be a big handi.

ference was that the Pennsylvania
company would not comply without
