A nIGAMisr FRoM CHEYENNE.

John w. Wesley, of Cheyenne, known
in Denver as DIRTY Jack" was arrested
yesterday by Deputy Sheriff Hollings-
worth. He is charged with bigamy.
Wesley has been living quite recently in
Chey enne. He was married TO a half
blooded negress, whom he sent East some
weeks ago. After disposing of this wife
he met "a little 10 year old girl named
Lettie Heron, who had been employed
in taking care Of baby in a neighboring
family. Here she met Wesley. One
night she did not return home, and he
fears by telling her that her guardian
would punish her. Finding that his con-
versation had thoroughly alarmed the
child, he proceeded to get her more COM
pletely IN his power by suggesting that
she accompany him to Denver. On
Wesley promising that his parents would
take care OF her, the child consented, and
last Thursday they took the train tor Den
yer. On the journey Wesley proposed
to the little girl that she marry him. This
the child positively refused to do. When
Denver was reached, the child was taken
TO Westley's home, an i'll kept and dirty
little shanfy near the Grant smelter.
The first clue to the Whereabouts OF the
missing child was obtained by Mr.. j. +.
Abraham, who noticed IN the columns Of
the Tribune Republican hat a marriage
license had been issued to j. w. Wesley
and Lettie Heron. Guided by this infor-
nation Mr.. Abraham. who is a brother
in law OF the little girl, also her guardian,
came direct to Denver. He at once laid
the case before Deputy Sheriff Holdings
worth. The whereabouts of Wesley
we're unknown. but it was ascertained that
formerly he had been employed by the
Electric Light company. Here it was
asccrtained that Wcstley' s father was q
driver OF a garbage cart somewhere in tn,
city. With this very mesgre clue. the
deputy sheriff aud Mr.. Abraham set oul
TO find the bigamist. by 4 O'Clock the,
had found him and the child vas with
him. aud when she saw her guardian, sh,
quickly left her husband and claimed tn,
protection of the former. Wesley at frs
seemed quite surprised at his Hrest. and
made some vain boasts of sticking to the
child until he died. but when Mr.. Hol
lingsworth told him TO be quiet and CONF
along with him, be did so very quickly.
He is now in the county Jail.
The little girl who has been so cruelty
imposed upon saws that she was forced
into complying with Wcstley's request by
threats. He also induced her to believe
that her guardian, accompanied by q de-
~tective. was after her and that she would
be imprisoned il caught. but If she mar
riej him he could claim her and NO one
could take her away. Believing this, the
unfortunate little girl consented to the
marriage. She is now safe with her
brother in law. who will take her to his
home in Cheyenne. Wesley will be taken
to Cheyenne and prosecuted for bigamy.
His reputation while in Denver was not
good several Of his fellow employees OF
the Electric Light company having 'ac.
cused him Of stealing various small ar
ucles at different times. The ~fureeoinl
account Of the affair was obtained from
Mr. Abraham, the child butheriu-law
Tribune Republican.

and of great weight. IL is eve said to

IT Is already very evident that the
democracy Of the frontier counties Of the
territory will make vigorous and success
full war this fall. In Fremont comfy
especially, a county rapidly settling up,
the party is wide awake. Heretofore the
situation in Fremont has presented a
political anomaly. With an undoubted
numerical Democratic majority. the bulk
Of the county Officials are Republicans.
This is due to a lack of organization, and
a general good natured c~arelessness. This
fall, however, will place the political au-
thorify in accord with the sentiment OF
the people. Democratic votes have elect
ed Republican oficeholders for the last
time in the history of Fremont.

In THE deposition of the Bulgarian
prince, the claws of the Russian bear have
again been unbared, and il needs no par
ticulahy keen political cyesight to discover
that these claws point a menace to Eng
land. Russia wants nothing so bad as a
rupture with the former mistress of the
seas and arbiter of Europe. England
hollis in a fast failing grasp all that Rus
sia desires, and the rending thereof is only
a question of the time necessary to goad
England into action.

Chinese Pirates and Their Customs.

In attacking foreign ship favorite
weapon Of the pirates is the stink pot"
more elegantly known as the 4asphyxia-
ting vase II La an earthen pot or vase
filed with a most villainous and evil
smelling compound; the vase breaks
when it is thrown on the deck OF ship,
and the stuff scatters about and puts in
its fine work Immediately. The Euro
pean nose cannot endure It, but the Chi
nese nose Is not specially disturbed. The
Europeans are driven from the neigh
borhood OF this odor-laden shell, and
thus the pirates obtain their opportunity
of mounting to the deck.
Two or three years ago an English
steamer, lying peacefully at anchor in a
bay in the Lin-Chow peninsula, was cap
tured in this way. The pirates came
alongside unsupported; few OF them
mounted to the deck and threw stink
pot where it would do the most good"
and then the rest followed, and the
steamer was captured without the she'd
ding of a single drop of blood. Tie fact
was that the steamer was on a smuggling
expedition and in a place where she had
no legitimate business. AS the
crew had made no resistance the
pirate captain was kindly disposed
and permitted them to retain their
heads. He gave them small junk in
exchange for the steamer and started
them on their way to Hong Kong. The
steamer was plundered, but not burned.
Notice was sent to the Chinese author
tiles at Canton and a gunboat went down
and took final possession. There was no
attempt to pursue the pirates, as their
offense was greatly mitigated by the
illegal business Of the steamer.

Pedestrian PARTIES" Recent Inyen
ton.

Pedestrian parties" are another recent
invention of young women looking for
something novel and lively. Six or
eight young people duly chaperoned will
sally forth as early as o'clock in the
morning and walk five or six miles before
breakfast. Where the fun comes in does
not appear to finite mind; nor does
there appear to be any great amount of
ecstasy with that form Of social
diversion known as going round the
road" This pastime consists Of forming
a party of dozen congenial spirits,
storming an unoocupied grip-car and
riding round trip. To ego round the
road" with the greatest amount Of en-
joyment, am informed that there must
be moonlight and shat each escort must
be provided with box OF bon-bons.
Summing" has not found any great
amount of favor in Chicago; but it may
be adopted. The fact that it is stlst for
the fun OF the thing" and only on q
lark" seems TO DO excuse enough for any
sort of fOlly.-Chicago Tribune.

As rode In the other day thunder
storm fell, and got down and led my
horse under the nearest porch by the
roadside. The porch was half hidden
with grape vines. Down the steep bank
stood the largest and finest fig trees l
ever saw. These fig trees, the owner
told me as stood there waiting for the
rain to cease, bear three crops each sea-
son.
They lie 30 thick on the ground, these
figs, he said, IN their black, waxen
honey, that they kill the grass, and you
can not walk about under the trees OF
near them without your feet being sealed
to the ground. Sell them. So insisted.
But the old man told nae that he could
only sell few. He Is two miles from
the railroad here. And then, as you
must know, the taste for figs is like the
taste for opera, acquired and rare. Yes,
he dries some of them, but people prefer
to buy the little boxes from Syria. He
told me, however, that he could make Q
little money out Of dried figs by selling
them to the Cinnamon. I asked aftel
the process practiced in curing them
and he told me he merely put than in q
fiour-sack, tied Il tight and Let than liz

The following are the practical con-
clusions arrived at by DR.. Franz Spaeth:
A temperature of 1O4122 degrees Fa-
hernheit generally is the best for all
foods and drinks, and where solid food
is to be masticated it should not exceed
95 degrees Fluids may be borne at i40-
149 degrees in small swallows if cold
solids are eaten with them. The warm
ing of the body, for which purpose hot
drinks are sometimes taken, can be at
trined ut temperatures which exceed the
blood heat COS degrees Fahrenhei1 by
1924 degrees Fahrenheit and the danger
and pain of higher temperatures are
needless. People who suffer from
stomach troubles, especially liberation,
should carefully avoid high temper
atures. Children especially should be
guarded against this dangerous habit.
For nursing infants nature has clearly
indicated the proper temperature.
Mothers milk is at 100. degrees Fahren-
hcit, therefore all artificial food should
be at that point. These experiments
and the practical points deducted from
them are of the greatest va a hygien.
ically, and should be needed. d.--American
