Senator Ryors can hold the seat un'

county residing within sight of the old
capitol building, was compelled to 90

take his seat in the house. He arrived
to-day very much fatigued, and
waved his handkerchief TO his family
from capitol hill to notify them OF his
safe arrival.
This calls for the removal of the
capital to Seialia ifnothing else.

The Worm in the Chestnut.

A Pittsburg physician explains how the
worm gets into the chestnut. When the
nut is still green an insect comes along,
and hunting a warm place in which to
have it's eggs Matched lights upon the
green chestnut and stings it. At the same
time it deposits some OF its eggs in the
opening thus made. The chestnut begins
to ripen and at the same time the eggs are
Matching. The insect selects chestnuts as
place for depositing it's eggs as being the
best adapted place by instinct. The fioury
matter in the nut turns to sugar, and
sugar contains carbon, which produces
heat.-New York Tribune.

WAS HE EVER MARRIED
MRS. PHELPS SERIOUS CHARGES
AGAINST HER HUSBAND.
The Story as Told by Detective Law
son, Who, with Sheriff Cline,
Hes Investigated the
Case.

Mrs. Ada Phelps was married to
Henry Phelps in Butte, Montana in
1890. At the time Phelps was well-to-
do in the matter of worldly affairs, and
soon after the marriage came to Los
Angeles, and thence to Pasadena where
they lived with Phelps mother and STEP
father. Within q few months Phelps
was reported to be among the "myster-
ious disappearances" and foul play was
suspected. His wife soon became a
mother. After vainly awaiting for his
return she appealed to relative and
through him Sheriff Cline became in.
terested, and he and A. B. Lawson, OF
the Stilwell-Lawson agency, began to
investigate.
1t was soon learned by the officer, MIR.
Lawson states, that Phelps, previous to
going to Montana had lived In Kansas,
that he had wife there whom he bad
deserted, and from whom he had not
been divorced. Consequently in marry
ing the second time they state that he
had committed bigamy.
These facts were told the Los Angeles
wife after che had given birth to a girl

tain from the father and mother OF
Phelps why this deception was prac-
ticed, they would neither deny or affirm
the former marriage Of their son, but. she
states, ordered her out of their house.
Finally, one night the mother and
child were put out of the house, and
took refuge with a neighboring family.
After long search Phelps was located
in Helena, Montana, by Sheriff Cline
and Detective Lawson. The Los Angeles
wife wrote to PhelpB, but received no
answers.
The case is very sad one. The un-
fortunate woman and her relatives have
expended all of their money in tracking
Phelps. The young mother refuses to
part with her little baby girl, and has
taken a position near Downey 30 that
she can provide for herself and little
one.
Phelps can be prosecuted only in
Montana, where the marriage took
place, and as soon as SIZE is able to do
