Although offered for filing, the com
plant in the case of Ching Ping On
VS.. Art Tin, an action for divorce, has
been temporarily withdrawn. Under
the law a married woman must as
sumo the name of her husband in or
der to be entitled to recognition as a
wife. In the case mentioned this
seems to have been overlooked, as
the complaint in nowise, except by al
legation, shows that the couple were
ever married, as the name of the
plaintiff bears no resemblance what
ever to that of the defendant. In TX
PLANTATION of this seeming discrepancy
it is stated that according to Chinese
custom the takes the tribal
or communal name of her spouse.
such a thing as a distinguishing name
for each individual person being In
known in that land. This, however,
does not satisfy the law, it does not
tend to make the matter clear enough
to the court to enable it to render a
decision or take c~ognizance of the re-
lations existing between the contest
ing parties. A m plaintiff
who gives a surname different
from that of the defendant
in such an action cannot very
we'll be regarded as ever having
been married to the defendant in the
suit. and hence the difficulty pre-
ssented.
In addition to this discrepancy
there seem to have been other tech
nicalities involved which needed
Strengthening out and in order to com
ply with all it was deemed advisable
to withdraw the complaint until some
future time. 1t is expected that a
new complaint will be filed before
long and one conforming to the law
and court usuages, when the case, will
probably be permitted to go to trial.

Chinese Woman Asks Court to Give
Her Divorce.

Her DIVORCE.
From Saturdays Daily Gazette. 2
What is undoubtedly the first petit
ton for divorce ever filed in the state
in which botn the plaintiff and de-
PENDANT are Chinese was recorded by
Clerk of Court Will ans, yesterday
afternoon. Ching Ping On is the pc
titioner and Art Tin the respondent,
while Attorney Allen appears for the
plaintiff. Although the name Of the
plaintiff might cause the average
Caucasian to infer t:,at it stood for
one of the sterner sc :, it happens to
be that of the oma in the case.
In her complaint Ching Ping On
alleges that she anC the defendant
were duly married at Chelsea, Mass,
September s, 1899, aud in support of
this part of her allegations has a
marriage certificate made out in due
and regular form. Continuing she
AYERS that ever since their marriage
defendant Tin has refused to contri-
butte tt her maintenance and support
and has steadfastly declined and re-
fused to work, although physically
able to do so, and that by reason of
his negligence in this respect she has
been compelled to earn her own iiv-
ing and is now earning it. She also
makes the ugly charge against her
spouse that when she asked him to
go to work he told her that he did not
intend to- demean himself by such
conduct and that he had married her
for the purpose of supporting him.
In conclusion she AYERS that there
are no children as a result OF the UNI
fortunate union and asks the court
for the right to resume her "Ameri-
can maiden NAME" Annie Lewis.
An affidavit accompanies the petit
ton setting forth that the plaintiff
is without means and asks for an or
der of court to permit her to conduct
the case without cost to herself.
Mr.. Allen says that his client is
a native of San Francisco and de-
scfibes her as being possessed of far
more than the usuel amount of in
telligence which marks the women
of her race as familiar to the people
of this country. He also gives her a
good character for industry and gen
eral department.

BUG THEIR RELIEF.
interesting Discovery in Connection
With Loco Weed.


With Loco Weed.
Anything pertaining to poisonous
weeds and the remedies best to be
applied in case stock is found to
have fed on any of them is a matter J
that always interests stockmen Of the
west. Consequently when it is sug-
gested that a possible means may
have been found Of eradicating
of the most dangerous Of all poison
GUS weeds from the ranges, namely
the loco weed, interest grows proper
tionately. Yet it seems that such a
possibility is likely soon to be an
actually.
According to a statement issued by
Professor e. M. Wilcox, botanist and
entomologist of the Oklahoma exper-
iment station, located at Saltwater,
in that territory, he seems to think
he is following a series of expert
ments that promise some wonderful
and highly valuable results. In his
statement, which he addresses to
stockmen, the professor says he has
undertaken an investigation of the
loco weed, which is causing immense
damage to the herds in that territory.
He has discovered a beetle which
feeds on the weed and causes it to die,
| a fact, he says, that is responsible for
the occasional disappearance of the
weed in certain localities for a period
of years. This beetle deposits it's
egs on the stems of the weed and as
the larva is Matched it burrows into
the roots of the weed to a depth of a
few inches below the soil and then
upwards into the stems for a distance
of two or three inches. This kills the
plant and roots as well. Unfortunate
ly the professor has as yet not been
able to establish the identity of this
beetle, but hopes to be able to do SO.
A single root, he says, will sometimes
contain as many as six or eight Of
the larvae and as a result the destruc-
ton of the plant is both rapid and
complete. Continuing his statement
he says:
81 have not as yet determined where
or in what condition this beetle hiber-
mates since at this period the. pupae
have not beef formed. 1t is not yet
absolutely determined why these
beetles make their appearance in
such numbers during certain springs
as to effectually destroy the loco
plants for that year. The suggestion
has been made by ex-senator Marum
that the unusual prevalence of ants
during certain years tends to destroy
many of the beetle larvae and thus
allow the normal growth of the loco
plants. The writer has himself oh
served these ants killing the larvae
above mentioned and perhaps this
theory will be supported by all the
facts in the ase when secured
Naturally, climatic conditions may in
auence the development of, and de
termine the relative abundance of the
ants in any M year. But as yet the
whole matter is in the condition of
suggestion and further studies are
necessary to establish them as facts
The possible relation between the
loco eating habit and abortion in cat
tie deserves immediate attention.
The experiment station at Still
water has undertaken to investigate
all phases of this loco matter, and t.
that end invites the cooperation O.

SOME MISTAKES CORRECTED.
Gen. Macarthur Answers Ale satiens
Concerning the Social EVIL
in Manila.

Washington. May s.-Gen. MacAr-
thur, as governor of the Philippine
islands, has reported to the adjutant
general of the army concerning ale
cations made against the authorities
in Manila relative to the social evil
which exists in that city. Gen. Mac
Arthur says the writers of letters
which he received have been misled,
and have an imperfect knowledge of
the conditions. He declares that pros
titution is not licensed in the Philip
pines and that prostitutes are not al
lowed to land in Manila, unless they
have secured previous resident rights.
The police regulations of the social
evil are such as to check the spread
of disease something that is found
necessary in that tropical climate.
Gen. Macarthur says, also, that Ma
Mia can challenge a comparison to its
morals or orderly condition with any
city in the United States. The gen
eral suggests that committee con-
sisting of those who make the allie
cations against the government be
sent to that city to make an inyesti-
cation, but adds that such a com
mittee first should acquaint them
selves with social conditions in trop-
zeal countries.
