Lieutenant Governor FRANK Is. weeks
of Connecticut, now in the public eye
due to the serious illness of Governor
I.illey of that state. Mr. Weeks was
born in Brooklyn, N. Y, in 1854, and
his very early education was received
at a private school in that city, in 1867.
However with his parents, Daniel l..
and Francis M. (Edwards) Weeks, he
moved to MiddletoWn, thereupon en-
tering the Middletown high school At
ter graduating from there he entered
a college preparatory school at Pough-
keepsie, N. Y, and after returning to
Middletown in. 1874, During the year
the state was spending large sums OF
money on the Connecticut hospital for
the insane at Middletown), he was re-
ouested by the trustees to accept an
appointment as an assistant to the su-
perintendent in the business manage
ment of the institution. After six years
service in this capacity he resigned to
associate himself with George A. Coles
in the wholesale grain and milling
business under the firm name of Coles

While endeavOring to get into the
house of G. G. Gose, Fern avenue last
night about 10 o'clock, Ernest Sells,
a resident of that portion of the city,
was nabbed by Deputy County Clerk
Bert LaDue and is now awaiting trial
in the city Jail.
Being disturbed by a pounding on
her door, Mrs Gose who was alone in
the house with her children, opened 1t
and found Sells in an intoxicated con-
dition asking for permission to come liz
out of the cold. From his appearance
he had been sleeping in the road and
being awakened by the cold had made
a break for the first house in sight
Mrs. Gose Immediately telephOned to
the plucky Bert, neighbor, who gall
lantly rushed to her assistance and
without any preliminaries marched his
captive to the car tracks where po-
liceman. who had been previously in
formed, met them.
With becoming modesty the deputy
told the story of the capture but boot

CHINESE HUSBAND
CH0KES HIS WIFE
So Says Mother of the Bride and So
Say Appearances of Newly Mar
ried Young Lady, Whose
Face Is Bandaged.

Because she went to the carnival last
night with her cousin and drove her
husband frantic with jealousy, Bessie
Leo, nee Under, who married Frank
Leo. Chinaman, in this city last
February, is said to be the possessor
of very sore head and shiny eye.
Although predictions were rife at
the time of this marriage as to the
probable outcome of it, it seems that
welded life has been running in smooth
channels until the young wife decided
to go to the carnival in different COM
pany. This apparently caused the Ce-
lestial to forget his solemn marriage
vows and acting the way his forbears
are accustomed to, he choked and beat
his erst while bride in a brutal man
ner. Rushing from the house, on West
Main street and screaming at the top
of her voice, the entire neighborhood
was aroused. but upon learning that it
was nothing more startling than
family quarrel left the participants to
fight it out among themselves.
When interviewed by newspaper men
this morning, Mrs. Leo appeared at the
door with her head swathed in band
ages, but seemed in no wise depressed
by this fact. In gay voice she as
sured the "butters-in" that it was only
little tragedy and that she had run
up Main street because she felt the
need of some light exercise before
retiring. Interspersed by remarks from
the mother of the girl, Mrs. Sarah c.
Lamb, the story was finally drawn out
although in direct opposition to the
stern father who remained in a rear
room occasionally saying. "Shut the
door in their faces-they're only re-
porters'
Besides striking her daughter Mrs
Lamb assured the reporters that me
had choked her with both hands until
she was red in the face" and judging
from appearances he had gone one bet
ter and had done an artistic job with a
club or a chair
1t seems that Leo has been the one
main prop of the entire Lamb faml-
ly since his marriage and his side or
the story offers him a good excuse Tor
taking an occasional shot at the re-
spective members. Besides paying Their
rent. furnishing the meals and clothing
his young wife in luxuriant fashion,
he has treated her in worthy manner
from the beginning. Being tired OF all
this he took matters in his own HANDS
last night and in order to teach her
obedience, gave her a lesson.

PURPOSE LAUDAbLE
BUT WRONG BACKER
Physicians Will Have Nothing to Do
With New Tubercuiar Camp
Say They Cannot Respect Its
Originator.

Although no definite action has been
taken in the matter and probably Will
not be, it has been assured that the
local fraternity of physicians will have
nothing in common with the new tu-
bercular colony that is soon to be es-
tablished by Or. J. Ellery F'ales.
1t is the intention of DR.. Fales to
open this resort about the middle or
May for the treatment of only special
cases. and with the aid of expert help
and sanitary conditions, expects to
accomplish complete cures in three
months time.
Several of the local physicians be-
ing interviewed this morning stated
that the purpose was laudable one,
but further than that said that they
would have nothing to do with it,

common with Dr. Fales," said proml-
nent member of the fraternity this

With the order contained in one of
the ordinances, authorizing the CITY en-
glneer to remove those hitching racks
now in the business district. the far
mers say they would be prevented
from hitching on any of the business
streets for any length of time whatever.
and are up in arms over the probable
Ily OF nnal passage of the measures.
IF we cannot receive at least cour-
teous consideration in Walla Walla,'
said one of the extensive valley farm
ers this morning, 1--WE can. by travel
ing few miles farther, do our trad
ing at some other point, and then you
can pass any kind of an ordinance you
desire. think some one will find cause
for complaint when practically all of
the big business from the farmers is
withdrawn, and the city will then be
able to take on an appearance that will
please those fastidious residents to
whom the sight of farm team is OBJ
noxious, and the sight of a pair of over
alls and jumper positively shocking
Let them pass the ordinance if they
want that kind of a town, but there will
be still another chapter to the tale
Going Too Far
81 believe the council might place
some regulation upon the hitching of
teams in the business district" said
H. H Mclean, one of the officers of
the Farmers Educational & Coopera-
tive union, this morning, ''but in nam
ing so large a district I believe they
have gone a little too far. 1t would
seem all right for teams to be kept
from the streets in the neighborhood
of the fire station, but when action--is
taken to keep farmers from using any
of the business streets, that is going
too far. Several of the farmers have
spoken to me about it, and requesting
| that the Farmers union take some &C
! ton We will not meet until a week
! from tomorrow, but, it is probable that
the question will be brought up at that
time The organization is a strong
one, and in good condition to secure
what it goes after

The ordinance providing for the re-
moval of hitching racks in the bust
ness district, gives permission to USE
