S. Gov't Report How about PWE KNTKUMUSi: NEWS, Those Large 9 I Weeklies you Nothing? The tragic ending of Paul Langlois, at Ilunnewell la not without ita romance. It was not generally known at Ilunnewell that he was a married man, but he was. lie mnrrlcl a Wichita girl, and she lived with him live days. The story told of the affair is as follows: 'I kuew Langlois well.

A few years ago he lived here, and fell In love with a very attractive and modest girl, named Hoover, and was determined to win her in marriage. She, in turn, was In love with, and engaged to, another young man, and Langlois seemed to have a thorny path to her affections This Miss Hoover's father, it is said, had a good deal of property, which was largely eucumberd, and the prospects were that he would lose it all. Langlois kuew of his tlnmicial straits, and he determined to win the hand of his daughter, if not her heart, by this means, lie accordingly became acquainted with Mr. Hoover more inti mately, and with his French cunning, contrived to create the impression tbat he was wealthy, and could, as a son-in law, give relief. The girl, having i strong affection fur her father, con sidered it her duty to make a noble sacrifice, and, wiih regrets, consented to become the wife of Langlois.

They were married in due form, went to Hutchinson, where they remaini live days, and then Langlois told her how he deceived her. lie said that he was desperately in love with her, was determined to have her in marriage and to gain that end, resorted to the decep tion referred to. She immediately left him and returned to ber father's home where she still lives. mad up her mind never to live with him, and, as she had no legal grounds to secure divorce she never asked for one. Death brought the divorce, but notwith standing the manner in which he deceived her, she still considered him her husband, and when he was killed she went to Hunnewellto perform the last offices of a wife.

It was quite sad incident, and Miss Hoover always had the respect of the people who knew it, for she certainly had no selflsh, sor- bid motives in the marriage; she did it strictly in the interest of her father. Wichita The New Fire Alarm System. The new system of lire signal as adopted at a recent meeting of the city council is as follows: The city is divided into eight fire wards. It is divided into quarters, first by Main and Sherman, and again into eighths, by Adams and Maple. These streets being the boundaries of the.

wards. In the northwest between Main and Adams is ward one; west of Adams ward five. In the northeast between Main and Maple is ward two, east of Maple ward six. In the southeast between Main and Maple ward four; east of Maple ward eight. In the southwest between Main and Adams ward three; west of Adams ward seven.

This brings the smallest figures in the business part of the city, even numbers on the east, odd numbers on the west of Main. In addition to the ward, the numbers of the street is to be given, litters counting as numbers, A being one, two, etc. When an alarm is given, the person sending it should give central the ward, the street, and if possible the house number, the latter, for the benefit of the fire department. The number of the ward and street is to be conveyed to the waterworks, when the whistle will inform the public in this manner: First the usual alarm, next the ward; a pause, then the street. For instance, a fire in the block con taining the Interior IIeeald office would be ward two, street two.sounded in this way (the alarm), (ward), (street).

Santa Fehotel would be, being alarm, first ward, Third street. People are requested to learn the ward in which they live, and all persons should keep a diagram of the wards posted conveniently near. Malpractice, We are informed of some cases of malpractice in dentistry which have recently occurred here, and we are at a loss to know which to condemn most severely, the foolishness of those who will persist in running after every traveling humbug or rascality of the one who perpetrates the fraud. One lof those traveling dentists who advertise to extract teeth without pain! located recently in the northwest part of the city and flooded the city with handbills. Crowds Hocked to his rooms and paid him more than established dentists would of charged, had some anesthetic injected into their gums and their teeth taken out.

Much of his work was done in a bungling manner, a3 many persons now with broken fang3 in their mouth can testify. Now tin doctors are having numerous cases of abscess of the jaw to treat from the effects of the stuff injected. The dentist skipped on Wednesday. Should he return he ought to have a feathery plaster and a free ride, and neighboring towns ought to give him a vigorous bouncing. Moral: Patronize reliable home institutions.

Saturday, Harch 17, 1S94, will be a day long to be remembered by the music loving citizens of Hutchinson, for on that day, Hemeuyi, the great violinist, will be here and appear in one of his concerts at the opera house.

Seats will be on sale at ten ociock on Monday morning previous to the concert, at the opera house book store. Cauglit a Burglar. Dr. i. li.
