PRETTY KUKo's PROMISES.
Three Men Had Them and Spent
Money for wedding Outfits.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Sept. 22.-Two very
angry young Poles called on Squire Pow
ell, Of Nanticoke, yesterday and had war-
rants issued for the arIestof kuklonka Ap-
polona, very pretty girl. who, althousa
Just sixteen, has done much damage to
mems hearts. Kuko. as she is called has
been in this Country Just three months and
has had three lovers.
She accepted the first, John Motiska,
two weeks ago. and he spent $50 in .uy-
Ing her ring and a wedding dress Mike
Grenskin proposed few days later and
was also accepted and he lavished 500 on
the fair kuko, after she had come to town
with him ndprocurcd a marriage license
For few days there was no develop
mcnis, Mctiska and Grenskin each being
ignorant of the others success But while
they were rejoicing in the prospect of i
speedy marriage Mike Bang. a good looking
young Hungarian, had spo ken words of love
i'll kukO's willing ear and she had said a
demure Yes aud ON Saturday came to
this city with him and got another license
Itwaspot until Sunday when Mike Eano and
Kuko were announced in the church that
Grenskin and Motiska compared notes.
Yesterday Squire Powell gave judgmen.

cases for Grens kin for SIOO md for Motiska

HER HEART OUT OF PLACE.
In Young Miss Fisher II Occupied the
Right Side.

New York, Sept. 22.-From 4 case in
the New York Hospital here, it seems
pretty well settled that person may be
born with the heart in the right side OF
the body and live to i ripe old age. TheIe
died in that hospital Sunday a young
woman of seventeen years-Miss Lou
Fisher, OF Walpole, \. H.-whose death
the doctors agree was not due to the
position of the heart in the right side
Of the body. She died Of inflammation
of the coating of the heart, but the posi-
ton of the organ had no connection that
the doctors could discover with the cause
of the patients death.
The case is, of course, interesting to
the medical fraternity, and, fortunately,
they were able to learn from the young
woman herself some valuable facts In
connection with this extraordinary case
There have been many cases in which the
position of the heart has been found after
death to be on the wrong side This has
been attributed usually to sCme severe
shock, or to pleurisy, in which the heart
is sometimes flushed oat of place. In such
cases the patient fingers for some time
and finally dies.
The extraordinary condition in the case
of Miss Fisher is that, so far as can be
found out, her heart has always been on
the right side, and its position has caused
her no inconvenience. The ph ysicians
think that but for the ordinary malady
from which she died, Miss Fisher might
have lived to very ripe old age The
only accident to which the doctors could
possibly attribute the displacement of
the vital organ was her being slightly
burned about year and half ago. since
which time er health had been very poor.
The doctors are investigating the case
further, and some interesting conclusions
are expected to follow
