But MoIineux is Silent as to Her In,
tentions.
New York, Nox. 1S.-A dispatch
from Sioux Falls yesterday an
nouncing Mrs. Roland B. Molineux's
arrival there to take up her residence
was shown General MOIineux and he
was asked if his daughter-in-law in
tended to get a divorce. Il have
nothing to say" said the general
Mrs. Molineuxs absence from court
during her husbands last trial re-
vived rumors of family differences,
but she went to the Molineux resi-
dence in Brooklyn a few hours after
her husband was acquitted and re-
manned until the next morning when
she returned to New York where she
had been staying. She was there an
hour or two and then disappeared.
EX-Judge Olcott, of Molineux's coun-
sci, said the news from Sioux Falls
was a surprise to him, because the
differences between Mrs Molfneux
and her mOther-in-law had been
settled and the family relations so far
as he knew, were amicable. The
general paid his sons wife's expenses
all the while his son was in prison
and last week the general made a
public statement about his daughter
in-law in which he said: "She is as
good and pure a woman as breathes'
He said he had traced all the stories
concerning her and found they were
false.

Paris, Nov. 18.-Miss Gladys Deacon,
laughter of Edward Parker Deacon,
bought by many to be the handsomest
american girl in Europe, is paying an
.wful price for her attempt to gain a
1ure Grecian profile. At the point
where the nose joins the forehead
here was a small, scarcely noticeable
depression. An artist in an unlucky
moment told her of this and declared
hat it constituted the only flaw in an
otherwise faultless Grecian profile.
She visited a specialist, her nose
vas operated on, and necrosis, or
leath Of the bone, is the result. She
its day by day in her pretty room in
3iarritz wondering what the outcome
will be, wondering whether she shall
'egain the profile for which she was
}nce famous or whether she is doomed
@ a lifetime of ugliness through the
slow, relentless progress Of the
disease.
Equipped as few women are, with
beauty as a birthright, Miss Deacon
vas yet unsatisfied with the minute
depression in her nose. She decided
% undergo the ''paraffin treatment"
which meant to inject solidifying oils
into the tissues for cosmetic purposes.
DR.. Guernsey is one Of the most emf
nent surgeons Of Austria, and his prac-
tice has ordinarily nothing to do with
beautyculture DR. Guernsey, accord
ing to the medical reports, uses a mix
ture Of paraffin and vaseline; which is
injected beneath the epidermis at a
temperature Of 104 degrees for curing
physical defOrmities and filing cavi-
ties caused by the removal Of portions
of the bone. SO far as known, Dr..
Guernsey himself had never attempted
to make use Of his discovery in cor
recting facial defects.
Miss Deacon, instead of visiting Dr..
Guernsey, it is said, went to a physi-
clan in Paris, and had the "depres-
sion" at the bridge Of her nose built
up. 1t was not painful operation. 1t
amounted to little more than q pin
prick, and she went home delighted.
She watched the pIOg1 ess OF the
healing day by day with all the de-
lighted interest that only young
girl can take in improving her appear
ance But in a short time there came
q change that alarmed her. Sire sent
for a physician, who informed her
that she had necrosis Of the nose and
what necrosis meant.
Then the beautiful girl wept and her
friends wept with her. In her desper-
alton she sent for the worlds greatest
experts. Up to the present time they
have been unable to do anything for
her.
Necrosis is a progressive disease,
and unless promptly checked is usual
Iy fatal. Miss Deacon is using every
andeavOr to conquer it, and expresses
bitter regret that she ever thought an
alteration in her features necessary.

Water Offered To- Gas City

As, has been noted in the REGISTER,
f.. X. Taylor god-father of Gas City
has for some time been seeking prop
Osition from the cASy council to supply
water to Gas City. The proposal
desired was rate at which lola
will sell city water at the east end
of her present system, Gas City to lay
pipe line from there to their town
and pay for the water used.
Last week the cou Gil made this
proposition: To charge cents per
thousand gallons for the first $4,000
used, provided not less than 10000
gallons should be used a day, u cents
for the next 1000 and I cents for the
third SO, 900 gallons.
1t is estimated that $4,000 gallons a
dag will supply all the present needs
of Gas City, which means that it would
cost that town S4 day for her water
supply after the pipeline is laid. The
city could sell water to practically
every resident of the town for they
now depend wholly on cisterns,
Whether or not this proposition will
meet with the approval of the people
of Gas City is not known and the mat
ter will doubtless come up for early
consideration by their town council.
