A ROMANTIC CASE.
A Wichita Eagle Reporter Interviews
Samuel Hartley and Bride at the
Wichita Hospital.

AC w tSiilo LdSlc U OSptSnOSI ZOtn
has the following bit Of romance con-
ceming Samuel Hartley and bride Of
this county, whose marriage was noted
IN these columns some weeks ago:
That romance is not entirely a thing
Of the past was proven yesterday when
reporter for the Eagle called upon
Samuel Hartley at the Wichita Hospital.
When the reporter reached Mr..
Hartley's room he was met by slender,
blue-eyed young woman with auburn
hair. The reporter was surprised to note
that she did not wear the disinc ctive
dress Of the nurses Of the institution, but
when the reporter introduced himself she
blushed slightly and said that she was
Mrs. Hartley.
"Mr. Hartley was brought here a
week ago Tuesday by Dr.. BuckEn of
Sawyer, kas.. his home, to be operated
upon for appendicitis. On the same train
was also Miss Blanche Jesse, though none
Of her friends in Sawyer were aware
that she was coming to Wichita.
"On arrival here they proceeded at
once to the court house. where license
was secured and Mr.. Hartley and Miss
Jesse were married by Judge Kirk. The
newly united couple went at once to the
hospital, where the operation was per-
formed by Dr.. G. c. Purdue.
MIR. Hartley has been improving very
rapidly under the assiduous care Of his
bride, to whose cheering presence much
Of the progress he has made is attributed.
"Mr. and Mrs. Hartley were childhood
sweethearts, but were separated when
Mrs. Hartleys parents moved away
from Sawyer.
About year ago they returned to
Sawyer and the old affection was quick
ly renewed, and in short time the
young people became engaged. The
time Of their marriage was near when
MIR. Hartley was stricken with appendi-
cihs and his condition soon became such
that celief by operation was imperative.
On account Of the seriousness of his
condition he wished Miss Jesse to bear
his name should the outcome Of his
trouble be fatal.
Fearing parental opposition he and
Miss Jesse decided to combine the trip
to the hospital with an elopement and
the news Of the success Of the operation
was coupled with the marriage announce
ment when Dr.. Bucklin returned to Saw
yer after the patient was out Of danger.
The Eagle reporter is not married
man but he certainly was convinced that
it was very pleasant thing to be one as
he watched the look Of contentment that
illuminated the face Of Mr.. Hartley as
his wife busted herself in the gentle min
istrations so grateful to the invalid.
MIR. Hartley is young man Of TO-
bust constitution and it is expected that
he will be able to leave the hospital
early next week.
"As he held his wife's hand and look
ing into her eyes after shaking hands and
saying goodbye to the reporter, he was
the happiest looking sick man that tha,
individual has seen in many months.

T. A. McNeal makes an exhaustive
reply IN last weeks Mail and Breeze to
the pro-railroad edition of the Cresset of
Sept. 9Th. He covers practically all the
ground IN favor Of government ownership
and control Of railroads and his arguments
can not be refuted. Time was when
ii was unpopular to say that the govern

IN which the railroads serve the public
but people are more enlightened IN this

ten and hfteen years ago, against gov

Of their own inherent weakness and the
