TOWN OF WINGO
WIPED OFF MAP,
$4,000 Fire Destroys Entire Bust
ness District.


The little city Of Wingo. KY, a town
Of !, 500 population, twelve miles east Of
here, was almost completely destroyed
by fire in the early hours Of Wednesday
morning The fire, Of unknown origin,
broke out ID the rear Of the D. H.
Slaughter Dry Goods Store, about 1890,
and was burning tiercely when first dis
covered. The alarm was quickly given,
bat II was seen from the first that the
town was doomed.
The dry goods and clothing store of
w. d. Jackson, the first building to the
north OF d. H. Slaughter Dry Goods
Company, was soon in flames. From
this the fire spread north and south
from the two burning buildings until
the whole block was roaring furnace.
The water supply, though quite good for
the size Of the town, was no match for
the terrific fire. Thesupply comes from
an underground tank, the air-pressure
system, and is owned by private parties.
The pumping station is situated in the
lumber yard Of Dodson & Company,
which was soon in flames, thus the
small water supply that might have
been available was cut off. The loss is
estimated at $4,000, with about one
half insurance. The heaviest losers are
the Wingo Lumber Co. and ID. II.
Slaughter Dry Goods & Clothing Co.
The books and money in the Bank OF
Wingo are thought to be safe. The
entire burned area, except the Tort
House. the Crosse boarding house, post
office and lumber yard, is solid brick
block, we'll built, and some of it is
new. The following firms
were completely burned out:
e. ID. Mullins & Co., drug store; A. |

MENT NOT SEEN.

On Monday night at the parish line
OF Jefferson parish, the Tango Cafe.
located in Teche street, Just across the

the fire to its original source and save
other property. The McDonoghville
Fire Department had not made its ap-
pearance up to the time the Algiers De-

hinted around that someone forgot to
wake up the department.; however, we
did the brotherly thing and while they
slept We put out their fire.
The Tango Cafe is owned by Fink
Brothers and the loss is estimated at
about two thousand dollars. The
cause of the fire is unknown.

4 PAPER CLIPPING FROM GER.

In &72 \. D.. there came from Asia
into Europe a barbarian people called
Huns.
Recently Miss Hanna Meyer recelV'
ed the following paper clipping:
Who Are the Huns?
When the German troops withdrew
from near Paris to the Aisne, the chlef
pbvsician of a German hospital con-
tanning 500 seriously wounded soldiers
of which 25O we're French, had to be
abandoned by the Germans to fall into
the hands of the French. AS the
French advanced they disregarded the
Red Cross. shot into the hospital, kill
ing 30 of their own soldiers. When
this fiendish work had started the chief
iphvsician carried the wounded soldiers
into a ditch to protect them from the
French bullets, then grabbed the hos
pital bag, ran to trench calling "CroiX
rouge" A French lieutenant grabbed
him. saying, Every German ofhcer
claims 10 be a sanitary officer" other
officers came. He showed them his
wounded soldiers and those they had
killed. Soon a company of infantry
had reached the place. When the SOL
diers saw the wounded German SOL
diers they rushed at them, tore from
OH ChnnG WQtHhpS-
rings, etc. This chief physician was
hit and kicked and roughly treated.
He was then led away by squad OF
soldiers. The wounded German troop
that could drag themselves had 10
walk the many miles. The others
were put roughly into carts and carted
to the place designated for them. Peo-
ple at the roadside threw stones at the
wounded; the people acted like brutes.
A woman bit the doctor. The wound
ed received neither water nor medi-
cine, but had to sleep in the ditch.
Many died. Near Paris they were put
on cattle cars. Here they received wa
ter and mildewed bread. Bye and bye
they were brought into quarters. They
we're placed on the stone floor with
even no straw to lie on. No one was
sent to help the doctor with the wound
ed. Day after day they had to lie in
the filth. Soon disease broke out and
many died and so were reliefed of their
suffering. Other prisoners Jared just
as bad and worse. And the French are
civilized? and Christianized? Their
treatment of the German wounded
show plainly who the descendants of
the Huns are.

The average yield of wheat in the

that the soil and climate of Europe are
better adapted to wheat growing than
those Of the United States? Not at
all. It proves only that careful farm

produce better results than careless
farming here, says Chicago Journal.
