Since the murder of Miss Kreglo Monday
afternoon strange colored men in the coun-
ty have been looked upon with suspicion
and in some neighborhoods the people have
been alarmed and have kept their doors
closed for fear the murderer would make

Monday. A number of strange colored
men have been seen lettering about the rail-
read tracks. and yesterday Policeman Dyer
found four such individuals about the Ben
ring freight yard. They had attracted at
tention and aroused suspicion, and the
citizens had been forced to make complaint
against them.

Fine Oats Grown.

We were shown last week a bundle
of oats which would do credit to any
farming State in the Union. They
were grown by Mr.. R. w. Ridgedill on
his farm twelve miles west of Barlow,
from ordinary pine land without ferti-
lizing. They were fully four feet high,
with full heads and large grain, and
stalks large and strong.
Mr.. Ridgedill has demonstrated that
oats can be grown successfully and this
together with the many other forage
crops which can be made here ought to
preclude the necessity to buying stock
food in this county.-Bartow Courier.

Another Frost Experiment.

The San Bernardino (Cal.) Sun says
that F. @. Finkle is in receipt Of letter
from Ventura county which is the first
practical demonstration of the success
of mis- plan for the prevention of frost
damage to orchards.
A prominent orchardist of that place
who has been interested in the process
devised by Mr.. Finkle had occasion to
use it short time ago. In his letter he
stated that frost had been predicted
and although he did not have at his
command the complete apparatus pro-
posed by Mr.. Finkle, consisting of water
watts and firing apparatus, he adopted
crude means of raising fog, it consisted
of the piling at frequent intervals Of wet
straw and underneath layer of brush.
During the entire night, which proved
to be cold one, the damp straw was
constantly replenished. A heavy fog
was produced over the entire orchard,
which lowered at q distance of about
twenty-five feet above the surface of the
earth. 1t did not clear away until nearly
ten o'clock IN the forenoon of the follow
ing day, when it was discovered that
not bud nor blossom in the entire or
chard was injured. Other groves in the
vicinity where no precautions had been
adopted were badly frosted, giving sut
ficinnt Yr0of Of the nf1cocv IF Mr. FIN
kle's plan.

Electricity Vegetation.

Some curious experiments have lately
been performed with view to discov-
ering the effect Of electric light on vege-
tation. It has been found that con-
tinuous electric light promotes the for
nation of chlorophyll, which is the
green essence of plants, occupying much
the same relative position with regard
to vegetable life that blood does in an
imal life. The stru ctures of the leaves
also changes, the veins becoming
straighter and less numerous.
Under a continuous electric light the
distribution of the chlorophyll is more
extended than under the influence of or
binary sunlight. The bark is less devel-
oped and the tissue of the stem assumes
a totally different appearance. When
the electric light is dlscontinued-as,
for example, when turned on twelve
hours out Of the twenty four-the effect
on vegetation is intermediate between
that of normal sunlight and that of con-
tinuous electric light. Alpine plants
cultivated under continuous electric
light look very much like arctic plants,
which are exposed to almost continuous
sunlight in the summer.
The cause of these changes is not
known. 1t has only been determined
that the changes do occur. The opinion
is now generally entertained among
scientific men that electricity is highly
beneficial to vegeta ble life, and that the
employment of electricity will be rlost
important factor in the agriculture Of
the future.-Ex.

thoroughly rotted, and then | prefer it
composted with some milder manure.
Some melon growers fertilize much more
heavily than do, and by so doing may
get their melons into market a few days
earlier, but the cost is very heavy.
When all danger of cold is passed, thin
out to one vine in hill. Cultivate
deeply at first with culivator Or shovel
pillow. When vines get about two feet
long, pillow very shallow with cultivator,
or sweep pillow is preferable. Plow as
long aud as often as you can, but never,
under any circumstances, turn or dis
turb the vines after they begin to run.

LARGEST California Lemon Orchard.

The largest, lemon orchard in Cali
fornia SO far as known owned by one in
divinual is the Cerreto Ranch, located
three miles and half southeast of
South Riverside. This land is the
property of R. B. Taylor, president of
the Citizens Bank of South Riverside,
Cal. Mr.. Taylor's Investigations led
him to believe that the most profitable
crop he could produce from the Cerreto
would be lemons, so he vigorously set to
work, and his ranch is now planted out
to the following fruits: IL 900 Lisbon
lemons, 900 Eureka lemons, $50 English
soft-shell walnuts, 100 Texas pecans,
so Japan chestnuts, 400 blue gums on
the outside boundary lines, $50 fan palm
and 800 pepper trees in the driyeways,
400 loquats, pears, apples and other
deciduous fruit trees, 600 orange trees,
and many other varieties of tropical
trees, such as the black pepper, cinnamon,
etc., besides many rose trees and flower
ing plants. Mr.. Taylor has altogether
planted and growing upon his 116 acres
about $4,000 trees, almout two-thirds
of which are lemons.-N. Y. Fruit Trade

Death of Winthrop Young.-W;

Death of Winthrop Young Win
throp Young, a prominent banker and
business man of Minneapolis Mimi,
died suddenly at his home in that CITY
Friday, July 10. Mr.. Young had been in
his usual health and Thursday went
driving alone, returning in fine spirits.
About 3 a. m. Friday morning his wife
was awakened by his heavy breathing
and IN short time he had passed away
IN spite of all that human aid could do.
Winthrop Young was born in Water
ford, VT, Sept. IS, 1917. He was well
educated and entered upon a business
career early in life, going to Minnesota
IN the days when the country was a will
derness and Indians plentiful At the
beginning OF the war in 1861 he was a
resident of St. Anthony, engaged in the
banking business.
In the civic and commercial interests Of
the city Mr.. Young was especially iden-
tined. All questions of interest to the
people among whom he lived were care
fully considered by him, and when it was
in his power to further and promote the
interests of the city, he did so. Mr.
Young served for one term, 1868 &c
mayor OF the city of St. ANTHONY. and
when st. Anthony became part of Min
neapolls he was a member of the board
OF education. This was from 1879 +o
1880.

march, two of the ushers stretched the
ribbons which formed the aisle from the
chance to the door and then led the
bridal procession.
At the chancel the groom, attended by
his brother Mr.. Clarence M. Merriam,
as best man, was waiting, having entered
from the vestry.
At the chance steps the charge was
given, and then the party, consisting OF
bride and groom, maid of honor and best
man, and the brides father. advanced
to the altar rail, where Dean II. |. Bodley
pronounced the full ring service of the
Episcopal church.
During the ceremony Mr.. W. +. Roehr
played softly some beautiful improvisa-
tons. He played Mendelssohns we'd
ding march as the bridal party left the
church.
The bride looked more than usually
charming in a superb gown of
cream white brocaded satin, the skirt en-
train; the bodice was made short coat
fashion, with the skirt OVERLAPPING a fine
accordian plating of mouSsene de sole.
The same fine material embroidered in
honiton formed a pointed yoke effect,
edged about the shoulders with accor-
dion plating and finished about the neck
with a stock of white ribbon. The
broad turned back cuffs were also
trimmed with hoiton. She wore no or

valley which caught her veil IN her high
co ffure, and her bouquet was Of brides

hair ferns.
About two hundred guests attended
the reception of Mr. and Mrs. Bradley
on Tyler street. The rooms were decked
in asparagus ferns and pink roses, and
the Alhambra Mandolin club furnished
music. Mr.. and Mrs. Bradley and Mr..
and Mrs Merriam greeted the guests and
the bride and groom received under a
bower of palms and asparagus.
In long tent in the yard refreshments
were served. The tent was decorated
with green and white cheese cloth and
also with asparagus.
Above stairs numerous beautiful and
elegant presents attested the high es-
teen and love OF the young couples
friends. After the evenings festivities
they went directly to coy ready fur
nished home which Mr.. Merriam had
ready for his bride at 1925 Fillmore
street. Instead of coming down the
front stairs and Drawing the shower of
rice ready there, they left the house by
the side entrance and almost evaded the |
alert ushers by entering carriage there
instead of in front of the house. But the
ruse was a failure as the ushers saw
them in time to reach them with the rice
before the carriage was driven away.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Merriam are well
and favorably known in Topeka.
Miss Bradley has lived here from child
hood and is an accomplished sweet
cultured young woman. She
was educated at Bethany, is a member
Of Grace Methodist Episcopal church, OF
the chancel chapter Of that church, of
the Pansy club and of the Philharmonic

worth. He has been a member of the
lrm of T. E. Bowman & Co. for nearly
.hree years. He has lived here for eight
1ears and was educated at Washburn
