WATERMELON CROP
Of South Kansas the Greatest
Ever Known.
SHIPMENTS NORTH, WEST
Nine Loads in Line Came Up
Douglas Yesterday.

Along with the greatest corn crop in
Sedgwick county's history 1t has the big
est crop Of big watermelons ever known
here. More than car load a day are
brought in to Wichita six days In the
week. Yesterday morning at six o'clock
nine wagon-loads of melons in line came
up Douglas avenue in one bunch and
singing out the various grocery stores
located to wait for the stores to open.
Probably dozen other loads were in the
city coming by other streets. The wagons
Of melons look like big supply train of
an army coming into thecity. The ship
ments from Wichita are the largest ever
known. They are sent TO st. Joe, Omaha,
Denver and to all the important towns
north and west There are no large melon
fields. The crop is raised from small
patches which yield immensely. Two car
loads have been shipped to ST. Joe alone
off an acre patch near Haysville. Mr.. J..
T. Martin, nine miles south on Law
reace avenue has sold seven hundred big
melons off a patch only three quarters
of an acre in extent. Most of the patches
are only about n quarter to half acre
in extent and the yield is something sur
prising. Georgiain>the most famous days
of its melon monarchy never produced
a big juicy "Iron-clad" or Queen" that
out-rivaled the crop of Sedgwick county
this year. On the streets here any day
q forty-pound melon can be bought for
a nickel and a sixty or seventy-ive pound
variety for ten cents. One Of them would
make as much as a dozen men could eat
without going to the second starting of
the red. The melon is juicy tender and
luscious.
The earlier ones brought in were dis
appointment. being tastless and "gourdy''
but the later melon dissolve on the Palate
like sugared snow-flakes. Everybody eats
watermelons this year and when cool ard
tender and fully ripe they 'nvigor:lte the
whole body and bring a sure ease from
the helpless misery Of the heart.

account for the time since his escape up
to the time he was arrested few weeks
ago. have not allowed any outside In
reference in the collection OF evidence,
but have travelled through the country
evidence myself.
THE case has been strengthened great
ly instead Of weakened by time. When
Jester was first arrested people were
slow to appear against him, and many
who had information were unwilling to
be witnesses. The difficulty has been
largely removed. It was reported that
Jester had disappeared In the territory.
and there was a report that he had been
killed down there. These reports hal
the effect Of ioosening the tongues Of
people. and they told ali they knaw. Now
that he is again in the clutches Of the
law. all OF this evidence Is obtaanable.
For example, at the time of the previous
arrest there was but one witness to TIE
blood in the road, and that witness was
a negro. Now we have the matter es-
tablished beyond peradventure. 1t de-
velops that Immediately after the muir
der Jester made detour from the road
and took to the woods for two miles.
This would appear to be against us In
tracing him. but, as a matter of fact, 1t
helps US. You see, in the early time
people settled along streams of water
and not on the roads at first. We have
established that by making the detour In
the woods and leaving the road he pass
ed five farm houses. while. If he had
kept to the road he would have passed
but two and no suspicion would have
been aroused. We think that we have a
very complete case against him. Many
people think that we have been slow, but
we have been thorough. It is not true
that Jester Is a feeble old man. He is
70 years old, but he is hale and hearty,
and the confinement has not hurt him
apparently. He will be sent to trial as
soon as the case can be sifted out"

which promises to surpass anything
of the kind eve seen in the West.
The principal buildings have been
changed but little except to improve
here and there, and to brighten up n
add a few finishing touches to exter-
Tors. More important changes have
been made in the landscape gardening.
The general plan followed last year
has not been changed but it has been
added to and vastly improved. About
the Court Of Honor sections OF the
brick walks have been removed n q
number of small gardens relieve the
eye and increase the pleasing effect OF
the whole. Tropical plants and flow
ers will give a brilliant touch OF color
to the scene and supply the necessary
contrast to the white and stately
buildings and the reaches Of green
sward. In the center of the court the
clear waters of the lagoon give back
to view the fairy picture, while the
fountain flashes in the sunlight and
gaily decorated water-craft glide here
and there.

the grounds nearly 3 months now,

department. During May he had
than one hundred men employed, and
in June that number was more tina
doubled, Is several carloads OF trees,
plants, and shrubbery from California,
Florida, Louisiana, and Hawaii, are
now arriving. and MANY men will be
needed to take care of this stuff and
