of Mrs. Castle.
A CASE OF JEALOUSY.
Then Turns the Razor and
Slashes Herself.
Mrs. Castle a Bride of But a
Few Days.
Both Women High in Social Ell
Dorado Circles.

Ell Dorado, June 23.-The most horri-
BILE deed that has ever been committed
in the history of the town occurred Fri
day, about S:45, when Miss Jessie Nor
rison cut the throat of Mrs. 4Olin Castle,
with razor, completely severing the
wind pipe and mutilating her throat
horribly. The act was committed in
Mrs. Castles home on Merchant street,
one block north Of Central avenue The
motive is unknown but it is thought
the deed was done in the heat of jealous
passion. Mrs. Castle is a bride of only
rev days. Miss Morrison was former
Iy employed in the Racket, the place
where Mr.. Castle now has position
Never before has the town been so
worked up and excited.
Mrs. Castles recovery is extremely
doubtful. She has but one chance in a
hundred. After mutilating her Miss
Morrison turned the razor on herself but
did not infiict serious wounds.
Mrs. Emma Spangler who lives next
door to the Castle home was talking to
some visitors when she heard some one
scream. She thought it was a child at
first but the screams became SO pro-
nounced that she rushed to the front
screen door of the Castle home which
she found fastened. In passing the
north window of the house in going to
the back door she saw Mrs. Castle COW
cred with blood. The back door was
locked. Mrs. E. D. Mobberly who lives
across the street had heard the screams
and she too thought it was a child re-
ceiVing punishment, but had come out
on the walk opposite the house. Mrs.
Spangler called to her and she came
over and they burst in the front screen.
Mrs. Castle was on the floor in the
front room, lying near the couch which
was in the northwest corner of the room.
Miss Morrison was bending over her.
Mrs. Mobberly pulled her away. The
razor was lying under Mrs. Castle 1t
was black handled and very sharp. The
ladies started to take Miss Morrison
away. She said excitedly, "Oh, there is
letter. I want it. Let me go back
and get it. I must have that letter.
am going back after that letter.
must have it, Mrs. Spangler thinks it
may have been two or three minutes
from the time she first heard the
screams until she arrived on the scene.
AS she passed the window she saw Miss
Morrison bending over Mrs. Castle.

There Is Small Wheat Acreage But
a High Percentage.

Anthony, Kan, June 23.-Harper

crop in Kansas. There are only 95, $50
acres of wheat in the county, but it's
average yield viii be better than in any
other county in the state. F. D. Coburn,
secretary of agriculture, in his latest
report, gives the condition of wheat in
this county at III per cent, the highest
in the state.
George follower, a prominent citizen,
is worth $4,000 and owns beside $4,000
in government bonds-$25.0OO in all.
WELL" he said, in answer to queS-
tions, Il came here fifteen years ago
from Illinois and bought 100 acres of
land here for $3.50. had a little money
and paid part down on it, and when 1
started in to farm the first year I had

was 81, $50 in debt. I taught school the
first two winters was here to help me
out. l had to do it or starve. It was a
case of root hog or die
What have you now?"
'Well let's see. I own $50 acres of
land here; own $4,000 worth of govern
ment war bonds; have money loaned
out at interest; I have cash enough be-
sides to build me big house this fall,
and I don't owe a dollar in the world. -
How did you make it2'
fright here on the farm. I have this
year IFS acres in wheat that will yield
me from twenty-five to thirty bushels
to the acre; IT'S acres in as good corn
as you ever saw grow and 10 acres in
oats. That's the sort of crops I've been
raising here. feed from one to three
carloads of cattle every winter and in
this way I manage to scrimp along.
My $50 acres of land cost me an average
of $40 an acre. I wouldn't sell it, of
course, for 500 an acre The crops this
year are the biggest we've had in the
fifteen years I've been here, and you
can tell the folks that the short grass
country's good enough for me-
Thew heat field that Mr.. Holbower
was cutting had grown wheat for twelve
years in succession without an ounce of
fertilizer, and he expects a yield of Is
to 80 bushels an acre from it.

THE POTATO IS KING.
Kaw Valley Farmers Expect to Mar
ket ]. 200 Carloads at Good Prices.

Lawrence, June 23.-Growers of po-
tatoes in the Kaw valley from Kan
sas City. Kas., to Topeka expect to
market 1900 cars Of potatoes from this
years crop. The acreage is not as
large this year as usual, which is due
to the low prices and slender profits of
the last two or three years. Still the
yield will be a good one and growers
expect to get better prices than they
have for several years.
Senator Edwin Taylor of Edwards
vile said it was time for the potato
man to have a share of the prosperity
1.-THE farmer is getting good prices
for his wheat and corn and his cattle
and hogs, the 1aborer is getting plenty
of work at fairly good wages, but the
potato man is getting only small re-
turns. I think it is time for the po-
tato man to have an inning
Indications now point to much bet
ter prices than have been paid Cor pO-
tatOes for. several years. The northern
crop is backward and the floods in
the south have left many potato fields
bare, so it is certain that a heavy de-
mand will be made on the kaw valley
for early shipments. The growers are
already making ready for this and be-
fore the end of next week potatoes will
be moving in car lots from the Kaw
valley.
