FINE APPLE CROP.
Southwestern Kansas VIII Furnish
Exhibit at ST. Louis.

w. F. Schell. who was recently ap-
pointed superintendent of the state hor-
ticultural exhibit at the Louisiana Pur-
chase exposition at st. Louis next year.
returned yesterday from a trip TO the
southern part of Cowley county. where
he went to look over the apple crop with
a view of ascertaining the condition OF
the apple crop in southwestern Kansas.
He said
Il visited the Kellar orchard, which is
situated near the state line in Cowley
county about ten miles southeast of Ar
kansas City, and was surprised at the
large, fine crop which will be harvested
from this orchard this fall. The orchard
contains only fifty acres, and several
acres of the trees are still young and
not bearing at their greatest capacity,
but the orchard will produce 1900 bushels
of as fine apples as can be raised any
where. There are six or eight different
varieties and they are all of an excep-
tionally large size, sound and of perfect
form. With such apples TO exhibit at
ST Louis. Kansas will rank among the
first in her horticultural exhibit
The older trees are loaded with ap-
pies and southwestern Kansas will har-
vest large crop of exceptionally fine
apples this falL In Sedgwick county the
yield will be fair and the quality fine.
but southwest Of here the crop is even
much better. IN northwestern Kansas
the apple crop is short and poor this year.
and for our ST. Louis exhibit we will
have to depend principally on the south
western part of the state"

Mr.. Schell left for Topeka yesterday
afternoon and today the horticultural
board viii meet to formulate plans for
the Kansas exhibit at the St Louis ex-
hibit. AS the fair opens in May il Will
be necessary to collect several cars of

pies. and place them in cold storage to
be used as exhibits till next years crops

not be till late in the fail.
Mr.. ScheH thinks that most Of the ap-
pies for the fair viii be obtained in this
part OF the state and that they VIII be
kept in cold storage either here or at

sition next spring Cold storage apples

AT WORK ON BRIDGE
Street Car Bridge viii Be
Completed in a Month.
HEAVY TIMBERS TO Be USED
New Structure Will Be Strong
er Than Old One.

This morning the pile driver will be
gin the work of driving the piles for
the abuttment of West Douglas avenue
and will then construct the new street
car bridge across the Arkansas river.
The pile driver is in position and was
ready to begin work yesterday afternoon
but the city did not get the piles on the
ground.
1t is necessary for the city TO build an
abuttment along the river bank to give
the pavement firm basis and the sec
ond bent of the street. car bridge VIII
be in this line The city's work will
the bridge will be done.
The street car bridge win be one-thiTd
stronger than the present one. 1t VIII
be built ten feet north of the iron bridge
which will bring the south line very close
to the north line of the present bridge.
One bent of the bridge will be under the
pavement at either side of the river
which will bring the bridge back far
enough that no danger from washouts
of the banks need be feared. The street
car bridge will be $50 feet long.
The present street car bridge is made
Of bents sixteen feet long and the tim
bers are SKIP inches The new bridge
will have bents twenty feet long and the
timbers VIII be 6x16 inches. The bridge
will be able to hold one-third more weight
than the present one and is built es-
pecially to carry the heavier cars operated
on that line.
The old bridge has been in use for
twelve years and the company considers
this long enough for any pile bridge 70
stand. New stringers were put in a few
years ago but within a few years new
pile would have to be driven and the
street car company decided that a new
bridge would be better than an attempt
to repair, the old one and it was planned
to have the new one built farther north
to allow the construction of a Milan
bridge TO take the place of the iron one
The timbers for the bridge are on the
ground and the work will be pushed as
rapidly as possible. 1t will require about
a month to complete the work but this
will not interfere with the paving as
the tracks can be laid on the bridge as
soon as the abuttments are completed
and Superintendent Morrison stated last
night that he would have his bridge fin
ished as soon as the. street was in condi-
ton to run cars through.

NOT HURT VERY BAD.
Hardy Frazier Fell Off Cage in City
Prison

Hardy Frazier was arrested Tuesday
evening for being drunk, and during his
incarceration in the city jail fell off the
cage and bruised his head and back con-
siderably. Last night Chief Burt re-
ceived a telegram from G. X. Hudson
at Ponca City asking if Hardy Frazier
was here and how badly he was hurt.
The mans back was quite badly bruised
and he was in considerable pain. but the
injuries were not serious Frazier had
been turned out early in the morning on
the advice of the city physician. who ex-
amined him, as his being kept in Jail
would only make the wounds more pain
full, while if given his freedom the wounds
would heal shortly.
