PHOENICIANS IN OIL
Col. Fleming Interested in the New
 Southern Kansas Field.

J. A. kurtz returned yesterday morn- ing from a visit of several weeks in the east. He was at St. Joseph Mo and Chicago, where he went to meet the management of the packing firm of Nelson, Morris & Co. whose represent ative he is in this territory. After that he visited the worlds fair and spent several days there. He was there at the time of the burning of the. bull fighting arena two weeks ago yesterday by the crowd disappointed because the authorities would not allow the fight to proceed and because the manage ment of the fight would not give the ad- mission money back. MT. Kurtz was in the arena at the time the fire broke out. He thinks he got his moneys worth in the way of excitement. The bull fight would not have been half so interesting.
 The exhibits at the fair, especially the foreign exhibits are far from com plete says MT. Kurtz. There are great stacks of boxes which have not been opened and it may be weeks before the exhibits are fully placed.

He had talked the matter over with Mir. Fleming but on this trip he was so busy that he did not have time to visit the oil region. Col. Fleming, however, is there now after having inspected the oil fields near Chanute and Independence. At the time MT. Kurtz last saw him he made no investments but he thinks that he has done so since.

other rows at back and sides of skirt. Lace is also employed on a box plaited eton. which generally accompanies this style of suit. Sleeves are, of course, in harmony. Cross stitch in black on the front of a white linen skirt is a nov city, and in black and crimson is very pronounced.
 HANDKERCHIEF LINEN ROBES embroidered by hand, with small me dallfons of valenciennes lace set in. are shown among lace dresses for even ing, so great is the popularity of linen.
 LARGE LINEN OR PONGEE HATS for young people, stitched on the brims, with either plain or stitched crowns, are designed especially for use with linen suits. A handsome hat shows a brim formed of three COWS of accordeon plaited grass linen, edged with lace, and the crown of two rows, with bow of the material at the front, faced with white stitched silk, fully fifteen inches across. Drapings and large flat lib- ertX silk bows are in order for such hats, and on a stitched pongee, with soft silk folds around the crown and 8 large coque feather pompon at one side give an effective finish.
 COLORED SATIN RIBBON BANDS dotted with gilt are pretty garniture, the ribbon being laid in two or three flat loops at each side. attached to the crown by rosettes of rolled up gilt braid. As a variety comes a batiste sailor hat, the brim and crown Of ern- broidered rings, with chip edge. Grim son velvet ribbon encircles the crown with flat bow at the front. No trinl- ming is used under the brims of genu- inc sailors. Silk null hats are standard and this season are shirred, puffed and ruffled to as great an extreme as ever. Light blue is q favorite color white is always in demand and black is a neces- sity.

 rival those of linen or silk, a beautiful example being made with a yoke of narrow valenciennes lace, connected by beading. A row of embroidered wheels outline the yoke, and at the center of the front is a large embroidered rose, with two small leaves above and three of a larger size droop below. On each shoulder is a similar rose and attendant leaves. Sleeves are shirred at the top, with two rows of wide insertion, and cuff of narrow lace. Another handsome waist has three large, embroidered daisies at the front, divided at the cen ter by a row of insertion, and third waist has five fan like shapes at the front, composed of narrow valenciennes lace edging. Hand embroidered linen waists are also in high favor and in these days of waists being drawn down to a point. and skirts made secure at the back, a strong reliable safety pin is invaluable. and it is for this reason that the Cap-Sheaf is so desirable. On account of it's being coilless, it has the special advantage of lying perfectly flat and does not have a tendency to twist like the oil styles, made with coil, while the shield is so long and the wire so stiff that it is impossible for the pin to pull out or become unfas- tened.

OLD NEGRO IS SHOT
TO DEATH BY WIFE.
Horrible Deed Occurs Near
Americas.
ATTEMPT TO INcINERATE BODY.
Melton Wright is Shot to Death and
Attempt Made to Burn Body to Con-
ceal the Crime-A Bloody Tragedy
Near Americus.

Shotto death and his old body placed
upon a funeral pyre of fat pine logs
and burned to a crisp, was the fate of
Melton Wright, an old negro living on
the Ell. A. Countryman plantation, near
Americus The crime is the awfulest
known here in years.
And horror is added thereto in the
arrest of AnuaWright, his wife, charged
with having killed the old man, severed
his head and then attempting TO bum
the body.
News of the murder reached Ameri-
Gus yesterday morning.
Information of the homicide was Civ
en- the officers by another negro living
on the place who visited Anna Wright
yesterday morning early. In knocking
about the place the visitor found the
head of the old negro, which had been
severed from the shoulders.
Looking further, the body of old
man Wright was found behind pine
log, another log being piled upon it..
The pile had already been set afire and
was then burning.
A horrible spectacle it was, that of
cooking human flesh with the limbs al
ready burned away.
AS soon as news of the murder reach
ed Americus Sheriff Bell sent Special
Deputy Frank Hall to arrest Anna
Wright. She is black negress, about
90 year of age. Her husband, Melton
Wright, was a very old negro, probably
ninety years of age.
Officer Halt found Anna Wright and
arrested her without trouble.
Upon being given cell in Jail the
woman talked freely to Sheriff Bell and
others relative to the killing, which
crime she confesses.
The old woman, 1t is said, stated that
she had been under the influence of
whiskey for several days, and was prob
ably drunk when she fired the shot.
Old Wright was evidently asleep, as
his clothes were found at the bedside,
which was blood spattered,
| Alter Killing her husband the woman
went about destroying the body very
deliberately.
The old mans body was dragged
about thirty yards from the house, and
wagon load of pine used in efforts TO
lncinerate it. The legs, thighs and
arms were burned off The head, too,
was either burned or cut off, as it was
found lying some distance away
A white tramp had been living in the
house with the old couple for week,
but left there last Saturday. The muy-
der is one of the most horrible ever
known here.
