HOW PRoFITABLENEsS
OF PECANS INCREASED

College Station, Texas, July IL
The Texas Nut Growers association
opened its annual meeting here in
connection with the Farmers con-
gress. The principal subject of the
convention is, of course, the growing
of pecans, and the conference with the
farmers has been arranged, TO give
them an opportunity TO learn some
valuable things in connection with the
planting and raising of pecans.
The great bulk of the commercial
pecans are grown from native seed
ling tree. These trees are very abun-
dant along the waterways of Texas.
BY butting these trees with the finer
varieties they become immensely
more profitable. This operation Is
comparatively simple, but is not gem
orally understood by farmers and an
effort will be made to give the far
mers attending the conference an op-
portunity to learn all about the best
methods in use A number of highly
interesting addresses are on the pro-
gram, among them such as President
c. Falknen. of Waco: H. p. Attwater.
Houston; Judge H. A. Halbert and
others.

f!ENDlSH MURDER
OF WOMAN WHILE
Asleep and Defenseless. Her
Body Bound TO Bed
Saturated
WITH ALCOHOL AND THEN FIRED

Minneapolis, July 1.-THE identity
of the woman killed by a mysterious
2ssailant while she slept in her room
at the National hotel here yesterday
was established last night by Els
worth Winsen, a policeman. The
woman was Miss Nellie Elliston, a
milliner, of Ellsworth, and the daugh-
ter of farmer living near Ellsworth.
The woman's head was crushed with
a blow from a hammer, the body tied
to couch. which was saturated with
wood alcohol and set afire. Discov-
cry of smoke and flames escaping from
man registered as IN. P. Wilson, Mil
the room revealed the murder. A
waukee,' who occupied the room di-
rectly over the woman's room, is be-
lieved by the police to be the murder
er. He was seen running from the
woman's room a few minutes before
the fire was discovered and left the
hotel directly
Robbery seems to have bee nthe mo-
tive for the murder. Miss Elliston
lately sold her millinery business at
Ellsworth and had come to the Twin
Cities with So, 500. No such sum was
found in her room. Wilson took two
satchels away with him. Miss Ellis
ton had always bore a good reputation
Her family understood she came to
Minneapolis TO look up some business
opportunity.
