The condition of the orchards so far
than last year. The growers in gen
eral are taking much more interest
in their own welfare, and much
more thorough and methodical system
of spraying has been done than in
times past. My deputies rendered
valuable assistance in seeing that
thorough spraying was done through
cut their district and we found it I'M
necessary to enforce the law in that
regard.
About sixty new sprayers and
power machines were installed in the
county, which is evidence of more
and better work, and more care being
taken with their orchards.
A great deal of damage was done
to apple and pear trees and their fruit
by frost on the night of May IS, and
also some damage by subsequent frosts

blight and its results, and l sin
cerely hope that my efforts put forth
in that direction will prove beneficial
when the true character of each be-
comes known There are only two
elements in nature which causes this
trouble with trees and its fruit. One
is from heat, and the other is from
cold, and while more than 80 per cent
of the damage is caused by frost, pure
and simple while in the bloom, the
result of each is the same in their
respective class, whether it be caused
by heat or by cold.
That the true cause of these troubles
may become known to the horticultur
lists of Colorado. and of the United
States, l have endeavored to bring
about meeting with the Psychologists
and psychologists of the country at
large, and in addition, have offered
them one hundred dollar prize, to
meet me in test to prove the correct
ness OF fallacy of their theory, but up
to the present writing none OF them
have availed themselves of the oppor.
tunity. l also devoted much of my
time in June to the care, cultivation,
pruning and irrigation of small trees
which. is very essential, as most of
them die from negligent causes during
the first year.
The fruit crop in general throughout
the county will be good, except pears.
The apple crop will be good notwith-
standing the damage done by frost in
the bloom. Peach crop will be the
largest in the history of the county.
The number of diseased trees con
demned from the nurseries throughout
the country has been reduced about
100 per cent. l notified, and gave
warning to most all nurseries in the
United States shipping stock into this
country that more care must be exer-
cised in the inspection of their stock
before shipping and the future will
disclose the fact that my advice to
them will have the desired effect.

HAVE YOU LOST A PHoTOq
Police Get a Bundle to Return to the
Owners.

A. H. Williams, manager Of a Chi
cago portrait company OF Chicago,
dropped into the police station today
and handed the sergeant a package
containing thirty old photographs, and
then explained He said that an agent
who was working for the company,
came to Topeka to get orders, but
aroused the suspicion of the company
by sending in too many orders in too
short a time. The agent was to get a
certain amount on each order, and it
looked like he was getting rich quick.
The manager wrote to several Of the
addresses given by the agent and got
no reply, and then came to Topeka to
investigate. He found that the names
were fictitious. and thinks that his one
time agent broke into some gallery
and stole a wad of discarded photos
and gave each a fictitious name, or had
purchased a job lot Of old timers for
the purpose of swindling the home
office. Manager Williams said that he
had no use for the photos, and the po-
lice might be instrum entail in return
Ing them to the owners.
There is only one clue to the identity
of any of the photographs, and that Is
the dim penciling in the back of an old
daguerreotype of a man, woman and
two children. The words are u. G.
Shore. North Topeka" Some other
name was given in the fake order sent
with the picture.
The foxy agent has skipped.

FOR ABUSE OF CHILD.
MI and Mrs. c. A. Smith Face Ugly
Charge in Probate Court.

c.. A. Smith and wife who live in
Rossville are being tried in the probate
court this afternoon charged with
beating and abusing their ten-year-old
daughter May, and the evidence so far
produced indicates that the childs
pleas to Mrs. Thorpe for protection
have been justified. Mrs. Smith is the
stepmother of the child, but 1t is not
she, but the father against whom the
greater portion of the inhuman treat
ment is charged.
The testimony of the child indicates
that though but 10 years of age she has
been compelled to do the work of
woman and in many instances that US
ually exacted from a man. She claims
that she has been compelled besides
the homework to saw the family sup
ply of wood and the neighbors have
testified to the same thing.
About six months ago the little girl
first wrote to Mrs. Thorpe, police mat
ron, and complained of the treatment
of her parents and numerous letters
have been received from her since that
time. The attention of the Juvenile
court was called to the case by Mrs
Thorpe who was directed to take charge
of the child pending the hearing which
is in progress today.

WANT A NEW TRIAL.
Ebert to Give Robert Tellies, MUIR
derer. Another Chance.

An attempt to reopen the Tellies
murder case by filing a motion for a
new trial was made today by A. M.
Thomas and 1. T. Bradley, attorneys
for the man convicted of murder in
the United States circuit court.
The jury which returned a verdict
of guilty is accused Of misconduct in
the motion filed.
Il don't care further than what is
set out in the motion to say anything
about our charges Of misconduct"
said Thomas. I'VE base most of our
attempt to secure a new trial on our
last statement in the motion-the
failure to prove venue"
Three reasons why a new trial
should be granted are set forth: That
the jury has been guilty Of misconduct
tending to prevent fair and due con-
sideration of the case.
That the verdict has been decided
by means other than q fair expression
of opinion on the part of all of the
Jurors.
That the verdict is contrary to the
law and the evidence on account OF me
prosecution having failed to prove
venue by failing to prove that the post
commonly called Fort Riley is exclus-
lively within the jurisdiction Of the
United States courts.
There is nothing in that last con-
tention," said United Stares District
Attorney Bone. who acted as attorney
in the prosecution of the case 1.-THE
fact that we brought it out clearly in
the trial that the murder took place on
the Fort Riley military reservation
and that the federal court took cog
nizance by hearing the case estab-
fishes the fact of its jurisdiction.
ION the 81 me grounds after having
proved that a murder took place with
il. state and in Shawnee county YOU
would have to prove that the district
court here in Shawnee county had
Jurisdiction That the officials of the
court were duly elected and ha

probably come up before Judge Pol
lock next week.
The sentence as to the term of inn
prisonment which Tellies must under
go by reason of the verdict of the
jury has not been handed down yet by
Judge Pollock but he stated today
that he would make known his de-
cision the fo-eDart CT next week.

OBJECTED TO THE BILL.
Richard Williams Used Revolver to
Keep on Collector.

Richard Williams relieved himself
temporarily at least of the necessity of
paying a nine dollar board bill yester-
day but at the same time he used such
methods that he was handed a fine
amounting with the costs to $10.75 by
Judge Urmy of the police court
G. Lloyd claims that the SO account
which he owns is long past due and that
as Williams has made many promises
to pay that he again presented the bill
yesterday, going to the home of the
debtor where he was met by Williams,
who drew a revolver and threatened tc
make him forget the amount of the
bill, as we'll as all other troubles Incl
dent to the life Of a bill collector. After
he had been disarmed by a bystander.
Lloyd claims that Williams appeared
on the scene with a wicked appearing

thing than the revolver which had
been taken from him. Friends again

Despite the chilly November rain,
Thanksgiving was a pleasant day at
Ingleside. Lovely flowers bloomed,
chrysanthemums and roses and choice
fruit was even more plentiful than
flowers.
Two fine young turkeys, the gift of

The escalloped oysters were cooked to
perfection; celery and cranberries were
the best of their kind, and the mince
pie excellent. The old ladies greatly en-
joyed the good things and pray that the

and enjoy the plenty of many Thanks
givings after the recipients of their
bounty have exchanged Ingleside for a
more permanent nome.
