Wife Murderer. Dies
In Western Asylum For
the Insane.
A COMPLETE WRECK.
Body Was Buried In the
Asylum Cemetery
Thursday.

Percy J. Luster, the alleged muir
derer Of his wife at Guthrie last
July, died at the Western Asylum
for the Insane Wednesday afternoon.
Death was due to exhaustion.
Luster, who, while manager of
the Cumberland Telephone branch
at Guthrie, it is alleged, shot and
killed his wife, and leaving her
corpse in their home, locked the
door and fled to Ogden, Utah. His
whereabouts were revealed to the
police Of Ogden by a woman Of the
town he met there, and his arrest
followed on August II. He was
brought back at once and placed in
jail at Elkton. An indictment for
murder was returned at the fall
term of the Todd circuit court, but
the case was continued until spring.
An inquest into Luster's mental
condition was procured by his attor-
neys March 20 last and he was adj
Judged of unsound mind. The testi-
mony of all the witnesses was to the
effect that they considered the man
insane. Those witnesses who had
known him before the alleged muir
der of his wife testified that he acted
as an insane man before the deed
was committed. The commonwealth
introduced no proof.
Luster arrived at the asylum on
the night of the Both ult. He was
unable to sit up and was brought
here on cot. He showed but little
if any improvement, either mentally
or physically, since his arrival. His
mother, whose home is in Birming-
ham, Ala, had been with him much
of the time during his incarceration
at Elkton and she accompanied him
when he was brought to the asylum.
She returned to Alabama the next
day, but few days ago she came
back to see her son. She called on
him at the institution and he at first
did not appear to recognize her:
When her identity finally dawned
upon him, he told her that he had
been informed that she was dead.
Although Luster partoOk of nour-
ishment at the asylum, he was never
able to walk step. The body was
inferred in the asylum cemetery
Thursday.

SUCCESS SCORED
Wherever Vanderbilt Glee
Club Has Appeared.

The Vanderbilt Glee Club will give
a concert at the Tabernacle tonight
and the prospects are flattering for a
good house.
The following extract is taken from
the Tuscaloosa (Ala.) Times-Gazette
the clubs recent appear
ance in that city: "They sing with
spirit and dash wherever occasion
demands and they give their stunts
with infectious jollity. The pre-emi-
nent feature of the clubs perform
ance is not in its Individual voices,
though they are good, but in their
beautiful blending, and the writer
does not believe Yale, Princeton or
any other institution can send out a
better trained chorus"
The Nashville Banner says of the
organization: "It was a beautiful
and inspiring scene witnessed last
night at the Vendome, when the Van
derbilt Glee Club gave their annual
Nashville concert before a represent
alive audience that packed the play
house from pit to gallery. 1t was q
performance that will be lasting in
the memory of those who attended,
on account of its enjoyment. The
strong hold the Vanderbilt boys have
on the people of Nashville was never
more fully exemplifed than on this
occasion"

The San Francisco earthquake will
rank as the greatest Of American
horrors, though the Galveston flood
caused more loss of life and was over
ina few hours. This disaster de-
stroys city of 375.OOO people, ten
times as large as Galveston. The
property loss will exceed that of the
Chicago fire and double that of the
Baltimore fire. 1t is almost a mir
acle that so few lives were lost in
this greatest calamity of modern
times.

Federal Judge Evans issued the
temporary injunction against the
city of Paducah in favor of the East
Tennessee Telephone Co., thereby
prohibiting the telephone people
from being interfered with by the

grower should study the matter we'll so as to avoid making a mistake that he will afterward regret.
 The matter of distance apart for the trees should be well considered, taking into consideration local conditions, as well as the growth, habits or character of the variety planted. The climate and soil. too, should be considered, for in some sections these may cause a much greater growth on the same variety than would be obtained in other sec tlons. Standard apples trees should be planted from twenty to thirty feet each way and often twenty-five by thirty would be better. Some of the larger growing varieties may need even moro room, as much as 30x}0 feet. Some of the early varieties may not need more room than 20x2O feet in some sections. This must all be largely determined by local conditions. However. the grower should not make the fatal mistake of planting too closely. better the other ex- treme if the mistake ofaigther has to be made
 The grower of commercialfapples should work for large. fancy. high colored fruit and such cannot be had from trees planted too thick or where there are too many trees for the amount of plant food the soil contains or is able to give to the trees The reader should remember. while reading the chapter on planting and selecting trees, that 1t is a mistake to plant large trees. Good, well grown, strong trees one or two years old, are far better than larger and older trees. There is less loss in planting the smaller trees and as a rule they grow quicker. Besides they are more easily trained. By commencing with these small trees, one can shape the trees as desired
 In planting have the holes dup deep and large enough to accommodate the roots without having to double them up. Trim off all broken and bruised roots. spread tho remainder out in the hole and cover with fine. rich moist soil Never put in any substance or soil of a drying na- ture on the roots. As a rule, the trees should be set a little deeper than they grow in the nursery
 When to Plant.
 This, too is important In many sec lions mentioned in this article the fall of the year would probably be the best time 10 plant trees. while in the more northern and western sections, the spring of the year would be the best for plant ing all trees This. too, is largely local matter and must be determined by local conditions and to suit the fancy of each grower. Where fall paintings are to be made. care should be taken to see that the trees are well matured before they are taken from the nursery

The attendance at al lmy lectures has been unusually large. l have delivered from one to three lectures daily. l have held meetings at the following towns in Arkansas the past week: Jonesboro, For est City. Brlnkley. Cotton Plant, Devali's Bluff Hagen, Carlisle and Loneoke, and at this whiting I am at Little Rock.
 There has been great rainfall this fall all through this section, which has greatly retarded all farm operations. There is yet much of the cotton crop 10 gather and the cotton is badly damaged. There are. many fields under water, or where the water is standing over the an1. so that pickers cannot get into the fields.
 At Carlisle, Arkansas l found a con densing milk plant in operation, which is proving very paying industry and bring ing in a great revenue. This plant is now paying s1 50 per 100 pounds for milk. One farmer. d patron of this plant, stated at my meeting that from thirty cows. he had sold this year Sl2W worth or mix ana s350 worth of calves. Besides this the fertilizer from the cattle was worth $O per COW for one year. making $GD0 worth of fertilizers. or q total of SljO from his dairy This mans land is in q higher state of fertility than it was year ago. This plant is proving what have con- tended for years. that the dairy business. properly managed. is the industry for any and all countries. Winter dairyinS in the southern states can be made very profitable. If farmers can become rich selling milk in the states of New York and Pennsylvania (as they have done) for 75 cents per hundred, what ought our farmers in the south 10 do where milk sells for sl.50 per hundred pounds? Let LIS build up the dairy industry.
