WARM wINTERAND WHEAT CROP
Does the Wet Season Mean a Good
Outlook or a Bad One?

Kansas City, Mo.-Not in-years
has the wheat beltof the Middle West
had such a warm and moist winter.
The temperature has seldom reached
a severe point of cold, and the rains.
fogs, sleet and even thunderstorms
have been unusual. Tne Wheat
ground has been soaked all winter.
This is not alone in the older wheat
counties, but out to the western edge
of Kansas, and even into Colorado.
While the rainfall has been much
lighter there, it has been enough to
give the wheat a good start. The de-
mand Of the farmer is for heavy
SHOWS to cover the wheat, and the
plant thus protected goes through the
cold weather better than in any other
way. The big wheat crops have fol-
lowed the heavy SHOWS. The old crop
is wel1 out Of the farmers' hands in
the central part of the wheat belt.
Many who held for higher prices have
finally let their crop go and are clean
ing up their supplies.

WILLIAM WHITLEY SHOT.
LOndon's Universal Provider /"
Murdered in His Store.
Killed by a Man Calling Himself His
Son, WHO Afterward Turned
Revolver on Himself.

London.-William Whiteley, known
as "The Universal Provider," who es-
tablished the great department store
in Westbourne Grove, the first of its
kind in London, was shot dead by an
unidentified man, who afterward at
tempted to commit suicide.
Mr.. Whitley was in his store when
the man, who was we'll dressed. en-
tered and insisted on seeing him.
The two men had a heated interview,
which ended by Mr.. Whiteley threat
ening to call the police. AS he turned
to re-enter his office his assailant
fired twice from a revolver into the
back of Mr.. Whiteley's head and
then shot himself in the forehead,
falling across his victims body.
The store was full of customers,
who were thrown into a panic. The
police had some trouble in restoring
order. They cleared the place and
closed the doors.
The murderer is about thirty-fve
years DID. He gives the name of
Cecil WhiteIey. He is now lying in a
hospital in a hopeless condition.
When asked about the affair he said:
ct shot my father"
Two sons of Mr.. whitley who
have seen the murderer declare that
they do not know him, and he is a
stranger to the entire Whitley fam
lily.
William Whitley, by birth a York
shireman, has been for years one of
the most prominent merchants in
London The Whitley store is one
of the recognized show places of
Great Britain's capital.
Whitley is said to have been the
originator of the department store
idea. In his own vast establishment
almost every conceivable sort of arti-
Gle could be purchased. He was
dubbed in fun 1.-THE Universal Provid-
err" and came very near to meriting
the sobriQuet. His employees num-
bered many hundreds.
In 1851 Whitley went to London
with $50 as his sole wealth. He
worked a while in a store, saved his
money and, borrowing enough from
his friends to make up a total capital
of $4,000, he opened business in West
bourne Grove in 1863.
His only employees were two girl
assistants and an errand boy. The
store has grown until now William
Whiteley, Ltd, has a capital Of more
than $4,500,000. The elder White
ley was president, and his son, Will
lam, Jr., is secretary of the company.
The London police have identified
| the murderer of William whitley as
Horace George Rayner. The doctors
think that the assassin will recover.

GEN. RUSSELL a. ALGER DEAD.
He Expires Suddenly at His Home in
Washington.

Washington, D. General Rus
sell A. Alger, United States Senator
from Michigan, died suddenly at his
residence here.
Senator Russell A. Alger was q SOL
der and a very successful business
man as we'll as a statesman. He was
born poor and had to work his way
along while getting an education, but
he afterward made millions out of
the timber lands Of Michigan which
he acquired at the close of the Civil
War.
Mr.. Alger was born in Medina
County, Ohio, on February 81, 1886,
and he was compelled to begin the,
struggle for existence at a very early
age. His father died when he was
ten a old, and the lad went to
work on a farm to help support his
mother. For seven years he worked
about in the fields in summe and in
winter got whatever schooling he
could, with a view to becoming a
teacher. At nineteen he succeeded in
this ambition and secured a district
school in Northern Ohio. While he
was teaching he read law between
times in the Office of Wolcott & Up
sord, of Akron, and after he was adj
mitted to the bar he went into the
office of Coffinbury. &c Otis, at Cleve-
land. Six months later he went to
Michigan and began to practice at
Grand Rapids.

Chagrin Felt in England.

J.ondon.-Nothing in years has so
CALLED British pride and -s~elf-respect
as Governor Swettenham's letter to
Rear-Admiral Davis. 1t is not too
much to say that there is a universal
feeling of humiliation and shame
throughout theecountry at the knowl-
edge that a British official could be
guilty of such an exhibition # cad
dishness and ingratitude.
Public sentiment finds sufficient ex-
preston in the press of all parties.
but the printed comments are mild
compared with the private denuncia-
ton of the Governor heard on all
sides.
