Get Acquainted With the City.

Said a well known real estate man
this morning: 81 recommend the
Wenatchee people to get acquainted
with the city. Taking advantage of
the fine morning, I took long walk
which included the west section of
the city I have lived here a great
many years but I tell you I was sur
prised at the growth that is being
made. There are hundreds of new
homes going up all over the city, and
they are handsome ones, too. The
longer I live here the more satisfied
l am that Wenatchee is going to be
a large city. I recommend to my
friends that they do as I have done,
take a walk out over the residence
section and l am satisfied that they
will come back with as much op-
timism as I have"

summer tillage, which, he said, ac-
counts for the large yield of pota-

October, 1909, and he looks for an
exceptionally good harvest this
year.

best on the shallow tracts, but on
the deeper soil any of the staple
crops and fruit are grown profitably

To Photograph Blooming Orchards
For the purpose of advertising

MURDERER Weller
CAPTURED

San Francisco, April 15.-The DO.
lice of this city have in custody
| Charles J. Weller, suspected of the
murder of Mrs. Henry Schulz, near
| Gig Harbor, Washington. He was
arrested on the charge of carrying
concealed weapons and when grought
into police court today was recog-
| nized by the detectives as the man
wanted in the northern state. When
questioned by the officers he admit
ted his identity.
The crime was most brutal one.
With revenge his motive and the life
of a mother of nine children as the
sacrifice of his murderous rage, Chas.
II. Weller shortly before noon last
Monday, April 4th, is accused of
waylaying Mrs. Henry Schulz. Ia
coma woman, and shot her to death
with a 38-caliber revolver ON the
unfrequented Artondale road, near
Gig Harbor. To make death doubly
sure, the victim was also dubbed.
The dead body was found Sunday
shortly after noon by posse from
Tacoma.
Mrs. Schulz was decoyed to her
death by a letter that told of the
serious illness of her devoted sister,
Mrs. F. Haberecht, wife of Gig
Harbor rancher. Within a half hour
after messenger boy delivered the
letter to her at her home, 317 East
Goth street, Mrs. Schulz had boarded
the steamer Crest and was hurrying
as fast as steam could carry her to
the bedside of her supposedly sick
sister. Two hours after she left the
boat landing at Gig Harbor she lay
dead only few feet off the road
way and within 375 yards of the lit
tie farm cottage of her sister.
Dogs Find Body.
Until 1920 o'clock Sunday after
noon, when Harry Draper and Ernest
Vain, his assistant, with Diapers
bloodhounds, Ben" and Jack, F"
found the partly decomposed body
of Mrs. Schulz where the assassin
had dragged it, her fate was not ac-
tually known; and as the dogs came
upon the six-day-old scent, closely
followed by Deputy Sheriffs H. ].
Dolan and Pete Stenso, two repre-
sentatives of the press, and Albert,
son OF the murdered woman, a pite-
Gus scene ensued.
AS Albert Schulz beheld with his
own eyes the dead body of his moth
er lying upon the rain soaked ground
he uttered a despairing cry and al
most collapsed. Then, returning to
the lifeless form, he uttered vow
to heaven that he would, in like man
ner, avenge her death.
Beside him stood the gray bewhis-
kered F. Haberecht, husband of the
dead woman's sister, and bowed in
silent grief was c. A. Barney, Ia
coma architect, the only other rel
alive of the dead woman present.
Circumstantial evidence points to
Charles J. Weller, the dead woman's
son-in-law, as the guilty party.

ARISE EARLY I0SEE
COMET
1T is VISIBLE NOW BETWEEN a
AND 5 O'CLOCK EACH MORN.
ING AND MANY WENATCHEE
PEOPLE HAVE SEEN TT.

i Ne liLCle uOClCc IN the world OF
yesterday that A. Baptie had seen
the comet early in the morning was
an inducement for a number in this
valley to get up early this morning
III order to see the phenomenon.
They were amply repaid for their
trouble.
To the early riser Halley's comet
is now barely visible to the naked
eye in the morning sky about
o'clock, as faint star The tail has
not been seen favorably in the east,
even with telescopes, and it is un-
likely that it will be seen by the
naked eye until the latter part Of
April or the first of May.
The comet is to be found a little
north of east at o'clock and a lit
tie south of the eastern edge of the
great square of Pegasus. This con-
stellation is easily discernible, be-
ing made up of a huge square of
stars of the second magnitude, the
same brightness as the pole star
The comet will not be so bright as
any of the stars forming the square,
but will have about the brightness
of star just visible to the naked
eye.
Not Tn fn Demonstrations
Astronomers have been disap-
pointed in the return of Halley's
comet, it failing to appear nearly as
bright as was expected. However.
it still has several months to pose
as a spotlight and will probably be
at it's best in the evening sky the
latter part of May and the first part
of June and in the morning sky the
first week of May, when it will rise
nearly two hours before the sun or
about 2 o'clock.
At present the tail is about a de-
gree in length, twice the apparent
diameter of the moon but this length
can only be seen In the telescopes
of the larger observatories. The
comet is now about 115, 100000
miles distant, but by the end of April
this distance will be cut down to
100000 miles, and on May 10
the comet passes within 100000
miles of the earth, a mere nothing
as astronomical space is reckoned.
Sun Will Dim It's Glory.
The comet was not seen as favor
ably in 1888 as 1t will be seen by the
inhabitant in the northern hemi-
sphere this year. The tail increases
very rapidly as the wanderer ap-
proaches the sun, so it will be at
its best about May 10, when the
comet passes nearest the sun. How
ever, at that time the comet will
rise but about half an hour before
the sun, so the rays of the sun will
in a measure spoil the splendor of
the comets appendage.
Throughout the time the comet
is visible in the morning sky it will
be a little north of east, a consid-
cradle distance above the horizon,
between 3 o'clock and o'clock,
which will be the most favorable
time to observe it prior to May IS,
when it again passes the sun into
the evening sky. The comet is now
moving at the rate Of IA miles a
second.

NEW QUARTERSFOR
BANK
FIRST NATIONAL BANK HAS Of
FICES SUITABLE FOR LARGE
CITY MOVES INTO NEW
QUARTERS SOON.

prospects look bright when the new
rooms soon to be occupied by the
First National bank are given
thought. These are so nearly ready
that it will be matter Of only a
few weeks before the place is occu-
pied. George r. Fisher has given
his time to a careful study of every
thing that goes to make a popular
banking house and he will take the
business into the future home with a
feeling that nothing has been left
undonc.
Likes Country Depositors.
Everything tending toward the
comforts and conveniences of de-
positors from the country has been
given first consideration. Instead of
heavy effects in marble floors and
ceilings beamed with oak the ar
rangements are the other way. The
ceilings are light and airy and the
weight is all suggested in the bas-
ings. The whole idea being to re-
lieve the countryman from the
awed sensations that those who do
not live in town sometimes have.
Public Business Room.
On the left of the entrance a room
is set aside for the use of those who
have to meet for business talks. In
it men who have no offices may go
and transact matters even though
they should have no business with
the bank.
Complete Facilities.
Mr.. Fisher aims to have the banks
facilities complete in every way that
appertains to banking. The plans.
are all made with a view toward the
city's eventual increase in popula-
tion to $4,000. There are six Office
windows, one for the bookkeeper,
one for paying, two receiving win
dows, a window for collections, and
finally separate department for the
savings banking, the need of which
is being felt. That department may
not be opened Immediately but all
the arrangements have been made
with that end in view
The storage vault and deposit
boxes are ample for all the needs
that can be anticipated.
Fittings and Finishings.
Marble is used everywhere that 1t
can be to advantage. The stills in
the officers windows are of Verd
antique marble, and the sides in the
entrance way are lined with marble
from Vermont. Another grade is
used for the steps. The floor has
the same sort of thing with Terazo
base that is so popular at the Great
Northern depot.
All the woodwork is mahogany
and the electric fittings are in place
with the ever changing styles. They
are particularly neat and attractive.
Exterior.
The exterior of the bank is sud-
denly shown to the public today, and
comes as an agreeable surprise, after
the long months of delay while the
facade was almost covered with a.
mass Of scaffolding. The false work
was taken down today, and so sud-
denly that the striking front Of the
bank building makes the passerby
wonder IL the year is really only
