BIG APPLE ORCHARD BURNED A NEGRO SWINGS IN SUMTER
After Several Years of Effort the
Trees Fail to Respond, and
the Torch Is Applied.

TOPEKA, Kan.-The Wellhouse
apple orchard on the main line of
the Santa Fe, in Usage county, near
Wakarusa, the second largest orch
ard in the state, has been destroyed
by the owners.
Twenty years ago Fred Wellhouse,
the apple king of Kansas set out the
orchard. 1t contained 500 acres.
Nearly $4,000 trees were required.
The trees grew fairly we'll for the
first few years, but when it came
time for them to bear they bucked.
An investigation developed the fact
that the soil was\not adapted to ap-
pie growing. For fifteen years Well
house and his son held on to the
orchard in the hope that the ele-
ments might produce a change. Oc-
casionally the orchard would yield
a light crop One year it did manage
to turn out $4,000 worth of fruit.
But on the whole the orchard was q
failure.
Last year Wellhouse sold the orch
ard. 1t IVES divided up among two
or three purchasers. The new own
ers decided not to fool with the
orchard any longer. SO one day re
Gently when the wind was strong and
vegetation all dry they set fire to the
orchard. 1t is estimated that much
more than As, 900 live apple trees
were burned. The owners will now
clear the ground and put it into
grass, corn and other crops.

RATS FOND OF FREE SILVER.
At Least Those in Missouri Believe
Strongly in 1t.

Missouri rats-at least some OF
them-believe in free silver as food.
A. B. Allen, collector of internal
revenue at st. Louis, has received
two silver dollars from Murley
Smith, a farmer near LaClede, Mo-,
which Mr.. Smith says he lost in his
corn crib last fall. Nearly one-fourth
of them had been eaten, and the
marks of the rodents teeth are plain
on both.
The tellers at the United States
subtreasury refused to redeem the
coins, and said they were marketable
only as old silver.

ed Allows City to Pull Down.
Town Lighting system

The first test of the new electric
lighting equipment installed by the
city will be made this afternoon when
the current will be turned on the
dowo town system. The work has
practically all been completed and the
plant was In operation Monday after
noon Tor short time, but the current
was not sent outside the building be-
cause the connections had not yet
been made with the portion of the sys-
TEN that 1t Is to pull. =
This morning the connections were
made with the ornamental system.
and just as soon as a few other mat
tiers are cared for, the current will
be turned out and the initial tryout
will be given.
It Is not expected that the city will
pull the down town lights regularly
till about Thursday or Friday even
ing, the connection still being MAIN
tanned with the Red River Power
company until such time as the city
is ready to take on the extra load
itself.
The increase in the capacity of the
plant was made in order to care for
the down town portion of the city's
lights, the work being done by ]. G..
Robertson of st. Paul. Chas. Foster
has been in the city for some time
experimenting the Job. He was last
year engaged in the installation of the
filtration system in East Grand Forks.

vestigation. Following close on the
statement made yesterday by Comp
troller Of the Currency Murray to the
state bank supervisors in convention
here that the practice generally was
under suspicion. 1t became known to-
day that q keen young man among
the examiners had found a concrete
instance Of where as many as a doz-
en- banks In small cities had been
concealing loans in one reserve bank
in Chicago.
It was announced some time ago
that large city banks making applica-
ton to be designated as reserve
agents would have to pass the strict
est sort Of an examination Of their
condition. It is now known that the
real reason for the adoption Of such
q rule was to hold a check on the re-
serve banks and prevent them from
becoming accessories to any such
system Of concealment as had been
discovered.
There is authority for the state
ment that the whole system Of ma
tional bank examination and regula-

STANDPATTER
N WASHINGTON
Legislature Is Regular But
Poindexter Has Majority
For Senator

Seattle. Sept. 14.-Returns from
Tuesdays primaries in Skagit and
Whatcom counties indicate that Rep
resentatdve VIM. E. Humphrey, q
standpatter, has been renominated in
the First district. Jefferson county
which gave Judge Burke for United
States senator seventy-five plurality,
is the only county which Poindexter,
insurgent candidate for United States
senator, did not carry. All estimates
of Poindexter's plurality go as high
as 10000. The insurgents gain only
one congressman, Stinton Warburton,
in the second, or Tacoma district, who
defeated Representative w. w. Nc
Creole. The Third district, Spokane,
which nominated VIM. LaFonette, a
kinsman of the Wisconsin senator,
was already insurgent.
The Democratic vote was so small
that the returns sent in thus far take
no account OF it. 1t is believed that
State Senator George F. Cotteral of
Seattle, the national head of the Good
Templars, has received the Democra-
tic nomination for senator. Poindex-
ter. having received a majority of all
votes cast. any attempt to defeat him
in the legislature would be hopeless.
The majority of the members of the
newly elected legislature are regulars.

Paris exhibition Of 1900. Miss Cape-
hart. hearing that her friends life
was in danger, rushed to the coast.
and with the aid of local magistrate
succeeded In seeing Mrs. Berton.
She gave the distressed woman
plenty of money to escape from the
Berton home with her two babies.
Pussy and Nora. 1t was with. this
money that Mrs. Berton took up her
temporary residence at Anglers. While
the police were investigating the poi
son mystery the Berton family had
secured Henri Robert, one of the clev-
crest lawyers in Europe, to look after
their defense. He rushed from Paris
to Anglers and undid all Miss Cape
hart's good work.
The argument he used to take the
children, Pussy and Nora, from their
mother was:
There's no use in weeping. II you
wish to see these children you can do
so at the Berton villa"
That is why the unhappy American
mother returned to what is now her
prison.

Phibbs insisted that their mother
should superintend their studies.
Both in Paris and Berlin the girls
made great progress in their studies,
and took high position socially. Mrs.
Phibbs' musicales were attended by
the smartest people Of Paris and Ber-
lin. AS the girls were said to be rich
they were sought in marriage by the
best and worst to be found in Europe.
The eldest daughter had IAN affair
of the heart" with young nobleman,
and the end Of 1t was for her grave
in Pere la Chaise, stones throw
from the tomb of Peloise and Abelard.
After her romance with the scion of
a French noble house she married a
German naval constructor, who was
nephew of an American impresario
She died shortly after her marriage.
Fate Of the Second Daughter
Neva or "Bebe," as another of the
girls was called. married the most
dashing Partisan of his day. He
bought the first sixty-horse power
automobile ever made and whirled
Miss Bebe through space. He literal
ly swept the whole family OF their
feet by his brilliancy. Later they
learned to their cost that his brillian-
cy was due te drugs. He was Herr
Carlos, wealthy Austrian. who was
spending his fathers fortune in Paris.
He married Bebe after two weeks
Of whirlwind wooing. They went to
Monte Carlo in tlis motor car and the
honeymoon cost 100000 During this
honeymoon. Carlos taught his bride
the morphine habit. Both Of them be-
came slaves to the habit. They were
the worst known cases in Paris.
Twice they were locked up in asy-
lums. They pawned their jewels to
buy drugs. The girl now is divorced
and is physical wreck.
The third of this wrecked family
was Miss Carrie Phibbs. who is now
Madame Claude Berton, the daughter
in-law Of Pierre Berton. who wrote
the fabous play of "Zaza". She re-
Gently charged that Pierre Berton's
wife tried to poison her. ItSis a we'll
known affair which is now being in
vestigated by the French criminal au-
thorities.
But what is not known is that at
this moment Madam Phibbs-Berton
is prisoner in the house of her hus-
band, the Villa Antonette. at Saint
Grevin. on the Normandy coast. The
alleged attempt to poison her was
foiled, it is said, by the vigilance of
the servants, three of whom testified
that they had seen her mother-in-
law place poison in her food and
drink. The Bertons aver she is mad,
and she is now kept a prisoner. The
next step will be to lock her up in a
lunatio asylum.
She cannot cable to her father in
far off Seattle, as she has no money,
and if she had. she would not be per-
mitted to use it.
Amid all this sordid tragedy which
is being enacted in lonely house by
the Normandy sea, the noble figure of
a brave American woman stands out
in bold relief. This woman is Miss
