BISHOP o. r. FITzGERALD DEAD.
Venerable Prelate Succumbs to Sec
Ond Attack Of Neuralgia Of Heart.

Mont Eagle, Tenn, Aug. 5-Bishop
Oscar Penn Fitzgerald, Of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, South, died
at his cottage here at 3.45 O'Clock
this afternoon of neuralgia of the
heart. For the last ten days news
Of his death would not have been
unexpected.
The venerable churchman and au-
thor had been in i'll health for seve-
raj years, and during the last year
had been very feeble Ten DAYS ago
he suffered an attack Of NEURALGIA OF
the heart, which was followed a few
days later by another attack.
With Bishop Fitzgerald when he
died ere his daughters, Mrs. ]. N.
Nye and Mrs. j. B. Robertson, of
Nashville; his sons, William S., of
Tullahoma, Tenn, and Oscar Fitz-
gerald, Of Charleston, w. Va, and
Dr.. and Mrs. Allen G. Hall, of Nash
vile, friends Of the family.
Bishop Fitzgcrald's Career.
Oscar Penn Fitzgerald was the son
of Richard and Martha Jones Hopper
Fitzgerald, and was born in Caswell,
N. c., August "a, 1929. His middle
name was taken from that Of Rev.
DR.. Abraham Penn, who coached him
in infancy, praying at that time that
he might become Methodist minis
ter.
His first work was in the compos-
Ing room Of the Lynchburg Republi-
can. Later he became a clerk in the
office Of the Lynchburg Post, and
while so engaged the Mexican war
came on. His father, responding to
the call of his country, marched to
the front.
When the war was over the young
man, who had accompanied his fa-
ther to the front, returned to news
paper work, going to Richmond and
obtaining place on the Richmond
Examiner, of which the late John w.
Daniel was then proprietor. It was
faVorite reminiscence with Bishop
Fitzgerald, his acquaintance with
Edgar Allen Poe, who was then lit
erary editor Of the paper. Bishop
Fitzgerald at this time was about 20
Eyears old.

In 1854, at the Georgia Methodist
Conference meeting at Atlanta, with
Bishop Capers presiding, he was ad-
mltled ana was sent to Savannah as
junior preacher. A short time
later he went West as a missionary
In 1862 he was chosen superin-
tendent of public instruction of IN
dian children. Returning later to
the South, in 1878, he was elected
editor Of the Nashville Christian Ad-
vocate, an organ of the Southern
Methodist Church, succeeding Rev.
DR.. T. r. Summers. In 1886, when
the General Conference Of the church
met in Richmond, he was suggested
as bishop, and four years later,
when the conference met In ST. Louis,
this honor was voted him.
For many years Bishop FITZGERALD
had been incapacitated by age and
failing strength, but his interests in
the church never tagged. To the
end of the days, too. he was intense
ly Interested in newspapers. In 1855
Bishop Fitzgerald was married to
Miss Sarah Banks, Of Enon, Ala
bama, who survives him.

Fircmen Saved from Death.

Knoxville, Tenn, Aug. T. The
wholesale grocery house Of Hazen &
Lotspech Company was partially gut
ted by fire this afternoon. Three fire.
men fell into the buring building, but
were rescued. The fire is supposed
to have originated from spontaneous
combustion and was confined to the
rear of the fourth floor Of the build
ing. The fourth floor fell in and
the weight Of debris and stock, cou-
pied with the weight OF the water
deluge, carried down the third and
second floors, making the interior a
mass Of ruins. The stock Is valued
at from $4,000 to 100000, and is
thought to be almost a total loss.

from Walhalla on the 2Sth Of July.
The writer was there and saw this
game. He does not see how Seneca
could have the nerve to have any,
thing published, especially in the
Greenvllle News, that she was play
ing for the championship of Oconee.
SO we would ask that Seneca have a
statement published In the Green
vile News that they made n mistake
about the matter Of championship Of
Cccnee county, and state that she haG
simpy left home for one game. 1t
may be that they we're playing at
Pendelton so as to assure fair deal.

Hunts Owner of $1,000 Roll.

Utica, N. Y, Aug. 4.-George B.
Wheeler, grocer, living at Middle
burgh, picked up roll of $4,000 in
gold certificates near the door Of his
store yesterday, and as no one ap-
peared to claim the money, he placed
advertisements in the newspapers to-
day asking for the owner Of the cash.
A most diligent search failed to re-
veal any one who had dropped the
yellowbacks. 1t Is believed that
yeggmen, planning to rob Wheeler's
store, accidentally dropped the
money and were frightened away.

4. NJ. Ten Eyck, superintendent OF
the Fort Hays branch experiment sta
ton Of the Kansas State Agricultural
college, is the man who introduced
this wheat in America. Writing to
the Helena man he says: 81 believe
the kharkof wheat will give very good
results in Montana; it will succeed
wherever the turkey wheat grows
wei and will probably ontyield the
turkey"
Kharkof was found by Prof. Ten
Eyck in the Russian Crimea, accord
ing to an account in the Technical
World Magazine, July, 1910. Season
after season this kllarkof, along " til
Il dozen other varieties, was tested
until finally twobig producing strains
definitely were established. "One
was called ghirka, and from it one
farmer raised crop Of IS bushels to
the acre." says the Technical World.
1.-The other variety was called khar-
kof, and at the agricultural college it
produced 80 bushels to the acre. O
the two wheats, the kharkOf seemed
to Prof. Ten Eyck to he the superior
in all desired qualities and premra-
tiOns were at once made to produce
kharkOf for seed.
1t is said that because OF the more
nOrtherly latitude, Montana kharkOf
will probably prove to be Of superior
quality and yield to the Kansas khar-
kOf.

DEVELOPMENT
OF MONTANA

Witt, rapidity Of which the pco-
pie Of the state are only themselves
aware. MOntala is beng rapidly
transformed from 4 sparcely inhabit-
ed land Of sage brush, sheep barons
and magnificent distances to u set
tied, prosperous American farming
community. \ new agricultural
state is being horn. The changes Of
the last half dozen years have been
revolutionary.
The men who are interested in
MOntana's transformation are not
mere adventuIers hut hard-headed
men who expect return on their in
vestments. The railway development
in the state during the last three or
four years is evidence enough that
others that mere adventures see
reasonable hope Of permanent devel-
opment and prosperity. Five trans
continental systems now seek busi-
ness in the state, and every one has
increased it's mileage in Montana
within the last two or three years.
One has built across the state it's
full length withia that time. Branch
lines are being built rapidly. The
opening up OF the country is not con-
tined to any one section of the state.
Immigration is going on more
steadily today than ever before.
Where are the people coming fromy
Chiefly from the Mississippi and Mis-
souri, valleys, the north centrnl states.
There are very few foreigners, nearly
all the newcomers are native Ameri-
cans. This in the complimentary
fact which explains the stationery or
declining farm population in the up
per Mississippi valley which was 80
startling Il revelation Of the federal
census OF last year. Iowa's Mime
sOta's and Wisconsin's losses are
Montana's . gains. Montana may well
feel proud OF the class OF settlers who
are coming from these older farming
regions. If they are the more adven-
turous. they are also the more enter
prising and ambitious. The home
garden patches which the writer has
seen in various parts Of the state arc
evidence enough that the newcomers
are not unthrifty.
Ii you don't know what is best to
do, play II waiting game.

NEW WHEAT BETTER
THAN TURKEY RED

There is slowly being introduced in
o Montana Il new variety Of hard
wheat, and from the success had with
it so far, it is not unsafe to predict
that in few years it will entirely
supercede the present varieties Of tur-
key red wheat, says the Helena Rec
ord. This new variety is kharkof,
and not only does it give greater
yield than turkey red, but it is fully
equal in quality to the best turkey
red wheat grown in Montana.
A Helena ranch company secured
two sacks of kharkof last fall and
planted it the middle Of last October,
four or five weeks later than winter
wheat is customarily planted. In
spite of the lateness Of its planting.
these two sacks threshed sixty-seven
bushels Of wheat, and the kernels
were larger than thekernels Of turkey
red wheat. The heads, though, not
fully filled out because Of the late
planting, averaged nearly six inches
in length.
A sample of this Montana kharkof
was sent to Minneapolis and tested by
the Howard Wheat & Flour Testing
laboratory. They reported: 'The
wheat seems to be Of good quality.
containing an average amount Of
