MANY KANSAS FARM FIRES
An Epidemic Of Mysterious Blazes
Reported From Central and West
ern Part of State.

Following an epidemic of mysteri-
GUS fires which have destroyed thou
sands of dollars worth of property in
Central and Western Kansas recent
ly, sheriffs and railway detectives are
keeping close lookout for fire bugs,
believed responsible for the blazes.
Deputy state fire marshals have been
working on the cases for several
weeks but have made no appreciable
progress. tE-
The first incendfary fires were re-
ported at Wakeeney, 40 miles west
of Salina, several weeks ago when
several wheat stacks were burned by
the use of phosphorus bombs. De-
spite the fact that farmers arc watch
ing their stacks all the time, fires
have been almost daily occurrence
in this district. Members Of the /.
w. w. are declared to be responsible,
but officers are not so certain that
they have set fire to dozens Of barns
which have been burned.
The most disastrous fire yet report
ed was the burning Of an elevator at
Ellis, entailing loss Of more than
$4,000. The building had been care
fully inspected and officers believe
that 1t was set on fire. Farmers near
Great Bend lost three barns, which
with contents were worth more than
$4,000. The Mel thinner barn con-
tanned $500 bushels of wheat, 1900
bushels of corn, a big loft full Of al
falfa hay, an automobile and several
sets Of harness.

Washington, Oct 25.-Cupid scored
another transatlantic bull's-eye here
today when Miss Margaret Preston
Draper, "the richest girl in Massachu-
setts," and Prince Andrea Boncom-
pagni of Rome, Italy, were married.
During the courtship Prince An
drea's brother also ran, the two royal
youths having known and loved Miss
Margaret at school while her father,
the late General William Franklin
Draper, was Ambassador to Rome I'M
der Mckinley.
The Boncampagni family is said to
date back to the Eleventh century. 1t
has furnished two Popes, Gregory
XIII, who occupied the Papal chair
from 1872 to 1856, and Gregory XIV,
who fiourished during the second and
third decades of the seventeenth cen

princes of the Holy Roman Empire
from the Emperor Ferdinand II, in
1884.
The ceremony today was performed
in the noted tapestried ballroom of
the Draper residence, on Farragut
Square. Cardinal Gibbons officiated.
The wedding was the elimination of
childhood romance, begun in Eng

Three subsequent visits of the Prince
to the United States, were followed
early this month by the announcement
