This plantis no of she most! 1 AIMS WHITE WOMAN [Girl Sues Joplin Police Court!’ AFormer Banker’s New Trail to Fortune—He Raises Pie plant All Winter. The financial panic of 1896 made many changes in tle occupation of men. Bankers became farmers and miners became tramps. Few of those unfortunate losers of all they pos- sessed entered fields of labor they had expected. Many were compelled to accept the offers that came their way. So it was that W. H. Paulhamne, a bank cashier, was forced ont on a @ little farm near Sceattle, Wash. The property did not pay its way, and prospects for making « living were not very bright. Six acres were planted to pieplant, rhubarb, Farmers gazed in wonder- ment at the man, as that area repre- sented the largest tract ever devoted to that crop in the state, The roots planted were of the old English Lin- naeus variety, They were set in rows four feet apart each way, and = cultl- vated with a plow. The land had been preoccupied by anorchard com- prising good varieties of apples, pears and cherries, These trees were left to stand The farm required much fertilizing and constat working togive returns, But two crops on the same area, when carefully handled brought results. In the past four years the rhubarb has sold for $500 to $700 anacre. From the trees overshad- owing the pie-plant the crops of fruit have returned more than $100 an acre annually. Thus the bunker has become the capitalist, and is now known as the “rhubarb king.” But the banker-rhubarb king of Washington does not depend on the summer crop alone. He has pie-plant every month in the year. His profits are made on the winter output from & house constructed for the purpose. This house fs bulls out of common lumber and built as cheaply as a poultry house. Itis perfectly dark and only about seven feet high. On the first day of January the rhubarb roots are set in the house in beds made of earth and manure, A fire is built in the stove that furnishes heat and the temperature is kept up to 70 degrees. Two weeks after planting the roots the winter rhubarb house has stalks ready for market. These are sold throughout the northwest to regular patrons at twenty-five centsa pound, The market continues from the mid- dle of January until the middle of March. As an illustration of the money made ina winter rhubarb man hae small place, twenty by thirty feet, costing $40 toeonstruct, that brings him an average of $400 every year for winter rhubarb grown in the house. That was his experimental winter house. And the ple plant has developed other paying propositions on the little farm of forty-seven acres. The owner has fifteen acres planted in raspberries and blackberries. When the market for rhubarb is over he ships berries. His income from that acreage has never been lesa than $600 an acre during the past four years. The highest returns ranged from $600 to $750 an acre. An army of pickers is necessary, but the net re- sults represent handsome returns on the investment, and makes the owner also a berry king. Poultry will pasture in the berry fields and not disturb either the blossoms or fruits. They destroy the insects and kill out the wedds, in addition to fertilizing the land. Be-| cause of these arguments the rhu- open market for fifteen cents per doz- Ie ete at private sale} ed connections. proitable for early crops in the northwest. Returns of $900 have been reported from one acre. The stalks are wanted in every home, at all hotel: and reatanrants, and the demond is dom equal to the sup- ly. An udditional army of men and Ween must ve employed to cut und j-repare the asparagus for mar- ke. Yet it pays a handsome profit. With four good paying proposi- tions the banker farmer {s not satis fied. He recently made a visit to the Blue grass region of old Ken- sucky and purchased a carload of Jersey cows, These make up a nice dairy herd, kept on the rhubarb farm. A glimpse at the boeks kept by the former cashier, shows that after allexpenses are deducted the}, net income from fifteen cows aver- ages $110 per month. This repre- sents the cash received after the hired help is pald, the feed bills set- tled, and all possible expenses taken out of the creamery checks. “Yes, that is a pretty good story,” sald the rhubarb king, but {t does include my fine dogs, imported pig- eons, bronze turkeys and Belgian hares. My advice to young men is to look after some of the producing occupations of life. Do not look too high, but take some of the small things the people must have and make a specialty of the work. Pie- plant is only one of many hundreds of opportunities open in every state for the man who will use his brain and muscle,”—Ex Judge Cullen Succeeds Parker as Chief Justice New York, Sept. 2.—Judge Edgar M. Cullen of Brooklyn, a Democrat this afternoon was appointed Chief Justice of the Court of Appeals by Governor Odell, to succeed Judge Alton B. Parker, resigned.

Pierce City, Mo., Sept. 3.—Yester- day another chapter was added to the most sensational muder case in the history of southwest Missouri. It was in the shape of a confeasion made to ex Mayor Flowers and pros- e-uting attorney Davis by Mrs. Anna M. Schwinn, now serving a sentence in the Columbus (Kan.) jail for the illegal sale of Hquor, to the effect that she witnessed the crime. On Sunday, Avgust 18, 1904, Miss Gazelle Wild, daughter of a prom!- nent farmer, living one and one-half miles west of Pierce City, was mur- dered while on her way home from church in town. Miss Wild and her brother started home about 1 o’clock p.m. Her brother stopped to talk with a friend and Mies Wild walked down the railroad track toward home alone. Her brother followed about fifteen minutes later, and in crossing a bridge overasmall stream was horrified to discover the body of his sister lying under the bridge with her throat cut and life almost ex- tinct. A crowd soon collected and parties started in all directions hunt- ing for the criminal. On Monday two negroes were ar- rested and placed in the city jail. That evening a mob broke into the jail and took the negroes out with the intention of lynching them. One of them promised to turn state's evidence and was sent to Mount Ver- non and placed in the county jail. The other, William Godley was bang- ed to the awning of the Lawrence hotel and his body riddled with bul- lets. Before the mob disversed a} shot fired from an upstairs window ofa house in the negro quarter of the town precipitated a battle in which Peter Hampton and French Godley, colored were killed, ‘and two white men were wounded. Four houses belonging to colored people were burned and all of the negroes were driven from town. The opinion has prevailed that Miss Wild lost her life in the defense of her honor and that four negroes were connect- ed with the crime. Until this week nothing has happened to cause a doubt of the correctness of this pre- sumption. Tuesday, ex-mayor Flowers receiv- ed a letter from Mrs. Schwinn, stat- ing that if he would visit her in jail at Columbus, Kan., she would give the names of the guilty parties.
