KILLED IN AN ELEVATOR
Willie Brown fleets Death In MaeI-
..>t strOm of Wheat

Last Saturday afternoon, the eleya-
tOr'belonging to the shipping aSsocia-
tion at Prairie View was the scene of
very sad death.
Willie Brown, a son of Daniel Brown
insurance agent and restaurant keep
er in Prairie View, with Walter
Granville, though warned against
doing so, had climbed to the, top of
the elevator while Car was being
loaded. Those who have seen wheat
loaded from an elevator know that
the top always sucks downward to the
spout in much the same manner as
water in whirlpool. The lad noticing
this, stepped into the flow, allowing
himself to sink short distance, when
he stepped out safely. This he re-
peated second time successfully and
made a third attempt which proved
too much. When he found he could
not get out he called for help and his
companion tried to pull him out but
could not. Realizing that something
must be done quickly, he called to
to those below to shut off the wheat
and thinking they heard, rushed to
his friends assistance. But the wheat
kept on flowing, drawing him in
farther and farJher, and Mr.. Granville
rushed down stairs for aid. When
the wheat was stopped and help reach
ed the top only the hands Of the UNI
fortunate boy were visible. He could
not be pulled out so the floor was
chopped out from below. 1t was all
over in space tive minutes but the
boy was dead, either crushed by the
weight Of the wheat or smothered.
The following is furnished by the
Prairie View News:
Willie was the son of Mr. and Mrs.
ID! w. Brown OF this city, was II years
of age, and was a model Young man.
The parents were nearly crazed with
grief and Mrs Brown was completely
Frustrated. A Shroud of gloom was
spread over the enJire community,
and the sad tragedy will remain IN
minds OF the spectators for many
years Short funeral services were
held at the house Monday afternoon
and the, mortal remains of this boy
just budding into manhood, were laid
TO rest in the cemetery west Of town
The parents and relatives of the de-
ceased have the HEARTFELT sympathy
Of our community in their hour of
sadness
A. f. Walker nearly lost his life in
one Of these bins few years ago and
1t was almost miracle tnat his life
was saved.
In attempting to restore the boy to
life, DR.. Jeurink received an ugly cash
on one of his limbs, cut by sharp
piece Of tin in the top Of the elevator

Free and Accepted Masons, that in
the death Of brother John Bissell,
this lodge laments the loss Of a dear
brother, who was ever ready to
profTer the hand Of aid and the voice
Of sympathy to the needy and dis
tressed. He was a man Of sterling
sense Of Justice, integrity Of charact-
err and honesty Of purpose, ever meet
ing and greeting all with a fair, frank
and kindly disposition. During his

ing period of more than thirty years
he was honored by several important
positions Of public trust, and whether
filling and performing the duties Of

citizen, his life was at all times the
very embodiment Of high standard
Of ability, Official courtesy, courage,
virtue, honesty and generosity, and
whose upright noble life was
standard OF emulation for his fellows.
Resolved, that the heartfelt sympa.
thy Of this lodge be and ID Isl hereby
extended to the widow and children
Of our deceased brother.

Land alues In Kansas.

While it seems encouraging to hear
of farms selling for SO to slOO per acre
or more and while it may be danger
Gus to say anything we do feel like re.
marking that there is danger of get
ting land too high for farming pur
poses. A farm should be looked at as
an investment just the same as any
other business. The owner of any
business must make an interest on
his investment and wages above all
expenses of conducting thebusness. Is
it possible for farmer to make such
interest above reasonable wages for
himself and wife from land costing
SIS per acre ?-Holton Tribune.
The above applies to eastern Kansas
The problem is solved when the in
yestment is in Phillips county land,
at $40 per acre.
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1903-10-15

The average salary paid the Kansas
school teacher is only 1886 q month
for half year terms. State superin.
tendent Dayton sees danger ahead,
and says the high standard OF our
school system cannot be maintained
unless, wages become better. The
cost Of living has increased and the
required standard for teachers 4 s
higher. One qualified to teach a good
school is qualified to command a bet.
ter salary than the public schools will
pay. 1t seems that II our schools are
to be kept up, The teachers must be
better paid.
