NEPTUNE's BRorHnR KrrLEDg
Former DlckinsOnian May Have Met
Sad Fate.

SaIina, Dec. 9.-That George B,
Neptune was murdered about the
middle of last September at his farm
near Larned, Kansas, in Pawnee
county, is the firm belief Of his
brother, Dr.. J. W. Neptune of this
city. formerly Of Dickinson county.
One week ago today DR.. Neptune
received a message from a friend of
the missing man and securing the
services Of George II. Meyer. former
sheriff Of this county, he went to
the farm near Larned to Investigate
and find out whether George Neptune
left the vicinity of his own accord,
or whether he was murdered. From
the Investigations already made DR..
Neptune says that he has no doubt
that his brother was foully dealt
with.
A man named C. H. Charles, form
erly employed on the Neptune farm,
Is suspected. Charles lives at Dali
hart, Texas, with his parents, and
ex-Sheriff Meyer says that Charles
was placed under arrest last night
at Dalhart.
In order to bring Charles back to
Kansas, the sheriff of Pawnee coun-
ty will have to go after him with a
requisition.
DR.. Neptune and Mr.. Meyer went
to Dalhart before returning to Salina
yesterday morning, where they saw
and talked with this man Charles.
DR.. Neptune says Charles forged the
name Of his brother to bill Of sale
for Is head of horses, which he,
Charles, had loaded and shipped to
Dalhart. Charles exhibited the bill
Of sale to the Salina men when they
saw him in Dalhart the latter part Of
last week and DR.. Neptune says that
he signature to the bill is not that
If his brother.

When Grandma Goes Visiting.

Grandmother will appreciate sew
ing bag as Christmas gift perhaps
more than anything else you can give
her. This bag is especially suited for
a sewing bag, as it is easily folded and
can be carried in a small hand bag
when she goes visiting. One yard and
a quarter each of plain pink taffeta and
Dresden silks are required. Both silks
are cut on the bias and divided into
three pieces. then sewed together alter
nately, thus-first pink, then Dresden.
then pink. and so on. The. foundation
of the bag is circle of soft cardboard
five inches in circumference. This is
covered neatly with pink taffeta silk
on both sides. for which quarter yard
of pink taffeta silk is required. After
base is covered gather silk and sew
on to base This forms the bottom Of
bag. To make top. turn in silk about
two inches from the top and stitch
down neatly. then make another row
of stitching one-half inch above this
row. This forms place through
which the running string is run. One
yard of narrow soft taffeta ribbon Is
used for a running string.
