Carrie Emma Wagner.


We are reluctant to record the un-
timely death of Carrie Wagner, daught-
er of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Wagner
She died at Almagarda, New Mexico,
on Thurday, February IL, at the age Of
II years, months and 3 days.
Alarming symptoms of some wasting
disease had suddenly developed, which
lead her parents and friends TO believe
that trip to the sunny south for rest
and change of climate would be bene-
fetal to her. But the malady was too
insidious and malignant to yield to any
treatment. She steadily declined and
finally passed away peacefully, in her
characteristica1iy cheerful way still
hoping for the health that did not come.
1t was a great sorrow to her parents,
still under the shadow of their recent
bereavement.
Carrie was a faithful member of the
Lutheran Sunday School. The funeral
was accordingly held in the Lutheran
Church on Sunday merning, at 1920,
and was conducted by her pastor, Rev.
West. The attendance was large.
The Normal students attended In
body to show their respect for their
schoolmate. A chorus, under the di-
rection of Prof. Malloy, sang the
simple songs of the church in a way
that stimulated faith, Gained the soul
and made it steadfast to endure. The
chancel was adorned with many beauti-
full flowers, messengers of human sym
pathy and emblems of life and immor-
tality. Interment took place at st.
Allen cemetary. We extend our sym
pathy to the bereaved family.
L. NJ. Burns is seriously i'll at the

Comrades Andrew Fike and DR.. H.
B. Kohl were remembered by a bunch
of their friends, Thursday night J. H.
Ward brought along his violin and Mrs.
Ward accompanied on the piano and it
was firing line" singing from start to
finish. Both the veterans cheered and
were cheered and DR.. Kohl said the
tunes had better effect on him than
medicine he gets from the doctor
Comrade Fike said the songs were sung
about as well as old soldiers could sing
them. At both places a good social
time was had Among those present
were the following: w. S. Harrison,
Geo. Foreman, J. H. Downing, F. E.
1 McLain, M. Haffamier, H. D. Shaffer,
Mr.. and Mrs. J. H. Ward, c. M. Wann,
Rev. c. F. |Weist and Chas. W. Reeder
J.R. Young of the Oakley Graphic, ,one
of the hustling young editors of West
ern Kansas; was in Hays Thursday
/ Our first thought when he came in to
the office knowing his prediction for
a superhuity of newspapers) was that
he was intending to purchase a newaspa-
per in Hays, but it turned out that he
only had bad case of automobile fever
and having seen an advertisement OF
the famous Dodge automobile IN re-
cent issue of the Free Press, concluded
that the Dodge was the car he wanted
He wired Fred n. Dfeiling, agent OF
the Dodge at Victoria, to meet him II
Hays. Fred was promptly on time and
the deal was made in just exactly if
teen minutes, to second. The Dodge
is one of best cars on the ma-ket-ele-
CANT in design, and good enough ever
for an editor. The mystery is: How
can an editor away out yander" in the
Sshort grass district, afford to own SC
elegant and substantial a machine a:
the Dodge. Perhaps Bill Waggoner Of
the Russell Springs Leader, or JoslyT
of the Winona News, can explain.
