that bloodhounds had traced the oody
to a SPOT where earth looked as
though it had been disturbed. Upon
digging, it was asserted. the remains
were found where they had been cur
led after the yourg man had met VI

found to be. Incorrect. The where

sunk by his murderers. The circum

those who slew and robbed the young
man are still at large.
Many persons do not believe young
Johnston was the VICTIM OF such ;
fate, as they think he fell oy@rboart
and was drowned while crossing
Hunting Creek bridge Christina
Eve night. and that his remains arr
still in the creek.

Waterworks for Mansfield

/ A bill has been introduced il
the state legislature authorizing
cities of the fourth class to iSSu,
| bonds for waterwOrkS. public
buildings and bridges. If this
bill becomes a law. and we hope
it will. Mansfield. being city OF
the fourth cllsS. will be empOw-
cred to vote bonds for the con
Struction of a waterworkS SyS-
tenn.
That Mansfield needs water,
works is an admitted fact by
every citizen who believes in the
upbuilding of the town. Water.
works would benefit us in so
many ways that an argument in
its favor is Supcrtluous. We
need it. and we should have it.
ana "" beileve we |! get 1t, but
the only logical way it can be
secured seems to be by voting
bonds for the construction of
plant. laying pipes, etc.
Mansfield is already recog,
nized as one of the progressive
cities in the OkarkS. and the
construction of an up tO-date
waterworks system here would
add still further to the fame Of
the Gem City of the On zlrliS.
The question has been conSid.
erably discussed and our pao-
pie seem to favor such a prOpo-
Sition. So let us hope for the
passage Of the bill and look for,
ward to the day. which we hope
viii not be far diStaut. when
Mansfield can boast of II water
works system ample for her
needs.

Our State Institutions

In its report to the state legiS
iature the committee appointed
TO visit state institutions and
pass upon their peedS says Of
the two experiment stations To-
Gated m,tl+iSs CITY "a, ,--s, ,,..-.--,
"The State Fruit Experiment
Station is located on a 1870 aci e
tract of land about mile from
Mountain Grove. The work of
the institution is to experiment
in the growth of the various
kinds of fruit. to investigate the
enc mics of same and disseminate
the knowledge of the work
among farmers and OrchardiSts
of the state and to plan and
supervise orchards for citizens
in different parts of the state
Its laborS along thoSe lines have
been very valuable to the citi-
HenS of the Stlte, and more and
more is the assistance OF the
station coming into demand
among the people, Accordingly,
the station is filling a more i'm.
portlnt place as factor in the
progress of the mmonwealth.
"Mr. Paul Evans. the manager
and director of the station, is a
capable and experienced man
and is doing excellent work :
CThiS station asked for an ap.
preparation Of SOL 900 for the
next biennial period, which was
reduced to $i3, 500 in the com
mittee recommendation }
Although the State Poultry
Experiment Station is one of the
states Youngest institutions -
having been created by an act OF
the legislature just four years
ago it is fast forging to the
front as one of the most popular
and important.
"The work being done there
under the splendid management
of the director, Mr.. r. f. GUS
enberry, was especially pleas
ing and fully satisfactory to the
committee, and we urge that Il
liberal support be given this in
stitution so that it may be made
to serve the hundreds of thouS
andS of poultry raiSers of the
state in the best possible man
ner
AS the station needs more
land. and as this need will grow
greater as the years go by, we
recommend the purchase of tive
small parcels adjoining the lands
now owned and which can he
bought at a very reasonable
price.
