Lived Two Weeks With Broken Neck
Two Men Held for Killing.

Salina, Kan, Aug. 10.-Austin John
Wagner of Canton, Ohio, is dead after
living for two weeks with a broken
neck. Death came Friday at ST.
Johns hospital in Salina where Mr..
Wagner was brought soon after the at
tack near Lindsborg, which has now
developed into murder. He did not
lose consciousness until 90 minutes be-
fore death came. He had no use of
his body, however, since he was in
injured.
Two young men are in custody in
Mcpherson county as a result of the
attack on Wagner and it is expected
that the charge will now be made one
of murder. They gave the names of
Bayard Tweeksbury of Abilene and
Harold Anderson. Tweeksbury has

HARPER WILL HAVE COLLEGE.
Returns After 90 Years Absence
Building Used for City Hall.

Harper, Kan, Aug. 10.-This city is
to have a college again. For some 20
odd years it had a flourishing college
with a first class business course. Then
came the short crops and the mental
depression consequent upon the fail
ure of crops, and the college passed
out of existence.
Since that time the building has
served the city for its city offices.
Last spring a bunch of men in one of
the churches formed a board of trus-
tees preparatory to asking the city to
give it the city building for a college.
The city council granted the request
and the property was decided over to
the new board for college purposes.

BUILT YOUR SILO?
This Is a Great Season for 1t, Saws
j. G. MohIer.

Pointing out that a silo is a savior
or immature corn, J. c. Mohler, sec
rotary of the state board of agricul-
ture, is advising Kansas farmers to
build them in larger numbers this
year.
Heavy rains this year, late planting
and a slow growing season, it is point
ed out, all indicate much soft corn
which can be used in silos for the pur-
pose of feeding live stock.
Mr.. Monler urges that the silos be
built as soon as possible after the
wheat harvest is over.

That was an editorial which ap-
peared few days ago in the Stafford
County Republican, owned and pub
lished by Earl Akers. This morning
the editorial was reprinted in the To-
peka Capital, owned and published by
Arthur Capper, governor. owners of
both papers which held the state up
to ridicule, are members of the state
executive council-and the executive
council has complete and final power
to better the state house lawn condt-
tions, or to plant the ground to on
ions and COW peas.
The state lawn in Topeka has been
roasted and toasted by almost every
visitor to the capital city. Visitors
from other states have returned home
to tell of the niggardly policy of the
state and based their judgment on the
appearance of that lawn. Hundreds
of men and women have waded in an
kle deep water on the state house
walks and wondered why the state
didn't do something.
Now the crusade is being taken up
by the state officials themselves. They
are advertising to the world the de-
plorable conditions. But nothing is
being done to improve these condi-
tons. For weeks the state house lawn
cut. 1t is shaggy and bushy and the
slight evidence of blue stem that dec
grated the lawn in former years, is
rapidly disappearing. But the cru
SADIE for a better lawn is marching on.
The state treasurer and the governor
have sounded the battle cry in their
own papers. But nothing in the rec
ords of the executive council indicates
real action.

The Lakes Are Calling You

Tourists from all parts Of the country
are this year seeking the Great Lakes
for their recreation trips, and to those
who have never before enjoyed the de-
lights of these great waterways the large
and splendid steamers and unexcelled
service will he a revelation. This lie par
ticularly true Of Lake Erie, upon whose
waters plies the Great Ship 'SEEAND-
BEE" daily between Cleveland and
Buffalo. The great ship is 500 feet long,
9S feet d inches wide, and has $40 state
rooms and parlors de luxe accommoda-
ting 800 passengers, which equals the
sleeping capacity OF the largest hotels in
the country. The splendid steamers
Getty OF BUFFALO," and 'CITY OF
ERIE" also ply on this route, and with
the Great Ship 'SEEANDBEE" main
tain daily service between Cleveland
and Buffalo, leaving either city at 8 o.
clock in the evening and reaching dest-
nation following morning at 7:3O.
In point of expense, these lake trips
are by far more economical than travel
by rail, and once one has tasted of their
delights, succeeding vacations are sure
to include a lake journey.-Adv.
