AUSTIN, Tex — For a while, it looked like Kansas State may get boat-raced for a second straight week. Considering the weather conditions, it would have been fitting. To the Wildcats’ credit, they refused to give in to Texas like they did to Oklahoma a week earlier. But a lack of offensive firepower proved costly once again as K-State fell to 3-4 on the season with a 23-9 loss to the Longhorns on Saturday afternoon. With multiple chances to tie the game in the 4th quarter, the Wildcat offense, aside from Charles Jones, was inept. Jones finished with 122 yards…
KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) The U.S. Marshals Service says a Kansas City, Kansas, man who fled the U.S. two years ago was arrested when he flew back to the country from Africa. Marshals say Wilson Tyler was arrested Thursday at John F. Kennedy airport in New York. He fled in 2013 after being charged with conspiracy to distribute cocaine and stealing $150.

He was convicted of sodomizing another…
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) Kansas officials are considering tougher penalties for people who chronically exceed water supply consumption limits or don’t report how much water is pumped from wells. Susan Metzger, assistant secretary of the state Department of Agriculture, talked about changing penalties Thursday before an interim legislative committee. She said the $250 fine for not reporting water use wasn’t much of a deterrent. She said overdrawing water for a year gets a written notice. Metzger said the department hasn’t determined how much penalties would rise, or when it would take effect. The Topeka Capital-Journal reports talk of harsher penalties comes…
KANSAS CITY, Mo.(AP)– Lorenzo Cain raced in from the outfield about as fast as he had raced around the bases, hurrying to join the rest of the Kansas City Royals as they streamed onto the diamond in celebration. There was Eric Hosmer, hugging anyone in sight. And curmudgeonly manager Ned Yost, finally cracking a smile. And stoic closer Wade Davis, who let out a fierce roar Friday night when the Royals recorded the final out in Game 6 of the American League Championship Series, a white-knuckle, 4-3 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. A win that returned the Royals to…

College students already facing massive potential debt loads after completing their degrees and facing an entry-level job market that demands experience have another piece of sour news. The cost of being a K-State student in Manhattan has gone up from 2014. The silver lining? This year’s increase was relatively mild, mainly due to drops in fuel prices. The 2015 Student Price Index (SPI), compiled by the Kansas State University Economics Club, increased by 1.4 percent from 2014, while the national Consumer Price Index remained essentially unchanged from last year. The SPI is based on prices collected on a bundle of goods a typical…
