The Cimarron River Bridge.

The proper steps are being taken
for the early construction of this
bridge. Bridge Commissioner Bus
ing was in town Saturday and Mr..
John Hotz accompanied him to the
river the first of the week to make
the specifications for same.
This is move in the right direc-
ton and we hope every one will agi-
tate the Cimarron river bridge anc
along with this do some work
Agitation is no good unless we worl
along with it. 1t will be a grea
benefit to the people of Meade, anc
especially the merchants.
We understand Beaver county will
erect bridge over the Beaver i
Meade will put one on the Cimarron
We see no reason why it should no
be done, as the county could not in
vest its money to better advantage
Push it along.

The Commissioners Meeting.

The County Commissioners were
in session Monday to consider bids
for furnishing this county blank
books for the ensuing year. The
Hutchinson News Co. and Geo. w.
Crane had submitted bids for same.
Crane & Co. were awarded the con-
tract.
1t seems that for the past two or
three years this county has been
charged very exorbitant prices for
books and blanks. The commits
sioners have been investigating and
decided to receive bids. On some
articles the county was being charg-
ed more than double what Crane &
Co. agree to furnish them for. The
county clerk is intrusted with the
purchasing of these supplies. The
Dodsworth Book Co. has been fur
nishing this county. SI7.5o per
hundred for half-sheet blanks, $40
for one-quarter size, 80 to 4o cents
per pound for blotting paper, Sc. 50
per ream for 14fb legal-cap paper
and SI8 to $40 for stock book that
can be bought for $40 is certainly
too much. We are glad the com
missioners have looked up this mat
ter. We may, in the near future,
compile a table of figures making ii
so simple that any Io-year child
can readily understand how much
Meade county has been paying for
supplies and how much they ought
to have been paying.

The Cold Wave.

Last Saturday the weather bureau
sent out a cold wave bulletin, and
the wave arrived late in the after
noon, as the the temperature reach
ed 7 above zero Sunday morning.
This was rather chilly, considering
the beautiful, springlike weather we
have been having. Sunday evening
the wind subsidized and now it is re-
turning to the weather of last week,
for which everyone is thankful.

M'KINLEY'S RECORD.
The More the Searchlight Ii Turned
on the Better 1t Seems.

Chicago Journal.
President Mckinley's reported plan to
address again the voters of the country on
the issues of the day and give information
as to the events that have passed and the
future policy of the administration is a
wise plan. In this way he can effectually
meet the campaign of Misrepresentation
that is waged against him. The President
does not often express his views. When he
does the people listen. The next time he
will present his views as the President of
the United States, not as candidate for
office.
In his letter of acceptance President Nc
Kinley, at considerable detail, narrated the
events which led UP to the acquiring of
the Philippines. Skillfully he traced the
course of the administration in its deal
ings with the islanders. But President Nc
Kinley believes, Editor Dana believed.
that the way 10 pound a truth home is TO
keep on repeating IT, Reiteration is neces-
sary In many cases 1t may not be an ex-
aggeration to say that falSehood, often
repeated, will have more influence than
truth stated but once.
Mr.. Mckinley seems DESTROYS of but
thing--that next November every voter In
the land shall know the truth about his
administration. He wants to pound the
truth home. He has made mistakes, but he
has no fear TO go before the people on his
record That speaks we'll for the President.
He wishes simply to be judged by his rec
ord. His campaign managers do not fear
to go before the people on that PROPOSE
ton.

DECLINED BY POWERS
UTAH JUDGE WILL NOT ACCEPT SEN
ATORIAL APPOINTMENT.
Thinks the Acting Governor Had Au-
thority, but He Does Not Care
TO Make Contest.

SALT LAKE. Utah, Sept. 2l.-The follow
ing signed statement has been. given to the
Associated Press by Judge o. w. Powers,
who was appointed United States senator
by acting Governor Acquila Nebeker:
while there can be no question but what
Senator Nebeker was Governor in the alb
sence of Governor Wells and Secretary
Hammond from the State. and that he had
power to appoint United States senator,
the precedent in the Quay case makes 1t
clear that his appointee would not be
seated. Our Democratic state chairman,
Mr.. Burton. is of the opinion that | can be
of more service TO the party on the cleo
toral ticket than in making contest In
addition, have no desire to draw the sal
airy pending contest when i am now con-
WINGED in advance that the seat would be
refused. Hence, unless the national COM
mittee shall desire me to take action,
shall not accept the appointment. At first,
ii appeared to me that Y should make the
fight and thus draw attention once more
as urged by the Democratic party, to the
necessity of constitutional amendment
providing for the election of senators by
the people: but my sober judgment is to the
contrary. 1 appreciate Governor Nebeker's
confidence and shall always cherish the
compliment O. w. POWERS"

BOXERS GROWING BOLD.
FOraging Parties Not Permitted to
Leave Picking without Escort.

LONDON Sept. 22-Dr. Morrison, the
Picking correspondent of the Times. wiring
on Sept Is. says: owing to the increasing
activity of the Boxers and to the fact that
Christian families have been murdered
during the past few days in the neighbor-
hood of Picking general order has been
issued forbidding parties to go foraging
without escort. The British forces are
reduced that the proposed punitive expedi-
ton to clear out the Boxers in the vicinity
of the British summer residences in the
hills has been abandoned. Only four hun
dfed foot and fifty sabers were available.
Horror has been excited throughout.
China by authentic details of the massacre
of missionaries In Shan-Si province, where
Yu Hsien was appointed governor without
a protest from Great Britain despite the
fact that the entire missionary body had
warned the British government that his
appointment would lead to an anti-foreign
outbreak. 1t is now known that when the
news reached the Chinese authorities that
Yu Hsien had murdered thirty-three mis-
sionaries whom he had invited into his
yamen the Chinese government on July II
invited the foreign ministers and their
der a similar offer of protection Fortu-
nately the invitation was declined"
Telegraphing from Picking on Sept. 10 DIR.
Morrison says: General Chaffee has
ceived orders from America 10 cease his
preparations for wintering his troops in
Picking. This is interpreted to mean that
America is contemplating a withdrawal of
her troops. the abandonment of her inter-
ests in Picking and the transference to an
other power of the protection Of the numer-
Gus converts who reached the American
missions and survived the siege. The with
drawal of the German legation is capable
OF explanation, but a misgiving is felt that
America also proposes TO withdraw her
legation.
