District Court.

ODistrict Court adjourned last
Thursday and Judge Madison left
for his home In Dodge City. Most
of the cases were disposed of and
only few of the minor ones, except
the Wiley bond case, went over un-
til the adjourned term which will be
held the latter part of November.
On Thursday morning the divorce
case of Nancy J. Eason VS.. James
F. Eason was tried and the plaintiff
was granted a decree of divorce get
$500 alimony and the custody and
care of all the children.
Bert Perkins who was convicted
of larceny and VIM. Collier who was
the principal witness in the Scheutz
case were each sentenced to the Re-
formitory al Hutchinson. The Judge
gave each of the prisoners some
good sound advice. Collier was
sent for general bad reputation hav-
ing testified in the Scheutz case that
he was an accomplice with Scheutz
in the burglary of Taggart's store.
The jury, however, acquitted Sheutz.
Perkins was sent for larceny of cat
tie belonging to Mr.. Stanley, of
Beaver county. We have heard sew
eral parties say that the sentence
should have been to the state prison.
A citizen of this county informed US
that he had attended a roundup In
Beaver county and that at least two
dozen cattlemen expressed similar
opinions. That they also express
ed great surprise that a conviction
could be secured in Meade county.
We regret that this feeling is so
prevalent in regard to Meade coun-
ty, but we know it is a fact. The
case last week in which Perkins was
found guilty was the first conviction
for larceny of cattle since the mem
orable trial of Jim Heron in Sep
tember 1898. Only one conviction
in over eight years will never stop
cattle stealing and it certainly gives
outsiders just cause for such opin-
ion. We certainly regret to see any
man go to prison, especiallySyoung
man, but the law against stealing
must be enforced, and any man who
is found guilty of wilfully driving
off his neighbor's cattle shouldsuffer
the consequences.

There are a few gentleman in the
city, whose names we will withhold
at present, who are taking an excep-
tionally prominent part in politics,
considering that they have hardly
been residents of the county long
enough to be voters, themselves.
We had occasion to make remarks
along this line last year and stated
that we did not believe the old-tim-
ers would consent to have these
newcomers tell them who to vote
for nor listen to their theories of
how the affairs of the county ought
to be conducted. 1t is alright for
these gentleman to have their opin-
ions in regard to public affairs, but
they must not attempt to influence
men who have lived here for the
past IS or 20 years. What is more,
these old settlers won't listen to
them, either, as they reserve the
right to vote as they please. They
have been paying taxes in the coun-
ty for years and are abundantly able
to judge how the affairs of the coun-
ty ought to be conducted and who
ought to conduct them.
We desire to again call the atten-
ton of the people of the 3rd district
to the candidacy of Harry Hayden,
who has so faithfully served you in
the past and who Is thoroughly fa-
miliar with your interests and is al
so acquainted with the duties of the
office. AS to his honesty and in
tegrity, no man can truthfully assail
it. An acquaintance with Mr.. Hay
den of nearly IA years reveals to US
that he is a man of his word. This
is also the experience of everyone
who is acquainted with him. He
tells every man the same story and
is always to be found on the right
side in the interest of the people of
Meade county. At this time, we
think he should be overwhelmingly
elected for several reasons. At the
present time there are negotiations
pending for the compromise of the
bonded debt of the county of up
wards of $500, 900. He is chairman
of the board and acquainted with all
the details. A far more important
reason why he should be elected is
the fact that he is one of the best
qualified men in the county for the
position. You make no mistake
when you cast your ballot for Har-
ry Hayden.

ed by the Englewood Glee Club at
Meade, Friday evening Nov. 9Th.
There will be vocal and instrument
tai music between acts. There will
be other plays, also, in connection,
of an entertaining nature, and all
lovers of innocent amusement are
cordially invited to come and bring
your neighbors. But it might be
better for those who can't laugh not
to attend because they might die
trying. It's dangerous. Price of
admission IS cents. Reserved seat
tickets, so cents, on sale at Drug
Store. Doors open at 7 O'Clock,
curtain rises at O'Clock.
AN EXPLANATION.
We haye presented these plays
several times within the last year,
and while it has cost time and mon
ey to get them up the "Club" has
refused to receive any money for its
services, the proceeds being donated
so public enterprises. The last en-
tertainment was held at Ashland, and
the proceeds were given to the M.
church at Englewood. The pro-
ceeds of this one are to go to the
Baptist parsonage fund at Meade.
We trust, therefore, that the people
of Meade and vicinity will accept
this invitation in the spirit in which
it was given, and patronize the
"show." CLUB.

Mr.. Hempel seems inclined to
make capital out of our remarks of
last week in regard to some reports
we had heard and commented there
on. We stated in those remarks
that it was not our purpose to mis-
represent him and we now reiterate
the same statement. Our remarks
only applied IF the reports were
true and the article so stated. 1t
was in plain English and any one
who understands that language could
comprehend it. 1t is no use to try
to make a mountain out of a mole
hill. If Mr.. Hempel wants to take
the blame for all the mean things
his friends have said and are now
saying about Harry Hayden, we
could certainly swamp him until he
never could finish explaining.
