The Ball Game.

On last Saturday the Fowler ball
nine crossed bats with the Meade
nine which resulted very disasterous-
ly to the former by score of II to
4. The playing from the start de-
monstrated that the Fowler boys
were entirely out classed.
The game was for Sz5 a side.
The Fowler boys took their defeat
good naturedly and expressed them
selves as ready to play again on their
home grounds and it is thought that
a game can be arranged for the lat
ter part of the month.

We have always been skeptical in
regard to western Kansas, but when
we can see from to 10 tons of
alfalfa raised on an acre of land and
sold for from s. to 81 per ton and
also alfalfa seed sold for s. and Sc
per bushel it makes US think that the
land is really worth something. AL
so from IS to 80 bushels of wheat
raised per acre on land that can be
bought for less than s. per acre.
One instance we know of. Mr..
Brewer bought quarter of land for
Ss5o last,year, he plowed 100 acres
and put in wheat, or rather had it
put in on shares, giving half for
same. He. harvested over 5000
bushels which at so cents per bushel
would bring over SISoo or $3.50 for
his share and on piece of land that
only cost SsSo. We venture to say
that there is not another county on
earth that can make . showing equal
to that.

The County High School.

An erroneous idea seems to be
prevalent in regard to the cost of a
county High School. In order that
the people may see the matterin the
proper light we publish below the
proposition submitted to the County
Commissioners by School Dist.ict
No. 2.
Meade, Kansas, July 31st, 1908.
Proposition
School District No. 2 Meade
Kansas, hereby submits the follow
ing proposition to the Board of
County Commissioners in relation
to the establishment of A County
High School to be made in the
event a majority of votes cast at a
special election to be held for the
purpose of authorizing the County
Commissioners to negotiate with
the School District at the County
Seat as provided by law.
Ist. That the School District No.
2 is to furnish room ready for use
equipped with stove and desks free
of charge to the county.
and. That the county is to fur
nish the necessary teachers for such
High School and to furnish the nee
essary appliances and fuel and to
pay their pro rata share of Janitor's
salary requisite to maintain said
school.
VIM. F. FEE, Director.
M. c. READ, Treasurer:
A. 7. BoDLE JR., Clerk.
1t will be seen that all the
county has to do is pay the extra
teacher or teachers whom it will be
necessary to hire for the high school
course. The idea seems to be prev
alent that it will be necessary to
build a separate building and a
whole lot of extra expense. This
cost will never exceed a ~ mill
levy, and may never reach that point.
We do not understand why any
one who believes in education could
oppose this proposition. We hope
that everyone may see this matter
in the proper light and vote for the
establishment of a high school in
Meade County.

BEST YEAR
FOR FIRE
DEPAR TMENT
Answered More Alarms with
Less Damage Than Ever Bs.
fure-Reduetion Of Expense.

The year which has just passed is prob
ably the most successful In the history OF
the Providence Fire department. not
withstanding the increased cost or sup
plies and the fact that there were 40 more
alarms OF fire. than any previous year.
When the fiscal year began over a year
ago there was a deficiency In the APP
preparation Of si1.4ss and though the
board of hre commissioners OF which
Benjamin Harrington had ben made chair
man asked for an additional appropr1a-
ton of $4,000 to make up the deficiency,
they were obliged to get along as best
they could In spite OF the shortage.
Coal was high last winter and hay
also. costing about SIS a ton at one ume'
and other department supplies were cor
respondingly high. but when the funos
had been accounted for at the first OF last
month Il was seen that the fire depart
ment had not incurred any moro debts.
but had in fact. saved S,764.2S. Which was
Immediately put into coal
The yearly appropriation last October
was $3.50 900 and this year the approprfa-
tion bill shows that II is $4,000 which
will just take care OF the deffcit and pro-
vide means 10 meet the expenses.
The fact that there was such saving
last year Is attributed to the watchful-
ness and foresight OF the chairman OF
the board of fire commissioners. who has
exercised a watchful eye over all ex-
penditures. particularly in the repairs for
apparatus.
The old method Of procedure was when
repairs were needed on any OF the ap-
paratus for the commissioners 10 order
them sent TO shop where the mechanic
could practically make what repairs he
chose and then send in his bill.
No wCommissioner Harrington. when a
report is~received that repairs are neces-
sary. goes with the mechanic TO the sta :
tion and both go over the apparatus to-
gether and the commissioner gets an esti-
mate Of the cost which In the long run
makes big reduction in the expenses for
repairs.
Another thing which has contributed
to the success OF the year is the state OF
efficiency In which the department. is
kept. The damage from fire last year.
| Notwithstanding the increase in number
was much less than any other. a fact
which the insurance people recognize and
they pronounce the department equal 10
any In the United States.
The present board of commissioners
have paid especial attention to reducing
the damage from water to minimum
and one OF the strongest features of this
reduction has been the introduction OF
| the three way ppipe.
This has valve which controls the
size OF the stream making II one inch 9.
OF an inch or u as the nature OF the
blaze warrants. The chief and district
chiefs have been also given instructions
10 ring a second alarm In plenty OF sea-
son. not waiting until the building was
too far gone. but rather to error the sid >
OF overcaution than the other extreme.
All these things have gone to make I'D
the success OF the year and this city has a
body OF men In its fire department that
for efficiency and promptness are un-
equaIled and OF whom any city would be
Justly proud.

BLOCK ISLAND CAUCUS
CASE BEFORE THE COURT

At the close OF his reading Mr.. Wilson
argued that the Champlin nominees were
selected by the organization which from
time immemorial had been known as the
Democratic party OF New Shoreham and
their right seemed unquestionabie 10
have the name Democrat after their
names on the official ballot ana the Pc
titioners had no suoh right.
Mr.. Wilson read a rule OF the Demo-
cratic State Central committee known as
rule Is giving the committee the right ex-
ercised IN this case. He said the state
committee under this rule could disfran-
chise any man, he explained he meant
that the state committee could deprive
men OF their rights as party men.
THE REAL QUESTION.
Judge Tilhnghsst thought the question
was whether the executive committee OF
the state committee on the town commit
tee was supreme Both sides agred TO this
Mr.. Wilson then denounced the action
OF the executive committee and Judge
Dougles said tho committee seemed to
have done just as the rule authorized.
Mr.. Wilson then declared this rule un-
reasonable. Judge Douglas said the ac-
ton of the executive committee and
state central committee must stand until
disapproved of by the Democratic State
convention Mr.. Wilson TO the amusement
OF the spectators proceeded TO make an
eloquent appeal for home rule
The chief justice here said the only
question was the right OF the petitioners
under the party organization TO the sole
privilege on the ballot as Democrats.
Mr.. Wilson made an elaborate argument
on the point that the secretary of state
had already acted and that the manda-
mus would not lie TO undue his action.
Judge Douglas. whether IL would not
be worse to have the secretary OF state
who might. acting 10 an opposite party,
decide as 10 who were Democrats as TO
have the executive committee OF the Dem
ocratic state central committee decide on
the question.
Mr.. Wilson next argued that the sec
retary OF state under the ballot law had
TO determine for himself which of the
nominees presented belong on the ballot
with official designations. He, therefore.
was called on 70 decide these matters and
mandamus would not lie.

Usher Building Damaged 10 Tho Extent Of
$4,000 TudU.

Medford. Mass. Oct. 1o--Damage by
Are and water TO the extent OF about
$4,000 was done to the Usher building In
West Medford square today. The build
ing. which was OF wood and three stories
IN height, was owned by J. NJ. Usher and
the top floor was used as n hall by the
local lodge OF Odd Fellows
The two lower floors were occupied by
the, stores OF Otto Nelson a. Co, plumb
ers; NJ. Solomon, tailor; Robinson q Co.,
caterers: NJ. a. Treat. dry goods, and N.
E. Wilber, dry goods and mems furnish
ings. The two upper floors were gutted
and the street floor soaked with water.
The fire started on the roof, presumably
from spark from a passing locomotive
on the nearby railroad tracks. The build
ing and various stocks were fully Insured.

These low prices are without question
caused by the Ship Building scandal. the
delevopments of the United States Steel
corporation and the general underwrit-
ing of schemes of all sorts. But while
these good investment stocks have BEEN
pulled down indirectly by the operations
OF the Industr1als. we can see no reason
whatever why they should be kept on this
low price level, and Il would not be sur
prising at any time 20 see the market for
good railroad stocks break away from
that OF the industrials.
The earnings OF these roads are still
increasing and with the assurance OF good
crops. which means at least another year
OF good business for the railroads. pros
