also the srd anniversary of the in.

An elegant supper had been pro-

At roll call each member responded
and said few words for the good

marks.
The supper was in charge of the
Odd Fellows themselves, of course
the ladies assisted also, but Brother
H. B. Phelps made fine coffee and
Brother J. e. Ragland made a first

being when he was passing through

"A Heavy Wind Storm.

On last Thursday afternoon we
experienced another of the heavy
wind and dust storms which always
frequent this country during an ex-
tended drouth. The velocity of the
wind must have been at least so
miles per hour. 1t also did some
damage. Mr.. Holloway had the
frame work of his new residence up
in good shape but it was fattened to
the ground, breaking many of the
boards. In the Artesian country
Mr.. w. B. Slaughter had begun the
construction of the largest barn in
the county, it being e6xI2o feet
and about 50 feet high. The frame
work of one side of this was up,
but the wind soon put it to the
ground. Both these structures will
be rebuilt.

Death of Jesse e. Edison.

Jesse E. Edison died at his home
south of Meade, last Sunday at 100
O'Clock p. m. He has been in fail
ing health for several months, going
to hospital but received only tenn
porary relief.
Jesse Edward Edison was born in
Hancock county, Illinois, Decem-
Der Io, 1874, making him 20 years
months and S days of age at the
time of his death.
He came to Kansas with his par
ents in 1876, the father and mother
having died few years after COM
ing west. On November IA, 1900
he was united in marriage to Miss
Winnie Marshall, who with two
children remain to mourn his un-
timely death. On May 8, 1901 the
deceased became a member of the
A. o. U. w. Lodge of this city, in
which he carried a $4,000 BENEFICIARY
policy in favor of his wife. Brother
Edison also leaves seven brothers
and one sister, he being the first of
the nine to be removed by death.
In the death of Jesse Edison the
community has been deprived of an
honest and worthy citizen, his wife
and children of a true husband and
devoted father and his brothers and
sister of a kind and loving brother.
The funeral services were held at
the M. E. church, conducted by
Rev. Stamper and Rev. Ross. The
A. o. U. w. Lodge attended in
body and took charge of the
services at the grave, using the
Lodge burial ceremony.
Interment was In Graceland
Cemetery.
The entire community sympathize
with the bereaved family in this,
their sad hour of afflichon.

GLORIOUS RAIN.

On last Saturday morning abou
II O'Clock it began to rain, the frst
since last. October. 1t continued
for about an hour, filling all the
cellar holes, and flooding the streets.
1t made everyone feel extremely
happy and no business was trans
acted in the fore part of the day.
Late in the afternoon the farmers
began to come to town and do
their trading. All of them wearing
broad smiles and thinking of the
barley and other spring crops they
had planted in the dust. AS far as
we can learn the rain was general
over the county and what everyone
was wishing for. Everyone thinks
the drouth is broken and we will
have plenty of rain the remainder
of the summer. There was III
inches of rain fell according to the
Government gauge.
