Remember Bonheur Bros. snow
at Meade June 8. Afternoon and
night. These people have as good
a show as there is on the road, and
are all three gentlemanly fellows and
just as fine men as we ever dealt
with. Everyone should attend the
show.
Next year we desire to see the
citizens of Meade take hold of the
decoration day exercises and elimi-
nate all the objectional barnacles.
Let them begin early and let all the
good citizens who desire to see the
day appropriately observed, join in
and help. Our people are as patri-
otic as the people of any community
and it ought to be properly managed.
For the past few years Capt. Osgood
assisted by the writer have started
the exercises but hearafter we shall
decline to take any part.
The libel case of Attorney Gener-
al Coleman VS.. The Topeka State
Journal was decided in favor of the
Journal by jury in the Shawnee
county district court Wednesday.
This case was brought during the
last state campaign by that official
for articles of criticism in regard to
the Commanche county bond deal.
We are pleased to note the verdict
from the fact that the Topeka Jour
nal has been fighting graft and cor
ruption and has been dong grand
work for the people of Kansas. We
hope the Journal will keep up the
good work.
Meade came over with their ball
nine last Saturday and offered to bet
money that they would show US
trick with a hole in it. The score
stood 3 to I in favor of Ashland on
the first game and to nothing
when the rain came up and closed
the second game. This was one of
the best games played here for a
long time and a good crowd was out
to holler for their players. The
Meade ball team are gentlemanly
lot of fellows and our boys are al
ways glad to play them; however,
they had some sorry hangers-on who
seemed to want trouble and were
noisy and boistrous. The boys
should leave these fellows at home
next time.-Ashland Clipper.
The young men, Reynolds and
Broiller, who were before the Dist
tict court on charge of receiving
stolen horses, plead guilty and
Judge Madison gave them sentence
to the State Reformatory at Hutch
inson. This sentence does not fix
the time they shalt serve, as they
may be released at any time by the
Board of Control. Itseems strange
that young men like these will resort
to such practices as stealing, fol
they are exceptionally bright looking
young men and each looks as though
he had enough sense to make ar
