Mr.. Fisk has secured a site
for the power plant near the
depot, on which will be erected
the building, near which will be
the reservoir for oil and the sup
ply tank. The building will be
25x43 feet, sheeted with inch
boards and covered with iron.
The engine used will be a SO
horse power solar oil burner and
steam will be generated with
waters from the city mains.
The first dynamo installed will
be a IS kilowatt generator. The
reservoir for fuel oil will have a
capacity of 5000 gallons. The
house has a room for the engi-
neer who will room there, with
stock room and Office. The
building is so arranged that
later another engine and gene
rator of equal power with the
first may be put in. The poles
are now on the ground, and
other material may be expected
this week with force of men to
drive the work along at rapid

The High School PLAY.

Tuesday June 9TH, the High
School scholars will present a
play the proceeds from which will
go to swell the equipment fund OF
the school.
This play is one adapted to anna
tours, and one which will be enter
tanning when presented by amateurs.
There is of course the william, a
doctor, who in this case having
spent the portable fortune of his
wife, wishes to possess her realty.
After trying in vain to get her to
deed the property to him, he decid-
ed to secure the deeds and alter
them so that he may secure the title
to the property. In his quest he is
bold as DR.. Hyde and as resource
full. The prosecuted lady finally
falls sick near the home of the hero,
who saves her life at the risk of his
own, and is injured severly in the
scrimage. She nurses him to health
and the usual happens. They are
lovers. Later the william instructs
a negro assistant to shoot the first
person who enters a barn where he
is posted. The william doctor so
enters where he is forced to conseal
himself The darby sees no reason
why he should not obey orders and
shoots the doctor. 1t is we'll worth
seeing, aside from the fact that our
boys and girls are presenting it, to
help the school and parents should
encourage them by their presence.

Among other improvements
now being made in Meade, one
of the best is the L. F. Schulz
macher residence in the north
part of town. The architecture
is ornate and P. ]. Lee is doing

is being wired for electric lights
and power for domestic use, as
washing, sewing and running
fans. A garage will be built at
the rear to accommodate his
automobiles. The location is

much to the fine appearance of
that part of town.

The Electric Light Plant.

Last week the Globe made a
slight mistake by some means,
as to the condition of progress
on the electric light plant. 1t
stated that the project had fallen
through. The franchise expir-
es sometime in July. The COM
pany have on hand the poles
and some other material. A car
more is to arrive during this
week. Contracts for wiring are
being secured and one or two
have been finished and others
commenced. Mr.. Schnhmacher's
new house will be wired as soon
as the above mentioned car of
material arrives. Local capital
guarantees the success of the
enterprise.
The delay has been caused pri-
marty by failure to get material
shipped, and also because the
plans have been changed, and
the plant will have more power
than was at first contemplated,
There is no tagging, but on the
contrary the plant will be better
than promised and it will be
pushed forward as fast as mater
ial and men can be secured to
drive it. 1t is one of the need
ed improvements of Meade. 1t
is a Meade enterprise. Get be-
hind it and push. Meade is the
town which grows but does not
boom. This is only one of the
good branches growing as fast
as is CONSTANT with permanency
