Card Of Thanks.

To the many kind friends of
Meade and Plains who faithfully as
sisted US in the care of our afflicted
one during her suffering after her
fatal accident, and at her death and
burial we wish in this the only way
we have to express our deep graft
tude and great obligation for their
loving care and ministrations. We
were among you practically as
strangers, but your kindly deeds
came to us as freely and faithfully
as they could have done if we had
been your own family. Words fail
to convey our thoughts of gratitude.
The memory of your ministrations,
your unsel6sh helpfulness and loving
Kindness will always remain with
us during life. That no one of you
may ever stand in need of the same
assistance is the prayer of our grate-
full hearts.

and the hide brought So. 90. That
winter settled the heavy production
of beef cattle in the southwest, and
in fact all over Kansas. The ranges
we're swept clean, especially of she
stuff. The farmer cut his produc-
ton of cattle down to the necessary
number to supply the farm with
milk and butter. The ranches
bought steer calves or three year old
steers to use up their feed product.
The expert roper and brander was
out of job. With the exception
of one ranch Meade county has not
had an old time calf branding from
that time to this. Small punches in
favored localities have raised some
calves, but the ranch round up is
thing of the past. 1t takes four
years to put beef steer on the
market, and the ranchers saw clear
ly that with the fine organization
against them, that if they went on
and produced another crop of beef,
there was nothing but the providence
of God which could save them from
the beef trust again taking all of
their profits and for fear they did
not get all scrapping the capital ln-
vested a little.
Yes the beef trust has killed the
Goose which laid the Golden egg,
not alone for them but for all the
manufacturing interests on which
the army of non-producers depend
for wages with which to put meat on
their tables.

day afternoon and played a
double series of games with our
boys returning the same evening
Both series afternoon and eve
ming were won by the home team.
The following named gentlemen
from Englewood participated in
the play, Messrs Roberts, Sny-
der, Alexander, Olive, Pool,
Stone, McHarder, Ellis and
Stevens. The home team was
composed of Leslie, Stamper,
Pierce, Williams and Griggs.
The total scores were as follows:
Englewood, afternoon series,
1914, Meade 2085. Evening
series, EnglewOod 1871, Meade
2012. 1t will be seen by the total
score that no phenomenal scores
were made but there was just as
much or perhaps more fun in the
games. And after all that's what
they were playing for. The
EnglewoOd boys said they had q
good time and we hope they did.
They are a gentIemanly lot Of
fellows and We hope they win

Condition OF Wheat.

We have been enquIring OF
farmers from all parts of the
county as to the condition of the
wheat. In the extreme south
part of the county some say that
the early wheat is injured by the
winter, the same statement as to
the condition of the early sowing
of wheat was made by person
from the extreme north part of
the county. From many old
wheat raisers scattered over the
county In all directions we get
the information that the wheat is
all right. After talking with
many we reached the conclusion
that the talk of early wheat be-
ing injured came from the fact
that it had killed by frost at the
top as wheat with a large fall
growth always does. That is
no injury to the plant and it
comes on with renewed vigor
with the first warm days. The
later seeding is every where re-
ported in fine shape while the
latest, that which caught the
drill in the field when the early
freeze came is said to be sprout-
ed and in perfect form. On the
street last Saturday we met E.
f. Sweet of south of Fowler, a
good wheat grower and careful
farmer, one that observes closely
and asked him what he had to
say of the wheat prospects. His
reply was that he had examined
none but his own fields. That
the early seeding was alright,
the second in good shape and the
last all that could be asked of
late sown grain. That the best
he had and that which seemed to
be in perfect form was that seed
ed on ground where there was
the most trash. The stubble.
litter, etc, had held the snow,
shaded the ground from hard
freezing and thawing and in
every way seemed in the best
condition. The ground which
had been worked down smooth
had been exposed to all the
changes of the weather and had
to an extent suffered from it but
that every where the stand was
good and the plant in perfect
condition considering the time
at which the seeding was done
and the pains taken with prepar-
ing the ground.

A. E. Norman of Wheeling,
Missouri, who bought the E. w.
Jenkins farm of lis acres for
$5,000.00 is personal friend of
]. r. Graves. From Mr.. Graves
we learn that Mr.. Norman was
very well pleased with the coun-
try and the town. So much so
that he bought another tract of
100 acres norm of Plains and eX-
poets to make further purchases
of Meade county arms. Mr..
Norman is an extensive real
estate owner, having farms in
Missouri, Alabama and also in
the west, but he is so well pleas
ed with Meade. its people and
general surroundings, climate
and social opportunities, that he
proposes to make his home
among us. He has placed his
home farm in Missouri on the
market and within the year will
come to Meade, erect a residence
in town and one for his farmer
on the jenkins place, then with
phone connections manage his
alfalfa business south of town
and his other business from his
home. We wish to say for the
encouragement of our citizens
that Mr.. Norman was first at
tracted to the town by its evi-
dences of push, cement walks,
schools, churches, water works
and business enterprise. Such
things always attract desirable
,men who settle in the town and
help to increase It's business
1alue and benefits It's social life. |

Meade Wins From Fowler.

Meade High School defeated
the Fowler town team in warm
game of basket ball last Satur-
day evening.
The Fowler team were the
first to warm up. At S:15 the
Meade team we're led from the
dressing room by the official
score-keeper and warmed up by
the coach Roy Farrell.
At $50 prompt the game start
ed, r. Boucher started the game
off on a free goal, Innis was the
next to score by making a grand
stand goal.
The game was very exciting
for the remainder of the first
half and the half ended, the score
stood 7 to 5 in favor of Meade.
After 10 minutes intermission
the game was again going. For
a time the Fowler boys were in
the air but soon were in thegame
again but it was too late, Meade
was in the lead and could not be
caught. The score at the end of
the second half was 19 to IS in
favor of Meade.
Innis seemed to be in very good
condition but Campbell had hard
luck at throwing goals. McMeel
Perkins and Fee did some great
work for the home team. Burg

Fowler team. Boucher Bros. at

Obituary.

Death on Sunday closed the tradgey
begun three weeks before when Miss
Grace 4. Fish was so badly burned
by an explosion cf coal oil. The
accident so terrible, shocked the en-
tire county and to many friends of
Miss Fish seemed to be too awful to
be true. While to her relatives,
father, mother, brothers and sisters
it was many times more heart render
ing than sudden death. Medical
aid came at once and the ladies of
the city came to help with kind
hands and loving hearts, but all
without hope for II was realized by
all that death was the inevitable
end. Her parents came from their
home north of Plains, and her broth
ers, one from Kansas City, and one
from Colorado and remained with
her to the end. Two brothers of
MIR. Fish also came to be of such
service as was possible, and with
sorrowing hearts to comfort as much
as their presence and love could
their brother and his stricken family.
Grace E. Fish was born in Linn
county Kansas ON April 9Th, 1893,
and died at S p. m. on February
I3th, 1910. The funeral was from
the Methodist church conducted by
Rev. G. W. Baker. A profuslon of
flowers on tae casket testified to the
thoughtful love of friends and rela
tives. The members of the Meade
High School, classmates of Miss
Fish attended In body led by their
Miss Anna Johnston and
occupied seats Immediately behind
the relatives. A great concourse of
sorrowing friends attended the fami-
y to the Graceland cemetery where
all that was mortal of a loving
laughter, devoted sister and faithful
friend was laid to rest, waiting the
md of time.

How soon are ones friends in
life ready to seize ones accumuIat-
ed wealth after death has claimed
the body!
With S. o. Chinn scarcely cold in
his grave out in an isolated plot in

life he left in the world.

a couple of weeks ago up at the
Deaconess hospital from the effects
of weeks of starving in the city
jail, where beliefs that may easily
be called radical and dictates of
tiles, lead him.
This is the man whose property
a half dozen pairs of hands are
now stretching out in eagerness to
snatch up for themselves, so they
say. Hardly have 9. Q. Chinn' s
relatives learned of his departure
from a torturous life, than men
and women who remained away
and unheard of while this man was
suffering from sickness and in
need. come forward with tears and
mocking snifflings and claims of
relationship, with seemingly no
other mission than to learn the
extent of his accumulations of
wealth and his estates. 1t is said
by men who were the friends of the
deceased for years and who re-
NAMED at his side till he died,
Chinn would be at loss to recall

tives were he to rise again from
the grave.
Oh, yes, S. o. Chinn was an l.

worthless element because of his
associations and his strange belief,
but he was industrious and sober

GANDER SAVES GIRLS LIFE

NEW YORK, April s.
Pete" an old gander which
has been on the farm of Abner
Stilton of Montville, N. j., for
more than 10 years, and which
has acted as nurse to the Still
ton youngsters, was killed by
an automobile while protecting
Mr.. Stilton's 2-year-old daugh-
ter, Agnes, from harm.
When little Agnes was threat
ened by the automobile, just
rounding the turn at a lively
clip, old Pete" seeing the dan
ger to his little charge, pushed
the child over, throwing her on
the side of the road and out of
harms way. pete" had not
time enough left to get out of
the way himself. Mr.. Stilton
took his pet gander to taxid-
ermist at MOntclair and will

KEENAN, s
FINDINGS A
SC0RCHER

Judge Henry L. KEENAN, today
signed the findings of fact and con-
illusions of law in the Sprague ave-
nue. fill case in which he holds that
the fill collapsed because the plans
were defective and would not
stand; that said plans were pre-
pared in the office of the city en-
gineer, and that the engineer had
approved the work as it went along
and allowed estimates thereon, that
the contractors had performed their
work in accordance with the con-
tracts. wherefore, the blame and
liability rests entirely with the
city. ttsf.-
The written findings of the court
are even more conclusive against
the city and Engineer Ralston than
were the verbal findings first de-
1ivered from the bench The at
torneys for the various parties at
interest in the case will now prob
ably plead the findings of Judge
KEENAN, in all future cases.

Recognition has been accorded
the two federal unions and the
teamsters by the North Coast rail-
way in the erection Of the termin.

the franchise is passed and the

these unions were omitted, and a

Building labor organizations were
not thoroughly satisfied with Stra-
horns first pledges to the union
men, as his promises to hire union
workmen in the preparations and
construction of his new railroad
did not embrace all of them. CON
sequently he made a new written
pledge to all building trades affil-
lated with the Sectional Central
Labor council and both federal
unions April !, which embraces
every union concerned in such
work.
Aside from these two unions, it
is announced this morning that the
Timers local, No. PIP, also took
action on the franchise matter last
night which is favorable for the
railroads side of the fight.
