Plains Will Have A Prospect
Hole.

Mr.. Paul, commissioner from the
third district is aSitating the propo-
sition of drilling a deep hole at
Plains to learn what the earth may
contain for depth of from 1000 to
5000 feet. The plan is to raise
several thousand dollars, as much
as $40, 900. 90 for this purpose and
get drill of sufficient power to
make the hole that deep. The hope
is that a strong flow of artesian
water may be obtained with the
possibility of finding gas, oil or
coal. We would be pleased to see 4
drill sunk to that depth there, for
what may be found under the grass
roots no one knows. There is how
ever no surface indications of any
one of the things mentioned being
found there, but the knowledge of
the under conditions is worth the
expenditure of some money. The
News wishes the enterprise success.

Grandpa Fletcher has a COW
which should be in the prize
class, and we will at least give
her honorable mention. During
the last passed 3 years he has
sold to the Southern Hotel from
this COW 100000 worth of milk.
In addition he has supplied his
own family of three with butter
and milk as well as furnishing
milk for other parties. This
COW is not a thoroughbred, but
comes of three good milk breeds
beng one half Durham, one
fourth Jersey, and one fourth
Holestine. She has had extra
good care and feed. Always
being kept in cold or stormy
weather in a warm barn and fed
with bright alfalfa hay and
ground feed.

to this county in 1885. Meade

years they are comfortably fixed,
three of their children near them,
the others scattered from Mime

health doing their life work as USE

This is not glittering record but
is one to be proud of. This Nation

wide swath in attracting attention,
out OF those VINO faithfully and con-
scientiously do their duty day by

ly to be useful citizens have done
their time and country an inestima-
BILE service. while the one which ac-
cumulates a great amount of wealth
has usually accomplished it by more
or less injury to their fellow man,
generally left trail of suffering and
injustice behind them, comparable
with the amount of riches they have
been able to squeeze out of those
with whom they came in contact.
The many friends of Mr., and Mrs.
Ellis wish them all the joys of this
life and at least so more wedding
anniversaries.

too far away to be with his faith

Captain Hudson was borne in
Boone county, Ind, on Septem-
Der %, 1887, being at the time of
his death 70 years, three months
and 20 days old. His early life
was spent in his native state,
where he reached sufficient
degree of prominence to be twice
elected county treasurer of
Boone county. Later he moved
to Iowa, where he met and mar
ried Miss Sarah F. Brown, at
Pella, on August IS, 1865. Com
ing to Kansas in March, 1888, he
first located at Anthony, going
later to Meade county. While
living there he served three
terms as probate judge of Meade

since. Besides his wife, Captain
Hudson leaves to mourn his loss

county. A strong man in build,

son as he was always known
here, was a leading man in the
councils of the men interested in
forwarding the material interests
of the county. He was the
second elected Probate Judge of
the county, and the first one
elected at regular election for
the full term, and held the office
three terms. While in office the
hard times of the exodus we're
upon us, and his kindlyness of
heart, kept constant drain up
on his income, and his hand was
open to help the needy when he
was actually straitened in his
own expenses. A hard luck
story from some homesteader,
always opened his purse, even
after such liberality had depict
ed its contents. Flour, groc-
cries, and in one instance team
were the usual forms in which
his benefactions reached the
needy.
A republican, and natural
politician, as well as partizan, he
planed carefully for success, and
constantly guarded the APP
proaches to official position in
the country. Such men always
have warm friends, and active,
