Light Plant Assured

At meeting of the city coun-
ell last Tuesday night the ordi-
nance granting a franchise to the
Meade Light and Power Com
pany was passed. This was all
the company asked of Meade
and the plant is assured
The ordinance requires the
plant to be in active operation
within ninty days, and the pro-
moters will rush construction as
fast as possible.
1t seems to be the opinion of
nearly everyone that the council
acted wisely in granting the
franchise, and all are pleased at
the prospect of having electric
light and power at an early date.
The rate here is but very little
higher than in places many times
as large and even then the light
will prove cheaper than the gas
oline lights when the up-keep is
considered.
AS power electricity is cheap
er than gasoline as there is nc
time lost in starting or stopping.
A moter requires no attention
whatever and is perfectly steady
power.
This is only one of the many
things Meade needs to keep pace
with the country, but will be a
great help in bringing the other
needed enterprises.
Watch Meade grow.

Prof. Nipple did not make a
balloon ascension as scheduled,
owing to a serious accident to
his balloon. The wind was too
strong to admit filling the bag
until late in the evening and even
then had not subsidized sufficient
ly to do so in safety. However,
Prof. Nipple, with his usual dar-
ing made a desperate effort to
accomplish this feat, and for a
while it seemed he would sue
ceed. The bag was almost ready
to cut loose when a sudden gust
of wind struck it throwing it
against one of the supports, tear
ing a great hole in the side.
The command was given to
'1et'er go" and the balloon shot
into the air distance of proba-
bly, 200 feet where another
strong gust of wind struck it
splitting it open from top to
bottom. The damage to the bal
loon will amount to a considerable
sum and there was much disap-
pointment, Prof. Wipple being
one to feel it most keenly owing
to the financial loss entailed, as
well as the feeling of having
made failure at a time when
success seemed certain.

1t May Happen.

Fowler has large hopes for an
electric light and ice plant.
Fowler is the busiest town in
the county of Meade, and may
some day become the seat of
county government. Liberal
News.
Tut, tut, Mr.. News man, don t
say it so loud. Fowler has fully
intended to spring that some
day; did't want Meade to find it
out so soon 1t has not been
very long though since a Meade
man offered to bet that Fowler
would be the county seat some
day.
The above clipping from the
Fowler Gazette is part true and
part wind, Fowler is a good
town, has lot of pushing busi-
ness men, ambitious, soci-
able and who take delight in do
ing all possible for any business
in the town. The News is proud
of Fowler as one of Meade coun-
tvs typical communities. The
only mistake Fowler has made
in the past is to go too fast and
drop back. This is called to
mind by the mention of it's some
time being the county seat.
That is so old, 50 musty. But it
was the last talk of Fowler when
she lost her grip before. Go on;
build the ice and electric light
plants, do all other things which
pay, and do not fail to let the
world know of them. But do
not get the idea that yon are the
universe. Cne of the faults, and
the ear mark of provincialism,
is just the habit of thinking
the world centers in your COM
munity. 1t is not good sign of
continued growth. To illustrate.
Forty years ago we heard a
school teacher in northwest
Missouri, ask a pupil just begin
ming geography, what is the
largest city in the United States?
He replied St. Joe.

Sale Day a Success

The Farmers Sale Day at
Meade last Saturday was well
atteuded and the general I'M
preston cleaned from the mer-
chants of town is that it was a
decided success. The day was
not favorable, which perhaps
kept many away who would have
came. The News intended to
publish interviews with the lead
ino business men of Meade in re-
cares to this proposition, but
lack of time forbids. Suffice to
say toat all who were seen were
of the opinion that the event was
a good drawing card and each
expressed belief that he had
received individual benefits.
Two farmers told one OF our
leading business men that they
were surprised to find the stocks
carried here; were we'll pleas
ed with their treatment at the
hands of the merchants, and in
tended making Meade their reg
ular trading point in the future.
The sales amounted to $1,000,
which is considered good.
il. Stamper was the only auc-
tioneer called to officiate. Each
person had the right to choose
their auctioneer and it speaks
well for the standing of Mr..
Stamper that every one present
desired his services.
These sale days are to become a
regular monthly feature at
Meade, and announcement Of the
next will appear in due time.
The failure of the balloon as
cension was great disappoint-
ment to all but was unavoidable.
Won Prosky's band made ex-
cellent music and Judging from
the remarks overheard it was
much appreciated,

One likes to be commended BY
an employer if ones work is
good. Hence a letter from Mr..
Emo who advertised in The
News for land in Meade county
having been more than success
ful in the business for which he
advertised, writing to that effect
pleased The News very much.
In fact The News ads brings re-
suits and our patrons are well
pleased with the News as a
medium to secure patronage.

Some people and papers Just
naturally have atendency to "slop
over" on all occasions. To read
personals in some papers one
would be led to believe that
many persons mentioned were
second cousins to the Almighty
and in the course of a year or so
were likely to succeed Him.
Such slush and downright lies is
disgusting to the person who is
informed as to the real character
of the lauded individual.
We wish to give our hearty en-
dorsement to the above, from
last weeks Globe. There are no
other papers which sin so cou-
stantly in this particular as the
partisan press. The things
published by the partisan press
inclulng the country papers,
about those whom the paper for
it's own benefit, or that the party
or faction of the party to which
it belongs, passes the line of
com plimentary, and goes on to
the degree of lying deliberately
and for apurpose in many cases.
When a paper apologies for and
defends an official who has serv-
ed himself and his friends with
more zeal than he has the pub
lie, and enriched himself and
friends at the public expense,
it is disgusting thing to find
his party paper defending him
for the simple reason that it or
its friends and partisans have
benefited by the plunder. We
have known cases where coun-
ty official missed the pen by a
hairs breadth, to be defended in
his course, and lauded to the
skies by his party paper in the
county.

BREED THEATER.
Convict No. 7s6, Magnificent Featurs
Picture.

The large audience at the Breed
theater witnessed the splendid bill of
high grade motion pictures last even
ing under new and the most satisfac-
tory conditions. for Manager McNulty
has had his picture screen moved
eight feet farther back on the stage,
and handsomely boxed in with seen
cry fats. This means easily the larg-
est picture in the state, it being near
ly thirty feet square, with positively
the nearest approach to absolutely
perfect pictures. The stage is great
ly enhanced by the new setting. and
when the new scenery arrives it will
be second to no other picture house in
this vicinity.
The feature picture Convict No
7e6, is indeed a life portrayal and tells
one of the most powerfully emotional
stories of the day, and with the ex-
ceedinsly appropriate music that ac-
companies it. it is q, picture long to
be remem bered as masterpiece of
animated art. There is a thrill of
sanctity about the superb scenes in
the judges house and the scenes in
the penitentiary, and the theater
seems srnitten with absolute silence
during the beautiful scenes
The Marked Timetable is the Bio
graph story and is a great novelty, it
being a story OF a mothers devotion
TO her hayward son, with some re
markable and unsua1 scenes.

THE AUDITORIUM.

Even before the house has closed the
work has begun on the improvements
for next season at this popular little
playhouse This morning a gang of
carpenters and laborers under the eff
ffcient supervision of G. Bishop Church
started to tear out the old coat room
TO make way for the new stairway
which will lead to the balcony, thus
making an exit on each side of the
house from upstairs. This is but ope
of the many new alterations which
will be made for next season. Any
person entering the Auditorium upon
its reopening in August will think they
are in a new house, and the Auditori-
um's reputation for cleanliness and
comfort will grow stronger The last
change of pictures occurs today and
they are the best vet. Even the splen
did comedy bill for Wednesday and
Thursday will be surpassed by todays
subjects. All the popular makes are
here-Imp-, Bison, Eclair and others
that you like, go to make up the last
programme of the season. The popu-

Among the toplines of the circus
profession today may be found the
Riding Rooneys, bareback experts. The
In the realm of the arena, and the
public seems never TO tire of watch
ing their performance. Their work
borders upon the marvellous; in fact,
some of the attachments are of such
complex difficulties that their best
tricks frequently pass with but little
more notice from the public than their
simpler displays. because the audi
ence can follow its intricate and per-
picking paradox.
The genius and dexterity of the
Riding Rooneys frequently brings
forth loud, spontaneous applause from
their fellow performers. who, like the
public. never grow weary of their adj
nirable act. The Great Adam Fore
paugh and Sells Brothers Big United
Shows are noted for fine and brilliant
costumes, but there is no better dress
ed act or more pleasing and attractive
performance for the feminine portion
Of the circus patrons than that of the
Riding Rooneys- These artists are the
undisputed champions of all they do,
and theirs is one of the most fascinat-
ing circus stunts of the age
The Forepaugh and Sells Brothers
circus will exhibit here soon when the
Riding Rooneys and scores of other
eritorious performers will be seen in
the monster three rings and upon the

ton for producing remarkable sur
