AtRest.

The bugle has again sounded and
this time S. c. Sumpter has answered
to the last roll call.
Samuel c. Sumpter was born in
Sangman county Illinois, March 20,
1S43 and died July 4th, 1911, at
the home of his daughter, Mrs.
Ira Scott, in this city. Apo
plexy was the cause of his death.
He was left an orphan at an early
age. On the goth day of July 1S61, he
enlisted in the Northern army as a
Private under Captain Modesto ].
Green, in Company c Eleventh Reg
iment of Missouri infantry volun-
teers and served for three years,
being discharged on January first,
1864 at Lagrange, Tennessee. In
1864 he again enlisted and served
in the gaurd service IN the south for
two years, being again discharged in
1886.
On September 10th 1868 he was
married to Miss Mary Elizabeth
Darniell. Seven children were born
to this union, thee boys and four
girls.
In 1861 the family moved to Cow
ley county Kansas, and in the fall
of 1886 moved to Meade county
where they have since resided. Mr..
Sumpter was member of the Bap-
tist Chur ch in Illinois, but there
being no Baptist Church in the
town in which he located in Cowley
county, he united with the Christian
church, but reunited with the Bap-
tist church in Meade.
Mr.. Sumpter was most highly
respected by everyone who knew
him and it is with much regret that
his many friends will learn of his
death.
The funeral services were held at

The Ball Game.

The 4th of July baseball game
between Meade and Fowler went
to the former by the above score.
The game was slow and much
interrupted by w-angling. The
scoring started in the fourth
when Hines tripled to left scor-
ing on Haywoods' bunt. The
locals however came back strong
IN the last half. Sweet hit through
second, Graves grounded to short
but was safe on a wild throw.
Taggart drew pass filling the
bases, Park then drove a three
bagger to left bringing in three
scores.
In the sixth wild throw al
lowed the visitors one more score
in the last of the sixth Sweet
took first on a dead ball, Graves
walked and the locals scored
twice more when Park doubled
tocenter. In the seventh Snyder
hit to right for two bases, Nc
Meel singled through second and
both scored on Campbells hit to
center. Hits by Hines and Chase
netted the visitors two more runs
in the eighth, while hits by Ella
son and Foster brought in an
other in the ninth. This ended
the scoring.
Both pitchers worked well,
Sweet allowing six hits and the
home team garnering eight off
of Eliason.
The score by inningr:

Bucklin Gains

J, B, Miller and family left
Sunday for Bucklin at which
place they will reside in the
future. Mr.. Miller has been
editor OF The News for the past
year, and has made a record of
which he may we'll be proud, be-
ing one of the best newspaper
men in the west. He has pur-
chased the Bucklin Banner and
there is no question but what he
will make it a success. The
family have many friends here
who regret very much to see
them leave. Meade's loss is
surely Bucklin's gain.

Important Businesss Deal Closed

Contracts were signed this week,
under which the general stock owned
by J. f. Safer & Co., becomes the
property of the Southwest Depart
ment stores Co., the same firm by,
which the Stevens Dry Goods Store
is owned. The plan now is to cut
an archway between the two stores
and thus connect the two. The new
firm will not take possession until
August 25th. They Will all be under
the same management making large
general store occupying the entire
Odd Fellows Masonic building. o.
r. Stevens informs US that they ex-
pect to make it the best store pos
sible and stock as large as the busi-
ness will justify. In the meantime
J. +. Shafer & Co., will have clear
duSC odtC III OiuCI W ICuuCC IHC
stock which he now has on hand.
The Stevens Dry Goods Co., ex-
pect to have Opening Sale at time
of Meade County Fair.
Mr.. Shafer expects to go on the
road for the same wholesale house
for which he formerly travelled.
Mr.. Shafer is a first class business
man and since coming to Meade has
built up good trade While we
welcome the new firm we regret very
much to see Mr.. Shafer going out of
business.
We are not advised as to whether
they will continue their residence in
Meade, but trust they will.

Died

Thos. Farrell, Rock Island
agent at this place, died at the
home OF his brother in Adair,
Iowa, June 80, 1911, of heart
trouble. Mr.. Farrell has been
in failing health for more than a
year, but only few months ago
he gave up the station here and
sought different climate, think
ing that it might benefit his
health.
For the past 4 years Mr.. Far
rell has been a most faithful en-
ployee of the Rock Island r Il
here and a man in whom the
Officials of the room had unlimit-
ed confidence. No agent at the
Meade station has ever given
better service to the pataons of
the Office or been more highly
resdected by them and the com
munity at large than Thomas
Farrell. At his work or else
where, he was the same honest,
upright citizen, in every respect
a man who had been weighed and!
not found wanting.
Some two months ago the fam
lily were sent for and went imme-
diately to Adair at which place
they have since remained.
Mr.. Farrell is survived by his
wife and four sons, Thomas,
William, Roy and Earl and by
one brother and two sisters.
The funeral services where
held Monday at the Catholic
Church in Adair, Iowa.
The family have the sympathy
of their many friends in their
bereavement.
We are not informed whether
or not the family will return to
Meade.

M. & M. DRUG co.

strumental music and moving
pictures, was rendered to a
packed houre, every seat in the
house was occupied and MANY
were compelled to remain stand
ing during the program.
The first number was selec-
tion by Won Prosky's Ban d i.
Everybody knows the BOYS plav
first class so further comment is
unnecessary.
Following this number, Mr..
o. h. Stevens delivered a short
address. This was done in his
usual pleasing and able manner,
The applause which followed
proved that his address was
fully appreciated.
Next the audience was delight
fully entertained by vocal solo
by Miss Lucille Leach. She has
a we'll trained voice and her solo
J was well received.
Miss Gladys Buis next enter
tained the audience with piano
solo. Miss Buis rendered her
solo in her usual able manner.
Sloss sisters were not pres
ent, so their number had to be
omitted.
The moving pictures at Phelps
Opera House never fail to please.
IheV were none the less popular
on this occasion.
Miss Sena Eliason rendered
her solo in her usual pleasing
manner Miss Eliason has a good
well trained voice and sings well.
Her solo was duly appreciated.
Prof. Won Prosky with Miss
Carrie White as accomplishment
entertained with a violin solo.
The applause alone would indi-
cate that everyone was pleased.
The Meade Ladies Band, next
appeared. From the applause
and the favorable comments
afterward, their mum Der was well
received.
The Male Ouartette, composed
of Messrs John Sweet, Roland
Paul, Ben Marshall and Francis
Backe, next appeared. Their
number was most pleasant sur
prise to everyone. Their first
number was exceptionally good
and the encore proved even
better. Along with Meade's
other musical organizations, she
now has a male quartette, of
which she may also well be proud.
There is no question about it, the
boys do fine. Miss Laura Mac
key was not present so it was
necessary to omit her number.
The Black Art speciality and
the selection by Won Prosky's
Band were omitted owing to the
fact that the evening was warm
and the program was already
long, so with the selection by the
Male Quartette the evenings en-
tertainment was completed.
A large number remained for
the ball which followed.
Throughout the entire day all
moved off in order. The day |
was fine, in fact, had it been
a special order it could not have
been better. Meade is indebted |
to one organization for the sue
cess of the day and to that organ
ization is all credit most Justly
due-Von Prosky's Band.

The Fourth At Meade

The Sunrise Salute was the
commencement of one of the
most successful celebrations
ever pulled off at Meade.
Next came the Caluthumplan
parade, in which Won Prosky's
band was the most prominent
feature. The boys were certain
ly "dressed up" J, f, Roberts
won the pictures given by Gerow
Studio.
The Opera House restaurant
float, and the representation OF
the Meade Fire Departent 'are
also deservingof special mention.
The next attraction was the
ball game between Meade and
Fowler, in which Meade carried
off the honors by score of 7 to 5.
Nearly five hundred people wit
messed the game.
Immediately after the ball
game theraces took place and the
winners were as follows:
