Rain to Spare.

Last Sunday afternoon be-
tween two and three o'clock, an
other big rain visited Meade
comfy. About two inches fell in
less than an hour. During the
month of August about five in
ches of rain have fallen in Meade
county, which is a sufficient
amount of moisture to last for
some time, should we fail to get
more, but indications are that we
will have much more during the
remainder of the summer and
coming fall, in which event the
chances for good crop next year
are excellent.

Recital

The recital given by the pu-
pills of Miss Phyllis Fuhr at the
M. E. church last Monday even
ing was certainly a musical treat
for those who were in attendance.
An excellent program was rend-
cred and those who took part did
so IN a manner which reflected
credit upon themselves and their
teacher as well.

Meade Schools

The Meade Public schools OF
Meade will begin this years
work on Monday, September 18th
for a nine month-term.
The building has been re-
modelled and three new rooms
added; two of which were made
from space formerly occupied by
halls, aud one basement room
has been fitted up for the domes-
tic science, which department
has just been added this year.
An excellent heating plant has
Just been installed.
The teachers are as follows:
Principal, Joe N. Hamilton, of
Winfield.
Assistant high school, Miss
Florence Lennon, of Lyons.
Domestic Science, Miss Bertha
Davis, of Manhattan.
9TH and Sth, Mr., VIM Calvert,
Of Hays City.
5th and 9th, Miss Launah
Myers, of Minneola.
,3rd and +th, Miss Leila Davis,
of Bucklin.
1st and 2nd, Miss Ella Baker,
of Meade.
All these teachers have good
certificates and good recommen-
dations and with the cooperation
of parents and close application
on the part OF the pupils to their
studies, ought to result in sue
cessful term. To maintain a
school of this size represents
no small amount of money and
parents should see that their
children are in school every
school day, unless prevented by
sickness, in order that they may
have the advantage of every les
son taught.
The Meade school affords the
advantage of four-year course
and pupils completing this course
may enter college without an ex-
animation.
1t seems that it would be an
excellent idea for the districts
which are near to Meade to con-
solidate with Meade and run a
wagon and in this way give their
children the benefit of the better
schooling. At the end Of nine
years of school work, pupil who
has the advantage of nine-month
term each year is just two years
time ahead of the pupil who has
the advantage of a seven month
term. This much time gained
in the school life OF child is suf-
ficient inducement, to say moth
ing OF the better advantages the
city school affords
Meade county has excellent
district schools and you have on
ly to examine the records of the
Superintendent's Office to be con-
vinced that the teachers are up
to theS standard, but even at
this it would be unreasonable to
expect the district school to com
pete with the city school. For
these, if for no other reasons, all
those who can and especially al
pupils who have completed com
mon school work should plan tc
enter the Meade High School
which opens September IL. 1911

GAMBLERS PLEAD NOT GUILTY

by the grand jury for alleged
violation Of the anti-gambling law.
we're called and Attorney Fowler
of Reno interposed a demurrer in
all three cases, but the same were
overruled. The demurrcrs main
tanned that the court had no
jurisdiction, that the indictments
did not conform with certain
provisions of the Acts regulating
criminal cases, that the grand
jury had had no legal authority,
and that the facts alleged in the
indictments do not constitute a
public offense. Attorney Fowler
entered an exception to the ruling
ofthe court.
upon being asked If the defend
ants desired to answer to the
indictments, Attorney Fowler
entered pleas ot not guilty in all
three cases. and the same will now
be set for trial, which will
probably not be until sometime
in February or March. Judge
Lsngan stated that he could not
set a definite date, as he will be
occupied in Carson on the State
Bank case all through January and

The box set on the counter over a

said to be a professional thief and

GOOD REPORT ON JARBIOGE

The most complete report ever

just been compiled by Dr.. E. r.

portunity for placer miainr along

certain knowledge there are gravel
bars along the river for a distance
of from six to eight miles north Of
town that contain gold. The
gravel along the river may lie
washed anywhere with a recovery
Of from five to twenty colors to
