Want New Mail Route.

For some time there has been
a demand for a star mail route
between Meade and Englewood,
and prospects that it will be es-
tablished are good.
Jim Stamper, S. M. Dorland
and Mayor S. D. Adams went to
Englewood Wednesday in Al.
Summers car to circulate a petit
ton at that end of the line. One
was left at Lakeland at which
point the route would touch.
The News is pleased to see
this move. If the route IS estab-
lished it will mean much to both
Meade and Englewood, besides
providing daily mail delivery for
every farmer living on the route.
With the present mail arrange
ments these two towns are almost
without mail communication, as
letters have to travel so far that
for business purposes the time
taken to get a reply to letter
written mrkes it very unsatis-
factory. There is no reason
why the proposition should not
have the assistance of everyone
in or between the two towns.

However we sent one to the criti-

VonProsky's in LimeIight

The bands of central and west
ern Kansas may hold great
band contest in Hutchinson this
spring.
There are brass bands in most
of the towns in that part of the
state. There is a good deal of
rivalry among them and a con-
test has been brewing for some
time.
A couple of weeks ago the
Spearville band issued chal-
lenge to any band in any Kansas
town of less than 5000 to con-
test. Won Prosky's band, of
Meade, comes forth now with an
acceptance of the challenge.
A number of other bands, at
Liberal, Pratt, Dodge City, Kins-
ley, Great Bend and other points
have also perked up and taken
notice of these challenges.
Hutchinson is the central point
for such contest. The big new
ampitheatre at Riverside park to
be completed this spring will be
an ideal location to hold such a
contest.
1t is proposed that an invita-
ton be extended all the bands OF
central and western Kansas to
come to Hutchinson and pull of
great contest here this spring.
If the proposition is accepted
arrangements will be made tc
put up cups and cash prizes, SC
that it will be worth while for the
bands to come here. 1t IS very
likely that ten or dozen bands
from as many KANSAS towns
would come to Hutchinson tc
participate in such an event.

Big Time at Caldwell

Thursday night January %,
1911, will GO down in the history
of Caldwell Lodge, l76, l. o. o.
F., as the most important event
since its organization. That date
had been set apart for the dedl-
cation of their new hall, one of
the finest in the state of Kansas.
The building is of two stories,
60x120 feet, built of brick, sur
faced with PAYERS. Two store
rooms below. The lodge room
is 47x65; dining hall, 21x50,
kitchen, toilet rooms, closets, re-
ception room, store room, ante
room and commodious hall ways.
Nicely finished and comfortably
furnished; the hall floor is cov-
cred with battle-shIp linoleum,
with lifetime of wear.
There were present for the
dedication Grand Master Roney,
of Washington; Deputy Grand
Master Lilly. of Wichita; Briga-
dier General o. r. Stevens, of
Meade, and Mrs. White, Vice
President of the Rebekah AS
sembly.
Brigadier General Stevens,
commander OF the p. M. Army
of Kansas, who, in normal con-
dition, is one of the most delight
full speakers of the order in Kan
sas, was suffering the effects of
a very severe cold and conse'
quently hoarse as a fog-horn,
was called insistently and tried
to tell us chow glad he was tc
be there" Gen. Stevens is q

boys, from the chevalier in the

The matter will be presented
to the Commercial club tonight,
and formal invitation will, it is
expected be issued by the club
welcoming the bands to Hutch
inson for such an event.
"The Hutchinson bandsman
will be glad to take hold of such
proposition and make it big
event." said Albert Lander, busi-
ness manager of the Hutchinson
band. "If anything is to be
done well be ready to push it
through"
at would be a great thing and
am sure the musicians of Hutch
inson would be glad to welcome
the bandsmen of the state here
to such an event." said Chas.

Changed Its Name.

The Meade Dry Goods Com
pany is no more.
At it's last meeting the State
Charter Board authorized the
above company to change its
name to The Stevens Dry Goods
Company, and the change has
been made.
The reason given for the
change is that there are so many
companies in town which carry
the name of the town that there
is often confusion in mail. ex-
press and freight, and in the
payment of bills. Many persons
writing an address on letter or
package simply write the name
Meade and follow with a series
of crooked marks makes it hard
to distinguish just which Meade
company it is intended to reach.
The management and policy
of the store remains as before,
and the firm will continue tc
merit the nice patronage it has
on loved.

three or four men use tobacco.
None of the others use it in

the use of tobacco is discouraged
by the church to which most OF
the German farmers of that dis
trict belong. Hutchinson News

putting new wall in a sixty-foot

desperate fist fight while at the
bottom of the well.
Two men outside witnessed
the battle, but neither felt lnclin-

fighters. Finally one spectator
tied a pair of pot hooks to the
well rope and 6shed them out
AS the latter began his ascent
Minton jerked off his shoe and
hurled it at his wriggling adver-
sary. Foster in turn bid Minton
adieu by throwing tobacco in his
face.

sets Introduced Reciprocity
Bill Which Passed House at
Last Session.

Washington, April 5.-Called in ex-
traordinary session by President Taft
to consider the question of Canadian
reciprocity, which failed in the last
session because of a filibuster against
it in the senate, the sixty second con-
gress was called to order at noon yes
terday.
In spite Of the fact that the procla-
nation issued by the president, men,
toned nothing except reciprocity, and
that his message to the special ses-
sion, it is expected. will be likewise
circumscribed. most ambitious pro-
gramme has been outlined.
The session, because of the anomal-
GUS situation created by one party be-
ing in control of one branch and its
. rival in power at the other end of the
capitol. is expected to be long and fill
ed with turmoil and political biciSer-
ings.
! A cold dLizzling rain. which fell
throughout the forenoon, apparently
had no effects whatever on the people,
and one hour before the session open
ed the galleries were filled and long
lines stretched down the corridors,
waiting for a chance to get in. Tho

The Mccall reciprocity measure was
referred TO the democratic committee
on ways and means, where it will be

which he elaborated on the Legislature

democratic caucus. The threat to

on the tariff bills holds no terror for
many senators opposed to reciprocity

afternoon.
