cial affairs of the season was the re-
ceptIon given by DR. Decker at the
Schmoker Cafe last Tuesday even
ing in honor of Mrs. Decker who

week. About fifty were present.
Those included in the list of invit-

friends, the Meade Ladies Band.
and the Male Quartette.
Gueste begun arriving about $40
and after an hour of social conver-
sation DR.. Decker delivered a lec-
ture on Osteopathy, which was at
tentively listened to by those pres
ent. Mrs. Fuhr then made short
address which was followed by few
well-chosen remarks by Rev. Bak-
er. The Male Qmartette were call
ed upon and promptly responded.
Their songs we're none the less cat
chy and after an encore they were
released.
Immediately following, refresh

place cards appeared the word
"Osteopathy" printed in gold
The Meade Ladies Band next en-
tertained with several selections

Lightning Strikes Newberrv
Home.

During a rather severe electri.
cal storm last Sunday night, the
residence OF 0. L, Newberry, 10.
Gated on the old Allen Ranch
north of town, was struck bv
lightning. The storm was worst
about midnight and it was at this
hour that the damage was done,
The lightning first struck the
chimney, which it almost COM
pletely destroyed. 1t followed
the roof to the pantry where it
entered the house, tore things up
IN general in the pantry the most
serious damage it did here was
to set fire to can of coil oil,
From the pantry it followed a
saw and square which were lying
on the pantry floor, shot through
the partition and followed over
the iron bed, upon which the Occ-
upants of the house were Sleep
ing, A number of holes were
burned in pair of Mr., Newber-
ry's trousers which were hang
ing on the foot of the bed, met
al top purse which was in one of
the pockets was badly melted.
A number of window lights
were broken and the house shak-
en- up generally. Possibly the
only thing that prevented the
house from burning was that it
was built of cement blocks.
All the damage was done in an
instant and how it happened that
no one was hurt, or more serious
damage done is a something that
cannot be explained, )

The Meade Steam Laundry
Changes Hands

A trade was made this week
by which J. A. Caughlin becomes
the owner of the Steam Laundry
here and Jas. Smith its former
owner, gets a quarter section OF
land south of Meade. We have
not learned what plans have been
made for running the laundry,
but have been informed that it
will not be closed.
Mr.. Smith has successfully
conducted the business for more
than a year and has built up a
good trade. His work has al
ways been satisfactory and he
transfers to the new manage
ment, whoever they may be, a
large number of satisfied custo-
mers. Mr.. Smith informs us
that he expects to engage more
extensively in the meat business.
Mclaughlin has resided south
of town for a number of years
and is we'll known to many of our
people. He will in all probabili-
ty move to Meade and will see to
it that The Meade Steam Laun-
dry is conducted in a manner
that will result in satisfaction to
it's customers, in the future, as
in the past.

Meade County Fair

The Meade County Fair Asso
clatlon committee met Monday
evening. The question before
the meeting was that of making
arrangements for the care OF the
stock entered at the Fair, and
also that of erecting grandstand
at the race track west of town.
1 ne matter was disposed of in
a way no one can critiscize. The
committee voted to secure the
services of p. J. Lee to oversee
the building of the stables and
grandstand, and each member of
the committee agreed to donate
at least one days work, so that
the only expense the Association
Will have to bear is that of the
overseer and material. A force
Will begin work Immediately and
suitable stables for the stock will
beerected
Water will be piped from the
city tank to the grounds so that
any amount of water needed will
be close at hand
Any one feeling so inclined can
donate one days, two DAYS or
weeks work, just as much as
they like and the committee will
not feel offended in the least, in
fact they will appreciate all such
donations, or, if you do mol feel
like going out and working your
self, just hire some one to 90 in
your place, your donation will be
just the same.
Meade County is going to
make a good showing, and every I
thing is being attendedto proper
ly You don't need to worry about
this, that, or the other being ne
elected, there are competent Su-
perintendents at the head of each
department, and they will secure
help to put their de-
partment in proper shape; if YOU
happen to be one of the parties
called upon to render little as
'lstance and you can convenient
y do so, your help will be appre-
'iated, if you can't give any as
'istance that way, you can tell all
your friends and every one else's

Apples VS.. Potatoes

The apple crop in Kansas is
reported good. Perhaps we can

place OF potatoes, since that crop
seems to be short, not only in
Kansas, but in other states as
well.

Monday. The rebel losses are placed at 15 dead and many wounded. Federal losses aie placed by the rebel message at thirty dead.
 The rebel forces which engaged in the battle st La Colorado a ieS da!s ago, evidently split, half going around i west ot Hermo.illo from the south under command of Jesus Rivera. The other half, under command of reoel le der named Loyzien, march ed to the east and north, joining with Juan Cabrsl and 20 mounted rebels who had marched south from Carbo.
 The rebels few days ego ceased cutting the wires on the Southern Pac ic and, instead, are using ma chimes to tap the wires and catch federal messages. The federal gOv- ernment probably understood this condition of affairs and wired decoy messages, which threw the rebels off in their calculations. They were thus trapped with above results,
