Sunday TRAINED, Monday started
out like it intended to be a
regular old time March day, but
before night the weather man
changed his mind and sent some
snow, possibly d delayed ship
ment of a former order, Tuesday
was real summary sort of day,
followed by cooler weather We'd

has been so changeable all dur

say what kind of weather we will
have before the sun sets to-day.
Last Friday, Tolbert ]. Right
was brought to- Meade by John
A. Cole, Frank Carleson, and S.

charge. An examination proved
the charge correct. Judge Ran

the State Board of Control and
is waiting for reply. Mr..

claim ncrth of John Coles place.
He has a wife and one child.
His parents live in Beaver coun-

The Lyric Entertainers, APP
peared last Thursday evening at
the Opra House. This conclud-
ed the lyceum course here for
this year. A good sized audience
greeted the entertainers, but
through some fault of the Bureau
the original trio contracted for
were not sent, and as result
the entertainment was not as good
as it otherwise would have been.
However a number OF excellent
numbers were rendered. and no
blame was atteched to those in
charge for its inferior quality as
the ladies of the Club contracted
for first class numbers only, and
they were more disappointed
than any one. The course this
year was an unusually expensive
one, and the ladies' are to be
complimented on their efforts to
make it a success. We under
stand that the Arena Club will
not undertake the securing of
course next year, for various
reasons.

of Wyman occurred earlier.
DIR. w f. Boos, a chemist, who an-
alyzed the stomach of the dead man
gave it as his opinion that death had
occurred between 1.30 +. M and :
p M.

barge, told of last seeing Capt. WY
man alive at dinner. at Il o'clock. and
of then taking his trick at the wheel
