CLEANEST
in THE STATE
Such Is The Compliment Paid
To Our City By State Agent
Hartford Insurance. Co.

L. +. Hardy, OF topeka, state
Agent for the Hartford Fire In
surance Company, and also
President of the Kansas State
Fire Prevention Association,
was in Meade Friday and Satur-
day of last week,
Saturday morning Mr.. Hardy
made a trip through the busi-
ness section of our city. His
report was that from his OBJ
servation Meade was the clean
est town in the state, a credit 10
its citizens and to the City Of
ficials, and a model for other
cities to follow
Saturday was cleanup day in
Meade, but the fact that the day
was not far advanced when Mr..
Hardy's inspection was made,
leaves no one cause to say that
the tidy appearance of the back
yards was due to cleanup day;
on the other hand, it'was only
the usual appearance OF Meade's
back yards-the cleanest in the
state. Such compliment, COM
ing from one who visits every
city in the state, certainly means
much to Meade, and ought to
serve as an incentive to every
one within to city limits to do
his share toward maintaining
this high standard of city cleanli-
ness and tidy appearance.
One thing, however, which has
been in measure lost sight of.
is Fire limits ordinance. Such
an ordinance was in force in the
early days, but some twenty
years ago was repealed so as to
permit the erection of iron-clad
buildings within the limits spec
fled in said ordinance.
AS. must be admitted, the num-
ber of frame buildings. especia-
lily in the business district, make
Meade hazardous. True, we
have sufficient supply of water
and fire department capable
of controlling a fire, still we be.
lieve that a Fire Limits ordi-
nance would only be keeping
pace with progress being made
along other lines in Meade.
We are advised that such an
ordinance has already been talk
ed of by our city officials and
no doubt such a one will soon be
in force.
The present is all that's ours,
and now is the time to begin.
Let us all hope that we may
soon have an ordinance in force
prohibiting the erection of frame
buildings within the business
section of Meade.

Neeley's New Trick

to put one over the voters by
means of rather shrewd trick,
originated no doubt by his pro-
fessional political trickster and
dopester, Sam Gray bill.
Neeley's nomination papers,
which.the law requires to be
signed and filed, were circulat-
ed in this county last month.
The report now is that he is hav-
ing additional petitions circulat-
ed, purporting to pledge the
signers to vote for Neeley at the
primary. This petition is some
thing thatis not provided for nor
recognized by law; but Graybill
is cunning enough to know that
tbs no difficult matter to secure
signers to any kind of petition,
and by circulating these petit
tions throughout the state he
can secure thousands of signers,
some of whom would consider
that after signing they were
pledged and obligated to vote
for Neeley. 1t is a truism in
law that fraud vitiates every
thing with which it comes in
contact, and the circulation of
these petitions, being without
the pale of the statute, is spe-
cies of political fraud. None
who have been invegled into sign
ing these pledges need give them
any consideration, as no legal or
moral obligation to vote for Nee
ley is thereby entailed.
Neeley is the candidate urged
upon the people by a gang of
politicians. 1t was the polite
ians, not the people, who put up
the Five thousand Dollar cam
paign tund for Neeley, and
pledged more if it should be
needed. 1t will take more money
than five thousand dollars, and
more votes than those cast by
professional politicians to elect
Neeley to the Senate.
The democrats have plenty of
good material for this high Of
fee. There is Frank Doster,
one of the ablest jurists that
Kansas ever produced, against
whose character, reputation, and
democracy nothing can be said.
There is William F. Sapp, who
as State or National Com mittee-
man has been most active in fur
thering the interests of den ocra-
cy for more than twenty years.
There is Hugh p. Farrelly, the
old democratic war.horse, who
has always been at the service of
his party, and time and time
again has offered himself as a
sacrifice on the alter of his faith,
when his party stood not ghost
of a show of winning. Last but
not least, there is w. l.. Brown
who has always served his party
and his country, both in times of
peace and in times of war, with
zeal, courage, fidelity, and abil-
ity.
That the democratic voters
should turn down men like
these, and nominate Tor United
Senator wind-jamming
four-flusher like Neeley, is in
conceivable. 1t would be polit-
ical suicide, and the democratic !
party has too much work to do
to commit suicide now. and too
work to entrust to a
man the calibre of Neeley, who
spends his time at home build
ing political fences, when Con-
gress is considering the most
questions with which
it has had to deal for half a CEN

beside the bier of their beloved
counsellor and friend, DR.. Eu-
gene c. McMeel, and followed the
remains to the silent graveyard
tenderly consigning them TO the

For number of years rela-

The doctor was born in DELHI,

of his birth he grew to manhood

he wooed and won for his help
mate in life Miss Fannie Scott in
1886 who survives. To this
union one son was born, Joseph,
who departed this life in early
manhood, Septem ber 1906. From
Des Moines the doctor and his
young bride went to Meade,
Kansas, where they remained
for time coming to Delmar in
1883, where they have since re-
sided, except a few years spent
in Lost Nation.
1t was here that his life work
was done and successes attained.
Here he built up good practice
as a physician and enjoyed the

80 YEARS WE'D,
THEY RECOUNT
WAR ROMANCE
Sherman Interrupted Honeymoon
Of Aged Couple Who Celebrate
Anniversary To-day,

Mr.. and Mrs, Marion Gaines to-day
will celebrate the fiftieth anniversary
Of their wedding with the same quiet
hapniness that has marked their lives
since the day Of their marriage,
March 2S, 1864.
The story concerns young Con-
federate soldier, barely more than a
boy, who served valiantly In Lees
Virginia army until late In 1868, when
he was attached to a detail assigned
to duty in Atlanta, whose defenses
needed all the strengthening possible
against the advance of the Federals.
Thus 1t was that Marion Gaines came
to the city where lived Miss Frances
Crawford.
The homes OF Atlanta were open,
with grateful hospitality, to the Con-
federate soldiers, and 1t was inevita-
BILE that young Gaines should meet
Miss Crawford soon after his arrival.
The girl had met many soldiers pc
fore this. but none of them appealed
to her as did the young man from
Maryland.
Courtship Not Long.
Courtships were not long in those
days; the South was in a turmoil: no
man knew from day to day where mis-
lot would lie on the morrow And so
lovers were insistent particularly
young Marion Gaines. Within a
month or two he began to plead his
cause, earnestly The Crawford Ia
Their smiled on the young strangers
suit and himself intereeded with the
daughter.
This young man has a good argu-
ment," said he to the girl. HE may
be sent away at any time, so that Il
you have mind that way 1t wouldn't
be bad to name an early day."
Miss Crawford blushed and pom
dered. WELL" she said in little
while, and named the day.
And so the young man from Mary
land and the young Atlanta girl were
married within FIVE months Of the day
they met, And it happened just in
time, too, because few monthg later
General Sherman and his warriors
came in view, and young Soldier
Gaines was sent to Augusta. His
bride didn't stay at home and cry fol
him, either, but went along as a refu-

w. M. Carter, formerly Of the Car

been denied an electrical contractors
license by City Electrician r. G. Tur-

rs going to openly defy Turner and

of Electrical Control Saturday went
over Turner's head and accepted his
bond, furnished by an indemnity
company, which Turner hitherto has
refused to do, and has authorized him
to go ahead and conduct his business,
regardless OF the refusal Of the City
Electrician to give him license.
Turner, 1t is expected. will make a
case against Carter and have the
matter thrashed out in court. Tur-
ner claims that he refused Carter a
license because the latter refused TO
take an examination before the ex
aiming board, which he insists Is
