This is the last of the four applications which were received shortly after the elimination was announced and which were filed away ahead of any of the others. The fact that these four appli. time led to charges of collision with the officials and was the cause of much controversy at the time.

The Grand Lodge Knights of
Pythias held its annual session
at Wichita last week and elected
officers for the ensuing year,
Frank S. Sullivan of Meade was
elected Grand Vice Chancellor,
which is the second highest Of
flee in the Grand Domain. There
were four candidates, one from
Kansas City, one from Colfey-
vile and one from Tribune, but
Meade won out, as it always
does. This is ii signal honor,
and one that is seldom bestowed
upon town no larger than
Meade. Mr., Sullivan is consid-
cred one of the best ritualists in
the state and his promotion
comes as a reward of merit.
The 1916 convention will be held
at Manhattan, at which time and
place Mr.. Sullivan Will no doubt
be promoted to the highest Office
in the gift of Kansas Pythians.

Contract Awarded

AS advertised, the contract
for the erection of the new
school building was let last Sat-
urday, the Staney-Nackey Con-
struction Co., of Hutc hinson, be-
ing the successful bidders. The
excavation work will begin at
an early date.
The contract calls for $14, ,967,
and includes only the building,
the plumbing and heating and
the furnishing being extra items.
With reference to these it must
be remembered that the furnace
in the old building will be used
and that the only extra expense
will be the plum biug in the new
building and an additional boiler
to the present furnace. Relative
to the furniture, since the grades
are to occupy the new building
it will only be necessary to
transfer the seats and other fur
niture, this will leaye only the
seats in the general assembly
room to be provided, and this
can be arranged for in some sat-
isfactory manner.

Automobile Accident

! Dick Brown threatens to out
class Barney Oldtield, at doing
automobile stunts, and no doubt
will if he does many more like
the following: With Anon
Krisle, Mr.. Brown was working
on the telephone line east of the
city. They had driven out in
the Buick automobile which is
used by the Telephone Co. to
haul supplies etc. in their line
work. The car had been left
just above the hall east of the
bridge, Mr.. Brown was working
from the east toward where the
car had been left, and Mr.. Kris
lie from that point west toward
the city. When Mr.. Brown fin
ished his part of the line, be got
ia the car and was to overtake
Mr.. Krisle, The hill Just bove
the bridge IS quite steep and the
approach is sandy. AS the car
reared the bridge the sand caus-.
ed it to skid to the left. The
car is an old one and there is
considerable "pldy" in the steer
ing wheel, and of this the driver
was not aware, SO as he swung
the car back to the middle of the
road he turned it too far and it
plunged off the opposite side of
the bridge, and into the creek
bed below, depth of fourteen
feet. The car turned complete
ly oyer and Mr.. Brown was
caught beneath it, but fortunate
ly, he came out of the wreck
with only a bruised shoulder
and badly scratched face, but
not so with the car, it suffered
the loss of two front wheels, a
broken axle, twisted steering
gear, a shattered windshield, and
several other minor injuries.
The soft creek bed is response
BILE for Mr.. Browns injuries not
being more serious, for which he,
as well as his friends, is truly
thankful.

Petitions were circulated in
Meade last week for the purpose
of getting additional help on the
deep we'll at Minneola. The
drill is now down more than
three thousand feet and experts
say it will be necessary to go on
ly little deeper, perhaps less
than three hundred feet, until
oil or gas is reached. The well
was started by Bucklin people,
and financed TO depth of 1000
feet by Bucklin capital. Since
then other localities have become
interested and have given finan~
cial assistance. Whatever is
discovered will be help to the
entire southwest. Since the well
is as deep as it is, it seems that
itswill be worth the effort to go
deeper and determine what lies
beneath the Kansas plains. The
experts say that conditions are
very favorable for the finding of
either oil or gas in that locality.
Further developments are await
ed with no little interest.
