Meade County News Published every Thursday by NEWS PUBLISHING COMPANY, John D. Wehrle, Editor. Entered in .the Post office at Meade, Kans. as second class mail matter. MEADE, KANS., MAY 3, 1900. Subscription, $1.00 per year. Advertising rates made known on application Locals run"tf." and charged for at 3 cents a. line for each insertion. When you hear men "blowing" about what they are going to do in regard to this and that thing, you can generally win by betting that they are not going to do anything of the kind. The man that succeeds is the one that goes about attending to his own affairs and not telling everybody what he is going to do. There are too many, newspapers in this country that are continually "blowing" about this man and that man, and nearly all of it is done gratis. A newspaper would not think of advertising a man's business unless it was paid for, and we don't think they should advertise the man personally unless he pays well for it, as very often a man wants a paper to say things about him that are not true, and in these cases the newspa per man ought to be doubly paid for lying. A newspaper is supposed to be run in the interest of the masses and not for a few. Major Brown, of the Kingman Journal, says the following in regard to a letter received from a friend asking him why he did not join the Republican party where they appre ciate a good man: way snouia any man wno is posted on the current events of the day want to be a Republican? The party of trusts, the party of imperial ism and opression to the people of the common walks of life in which we were born and where we expect to die. We are not a Populist for office or political honors. We are a Populist because it is right and the only hope, aided by the Democrats of the Bry an school, for our republic. We did not have to be nominated for office to hold us in the party. Our faith in its principals is as strong today as ever and as a worker in the ranks we shall do our whole duty, as much so as if we had been made a stand ard bearer. , Let no one flatter themselves that we are sore over the fact that we are not the nominee. Our only regret is that with the opportunity the fusion forces had, we came out of the con vention in the shape we did and they done more for Mr. Long's election ihan his own friends did. No, we are still a Populist; favor fusion on an honorabls basis and .shall continue to fight on this line." Among Oar Exchanges. Wra.

Our Correspondents. ft v ARTESIAN ITEMS. Mr. Editor, our nom de plume shows that we believe in short words, and to be held re sponsible for all the big jaw-breakers that have been thrown at us through the columns of your paper is hardly fair, yet we do not complain. Crackerjack's sample would be better if it were dephlogisticated with Sider s melon knife and chewed a little by Twof 'r. No offense meant, 2f'r, and say, don't you think it about time to turn on a common enemy so that we may have the battle ground all to ourselves? They should ask for a trial round with the gloves before slugging. Lou Martinson delivered the cattle he win tered at Fanchar's pasture Monday.

We are not going to prophesy another wedding for we can't tell how Ernest the boys are, and we hope to present our Bill for the next certain prediction. There is use in try- ing to foretell events unless there is something in it. We will not occupy any more space this time for mud is so plentiful there may be con siderable flying through the air when all the precincts are heard from. Ike. BELLE MEADE ITEMS. It is said that to work in the fields now one must wear gum boots and a slicker, besides carrying an umbrella. Towell Sealock and Wm. Colgan branded cattle for the former at Blair's Monday.

FOWLER NEWS. . The man with the hoe", the good old fashioned hoe, will soon be in great demand should this wet weather continue to sprout weeds. We are not sure, but we rather think there is something dead in -town, judging from the oderiforous perfumes now pervading the air. Fowler can boast of a young man who, like the Irishman's horse that could live without eatin, can go without sleeping. It is said that he just gets in in time for breakfast. If Meade people are afraid of rain, their timidity is balanced by the bravery of the young in our vicinity. Last Sunday one gay party drove clear over to Mellonjuice's Sun- aay scnooi in tne rain, anotner group were boat-riding on the creek, and a third posse was out wheeling for their health, mindin" not the gentle showers decending. At last that banner which, by the way, has about evaporated, its brilliant colors changing from a bright pink to a gloomy whvte, through the lapse of time was awarded to the primary class by Rev.

Mud, mnd, mud. This is bad weather for those new buggies. Mr. and Mrs. F. I. Bennett visited with Will Krisle's near Fowler last Saturday and Sun day. There will be no more regular preaching at Lakeview. There are always some people who think that because they are always quarreling that everyone else is also. It is a sad mistake. Well, Bro.

We are glad Meade has three baseball nines but never mind, Odee will probably make up a nine and show the Meade boys how to play ball. A couple of young men went to Meade the other day and while eatinsr dinner at the hotel one asked the other if he ivashed his face, he replied he had, why? Oh. he replied, that insulting waiter insists upon putting a towel be side my plate. I've thrown three under the table and yet every time she comes in she puts an other one in its place.

Uncle George is as voune as ever and likes to be in a crowd and enjoy himselt Ed Rieman, Dave Stutsman and Mr. Fick and wife were here Sunday attending the funeral. Mr, Gruemken was at Henry Bnnkman s Monday. It seems to be getting the cus tom in Odee to again herd the cattle as in olden times and that is just on account of one big stock raiser, a citizen of Odee who is not able to lence his crop or in other wores who does not want to fence it in order to be quarreling with his neighbors. .
