We regret such disturbances as we
had in our city Monday night, as
we don't think it is a good advertise
ment of the peace and quiet of our
town. While men cannot agree .on
all matters it is not proper to settle
disputes in this manner. We sin
cerely hope these occurrences will
not be repeated. We can have a
quiet, peaceable city and why not
have it? It is no use to stir up
strife and have to resort to bruta
means to settle such differences, and
we do not care to add fuel to the
flames. We repeat it, we hope it
will occur no more.

They were from the Beaty ranch in

We notice from the East side cor
respondent that there are some gos-
sippers out in the country and that
they do not all reside in the city.
We may also have to extend the

as well as the city.
Mrs. Shaw, of Artesian, is justly
proud of her strawberry patch this
year, bne is picking trom 75 to 100
quarts daily which she is disposing
of at 10 cents per quart. The ber
ries are as large and fine as grow in
any country, and far discount any
that have been shipped in, as these
are fresh from the patch each day.
We acknowledge the ! receipt of a
fine boquet of this fruit.
A letter received this week from
Ed. Wehrle, Mariveles, Luzon Is
land, dated April 24, states that he
is in good health and that every
thing is quiet in that vicinity at
present. Ed is in Co; A, of the
famous ,32nd U. S. V. which took
the place of the 20th Kansas. We
shall publish an account of this reg
iment next week taken from the
Manila Freedom, published in the
City of Manila...
Last Friday night an advance man
put in his appearance in town and
billed a show for Saturday night,
The bills indicated that the "pro
fessor" was a world-renowned ven
triloquist and "hypnotist." Satur
day evening a professorly looking
fellow "showed up" and proved to
be the "hypnotist". A small crowd
assembled at the hall to see the per
formance and witness the "wonder
ful freak". The show commenced
about 9 o'clock with the "Prof." on
the stage. He made a short state
ment about his line of work and
stated that he would "hypnotize"
anyone who would come forward.
Several of the boys went up for trial
and the "Prof." concluded that
they were not good subjects. He
went through some hand motions
with some of the small boys, then
he and his 'partner "hypnotized
each other and made a speech or
two, which any 10-year-old boy
could have discounted. The partner
blacked up and came out and got
off a song or two, and cracked
several jokes, all of which wore
whiskers a yard long. The audience
began to leave and pretty soon the
"Prof." said good-night and stated
that he would try again Monday
night. All the boys were dissatisfied
and wanted their money back, so
the night marshal put the "Prof.
and his assistant in the holdover and
went to see Co. AttyJ Bodle, who
concluded that he would not be
warranted, in holding them. Sun
day morning they were turned loose
and both took a tie pass east, having
paid all their bills except hall rent.
Both seemed glad to get away. The
city authorities had been paid $5
for three nights show.
The show was not what it should
have been for the money, but when
we gel "bit" we never kick. . ii is
no use holding anyone unless there
is a good case against them and a
good probability to "stick 'em."
Base Ball Game.
The following, is the score of the
game played by the Whites and the
Blues on Decoration Day, by innings:
Blues 0400013. 1 o 9
Whites 01227001 2 is
Baptismal Services.
Last Sunday morning immediate
ly .after seryices at the Baptist church
the congregation went to the water
north of the railroad where Rev.
Robinson administered the ordi
nance of baptism. Those baptized
were: Miss Mabel Ward, Oliver
Frame and John Lamaster. Alf
Siegel received the ordinance last
Friday morning.
Board of Equalization.
County Commissioners Conrad,
Hayden and Innis are in session this
week as a Board of Equalization,
hearing grievances of erroneous as
sessments etc. and making every
thing satisfactory. They are equal
izing the assessmentf on all the land
which is by no means a small job.
But we presume they are equal to
the occasion as they haye been in
other matters.
The Meade Orchestra.
Prof. Bodle contemplates the re
organization of the Meade Orchestra.
We are glad Mr. Bodle has taken
hold of the matter and can assure
him we "will do all in our power to
make the undertaking a success.
There is talent here that properly
developed would be a credit to our
city. There is nothing that so ma
terially aids a town as a good band
or orchestra. We shall have more
on the subject as the matter de
velops.

The Sunday School convention
was held at Meade .Friday, Saturday
and Sunday of last week at the M.
E. church. We are sorry to report
that it was not as well attended as it
should have been. We are inclined
to attribute the small attendance to
the fact that this is the busiest time
of the year among the country people
rather than the lack of interest in
the work. We hope the attendance
will be larger next year.
Capt. H. Mott, of Cline, O. T.,
delivered one of his famous lectures
on Libby Prison, at the courthouse
Wednesday evening which was well
attended. R. M. Painter was
over from Meade Monday on legal
business. Ashland Clipper.
In the District court last week the
case of State of Kansas vs. Alec Mc
Coid was taken up. There was con
siderable time consumed in procur
ing a jury. The trial began at 1
o'clock Tuesday asternoon and con
tinued until Friday evening. The
jury was out about 8 hours and
brought in a verdict of not guilty.
And thus ends the McCoid murder
case. Liberal News.
Census enumerator Jenkins is now
busy in Meade Center and Logan
townships propounding the census
questions to the dear people, and
finding out how many eggs the hens

questions too numerous to mention.
