Last Friday was a very disagree able day for a ball game, the wind blowing furiously all day, some times the blinding dust would com pel the players to stop until it would cease a bit. The game was a very good one considering the day. The Ashland boys chose A. F. Gorman to umpire the game, and he gave almost universal satisfaction. However, we regret, there was a little difficulty during the seventh inning over a batted ball. The umpire declared it a fair ball and would not reverse his decision. Aside from this everything went nicely, the Ashland boys being very gentlemanly. The Meade nine "fell down" in the first inning, and let Ashland run in four scores. They held them down to three during the rest of the game while Meade steadily gained. The score was as follows: Innings j 123456789 Ashland: Gear ioxxxoxx x 1 Abell ioxoxoxo x 1 Smith oxoxooxx 1 1 C.

F. R. Beam, who is running the gasoline engines for R. E. Steele out west, was in Meade a few days this week. He stayed over to see Mr. Duval, with whom he is well acquainted. The lecture at the M. E. church last Thursday evening was quite largely attended by our people. Mr. Barber explained a number of points in regard to the X-ray, which great ly interested the audience.

The east-bound train last Monday set out several prairie fires along the track east of town. One near the old sugar mill swept north at a very rapid rate and destroyed several stacks of hay. A number of per sons were on the ground with plows and water and succeeded in saving a number of the stacks. The grass was very dry from the intense heat and hot winds of the past fews days and burned readily. We failed to learn the damage done by fires far ther east. Notice to Stockmen.

Thoroughly MEADE, JV good well of water is a very necessary adjunct to any well regulated ranch or farm. Eminent physi cians declare that a very large per cent, of the germ dis eases are contracted from stagnated water of open wells, therefore, it is highly important that you not overlook this all-important -matter, and get a good well at once. The surface water 'generally contains a large amount of alkali which is very hard on the human system. This water is found in all dug and open wells of any kind. It is un healthy and should never be used for drinking purposes. The only first class wells are the tubular variety (2 to 6 inch hole) penetrating the artesian strata of water and for one of these wells you should consult the practical well drillers, BL.L.IS 6c McrvINNEY Meade.
