MORNING RAYS
OF the Twentieth Century, as Seen
Through the Evening Shades
Of the Nineteenth.

Mrs. Laura NJ. Johns, president OF the
Woman's Suffrage Association OF the
state OF Kansas, lectured to small audi
encesi in Wa-Keeney Friday and Saturday
evenings OF last week, under the auspices
of the W. G. T. o. The subject of the
lecture Friday evening was "Woman in
the Industries" on Saturday evening,
"Woman Suffrage and Senator Ingalls,
In the former lecture, the speaker
maintained woman's equality with the
soldier sex in mind-capacity, and quoted
our national statistics, showing for her
sex better record than can be credited
to the male. She showed that, because
of the narrow fields of effort to which she
has been admitted as competitor, she
now suffers what is reckoned an invidious
comparison of historic achievements in
the various fields of enterprise and effort.
The speaker asked only fair start In the
race. The upbuilding of human society
gives ample employment for all workmen
possibly available. She thought it un-
wise to exclude from this, noblest of
callings, half the help, and that the bet
ter halt, the world offers. It was shown
that, morally, woman is much the
stronger factor; that, physically, though
not able to lift more pounds avoirdupois,
she is capable of endurance only possible
to those of Gods creatures designed for
high and noble purpose.
She did not think there was much
cause for graduation to the stronger of
the sexes. An elephant or rhinoceros is
physically stronger than her competitor,
but she did not think the argument better
in the latter case than in the former.
Mrs. Johns cited numerous instances of
individual notable achievements by her
sex.
Her second lecture was equally admir-
able in coming at once and squarely to
the combat. The lady showed in forci
bly, logical manner that if governments
are instituted for the benefit of the gov
erned, and if, in our boosted America, it
be Of the people, by the people and for
the people, woman is entitled to her full
measure of participation in governing, as
well as in being governed. She pressed
the recognition of her rights Individually
as woman, and urged the benefits to So
ciety in general arising from her admit
lance to equal privileges. opportunities
and honors. She outlined the stature of
our senior senator upon the canvas spread
before her audience. He seemed to be
some distance in the background, and
and stepping abnormally high, as though
wanting in clearness of vision and un-
certain as to his way.
Mrs. Johns is logical, forcible and
pleasant speaker. Her manner, both in
voice and person, is admirable. People
of Wa-Keeney who did not hear these
lectures have been the losers. ~

We might write story entitled Lost
and Won. That is to say, last Tuesday
Joshua Musgrave and son, of north Ogal-
lab township, drove into town, unhitched
the mules, turned them around, and tied
them to their wagon, which was standing
just east of Bakers meat market. Toward
the close of the afternoon the mules were
missed, and the son started homeward on
foot to find them, Mr.. Musgrave himself
expecting to stay in town all night. In
the course of an hour or so, however, ex-
Sheriff Baker, happening to be looking q
few rods distant from the wagon which
they had deserted, found the mules tied
securely. He appraised Mr.. Musgrave,
who, happy, hitched up, and went home.
&C. A. Black, county treasurer of Lo-
gan county, was in the city on Wednes-

least thousand dollars in hand.

twice, first by the prompter and then by the

The American stage took the initiative in
lowering the dignity of the prompter's office,
though even in this country he still remains
an indispensable factor in every purely dra-
matte presentation. But he has been dis
lodged from his conspicuous position in the
center of the stage, and relegated to a corner
in the wings near the gas man. The gas

heard all over the stage without penetrating
beyond the orchestra. This being the case,
the advantage of having the prompter out of
