is though that the time for such enter
tainments. the taste for them rather,
is rapidly passing away. 1t is begin
ming to get stale and tiresome to see q
woman-men saw the righteousness
Of it long ago and quit the business
60 through lot of meaningless calls
themes which confuse instead of illust-
rate the narrative they accompany, or
gasp and stare and clutch at her breast,
"tearing a passion to tetters" in way
that no zane human being ever did ex-
cept lady elocutionist. Such things
caught the popular eye dozen years
ago. But we. are toning down now,
getting civilized, and such things no
longer please us. The best ''elocution'
is that which Is the least obtrus-
i've, which leaves the audience think
ing only of what was said and not of
the manner of saying it. The school
represented by Mrs. Cranwell labOrs to
produce directly the opposite effect, to
leave the audience thinking of the
speaker and not of that which was
spoken. And that is why the average
evolutionary entertainment is fiat and
tiresome and rapidly becoming 1nprO-
fitable. The "hOme" part of the pro-
gram Wednesday evening, the piano
solos by Misses Grace Beck, Lena Pet
erson and Maude Richards, the sopran-
O solo by Miss Mauds Thrasher and
the male quartette by Messrs. Evans,
LETTER, Scott and Jordan; was we'll re.
ceived and added much to the even
ing's entertainment.
The REGISTER neglected to mention
last week a FERROUS accident that befell
Mrs. A. G. Gilmore. of this city, on the
fifth of July. She was holding a
horse by the bride while her daughter
attempted to saddle it, when the ami
NAL reared and dragged her under its
feet, breaking both bones of her left
leg, about three inches above the an
kle. Drs. Chastain and Fulton were
summoned and reduced the fracture.
There was considerable hemmorrhage
and it was feared at first that the pa
tient would be unable to recover from
the shock and the less of blood. But
the fears happily proved unfounded
as Mrs. Gilmore has improved steadi-
lily each day and the physicians now
have no doubt of her early and COM
plete recovery.
Down in LaBette county when a
candidate goes out to interview the
farmers he takes a man along with
him to hoe or pillow or make hay while
he talks to the man with the vote, thus
allowing the farm work to go on unin.
terruptedly. Maybe this may serve as
a pointer for some of our candidates.
The beauty of it is, you know, that If
that plan were pursued the Oftener the
candidate came and the longer he talk
ed the better the farmer would like 1t.
The Cornet Band which accompanies
Dr.. Diamond Dick has given open air
concerts every night this week which
has been enjoyed by hundreds of peo-
pie The ladies who compose it are
thorough musicians. And the simple
hearted grace and dexterity with
which they deposit their chewing gum
on tho rim of their horn when they
get ready to play, and then take pos
session of it again when they are
through is worth coming miles to see.

We made Wallace Duncan "Suck-
er" instead of "Hoosier" in our little
biographical sketch last week, and
h.,f IN M
''trOmp" on us unless We take it back.
His apology is accepted, it is needless
to say, and we hereby take it back
with great alacrity. 1t really doesn't
make much difference where q man
was born so he had the luck and good
sense to come to Kansas as soon as he
could get away.
The wheatis beingthreshed along the
river and is yielding all it promised,
some fields going as high as forty
bushels to the acre, while the average
will be nearly, if not quite, thirty
bushels. The grain is of excellent
quality and will command the highest
price the market affords. This is
great year for the wheat grower.
