A Woman,s Voice.

That most beautiful thing In woman,
a soft voice, is a thing to be earnestly
striven for and assiduously cultivated.
We are told the American climate is to
blame for the shrill tones In the voices
Of so many of Us. This we can In great
degree obviate by the careful training of
the chest tones. In our estimation moth
ing is better for a child while quite young
than short lessons given by some accom-
plished elocutionist. Not that they may
he taught to ''elocute," In the often right
" condemned sense, put to have them
simply taught to use correctly the mus
Giles of the chest and stomach in speaking
every day language and to read with in
telligence. Talking with well known
teacher not long ago, she said no matter
how weak or sore her throat might be
she could read by the hour without the
slightest fatigue, simply because she
used the proper muscles-Ex.

Located at Ellsworth.

We have received letter and also a
circular letter from Miss L. A. Mintz in
regard to the G. A. R Memorial College.
She claims to have been unfairly treated
at Oberlin and hence removed the insti-
tuition to Ellsworth. We publish the
following:
a few men of Oberlin who could not
control this corporation of ladies, desir-
ing to reap the benefits of our hard work
in starting such an institution, formed a
company and commenced a similar
school. Their attitude towards us; the
size of the village of Oberlin, and the
scarcity of population in this newly set
tied country made it advisable for us to
seek another and more suitable location
for our institution. After careful con-
sideration, and at the request and advice
of many of the comrades We have decided
to locate it at Ellsworth.

ZEB.
Resolutions Of Respect, Rejoicing
and Regret.

Recently Recorded by the Bachelors Club of Affair."
WHEREAS: On the fourteenth day Of
the present month of April, Hiram W.
Griffith, did voluntarily, of his own free
will and with generalization, take unto
himself wife in the person of Miss May
Cutler, the aforementioned act being con-
summated at the residence of Mr. and Mrs
Walter A. Eppler, of Adair, by the Rev.
W. A. Saville, of Ellis, therefore be it
Resolved, By the Bachelors Club, Of
Adair, that we look with horror upon
such symptoms manifesting themselves in
our young men, and that we regret to be
obliged to sever the very pleasant rela-
tons heretofore existing between him and
his club, but be it further
RESOLVED, That determining on his course
we congratulate him upon his choice of
life partner who has always been one of
the most popular and well-liked young
ladies in Adair or Ogallah society, and
we assure the bride that we entertain no
unfriendly feelings toward her for thus
ensnaring our most industrious, honest,
steady going member; but that we mag
unanimously forgive all and wish them
health, wealth, long-life, peace and hap
piness and that their cup of bliss may be
so full as to slop over.
Resolved: That as Louis E. Howe had
the temerity to brave the anger of this
society by standing up as best man with
the bridesmaid Miss Ella Marquand,
thereby countenancing his principals
act, and doubtless wishing himself and
partner were principals instead of assis-
tants, that we condemn him for participa-
ting, and the last named lady for inveig-
ling him into it.
Resolved: That as Mr.. Eppler and wife
did their utmost to condone the evil by
satisfying the inner man, and, as the said
Hiram w. Griffith, generously gave the
young folks of the neighborhood dance
after the ceremony was over, these facts
tend, in a measure, to alleviate the pain Of
losing his membership from this body;
but we do assert that If another member
breakes the rules in like manner, our
society will be broken up, our mission N.
g., our occupation gone and our example
no example at all.
Resolved: That the secretary be in
structed to advertise for new lodge room
for the use of the association.
Resolved. That these resolutions be
spread upon the journal of our proceed
ings, and the secretary requested to for
ward copy to our former brother, and
one to the WESTERN KANSAS WORLD for
publication.
Attest: F. A. NATIC, President.

AS small as it actually is, there is GER
tain degree of sense in a Union veteran

is now and then a union veteran, receiv-

The ills that were loosed from the box Of

The judgement of Sodom and neighbor

To know we've arrived at reform legisla-

When a man to be popular boycotts his
