The VOICE has raft of communica-
lions on hands, many of them contain
ing splendid thoughts, but it is doubt
full if we can find space for near all of
them, however much we should like TO
publish them. And while we are
speaking of this let us suggest to our
contributors the ACCESSIBILITY of stating
their thoughts in as few words as pos
sible. Don't write against space.
Never add a sentence to fill up. Go
right at your point without prelimi
nary apology or unnecessary explana-
ton. twill not only save space. but
have abetter effect on the reader. 1t
is a very important and weighty sub
Ject that ought to fill more than COL
umn IN a newspaper. This is presiden-
tlal year and there will be tremendous
demand Tor space in our columns.
The VOICE is the only organ of plu-
rality party in county of 10000 popu.
latiOn, when minority parties have ten
or dozen mOuthpieces. In a multi.
tude of minds there is wisdom. there
fore we must give some space to all.
The point that one may fail to make,
will be made by another, and thus the
whole field will be covered. Therefore.
the VOICE would encourage short CON-
municatiOnS-in fact, must insist on
them. The department headed aCoun-
ty Contributors" is good one. Good
points, as arule, can better be present
ed in paragraphs than in long articles
and they secure a much wider reading

Frisco, the popular Line.

The Frisco is undoubtedly the most
popular line from this territory to st
Louis, and eastern points. The special
features it enjoys have contributed
largely to its universal popularity.
The equipments of its trains is indeed
a very high order of excellence. The
country traversed by it represents the
very richest portions of the south and
west. The road bed is unsurpassed by
any line in the country. The Santa Fe
evening and morning trains leaving
Wellington make close connection at
Wichita, and arrive in st. Louis ahead
of all competitors. To the travelling
public we beg leave to call attention to
these facts, and when you travel east
ward go via the Frisco, the popular
line. Any information desired call on
FIG. Pay, agent Santa Fe route, who
will be pleased to talk with you re-
garding the Frisco.

We feel happy because of that Ster-
ling periodical, the NelC Nation having
heen reduced in price to S1.OO per year.
1t was formerly $500 per year. 1t
comes nearer going to the bottom of
the causes of our cOuntry'S perilS, and
states more conclusive logic on the
subject than any publication in the
land. True it represents the National
sentiment which all are not willing to
accept as yet in its entirety, but its
ideas and arguments are so cOnvinc-
ing that no one can read it without
prOfting. 1t is edited by Edward Bel
lamy, whose Looking Backward" has
been read by a wider audience on both
continents than almost any other book
published. The NelC Nation at its re-
duced prices, ought to have 500 readers
in Sumner county. One interesting
feature of it is its summary of Peoples
party news over the entire nation.

Over a year ago, before the VOICE was
started, we we're crediblY informed that
Campbell was trying to sell the influence
of the Monitor to the Alliance, alleging
that it was case of bread and butter.n
AS we we're told, he wanted to desert the
Republican party and print a Peoples
Party paper. But the Alliance sputned
the offer and would not tender him the
thirty pieces of silver, hence he was com.
PEELED to keep intact his Republican virtue.
He is fine rooster to abuse Republicans

4 Good Disinfectant.

One OF the most useful disinfectants
is common copperas. which no. only
destroys the germs of disease, but fixes
the valuable ammonia that escapes from
the decaying matter. A disinfectant is
any substance that destroys the un-
wholesome mats rs, deoderi1er sin ply
destroys the oder, ard the two are to be
thus distinguished from each other in re-
gard to their uses. Common plaster is
a deoderizer, and is useful in combining
with the ammonia that escapes from de-
caying substances. But the ammonia
Of the stables and manure yards is not so
Injurious as the compounds Of carbon
aud hydrogen, such as the marsh gas
that is evolved from decomposing man
nure, and Is the same gas that escapes
from marshes. This Is productive Of
fevers Of various kinds that are far to
prevalent in rural villages and on farms
There are other Injurious gases, as
the compounds OF sulphur and carbon
which have -uch an intolerable odor in
decaying eggs, g. these give the strong
odor to the manure. But the worst Of
all the odor Of this kind is the drainage
that escapes from the yards and the
horrible cesspOol, that is so common
and which finds its way to the wells.
The fatal typhoid fever is common re-
suit Of this impurity, and as the present
time i that when these dangers are
most to be dreaded, attention >hould be
given without DELAY,
