EDITOR VOICE. Thegood people of
COrbin and vicinity gave the family
and pastor Of the ME- church, South,
a very pleasant surprise on last Fri
day evening, bringing with them lots
of good things which minister to the
material welfare of the family, and
which was, at the same time. a token
of their esteem and kind regard for
the pastor and his family; for which
we offer this expression of our graf
itude andsthankfulness. We all spent
a very pleasant evening and parted
with good cheer. Dear friends, come
again. Yours truly,

and It's Bound Be Good,

In part second Of the program more
magic by Prof. Marc and more imita-
tions by Mr.. Mccormick were intro
duced. They seemed to grow better
as the entertainment proceeded. In
connection with these exhibitions Of
skill, Prof. Marc and Mr. Page intro
duced musical selections and.speciali-
ties on the guitar and mandolin. Mr..
Pages mandolin playing was extraOr-
binary and any one who once hears
him can but pronounce him an artist
unexcelled. The TERI guitar solo by
Prof. Marc was certain proof Of his
musical, as well as magical ability.
Part third Of the program consisted
or thirty minutes more Of magic by
Prof. Marc. In this part he lintro-
duced the flag speciality, in which he
seemed to manufacture from a hand
kerchief. the flags Of all nations. The
feat of magical incubation was the
most amusing and amazing Of all. In
this Prof. Marc seemingly took from
a mans pocket what seemed to be
live duck. 1t huttered andrhopped,
and when lOosed, it ran from the
stage. An uprOar of laughter follow
ed and the entertainment closed in
tremendous applause. We can not
well say too much in behalf of Prof.
Marc and his superb company.

Mystery, nel0dy and Mirth.

When the rain began to pour down
Tuesday night, many said that the at
tendance at Prof. Edward Maro's en-
tertaipment would be small. Such
was not the case. Though the storm
ragged, still the people came until the
large auditorium was filled, some be-
ing scarcely able to procure seats.
The entertainment began a little
late on account Of the late arrival Of
the train upon which Prof. Marc and
his party arrived.
The first number on the program
was an exhibition Of whistling by
VIM. A. Mccormick, the Riverside
whistler. There have been whistlers
in Wellington before, but never one
so proficient in the art as is Mr.. DC
COrmick. His limitations of the sounds
produced 0y DeasUs anu Olrus were
perfect and brought forth unstinted
applause.
Next on the programappeared Prof.
Marc, the magician, in thirty minutes
of magic and mirth. His exhibitions
were intensely watched, but rot the
slightest clue to the way in which he
performed seeming impossible feats
could be ! obtained. His magic was
scientific, and numerous tricks were
heartily mirth-producing. Yelling
ton has never been visited Eby one
half so scientific in magic as is
Prof. Marc. His audience was de.
lighted and amazed.

and instructive and the attendance
was good.
At o'clock p. m. the city and COun-
ty teachers association met in regular
session with an unusually large at
tendance. The day was an ideal one
and the teachers from the district
schools attended from far and near.
The seats were all occupied and many
were standing,
The series Of quotations given un-
der direction OF Miss Dora SOmmer-
vile introduced many gems Of rare
thought from favorite authors. This
exercise was one Of the most interest
ing features Of the session.
C.L. Clayton read a paper On the
Japanese System Of School Govern
ment," which was very interesting
and embraced thoughts which we're
entirely new to many Of those pres
ent. 1t related facts about the cOur-
tesy shown between teachers and pu
pills there, how corporal punishment
was abolished by law and superseded
by lessons Of morals. the latter being
the first order on japanese course
Of study. The paper admOnished
teachers in this country to pay more
attention to morals. The paper was
fully discussed by G. D. Whitman, o.
G. Frantz, Mrs, E. R. Clayton, T. W.
Butcher and W. II. Demuth.
]. T. Easter,O Mayaeld, opened the
discussion on pensions for Teachers"
and spoke in favor of the same, sup
ported by A. c. WycOif, of South
Haven and opposed by E. W. Earhart
W. S. Davis and o. G. Frantz, The
discussion was very enthusiastically
conducted.
The teachers then listened to a
beautifully executed violin solo by
Edward Jones. He charmed his lis
tenerS as usual and for an encore
played the Fifth Air Varie." His
0umbcr was considered worthy of any
compliment. He was artistically ac-
companied upon the piano by Miss
Mary Share.
A recitation by Miss Blanche Fuss
displayed excellent elOcutiOnary tai
ent. Miss Fuss is the young lady who
took second prize in the Evolutionary
contest given at the close of the coun
ty normal institute. She fully sus-
tained her reputation in her selection
last Saturday.
]. ]. Booth, of Conway Springs,
county examiner, read a paper on
"Politics and Religion in the Public
Schools" His number was highly
instructive and inspiring to teachers
and was heard with intense interest.
He advocated the teaching of the
facts concerning the "silver Ques-
tion," Equity of the Monroe doc
trine," "civil service" and the tariff
question" from non-partlsan stand
point. He closed by appealing to the
teachers Of Sumner county to teach
pure politics and undefled religion
and above all to follow the example
Of the Divine Teacher.
The piano duet by Misses Ruth and
Maud Barnett was greeted with a
hearty encore. The execution was
phenomenal for artists so young as
they.
Prof. Geo. O. Wakefield gave an in
teresting and comprehensive review
of current events. The way he re.
lated the recent historical facts was
worthy Of the praise it received.
This number closed the program
and the association adjourned to meet
again in six weeks, two weeks being
allowed for Christmas vacation. The
reading circle also will meet next 10
six weeks.

The lecture club has secured an
other attraction, and It is one OF the
best now before the public. John
A. Wood, assistant treasurer Of
Oberlin college, 0berlin, Ohio, came
in Monday and before he left Tuesday
morning, Secretary Humphrey, Of the
lecture club, had signed up contract
with him for the appearance Of the
Oberlin College Glee Club in this city
on Christmas eve. This club is rec
Ognized throughout the United States
as one Of the finest glee clubs now be-
fore the public. They are on a par
with the famous Harvard and Yale
clubs. They are now On their annual
tour and this year they are appearing
chiefly in the west, They stop at
Carthage, Mo-, and from there they
come to Wellington. They will stop
here and at Hutchinson, thence they
90 to Denver, Colorado. This organ
izatiOn is composed Of twenty young
men, all talented musicians, a violin
ist and a pianist. They travel in
their own private car and have their
own cooks. There will be no extra
charge to season ticket holders. The
glee club on December 24th, and Col.
Copeland on January 9Th, furnish two
high grade attractions to the public
which no one had expected, and the
lecture club deserve great credit for
securing them.
