Charter revision is making very slow
progress. 1t will be the same old story.
The revisers will cogitatc and maSti-
cate up to the day the session of the
legislature opens, then they will hand
over Il ponderouS roll of typewritten
manuscript 10 the Douglas delegation,
which in turn will iangle and wrangle
over the charter amendments, while the
contractors and corporation managers
will be setting pins and stakes to pre-
vent any change they do not relish and
have such provisions inserted by out
side members whom they usually are
able to enlist for chOpping up Omaha
charters. Then the mills will begin to
grind as slowly as they can, so that the
charter can be used as Il swap and tic-uD
for all kinds of jobs and steals. Dur
ing the last week of the session the
Omaha charter, after much tribulation.
will make its appearance, mutilated be-
yond recognition and about the last hour
of the session it will be railroaded
through and placed in the hands of the
governor. If he approves, the con
tractors and rngsters viii be satisfied.

Alma College Opens.

The tenth annual opening of Alma
College occurred Wednesday morning,
Sept. o. All the members of the faculty
were present, and the chapel was well
filled with students and friends. DIR.
Bruske read the scripture and Rev. w.
+. Jones offered prayer, and the singing
was led by the Chapel Mixed Quartette,
consisting of Misses Voegel and Peters,
Messrs Beckner and Scott. The
annual address was delivered by Pres.
Bruske. Subject: 1.-The Cultivation OF
the Speaking Voice" The address
showed careful preparation and was
finely delivered. The subject was very
appropriate and contained that "meat
of stimulating thought" which has
characterized the helpfulness of other
addresses of the presidents at former
openings. DIR. Bruske showed the super
iority of the voice over all other musl-
cal instruments; and how, in the case of
the singing voice, it is cultivated at
great pains and expense. But regarding
the speaking voice, universal opinion
seems to think that men do not need to
cultivate it, AT any rate men do not do
it to any marked extent. The value Of
the speaking voice was illuftrated from
the lives of such orators as Blaine,
Gladstone, Bismark, Beecher and
Bryan But men are beginning to realize
that many good gifts of God are imper-
feet, and that cultivation works inn
provement. Among these gifts is the
speaking voice. For just as the art of
man makes the wilderness TO blossom
into the meadows and the grain fields,
so mis- intelligent practice transforms
the average voice-the snrill, thin,
treble, or the deep, montonous bass
into the superior voice of the pleasant
toned conversationalist and the brilliant
and facinating flow of the orator.
After this excellent address which
was roundly applauded, Pres. Bruske
introduced to the students, one of the
sons of the late DIR. Job Pierson, Mr.
Jno. w. S. Pierson of Stanton, the giver
of the gymnasium apparatus, whom the
boys received with tiger. Mr.. Pierson
madea very happy speech, i'll which he
re-emphasized the well-proven friend
ship of his family for the College.

Athletics Boom.

A mass meeting of the students, under
the auspices of the Athletic Association,
was held Thursday afternoon in the
College Chapel. The meeting was pre-
sided over by President Knox, who
stated that the object of the meeting
was to acquaint the students with the
proposed athletic work of the members
of the Association this fall ; and also to
urge all students, new and old, to put
their shoulders to the wheel, and push
foot ball. After interesting and rous-
ing speeches were made by DIR. Brooks,
Lady Principal Connolley, Prof. j. L.
Ewing, DIR. Pettyjohn, Rev. Q. + Wood
ruff, Manager Beckner and President
Knox, a committee of the Athletic AS
sociation canvassed the student body for
new members for the Athletic Associa-
ton. A number of new students joined
the Athletic Association, and signified
their intention to participate i'll that man
liest of college games, which develops the
best all around athlete-foot- ball.

A Beautiful Gift.

Mrs. DIR. Pierson of Stanton has
presented Alma College Library with a
very valuable, imported Swiss clock, as
memorial gift to the library of which
her honored and scholarly hus-
band, DR. Job Pierson, was the founder
and librarian. The clock stands eight
feet high, in finely finished oak case
which matches the finishing of the in
terror of the reading room where it
is placed This clock is one of the most
appropriate and beautiful presents of
which any department of the institution
has ever been a recipient, and it is
another testimony of the enduring
friendship of the Pierson family for the
college we love.
