if she needs persuasion, to take DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This
truly wonderful medicine has cured
hundreds OF women after the best ply
Sicians have failed. 1t has been in
constant use and tested every day
for thirty years. 1t isn't an expert
ment, there are no chances about it.
1t Is a certain cure for all derange-
ments, weaknesses, Irregularities and
dlsplacements of internal organs pecu-
liar to women.
The Pringle Comedy company pre-.
sented "The Buckeye" to a good
house Monday night. The company Is
a drSt-claSs one, and the star, Miss
Pringle' has good support. Miss
Pringle is one Of the most talented
actresses that has graced the Yelling
ton stage this winter, and no doubt
has captured any number of Yelling
ton hearts ere now. She is equally as
good in burlesque as in pathos, and is
as much at home playing the part of
an unsOphiSticated country lass as in
shifting the hearts of the chappies
with the affected graces of a music
hall coryphee.
The VOICE neglected last week to
mention so important an event as the
launching of the DAILY Evening Jour-
nal in Wellington. 1t is edited by
Will Taylor, one Of the spiciest young
writer's In Kansas, and managed other
wise by L. E. Smith, ]. S. Forsyth and
A. c. Fisher. The whole company
are expert printers and they are Just
making the Journal hum. 1t has the
largest quota Of home advertising of
any paper In Wellington and its sub
scriptiOn list is mounted up into the
hundreds. 1t is printed at the VOICE
printery. We are glad to note its
early success and hope it may be per-
manent.
woodward News: How the world
do move. We see in the Wellington
papers that "Rev. James Lawrence
will hold services, etc. We first knew
Jim Lawrence when he was police
judge in Wellington and could squirt
a stream of tobacco juice through a
knot hole In his office floor further
than any man in Wellington. He has
practiced law in Sumner county for
years and at one time was associated
with Andy Richards in practice. Jim
Lawrence had kind heart always,
which may perhaps account for his
determination to save souls, but he
was easily recognized by the profesh
as the wittiest, Juciest liar in Sumner
county. He was moreover an alfred
good lawyer and we hope he is equally
as good in his new line; for the Lord
knows Wellington needs all the saving
grace it can get.
