EVERYTHING FOR EVERY EDDY

Governor Tyler last night. IT had hoped
to have gone through my whole admins
tration without being called upon to order
out the military upon any such errand,
or, in feet, upon any errand at all
''But the majesty of the law must be
upheld, and if necessary I shall order out
every company in the State"
The Governor remarked pleasantly
about the fine, manly appearances of the
soldier boys, and waived them pleasant
salute as they sped out of Union

BLUES ORDERED OUT.
Company b. Promptly Responds to the
Call to arms

Call to Arms.
The business section of Richmond yes
terday was in turmoil owing to the
prompt action of Governor Tyler in re-
plying to the request of Judge W. Samuel
Goodwin, of Emporia, who requested as
sistance in suppressing a mob at that
place that was attempting to take a
prisoner from the Jail for the purpose of
lynching him.
When the request was made the
Governor acted promptly, at once
calling upon the Adjutunt-General, who
communicated with Major Sol Cutchins.
of the Blues Battalion. Within a few
moments messengers were flying hither
and thither, seeking the. members Of the
organization at their places Of business.
The work of getting the men together
was not an easy one. for their places of
business were so widely separated, but
within two hours an animated scene
presented itself at the Blues Armory en-
Ninth Street. Men without their lunches
were transforming themselves from plain
citizens into uniformed soldiers, with an
eagnerness and a determination that de-
noted they want TO do their duty in up
holding the majesty OF the law.
In the mean time. the management OF
the Atlantic-Coast Line had been com
munIcated with, and before the Blues
were ready to move a special train was
awaiting them at the depot.
THE TELEGRANS.
The telegraphic correspondence between
the Governor and the authorities OF.

The Neglected Voice.

The voice is the most common and at
the same time the most complex Of hui
man faculties. When we listen to it.
we realize nothing of the many inf]u-
ences at work in it's use. Yet it repre-
sents the character, the mood. the tenn
permanent and the health Of the individ-
ual when left to run in it's own way.
If uncontrolled. it will develop much as
a flower garden will develop: the rank
and wccdy nature will come to the
front, and the tones of exquisite beau
ty will be obscured. Bad daily habits
in the use of the voice will give it
many disagreeablc qualities. If con-
trolled, the voice will keep it's weeds in
the background and permit only its
beauties to be known. If cultivated.
the weeds will be taken out and the
flowers Observation-Disclosures Press.

The Average Lawsuit.

There is nothing more ridiculous thar
the average lawsuit. Two men dispute
i've a few dollars and go to law. Both
are sure to lose. Their neighbors are
dragged in rs witnesses, and the costs
amount to 10 or 20 times the amount in
dispute. Frequently these lawsuits
ruin families and start Quarrels that
last for years. Some men claim it is
"principle" that actuates them in these
lawsuits. 1t is bullhcadedness, pure
and simple. It is nearly always easy
to ''split the difference"
Another bad feature about these law
suits is that the county is put to con-
siderable expense, and men willing to
work are compelled to sit on the jury.
Settle your disputes without going to
law. If the man with whom you are
disputing is not willing to "split the
difference" he will probably accept a
proposition to leave it to three neigh
bors.-Atchison Globe.
