Getting the bonnet before it had got

Mime. Marion Van Duyn, who has
opened school in New York city for
the purpose of teaching American wo-
men how to talk, among other things
Saws.
THE American woman's voice has
severab glaring faults. 1t is pitched
much too high. 1t has at times a too
great resonance. To speak less techni-
cally, she makes too much noice. 1t
Is not what a womans voice should be
soothing and restful. 1t is ofttimes
rasping and irritating. In word, the
American woman's voice is brassy.
Every musical conductor knows the
dreadful strident possibilities of a brass
horn. Properly managed its tones may
/ be as sweet and have as human a qaul-
ity as those of violin. Mlsmanaged,
1t is uncomfortable. Theodore Thomas
used to say that some day the most
trying instrument in his orchestra, the
brass horn. would drive MIN insane.
The unregulated and ill-regulated
American voice is a parallel to the
brass horn.
"A man who is prominent in ma
tional affairs said to me in Washing
ton: When / have an extra million to
spare / am going to endow college to
teach American women how to talk.
Listen, now We were at a large re-
-. y 4
those hundreds of women, screaming
to make themselves heard above the
rest, sent me home with a headache.
The man was in earnest and he was
right
Those women, and most American
women, need to be taught by expert
ment and experience that you can talk
against anything and be heard with
out once raising the pitch if you have
a well-regulated voice. You can talk
successfully against one string of a
violin, or against a passing train on
an elevated, or even a ferry whistle.
Summed up, the trouble is that the
voice of a woman of rs is like childs
voice. 1t is a shrieking voice. and
springs partly from atmospheric con-
ditions, partly from lack of inward and
outward poise.
American actresses, as d rule, have
not good voices-not as good, at least,
as they might be. Mrs. Minnie Mad
dern Fiske has Some good notes In her
voice but it is bit harsh and some
what monotonous. Maude Adams has
a disagreeable voice Viola Allen has
a molasses voice one that IS. If pos
sible, overcultivated. Ada Rehan had
a pleasant voice, but Julia Marlowe has
a beautiful voice, the best on the
American stage.
IF women knew how many men
who have been attracted by their APP
pearance and manners have been driv-
en- away by their voices, vanity and
constellation for their happiness would
lead them to cultivate their speaking
voices" she said.
Il prefer to take a woman when she
is young, but | do not refuse others.
There is no voice that cannot be made
pleasing. But its owner must think"

afraid of seeming afraid: each thinks
a certain carelessness, a certain rough
ness and brusqueries, the desirable
method in public, leaving one to infer
how much worse the want of courtesy
may be in private.
Why ii should discredit a man to
show so far as a sufficiently gentle
and deferential manner does it. that
his wife is of more importance
to him than all the rest of the
world is, or why woman
should think her acquaintance would
esteem her less on seeing that
she looks up to her husband. regards
him as the last and greatest work of
creation should be regarded-as they,
every one of them. either regard their
own, or wish they did-will always be
a mystery. For, in point of fact. the
more either asserts the others dignity,
gracefully and naturally and as with
out effort, the greater proportions that
dignity assumes, while really each IS
honored in honoring the other, and
each is happier.
For the rest. the home where deli
cate manners between the husband
and wife are neglected is almost al
ways a scene OF strife and vulgar bick-
ering with partisan feeling. This
child resents the careless or fiippant
indifference ON one side; that child re-
sents the bullying on the other; and
union and harmony become unknown
quantities. But the home where fine
courtesy prevails, where the husband
entreats the wife as he would the first
lady in the land, and compasses her
with sweet observances and sympa-
thetic care, where the wife never fails
with the gentle word, the answering
smile, the foreseeing thoughtfulness.

JOINT CASES CONT |NUEO
The Jail is Full and SO the Liquor
Cases are Continued-Men Under
Bond to be Good.

The Allen county Jail is full at pres
ent and If all the men under indict-
meDt for selling liquor were put in 1T
there would be a iamb that would be
unhealthy and uncomfortable. So
there has been no urging pressure
brought to force all the men into jail,
only those who pleaded guilty and in
sisted on beginning their sentences be-
ing put in prison.
Ernest Brown and Lewis Gill APP
peared in court Friday, pleaded guilty
to one count each and were sentenced
to Jail The other counts were dis
missed and the men given forty-iive
days in Jail, fine of 800, they to re-
main in jail until fine and costs are
paid. Gill must give 5000 and Brown
800 bond after getting out to be good
for two years. They Immediately be-
gan serving out their sentences.
The other arrests made have result
ed in bond for appearance and the
order restraining them from continu-

cases are set for the next session.
Among these are: William Forrest,

Hobart Caught A Negro

Saturday night Sheriff Hobart re
turned from Hutchinson where he took
the three colored boys sent up from
here by the district court A few days
previous, the day before he left, he re-
ceiyed card from the Woodson
county authorities to look out for a
negro youth named Charles Johnson,
who had broken into the Neosho Falls
mill and stolen some flour. Hobart
was not thinking much about 1t, but
when the train stopped at Piqua a
colored youth answering Johnson's S
description got on the train drunk,
Hobart made sure he had the right
man and then slipped the handouts
on him. Johnson swelled up and
haughtily demanded to see warrant
and worked the regular bluff, but Ho-
bart brought him right along and
tucked him in Jail, Officers areexpected
soon from Woodson county to get the
prisoner.
johnson is rather intelligent col
ored man who has lived at NeoshS
Falls several years, and it is said
married white woman and lived with
her there.

Smelter Patent Suit up.

REGISTER readers are familiar with
the suit which has been pending for
years in the Federal Court at Leaven-
worth, involving the patent roast
kilns used in the Lanyon Zinc Com
pany's smelters. The suit is being
tried in Leavenworth, and Fridays
Leavenworth Times says:
"Hon. Albert H, Walker of New
York City is in town. Mr.. Walker is
the author of Walkers Patent law,
which is conceded to be the foremost
authority in its line.
''The suit in which Mr.. Walker is
engaged is that of H. F.. Brown and
Selwyn Edgard of the Collinsville
Zinc Co., of Collinsville, Ill.,, against
the Lanyon Zinc Co., at lola, Kans.
The processes of roasting the zinc are
varied, and the Collinsville Co.,
claims the Lanyon Co., has infringed
on it's patent, which is the Stanley
process of refining zinc ore, The Lam
yon Co. claims that it uses what is
known as the Rapp patent. The
amount involved in the suit is almost
incalcuable, The Lanyon Co., pre-
pares one-third of the zinc used in the
world,
"Dyrenforth & Dyrenforth of Chi
cago are the attorneys for Brown and
Edgar.

4. f. Wright for Sheriff.

The report that the race for sheriff
this fall is to be made interesting
by the entry of numerous candi-
dates seems to be true. The second to
enter the race is A. F.. Wright of this
city, whose announcement appears in
today's REGISTER. Few candidates
will have the advantage of Mr.. Wright
in point of wide acquaintance, for his
thirty-three years in this county and
the nature of his work during much of
the time has put him in touch with
both city and county people.
A. T.. Wright was born in Ohio, the
home of statesmen and politicians.
Thirty-three years ago he came to
Kansas, opened up farm in Elm
township, lived there ten years, sold
out and moved to lola. Here he was
in the grocery business about nine
years and since then has been in the
stock business, buying and shipping
live stock. While in Elm township
he was chosen assessor and he has
done similar work in lola, having
performed the delicate task at eigh
different times.
Mr.. Wright is a well-preserved
active man, used to out-of.door life,
Republican since he landed in th'
county, a resident with thirty-thre
years back of him, and he enters tn
race with confidence in his past recor'
aud his wide acquaintance and hi
natural qualifications to perform tn
duties of the Office.

on each side will be built for the stars,
other rooms being finished beneath the
stage. The orchestra also may be
located beneath the stage. The seen
cry will all be unrolled, simply drop
ping straight down, and it is planned
to make II stage which will be stand
ard and can accommodate any show on
the road.
In this connection it is interesting
to know that after This block has been
practically built up solidly, Mr.. Chip
man contemplates building on his
three lots on the north side of the
square, and the Northrups have eX-
pressed a readiness to build on their
lot next the new Davis building in case
this is done. That will leave but one
vacant lot on the north side, the cor
ner west of North street belonging to
| j. w. Parrish and it is understood
he saws he things he will have TO build
if the rest do. So the north side
building boom seems destined to SWEEP
right across from Walnut street to
Jefferson.
1t has long been the desire of lola
people to have an opera house thai
can accommodate the public. The pro
posed one will seat 1900 people com
fortably and in a crush could holC

lola his future home and he assures

Granny Smelter May Resume.

Joplin NcWS-Heralu;
The CRANKY Mining and Smelling
Company is anxious to resume the
smelling of zinc ore. Loug before the |
Kansas gas fields were opened up the
CRANKY company maintained the
largest smelters in the Pttsburg coal
district.
With the advent of the gas smelling
process around lola, introduced by
the canyons, the CRANKY company was
finally forced out of the business and
the company's smelters in Pittsburg
we're abandoned, being finally sold for
iurk For number of years past the
CRANKY people have been dead letter
in the manufacture of spelter, although
they control several thousand acres
of mining land in this district, the
greater part Of whichis producing ore.
The CRANKY company lis rich corpor-
alton, controlled by the Burns estate
OF st. Joseph, Mo. Something like a
year ago it was announced that the
company had decided to manufacture
gas from coal produced from its own
coal lands and again resume smelling.
} However, it is evident that the com
pany found this impracticable.
The fastest reported move is that
the CRANKY company will seek the
Kansas natural gas fields and Neo-
, desha is said to be the objective
point.
) f. S. Catch, secretary aud treasurer
: of the company, who is also the man.

2 several days last week. He was taken

Graduating Class of 32

Commencement this year will be
held about May 30, which date will be
the end of school. The exact time for
the commencement exercises has not
been set, but it will not be far from
that date.
The exercises have always been OF
great popular interest in lola and
will be unusually so this year because
the graduates will number thirty-two,
the largest class in the history of the
schools. The usual preponderance OF
girls is maintained, there being twen-
ty-three girl graduates and only nine
boys. Glass spirit has run higher
this year than usual and preparations
for commencement are already under
way. The usual custom will be fol-
lowed, the Juniors decorating the
room for the evening. There will be

regular exercises, which may consist

A Sol. 600 Onern House

1t is settled that piece OF land hav-
ing frontage ofsixty-six feet on west
Jackson avenue and l20 feet in depth,
across the alley from the Sleeper
building on north Washington avenue
is to be the site of handsome new
opera house which will be such an one
as lola ought to have. Mr.. Sleeper
has named the very low price of S6lO
for the land and MIR. Chapman and his
friends who are planning to build nave
signifed their approval of location
and price.
The land is we'll located. 1t is but
hail block from the corner OF the
square and just one block of the street
car line. Mr.. Sleeper has offered 1t
for some time at $40 front footlfor
opera house purposes only refusing
several times that sum for other pur-
poses. Anywhere else in town, as
close in as this, land would cost sew
eral thousand dollars. The site has
the further advantagelSof a broad
south front, 20 building on the north
or west that would stop ventilation
and a good quiet neighborhood.
The people who will build it are Mr..
Chapman and Mr.. e. E. Buck, both OF
Vermont, H., together with several
lola men who are associated with them
in stock company, The stock will
be non-trausferable and they figure
that the completed opera house will
cost $4,000. 1t is probable that
small bonus will be asked from peo
ple in town, and if the REGISTER has
correctly gauged the local feeling
there will be no trouble in getting {
liberal subscription.
The improvements planned are eX
tensive. The opera house site take
in 66 feet right east of the United
Brethren church. Adjoining this OF
the east Mr.. Sleeper plans to build
three story brick building with abou
fifty foot frontage and connect wit
his present building by an arch drive
way. The driveway will be paved an
