A. G. Forney. Milton Meeting Called In. The meeting announced for Milton in last week's VOICE for Wednesday, Sept.

19, to be addressed by the county candidates, has been called in on account of Senator Peffer's meeting at Conway on the 30th. People of Eden township will take notice. Let every one hear Senator Peffer. BY ORDER OF Removed. To secure better quarters and more room commensurate with rapid growth, the Voice has removed to the rooms over Coverdale's clothing store.

Come up and see us. Anarchy. A prominent merchant of Wellington, one day this week, called the manager of the Voice an "anarchist." He is the same gentleman who said four years ago: "'We must do all we can to down the farmers." The occasion of the gentleman's charge was that 1 he was cornered. Mr. Beaton, Mr.

Blank and the manager of the VOICE were examining an old legal tender $5 greenback which Mr. Beaton preserved from the fire thirty years ago, when the gentleman came along and joined the conversation, just as any other person passing might have done. He was handed the bill for examination with the remark: "There is the best populist speaker in townthat is the kind of money that talks -that is the kind of money that was destroyed to fatten the bond-holders." He began to boil at once. The VOICE man also remarked that if this bill had borne 6 per cent interest from the time of its issue. 1862, it would a mount to about $15.

That is just what the bills destroyed have cost- -the bonds that took them up have cost $9.60 interest for each $5 principal, while if that money had been left alone it would be today worth its face and would not have cost one cent of interest." After several remarks upon bonds, the gentleman said the government had to issue bonds to carry on the war--and being told that the bonds were principally issued after the war was over to furnish the gold and silver holders a profitable and safe investment for the money they hid away in Eurove during the war that threatened the destruction of our government, he said that was all right, the capitalists had a right to do with their money as they pleased -that if a man had money in his pocket it was his and nobody had any right to touch it. The VOICE man responded with the question, "It a man has life in his body and a family to protect, is it right to draft him into service to be shot -wouldn't it be as just to draft cowardly, inanimate, soullesss gold and silver into service as men?" "Most soldiers volunteered their services, but the gold and silver men contributed nothing to the causewhy even in 'heathen China' and Japan the rich men have contributed millions of money for the defense of their country. Rich patriots are scarce in America." Then the gentleman boiled over and said: "You are an anarchist! You are one of the kind of populists who want to tear down the government -I read your paper every -now, these other two men are populists, but they are not like you--they are sensible men." One of the other gentlemen remarked that he also read the VOICE and considered it a first-class paper. Then he left--we presume he was afraid of dynamite. A Conversation.

Wednesday evening rs the manager of the VOICE was going home, he dropped into Frank Snider's to get a cigar. There he found John T. Stewart and Doctors Barnett and Wallace in conversation. Mr. Stewart in his usual jovial manner was telling a joke.

He had been to Winfield and while in a barber shop there had heard a man come in and ask to have his hair "Pilchered." All present laughed, of course. Says Dr. Barnett: "I am just as strong a republican as that man (pointing to the VOICE man) is a populist-but if I were conducting the republican campaign, I wouldn't use that Pilcher matter. I don't know Dr. Pilcher, nor anything about the affairs of the imbecile asylum -but if I had charge of a lot of boys who were chronic masturbators, I would castrate them." "Yes, sir; it is the only remedy," said Dr.

Wallace. "If allowed to go and marry and reproduce their kind the result cannot possibly be anything but idiots and deformed creatures." Both of these gentlemen are recognized as leading physicians of Sumner county. More Salt. It would be very gratifying to cit.zens of Wellington and Sumner county if Mr. Espey would let the people know when he is going to put his salt hole to work.

If Mr. Espey would sell out the salt works, would he not sell the county if he had a chance? Don't all speak at once. If elected county commissioner he will have a chance to sell out on bridges and other public works. Removed. Dr.

Reid has removed from over Wellington National Bank to the first stairway north of Smith's Drug Store. 214 FAIR. ton When do you not are forget in that Welling. you THE can find Dry Goods and Notions of all kinas. The best styles and quality and at the lowest prices, at THE FAIR, OPERA Wellington, BLOCK, Kansas Jerry Coming! Hon.

Jeremiah Simpson will speak at Wellington Thursday evening, September 20th. Tell your neighbors and invite them to come. Hoax Hoodoo. Mr. Hoch addressed a fair assem-1 biage of republicans, Populists, democrats and women at the court house Wednesday evening-not upon the issues of the day, but upon the republican lies being circulated by the Kansas papers.

He said he was not here to discuss national questions--and he didn't. The principal part of the address was devoted to the "state house war," and trying to demonstrate that Populists were socialists and anarchists both in the same breath. When we reflect that all the republican leaders who were concerned in the riot at Topeka two years ago have been turned down by their own party, it sounds queer to hear such men as Mr. Hoch trying to prove that they were "legally and morally right." The VOICE will review the speech at length next issue. Mr.

Hoch is a good speaker, an able orator--but his facts are not on a "parity" with his words. Jerry is coming. Don't be a doodle-bug. Everything is going down but debts and gold. The VOICE.

Only 10 cents. From now until after election. Ask your neighbor to subscribe for the VOICE for the campaign. The Sun is fighting for the "stalwart" wing of the republican party in democratic disguise. For the best drill see T.

B. Hubbard and buy the Van Brunt, either hoe or shoe. 214 Jerry is the man and we are the people that will make him feel at home next Thursday. Senator Peffer at Conway September 20th. Don't forget the date, Thursday, Sept.

20, 1894. Buy the Van Brunt Drill of T. B. Hubbard. No gear wheels on outside to catch dust and cut out.

2t4 David Overmeyer, democratic candidate for governor, will address the people of Sumner county at Wellington next Tuesday, September 18. Senator Peffer will speak at Collins' grove, one-half mile of Rock Island depot, at Caldwell Friday afternoon, September 21. Everybody invited. The meeting at Malaby school house, Springdale township, on the 20th, is also abandoned on account of Jerry Sim pson's speech at Wellington on the same evening. At 76 Center school house on Monday, Sept.

17, a meeting will be held for the purpose of putting out a township ticket. Meet at 7:30 p. m. C. F.

CURTIS, Com. Guelph Township Convention. A Populist township convention will be held at Portland Saturday, Sept. 29, at, 2 p. for the purpose of nominating candidates for township offices.

JAMES PATTISON, Com. The Seventh district Populist committee is making an arrangement to have Mrs. William Stryker, of Great Bend, go with Jerry Simpson from the 18th to the 30th of this month. She will probably speak at Wellington next week. that Abraham Lincoln were in the executive's chair today! If he could look from the beyond today I know his face would flush with shame for a nation that would go so far as it already has.

The time will soon come when the laboring man will know how to use his power, and he will place in the white house again such a man as was Abraham V. Debs. A great deal of blowing is being done about the vote in Maine. Weaver had 2,381 votes in 1892. The Populist vote in recent election according to telegraphic reports, was 4,838, showing a gain for the Populists of 2,457, notwithstanding the total vote of the state shows a loss of nearly 20,000 from that of 1892.

Going to pieces. See? If you would form an idea of the feeling among Chicago workingmen, here is the vote taken at one of the street-car barns this week to settle a wager, the vote being taken by ballot: Republican, 17; tariff reform, Populist, 213. Last year there were not to exceed five Populists in the I James Shoup, aged 42, a bachelor butcher of Caldwell, was adjudged insane in probate court Tuesday and was taken to Osawatomie by Deputy Sheriff Henderson Wednesday night. He was a raving maniac. This is the third man that has gone insane in this same butcher shop in the last four years.

Jerry Simpson and Senator Peffer will address the people on the issues of the day at Harper, Kansas, Monday, September 24. The party of Harper county know how to conduct a grand rally, and Sumner county people are cordially invited to attend. Ayer's Hair Vigor tones up the weak hair roots, stimulates the vessels and tissues which supyly the hair with nutrition, strengthens the hair itself, and adds the oil which keeps the shafts soft, silky and lustrous. The most popular and valuable toilet preparation in the world. The Populist township convention of Oxford township will meet in J.

R. Johnston's hall in Oxford day, Sept. 29, 1894, at 3 p. for the purpose of placing iu nomination candidates for the various township offices. W.

S. JACKSON, Com. It must gall the g. o. p.

to have the Populists ignore the only question upon which republicans have their speeches prepared. The tariff is about as thin as "parity."

Mr M-, a republican of Wellington, approached Mike McGruder, a colored republican on the street one day last week, and talking with him suggested that he get into conversation with some colored Populist and "feel around and ask him what he will take to vote the republican ticket." This is the kind of work the republicans are doing in this city-trying to buy votes. Another instance is that of one of the colored men who sang at the I Populist meeting in the opera house, when Rev. J. D. Botkin spoke.

This colored man owed a fine which he was paying in installments, and just before the Populist meeting Police Judge Willsie sent him word that if he sang at that meeting, he would "pull the strings." But the colored man sang, and the republcans tried another dodge. They sent a committee to the colored man and informed him that if he would vote the republican ticket and call a meeting of colored men and use his influence to induce them to vote the republican ticket, or demand pay from the Populists for their votes. This colored man set to work at once figuring with his colored brethren on a price -but when he struck Horton. the colored man who worked for the Santa Fe railroad two years ago in bringing colored "hands" from Oklahoma to vote the republican ticket, he struck a snag. Horton was fooled by the Santa Fe, just like all the other colored men were, and has been a Populist ever since.

He told his young friend that he was in this thing for a principle, and bade him good day. Marriage Licenses. The matrimonial market has been a little sluggish all along up to the beginning of this month. On the 3rd inst. the ball was opened by a wellpreserved old gentleman of 75 years, who presented himself and his betrothed before the probate judge's bymeneal altar for its blessing.

The good example thus couples was followed by the next four who were married in succession by the probate judge. The last four couples in the list were turned over to the mercies of the ministers: L. A. Parks. South Haven, 1 Mary L.

Potucek is a splendid citizen and has won the hand of a good wife. The VOICE adds its richest blessings. "The True Story Paper" is a new paper started September 1st at Baltimore, Md. It takes up real life as it is found--love, labor, strife and death as they exist. It considers interest, monopoly and rent as devices of the devil, and believes that there is only one medicine that will fetch old Plute from his lair in Washington and New York-that is, for the voters of Americat to vote for the principles of God and the interests of humanity.
