Tho Power of a Voic Storles abound to Illustrate tho pow er possessed by trrent speakers and actors to stir tho emotions by tho tones of the vqIco. It Is said of the older Booth that ho brought tears to tho eyes of a company upon one occa sion by 'tho way In which he uttered tho opening words, "Our Rather," of tho Lord's Prayer. A story Is told of, tho great Irish orator, O'Connoll. An attack had been nindo upon him In tho house of com mons. When O'Connell arose to reply his lofty biw wns black with thun der and his arm uplifted ns If to strike. TJion, checking himself, ho snld. "But the gentleman snys ho loves Ireland.' Lowering his tone to the rippling mur mur of u summer brook, he continued. "I have, no, words of bitterness or re proach for any man who loves Ire land." The pathos In tho fragmentary utterance of tho last word brought tears to the eyes of many veterans ot tho house. A Scotch Test. Auchtermuchty Is tho happy town which every Scot, proud of his unpro nounceable tongue. uso3 ns n shibbo leth to test tho linguistic skill of tho southron. If you cannot say "Auchter muchty" you are still nn uneducnted barbarian. The meaning of tho word happens to bo ns monstrous ob Its Bound "Tho high ground of tho wild sow" Is not a nnme ono would choose for a garden city. People, however, aro found to flock to It ns n Buraraor re sort, and na It has n lover's pool tho town hns probably attractions more ronl than lta name. In tho early part of tho Inst century Auchtermuchty went bankrupt and wns deprived of all Its property except tho jail nnd ono or two other assets of an equally neces sary character. It is now rich, peace ful and radical. GETTING AHEAD. When the officers of this bank see a depositor niak7 ing steady gains in his balances, our confidence in him grows.

A special from Holdrege to tho Bee says: Deaths among tho horses of the county from the mysterious new disease have averaged twenty per day now for several days. Farmers are greatly alarmed and can talk of nothing else on the streets. Calls for state aid have been sent in, but no reply has yet been received. Local vetcrinariea like their brothers olsewhore acknowledge themselves baffled and not one authentic report of recovery has been received. The spread of the disease is coincident with tho continuance of hot dry weather, thus discrediting the wot weather fungus growth theory so far as this community is concerned. Like wise pasture conditions are not alone responsiblo as horses kept in their stalls have become victims. Included in the latter class havo been two valuable animals kept in this city by a horse importing firm. Miss Emily Bakor, of Detroit, Mich., returned home Saturday evening after sponding tho summer with her siBtor Mrs. George Field. Tho Earth and Man Compared.
