Since then the daily deliveries have fallen off some, as the necessity or working in the llelds yrew upon the fanners, and has now measurably ceased, until corn plant ing is done not wit hst andimr t he price continues to rise.

The Flmwood hiyh school defeated the I'lattsmouth hiyh school in joint debate at the J'armele theatre last Saturday niyht upon the question of the retention of the J'uilippines by the United States. Irrespective of the merits of the debaters one can but feel that the E! in wood boys were thrice armed with the riyht on their side in takiny the negative of the proposition that this country should louyer sully its fair fame and besmirch its splendid banner by a murderous course of conquest and pillaye. Uoth schools had picked their debat eisfroai the. best materials at their command, and to all w ho attended the debate proved a tine treat, especially when the youny men. warminy to their subject, waxed vehement in liery elo- eioquence and doubly earnest in their a ryuments. Millard Le iler, Chester Deles Dern ier and Harry Wilcockson represented the El m wood scho il riyht admirably, all three proved themselves pastmas tersiuthe art of debate, preserving at all times a coolness of head which more than once stood them well in hand, and demonstrated their ability to think clearly, incisively and rapidly whiieupon their feet. Their delivery, and especially that of Millard Leflier, was excellent. Earl Travis, Don Despain and Leon I'eppei-bery, the I'lattsmouth boys, labored under the disadvantage of bavin- had less of team work and pre paration than their opponents. But the earnest spirit in which they went into the contest was something tostir the blood in the veins of sluggish old aye and impress all the audience with th ardour of their purpose. The judyes brouyht bntli sides very close in their maiKinys. out tneir de cision was uenerally applauded.

The wedding was a quiet affair attended only by a few of the nearest friends and relatives. Tlie newly married couple left shortly thereafter for Chi-ca-o where they will spend a part of t heir hone-ymoon. They were met at the depot by a number of friends to whom the secret had been tipped off, and plentifully showered with rice as th.ev boarded the train.

The cost of reaching California will be reduced one-half. Add to this that the summer climate of San Francisco is very nearly perfect, and it is easy to understand why tens of thousands are eagerly looking forward to what, 1 their opinion, will be the holiday o' ' lifetime. j Beautifully illustrated folder, ' full information about rates, route, stop-over privileges, til 1 cars, etc., mailed on request J.
