I ;Tlie Alumni Association lias seized a magnllicont organ at a prico far oe lcw the cost to manufacture, the possession of which is of groat benellt to the university from the utilitarian as well as the art standpoint. It is a Joy to hear It from morning to morn ing. The organ is the large three man ual instrument exhibited bv Mr. Moeller, at tho Trans-Mississippi Ex position. It is pronounca by experts to be an instrument of the highest grade, of unexcelled workmanship andloHovery way worthy to be a gift of tho Alumni to their Alma Mator, Tho University of Nebraska.

The team will probably bo reunl formed and the appearance generally Improved. Tho first (if the two preliminary con tests to tho Interstate debates was held last night in tho old chapel. A large and exceedingly enthusiastic audience greeted the speakers. The debate was on the question of municipal ownership of surfaco transportation. It showed an Immense amount of preparation as each speaker was full of his subject. W. F. Meier opened the discussion with a brief account on tho negative, in a manner which showed that lie had the proper spirit though lacking somewhat in oaso. T. A. Maxwoll then took up tho affirmative in his caractcristic delib erative stylo ana ease on tho plat form. Mr. Milek laid particular stress on rebuttal and gave a straight forward talk. 1. K. Baldwin then followed with a somewhat oratorical effort on trio merit of the muni cipal ownership. Mr. Lewis for the negative was full or fire from start to finish and showed that he had ills mattor well in hand. Mr. Wlllets gave a clear and a well thought out talK but lacked a little of the porsuaslvo quality. C. P. Craft's arguments against the propos ed plan wore as clear as could be given and dollvored in a forcible mannar. J. Kolley answered In a logical though lacking somewhat in C. C. Nortli for the opposition full of liro and gavo his aud ience all that It could listen to In trie eight minutes. P. H. Sruith furnls- ed a little diversion in order to break the monotony. He lias doubt less tho ability but failed to have his argument arranged In tho most, effective order. Mr. Yoder on the negative gave a logical discussion in a clear man ner, He lacked, however, the ability to stir up the battle. C. A. Kutcher spoko in a very deliberative manner of tile advantages of the propobod plan. Mr. Kutcher's argument was r.lear and effective. N. M. Cronin closed the debate for tho negative with a talk which, though clear, lacked persuasiveness. Tho decision of the Judges was not made last night and will not bo until after tho second contest. less decorations that had been ex ecuted at evory turn by artistic hands. Palms, Japaneso umbrellas, screens and lantorns all aided In prcfontlng a stunningly mysterious effect, so essential in anything con nected with Omoga Psl, wlillo their fraternity color, crimson, was ovory whore In cloverly designed creations of flowers and ponants. Cozy corners woro mado especially attractive with many handsomo pillows. Cooling punch was served In a palmy corner beneath a huge um brella while delightful Ices wore tho order In a pretty rear parlor. About twenty coupons wore present and tho festivities continued until a late hour. Tho momborB from out of tho city were: Miss Losch of West Point and Miss Tukey of Omaha.
