tion of building organs upon honor,

this production, tho full results of
mar.y years of experience and skill.
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

THK BASE HALL SCHEDULE.
Manager Shidlcr has not as yefc
completed tho baseball schedule.
Tho following will give some Idea of
tho prospective campaign.
Besides the games to be played on
the homo grounds, which will be
Kansas, Missouri, Highland Park
Collego and Washburn College, two
trips will bo taken.
A short trip will be made in tho
latter part of April. Two games will
bo played with Minnesota, ono with
Luthem Collego at Decorah, Iowa.
The team will start on Its eastern
tour about May 1, and will play High
land Park, Iowa State College, Iowa
State University at Iowa City. Knox
Collego at Galesburg, Northwestern

Bend, Purduo at Lafayetto, Missouri
State University at Columbia. Kansas

Washburn Collego at Topeka, St.
Mary's and Manhattan. Nebraska

athletics she has so long striven lor.
She plays Knox Collego and North
westorn for tho iirst time in her his
tory. Tho Illinois and Wisconsin
games could not bo arranged on ac
count of conlllctlng dates.
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.
