After Doane's Scalp
The debate arranged between tho
Union Debating club and Doano Col
lege came off last night. Tho question:
"Resolved, ThaT"The Southorn States
are Justified in Disfranchising tho
Negro," was supported by Pfeifer, Mc
ReynoldB and James, the Union squad.
Tho negative wo have not been ablo to
ascertain but whoever they are, it
is perhaps safe to say that they
found In the Unlvorslty representatives
a fair foe. Aside from James, who is
known in. the debating world, tho
Union team is new in the field, yet thc.v
have had enough experience in the club
debates to prepare them, and having
had the question under consideration
for some weeks, thoy undoubtedly
tried a little team work, as well as
Btrang Individual argument. At the
time of going to press no word as to
tho outcome had been received, but It is
not expecting much to believe the first
scalps of tho season will be brought
home today.
Mens' Mass Meeting
University meu will bo pleased to
hear that Mr. Jules Lumard. the white
haired war veteran of seventy years,
with a volco of wonderful power and
sweetness will sing at tho men's moot
ing tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock in
the Oliver theatre. -Mr. Lumbard and
his brother, now deceased, wero the
men who often sang to prisoners dur
ing tho war of the rebellion. Among
other selections Mr. Lumbard will sing
"I'm a Child of the King," and with
Mr. Fred L. Willis." the speaker of tho
afternoon, will sing, "Saved by Grace."
Tho subject of the afternoon address
will bo "Nebraska Manhood," a theme
in which all Unlvorslty men are much
interested. This will probably bo the
last chance of hoarlng Mr. Willis, who
has accepted a call from the. associa
tion at Worcester, Mass.. for which
place he will leave in a short time.
The doors will bo open at 3:45 sharp.
Dr. Davis Honored.
Dr. E. W. DavlB has been elected as
sociate editor of tho new magazine,
"Mathematical Science," which is pub
lished in Chicago under the auspices
ftf tho Central Association of Mathema
ticians. Four Issues aro published n

teaching mathematics employed in tho
high schoolB. In this connection the

School is being watched carefully, as
sho is making experiments along the
line of correlation of science and math

Jean Tuttle and Mablo Cleveland, well

AN ANNUAL PRIZE
Committee on Bryan Prize Ar
ranging the Question
The committee on the "Bryan Prlzo"
aro preparing to make an announce
ment concerning the inducement of
fered and the rules of tho contest. This
prlzo has been offered annually for
several years past, but at no time has
tho competition been as keen as has
beon desired. Tn no Instance has the
interest aroused come up to expecta
tions, but it Is hoped that this year a
largpr number of candidates may sco
fit to compete.
This prlzo consists of tho income
from tho Investment of a permanent
fund of $250, which Mr. Bryan set
aside for this purpose, undor tho orig
inal terms governing tho offer. Tho
object of tho offer was to arouse in
tho students of tho University a spirit
for research and Btudy of leading econ
omic questions, thereby educating thorn
up to tho realization and conception
of the problems that occupw public at
tention. A keen, hard-fought competi
tion among a reasonable number of
candidate should produce such a result,
and ft is to bo hoped that tho matter
can bo brought prominently to tho at
tention of tho students, so that a largo
number of them may bo sufficiently
aroused to enter tho lists.
Tho question now under considera
tion of tho committeo Is, "To What Ex
tont8hould Political Parties be Sub
jected! to Legal Control.' It is quite
probable that this question will be
adopted. It applies to tho political
parties of the United States alotte. Pres
ent conditions roust bo considered, as
well as what has been done and what
will be dono. Such problems.. as tho
ballot laws, primary election laws, etc,
will be Included. Tho committeo hav
ing chargo of affairs is composed of
Professors Caldwell and Taylor, and
Dr. Sherman.
As an Illustration of tho small de
gree of Interest that has been evinced
In tho past, it is but necesary to recall
tho showing mado each year. Last
year only three essays wero, handed lu.
Two years ago there weto' two. One
of these, which was by ff r the ablest,
did not conform to the rules, and' was
accordingly thrown out. Tho other
was held .to bo "Unworthy of being
awarded tho prjze. But tho objection
was afterward withdrawn upon the
vigorous protest of the writer, who re
ceived the prize.
No limitations are mado concerning
the subjects offered, excepting that they
be connected with somo question of
government It la also desirable, but
not required, that the. contestants be
long to either of the two upper classes
or are taking- igraduatc work. Tho
committee has the liberty of choosing
the question, as well as of awarding,
the prize, "
If the productions offered are not up
to a sufficiently high standard the com-1
raltteo can. withhold tho awarding of
the prize. In such case tho money
will be added to tho permanent In
vestment, It is. not Intended, that the
prize be thrown away on an Inferior
production, as. the aim of the bestpwer
was to stir a competition that would
result in ojdeep, and thorough research
and bring forth essays indicative of
the best talent in the University.
Men having talent and ability and.
an aptitude for bard work can find an
opening here. The prize ltsejf as well
as the honor attached tp. winning it
ought tp appeal to many. This Is a con
test which many good students would
find it to their advantage to enter,
and it is hoped that a goodly number
of. candidates wljl make the'effprt,
