Tho public speaking classes have grown so largo that another
division will bo formed.
The D. B. D. 0. is arranging for a series of joint debates
with one of tho clubs in Doano.
IfLl The debating clubs adjourned Saturday evening after par-
I liamentary practice, in order to hear tho political speaking at
tho Oliver.
JNcd Abbott is easily frozen out lately. Jiiven an oppor
tunity to give tho critic's roport, usually so dear to him was
refused last Friday night. But then Miss N was thoro too.
The old members' program in Delian Hal! last Friday even
ing contained somo very interesting numbers. The music was
especially fine, consisting of a vocal solo by Mr. tlaynes, a
piano solo by Mr. Hudson and a selection by tho University
trio. Among tho literary numbers, tho paper by Miss Madge
Wiggins on tho history of tho society, is well worthy of men
tion. J. F. Boomor read some verses of exceptional merit,
such as Joe knows well how to write.
The secretary of tho debating association, Mr. E. F.
Warner, is now taking names of those who expect to enter tho
.) preliminary debates. Ono dollar registration deposit will bo
required which will bo refunded if the person participates in
tho debate. Tho deposit will bo retained in case tho person
fails to appear. This is only as a protection for those who do
debate and prepare for a certain place. It is an injustice that
ft man should proparo for tho position of fourth speaker and
bo obliged to opon tho dobate because three others are not
prosont.
There is a fooling among debaters that Kansas must bo de
feated this year. For two successive years Nebraska has met
defeat in tho hands of tho .lay Hawkers, and everybody wants
a winning team sent to meet them this year. It can bo done.
Nebraska has somo oxcollont dobators. No good dobator
should bo left out of tho preliminaries. Tho loaders in tho
( preliminaries should bo sent to Kansas and all of tho teams
should bo thoroughly drilled. Our foot-ball team wouldn't
stand long against thoir oppononts had thoy not already played
WE BELL MEN'S SHOES DIRECT FROM
hard practice games with a strong second eleven. In; the same
way a debating team will bo much stronger if thoy have
debated several times with good strong opponents.
In tho Union Society program Mr. J. J. Plowhead un
doubtedly spoke from observation in depicting tho life of a
cow-boy. He believes that distinct class of western pioneers
will soon be extinct, as there will soon bo no range for graz
ing. Mr. Carl Bessoy's paper was appreciated for its direct
bearing on the history of tho Philippine and Ladronne Islands.
Miss Rona Chappell gave a reading from Riley. The scene was
a humorous state of affairs at a wedding where two ladies ex
pected to bo the bride. Somo of tho Union boys wondered
how tho dinner was to bo disposed of. Miss McGuffoy kept
everyone in a roar by her original stories. Her plot was a
common ono and so were the character. Every action was so
natural that one couldn't help but enjoy the narration.
Death of Miss Miller.
Miss Mary Miller, tho eldest sister of Frank R. Miller, died
'at their home in this city last Friday morning. Miss Miller
was known to many University people, and thoy join with her
brother in mourning her loss. Throughout her long and ex
ceedingly painful illness her brother was a kind and patient
attendant. Tho funeral Sunday afternoon was very largely
attended. Tho room in which tho casket stood was filled with
floral offerings, among these being ono from tho Palladian
society, of which Mr. Miller is a member. Tho following
verses, written by a life-long University iriend of Miss Miller,
express tho feeling of all who know her bravo and patient
struggle, and hor beautiful character.
Nineteen beautiful years
Tho crown has been nobly won.
Lot us not whisper, "Farewell,"
Let us not say, "She is gone."
Lay her among tho flowers,
Smiling oven through our tears.
A sweet, undying perfume shall bo
Those bountiful years.
Resolutions of Sympathy.
WnKitKAS, It has pleased our Father in his omniscient wis
dom to remove from tomporal life tho sister of our follow wor
ker, Frank Miller. Tho Palladians offer tho following resolu
tions: That wo extend to this boroavod brother our heartfelt
sympathy, and wo mingle our griof with his in tho loss of a
dear sister; bo it
Resolved, That wo send a copy of those resolutions to our
follow Palladian and that wo place this expression of sympathy
upon tho rolls of our Sodioty and also that wo have the resolu
tions published in tho University papers.
