The debating contest at Bellevue col
lege was held Monday and Tuesday of
this week, two teams being chosen which
will represent the school in the inter
collegiate contests which are scheduled
for March.
The subject whs. "Resolved, That the
trusts should be regulated rather than
prevented." Prof. Gist of the Latin de
partment was coach and Profs. Pchmcl
del and R. M. Crossman of Omaha were
Judges.
The men who have won places on tlin
teams will meet In a dual contest nt
homo In February for the Manderson cash
prize of $50, which is divided In the pro
portion of 40 and 60 per cent to the win
ners and losers. Following this contest
tho triangular debate with Doane and
Cotner.Is to be held on March 10 for
tho Intercollegiate championship. Cotner
was successful in taking both contests
last year, defeating Doane and Bellevue.
It may be that tho decision of Judge
Howard Kennedy In the Wright injunc
tion suit may havo a farther reaching
effect than appears on tho surface, If
the supreme court should uphold the de
cision on appeal. It was sutd yesterday
that the National Construction company
would appeal the case to the higher tri
bunal. The appeal In any case means
a long period of Inactivity m trie Magic
City along public Improvement lines. At
bost oven If the case should bo advanced
it will be months before the supreme
court can get around to It In the regu
lar order of business.
Tho wait nnd the consequent stay In
paving might matter little to tho public
generally were It not for the fact that
the said public will be paying Interest
upon the bondB sold to pay for tho paving
while the money lies Idlo In the banks
or at least lies drawing a lesser amount '
of Interest than the public Is paying for
the bonds.
Mindful of such condtllons It was said
yesterday thnt certain taxpayers. In view
of tho holding of tho court might go Into
court again and havo tho city enjoined
frprn paying Interest upon tho bonds sold
to derray the cost of the contracts Just
declared null and void. This would simply
mean that the city would havo to uso
the money In such Investments as would
bring a return equal to tho Interest on
tho bonds and then at the end of tho
term of maturity sell the Investments
and redeem tho bonds.
There Is no doubt that the court's de
cision In tho case may complicate matters
In the Magic City to an extent more
than usual. Money complications espe
cially such ns will mean increaso In ex
penditures without value returned to the
public may do more towards hastening
annexation than anything else. Consider
ing tho difficult temper of tho voters
nt present, officeholders are Inclined to
seek any means of escaping such compli
cations. Now that Commissioners John J. Ryan
and Joseph Plvonkn havo been ordered
ousted by tho Bupromo court, the main
question agitated concerns thrlr probable
successors. It Is tho opinion of somo that
Mayor Hoctor will not be In a hurry
to supply the plnccs of Ryun and Plvonka,
being well content to carry on tho affairs
of tho board himself li order to carry
Inlo execution certain plana that havo
been held In abeyance for so long.
On tho otlier hand a rumor has It that
Hoctor will strengthen his political fences
by the appointment of men whom might
develop Into opponents at an election next
spring. Of these, two names are men
tioned. William Queonan nnd Doctor
Thomas Elisor. Ensor was groomed by
a strong band of democrats last spring,
but refused to stand under the circum
stances. Queenan Han been a e"?
before and I. said to nourish the , ambl.
Hon still. In which case It In said that
a combine between Hoctor. Queonar, . and
M the .big difficult). It
In said that (HUln Is also In on the plan.

Tho Nobraaka legislature probably will
be urgrtd to double the appropriation for
maintaining the plant for manufacturing
antf-oholora serum at the state farm.
At tho last cession H6.00U waa approprl

Is for S30.0GCL
I'rank Crockor of l'llley, president or
tho Nebraska Wwluo nreederH' association,
says the farmers of this stato have lost
no less than to,W0,W worth of hugs this
year from cholera and hi und othera be
lieve that had tho legislature in 1911
granted tho appeal for Xffi.OOO for tho
sorum plant a large part of this loss
might have boon prevented. A lock of
funds cut off work thut needed to bo
done, $15,000 being Insuf flclent to do it.
According to figures authoritatively
given out In Iowa that state this year has
lost from 12,0,000 to 115.000,000 worth of
hogs from cholera, whllo Mlwourl Kansas
and Nebraska liavo all lost about tho
same 43,000,00 worth.
Ail of these other slates, It Is said, are
preparing for liberal appropriations to
make serum with which to combat tho
disease. Of tho efficacy of this serum.
which has the endorsement of the federal
government and veterinarians genorulty,
there Is said to be no question. Tho only
question has been in getting enough of
it. It Is mado from the blood of hogs
and nt Iwiavy expense.
KipcDir Mil (;uipnred to J.oni.
"Hut the expense," said O. TV. Hervey
of The Twentieth Century Farmer, in
discussing the subject before the farmers
In convention in Omaha, "la nothing aa
compared with tha loeses. I believe that
had our legislature appropriated $10,000
moru two years ago a large part of this
t5,0W,O00 loss might have boen prevented.
What Is that beside a paltry 110,000? Here
Is a cose where parsimony and short
sightedness is confused with economy.
"We don't want to look at this matter
aa merely benefiting the farmer and hog
producer. It hue a much broader aspect.
Suppose we had 130,000,000 worth of hogs
assembled In any one place, say at the
South Omaha stock yards, for Instance.
It wouldn't take us long to appreciate
the meaning of tho low of that many
hogs. We would begin to understand that j
it bears a very vital ruauon to ine ruai
of living, I think, and that, therefore. It
offecta everybody, wtwther he be a hog
raiser In the country or a dry goods clerk
in the city.
"Well, now, suppose we fall to rise to
the situation, fall to combat this scourge
aa we should, what then? The chant
aro It will go on getting worse, entailing
far greater losses. It certainly would
not bo right for Nebraska to do Iosh than
those other HtatiH do, and I'm sure they
will nil set nsldit as much or moru than
f:,O00 for two years.
"This In n subject of the most vital In
terest to ovcryono apd I hope It will so
Impress our legislators. In city and coun
try, so it will not bo necessary to urgo
any action on thorn this winter."
Explosions Set Fire
to Odd Fellows' Hall;
Near Panic Ensues
Wlille nearly 400 persons wcro enjoy

Washington lodge of the Ancient Order
of United Workmen laat night In their

four muffled explosions brought tho pleus
uro to a sudden halt. A minute later tho

who hearing the explosions, went to warn
the celnbrators.
The blaze was confined to the Odd Fel

explosions wero caused by gasolene In

Buffalo Shot Dead
By Elwood with a
,22-Caliber Rifle
To shoot buffalo bulls with a .S-caliber
rifle and that In compuny with Frank
rtookefcller, brother of the noted John
D was the rather odd experience oC
J. W. Elwood of Omuha during the early
part of the week. Mr. Klwood has Just
retrtrned from Bolvldero, Kan., where ho
spent a few days on tho Rockefeller
ranch. Mr. Itockefcllor has a large herd,
of buffalo. lOvery year ho has a number
of bulls killed out of the herd. Mr. Kl
wood has killed a number of these for
him, but never beforo with a ,23-rlfle.
"Wo UBed n 23-spccIal bullet with s
copper Jacket, but a eoftnoaod ball,"
said Mr. Klwood. "Wo ran three of tho
animals Into a corrall and I stepped. In,
took careful nlm for tho heart, and shot.
Tho animal trembled for a moment and
collapsed and In thirty seconds ho wan
stono dead. It wob only nn experiment
with me. Tho ranch boys all laughed at
mo when I said I would kill tho animals
with u .22-cnllber rifle, but I wanted to
be on tho Hafo sldo ho I Bet my big rlllo
loaded and ready In tho corner o the
corrall, but I didn't need It."
After tho second animal had been Wiled
Mr. Rockefeller himself, after being re
peatedly Joked about trying a shot him
self, snatched tho rifle and killed tho
last one on the run, making a beautiful
shot striking tho animal sauarely in the
heart.
Mr, Elwood brought the heads to
Omaha. Ho will mount them and will
makes robes of the hlaen, which he will
then send to Mr. Rockefeller at Cleve
land. The meat was whipped to Kansas
City, Chicago and other points.
