THE CHURCHILL PRIZES.

-
An Interesting O%ratoricai Confess
dents of Yankton Coilege-The
Prize Speakers.
A large audience of admiring friends
OF the students of Yankton college
gathered at the Congregational church
last evening to listen to the declama.
tons of eight of its young gentlemen
students for the Churchill prizes
That they all were
highly entertained is manifested by the
remarks heard to-day from those who
were present. A varied programme had
been prepared AID a look at it will con-
vince the reader that much time and
study must have been given to the Sc
lections. Limited space forbida lengthy
remarks on this popular subject and we
can comment only upon the work of the
three prize winners and one of their
associates.
The Painter of Seville, given by
jay Elias Morris. was the second num-
Der on the programme and after listen
ing to all the rest there was but one con-
cluslon for not only the judges but for
the admirers OF other excellent speakers
that Mr.. Morris was entitled to the first
prize.
In the matter of the second prize the
judges seemed to hang fire, between the
declarations of Henry A. Trip and
Paul Pierce, but finally the fact that Mr.
Trip had to be prompted threw the
favor to MIR. Pierce, who was awarded
second place. In favor of Mr.. Tripp's
effort not too much can be said. It
was mastery and but for that one
second of f~orgetfulness, he would have
won.
To Fred g. Pound the third place was
given, and he won it by hard work.
The committee of award consisted OF
Rev. A. L. Riggs, of Santse agency,
Rev. Geo. L.. Hunt, OF Yankton, and
Rev. Geo. W. Mitchell, of New Castle,
Nebraska. From the few remarks made
by Mr.. Riggs, after the decision of ths
committee, we concluded that en-
conragement for hard work in school
was the aim of the committee, and
that from that stand point
the decision was made. The purse OF
twenty-five dollars was divided into
prizes of twelve, eight, and five dellars.
representing respectively the first.
second and third prizes.
Loud applause and handsome bou.
quets crested each speaker on the con-
cluslon Of his defamation, and the
utmost good feeling prevailed among the
contestants,
Not q small portion of the programme
were the selections rendered on the
piano by Misses Ketchum, MacGregoi
and Carrier,
The winners of the prizes chose theil
subjects as follows:
Jay Elias Morris-The Painter Of
Seville.
Paul Pierce-Plea of Sergeant Buzfuz
in Berdwell vs.. Pickwick.
Fred g. Pound-John Brown at Har
per's Ferry.
The other contestants were: Edward
D. Disbrow, of Akron, Iowa; Henry a
Trip, OF Yankton; Henry w. Jamison
of Dover; George w. Wilder, of auton
Albert Barnes, of New Haven, Connecti
cut.
The prizes go to Akron, Iowa-Mr
Morris; Bismarck, Dakota-Mr. Pierce
Yankton, Dskota-Mr. Pound.

indicates as the most reliable of medicinal safe
guards-Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Entirely
free from the obiections-and they arc
valid ones-which attach to the mineral
alkiloid qninine. 1t is far more effective, and
it's effect are not eyanescent, but lasting, un-
like those of the drug. There are portions o
our land-and mono more beautiful and more
fertile--which at no seasons of the year are
entirely exempt from the malaria scourge. In
such regions Hostetter's stomach Bitters has
undergone q continuous test for the past thirty
reputation beyond all cavil as a special defense
against every form of malarial disease. For
| billiousness, also, it is an acknowledged spe-
ciic, and it is a potent remedy for constlpa-
ton, dyspepsia, rheumatism and an impcver-
ished condition of the blood.
