INTERCOLLEGIATE ORATORS.
Being Perfected for
Next Seasons Contest

The federated literary societies of the state
university, which have charge of the debates
with the Wisconsin and Iowa universities,
have succeeded in raising the deficit on last
years debates. The new compacts for next
springs debates with the Wisconsin and Iowa
students have been submitted to these uni
versities. but up to date no acceptance has
been received.
BY the new compact the judges of the de-
bate will be from the state in which the de-
bate is held, for the reason that such an ar
rangement will reduces expenses considerably
1t is not thought that this will affect the de-
cision, as the visitors have won in the last
two or three debates with Iowa under these
conditions. The new compact also provides
that the question for debate shall be sub
mitted by Nov. Is of the previous year. At
the present time a debating team of about
thirty-fve is busy at tho state university
formulating a question for the Iowa debate.
In case the compact now under advisement
is accepted. The selection of debaters will
occur early in December and the debate
probably in April.
Interest in literary society work has in
creased greatly at the "U' this fall, and the
membership of the four academic societies is
nearly completed. Two new societies have
been started one Of them among the Scandi-
navian students.

LINCOLN, Neb. Nov. 1-Mr. and Mrs.
Bryan reached their home in this city
at III o'clock today. after an absence
of several weeks duration In order
to be able to spend the day with their
children, it was necessary for Mr..
Bryan to depart from the rule which
he has invariably followed since his
nomination, of not travelling on Sun
day. They came from Council Bluffs,
where they spent last night with
friends, on their special train, covering
the distance in a little over an hour.
There were no stops or demonstra-
lions on the way as 1t was not known
In advance whether the homecoming
would occur last night or today There
was quite an assemblage Of personal
friends at the Lincoln station and the
candidate and his wife were welcomed
by many cordial handshakes I'M
mediately upon their arrival they were
ushered into carriage and driven
10 their own residence. There Mr.
Bryan might have been anything but
a presidential candidate, so quietly
was the day spent after reaching
home. There were few callers, but
they consisted for the most part of
Fellow townsmen and none Of them
spent more than sufficient time to in
quire after the personal welfare Of Mr..
Bryan and his wife. Mr.. Bryan con-
fessed to all that he felt the need Of
securing good days rest. He accord
ingly retired early in the afternoon
and was still sleeping at 5 o'clock,
Mrs. Bryan standing guard at the
door to prevent intrusion Of any kind.
In the few words that he did speak
10 callers, Mr.. Bryan asserted his I'M
shaken confidence in the success of his
cause, and he has never since the be-
ginning of the campaign appeared more
cheerful or more hopeful than he was
TO-DAY. He believes the people are
thoroughly aroused, and will sustain
him at the polls, but said that if per-
chance they should fail to do SO he
would not consider the cause of bimet-
aillsm lost He thinks that, in the con-
urgency of defeat at this time, imme-
date preparation should begin for the
campaign of 1900. The last day Of the
campaign will be devoted wholly to
Mr.. Bryan's own state, and will be a
long and 1aborious one Leaving Lin
coin at $50 a. m. tomorrow he will go
westward as far as Grand Island, and
from that point return over another
railroad line in time to reach Lincoln
at 5:3O, making speeches of a few min
utes' duration at all important points
going and coming. He will stop at
Lincoln on his return long enough to
make last address to the people Of
his home town, and will then proceed
to Omaha, where, between the hours
OF Z and IL o'clock he Is expected to
make five to seven speeches. Irnme-
diately after the last speech in Omaha
Mr.. Bryan will return again to Lincoln
SO as to be here on election day. Mrs
Bryan WILL accompany her husband
through the state, but will not go to
Omaha with him.

Fourth. The committee also claims
