old d. Hughes, Wisconsin Normal.
As each orator appeared on the plat.
form he was greeted with cheers from
his delegation and waving of hand
kerchiefs and canes. AS at all college
contests, the crowd was wildly enthu.
siastic, and the friends of each orator
lent their enthusiasm to inspire him
to victory.
The judges were: Thought and com

On May Q, 1895, the intercollegiate
oratorical contest was held at Gales
burg, Illinois, Iowa, Colorado, Ne
braska, Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana,
Missouri, Ohio and Kansas partici-
pated.
After the contest, state normal
schools were ruled out of all future
meetings, because their course of study
did not come up to requirements. The
normals objected to being dropped in
such SUMMARY bidniivI, anu o.~~...
ingly made preparations to form an
association Of their own.
On October II a meeting of delegates
from normals of different states was
held at St Joseph. A constitution and
bylaws were adopted, and officers
elected as follows: President, Chas.
f. johnson, Cedar Falls. Iowa; vice
president, II. E. Osborne, Warrensburg,
Mo. secretary treasurer, F. s. Bogar-
dus, Normal, Illinois. The first meet
ing place was Warrensburg, May 8,
1896.
Each state is entitled to one orator in
the interstate contest so that if the
state oratorical association of any
state is composed of more than one
school, such association must hold a
contest between the various schools
comprising it and send the successful
contestant to the interstate meeting.

the state under the old University
school grant, over which there has been

made, by the last congress, under
which additional grant was made to

were desirable. The market was good,
and all were sold but the steers sold

were not up to the high notch. but the

The Billmeyer Suit Still Occupies the
Attention of Judge Clark.

The suit of Matte Billmeyer against

So far the allegations of the fair
plaintiff have been heard, and the hear
ing Of the allegations on the husbands S
cross complaint are now in course Of
hearing. They are long drawn out, and
the real spicy details have not yet
reached the maximum of interest. 1t
was testified to yesterday that Mrs. Bill
meyer had been surprised on one occa-
sion comfortably esconsed on a gentle
mans knee, but as she maintained that
she was treating him for dandruff, and
every one knows what close attention
dandruff needs, it may be that she was
sitting on the gentleman's knee in
purely business and not especially
friendly way.
The statutory charge has not yet been
even alluded to, save indirectly, but to-
day the names of the several correspond
ents will figure, and an effort will be

Guilty arose. One Of the Foster boys
made the assertion that Pedro Lugo's
brother had lied, and Pedro retorted
by saying hotly that anyone that ac-
cused his brother of lying was himself
a liar. The matter dropped there for a
time. but just when Pedro was dallying
tenderly with a chicken wing Frank
Foster leaned over and struck Lugo just
in the place where the chicken he was
engaged in eating had got it an hour or
two before-right in the neck. Lugo
dropped to the floor; somebody put the
lights out and free fight ensued.
Finally. when order was somewhat re-
stored, the Foster brothers left the
house, as 1t was thought, for good. Not
long after, however, they returned ana

threatenings of vengeance meanwhile.
For all these sins Pedro Lugo wants
satisfaction, and he yesterday made

ney Williams against Frank and Albert

VOTING FRAUDS.
District Attorney Gives the CountyClerk
Gentle Reminder.

District Attorney Donnell yesterday
forwarded to County Clerk Newlin a
communication wherein he called the
attention of the latter to sections 1908,
1904 and 1908 of the Political Code, as
amended by chapter 206, laws of '95.
These sections, with sections 1905 of the
Political Code, as amended by chapter
220, laws '93, are explicit as to what may
be taken into the polling booths by vot-
ers, the manner of voting and the Gid
certain voters may receive in markiSN
their ballots.
1t had come to the knowledge of the
district attorney that certain parties
were discussing the advisability of dis
tributing to voters stencils made Of ts-
sue paper. BY laying these over the
ballot only the names of the candidates
belonging to the party for whom the
voter desired to cast his ballot could
show and the illiterate and ignorant
could thus affix their mark without fear
of, by mistake, beneflting an opposition
candidate. But the taking of stencils,
or any other aid or device into the poll
ing booths is in violation of the spirit
, and the letter of the lawAand for this
reason the attention of County Clerk
Newlin has been called to the matter.
