LADDoNIA, Mo-, May 13.-The clos
ing of Collins Academy took place
last Friday. Stevens hall was crowd
ed during the exercises, and all felt
we'll repaid. 1t was the first term for
many Of the pupils, and they showed
great progress. The music was well
rendered and showed careful training
by their teacher, Mrs. Tucker. Pro-
fessor and Mrs. E. A. Collins are
among the best educators and their
school is conducted on the best prin-
ciples. They r up with the times in
their modes of teaching, and the pu-
pills interest ia looked after with care.
Mrs. Kidd, aged about 20 years, died
last Saturday. The funeral sermon
was preached Monday by Elder Rice.
Her son, Gus Kidd, was much devoted
his mother, and when she died his
reason seemed 10 leave him entirely
and he was a raying maniac. He was
taken to Fulton to the asylum yester-
day.

M. S. U. WON THE DEBATE.
The Judges Awarded the Honors to
the Advocates of Free Silver at the
Opera House Monday Night.
"Tiger! Tiger! NJ! s! U!
Tiger! Tiger! M s! U!

Tiger! llSer!! M! .! U!
Tiger! Tiger! Nj! 8! u"
This was the yell that resounded
through tibet eMonday night
when Hon. Sam Cook announced that
the judges of the debate had decided
in favor of the affirmative.
The Ferris Grand was well filled
with a large audience composed main
ly of Hardin girls, NJ. M. A. cadets,
M. 8. U. and Westminster students,
and every few minutes the air was
filled with college yells. The audience
was strictly a M. s. U. n and about
ten Westminster boys did all the
cheering for their side.
The curtain rose at $3.50 O'Clock and
Rev. A. A. Wallace, of the Presbyter-
ian church, invoked the blessings of
God in a beautiful prayer, after which
Hon. Sam Cook, who was chairman of
the exercises made a short speech,
explaining the order of debate. The
subject was "Resolved, That the
United States should adopt the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
and gold at the ratio of 16 to 1 re-
CARELESS of the action of any other
nation,' the M. s. U. students TAX
ing the affirmative and the Westmin-
ster students the negative. Each
| speaker was allowed twenty minutes
and Mr.. Porter, the first speaker on
the affirmative, was allowed five min
utes in which to make a closing
speech.
W. T. Porter opened for the Uni
versity and was followed by J. o
Reavis, of Westminster. George III
English was the second speaker on thu
affirmative and J. j. Alexander thu
second on the negative. The thirt
speaker on the affirmative was J. Cul
berson and he was followed by tht
last on the negative, A. o. Harrison
Mr.. Porter making the closing speech
All the speeches and arguments
were indicative of close study ant
careful research, especially those OIL
the negative. Some good points wer,
made by both sides and every speake
was loudly applauded. Judging from
the applause, Mr.. Reavis seemed t
strike a key note when he paid
glowing tribute to President Cleve
land.
The judges were Hon. c. E. More
of Columbia; Hon. J. !. Nichols, o
Fulton, and Prof. d. A. Mcmillan, @
this city.
Taken as a whole the debate was
good one, and although there wer
many who thought the gentlemen o
the negative presented the best argu
ments, yet the decision was popula
with the majority of the audience ant
of course, it is Impossible to pleas
everybody IN any debate.
