Interest at the University for the
past week has been centered ia oratory.
The Junior Exhibition was held Mar.
20. This is a time honored contest
between one representative from each
of the five debating societies in the
college of Letters and Science. 1t
resulted in a tie between Jessie l..
Nelson of Castalia with the Grafton
1.-THE Turk Must Go" and Harry G..
Forrest Of Athenae with an grafton,
FJCan of Are" In tie fnal contest
last evening the winners in the Junior
lex" competed with six orators
chosen by private contests. The ora
tion, THE American Jingo," by
Robert Wild, 81, of Hesperia, was
given first place and "The Ischmaels
of Mankind" by Edward T. Fox, 90, of
Philomathia, second place. The
oratorical banner was granted to
Hesperia for the greatest number of
points in the final contest. Mr.. Wild
received the Lewis prize and a gold
medal. He will represent Wisconsin
in the Northern Oratorical League.
The engineering societies held their
annual joint debate this evening. The
question was 'Would it be advisable
for the city of Madison, under present
conditions, to establish and operate
an electric plant for lighting
purposes?" 1t was debated on the
affirmative by p. +. Leuth, '9S, II. j.
Thorkelson, '98, and NJ. II. Spindler,
'9S, of tho Engineers Association. and
on the negative by r. A. Nommensen,
'99, John Barr, 90. and T. G.. Nee, so,
of the engineers Club. The negative
won the decision.
The Yale race is assured and a new
vigor isgiyen to the work of the crews.
Although only a narrow strip of Men

The Midwinter athletic meet was
held March "a. The freshmen downed
the sophOmores in the cane spree.
G. A. Squire, '9s. won the middle and
heavy weight wrestling. Some inter
esting exhibitions of jumping and
yaulting were given which helped to
bring out some Of the new men. An
invitation meet was held at the
gymnasium this evening with Potter
Of North Western, Steigmeier of
and Jackson OF Lake Forest |
as visiting athletes.
The arrangements for the annual |
lnterscholastic meet, to be held here |
May 20, are nearly completed. The |
object OF this meet is to stint late a |
greater interest in track athletics in
the high schools. The northern part |
Of the state has never been represent
ed in these meets, largely in con-
sequence Of the great distance and |
attendant expense OF sending a team,
but it is to be hoped that an increased |
interest in athletics win soon Q ger

Fire in the Gas Works.

Fire broke cut in the River Falls
Gas Works about three o'clock Satur-
day afternoon and did considerable
damage before brought under control
by the fire company The blaze start
ed through the carelessness of a lad,
occasionally employed by the company,
who attem pied to light the furnaces
by means of tow saturated in gasoline.
The flame from the tow followed the
trail of the gasolene to a tank, and
though the boy fought briskly with
his coat, the flames soon filled the
room and he thought best TO get out
of the way.
In three minutes the fire had
gained roaring Roadway and burst
through the front of the building.
There was some hesitation in getting
the water to play owing to the cry
that the fire was near the retort and
the oil tanks were in danger. Under
the direction of AL. Smith, foreman
of the works, the hose were soon doing
effective work, however; the roof was
torn open and the fire, in short time,
done to death.
Though the Gas Works were supply
ing light the second night after the
fire. three hundred dollars will scarce
ly repair the damage.

The True Remedy.

". NJ. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, H.,
"Chief," says: 1--WE won't keep house
without DR.. Kings New Discovery
for Consumption, Coughs and Colds.
Experinented with many others, but
never got the true remedy until we
used Dr. Kings New Discovery. No
other remedy can take its place in our
home, as in it we have a certain and
sure cure for Coughs, Gods, Whoop-
ing Cough, etc" 1t is idle to expert
ment with other remedies, even (
they are urged on you as just as COOL
as DR.. Kings New Discovery. They
are not as good, because this remedy
has a record of cures and besides is
guaranteed. 1t never fails to satisfy.

Now that the Normal Entertain
ment Course is closed, some comment
in regard to it., embracing, in a
measure, public opinion, may not be
Out Of place. The course in itself has
been very successful. 1t has drawn
large crowds from town and many
people from a distance, who for the
most part have heen highly enter
tanned. 1t is notable too, that people
coming from towns less fortunate
than our own, are almost unqualified
i'm their praise of the entertainments.
1t is true that some of the more inn
posing names on the list first suggest
ed as possible lecturers, dropped off
one by one, but this was due in all
cases to unforeseen difficulties. A
course for another year, planned
more deliberately, and with the help
of this years experience, could easily
escape this confusion. Another thing
that demands attention-and this
the real one-is the sale of seats
The present arrangement has been
fruitful Of much dissatisfaction,
especially among business people. In
geniOus as il was, Il required too
much time. To sell the desirable
seats at auction as is sometimes done
in large cities, is undemOcratic, and
would not do for River Falls. The
plan that remains, then, would seem
to be to appoint a time before the
first lecture for reserving all seats for
the season. This, besides making it
we'll worth while for a business man
to see that his seats are reserved,
would greatly encourage the sale of
season tickets, and thus al the start
secure the financial success of the

Only half a house greeted the Jen-
ME Wetmore Company in Aunt Je-
rusha" at Opera Hall last night, but
a full program of all sorts of comedy
acting, merry songs, and lively dances,
was given TO the audience with very
good grace by the eight or nine per-
formers. We confess TO but half a
liking for the ordinary farce comedy,
but with So good a man for the COM
edy parts as Tim Ryan proved him
self to be, aunt Jerusha" need never
go a-begging for favors. Whether as
Joe Barker, the green hand on the
farm, or Timothy Nahara, the Irish
servant aud protege of Aunt Jerusha,
Ryan was always natural and irresti-
bly, funny. Interest in his work never
tagged, and he seemed as full of re-
sources when the final curtain went
down as when he raised a laugh by his
first appearance. Miss " gilmore was
uniformly good, but part of the support
was very unprepOSsessing. II Mr..
Wheeler knows anything about New
York gentlemen, he surely knows that
none of them use the exaggerated airs
that he assumed In Offering Jerusha

would better suit the part. and little

numbers were always applauded. A
