ORATORIC AL.
The Closest Contest OF Several Years
Expsotsd-Ths Six Contest ants.

With the closing of the football sea
son interes. in oratory in the several
colleges has revived and all are tai
ing the best care to get their best man
for the state intercollegiate contest al
Indianapolis in January.
The class primaries at Earlnam are
over and the six fortunate CONTESTANTS
as announced in the PALLADIUM are
making every effort to do creditabie
work. OF the contestants two Are
Richmond boys: Earle Harold, who
took third place in the college contest
last year and is president of the Ora
toric al association, and Harold kapp.
The former, who is a senior and grad
uated in 1896 from the Richmond
High school, has been engaged IN ora
torical work of some kind throughout
his school life and will doubtless prove
a strong man. The latter, the son or
Rev. Kapp, is a freshman and though
less experienced has apleasing delivery
and a good voice.
The sophomore representative, Mr.
lowering, won his place in the closest
contest Of the four and was genuine
surprise. He seemed to have An IN
SEPARATION that was taken by the au-
dience and was Of material aid to his
success He is near relative to
Joshua lowering.
Of the Juniors, Mr.. Kelsey who
took first place, has for his subject
Prince Bismarck" He has made
his study of the subject from the or 81
nal German and drawn his inspiration
from the true lovers and friends OF
Bismarck. Mr.. Kelsey lives in Chicago
and holds Demorest medal won In q
competition there. He received third
place in his class contest last year and
| is expected to make a very creditabl-
81 owing this year.
The other Junior representative
Oscar Moore of Marion, has ATTENDED
Wilmington college, Ohio. three years
and won second place in the oratorica
contest there recently. He has beer
assistant pastor IN the Friends church
at that place.
Mr.. Manley the senior representative
with Mr.. Harold, is president of Ioniar
society and has done a great deal Of
work in elocution. He is secretary o.
both the college and state intercol
legiate tennis associations, and IS {
valuable member of nearly all the so
cieties and clubs of Earlham. He anf
Mr.. Harold were almost tied for frs
in their class, and each is feared by
the other contestants.
In fact, no one about the collegs
would like to predict who will win th'
contest, though sill feel confident Earl
ham will not lose her high standard IL
orxtory among the other colleges this
year. More entered the class prima
ries than is customary, and the win
ners won over those who were them
selves good orators.

THE GAS SUPPLY.

natural gas situation in this state:
Almost all of the cities in the gas

miles for a supply. All have exhausted
tbs supply under them, and in this wsv

leaving about 1,T00 to be drawn upon
at present. Many. if not one-half. of
them are the individual property of
manufacturers. The area of the nat

square miles. 1t is rapidly narrowing.

i,ooo squsre miles, while the pressure

lowing disclosure:

question of fuel at the infirmary. The
county buys gas of the Chesterfield
company and since the cold snap set in

The cases mentioned yesterday as
having been settled against Thomas
Hindman and John Evans, at Greens
fork, were settled SO favorably TO Hind

they promiyed to be good IN the future
and not violate the law any more. the
cases were of the sort known as dead

hang over the heads of the men and
will be used against them If there Is
