FOR THE STATE CONTEST,
Huron College is the Last to Select
an Orator for State Contest
Next Month,

Last Friqay evening the Huron COL
lege held its local oratorical contest
for the purpose of selecting an orator
from its student ranks to represent the
college in the state contest which will
be held in Mitchell on the 17th of next
month. The young man who won the
honor is Oscar Tell, the title of his sub
ject being the "Puritans. One year
ago Huron tool k it's fret part in q state
oratorical contest and for so young
college made an excellent showing, for
their orator won second place against
Mitchell's first. The two orators then
went to North Dakota to engage in the
interstate contest, where the victory
OF the state contest was reversed, HUI
ron taking first and Mitchell second.
For it's first year Huron has good cause
to feel proud of her achievements.

State Debt Growing Less.

State Register: The debt of the
state is less now than at any time since
admission into the Union. The great
advance in land values, and the wonder
ful influx of settlers will enable the peo-
pie to pay off the indebte dness in less
Than ten years, without requiring more
than one mill tax levy annually for
bond interestand sinking fund. In fact
the present prosperity will make the
tax rate less every year, and the bonds
of the state will soon be entirely wiped
OUT. Then the general fund will re-
celve good income for several years
on account OF back payments of bond ir..
terest and penalty. Tho people can
then afford to pay their state officers .
reasonable salary. The governor, su.
preme court, circuit judges ard attor-
ney general should all have increased
salaries at once. No ordinary city, and
few counties in the state pay 40 small
salary to their legal representatives az
is paid to our attorney general. The
provisions of the constitution ars far
too inadequate in many respects and
common sense dictates that change
should take place as soon az can be In
this respect.

would take at least $1,000 to restore
the contents of the house and put the
building in the same repair. He stat
ed that all the seats in the house are
ruined by being water soaked and that
in time the glued parts of the chairs
will separate and they will become
useless. He stated that the amount of
insurance carried on the building was
approximately about $4,000. Mr..
Manuix was asked as to what were the
plans of Mrs. Sickler and Mr.. Bradley
in reference to putting the opera house
in rs good condition as before the fire.
and in anewer statated that he had not
as yet discussed any plans for the
future, and it would be impossible for
him to state whether the building
would be rebuilt or not. He thought
there WAS likelihood that they would
restore the opera house.
Just how the building caught fire is
very much of mystery and any num-
ber OF theories are sfloat Some
think it the work of an incendiary
while others lay it to spontaneous com.
bustion. The house had not been occu-
pied for twenty-four hours before and
there was no fire in the furnaces.
1t 10 an unfortunate circumstance
that the building should be destroyed
just at q time when it was needed for
for the coming gatherings this summer.

AN INFORMAL RECEPTION.
w. G. T. q. and Baptist Ladies' En-
tertain in Honor of Mrs.
Kline at the Church,

1t was unfortunate that the weather
OF Monday evening WAS so inclement as
to prevent larger attendance at the
informal reception rendered to Mrs. M.
E. Kline by the W. CT. U. and the
Baptist ladies, which was held at the
Baptist church. However, there was
fairly good number braved the ele-
ments and attended and they were we'll
repaid for 80 doing. A refreshment
table was laid in the lecture room of the
church from which the refreshments
were served and while this was being
done several parties responded to
toasts. Mrs. G. E. Hager presided as
toastmistress and welcomed the people
to meet an old friend in Mrs. Kline.
Rev. Mr.. Hager spoke in behalf of the
W. g. T. U. and referred to the work
accomplished by Mrs. Kline for temper
ance when she was resident of Mitch
ell years ago.
Rev. Mr.. Gunderson spoke for the
Baptist church, and among many other
goc.s things, said the inspiration of
Mrs. Kline's work-so faithfully per-
formed in the church years ago-yet
remained and would continue.
Geo. A. Silsby spoke brotherly words
of appreciation of her business life and
methods while working in our midst
years ago. he gave due praise for the
influence of the christian woman upon
the character of our better
civilization and anticipated the day
when our municipal life would reflect
even more fully the light from such
ideals as were upheld by noble woman's 3
hands
Mrs. Kline in responding to the kind
words said of her on her return to
Mitchell after so many years of absence
felt more than repaid for making the
trip. She was glad to see Mitchell so
prosperous as there was evidence on
every hand that the city was growing
up strong. None could appreciate the
building up OF the city 80 much as one
who has been away for 80 many years
and then see the nearly complete trans
formation in the way OF business and
residence building. The affair was q
very pleasant one both to Mrs. Kline
and to those who participated in the
reception. Mrs. Kline is the treasurer
OF the Woman's Baptist Foreign Miss
ionary society and now MAKES her
home in Chicago, for which place she
left this morning.

WHY SoT TELL THE THUrIie

For some time past we have been
hearing from Washington and Manila
that the "iDsurrcctIoo- is suppressed,
and this has been given as the reason
why General Otis could be spared
from the Philippines.
We have been hearing substantial-
ly the same thing ever since tie war
was month or two old. And we
have been hearing it with substau-
. italy the same details, such rs the
Hight or capture Of Aguinaldo and
the capture OF some individual who
was the brains and the spirit Of re-
sistance to American authority.
With these stories we have the
snme Old contradictions. From the
same quarter whence we heard that
Aguiualdo was dead, we have heard
within day or so that lie was gath.
ering a force in the north OF L,zun to
keep up TIC fight during the rainy
season.
Since getting the latest positive rs.
surancc that-the lighting in the archi
pelago was practically over we have
heard Of numerous bloody fights and
the killing OF some hundreds of Fill.
pinos.
We have also heard from the War
Department that canned roast beef
must be supplied the troops in the
interior of the island, because live
cattle cannot be taken TO them with
out great risk Of capture by the in.
| surGcnts. Aud now we hear from
the same source that more men arc
needed and that extraordinary means
of securing enlistments are to be
adopted.
Why cannot the administration he
content to tell us the plain truth
about these things?
The people are entitled TO know
the truth and where so mucn effort is
made to befog them they are rathe r
likely to suspect that matters are
much worse than any one has repre-.
sentcd them to bc.--Chicago Chroni.
