A very nice audience assembled at the
Seward opera house last Friday night to
listen to the debate between the Colum-
bus and Seward schools. The question
for debate was, Resolved, That cities
should own and control their own fran
chises." Columbus took tho affirmative
which was ably presented by Albert
Brugger. Bertha Chapin and Harry
Jerome Although the judges pronounc-
ed the decision in favor Of Seward it was
not generally accepted - fair, the sym
pathy OF . great many Of the Seward
people being with Columbus, and the
Columbus representatives have occasion
to feel disappointedover the result. Tho
entertainment afforded by the Seward
people was very nice. The Columbus
representatives were met at tho train by
sleiehs and explored the town until
noon. In the afternoon literary enter
tainment was held at tho school. After
the debate q reception was given at the
home OF Mr.. II. ]. Jones where the young
people enjoyed themselves until mid
night. The next afternoon . ball was
enjoyed at the home Of George Badson
and the time was spent with billiards and
dancing. Columbus has challenged
Seward to q return debate xhich will be
held here in the spring. It is hoped that
We can entertain them as royalty ~ We
