DoANE is WINNER AT DEBATE
Creighton students Come out second
Best In Discussion Of
Arbitration.

CRETE, Neb., Feb. 13.-(Special Tele-
gram. )-Doane debaters won a decisive vic
tory over representatives from Creighton
here tonight. Carl b. Perry and Paul II.
Harrison represented Diane, while Creigh-
tons end Of the argument was upheld by
J. NJ. Fitzgerald and George H., Merten,
The question argued was:
Resolved, That our government should,
granting that II has the constitutional
right, compel the arbitration of disputes
between capital and labor"
Creighton upheld the Affirmative and
Doane the negative. The discussion proved
to be an unusually interesting one. Mr.,
Harrison was easily the star Of the even
ing. while Mr.. Merten did the best for
Creighton. Lawyers Doyle and Miller OF
Lincoln and w. W. Hastings OF WILDER
were the Judges and their decision stood
two for the negative and one for the at
hrmative.

Pe-ru-na the Soldiers Friend.

Wv
MO wonder the American Soldier is a
~ friend OF Peruna when such a re-
nowned officer as General Wheeler
gives Peruna his hearty endorsement
Every one connected with the army and
navy can have no reasonable doubts as
to the merits Of the remedy. No remedy
ever yet devised has received such I'M
stinted eulogy from so many renowned
statesmen and military men as Peruna.
There is a natural reason for this. Peruna
is a specific for catarrh. wherever located.
1t not only instantly cures acute catarrh,
but even old cases OF chronic catarrh van
ish under its persistent use. Tit soldier
is especially subject to catarrh in some
form or phase. Exposed as he is TO con-
slant changes, subjected as he is TO the
viclssitudes OF climate, wet and dry, night
and Gay, he finds catarrh to be his most
insidious and ever present foe. In field
and barracks, Peruna Is equally efhca-
cious. Taken in time 1t will absolutely
prevent catching cold. After the cold has
become established Peruna will break 1t up
quicker than any remedy known to man.
Even after the cold has settled in some
organ, Peruna can be relied upon to
promptly dispel it.
This is why Peruna is so popular in the

IL we know we could have the ad

and 70 other property in the state OF Wis
consin. so far as 7 am concerned ! would
not-speaking for the Burlington road
have any objection 10 the ad valorem
system. But I feel as though you are con
fronted with a condition in this state. You
must remember, gentlemen, that these ad
valorem systems in Illinois have been in
existence for thirty years. They are the
outgrowth OF experience. They have come
up through the years. 80 that they have
been every year the subject OF argument
and the subject OF examination.
In Iowa we have had the system since

same.

And. strange 10 say, the arguments that
we're advanced by those Who were the men
strongest In the agitation was TO drop the
al valorem system and give us the Wis
consin system. Now, that is the truth.
Give US the Wisconsin system, where we
will be out Of the political agitation, they
