of the season, was the one which took
place at Westminster yesterday after
noon between the teams of Westches'

at Everson last night about $50
o'clock. two men were shot more or
less seriously.
Three Americans had an eight-gal-
lon key of beer at !" Brother en-. CO
Davis house, and while the beer was
being disposed OF, four Italians came
along, and were invited. to help. When
the key was emptied, some one pro-
posed taking up a collection to procure
another.
This the white men agreed to, but
the foreigners refused. Davis and
Aaron Thorn became very much in
censed at this and Davis hit one OF
the men. This started the battle. One
Italian ran out of the house and up a
bank, pulled a revolver and opened
fire. Thorn was shot through the
hand and head The ball entered just
above the right ear, plowed along the
scalp and came out the back OF his
head. Davis was shot through the
left arm, the ball breaking the bone.
Dr.. Alkire, who dressed the wounds,

oRAToRY AND MUSIC RECITAL
College Students Hold Closing Recital
of Music And oratory Tuesday
Evening at Germania Hall.

A good audience listened to the clos
Ing recital of the department of music
and oratory of The college given at
Germania hall last Tuesday evening.
The stage was arstistically arranged
and decorated with potted plants.
There was but one graduate from each
department.. Miss B ertha Newcom in
music and Miss Hilda Brodersen in
oratory. Besides the numbers render
ed by the graduates, were the opening
selection by the Denison orchestra, a
violin solo by Miss Genevieve Laly,
and a tenor duet by Messrs. Hover and
Chamberlin.
For the past year the department of
music has been under the supervision
of Prof. NJ. G. Hover, assisted by Miss
Essie Smith. Prof Hover has row been
in charge of the musical work OF the
college for several years and that de-
partment of the collage work has been

in hourshing condition every since
his severices have been engaged.
Miss Newcom, the graduate of the de-
partment of music is a pianist OF great
skill ard wonderful execution. Her
playing on this occasion was very
pleasing and was received with much
applause.
Miss Brodersen has been a popular
reader in Denison for two or three
years. She has taken high rank in all
the declamatory contests of the high
school in which she has entered. She
was at her best on this occasion and
she held the close attention of the
audience while she rendered two selec-
tons of highly dramatic character.
She has been under the training of
frof. John Dunn Martin who has had
charge of the department of oratory
for the past three years. Mr.. Martin
has been one OF the most successful
trainers in the art of reading ever
coming to Denison, and we are sorry
he is not to be with us another wear.
Next September he will begin work at
the Simpson college as an assistant in
structer in elocution and we predict
for him seccessful cureer in the
future.

the fact that they have been tried by
9th rs and have proven failures. Our
written constitution and Our system Of
suffrage are producing grand. results.
A representative system of government
over so vast territory has succeeded
largely on account of the mechanical
Inventions OF the age. The world is
much smaller than it used to be and in
the words of the speaker mas become
a whispering gallery" Immigration
is another experiment which has sue
ceeded. Since 1873 there have been
more than 2O,O00,000 immigrants. the
great maj ,rity of whom have become
good citizens.
One of the many unique advantages
which we possess is the fact that we
started from state of civilization. At
the very beginning our population was
made up of the best blood of Europe
and we have acquired supremacy cas-
lily. Another advantage mentioned
was the performance of common
language as compared with some places
in Europe where one cannot 60 thirty
miles without coming in contact with
an entirely different language from
that he had just left. Further, we
have no caste system nor system of
aristocracy.
In spite of oil our points OF superior.
ity the speaker pointed out many de-
fective places in our social system.
Our American city governments have
proven total failure. The average
government of European cities is far
better than that of our own, and since
nearly one-third CT our population lives
in cities the problem is one of the most
serious ones confronting us today. We
have not solved the problem OF eauit-
able taxation: We are unable TO avert
financial panics. We have been unable
to preserve at ali times the proper
equilibrium between protection and
free trade. In all our experience with
tarih legislation we nave learned but
two things, viz: the tariff may be made
50 low as to produce no revenue. or it
may be made so high as to shut out all
imports and consequently produce no
revenue. We have not accomplished
the equal distribution of wealth nor
never shall until there is an equality

Many other points OF Weaknesses

The subject of the address vas
America. an opportunity. The
speaker held the close attention of the
audience throughout the entire ad-
dress and at the close there was not a
person in the house who was not more
proud of his nationality than whan he
entered. After the singing of Amer
lea, - the diplomas were presented to
the class by Hon. j.. P. Conner.
The address of the evening vas one
of the best on the subject ever given in
Denison. Added to the scope of his
theme the speaker possessed most of

patriotic sentiments expressed, inter
spersed with rare wit aad humor made
the address an entertaining and inspir-
ing one, which held the close attention
of the audience till the close.
He said there are al present in exist
ence 5 indep pendent states, while but 9
few years ago the number was much
larger. At the time of the French
Revolution there were 20 German
states each Independent of the other,
while today they all form che great
empire. From ancient times every
state which had an independent exist
ence thought it had great mission In
the world and would live forever: but
of all these hundreds of governments

sons were assigned for the fall Of me-
lions: No nation has ever been wise
enough to avo d all errors cor upright
enough to resist all temptations, nor
