PROTEST FROM vERMlLLIoN
State University Debating Leagu
Have Filed Protest on Decision
of Judges in Debate

Wednesday evening the officers of
the University Debating League re-
ceived a communication from the De-
batting League of the State UNIVERSE
ty of Nermillion in which the officers
protested against the decision that
was awarded Mitchell in the debate
of last Friday evening. The protest
is made on the ground that Prof.
Woodburn, of Canton, was a mem
Der OF the faculty of Dakota Wesley
an University last year, and the sup
position is that he was biased in
making his decision.
The protest on the part of Vermil-
lion is not placed on substantial
grounds. In the first place the de-
cision of the judges was unanimous.
Had it been two to one, Vermillion
might possibly have some grounds
for protest, but even the alleged
biased opinion of Prof. WOODBURY.
would have cut no figure in the re-
suit. Another point is that Prof.
Woodburn was the selection of YER
million for one of the judges and a
protest against him comes with poor
judgment. Again, Prof. Woodburn,
according to the statement of Presi-
dent Nicholson, is not and was not
at the time a member of Dakota
Wesleyan faculty. 1t is true that he
did some work in the summer school
last year, but he was not connected
with the faculty. Under these Cir
cumstances Vermillion can hardly
make it's protest work.

CROP PROSPECTS GOOD
With the Advent of Warm Weathe,
Farmers Generally are Jubilant
Over the Situation

Wednesday and today farmers who
were in the city, gave some very en-
couraging reports or the crop stu
alton as it applies down in Union.
Lisbon, Baker, and Tobin townships
in the southern part of the coun-
ty, and in Badger and Blendon in the
north tier of townships. They give
the report that the prospect is lust
as good at this time of the year that
they ever saw it, and are not in the
least discouraged over the possibility
OF a poor crop. Wheat is coming
along in fine shape, with strong
stools, while oats and other small
grain is making a splendid showing.
They declared that they we're not
at all optimistic in what they saw
in their fields, but were conditions
which were warranted by the growth
and development of the grains. While
the weather has not been very fa-
vorable for speedy growth, the grains
nave Deen roofing we'll and are now
prepared to work over time to make
up with the season.
People who have not been in the
country long are inclined to take a
morbid view of the situation, but
the reports of the farmers have
changed the view of the situation
entirely.
This week the farmers in all parts
country are inclined to take a
plant corn and by the end of the
week or the first of next week, this
work will be accomplished. A much
greater acreage of corn will be plant
ed this season to meet the increased
stock conditions in the county.

REVEALS NEXT JANUARY
Movement Started Now to Secure
Services of Evangelist Johnson
for January, 1908.

Several OF the pastors Of the city
were over tc Alexandria last week
and attended the revival services
which were conducted by Evangelist
II. Il. Johnson. The reverend gentle.
men came home enthusiastic over
the work that was being accom-
plished there and with the honest,
sincere methods adopted by the
evangelist to save men and women
and children.
A conference. was held with the
evangelist with reference to his COM
ing to Mitchell for a series of
revivals but the best he could promise
was to come to Mitchell in January,
1908.
Those interested in securing the SER
vices of MIR. johnson and Of holding
the revivals have had a paper in
circulation to which men were asked
to attach their names as ar earnest
OF good faith that they would like to
see the Ievivals carried on here and
that they would give them their
support. The paper has been signed
very literally and without doubt an
Invitation will be extended to Mr..
johnson to give Mitchell date in
January.
At Aberdeen and Groton, during
the winter, the evangelist met with
pronounced success, converting the
greater percentage of the residents
OF Groton, and winning nearly a
thousand souls at Aberdeen. At
Alexandria Mr.. johnson has been
eqaully as successful and in the short
time he vas here he converted nearly
300 people.

With dignity and feeling, What is
Love, bY CAM. and closing with an
inspiring number OF a heavier type.
The Years at the Spring, by Beach,
and in this latter number the singer
created much enthusiasm as she
finished. With her last appearance
Miss Lathrop sang, The Rose | Gave
You, by Bischotf, and Good Night.
Beloved, by Protheroe, both of
which received rich treatment, and
in which her voice remained as true
in tone as at the first. Miss Lath-
rop's soprano is rich 10 color and
she uses it in a name that ln1i-
Gates a deep feeling in her singing
and which brings the audience in
closer touch with her work. She
expects to spend the next year or two
abroad IN studying music, :.leaving
next fall.
Miss Mccormick played the accom-
panlments of the evening With
much precision, and combining the
skill oe the pianiste with that Of an
acconpaniste, she has a happy fdcul-
ty of meeting on two grounds where
others are incapable of treading.
The young ladies were warmly
congratulated by their friends on the
splennld success OF the evening, and
Miss Lee and Miss I3eebe we're like
wise congratulated on bringing their
students to as high a degree of per-
feclion as was exemplitied in their
playing and singing.

THEIR TERM RECITAL
Misses Mccormick and Lathrop Were
Heard in a Magnificent Pro-
gram Wednesday Night.

Not in a good many years has it
been the pleasure of the writer to
listen to a recital at the University
that was marked with such artistic
talent as on the occasion Of the
recital OF Miss Fannie j. Mccormick
and Miss Hazel j. Latbrop, which
was given at the chapel Wednesday
evening before an admiring and
appreciative audience Of all that is
good in music.
The task set before the young
ladies by their Instructors, Miss Lee
the plano and Miss Beebe in voice,
was no easy one, the selections
which they gave being of a high
grade and Of the nature to show the
ability Of their students.
Miss Mccormick opened the inter-
esting program with Beethoven's
Sonata, Opus "a, in which there
we're sever movements, which pre-
sented varied themes. The player
gave them an intelligent reading.
with a decision Of playing that
marked the Importance to the whole.
Her next selection was a Waltz, Opus
II. No. 8, by Moszowski, where her
brilliancy OF execution and fine
technique was shown with excellent
effect. With a keen knowledge Of her
work before her Miss Mccormick
gave the waltz a truly rich interpre-
tation. She then played a selection
OF three numbers, varied in theme
and range Of Interpretation The
Fugue in c Minor, by Bach, was
given a digniied presentation,
while The Norwegian Wedding
March, by Greiv, was happily rend-
cred with a very capable reading,
and closing with Schubert's I'm
promptu. Opus 142, No. .. In this
number Miss Mccormick brought
into execution a technique that was
admirable, and playing it With all
ease and grace that brought her
rounds Of applause at the close. Her
last lumber was Anima Concert
Waltz. by EIubbard-Harris, that was
beautifully rendered, the theme of
which was attractive under her
touch and Interpretation, and with
the enc pllunully tine execution
brought her work Of the evening to a
close in a manner that put the lm-
press of the artist on her playing.
AT the close of her first number Mis- IS
Mccormick was presented with two
bouquets from admiling friends.
Miss Lathrop, WHO is a thorough
and conscientious student Of voice
culture, showed a remarkable ability
in her singing throughout the even
ing. She has reached a marked posi-
ton among the singers OF Mitchell
and her voice on this occasion gave
evidence OF a splendii quality. Her
first appearance was in a selection of
three numbers in German, and they
we're as pretty three hunters as we
have heard in a long time. Her
enunciation and her phrasing we're
both noticeable to a marked degree
that gave each number a finished
rendition. Die Stille, Widmung. bv
Schumann, and Chanson de Flurian,
by GODDARD. comprised the trio with
which Miss Lath1op made an ex.
cellent impression. She next sang
Sepuidille, from Carmen, that was
richly appreciated and which She
sang With easy grace. Another trio
OF selections followed with Faithful
ness, by Brahms, which was rendered

Active Pursuit of Rebates.

Springfield Republican: More rail-
roads have fallen under federal
indictment for giving rebates to the
Sugar trust. These cases apparently
arise out OF those brought against
the New York Central, which cost
that road fines OF about 5000, 600, and
the Sugar trust a smaller sum-. The
activity Of the federal department
of justice seems to be undated in
this direction, and it is we'll.

dorse and applaud your action in the
Republican Senatorial Caucus and call
upon not only the people of Delta coun-
ty but of the whole state to stand by

course which compels Mr. Guggenhcim
to speak of you in the following words:
II don't believe in Mr.. Vincent boiling.
don't believe in bolts. but | have Il
more Wholesome respect for that young
man than | can say. in that he had
rather keep his word and do what he
thought was right than to follow be-

your home town in l.iaSs meeting as

probation for the noble stand that ou
have taken and the clean cut Diet ermin-
alton you haye shown to stand for prin

sition a man in your position could meet.
and. that should you find that you are
placed, by this action, where you can
be of little service to your people in the
passage of acts of legislation, you must
still know that we are proud of your
present position and wish to encourage
you. with all our hearts, to hold stead
fast. We want men in our halls of
legis iation and in you we believe that
we have one. We desire you to know
that honest. thinking Coloradoans are
