BELLEVUE DEBATERS AT WORK
Students Prepare to Contest for Place
on Various Teams for Inter-
colleGiate Meetings.

The winter months, from the close OF the
Christmas holidays until the opening OF
spring vacation the first OF April, see liter
airy and debating work In Bellevue at its
best. The literary societies will this winter
have the greatest success of years. En-
rollment on the various societies is greater
than It has been In the past, while the work
has a more aggressive character and in
dividual effort shows a marked advance.
The enthusiasm which during fall and
spring is turned toward athletics IL finding
an outlet in literary channels.
In past years the rivalry OF various So
cietie5 has usually caused many literary
contests and debates. This winter, how
ever, the presence of many debating clubs
will curtail any extensive debating between
the literary societies proper. II is probable
that one or two debates will take place
between the various literary bodies, but
not more.
In the past literary work, such as par
ticipation in oratorical contests or inter
collegiate debates. has not been given credit
toward graduation. but the Bellevue faculty
has now lntlmated the probability of a
change in this particular, whereby those
who win places on the debating teams or
as alternates. and those who take part in
the oratorical contests, shall be allowed
one collegiate credit. This change has
gone a long way in stimulating rhetorical
endeavor, but more because the work is
thus recognized and a competition for ex-
cellence aroused, rather than because Of the
credit allowed.
Debating is now in full swing and Janu-
airy will be devoted by all clubs and in
dividuals to the study and discussion of the
income tax question, which is the subject
Of the triangular Intercollegiate debate.
Early in February the local debaters will
hold a contest to choose those who shall
compose the teams for this debate. Al
teinates are also chosen for each team.
The eight highest decide among themselves
as to which six shall represent the college
at home with the affirmative of the ques-
ton aud who shall debate away from home
with re negative.
Two plendid debaters graduated last
spring. ouigley and Crossman, who, with
Phelps, rel resented Bellevue at home last
year s1d v On every contest by unanimous
vote of al judges. But there is yet an
abundance OF material II the various in
dividuals do the work they are capable of
doing. The sophomore class especially Is
showing some unexpected strength.
The last debate will be the Nebraska in
tercollegiate triangular contest arranged be.
tween Bellevue, Doane and Cotner. This
contest will come off just before the sprins
vacation, probably about the last week .r
March. The Bellevue-Cotner meet will
occur at Bellevue, with the locals uphold.
ing the affirmative OF the question. Or
the same night the Bellevue Doane contest
will be held at Crete. with Bellevue taking
the negative.

FOUR FALSE FIRE ALARMS
All Come in Less Than Half nm Hour
and Supposed to BE Work OF
Discharged Fireman.

An unidentified person, who is thought to
be a discharged member Of the fire depart
ment, amused himself early Saturday even
ing by turning in false alarms from four
different places in the city. All the alarms
came through the fire boxes and no trace
has yet been found OF the man who did
the work.
The four calls came within twenty min
utes OF each other. The first came from
Fourteenth and Capitol avenue at 7:ls
o'clock, the second from Seventh and Doug
las streets at 7:0 o'clock. the third was
from Ninth and Jones streets at 1925 o'clock
and the fourth from Thirteenth and Jack
son streets at 7:35 o'clock.
In addition to these calls there was one
from 22l3 Howard street shortly before 7
This alarm was caused from some
bed clothing which caught fire, but which
was ~extinguished before the arrival OF the
department.
An alarm from Sixteenth and Farnam
streets about 1870 o'clock was found to
have resulted from a burning chimney at
the Henshaw hotel, from which no damage
resulted.
on account Of the close proximity TO
the Burwood theater. however. the man
agement OF the playhouse decided to be
on the safe side and dismiss the aud.-
ence. The announcement was therefore
mad from the stage that there was a
small fire in the vicinity and that while
there was no immediate danger TO tie
theater 1t was deemed advisable for the
audience to take its time and leave the
building.
This was done without any excitement
or confusion and within a minute or two
the house was empty.
