Under the postoffice department reg

ISSUE ULTIMATUM
Augustana Debaters Are Exasperated
With Tactics of Bethany Represen-
atives Regarding Contest.
TWO QUESTIONS ARE REFUSED
Were Submitted by Rock Island Team.
and After Much Delay, Are Turned
Down-Must Decide or Quit.

AS the result of action taken last
Augustana college to represent the
against Bethany college,
Lindsborg, Kan, the annual forensic
contest, which was scheduled to take
place here the latter part of the spring
term, will probably be called Off The
action taken by the debaters amounts
practically to an ultimatum to Beth
any college to either cease their dilly-
dallying tactics or call off the debate
Augustana submitted two questions
to the Kansas institution for approval
during the fall term. The first ques.
ton submitted was rejected by Beth
any about December 1, whereupon a
second question was submitted Ate.
delay of more than a month. reply
was received yesterday also rejecting
this question. The objection made by
Bethany was that the question was too
broad and that they could not debate
it under the present wording.
VIII Submit No More.
tied in which to hold a preliminary
contest and then prepare for the
finals, the Augustana debaters decided
last night to return the question to
Bethany as it now stands with a re
fusal to submit new one. The ques
ton under dispute reads as follows:
Resolved, That Individualism is the
Chief Force that Operates in Oul
Country's Industrial and Economic
Progress
The question is, purely an economic
and sociological one, in which depart
ments Augustana is acknowledged t.
be exceptionally strong. Il is supposed
that Bethany is timid about meetin:
Augustana ON these grounds. Accord
ling to the action of the local debater
last night, Bethany is given one wee,
in which to reply. If the debate i
called off, it will probably mean tn
end of intercollegiate debates be
tween the two institutions.

two weeks of mild weather has had its

where above Clinton down. On Rock

FIRE TOOK SALOON
Rock Island Brewing Company Build
ing at SiIvis is Food for the
zs~ Flames.
LOSS IS ABOUT $4,000
Blaze Started in Basement of Place
Occupied by Fred Hansen, Pos
sibly by Ineendiary.

The building in Silvis occupied by
Fred Hansens saloon. was destroyed
~ fire during last night and the total
loss will reach $4,000. The building,
located on First avenue between
Eighth and Ninth streets, was owned
by the Rock Island Brewing company,
and was built but two years ago.
The fire started in the basement and
was well under way before it was dis
covered. A number of men were en-
gagged in playing cards in the saloon
when suddenly cloud of smoke burst
into the room The Silvis volur-
.eer firemen were soon at work with
buckets and chemicals but they were
Helpless until the fire department of
he Silvis shops came to their aid and
by laying over 1900 feet of hose sue
ceeded in getting a stream of water
at work on the fire.
Nearly Complete LOSS.
1t was seen at once that the saloon
building was doomed and the principal
efforts of the fire fighters were direct
ed towards saving the surrounding
buildings From IL O'Clock last nigh!
until o'clock this morning the fight
was continued until the fire was fin
ally conquered and the other building:
were saved. The first floor of the
saloon building fell into the basement
and the second floor nearly. Followed
The third floor was badly burned ant
the loss is practically complete.
The insurance will probably cover
he entire loss. The bar fixtures wers
insured for $4,000. Just how muci
was lost by the roomers who livet
in the second and third floors of tn,
building is not known. It is believe,
that the fire was of incendiary origin
as like attempt has made on anethe
saloon building recently.
