Iowa City, May 6.-Wisconsin will
probably be dropped from the Quing-
tagular intercollegiate Debating
League and the state universities of
Iowa, Nebraska, illinois and Minnesota
will combine in a new debating organ
ization next year. according to present
indications. It is understood that the
Badgers are DESTROYS of entering into
two-year contracts for debates with
the University of Michigan, which
makes the re-arrangments of the or
CARNATIONS mutually agreeable.
The try-outs for the varsity cams
in the University of Iowa are sched-
uied for June 4. The central bank
question has been chosen for argu-
ment and this will be the question
probably for next years forensic
clashes between Iowa, Minnesota. Ne

IMPORTANT DRAINAGE DECISION.
Suureme Court Sustains Story County
Case Of Wide I'm port.

Special 10 TimeS-Republican.
Nevada, May 6.-One of the most i'm
portant decisions, SO far as drainage
matters are concerned. that has been
handed down by the supreme court for
some time was Thai in the matter o.
George p. Johnson against the board
OF supervisors OF Story county, In
which the supreme court upheld the
decision of the lower court, Judge r.
NJ. Wright presiding, in the November
term Of the district court in this
county
The case was one in which the APP
pellant's attorney attacked the con-
stirutionality Of the right Of the board
TO levy a second tax OF property Of q
drainage district without personal SER
vice either upon the land owner or the
tenant, denying the sufficiency OF a
notice by publication.
The matter arose over an assessment
on property owned by the plaintiff in
Franklin township, this county. The
case was tried in the district court and
Judge Wright upheld the action Of the
board. The plaintiffs lawyers appealed
the case TO the state supreme court,
and in an opinion handed down We'd
nesday the higher cou took the same
view Of the situation. The case is one
that. according to the opinion Of local
attorneys, will have q bearing upon at
least 80 different drainage districts
or er the state.
