THE CONTEST.
Tonight the ninth annual oratorical contest of the Kansas InterCollegiate association will be held in Topeka. The representatives of the eight colleges and universities composing the association will meet in mortal combat. One orator will be made and seven will be unmade. It promises to be the hottest contest ever herd in the state. About three thousand students representing eight different colleges and letting forth eight different yells will take the capital city by storm. Of course K. U. will be there with the largest crowd and by far the loudest yell. J.M. Challiss will make a hard fight and he will have a grand support. All the orators are in good shape and each is confident of winning.
The program, with suitable music is as follows:
L H Barrect...The Majesty of the Law
Southwest Kansas College, Winteld
N P Willits..The ..minim Epochs in Progress
Baker University, Baldwin.
Hattie M May Campbell...The Managing Man
Kenneth School, School, Emporia.
O E Collins...Agitation as a Me ns of Reform
Kansas Wesleyan University, Salina.
J L Precnc...After the shackles Have Been
[Removed]
Washburn College, Torek
J M Challis...Shylock and Justice
Kansas State University, Lawrence.
Mamie D. Chenoweth. What has Science Done
[for Humanity]
Ottawa University, Ottawa.
V C Cook ..The Jews-Morning Purpose of
[Re-nationalization
College of Emuoria, Emporia.
A word as to the chances of the various contestants. The first speaker, as will be seen by the program, is Mr. L. H. Barret of Win field. Very little is known of his ability but he is unfortunate in not having the solid support of his college. We will rank him pretty well down in the list. The next speaker is Mr. N. P. Willits of Baker. He will have the "Baker style" of force and pitch which strongly resembles a cracked steam boat whistle, but notwithstanding this fault he will doubtless be well up in the race. Then comes Miss Hattie May Campbell of the Normal. From reports we learn that she is a fair talker but on general principles we will count her out entirely. Salina is represented by O. E Collins. Judging from the past record of that college we can safely place Mr. Collins in about fifth place. Mr. J. L. Poston represents Washburn. He is evidently a firm believer in the old adage, "All things come to him who waits," as he has been a regular orator in the local contest for several years and was never fortunate enough to win until this spring. He will have to seek solace in his adage again. Then "Our" Jim Challis steps forward and with his splendid oration, his magnificent voice and commanding presence he will be very close to first place when the decision is given. Challis is followed by Miss L. Chenoweth of Ottawa. Ottawa has always sent her representative as a matter of form and this year no exception will be made to the rule. (We mean due respect to the ladies but they can't possibly win.)
The last speaker, is Mr. V. C. Cook, of Emporia. As our Presbyterian friends have been looking forward to the twelfth of February as "a day of triumph and glory" they evidently have faith in Mr. Cook. We will be liberal, they stand a fighting chance.
The list is complete. After care fully looking over the field we consider just three persons in the race, Challis, Cook and Willits,and while it will be close between the three named we are confident that K.U.'s crimson will wave triumphantly in victory and Rock Cnalk will drawn out all opposition when the judges bring in their decision which will be, "J. M. Challis wins first place!"
Phi Delta Theta.
In spite of the rain and storm last Thursday night, one of the merriest and most enjoyable socia times was had at Frazier's hall. The young gentlemen of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity have an enviable reputation as entertainers and that of Thursday evening was one of the pleasantest parties they ever gave. The music of the mandolin club gave dancing more than the usual charm and it was towards morning when the last left for home. During the evening refreshments were served by Wiedemann. The guests for the evening were Misses Rushmer, Smelser, Sparr, Sinclair, Hawkins, Snow, Grubb, Humphrey, Scott, Funston, Simpson, Russell, Hulme, Towne, Ida Smith, Lyons, Berro, Edith and May Haskell, Churchill, Mason, Morris and Hand. Messrs Schall, Peabody, Challiss, Dobson, Woodward, Mayer, Cooke, Playter, Lyons, Prof. Mayer, Holmes, Thrasher, James, Tracy Learnard, Woods, W S Franklin, McKinnon, Baker, Bonebrake, Harcing, Oscar Learnard, Riddle and McCall.

Castoria.
"Custoria is an excellent medicine for children. Mothers have repeatedly told me of its good effect upon their children."
Dr. G. C. Osgood
Lowe', Mass.
- Custoria is the best remedy for children of which I am acquainted. I hq e day is not far distant when mothers will consider the real interest of their children, and use Custoria instead of the various quick nostrums which are destroying, the throat. I give them a smooth syrup and other hurried agents down their throats, thereby sending away to pronounce graves.*
DR J. F. KINCYLOR,
Conway, Ark.
Castoria.
- "Custoria is so well adapted to children that I recommend it as superior to any presiption known to me." II. A, AICHEN, A. D., II. S. Oxford, S.F., Brooklyn, N.
"Our physicians in the children's department have spoken highly of their experience in their outside practice with Castoria and although we only have among our medical supplies what is known as regular products, yet we are free to confess that the merits of Castoria has won us to look well favor upon it."
