The shareholders in the Oratorical association met Wednesday noon and by unanimous vote decided to admit members of the Law school to participate in the contests under the supervision of the association. An article in the constitution had heretofore barred them from participating, and the general sentiment is that this move will infuse new life into the association.

The Economic debating club met on Tuesday afternoon. The discussion of the day was in the form of a debate on paper money, and some witty remarks were made by the debaters. Misses Lewelling and Loader spoke in favor of coin money, and Messrs. Ingalls and Ewart tried to make their hearers believe that flat money was the best. At this meeting the election of officers was held in which Ingalls was a successful candidate for president. Miss Lewelling was elected vice-president, and Wright secretary.

Prof. Jones in Effigy.
Students who climbed Mount Oread before eight o'clock Tuesday morning saw a peculiar dummy dangling from the electric wires across Adams street, leading to the Library.
The figure was stuffed with hay, and was clothed with a coat, a pair of Ballbriggan trousers and a short skirt.

Foster Jones, of the English department. When the image was first seen, it caused no little amusement among the students A number of students were watching it, when Mr. Wilson, driving the K U. wagon, arrived on the scene, and mounting to the seat of the wagon directly under the effigy, he began to sever it from the wire with the use of a pruning pole. Finally "Little Jones" dropped and he hurriedly chucked him into the wagon and Mr. Wilson drove away at a galop.
The affair reminded one of a patrol wagon dashing to the scene and rescuing an unfortunate.
It is not known who the fiends are who perpetrated this practical joke, but it is understood that the faculty council will investigate the matter thoroughly, and some interesting developments promise to appear.
The Passing of the Journal.
After a long period of usefulness the official organ of the Barbs will within a short time cease its career. The announcement that the Students Journal is about to suspend will no doubt be received with regret by the students who have been its supporters.

This would seem to indicate that the Barb politician is looking forward in pleasant contemplation to again demonstrate his ability to rake in all the offices in sight.
