Adelphic Society.
The Adelphic literary society gave one of the most interesting programs of the year at Music Hall, Saturday evening. Feb. 26th, 1897. The music of the evening was largely furnished by members of the School of Fine Arts and was highly appreciated. The discussion, involving a question uppermost in the minds of students at the present time was spirited and interesting. At the election of officers John King was chosen president and Mr. Belcher secretary. Next Saturday evening is the occasion of a special program and every effort has been made to give a creditable entertainment to the friends of the society.

J. C. Kelsey jr., has been engaged for some time in putting in an electric plant at Staunton, Ill. After the plant was completed the Fort Wayne Electric company held an examination of the candidates for superintendent. Jim took the examination and won the place, making a grade of 97. The next highest man made a grade of 78. The manager of the company was so pleased with Jim's examination that he will take him into his employ as superintendent of construction. In this capacity he will have an opportunity to visit every section of the United States. There were graduates of Chicago University and the University of Illinois who took the examination. They asked Jim where he learned what he knew about lightning and he said, "At the University of Kansas."
The Inter-Class Debate.
On Wednesday evening the contest of the Inter-class Debating Society was held for the purpose of choosing two men to meet in April, representatives from the Adelphic and Kent Club for the final preliminary trial, prior to the Kansas-Nebraska debate.
This society is composed of nine members three from each class except the Freshman; but only seven took part in the debate. The question: "Resolved that the recent construction of the Monroe Doctrine will prove advantageous to the U. S." was discussed in an able manner.
The judges—Prof. Olney and Judges Horton and Emery—voiced the sentiments of all present by awarding first place to Mr. Sharpe and second place to Mr.Wood, both seniors. Since class competition is now ended it is our duty to do all in our power to encourage the men both of this and the other societies so that they may present an invincible front to Nebraska in May.
Robt. Edmondson will do your shoe repairing at No. 11 East Warren street.
