The local oratorical contest of Washburn College takes place at the First Congregational church of Topeka, January 4. '89. There will be five contestants and A. W.

Missouri is bound not to be out done by her sister States. A State Oratorical Association has been organized with five colleges represented. The first State contest will be held at Jefferson City, Feb. 8, 1889. An effort will be made to enter the Inter-state Association, with a good prospect of success. The desire of oratorical training is everywhere rapidly increasing and the colleges of Missouri are determined not to miss this excellent means of receiving a practical training in public speaking.
At the Senior class meeting it was decided that no Senior should be allowed to wear a plug hat unless he was regularly classified, nor should a Senior associate with any one except Seniors, neither in the halls nor at home. The Senior must have a dignified air and must not smile upon the handsome young ladies of the other classes. He must not chew gum or recognize a professor when on the streets. His text book is to be Bill Nye's works and similar books on morals. In punishment for violating any of these rules, the noble Senior shall be compelled to attend classes regularly for a whole week. All in all the Senior's life is a hard one and who does not envy verdant "prep."
The New York Nation of Dec. 13, has the following note. "Mr.F.G. Adams, Secretary of the Kansas Historical Society, and Prof.W.H.Carruth thought the acquirement of municipal suffrage by women in their State worthy of commoration. Their pamphlet, 'Woman Suffrage in Kansas 'An account of the municipal electons in Kansas in 1887, as told by the newspapers of the State,' is an orderly digest of the press comments before and after the elections, as to which we remark that the Republican papers were generally favorable or respectful, the Democratic generally, but not always the reverse. An introduction to this body of extracts gives a brief but lucid review of the steps leading up to the partial victory of the suffragists, which they owe to their alliance with the Women's Christian Temperance Union in 1886. The story is instructive, and this pamphlet is certain to have a permanent value for students of our political development.

The blanks shares have not been printed yet, but the treasurer will give you a receipt for your money and issue the shares to you as soon as the money is received.
