It was after 11 o'clock before the decision of the judges was announced The judges were Prof. French of the Uni- versity of Nebrasks, Miss Nagl of the Omaha 8chool of Oratory and W. A. Brind- ley of Council Bluffs Ten contestants competed for the ‘prizes under rules governing averages for p nunciation and articulation, carriage and gesture, memory. exprossion and general | effect. There were three classes ora torical class with Ivan Mitchell as the | only contestant and the dramatic,-in which the following took pirt: “As the Moon Rose,” Hester Collins, Nort: Bend; “The Death Disk,” Velma Covert, Columbus; “If I Were King,' Marie Douglas, Platts- mouth; “Gagelle and 8wan,” Bloise Gil- christ, Mead; ‘“Commencement, Hathaway, Blair; “A Reasonable Ietha Ross, Scribner; “The Sign of the Cross,” Ora Sigler, Schuyler.

It was noticeahle that each contestant spoke with | confidence and without a sliip of memory. | His awards were loudly applauded by the audience, which had practically agreed on the selection, while the judges had de liberated. Miss Marle Douglas of Platis- mouih, winner of the most coveted prize of the contest took the climactic scene from the popular novel, “If I Were King." Her Imitation of the weakling, Louis of France, accomplished the truest dramatic touch of the evening. The effort of the mono- logist to present four or five different characters In one production s difficult in the extreme, but the touches of manner- fsms and character of Miss Douglas left no confusion in the minds of the hearers A selection of considerable originality was that of Miss Letha Ross of Seribner, | winner of the second place. It was a ques- tion in the minds of many whether she Miss Douglas should have the first. Her voice was more clear and her words more distinct Miss Gernldine Kemp, presenting the se- lection. “How Ruby Played.” displayed some talent as a humorist. Her gestures were especially good. Ben Windham was slightly handicapped. in having chosen a selection which was vaudeville, rather than humor, but he did well with the part and recelved more applause than the winner of the prize for humorous declamation, The program was not eoncluded until | the arizzle of the evening became a steady | rain | | the Faye Doubt, #olo at She is one of the Marilla closing solo the or | Howard Held for Trial Fred Howard was bound over to the dis- trict court yesterday for an alleged statu- tory offense against his cousin, Miss Maude Hildreth of Neola, Ta.
