. The annual debate of the Gerhard
Literary society last week was eseily
one of the best yet h- ld by this soci
ety -which has long been noted for
strong debates. The question as to
whether or not United States Sena
tors ehonld be elected by direct vote
of the people was hotly contested fcy
both affirmative and negative debaters.
The arguments ware strong, convinc
ing, clear cut end logical having the
audience in doubt as to whom should
be given the - decision.. The .judges
themselves found no small difficulty
in arriving at a conclusion, but after
careful deliberation they agreed wt
the negative should nave the honors
by a .small margin", and we shall eon.
tinue to' elect senators as heretofore.
The entire eercise was exceptionally
wel lrendercd. The erowd was im

mill, was entered last night and a'
number of articles of merchandise are
missing this morning, eon sitting of
men's hose, pocket knives, shirts and
candy. . A hole was eut in the panel of
the front door and some one extended
an arm through the hole and pulled
the ebain that holds the doors to
gether at be top, causing the doors to
open. .From the sue of the hole in
the door the entrance was very prob
ably made by a boy, as it is too email
