Bullene, Moore, Emery & Co., Kansas City. Kansas City. AND still another state has been added to the list, Illinois. HARVARD may well be pleased with her western neighbor who proudly wears the crimson. THE Illinois foot ball team not only plays good ball but every one of the team is a gentleman. Come again. The foot ball team will in all probability play the hardest game of this season next Saturday with Iowa. FIVE large meteors have thus far been found in Kansas. It must be that at some time in the past the heavens turned lose its Gatling guns upon this land of milk and honey. Missouri State University refused to play foot ball with the State University of Nebraska because the latter had a colored man on the team. Of course Missouri forfeits the game by such action. A ten line local in one of the great daily papers of the west announced the death of fifty thousand people, by the over-flowing of the Yellow river, in China. Surely that nation which places so much confidence in the efficacy of the wig is little thought of here in America. Our foot ball team, of which all Lawrence and Kansas is proud of, and both have reasons for being so, feel very kindly towards the merchants of Lawrence who contributed towards buying the sweaters. The lack of this very needy article has been sorely felt and will now of course be doubly appreciated. The students of the scientific department who are not members of the Science Club should hasten to join. The club solicits such members. The papers read at its meetings are of a very choice and scientific character and quite in harmony with the work done by students in the scientific departments. All are invited to join. It has been proposed by George T. Angel, president of the American Humane Society, Boston, that "A Humane Congress of all Nations" be held at our World's Columbian Exposition, to be participated in by every civilized nation. It's object is to discuss the best plans of humanely educating all civilized nations, not only for the prevention of wars, national and international, but conflicts between capital and labor, the prevention of cruelty to our own, and lower races that are dependant upon us. The good, such a congress can accomplish is incalculable and deserves the kindly will and help of all who feel within their breast the throb of sympathy. Godspeed to such a congress. The faculty at Wasburn have declared themselves opposed to foot ball, in that institution. Well, why not? McCOOK FIELD. It is a very common occurrence to hear students, as well as others, speak of the "Athletic" field. While it may be proper to speak of the grounds as "an athletic field," it is not correct to speak of these by the name of "Athletic" grounds. Its name is, "McCook Field" and should be called so whenever spoken of, out of respect for him who has done so much for the University, Col. McCook, and to whom we are indebted principally for the grounds, which would be a credit to any institution. THAT BUTTON. For some time the COURIER has strenuously advocated the advisability of a college button. As yet no results have come from its labors. But patience is a jewel, and he who stands up for the eternal fitness of things and fights his cause will win, though time may elapse and the future look cloudy. The question of a college button is no mean, insignificant one. Eastern colleges have long ago seen fit to have college buttons, and why should not the Kansas University? Of course we have our college colors and hence it may seem useless to think of a button, but why? Have not the eastern colleges this design? In the lapel of nearly every college man at a college gathering may be seen the button representing the colors of his ALMA MATER. Let the ribbon reign supreme in the hands of students at a foot ball game or any contest whatsoever, but give us also the button of like color which may without pomp or gaudiness be worn in after years at any college gathering. 'The Iowa Quill remarks. "While political parties are ardently joining issues on tariff and similar questions, why not permit college papers to discuss from an unpartisan standpoint these same questions?" There is no law forbidding such discussion unless it be that iron clad one at K. S. U. which say that "he who failleth in two studies must seek pastures green" or something to that effect, which of course includes the editor. To discuss ably political questions and from an unbiased standpoint one must perforce apply himself most diligently and constantly to this one subject and no other, so vast is its field. College papers need never expect to be the oracle of truth on political subjects of the day, when men grown old in the strife of political warfare, who edit the great dailies and weeklies, yes, who are students too, are unable to solve satisfactorily these same political subjects, which the Quill would have the college paper so ably discuss, perhaps solve. Try it. The 'Varsity foot ball team has so far scored ninety-six points in four games, while only ten points have been scored by opposing teams. Cigars and tobacco at Smith's, TO FOOT BALL PLAYERS. It has a host of bruises, perhaps a strain, and breaks that pain for years, and it shakes up his staircase phylogy, so in a rough, tearing his knees he is streaked away His senses, he is away. O him, who, in the love of foot ball, strives To win his best fought game, at times. It leaves profound impressions; for his muscled When men BY D. D GEAR. from the other side, rush like an avalanche from the other side, rush like an avalanche Over thy form, and "number tens" With triple spikes. Make them to wriggle and grow pale with wrath shout "down," from *eρthy dusty spot*, and list To his decision, who bids them rise and Form in his line again. The all-bewitching game shall play no more with college boys, nor yet nash the struggling men. Where thou didst kick and sweat and swear, Nor in a running take shall be seen Thy presence. Spinners and politicians. Upon once Didst scorn, shall not be wrapped about thin jacquared lhabs. And lost the full back place, surrendering up Each stolten foot ball cap, shalt thou go To rest quiescent on a downy bed. To be a victim for the merciless quick, And undergo the visits of thy many friends, Who, in their turn, Must feel his teasing pulse and give the hopes So play, since play thou must That when the contemperate rushes to force The covetable foot of through the line, To the goal beyond, where K. mutates A touch-down, mid the demeaning shout of all, When work not like the lazy youth at school. Forced to his studies, but, sustained and cheered By the invincible leven, performed the task Like one who ticks low and brings His victim to an unexcepted fall. THE foot ball game with Iowa next Saturday is looked forward to with considerable interest. Both teams are in excellent condition. The 'Varsity team has played four games thus far while Iowa has played three, both winning. Last year's game is not forgotten by neither team and on next Saturday it will be fought to a finish. Iowa is quite confident. Nearly all her last year's players are on the team and from all reports, put up as good, if not a better game then when the 'Varsity team met them at Kansas City. All lovers of foot ball who desire to witness an exciting and well played game of ball should not fail to go to Kansas City, next Saturday. Philological Club. The Philological Club will hold a very interesting meeting this p. m. Professors Canfield, Carruth and Mr. Shearer are on the program. Our Glove department is one of the most comprehensive in the United States. Bullene, Moore, Emery & Co. Kansas City.

Bullene, Moore, Emery & Co. Kansas City. The latest from Iowa is that the State University foot ball team defeated Knox College last Saturday, score 4 to 0.
