Twitchell, one of the early students at K. S. U., is rapidly making his way to the front. Mr. Twitchell was a student here in the seventies but went to Ann Arbor, to graduate in law in 1882. During the year he was admitted to the bar and acted as assistant to the city councellor of Kansas City. In 1883 he went to Santa Fe as asistant attorney of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad company, under Hon. H. L. Waldo, the solicitor of New Mexico for that compan , which position he fills with credit to himself and satisfaction to the great railroad corporation. In 1889 he was appointed district attorney for the 1st. judicial district and until October of that year was acting solicitor general of the territory. In 1891 he was re-appointed for two years. In 1886-1888 Mr. Twitchell was secretary of the Republican Territorial Central and Executive committees. He is now secretary of the County Central committee of Santa Fe county and president of the 4th ward League Club of the city of Santa Fe also secretary of the New Mexico Republican League. "In the entire territory there probably is no young man so well equipped and posted in public affairs" is what the Santa Fe New Mexican says of this old K. S. U. boy. To the front they always go. Journalist vs. Newspaper-man, The journalist prepares a leader the newspaper man writes an editorial. The journalist has the most dignity; the newspaper man has the most gall. One aspires to advise statesmen. enlighten cabinets and instruct senates, whereas the other aims to print the news, draw little morals and make some money. The journalist has a great head on him, but the newspaper man has got a bushel of horse sense. The journalist is half a philosopher and half a bore, but the news-paper man is half an adventurer and half a patriot who knows a good thing when he sees it and wants the exclusive right to publish it in one regular and four extra editions. The journalist hates slang, and the newspaper man thanks God and the gamins when he gets onto a new phase. The journalist understands the situation in Europe, but the newspaper man knows lots about the United States and how New York is going to go next election. The journalist has a classical education, but the newspaper man can write a four-line head in four minutes and make the lines fit the type. The intelligent compositor says the journalist is a "chump" "a dude," "a ham" and the "nephew of the proprietor," but the newspaper man he fearth and envieth. The journalist turns loose many lucubrations, but the newspaper man says one murder is worth two embezzlements and a divorce suit is fatter than a sermon. When he dies the newspaper man pays his funeral expenses—New York Press. A very delightful gathering was that which was in attendance at the Phi Delt hop at the Merchants Bank hall last Friday evening. The evening was devoted to dancing, and though the evening was warm the entertainment was an enjoyable one. At 11 o'clock the company were invited to adjourn to the rooms of the fraternity, where splendid refreshments were served by Caterer Wiedemann. Phi Delta Theta. The gentlemen of Phi Delta Theta now possess one of the largest and also one of the most finely furnished fraternity halls in Lawrence. Their hall has been newly papered and shows much care and taste. The hall is elegantly furnished according to the latest decrees in upholstery, and presents a neat and cozy appearance. The gentlemen of Phi Delta Theta are the best entertainers in the college and their guests were well pleased in their first introduction to Phi Delta Theta's new hall. Those present were Misses Scott of Emporia, Stout of St. Paul, Humphrey, Adelia Humphrey, Schaum, Smelzer, Mason, Haskell, Snow, Rushmer, Riggs, Berry, Barret, Blaker, O'Bryon, Hand, Simpson, Churchill, Sparr, Russell, Messrs. Alden, McCandlass, McCaul Valentine, Bunch, Bowke, Stover, Miller, Funston, Franklin, Nichols, Holmes, Lyon, Woods, O'Bryon, Potter, O. Learnard, T. Learnard, Playter, Cook, Thrasher, Harris. Hide Out, Little Ones; Our foot ball eleven has already been chosen and are practicing together every evening. The rush line is simply immense, it can't be beat in the state, and this is no lie. Then the four men behind the rushers are elegant. Everyone of them can run a hundred yards in eleven seconds and pick up the ball at the same time. Oh! we are in it deeply, and are going to pluck every persimmon, tail feather, and everything. We are going to sweep the state just the same as last year.—Baldwin Ledger. Oh! you are simply invisible, invincible and whatever you wish to add to it. But let the owlets whoop, the midday radiance of our own club here will make them hunt the same hollow log that Baldwin's pseudo base ball club now is occupying. The meeting last Friday evening was devoted to James Russel Lowell. Mr. Soderstrom spoke of his life and works. Prof. Carruth gave an account of Lowell's funeral, which he attended. The Philological Club. Prof. Dunlap read a paper on Lovell's poverty. Prof, Canfield spoke on Lowell's critical works. The Historical Seminary. Profs, Wilcox, Sterling and others spoke of minor points in Lowel's life and writings, and read selections from his works. The Seminary as previously announced, met Friday at 4 o'clock. The attendance was very large, the spacious lecture room being crowded. Prof. Blackmar opened with a few remarks concerning the past and future policy. He announced the following names as being among the number who would deliver lecture during the coming year. Noble Prentis, Judge Thacher, Rev. C.M. Sheldon, Rabbi Berkowitz and others. Prof. Blackmar also announced tha Seminary Notes, a little journal devoted to History and Sociology, would be issued every month. Prof. Hodder thus spoke on the German Universities and other methods of historical study. Some of his experiences while studying in Germany were very interesting. He said that he would speak in the near future of the social life in the German Universities. Andy Reed gives twenty baths for $2, Prof. Adams followed on the Population in the Census. The professor having spent the last year in the employ of the government in this particular department, his remarks were from his own personal investigation. The Seminary will meet every Friday at 4 o'clock in room 12. See today's program elsewhere. The State University. The State University has become the pride not only of Kansas but of the entire west. It ranks away up among the very best institutions in the whole land. It is drawing students from every state and territory It opened its doors to begin the second quarter century of its life the first' of this month with 150 new students, all fully prepared freshmen, making a total attendance of 600 to begin with, which indicates an attendance for the year of 750 or 800. It must be remembered that nothing is done there but strictly collegiate work, the high schools of the state taking the place of the old preparatory department. Considering this the attendance is phenomenal. The law department, the pharmacy department, the musical and art departments are all of the highest worth and all share in the grand growth of the institution. It is preeminently the place for the western youths.-Clay Center Dispatch. The first practice game of base ball of the season was played Saturday between a couple of nines picked from among the new candidates for positions on the first and second nines. The game showed the presence of some very good material. Alden pitched a good game, Piat showed up well, pluckly catching several innings with a split hand. Truitt, Walker, Dume nil, Shafer and Williamson, can play ball. Challis is m much better form than last year. His coaching makes him an especially valuable man for the team. Special Sale.
