A Valuable Find.
One of the most valuable fossils that has ever been found in Kansas, consisting of a perfect skull and a large part of the neck of of a Plesiosaur, was recently obtained by Judge West for the University museum. The specimen, aside from its perfect preservation, is especially valuable by reason of its being the only known Plesiosaurian skull from the Niobrasa Cretaceous formation. Fragmentary remains are not very rare, portions of perhaps fifty individuals having hitherto been discovered in the Kansas chalk, a number of which are in the University museum. The present specimen appears to belong to a species, and possibly to a genus hitherto unknown. The Plesiosaurs were a giant of large extinct aquatic reptiles, whose remains occur only in the Triassic and cretaceous rocks. The present specimen, judging from its nearest known allies, is that of a reptile not less than thirty, and probably nearly forty feet in length, with a comparatively small head and a large slender neck, twenty or more feet in length, a large thickset body with webbed flippers or paddles, and a short rudder-like tail. Its food consists of fishes, and it inhabit the shallower regions of the oceans

Those students interested in football held a meeting at the end of the fourth hour Wednesday. Howard Peairs was elected captain. It was decided to make an organization of twenty-five members so that two elevens might be formed. The number was largely made up at the meeting. It was also decided to procure suits for the elevens. The men will practice at least three times a week and some every afternoon. A practice game with the Indians will soon be arranged for. The eleven will in all probability go to Baker in a few weeks and if good practice is kept up the Bakerites may look out.
The match game of tennis last Thursday between the Phi Psi and Betas resulted in favor of the former by the score of, 6-3; 6-2; 1-6; 8-6. Sherman and Armstrong played for the Phi Psis and Whitman and McKinnon for the Betas. The first sets were won easily by the Phi Psi, but the next two were closely contested and many excellent plays were made.

For twenty years the leaders of fashion have been trying to kick the black dress coat out of good society for evening costume. Attempt after attempt has been made, and courageous gentlemen of means have appeared from time to time magnificent in swallow tails of gray, olive, samon, buff or violet. But it was no go. After a few spasm, elie efforts mankind lapped again into the waiters' costume. One more attempt, emanating from Paris this time, will be made the coming season to introduce the colored dress coat for men. Maybe it will be successful at last.
Farm products went up with a rush when they did start. They had been depressed long enough, heaven knows. Now let us all join in hoping prices will continue such for the next few years that the farmer will be able to lift that mortgage. It is the great advance in prices of farm products that caused the golden enormous demand for money throughout the country.
