JUST IN TIME
The Club Redeems Itself- Its Fourth Game is a Victory for K. S. U.
The boys have redeemed themselves, and, contrary to the expectation of all, succeeded in winning a game from William Jewell College nine at Chelsea Park last Saturday afternoon, by a judicious placing of hits in the first two innings.
Adams at second, played his usual game. Adams is a good batter, and made two base hits, but his fielding and throwing is erratic. He evidently has not played enough in a nine to keep from being rattled when there is need of close playing.
The game was intensely interesting from start to finish, and though there were but few in attendance they got the worth of their money.
At the end of the first two innings the score was 8 to 1. After that neither side placed anything to its credit but goose eggs, which was due mainly to Smith & Davis' effective work at the points for K. S. U. and the remarkably strong outfield of Wm. Jewell, which caught everything that K. S. U. lined out.
Harvey, who holds down third base, made a pair of errors, but made up for it by a two base hit when the bases were all filled. John Davis played his usual game, which is enough for all those who know the kind of a game that John plays.
The "Pukes" cant play ball with the "Jayhawkers"
Smith was in the box and pitched a wicked game. The crowd was amazed as he toyed and played with each opposing batter like a cat with a mouse. The Wm, Jewell boys found Smith to be an extremely large sized feline, and were completely at his mercy, making only four base hits, two of which, if not three were scratches.
LAWRENCE KANSAS, MAY 23. 1896.
Simmons played first without an error.
Crawford mourned long and anxiously for a chance, and while he was waiting a hot liner came short and was gobbled in. This was the only chance that Crawford had during the game.
The outfielders had nothing to do Watson is evidently playing n some terribly hard luck as he got left on bases three times.
Did you see Armstrong smite. The boys think they can beat the McCooks tomorrow.
The gate receipts were in the neighborhood of thirty dollars.
Harper made a good slide to third in the seventh inning but failed to score.
Swank plays a good strong center field.
The following is the score of the game by innings :
William Jewell,   0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9   TOTAL
K. S. U.,        1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0    8
A great many of the excursionists took advantage of low rates to Chicago and St. Louis and extended their trip to one or the other of those cities.

The Political Seminary.
Last Friday's meeting of the Seminary was unusually interesting on account of the subject under discussion, "The Land Question." Prot. Blackmar called the meeting to order promptly at 4 o'clock, and after the report of the last meeting, Mr. Bowersock read a paper on land tenures in Russia; the paper showed careful thought and research, and contained much valuable information on the subject as presented in Russia.
Mr. F. H. Kellogg followed in a paper on land holding in the United Kingdom, dwelling especially on the state of affairs—both past and present,—in Ireland. He commended the English govermment for its land acts and sharply criticised the Irish tenantry for its opportunities.
"The Ethics of Land-holding in the U. S." was the next phase, presented by A. L. Gettys in a paper which was calculated to win by its style. Mr. Gettys is an ardent supporter of the single tax idea, and brought out many good points in favor of his theory.
At the close of this paper an interested discussion took place between Prof. Blackmar and Mr. G. in regard to the merits of a single tax—the Prof. taking strong ground against it.
To-day's meeting of the Seminary is a special one, the last for for the year
The fourth and last paper was read by Miss Hunnicutt on "Looking Backward," or Edward Bellamy's scheme for alleviating all the ills to which the human family is subject. Miss H. condemned as being both impracticable and undesirable such a scheme of nationalization as outlined in "Looking Backward."
There is no need of introducing the writer of the following letter to the students of K. S. U. Glen Miller is known—well, he is known wherever the Kansas State University is known. The letter is a characteristic one and we are glad to get it:

EDITOR UNIVERSITY COURIER:
In your editorial comment on the Alumni Catalogue you mention it as a remarkable fact that only six out of the 253 graduates have died. There is another feature in this connection far more remarkable than that. Of the six who died four were from the class of 1884. And those four appear in consecutive order at the very beginning of the class roll; the names are in alphabetical order. This coincidence is most singular, when you come to think of it. Of nineteen classes graduating from the University, eighteen classes numbering 208 have lost but two, while the class of 1884 with 25 members has lost the first four on their list. These were, Walker H. Britton, Delia K. Churchill, Mary A. Clarke and Charles D. Dean.
There is another fact brought out by the Alumni catalogue, though the compiler has not formulated this portion of the statistics. Of the graduates who have married, a large majority have married former students of the University.
I think altogether, the catalogue is by all odds the most interesting document the alumni ever issued from the University.
Very truly Glen Miller
Science Club Annual.
The Science club held its big meeting of the year last Friday afternoon in Snow Hall. At this meeting nothing but original papers are presented, the results of investigations the members have been carrying on for sometime past.
Prof. Murphy's paper on the "Equation of 21 years comparative curve at Lawrence" was interesting from a mathematical standpoint, and his next on the "Growth of college attendance in Kansas," was also an attractive feature of the program.
"The Action of Sulphuric Acids upon alkaloids and other Organic Principles," was the subject of of Prof. Bailey's paper, the results of some experiments mainly in the detection of poisons.
Mr. Geo. T. Weida gave the results of his analysis of the different brands of chocolate and cocoa as found on the market.
"Some Plant Tumors" was the subject of Prof. Stevens' paper. He illustrated the different changes which take place in the plant tissues from the galls caused by various insects.
W. S. Franklin gave some notes on Magnetic Permeability" and the influence of an alternating current upon a bar of iron.
Prof. Dyche gave an interesting talk on "The Rocky Mountain Goats," so little known to scientists. A good specimen of this animal is hard to obtain and the University may well be proud of the splendid collection in Snow Hall. Prof. Dyche is preparing a paper on the subject. It will doubtless be one of great interest to all naturalists
Miss Crotty's description of her experiments on blood corpuscles, was very interesting indeed.
Prof. Blake displayed an electrical hydrometer which he recently made, and explained how it worked.
Prof. Marvin gave some results obtained in his experiments with fruit and second settings of cement.
These he has been preforming with the assistance of B. J. Dalton, Prof. Snow gave an able account of the meteorite and how he secured it.
Prof. E.C.Franklin followed with an analysis of meteorites.
D E. Esterly told the club about diatomaceae and Miss Crotty followed with more notes on the same subject. She displayed several specimens which she had succeeded in mounting.
The last paper was read by E. E Slosson on "Unconscious muscular movement." He has been working on this subject for some time and his paper showed practical results and much research.
There was not an uninteresting paper on the program, and many were of great scientific value.

The young ladies of Pi Beta Ph entertained their friends Friday evening, with one of the most brilliant and successful social affairs of the season. Old Frazier's hall, which has defied all previous attempts, was decorated in a most artistic manner. The ladies received their guests with very much cordiality and grace and the recipients of their hospitality will long remember the occasion.

The Phi Delts gave a very pleasant party last Friday night.
Last Monday Prof. Snow assisted the Clay Center schools in raising the national flag—a present to one of the pupils from the Youth's Companion for the best essay on the American emblem. It is needless to say that Prof. Snow was patriotic enough for the occasion and that he saluted the stars and stripes with a good old fourth of "Julier."
Profs Ed. and Will Franklin will leave for Germany immediately after the close of school. They will spend most of the summer in recreation among the Alps: then they will return to their studies in the fall.
