Rev. William Lane and Miss Lucy Kenyon, of this city, were married yesterday afternoon, at the residence of Hon. J. R. Kenyon on Park ave.

Prof. L. I. Blake, with the assistance of Mr. Caldwell, has been conducting a series of very interesting experiments during the summer on the Atlantic coast. The object of the professors work was to conduct telegraphic sounds through the water at sea, thus enabling vessels within certain distances, to communicate with each other during fogs and at all times. The experiments were quite successful, sounds being transmitted through two or three miles of water.
The national council of the Phi Beta Kappa has concluded its triennial session in Saratoga. Charters were granted for the establishment of new chapters at Depauw University, Greencastle, Ind., the University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kas., the Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill., and Lafayette college, Easton, Pa. This gives the University a chapter of this well known college organization. Only high grade men are elected to membership. Several University professors belong to the fraternity.
It is announced that the regents of the State University will not elect a chancellor until after school meets. Half are said to be in favor of Prof. Canfield and half opposed to him. A significant fact regarding the feeling against him on account of his free-tradeism is that he has been relieved of his position as teacher of political economy and been relegated to the position of teacher of history. A man who cannot be trusted to teach political economy in Kansas cannot be trusted to be chancellor of our State University.Abilene Reflector.
The above is a fair example of the way in which reckless misstatements of fact are given to the people through the newspapers. Relegate is not the word to use in connection with Prof. Canfield's advancement by
the Regents. The work in history and political economy, owing to the adoption of the optional study scheme was so increased that one professor could not possibly take care of it. Under these circumstances Prof. Canfield petitioned the board for relief, and recommended the election of a new professor, and a division of the work. This was done, and Civics was given to Prof. Canfield at his own request. The division of the work allows Prof. Canfield to extend his list of optionals offered, and to devote more time to private study. —Tribune.
