MINER'S KETTLES
Prof. W. A. Crane while at the St Louis Fair secured two Calcining kettles which are to be added to his Mining Museum.
These kettles are manufactured by Irsham & Son's, of Emporia, Kansas, who will bring them here after the Fair closes and personally oversee their setting up.
Calcining kettles are an essential part in the operation of making Gypsum as the only known method of taking the moisture from Gypsum is by their use.
DR. MILLER RETURNS.
Popular Ex-Dean Resumes Work After Several Months Rest—Much Improved.
Dr. Ephriam Miller, for thirty-one years head of the Department of Mathematics and Astronomy in the University of Kansas, has resumed his work after an absence of five months. Last Spring Dr. Miller suffered an attack of La Gripe, which kept him from his work about three days. After returning, he suffered a elapse which kept him in bed for nearly a month. His physician advised him to go either to California or Colorado, and, as the Board of Regents insisted, he went.
After visiting at Long Beach, California, among friends for about two weeks Dr. Miller went to San Diego. At San Diego he studied Theosophy, which is made up of what the students consider the best of each of the different creeds.
Dr. Miller next spent a week in San Francisco, where he visited the University of California and the Mark Hopkins Museum. After leaving San Francisco Dr. Miller spent six weeks visiting his daughter, Mrs. Mary E. Barnes, at Glenwood Springs, Colo. While at Glenwood he took the baths from which he derived much benefit. At present Dr. Miller says he feels much better and weighs more than ever before. We are very glad to see him back among us looking and feeling so well.

A number of people came to Lawrence to see the Haskell K. U. football game. Among them were Russell Frost and Bayard Whitney, of Topeka.

KANSAS vs.
COLORADO.
Jayhawkers to Meet Coloradoans Next Saturday on McCook Field. A Victory is Expected.
Coach Kennedy had his pupils out this morning for light practice but some of the men were too stiff to work very hard.
Since the Haskell game the foot ball men have not been working very hard. Some of them were badly bruised on account of the brutal treatment of the Indians.
Next Saturday Kansas meets Colorado on McCook. Last year the Jayhawkers had to go to Boulder but put up a good game despite the high altitude, and won by a score of 12 to 11. A bigger victory is expected this year.
Scrimmage work will continue until Friday and the lineup will be about the same as in the Haskell game.
The regular Mining Journal meeting which should have been held Oct., 3rd was adjourned until Tuesday, Oct.. 11th on account of the half holiday given the University Tuesday.
UNIVERSITY MUSIC CLUBS.
Music at the University this year includes the band, orchestra and mandolin and glee clubs. They have all met and organized and the indications seem to be that there will be more interest taken and that better music will be furnished than ever before.
This year's class of freshmen contains very many musicians. Mr. Benson is the new director of the band, while Professors Hubach and Skilton will resume their old positions with the glee club and orchestra. The glee club has about forty members this year, while the band will probably number twenty-five, half the number being freshmen in each case.
An extended trip during vacation has been planned for the glee club, which trip takes in 15 of the central towns of the state and the band will as usual, furnish music for the football games. The hope that these music clubs will continue to prosper and increase as they are a great help to the University.
MINING JOURNAL.
Prof. W. R. Crane's address on "The Iron Mines of the Burmingham District" will be postponed until sometime later in the course.
The students of the University and the soldiers from Leavenworth had a little clash Thursday night. There was a hard feeling between the students and soldiers on account of the soldiers rude rooting loudly for the Indians at the football game.
