Buy a new Hat of Abe Levy. LOCAL. The Phi Gams and Phi Psis have been busy all week practicing for the great game that came off yesterday. The water works are under contract to be completed by January, 1887. Who expects them to be so? The Senior pharmacists and Senior laws are thinking of following the example of the collegiate Seniors, and don plugs, also. Nearly all of the Senior plugs have arrived, and those who have enough class spirit and pride in the University will soon be wearing them. Prof. McDonald has a musical bulletin board just outside of his study door, on the second floor, where the latest musical news is posted. Our rival (?) came out this week, saying that it had "the kindiest feeling for our esteemed little cotemporary, the Courier," We are glad of it; thanks. The Phi Gams had as a Mascotte yesterday a boy who was born without teeth. He was adorned with a Phi Gam pin of about a half a foot in length. Mr. James Mears is laying out flower beds along the walk that runs east from the University building. This will be a great improvement to the campus. The latest word which must be used to express any pleasant or enjoyable time, or to describe anything favorably, is the word "cute." Students must remember this. A party of about six from the University and Lawrence leave for Baldwin this afternoon to establish a Y. M. C. A. in the Baker University and the town of Baldwin. The instructor in natural history ought to be taken down a peg or two. He has too high an opinion of himself, his powers and his knowledge. He makes his classes very disagreeable by his conceit. A certain person came into Prof. Carruth's room to see the new statuary, and pointing to the calm, peaceful face of Martin Luther, says: "That is Voltaire, is it not?" The Prof. nodded in the affirmative, and the person immediately remarked: "What a villainous countenance he has. The Oratorical Association held a meeting to elect officers for the year. S. T. Gilmore was in the chair as acting president. The officers elected are as follows: E. G. Blair, presiden; C. B. Highbargin, vice president; A. L. Wilmoth, secretary; C. E. Street, treasurer; F. G. Crowell, V. L. Kellogg and Denton Dunn, executive committee. The local contest will probably be held in December this year. Some professors, in fact the most of them, are getting very careless about dismissing their classes at the tap of the second bell. Students are expected to be in a class within five minutes after the second bell, and when a professor keeps them in until after that time, of course it is impossible to make the succeeding class. Then the teacher of that class "kicks." The Phi Gamma Deltas opened their part of the social season by an informal hop at their hall last Friday evening. A pleasant evening was spent in dancing, conversation, etc. The Phi Gams showed that they had lost none of their power of entertaining guests, and upheld their reputation as one of the most pleasant fraternities in the University. The Handel-Haydn choral society began their weekly rehearsals last Monday night, at their hall, on southwest corner of Vermont and Henry streets. Those who have fair voices and moderate reading ability are eligible to membership. All students who can spare the time ought to join. There is no more pleasant or profitable way of spending one evening a week. NOTES. Excursion to Kansas City, Cheap. Excursion to Kansas City, Cheap. The Science Club of the University will run an excursion to Kansas City on Saturday, October 9. Special car goes down at 8, returning on last train. They propose to open some Indian mounds near the city. Tickets $1.50 for the round trip, including transportation to the mounds. Citizens and students are invited, either to go to Kansas City or to the mounds with the club. Ladies will accompany the party. Tickets can be obtained of the committee. E. H. S. BAILEY, E. C. FRANKLIN. STUDENTS, go to J. M. Wood & Co.'s for groceries for your boarding clubs. Mr. Wood has one of the oldest grocery establishments in Lawrence, and his store has always been famous for its fine stock and low prices. Mr. Wood's rates to clubs can not be undersold by any grocer in the city, and considering the fine goods he carries, this makes him the most desirable man to deal with that can be found. For the nobbiest styles and best fitting young men's suits, see those new ones at Urbansky's. The miners of Osage City, Burlingame and Scranton, are out on a strike, and are likely to continue so for some time, and these kinds of coal are getting very scarce. However, A. J. Griffin has plenty of the following kinds at low figures: Canon City, Illinois, Weir City, Leavenworth lump, Leavenworth nut, Cherokee nut, and Cherokeeoke coke. Business Booming. The Courier man dropped in to see Messrs. Field & Hargis, and found them doing a rushing business. Mr. Field said to the reporter that he was too busy to write an advertisement, but he might give him a few pointers. He said that their business was never better, and their University trade surpassed by far anything they had done in former years. The Courier man glanced around the store and soon observed the reason for this. We never saw a finer stock of books in the city. Desirable books of all kinds, from those in pamphlet form to elegant large volumes bound in sheep, were to be seen, and marked way down in price. Mr. Field told the reporter that they supplied everything in the artist and drawing department at the University at Chicago prices. Mr. Field was then called away to wait on a customer, and left us with the parting injunction, "I haven't time to tell you half the things I might, but just tell the students and others to come and see for themselves." Lawrence people are to be favored with a rare treat to-morrow night at Bowersock's opera house, when Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Florence will present "The Mighty Dollar." Mr. Florence is in the foremost ranks of the comedians of the day, and it is not often that a place the size of Lawrence can secure him, so our people should turn out en masse to greet him. The finest and nobbiest young men's suits in town, cut in the latest style, and the lowest prices at Urbansky's. Attention, young men of Lawrence! Ask to see those nobby suits at Urbansky's. Go to Smith's to get good 5e and 10e cigars. Buy one of Abe Levy's stiff hats. All linen handkerchiefs at Abe Levy's for 25c.
