The Scott City Sentinel, a newsy, four page, eight column paper, comes from Scott county with the name of M. J. Keys at the mast head as editor and propnetor. M. J. is an able newspaper man, a Democrat where it is hard to be a Democrat, a rustler and just the man to make the Sentinel one of the leading papers of western Kansas. He is a worthy son of K. S. U.
There will be a match game of ball to-morrow afternoon between the University club and the Business College nine. It will be played on the Massachusetts street grounds.

Remember the game to-morrow afternoon. University vs. Business College.

A certain young man, prominent in Beta circles, recently called on a certain young lady residing at a certain place known as the "Nunnery." The time flew, the young man carried and all went merrily and joyfully. But the spirit of mischief was on the wing. Suddenly the alarm of the alarm clock rang out on the still night air. What was that, was it the rising bell of some sleeper? The young man hastily left, and the young ladies who had fixed up the scheme fled to their rooms in joy. Now there is war and mutterings of revenge at the "Nunnery."
The Senior boys have concluded of decorate their ceraniums with the regulation silk stove pipe. Juniors, Sophs, Freshhes, will you allow it? What have we done that we must endure all this?

BASE BALL ASSOCIATION. — The first meeting of the year of the Base Ball Association was held last Friday at the end of the fourth hour. A committee of three, consisting of Prof. Canfield, E. F. Neal and W. McBride, was appointed to confer with the Lawrence association in regard to the use of the ball park. Monday another meeting was held, at which the committee made their report. It was decided that a subscription paper be circulated among the students and faculty for the purpose of raising the necessary funds for the establishment of the club on a firm basis. Jep Davis was elected captain for the ensuing year.
A SEVERE ATTACK. — Some poor student of the University had it bad when he wrote to the Leavenworth Standard as follows:
"LAWRENCE, KAN., Sept. 20. 1886. The school year, with its pleasures and pains, its light and shadows, its sadness and gladness, and its little heart pains, has begun. 'Twas but yesterday we grasped the hands of friends in fond farewell. To-day we grasp the hands of new friends in greeting. Another year with its memories and its dreamful fancies have gone, and another year with its hopes and possibilities takes its place. The prophecies of yesterday are the memories of to-day; its dreams, today's realities."
It is dollars to cents that the poor fellow had been taking in Bismarck fair, Sol Smith Russell, Devil's Auction, and perhaps some of Leavenworth's lightning liquid, when those "memories, dreamful fancies, hopes and possibilities, prophecies," etc., oppressed him so heavily.
We always knew "our Fritz" would come to the front, and here he is: "Prof. Fritz closed a very successful course of instruction in elocution this morning. During his short stay in Nevada he has proven himself, by his method, his mastery of the art, his diligence and devotion to his calling, admirably fitted for his work as a teacher of elocation and oratory. The closing exercises consisted of recitations by the pupils, followed by selections by Prof. Fritz. The professor is a reader of fine ability and possesses rare qualifications as a teacher. His recitation of "Claudius and Cynthia" was a vivid picture. His rendition of the "Flower Scene," from Ingomar, and "Old Dog Bowser," were especially enjoyed. With his fine voice and practical knowledge of his art, he certainly ought, at no distant day, to reach the topmost round of the ladder."
