A round trip ticket to the oratorical contest at Topeka can be had for seventy-five cents.

The middle class at the high school entertained their friends Friday afternoon with very pleasing literary program.
The meeting of the Unity Club last Friday evening was very successful. Mrs. Diggs delivered her lecture on "Boycottting."
The Seniors generally are not pleased with the new way of making appointments. They say it is merely a way of dodging.
Several students took part in the spiritual meeting held in the city last week. We understand that Sullivan is a first-class medium.
Blair and Crowell went to the country Friday evening to attend a "hoode down." They danced in a barn until two o'clock, then wended their way home, arriving here in time to get breakfast.
The judges on the oratorical contest will be Hon. Charles Blair of Leavenworth, Chief Justice A. H. Horton of Atchion, and Rev. Page of Leavenworth.
The fifth lecture of the course will be delivered next Tuesday evening, by Prof. Francis E. Pipher of Washington University. His subject is the "Nature and Aims of Physical Investigation."
The last meeting of the Y. W. C. A. was held Tuesday afternoon, and was conducted by Miss Lida Jacke. The next meeting will be held on the afternoon of March 9th, and will be conducted by Cora Kimball.
The good work which the Chancellor has done in securing the passage of the Pharmacy bill is known only to a few. It is not too much to say that the appropriation made is due more largely to the efforts of Dr. Lippincott than to the efforts of any other party or parties interested.
The Kent Club holds its regular meeting to-night. The following program will be rendered: Oration, Blair; declaration, Sullivan; paper, F. D. Hutchings; debate, Resolved that the Homestead and Exemption Laws of Kansas should be abolished: affirmative, W. C. Stevens; negative, W. M. Thacher
The lectures given by Dr. Nichols before the Junior class in Physics are full of interest, enlivened by numerous experiments. As these lectures are given in the afternoon, others than those in the regular class should avail themselves of the opportunity of gaining usful information combined with pleasure.
The following is the program of Orophilian for this afternoon:
Readings, Miss Hair and Mr. Rinzie; essays, Miss Arnett. Sidney Phillips; declamations, Misses White and Bartell; orations, Halligan, Rolston and Hackey; debate, affirmative, W. T. Reed, Squires and Mary Sabin; negative, T. F. Doran, Relling and Alback.
Mr. J. K. Emmet, who appears at the Opera House March 11th, needs no introduction to the students. He is the same old favorite he used to be, and the recollection of former engagements in our city are sufficient to insure him a warm reception. His new play, by the way, is great, and you will certainly regret it if you do not hear him.
Oread program for this afternoon: Declamations, Josie Cook and Sadie Emery; readings, Frank Crowell and Laura Lyons; essays, Evelyn Smith, and L. A. Stebbins; orations, Nickel, McAlpine; debate, Resolved that the Charity Institutions throughout the State should not be supported by the State—affirmative, W. H. Brown and A. C. Markley; negative, S. T. Gilmore and W. M. Thacher.
Superintendent Parish and James Mears have not been on good terms for a long time, and Saturday morning they proceeded to settle their difficulties in a pugilistic way. From what we can learn Mears was getting the best of the Superintendent when they were separated. The students are all on Mears' side, who claims that Parish is trying to get rid of him in order to appoint one of his personal friends to the place.
Jackson: "Why, I would rather go around a dozen times than send a note."
Deford: "I will send a note around to-morrow."
Jackson: "Deford, why don't you ask your girl for the dance."
Deford: "Don't doubt it, old boy,
don't doubt it."
"That should be placed in the category of the incomprehensible."
Oread had an interesting meeting last Friday. The literary program consisted of an essay by Jack Schall, a reading by W. H. Brown, a declaration by Helen Sutliff, an oration by W. Priestly, an instrumental solo by Miss Highbargin, and a debate, supported on the affirmative by Riggs, and the negative by Jenks. Miss Harrigan the new president, makes
Hunnicut, the new president, makes
an excellent presiding officer. After the literary program and miscellaneous business they had as ocial good time.
The following letter to the COURIER explains itself :
DEAR BOTS: —I assure you, one of the most welcome bits of news I have received since I landed on the this side, was that which informed me of the consolidation of the two Couriers. The last bearer between it and the front ranks of college journalism has been removed, and there is no reason why it should not take its well merited position. Allow me to congratulate you most heartily, and to wish you all manner of success.
BERLIN, GERMANY, Feb. 15, 1886
Very truly,

Linden, 45.
Handel-Haydn.
The Handel-Haydn concert last Tuesday evening was one of the finest home entertainments ever given in Lawrence. The success of the Handel-Haydn society is greatly due to the efforts of Profs. MacDonald and Aldrich. The entertainment was excellent, each performer appearing at their best. The solos by Bertha Starr, Mrs. Parke, Mr. Mull and Mr. Lott were well rendered, and received the merited applause of the audience. The duet by Mabel Gore and Prof. MacDonald was rendered in true classic style as all their duets are.
The orchestra, led by Prof. Aldrich, was one of the events of the evening. The solo by Mrs. Sol Marks was thought by many to be the finest ever given at a home entertainment in Lawrence. Mrs. Marks has studied under some of the best teachers in the country, and is one of the best singers that has ever been in Lawrence. Prof. MacDonald's solo wss well received. The vocal solo by Mrs. Grant was highly appreciated by the audience, and received merited applause. The Handel-Haydn society can rest assured that all of their concerts hereafter will be well attended.
