The Kappa Alpha Theta, with its black cover and gold letters, came out last week. It is published by Kappa chapter, and ranks among the best fraternity magazines. Agnes Emery is the editor-in-chief, and Maggie Eidemiller and May Webster her assistants. Hattie Haskell looks after the business affairs of the paper. In such able hands the paper cannot be but a success.
On next Wednesday evening we are to be unusually favored in the amusement line, by the presentation of "Little Barefoot," by Maggie Mitchell. Miss Mitchell is one of the brightest and liveliest of American actresses, and considered by many to be superior to Lotta or Minnie Palmer. This is certainly the chance for those who have been growing about the lack of good attractions. Go and see her.
Kansas has thirteen good men, who seem to be satisfied with everything, except, possibly, their semi-annual, which gives little information other than that they keep track of their alumni and have for an ally the I.

The Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. gave a reception to their friends last Friday evening. Dr. Lippincott delivered a short and interesting address; Maud Thrasher rendered a declamation in her usual happy style; Mr. Higgins sang a solo, and then there was supper; and such a supper—it showed that the Y. M. C. A. fully appreciated the wants of the inner man.
This is hard on the I. C.s
The joint committee on ways and means reported the pharmacy bill to the house Wednesday with the recommendation that it pass. We anticipate no trouble now.
One of the most pleasant parties ever given in Lawrence, was that given by Herb Bullene last Wednesday evening. It was a Mikado party, and the novelty of the affair, of course, added interest.
B. C. Preston, at one time our fighting editor, is the hero of a cutting scrape. He was going east over the Wabash road when a gentleman claimed his seat, which Mr. Preston refused to give him. The gentleman then drew a revolver and was about to do Mr. Preston, when he executed a flank movement, drew a large knife and cut the gentleman quite seriously.
*Haee fabula doeset—don't monkey with the COURHER men.*
The Topeca Capital has the following to say in regard to the consolidation: "The "consolidated" University Council has made its appearance, and promises to do a great good, where heretofore there has been a continual war and wasting of words. We wish the new paper the greatest success, and trust it will fill the excellent field it has without any further recourse to two "Dromios."
The University Review, one of the six publications issued from the Kansas State University, is before us. It is "fresh" as the flowers that bloom in the spring; demolishes the Wichita Eagle at one fell swoop; informs the country that Fitz Jain Porter was "unjustly stripped" of his commission, and rebukes "bitter participation" of General John A. Logan, and states that the Indian is a "paradox," which is one mean thing we had not heard of him before. — Atchison Champion.
Messrs. H. J. Rushner & Son, jewelers, have furnished and put up in the University within the past few days, an electric watch-clock, manufactured by the celebrated watch and clock makers, E. Howard & Co., of Boston. This clock is designed to keep a record of the watchman's visits to the different parts of the building, as well as for ringing bells at the end of recitations in the different rooms, and for keeping accurate time. This is undoubtedly the finest clock in the state. The price of it was $250.
On last Friday evening the boys of Phi PSi made a farewell call on Miss Famie Pratt at the home of her friend, Miss Hattie Haskell.
A Pleasant Surprise.
The arrival of the boys was a complete surprise to Miss Pratt, but did not find her unprepared to entertain with usual grace.
The Theta Girls, invited by Miss Haskell, were present and added pleasure to the occasion.
Mr. Gilmore, in behalf of the visiting company, presented to the fair hostess a beautiful silver card case as a slight token of the regard in which she is held by the Phi País, and as a slight evidence of their appreciation of a true and worthy friend.
As the company dispersed, after an evening of enjoyment, clouded only by the thought of the loss of one who has made herself so dear to all each one, in thought at least, expressed the wish:
May fortune attend you,
And pleasures untold;
And long may you live-
But never grow old.

Will Gillespie, a student from Fort Worth, Texas, has disappeared for parts unknown, leaving many debts and a roommate minus fifteen dollars. Gillespie is the person who has been stealing the gloves, mutilers, etc., from the boys' overcourt pockets. He was detected in this by a COURSE reporter, but on promising to do better, he was not exposed. The last seen of Gillespie was Friday afternoon when he boarded a U. P. train for Kansas City. He will probably not return to these parts for some time. He comes from a good 'family', his father being wealthy, and was at one time a member of the legislature from Atchison county, where Gillespie formerly lived. Will formerly had a bad reputation, and had spent a term in the state reform school, but for two years past he has borne a good reputation, and seemed desirous of making a man of himself. His friends are unable to account for his actions.
